Gaetz Destroys McCarthy-Backed Candidate In Primary.

America First Congressman Matt Gaetz has crushed Aaron Dimmock, his primary challenger in Florida’s 1st Congressional District. Dimmock had been backed by Kevin McCarthy, the Republican-in-name-only (RINO) former Speaker of the House of Representatives ousted from his position by Gaetz in October 2023.

“Kevin McCarthy spent $3 million in this race,” Gaetz said following his 45-point victory over “DEI Dimmock,” whose background as a Black Lives Matter supporter and diversity, equity, and inclusion overseer was uncovered over the course of the primary campaign.

“$3 million,” Gaetz reiterated. “Two years ago, I got 70 percent of the vote. And tonight, it looks like we’re getting 73 percent of the vote. So, Kevin, if you’re watching, spend a little more next time, and we’ll get to 80!”

McCarthy became Speaker in January 2023 on his 15th attempt with the support of Gaetz, who had previously blocked his ascension. McCarthy made various promises to Gaetz and his faction on spending and holding the Deep State accountable—but reneged once he had the gavel, passing unpopular bills with more Democratic votes than Republican votes.

Gaetz made history by triggering a successful vote to remove McCarthy from the Speaker’s chair in October 2023. Since then, McCarthy has resigned from the House and embarked on a largely unsuccessful “revenge tour” to try to punish the MAGA lawmakers who ousted him.

Rep. Nancy Mace, one of McCarthy’s targets, mocked the “revenge tour” in February, suggesting the “bored” former Speaker should stop being “a complete loser” and “get a job.”

Ireland Considers Revoking Tommy Robinson’s Passport After Canada Arrest.

The Irish government is considering whether to revoke the passport of anti-grooming gang activist Tommy Robinson. Born in England, Robinson holds Irish citizenship through his Irish-born mother. However, the Irish Department of Foreign Affairs is reviewing his passport status following his arrest in Canada for alleged immigration violations.

Canadian officials recorded Robinson’s country of citizenship as Ireland on an immigration form rather than Britain, presumably because he chose to travel under his Irish passport. Under the Passports Act, the Minister for Foreign Affairs, Deputy Prime Minister (Tánaiste) Micheál Martin, can cancel a passport if the holder’s actions threaten national security, public safety, or violate the common good.

Its removal would complicate Robinson’s ability to move freely through the European Union (EU), of which Ireland is a member. Since 2020, he has reportedly spent some time living in Spain, another EU member, explaining that his family has become unsafe in Britain.

Robinson, who has previously displayed his Irish passport on social media, was briefly detained by Canadian authorities in Alberta in June before having his passport returned. At the time, Robinson was engaged in a speaking tour across Canada.

He also recently traveled to Ireland to document protests against mass migration in Ireland, which has received large numbers of asylum seekers in recent months. Robinson is considered a central figure in the recent anti-mass migration protests in the UK following the fatal stabbing of three young girls, allegedly by a teenager with an African migration background, by the British state. However, Robinson did not participate in them directly, and he discouraged rioting.

Religious Liberty? Ukrainian Parliament Passes Bill Banning Ukrainian Orthodox Church.

The Ukrainian legislature has adopted a bill effectively banning the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (UOC), with lawmakers and others accusing the Church of maintaining ties with Russia. The bill is expected to be signed by President Volodymyr Zelensky in the coming weeks, with UOC clergy given around nine months to prove to the state that they have severed their ties with the Russian Orthodox Church.

The ban on religious activities of any religious group connected to or sympathetic toward Russia was passed with 256 votes for the bill at its final reading, compared to just 29 lawmakers voting against it.

The law was initially proposed last year, with lawmakers such as Iryna Herashchenko of the European Solidarity party calling the Church a “sect” of the Russian security services.

Despite the crackdown on the Church, which has included the arrests of priests and bishops, who in some cases have been stripped of their Ukrainian citizenships, and the mass confiscation of churches and monasteries, thousands of priests, monks, and nuns, and millions of Ukrainians still belong to it. Its roots in the country are deep, with the Metropolitanate of Kiev first established in 988 A.D.

After Russia’s 2022 invasion, the UOC announced a split with the Moscow Patriarchate. It had previously resisted doing so for theological reasons, prompting the creation of the alternative Orthodox Church of Ukraine (OCU), which is backed by the Ukrainian government and has been handed much of the property confiscated from the UOC.

The OCU is recognized by the Ecumenical Patriarch in Constantinople and the Orthodox churches in Greece, Cyprus, and Alexandria. However, the Orthodox churches in Russia, Serbia, Antioch, Romania, and Poland, representing the vast majority of Orthodox Christians, consider the government-backed church uncanonical and schismatic.

Illegal Immigration Is Costing This State Over $100 Million A Year.

Illegal immigrants are costing Mississippi taxpayers over $100 million annually, according to a new report released by State Auditor Shad White. The study examines the cost borne by taxpayers to provide education, healthcare, and incarceration for the state’s illegal immigrant population. Meanwhile, the state estimates there are currently 22,000 illegal immigrants residing in the state—comprising over a third of Mississippi’s total foreign-born population.

