The $1.2 trillion spending bill recently signed into law by Joe Biden includes $380 million to strengthen border controls — not in the United States but in Jordan, Lebanon, Egypt, Tunisia, and Oman.
This funding for foreign countries’ border security, which has become a regular fixture in recent omnibus budgets, has ruffled feathers among Republicans, given the crisis at the U.S. southern border.
This discrepancy was highlighted by Rep. Steve Scalise (R-La.) in 2022. He complained the Democrats were “doing border security in foreign countries, [while] impeding border security in our country.”
However, with Scalise as the House majority leader this year, the same policies are still advancing.
While the spending bill secured bipartisan approval, preventing a government shutdown, it saw substantial opposition from conservatives. Rep. Mike Johnson (R-La.), Speaker of the House, faced a motion filed against him by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), accusing him of betraying the faith of the House GOP Conference by allowing the legislation.

Tara McGowan, founder of Courier Newsroom and its parent company Good Information Inc., has made almost 20 visits to Joe Biden’s White House, according to visitor logs. The apparent closeness of McGowan to the ruling regime poses questions about her companies’ claimed independence, considering their openly left-leaning editorial position.
McGowan’s news enterprise has received huge sums of money from leftist plutocrat George Soros. It also boasts significant relationships with key figures in the White House. These include Jordan Finkelstein, Chief of Staff to a senior Biden adviser; Patrick Stevenson, Deputy Assistant to the President and Senior Advisor for Digital Strategy; and Madeline Strasser and Nina Srivastava, linked to former White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain.
Her meetings with these Biden officials raise questions about potential coordination between her media entities and the White House. McGowan and Stevenson, in particular, both focus on online engagement.
McGowan’s White House access seems likely to have facilitated an exclusive interview with Biden for Courier Newsroom.
AGITPROP.
McGowan previously worked for Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton’s election campaigns, and her site initiated a seven-figure ad campaign promoting Democrat politicians during the 2020 elections.
She also runs a progressive political organization named Acronym, which raised $100 million from the likes of Steven Spielberg, Laurene Powell Jobs, and Jeffrey Katzenberg, used to fund leftist political ad campaigns.
The predecessor to Courier Newsroom — The Dogwood — packaged partisan propaganda as if it was straight news, and was intended “to support the flipping of both State House and State Senate chambers in Virginia,” according to an internal memo.
Biden’s White House has been known to collaborate with other leftist news organizations, such the MeidasTouch Network, which created the “bloodbath” hoax.
White House strategist and communications chief Anita Dunn even praised MeidasTouch as the “front lines” of the anti-Trump campaign online.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s district in New York City has become a haven for open-air prostitution and stolen goods thanks to the Democrat policies — particularly illegal immigration — that she advocates for.
Zoom out:AOC represents New York’s 14th District, which spans areas in both Queens and the Bronx.
The details: The Northwestern Queens neighborhoods of Corona, Jackson Heights, and Elmhurst — once vibrant communities — are being described by locals as “third world” as videos of lawlessness have gone viral.
Illegal flea markets: Local resident Ramses Frias [a Democrat-turned-Republican running for state Assembly] filmed endless blocks of illegals selling clothes, food, toys, and other items on the street. Frias and his neighbors see this as “a third-world market” and explain that the items being sold are “stolen from donation bins or stolen from stores.”
Prostitution: Corona’s main street has become known as the “market of sweethearts” because the streets are lined with women soliciting men for sex out in the open during the day, even as families with strollers walk by.
The prostitutes reportedly recruit local children to hand out their X-rated business cards.
NYC Mayor Eric Adams blamed the rise in prostitution on an influx of illegal alien women from Venezuela.
The law:In New York, it is illegal to sell food or goods in public spaces without a permit. And prostitution is illegal.
What is AOC saying? She blamed the lawlessness on Republicans, saying the illegals have to resort to criminal behavior because they’re unable to work legally. This article is adapted from the free ‘Wake Up Right’ newsletter, which you can subscribe to here.

