A Staten Island Church Is Being Converted into a Migrant Shelter.

A plan to establish a migrant shelter within a Staten Island church has drawn sharp criticism from local officials. Authorities announced on Monday that they plan to set up 15 beds inside the Faith United Methodist Church on Heberton Avenue, Port Richmond, to serve as an overnight refuge for single adult men seeking asylum in the United States. This decision has been met with opposition from various community leaders, including Staten Island Borough President Vito Fossella.

At a press conference held outside the church, Fossella expressed frustration, claiming that local officials were only informed of the plan last week. He believes the initiative will negatively impact the community. “This approach is hurtful to the community and its people,” Fossella remarked.

Other prominent figures, such as Councilwoman Kamillah Hanks and Councilman David Carr, joined Fossella. The political leaders stood united in their opposition, emphasizing that the residents were not adequately informed about the shelter‘s establishment. Hanks argued that such decisions undermine community trust and stability. “The residents of this district are tired of waking up to find decisions made behind their backs, impacting community safety and cohesion,” she stated.

Hanks also raised concerns about the church’s suitability as a shelter, citing potential health and safety risks, including poor ventilation and fire hazards. “Faith United Methodist Church lacks the necessary infrastructure and facilities to safely and comfortably house occupants,” she noted.

This isn’t the first time Staten Islanders have protested against a migrant shelter. In October, residents celebrated the removal of migrants from the St. John’s Villa Academy shelter following a fire hazard declaration by the FDNY. Earlier this year, plans for a 57-bed migrant shelter at St. John’s Episcopal Church in Rosebank were abandoned due to pushback from groups opposed to illegal immigration.

Biden to Announce Policy ENCOURAGING Sham Marriages for Illegals.

Joe Biden is set to announce protections for illegal aliens married to U.S. citizens, benefiting up to 500,000 migrants. Biden will outline the details of the pro-illegal policy at the White House during an event marking the 12th anniversary of Barack Obama’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.

The new policy will shield illegal aliens with U.S. spouses from deportation, gift them work permits, and offer a pathway to citizenship. It is likely to encourage more sham marriages.

Marrying a citizen is already a route to citizenship, but those who enter the country illegally without a visa must currently leave the U.S. while they pursue green card applications.

The Biden regime’s initiative will be one of the most expansive unilateral actions by a U.S. President to gift legal status to unlawfully present migrants since Obama implemented the DACA program. Biden also plans to introduce new measures to assist DACA recipients, or “Dreamers,” in gaining access to work permits.

A majority of Americans—54 percent—believe the 81-year-old Democrat is “encouraging” illegal aliens to enter the U.S. en masse to “create a permanent majority” for his party over time. It is projected that illegal immigration during his current term will equal all legal immigration via Ellis Island from 18992 to 1954.

DATA: 2/3rds of Hispanics Wants Illegals Deported.

A CBS News/YouGov poll conducted earlier this month reveals significant support among the American electorate for a national mass deportation program. According to the survey, 62 percent of registered voters back the deportation of all illegal immigrants currently living illegally in the United States, while just 38 percent oppose their removal.

The survey results show even more surprising trends within certain demographic groups traditionally associated with Democratic leanings. Notably, 58 percent of women and individuals holding at least a four-year college degree supported such a deportation policy. Additionally, 53 percent of Hispanic voters indicated their approval of the measure. This figure is slightly less than the 67 percent—over two-thirds—of white respondents.

Only among black respondents did support fall below 50 percent. Just 47 percent of black respondents said they support mass deportation.

The growing popularity of mass deportation among voters coincides with a trend that shows former President Donald J. Trump gaining traction among Hispanic voters. CNN data and election analyst Harry Enten noted that Trump commands considerable trust in issues of border security and immigration within this demographic. Enten highlighted that 49 percent of Hispanic voters trust Trump more on these issues compared to 24 percent who trust Joe Biden, marking a significant shift from the 2020 election when Biden won this group overwhelmingly.

These findings align with broader voter concerns about the situation at the southern border, which has become a pivotal issue in the upcoming election. The National Pulse reported that during Trump‘s recent rally in the Bronx, New York, minority voters turned out in mass to see the former President while chanting: “Build the Wall.”