“Mississippi’s illegal immigration problem is spiraling out of control and is costing taxpayers millions,” White said in a statement regarding the data. The State Auditor added: “Our public schools, hospitals, and prisons will continue to lose massive sums of money that we could have spent on our own citizens if this problem is not solved.”

While the Mississippi Department of Education is barred from documenting the legal status of students and their families, analysts with the State Auditor’s office estimate over 2,500 illegal immigrants are enrolled in K-12 schools. The state’s education funding formula allocates education dollars based on the number of students enrolled in a school—with an additional 15 percent in funding available for students who struggle with learning English. The report estimates that the education cost of Mississippi’s illegal immigrants is upwards of $25 million annually.

The auditor’s report shows, however, that the cost of healthcare for illegal immigrants is by far the biggest drain on the state’s coffers. White’s office estimates that the state spends over $77 million every year on healthcare for illegals—factoring in emergency room visits, lack of insurance, and Medicaid services for U.S.-born children of noncitizens.

Tthe State Auditor’s office also estimates that the cost of incarcerating illegal immigrants until they can be transferred to federal immigration authorities costs the state upwards of $1.7 million annually.

Illegal Immigration Is Up Over 100 Percent In These Western European Territories.

Illegal migrant arrivals from Africa surged to unprecedented levels in Spain during the first half of August. Data from the Spanish Interior Ministry shows a sharp increase of 126 percent in the Canary Islands, off the African coast, and a 143 percent rise in Ceuta, a Spanish exclave on the coast of North Africa.

In July, Fernando Clavijo—the Canary Islands’ regional leader from a coalition of center-right parties—appealed to Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez and the European Union (EU) for urgent intervention regarding migration. From January to mid-August, the Canary Islands recorded 22,304 irregular arrivals, up 126.1 percent from the same period the previous year.

While the numbers are small compared to the millions of migrants penetrating the U.S. southern border, they are transformative for the islands’ relatively small population, which includes thousands of British and German retirees. The majority of the illegals originate from Mauritania and the Sahel region, spanning the southern Sahara from the Atlantic Ocean to the Red Sea. Violence in the region, where American influence is waning under the Biden-Harris government, is spurring large movements of migrants.

From January to August, 31,155 illegal migrants arrived in Spain, representing a 66.2 percent increase compared to the same period last year. Most of these migrants, approximately 29,512 individuals, arrived by sea on small boats. Spain remains a critical entry point to the European Union (EU) for migrants, particularly those from West African countries navigating the dangerous Atlantic route to the Canary Islands and those seeking to break into the exclaves of Ceuta and Melilla through Morocco.

The growing migrant numbers have prompted calls for action from the leader of the opposition People’s Party, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, who requested the government declare a “migratory emergency.” The populist VOX party also frequently criticizes Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez’s far-left government on border security.

WATCH: Migrant Appealing Deportation for Sex Crimes Pushes Mailman in Front of Train.

A migrant appealing a deportation order for multiple sex crimes in the United Kingdom has been convicted of attempted murder for pushing a mailman in front of a train at Oxford Circus station in London earlier this year. Brwa Shorsh, 24, pushed 61-year-old Tadeusz Potoczek into the path of a subway train on February 3. Shorsh denied attempting to kill Potoczek, claiming it was simply an act of “revenge” prompted by the mailman allegedly giving him a “dirty look.”

Shorsh had been living on the streets since arriving in Britain in 2019. He has numerous prior convictions for assault and indecent acts. An earlier immigration tribunal acknowledged his persistent criminal behavior, highlighting 12 convictions for 21 offenses, including assault, anti-social behavior, and public indecency.

After Shorsh pushed Potoczek onto the tracks, another traveler intervened, pulling the 61-year-old back onto the platform. Train driver Robert Walker had managed to activate the emergency brake early enough to avert a tragedy.

Shorsh’s conviction comes just weeks after large anti-mass migration protests and riots that were sparked by the murder of three young girls, allegedly by a migration-background teenager.

So-called subway pushings or shoves, many of which are deadly, have become so common in New York City that they have their own category in the New York Post.

Great Replacement: Govt Flooding Village of Just 165 People with Hundreds of Migrants.

The Irish hamlet of Tipperary is set to be flooded with more migrants than currently live there in a government relocation scheme. The European Union (EU) member’s so-called Department of Integration previously moved hundreds of supposedly Ukrainian refugees into a local hotel, but now plans to replace them with non-Western migrants.

This move has triggered protests in Tipperary, where the local population of approximately 165 now faces the arrival of around 265 migrants, utterly transforming the village’s demographics.

The migrant population being relocated to Tipperary is reportedly comprised predominantly of single, military-age men.

Social media reports claim additional migrant compounds are being established in rural Ireland. These sites are said to be guarded by government security, housing mostly military-age males from various countries. Some claim these areas resemble military camps, with no attempts at community integration.

Earlier this month, protests erupted in Tipperary at the hotel that will be housing the migrants. Similar protests have taken place across Ireland.