The Florida Supreme Court issued two rulings on Monday approving ballot measures that could broaden abortion rights and legalize the recreational use of marijuana in the state. Florida’s Republican Attorney General, Ashley Moody, asked the state’s high court to review both measures late last year — arguing that the language was too vague and could confuse voters. Under Florida law, the state Supreme Court reviews all ballot measures for clarity prior to an election.
In a 39-page brief filed in November, Moody contended that the abortion rights ballot measure should be kept off of the 2024 ballot as it misleads voters regarding just how expansive the proposed abortion rights would be. “The ballot summary here is part of a … design to lay ticking time bombs that will enable abortion proponents later to argue that the amendment has a much broader meaning than voters would ever have thought,” Moody argued in her court filing. If the measure is adopted by Florida voters, abortion in the state would remain legal up to fetal viability — the definition of ‘viability’ being the cause of the Attorney General’s concern.
At the same time, the Florida Supreme Court reaffirmed the ban on abortions beyond 15 weeks that Governor Ron DeSantis instituted in April 2022. DeSantis also enacted a six-week ban in the wake of the 15-week ban, structured to begin a month following court approval of the 15-week ban. Given Monday’s ruling, the six-week ban could start being enforced in May.
In addition to the abortion ballot question, the court also approved a separate measure asking voters if they want to legalize the recreational use of marijuana in the state. The ballot measure would legalize the possession of marijuana for personal use and allow the sale to residents over the age of 21.

Ben Meiselas, one of the three Meiselas brothers who founded the White House-linked MeidasTouch Network responsible for the “bloodbath” hoax among others, started his career by interning for Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, the hip hop mogul now under investigation for allegedly running a Jeffrey Epstein-style sex trafficking operation.
Combs, also known as ‘Puff Daddy’ and ‘P. Diddy’, is a longtime client of the Meiselas brothers’ father, Kenny Meiselas, a celebrity attorney who has also represented the likes of Lady Gaga, Lizzo, and Nicki Minaj.
Through this nepotistic connection, Ben Meiselas gained an internship at Combs’s Bad Boy Records, though he claimed in a 2018 interview that he “started at the bottom.”
“I was the first one to get in every morning, and he would send me on every possible errand. I’d be helping his assistants get ready for an event and I’d hear things like ‘That’s not the Diddy spoon!’” Meiselas said, adding that the experience taught him “to be a perfectionist and gave me insight into leadership.”
The internship with Combs, who attended Meiselas’s bar mitzvah, ultimately gave Meiselas his “entrée into politics,” according to Variety.
“In 2004 Puff led the ‘Vote or Die’ [voter-registration and awareness] campaign at MTV, and my role morphed from intern-gopher to working with his team on those events,” Meiselas explained. “I attended the Democratic convention that year, and through it all I developed a real love for politics.”
Meiselas went on to intern for then-Senator Hillary Clinton.

TruthSocial, the social media platform launched by former President Donald Trump, went public last week, sending waves through the stock market as its value soared, poising Trump to reap a potential $5 billion windfall. What the anti-Trump establishment has missed, however, is that the stock is more than just an investment for supporters of the former President — pumping its value is also a political statement.
“It’s mainly to support Trump and his legal battles. Or making a statement,” said Teri Lynn Roberson in a recent interview. Roberson, a Trump supporter from Dallas, Texas, explained: “It’s more just to show that people are supporting him.” As the 2024 presidential election kicks into full swing, former President Trump could cash in a portion of his shares for hundreds of millions of dollars to fuel his campaign war chest.
The potential for Trump to harness TruthSocial as a source of campaign dollars is something the Washington, D.C. political elite hadn’t previously considered. “Almost no one saw it coming,” declaredThe Wall Street Journal. Corporate media talking heads derided the company and its investors when TruthSocial went public last Tuesday. Jessica Tarlov, a Democrat strategist, sarcastically declared during an appearance on Fox News’s The Five, “Donald Trump gets really lucky.”
Former New York Assistant Attorney General Adam Pollock told CNN that the value of TruthSocial “is essentially worthless.” The Late Show host Stephen Colbert dedicated his opening monologue to Trump’s massive windfall. “Why do good things ever happen to Donald Trump,” Colbert pondered before concluding: “He made over $4 billion misspelling things on the toilet!”
However, the political value of TruthSocial hasn’t been lost on everyone. Matt Simpson, managing partner at Wealthspring Capital, toldThe Wall Street Journal that “[Trump’s] the ultimate winner, at least on paper.”