Judge May Strip Rudy Giuliani Of Right To Control His Finances.

U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Sean Lane is considering whether to strip America’s Mayor, Rudy Giuliani, of control over his finances. On Monday, the judge heard two hours of arguments from attorneys representing Giuliani and his creditors, though the court declined to issue an immediate decision on the matter.

The former New York City mayor filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy after a jury in December awarded two Georgia election workers an absurd defamation verdict. Ruby Freeman and Wandrea “Shaye” Moss were awarded  $148 million over allegations they were defamed by Giuliani over claims the two engaged in a ballot fraud scheme in Fulton County, Georgia, during the 2020 presidential election.

“There are reasons to be very concerned here. I’m not going to beat a dead horse,” Judge Lane said before adjourning the court with no decision on the matter. The two women contend Giuliani‘s bankruptcy filing does not discharge him from paying the defamation award. However, the filing does allow the former federal prosecutor and New York City mayor to remain in control of his financial interests.

For several months, Giuliani‘s creditors have accused the Republican politician who led New York City through the 9/11 terrorist attacks of hiding his financial interests and using the bankruptcy filing to delay payment. At the Monday hearing, an attorney for the Freeman and Moss crassly accused Giuliani of conspiring to avoid payment: “He’s not a doddering 80-year-old. He is a shrewd and manipulative man. His reports are false, inconsistent, and late. His deadlines are ignored.”

Giuliani’s attorney, Gary Fischoff, contended that a full evidentiary hearing is needed before the judge can make any final decisions. He argued that the payment situation was improving and that current expenses were being paid through Giuliani‘s own money and not that flagged for creditors.

Secret Service Agent Robbed At Gunpoint During Biden’s California Fundraising Trip.

A member of the United States Secret Service (USSS) was robbed at gunpoint in Orange County, California, on Saturday and discharged their firearm during the incident. It is unclear whether the agent involved was a member of Joe Biden‘s traveling security detail.

“A member of the U.S. Secret Service was the victim of an armed robbery in Tustin, California, late Saturday when returning from a work assignment,” the USSS said in a statement following the incident. They added: “The employee discharged their service weapon during the incident but unknown if the assailants were struck. We are thankful that the employee did not sustain any injuries.”

The Tustin, California Police Department says the investigation remains open and ongoing. Meanwhile, the 81-year-old Democrat incumbent, Joe Biden, was in Los Angeles for a fundraising event on Saturday. Biden, along with a number of celebrities, gathered at the Peacock Theater. It is reported that Biden had already returned to his hotel room by 9:00 PM, half an hour before the armed robbery incident.

This marks the latest unwanted publicity for the president’s protective service. The National Pulse reported in late April that a member of Kamala Harris’s Secret Service detail was involved in a physical fight with her superior. It was subsequently revealed that the agent in question, Michelle Herczeg, had thrown menstrual pads at other agents and had a concerning history of mental health incidents. Agents within the service had raised numerous concerns regarding Herczeg’s erratic behavior and history.

HOAX: Biden DOJ Official Arrested for Sending Himself ‘Racist, Anti-Immigrant’ Messages.

Texas Rangers have arrested a Democrat candidate and Joe Biden appointee in Fort Bend for allegedly fabricating racist online messages addressed to himself and framing supporters of his rival. Taral Patel, the Democratic candidate for Precinct 3 Commissioner, faces Online Impersonation and Misrepresentation of Identity charges.

Rangers took Patel into custody following an investigation that began in October 2023. The inquiry started after the incumbent, Republican Commissioner Andy Meyers, urged authorities to find the origin of the racist messages Patel received.

Patel’s arrest record reveals he spent several months creating fake online profiles to impersonate Meyers’ supporters and send himself derogatory comments. Patel posted the inflammatory messages on social media in September 2023, describing the remarks as driven by “deep and misguided fear” within the GOP.

“[W]hen my Republican opponent’s supporters’ decide to hurl racist, anti-immigrant, Hinduphobic, or otherwise disgusting insults at my family, faith community, colleagues, and me – that crosses a line,” Patel wrote on Facebook, sharing screenshots of the supposed racist remarks. Patel allegedly used a photograph of an unsuspecting Fort Bend resident without consent to perpetuate the hoax.