Mass migration has been a major issue in the country in recent months, with riots last November following the stabbing of several children near a school in Dublin. Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) superstar Conor McGregor called on Irish people to destroy the hotels slated to house migrants, arguing that the country is at war.

Anti-mass migration protests have also swept the United Kingdom over recent weeks following the fatal stabbing of three young girls at a dance class in Southport, England. The suspect has an African migration background.

Texas Rancher Sues Biden-Harris Government Over Influx of Illegal Immigrants.

A Texas rancher, Michael Vickers, and Kinney County Sheriff Brad Coe have filed a lawsuit against Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The lawsuit, filed by the Immigration Reform Law Institute (IRLI), claims that current border policies have resulted in record numbers of illegal immigrants entering the United States, causing significant harm to Vickers’s ranch and other areas in Texas.

Michael Vickers, who owns a 1,000-acre ranch in Brooks County, says that the Biden-Harris government’s immigration policies have led to extensive damage to his property. According to the lawsuit, Vickers has incurred over $50,000 in fence and gate repairs due to the influx of migrants crossing his land. The complaint also mentions the environmental damage caused by trash and litter left by illegal immigrants, which has negatively impacted the food and water sources for Vickers’s livestock.

Kinney County, Atascosa County, and Kinney County are also plaintiffs in the case, seeking to halt the majority of the Biden-Harris government’s current border policies.

IRLI’s executive director, Dale Wilcox, stated that the Biden-Harris government has intentionally weakened border security to increase the number of illegal immigrants entering the country. The lawsuit contends that this is not merely a policy failure but a violation of the Constitution.

The legal action highlights the Biden-Harris government’s parole policies, which have reportedly facilitated the entry of approximately 1.2 million migrants into the U.S. since the beginning of 2023. These migrants have entered through various means, including border crossings and commercial flights, according to the lawsuit.

The plaintiffs claim illegal immigrants traversing Vickers’ ranch have caused thousands of dollars in damages and pose safety risks. The lawsuit mentions incidents where Vickers and his wife had to rely on guard dogs and carry firearms due to the presence of criminal groups among the illegals.

Record 12.5 Million Illegal Border Crossings Confirmed by Biden-Harris Government, True Number Likely Far Higher.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) released new monthly border apprehension data, revealing that the overall number of illegal border crossing apprehensions reached over 10.5 million in July, with the fiscal year ending on September 30. This figure does not include the estimated 2 million individuals who evaded capture, pushing the total number of illegal border crossers to more than 12.5 million.

While the CBP estimate sheds new light on the extent of the border crisis under the Biden-Harris government, the data is incomplete. The CBP data does not account for those identified as “inadmissible” but released into the U.S. through the CBP One app or individuals released via parole programs established by the Biden-Harris government under the stewardship of Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.

Additionally, the CBP figures exclude the hundreds of thousands admitted through parole programs from eight countries following the establishment of processing centers in Colombia and Guatemala.

Numerous parole programs have been declared illegal by the U.S. House Committee on Homeland Security and were used as grounds for the House of Representatives impeaching Mayorkas earlier this year. The Democrat-controlled Senate, however, declined to take up the impeachment resolution, which could have removed the Biden-Harris DHS Secretary from office.

The almost certain undercount of illegal immigrants in the country by the Biden-Harris government has led some—including former President Donald J. Trump—to speculate that the true numbers may be over 20 million.

The northern border is also seeing unprecedented crossings, with 162,865 apprehensions this fiscal year.

Dems Roll Out Largest Ever Election Legal Team, Adding Marc Elias.

Kamala Harris’s 2024 presidential campaign has marshaled an extensive senior legal team to counter Republican challenges to suspected ballot fraud, lax election rules, and possibly the 2024 election results. The team will oversee a vast network of lawyers and volunteers aimed at protecting election rules benefiting the Democratic candidate and managing potential recounts and litigation.

The legal operation within the Harris campaign is headed by Bob Bauer, former lead counsel to Joe Biden, and Dana Remus, general counsel for Biden’s 2020 campaign. Marc Elias, a prominent election lawyer, will focus on recount efforts. Additional members include Maury Riggan, the campaign’s general counsel, and Josh Hsu, from the vice president’s office.

The team will also rely on top lawyers from prominent law firms, such as Seth Waxman, Donald Verrilli, and John Devaney, to handle litigation. It will deploy local counsel to key battleground states and other states of interest. Vanita Gupta, a former Biden-Harris Department of Justice (DOJ) official, will serve as an informal adviser.

Ms. Remus stated that the legal team had been preparing strategically over the last four years, building capacity to press Democratic Party election interests. Already, the party’s legal efforts have scored several victories, including the dismissal of a Republican lawsuit in Nevada concerning ballot counting and a similar case in Mississippi.

In addition, a Democratic voter protection program led by Meredith Horton will operate across eight key battleground states and four other states of interest. The program intends to assist voters, thwart allegations of fraud, and manage post-Election Day procedures such as absentee ballot cure programs.