The impeachment of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas is set to move to the U.S. Senate next month for the trial phase when members of the chamber will decide whether to acquit or remove the Biden government official. This week, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) announced he would transmit the articles of impeachment to the upper legislative chamber on April 10, setting the stage for Mayorkas’s trial to begin when the Senate returns from its Easter break. In response, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said Senators will be sworn in and the trial will begin on April 11.
HOW SENATE TRIALS WORK.
Senate Democrats, who control the chamber’s majority, are unlikely to break rank and provide the votes to reach the two-thirds threshold needed to convict and remove President Joe Biden’s Homeland Security Secretary. They may, however, be unable to dismiss the charges outright. If Sen. Schumer is unable to dispense with the charges against Mayorkas quickly, he will likely use his discretionary powers to avoid holding a full trial, which could drag out for weeks.
Under Rule XI, for example, the House impeachment managers — who act as prosecutors — would present their case to an appointed committee of Senators from both parties rather than the full Senate itself. After concluding their investigation of the evidence and charges, the committee members would produce a transcript of their hearings and make a recommendation to the full Senate.
This trial-by-committee process has only been used four times since its inception in 1934. Once in 1986 for the impeachment of U.S. District Court Judge Harry E. Claiborne; twice in 1989 for judges Alcee Hastings and Walter Nixon, Jr.; and in 2010 for U.S. District Court Judge G. Thomas Porteous, Jr. All four impeachment trials resulted in removal from office.
Whether the Senate chooses to hold a full trial or use a Rule XI committee is unlikely to have much impact on the final outcome of the Mayorkas impeachment. Sen. Schumer has made it clear he believes the House articles of impeachment are a “sham” and argued on Thursday that “House Republicans failed to present any evidence of anything resembling an impeachable offense.”
FOREGONE CONCLUSION?
Schumer’s efforts to expedite the Senate trial are likely to be aided by some Senate Republicans who view the impeachment as a futile distraction. “It’ll be dead on arrival when it comes over,” Sen. James Lankford said after the House voted to impeach Mayorkas in February. He added that regardless of whether Mayorkas is removed from office, the Biden government’s lack of border enforcement would remain unchanged. Sen. Kevin Cramer (R-ND) called the articles the “dumbest exercise and use of time.”
Sens. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Mike Lee (R-UT), on the other hand, have been meeting with the Senate Parliamentarian, Elizabeth MacDonough, to head off any attempt by Senate Democrats to merely hold a majority vote to dismiss the charges against Mayorkas. In late February, the two conservative Republicans urgedoutgoing Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) to clarify the Republican leadership position and ensure a full trial is held. Several days later, the Republican leader backed holding a full trial, telling the press it “would be the best way to go forward.”
Even if McConnell and Republican Senate leadership whip members against a vote to dismiss the charges, it is unlikely they could prevent the Senate Democrats from holding an expedited trial by establishing a Rule XI committee. And with conviction and removal requiring an affirmative vote of two-thirds of the Senate, it is even more unlikely that the divided Senate Republicans can mount an effort to push their Democrat colleagues into a vote to oust Secretary Mayorkas.