Biden previously appointed Patel to the Office of White House Liaison and the White House Asian American Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander (WHAANHPI) Committee. Patel also worked at the Department of Justice (DOJ), ironically in the Public Integrity Section of the Criminal Division.

MAGA COUNTRY?

Bobby Eberle, the Fort Bend County Republican Chairman, compares Patel’s actions to those of disgraced actor Jussie Smollett. Smollett infamously claimed that Donald Trump supporters yelled, “This is MAGA country,” beat him, and tied a noose around his neck in Chicago. Authorities demonstrated that he orchestrated the attack with the assistance of two African men with whom he had a sexual relationship.

“Whether Republican or Democrat, such tactics should be unequivocally condemned by all who value integrity and accountability in politics,” Eberle stated. “Fort Bend County residents deserve leadership that fosters trust and sincerity rather than deceit and manipulation for political gain.”

Hate crime hoaxes have become a common feature of American politics since 2016. Yasmin Seweid pleaded guilty to fabricating a story about Trump supporters ripping her hijab off on a New York subway in 2017. In 2020, authorities arrested Trumaine Foster in Mississippi for spraying his cars with the words ‘Leave N*****s’ and ‘Trump’. In 2022, transgender activist Nikki Joly pleaded guilty to torching his own home in Jackson, Michigan, burning two German shepherd dogs and three cats alive, blaming anti-LGBTQ arsonists.

Democrat Rep. Barbara Lee recently claimed a “white guy” tried to stop her from using a Capitol elevator reserved for Congressmen, accusing her of stealing her congressional lapel pin. Skeptics cast doubt on the story, though it has not been proven false.

DATA: Near Half of Independents Say Biden Uses DOJ To Target Political Enemies.

New polling data suggests a significant portion of the electorate believes the Biden government “…has actively used the Justice Department to investigate political enemies with little or no evidence of actual wrongdoing.” The data is troubling for Joe Biden as it shows a sizeable portion of independent voters—41 percent—agree that the Biden government has purposefully targeted its political enemies. Additionally, even one in ten Democrats agree.

The Ipsos poll comes on the heels of former President Donald J. Trump‘s conviction by a New York City jury in the hush money case brought by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg. While Democrats expected the conviction to weaken Trump—the 2024 presumptive Republican presidential nominee—polling data, for the most part, has shown that not to be the case.

A large number of independent voters in the Ipsos poll also signaled they believe major figures in the Democratic Party played a part in pushing Bragg to prosecute Trump. Nearly 40 percent of independent respondents said they believe New York Attorney General Letitia James was involved in pushing Bragg to prosecute.

Meanwhile, over one in three independents said they think Democratic Party national leaders were involved in pursuing the prosecution. Additionally, over one in three independents say the Biden Department of Justice (DOJ) was directly involved in Bragg’s prosecution of Trump—while just 27 percent said it was not. Nearly 50 percent of independents said they believed Bragg‘s prosecution was intended to give the 81-year-old Democrat incumbent Joe Biden an advantage over Trump in the 2024 presidential election.

Japan Granted Asylum to Just 303 People Last Year, Rejecting 98% of Applicants.

Japan’s Justice Ministry reported last week that the country granted refugee status to a record 303 asylum-seekers in 2023, surpassing the previous high of 202 set in 2022. The increase comes amid changes to Japanese immigration laws, which created a quasi-refugee status for foreign nationals fleeing active conflict zones.

The East Asian island nation, which has stringent immigration controls, has seen a significant increase in refugee applications from countries such as Afghanistan, Myanmar, and Ethiopia. The total number of asylum-seekers applying for refuge in Japan reached 13,823 in 2023, representing more than a threefold increase from the prior year’s figures. A majority of the accepted refugees, 237 individuals, hailed from Afghanistan. Despite the rise in total asylum-seekers, the approval rate remained low, at just 2.2 percent.

