Biden Govt Admits Trump Was Right, Allows Border Wall Construction to Resume.

The Biden government has publicly announced it will allow the resumption of President Donald Trump’s policy of building a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border to deter the thousands of illegal migrants entering the United States, representing a huge win for the 45th President‘s immigration policy.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) even waived 26 federal laws, regulations, and other legal requirements, including the Clean Air Act and the Safe Drinking Water Act, to ensure “the expeditious construction of barriers and roads” in Starr County, Texas, which has experienced nearly 250,000 illegal migrants crossing into its territory this fiscal year.

U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro Mayorkas, explained upon the policy’s announcement, “There is presently an acute and immediate need to construct physical barriers and roads in the vicinity of the border of the United States in order to prevent unlawful entries into the United States in the project areas.”

The decision openly contradicts President Biden’s own claims that building a border wall across the entire southern border was “not a serious policy solution.” In 2020, Biden declared: “There will not be another foot of wall constructed on my administration.” Worse still, the Biden government began selling off $300 million worth of material intended for Trump’s wall at a 99 percent discount over the past several months.

With an election looming and the border crisis spiraling with even pro-sanctuary Democrats in Illinois and New York complaining to Biden that they cannot cope with the influx, the construction of at least some border wall is an example of some of the belated, limited action the White House is taking.

Nikki Haley Demands Colleges Teach ‘Anti-Racism’ or Lose Funding.

Nikki Haley, a 2024 Republican presidential primary candidate, announced she’d pull federal funding from U.S. colleges who do not enact anti-racism programs for students should she win the White House.

Fielding questions from a panel of young voters on Fox News, the former Governor of South Carolina said, “What we need to do is remind everybody ‘hate is hate’… And so on college campuses, if they don’t have programs designed to combat hate – and that includes anti-semitism – their funding should be pulled.”

Former Gov. Haley’s endorsement of college anti-racism programs is a stark break with others in the GOP who oppose such programs as they often are vehicles for Left-wing ideological indoctrination. Over the last several years, numerous educational institutions have come under fire for pushing racial bias and a ‘woke’ Left-wing agenda.

In September, the University of Minnesota’s School of Public Health adopted a curriculum instructing students to acknowledge structural racism is a public health crisis. The University of Central Florida enacted supposedly ‘anti-racist’ programming which actually segregates students by race, instructs them to rise up against White-male Christians, and argues the United States represents white-supremacist culture. Students who attend one of the 64 State University of New York (SUNY) campuses are required to pass an anti-racism course portraying the U.S. as inherently racist.

Polls show Haley in a close race with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis for second place in the 2024 Republican primary, leading DeSantis in both New Hampshire and Iowa. Former President Donald Trump has consistently polled in first place and holds a commanding lead over the rest of the field.

Trump Hauls Whopping $45.5M in Q3, With $36M Primary Cash On Hand.

The Trump campaign raised over $45.5 million in the third quarter of 2023, with over $37.5 million cash on hand and close to $36 million of the total cash on hand designated for the primary.

Ron DeSantis’s campaign raised just $15m in the same period, with just $5m for the primary, meaning their quarterly burn rate is likely higher than how much they raised.

Trump raised $35m to DeSantis’s $25m in Q2.

DeSantis’s Raised Just $5M in Q3, Down from $20M in Q2.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’s fundraising woes continued last quarter with his campaign committee only raising $5 million for the Republican presidential primary contest. An additional $10 million the campaign committee says it raised can only be used for the 2024 general election according to U.S. campaign finance laws. DeSantis’s third quarter fundraising fell well below his second quarter haul of $20 million.

The cash-strapped campaign committee told staff at it’s Tallahassee, Florida headquarters on Wednesday roughly a third of them would be relocated to Iowa. Just over three months away, the Iowa caucuses are a make-or-break primary contest for DeSantis who currently has just $13.5 million cash-on-hand. The campaign believes either winning the Hawkeye state – or finishing with a strong second – will spark the momentum and donors they’ll need to defeat former President Donald Trump, the GOP front-runner.

In Iowa, pro-DeSantis SuperPAC Never Back Down has taken on many of the traditional roles associated with a presidential campaign committee. Campaign functions like bus tours, candidate events, and the entire political ad operation have for the most part been run through the SuperPAC. In addition, the Never Back Down has invested $25 million in a mass text messaging campaign powered by artificial intelligence as a cheaper, but unproven, alternative to television and radio ads. The DeSantis presidential campaign committee, on-the-other-hand, has yet to air even a single television ad.

A poll conducted by the DeSantis campaign’s pollster, Public Opinion Strategies, at the end of September showed Donald Trump leading Iowa with 50 percent – a 31 point advantage over DeSantis who was in a distant second at 19 percent.

Rudy Giuliani is Suing Joe Biden.

Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani has announced that he is suing President Joe Biden for referring to him as a “Russian Pawn” during one of the 2020 Presidential debates with Donald Trump.

Giuliani, who announced the lawsuit during a press conference in New Hampshire on Wednesday afternoon, argued that the remarks have cost him “millions and millions of dollars” in lost clients and consulting business.

“He called me a Russian operative… That is a lie, that is false,” Giuliani stated, “Joe Biden has spent his life telling lies” and referred to the President as a “pathological liar.”

Giuliani’s lawyer, William O’Brien, explained they are filing the suit in New Hampshire as the state “allows the recovery of damages … wherever and in whatever jurisdiction the statements were distributed or published.”

The former New York Mayor is currently facing a lawsuit from Joe Biden’s son Hunter, who alleges in proceedings initiated last month that Giuliani totally annihilated his digital privacy after he published information from Hunter’s laptop.

EXC: Trump Says Biden Can’t ‘Get to the Starting Gate’… ‘He Can’t Even Speak.’