President Joe Biden has proclaimed March 31, 2024, Easter Sunday, as America’s “Transgender Day of Visibility.” The proclamation insists upon the importance of understanding and acceptance for transgender people, whilst blasting “extremists” who are “proposing hundreds of hateful laws that target and terrify transgender kids and their families.”
The proclamation and its inherently immoral rhetoric also appear intentionally designed to offend Christians on Easter Sunday, leading to a backlash on socialmedia.

The Biden White House also recently banned Christian symbols for the traditional Easter Egg hunt.
“You are America, and my entire Administration and I have your back,” the President’s lengthy proclamation reads.
Joe Biden has consistently claimed to be Catholic, though most Americans appear to doubt his faith. Earlier this month, a Pew Research poll revealed that a mere 13 percent of Americans view Biden as very religious. On the other hand, 41 percent believe he is somewhat religious. Notably, 44 percent think he lacks substantial religious conviction.

At President Joe Biden‘s fancy fundraiser in New York City, guests were made to present a valid form of photo ID to enter. Instructions received by guests note the name on their ID must match the name printed on their ticket. The identification and name-match requirements contrast with the Democrat Party’s opposition to similar requirements in U.S. elections.
Republican state lawmakers across the country have pushed for strong voter ID laws, ballot custody restrictions, and name-match requirements for years. They contend that these measures are critical to reducing instances of electionfraud. The issue became especially prevalent after the 2020 presidential election when questions of ballot integrity in several states lingered. While national Democrats have dismissed Republican concerns as ‘unfounded,’ there have been several instances of Democrat politicians and activists facing prosecution for election fraud in subsequent contests since 2020.
NUMEROUS FRAUD PROSECUTIONS.
In Washington, D.C., a local Democrat elected official received a $500 fine for committing voter fraud during the 2020 election – voting in both the District of Columbia and the State of Maryland. Two New Jersey Democrats were indicted by the state’s Attorney General for multiple instances of election fraud in elections held in 2020 and 2021. Another former New Jersey Democrat party official was indicted for election fraud this past February relating to a mail-in-ballot scheme.
The results of a local run-off election for sheriff were voided by a Louisiana judge after serious evidence of the election was uncovered. Democrat Henry Whitehorn appeared to have narrowly defeated Republican Republican John Nickelson by a single vote; however, at least eleven ballots were shown to have been cast fraudulently. Whitehorn subsequently won the do-over election.
One of the most concerning instances of fraud has been the ongoing drama surrounding the mayor’s race in Bridgeport, Connecticut — which will now be held a third time after the initial two elections were voided due to fraud.
VOTERS SUPPORT ID REQUIREMENT.
Meanwhile, survey data from Pew Research shows that voters overwhelmingly support election integrity measures. A massive 81 percent of respondents said they favor requiring people to show government-issued photo identification to vote, and 82 percent said they favor requiring paper ballot backups for electronic voting machines. Seventy-two percent of those polled said they were in favor of making Election Day a national holiday, while 76 percent say early voting should be available for two weeks prior to Election Day.

House Speaker Mike Johnson has formally notified Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) that he will transmit the articles of impeachment for Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on April 10. The House Speaker encouraged the Democrat Senate leader to promptly hold a trial for Mayorkas, whom the House of Representatives impeached in mid-February.
“We call upon you to fulfill your constitutional obligation to hold this trial. The American people demand a secure border, an end to this crisis, and accountability fwilor those responsible,” Johnson’s letter concludes. “To table articles of impeachment without ever hearing a single argument or reviewing a piece of evidence would be a violation of our constitutional order and an affront to the American people whom we all serve.”
Senate Democrats have signaled they may table the impeachment articles without a final up-or-down vote. The move, Sen. Schumer appears to believe, would help protect several vulnerable Democrat Senators who are up for re-election this November, including Sens. Sherrod Brown (D-OH), Jon Tester (D-MT), Tammy Baldwin (D-WI), Jacky Rosen (D-NV), and Bob Casey (D-PA). Immigration and the ongoing border crisis have become a top campaign issue this election cycle.