In addition to those granted full refugee status, the Justice Ministry reported that 1,005 individuals, predominantly from Ukraine, were permitted to reside in Japan on humanitarian grounds. However, these individuals did not meet the stringent criteria for refugee status. The changes to Japan‘s refugee program have allowed for a new category of “subsidiary protection,” aimed at providing asylum to persons escaping ongoing conflicts. Since its introduction on December 1, 1,110 applications for special status were filed, 1,101 of which were from Ukrainian nationals. By the end of February, 647 applicants had been granted quasi-refugee status, 644 of which were Ukrainians.

According to the Department of State, the number of official refugee admissions into the United States is 125,000 per year—a number set by the Biden government. However, when the number of asylum seekers granted temporary residence pending an immigration court appearance is included, that number is much higher—likely in the millions per year.

Biden’s WH Tranny Accused of Rape — Blamed Having a ‘Phallus.’

Rose Montoya, a transgender TikTok personality whom Joe Biden invited to the White House, faces accusations of sexually assaulting multiple people. Montoya, a biological male who exposed his mock breasts at a White House Pride event, allegedly abused at least five individuals over several years.

Jesse Diamond, a biologically female transman, and pornographer known online as TransMuscleBear, recounted her experience with Montoya on social media. Diamond, who was recovering from a transgender mutilation surgery at the time, posted screenshots of an email purportedly sent by Montoya. It contains an apology, stating, “I broke your trust and violated you,” and “I’m sorry I forced myself on you.”

Montoya’s purported apology shows guilt-tripping directed at Diamond. He claims he thought the biological woman was “triggered by me simply having a phallus” and laments that this “caused me so much pain and dysphoria.”

TRAUMA. 

Diamond claims the abuse was persistent, lasting nearly a year, and traumatic. “I attempted to end my life on more than one occasion due to how depressed I was from the trauma,” Diamond shared. She said she avoided intimacy for almost two years after her third transgender surgery as a result of the alleged abuse.

Diamond indicates that there are at least four other victims and stresses the severity of her own experiences. “I was incapable of walking the first 10+ times that she [sic] r*ped me,” Diamond wrote. “I couldn’t run away if I tried & I couldn’t afford to stay anywhere else.” She also revealed that Montoya attempted to obtain a restraining order to silence her but was denied by a judge.

Diamond urges viewers to ask Montoya to take accountability rather than issue threats. In the email excerpts Diamond shares, Montoya appears to admit to the assaults and express regret.

Diamond emphasizes that she will present Montoya’s confession in court if necessary.

Governor Sounds Voter Fraud Alarm After THOUSANDS of Unlawful Ballots Discovered.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott has sounded the alarm on voter fraud, highlighting a recent court decision ordering a new election in Houston. In May, a judge determined that over 1,400 unlawful votes were cast in Harris County’s 180th District Court race in November 2022, preventing the identification of the rightful winner.

The disputed race saw Republican candidate Tami Pierce losing to Democrat candidate DaSean Jones by fewer than 450 votes. Judge Peeples found 983 votes were disqualified due to residency issues, 445 lacked valid photo identification, and 48 mail-in ballots were missing signatures or were not timely.

Following the court ruling, Governor Abbott took to X, formerly Twitter, to voice his concerns, warning: “Voter fraud is real. Especially in Houston.” He pointed to Judge David Peeples’s findings of 1,430 unlawful votes, underscoring the need for strict election integrity reforms.

Many X users responded to Abbott’s post expressing frustration over the lack of strong action against voter fraud. Some suggested using hand-counted paper ballots to prevent similar issues in future elections, while others called for harsher penalties, including mandatory prison sentences for election fraudsters.

ENDEMIC FRAUD. 

Research by the Heartland Institute suggests mail-in voting fraud is widespread, with a substantial share of mail-in voters self-reporting that they cast unlawful ballots in 2020. Seventeen percent of 2020 voters told the institute they voted in a state where they were no longer legal residents. Twenty-one percent said they filled out a ballot for someone else, and 17 percent admitted to forging the signature of a friend or family member “with or without their permission.”

Rasmussen reported similar findings in December, additionally noting that one in ten poll respondents said someone offered them “pay” or a “reward” for voting.