Donald Trump does not believe he will be running against Joe Biden in 2024, with the incumbent’s incompetence and frequent verbal stumbles becoming ever more frequent and ever more likely to force him from the presidential contest as time wears on.

“I don’t imagine he gets to the starting gate,” Trump said of 80-year-old Biden in an exclusive interview with The National Pulse, noting the Democrat “can’t put two sentences together” and has managed to rehabilitate Jimmy Carter by surpassing him as “worst President in history.”

Trump further predicted there “will be a fight” for the Democratic nomination, with Vice President Kamala Harris denied a seamless coronation.

“A lot of people are so afraid to go against her [but] I don’t think it gets handed [to her],” he said. “I think all of a sudden everybody would start jumping in. She’d have to earn it, [and] it would be very hard [for her] to earn.”

The former president said he did not see Michelle Obama stepping in, naming Gavin Newsom, the California Governor, as a probable contender.

“Look, the man’s obviously incompetent. He can’t even speak,” he said of Biden. “The man is grossly incompetent.”

Swiss-French Writer Imprisoned After Calling a Woman A ‘Fat Lesbian.’

A French-Swiss writer has been sentenced to 60 days imprisonment in Switzerland after he referred to a left-wing writer and commentator as a “fat lesbian,” “queer activist,” and “unhinged.”

Alain Bonnet, who writes under the nom de plume “Alain Soral,” was convicted by a court in the city of Lausanne of incitement to hatred, discrimination, and defamation on Monday afternoon. He was also ordered to pay legal costs as well as a hefty fine.

Bonnet, 65, was initially fined by a lower court for defamation, but the Vaud Public Prosecution’s Office believed that should to face prosecution for an alleged “incitement to hatred” and appealed the first-instance decision. As of 2020, Swiss law considers any discrimination based on sexual orientation to be a punishable offense.

Soral’s lawyers, Pascal Junod, argued after the verdict that the writer had been convicted of a “crime of opinion” and “sinned against the dogmas of single thought.” Junod added that Soral will file an appeal to the Swiss federal court and, if necessary, the European Court of Human Rights.

U.S. Adds Just 89k Jobs In September, Missing 150,000 Target.

U.S. private sector payroll increased by just 89,000 jobs in September, well below the 150,000 expected according to the ADP National Employment Report. The lackluster report signals the weakest U.S. labor market since January of 2021. Additionally, wage growth slowed to 5.9 percent – the 12th consecutive month of decline.

The lower-than-expected job numbers come as bad news for President Joe Biden as he ramps up his 2024 re-election campaign. With weakening in the labor market likely to continue as a result of the Federal Reserve’s interest rate hikes, the Biden campaign’s decision to lean into ‘Bidenomics‘ may backfire. Employment sectors that make up core parts of the Democrat Party’s base – including trade, transportation, utilities, and manufacturing – all saw significant losses according to the report. Growth in service sector made up a bulk of the job gains.

ADP’s employment report has a mixed history of successfully forecasting job gains as reported by the U.S. government’s Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). The BLS will release their official non-farm payroll numbers for September this Friday. Economists expect the government agency to report 170,000 were added last month, down from 187,000 in August.

Dems in Panic As Party Fails To Hit Its Own Diversity Targets.

Democrat officials are increasingly concerned the party is unable to meet its own stringent diversity standards and targets, supposedly running the risk of next summer’s convention delegates being “too white” when the party nominee for the 2024 presidential election is chosen.

The Democrat National Committee (DNC) sets its diversity targets by accounting for eligible voters from almost all identities other than white people. Their targets include black Americans, Latinos, Asians, Pacific Islanders, Native Americans, LGBT people, young voters, and those with disabilities. The committee then calculates what the right amount should be from each group, with the figure varying from state to state.

The party often sets targets at far higher rates than what is proportionate to the population, such as in California, where the diversity target for black voters is 12 percent despite black Americans comprising just six and a half percent of the Golden State’s inhabitants.

“I keep looking at these diversity goals in big states like New York, like California. And, for some reason, whether it’s the African American community, Black community, the LGBTQ+ community, or Hispanic community, [the] numbers continue to decrease,” stated Democrat strategist Donna Brazile at a recent committee meeting in Washington D.C.

Former Hillary Clinton campaign staffer Maria Cardona expressed similar concern, explaining, “this number seems to be going in the wrong direction here.”

Officials fear that the lack of diversity reflects the collapse in support among minority groups for Joe Biden, with many getting behind former President Donald Trump.

Indeed, President Biden has witnessed a near 20-point drop in support from the black community and Latinos, whereas Trump has seen his support among black voters jump from eight to 20 percent since 2020.

Foreign-Born Workers in U.S. At ‘All-Time High’.

The number of foreign-born workers in the United States is now just under 32 million, representing an all-time high and rising nearly 10 million in the past three years alone under the Biden government, according to statistics from the U.S. Department of Labour.

The percentage of foreign-born workers is also at a record 18.5 percent as of August this year, breaking the previous record of 18 percent set in 2022, with records dating back to 1996. The total number of foreign nationals arriving in the country to work each month is 65,000 higher this year than compared to 2022.

The rise comes following the Biden government issuing a staggering one million work visas last year – a 25-year high – with around 500,000 green cards granted, in addition to the skyrocketing levels of illegal migration marching across the Southern Border.

Yet, despite the increase, the Biden government announced it would nearly half a million – 470,000 – Venezuelans work permits as a means of “easing the financial strain on major migrant destinations.”

The vast majority of foreign workers seldom find employment in higher-paying industries due to language or vocational restrictions. Worse still, “foreign-born workers often don’t have the time or the wealth to enter a costly training process” for a higher-paying job, explains Ryan Nunn, a researcher at the Minneapolis Federal Reserve.
