Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas has revealed more than 600,000 “gotaways” – migrants who evade the authorities after illegally entering the United States – were recorded at the southern border in fiscal year 2023.
Mayorkas was responding to an inquiry launched by Senator Roger Marshall (R-KS) at a Senate Homeland Security Committee hearing on Tuesday, with the Secretary admitting the “phenomenon of gotaways has been a challenge for the Department of Homeland Security for decades.”
“In fact, it is a powerful example of a broken immigration system,” Mayorkas conceded.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) registered a record 2.4 million migrants in fiscal 2023, with September seeing the highest recorded monthly figure at over 269,000. Additionally, a record number of individuals on the terror watch list were detected at the southern border.
Over ten million illegal migrants have crossed the southern border under the Biden regime, once the total number of gotaways is included, representing the largest amount in U.S. history.
More than 900,000 migrants were released by the CBP just this year.

President Joe Biden received a $40,000 check from his brother James as a “loan repayment” that was potentially sent by a Chinese Community Party (CCP)-linked company through a financial chain involving several members of the Biden family, according to new evidence unearthed by the House Oversight and Accountability Committee on Wednesday.
Hunter Biden initially demanded $10 million from an associate called Raymond Zhao, who had ties to the CCP and the now-bankrupt CEFC China Energy in 2017, explains House Oversight Committee chair James Comer.
Whereupon Northern International Capital, a Chinese company linked to CEFC, wired $5 million to a joint venture created by Zhao and Hunter Biden called Hudson West III. The joint venture then transferred $400,000 to Owasco P.C., owned by Hunter.
Hunter’s company Owasco, thereafter sent another $150,000 to Lion Hall Group, owned by James Biden. James’ wife Sara then withdrew $50,000 in cash, which was then deposited in the couple’s own bank account.
Several days later, $40,000 was sent to Joe Biden as a “loan repayment.”
“It’s certainly plausible that this payment where James and Sara used funds from China was indeed a loan repayment to Joe,” Comer stated.
“But even if this $40,000 check was a loan repayment from James Biden, it still shows how Joe benefited from his family cashing in on his name – with money from China no less,” he explained.

Former President Donald Trump has proposed the creation of a new university called the “American Academy,” which would award free online degrees in an effort to combat the rapid spread of “wokeness [and] jihadism” on college campuses across the United States.
“We spend more money on higher education than any other country and yet, they’re turning our students into communists and terrorists and sympathizers of many, many different dimensions… We can’t let this happen,” the 45th President argued in a video introducing the idea.
The university would target millions of Americans who did not complete their degrees and use their credentials to apply for various positions in the government or federal contractors. The institution would give credit for past work or essays as well as allow students to finish their studies for free.
The academy would receive funding from recipients of large endowments as well as fining and suing wealthy colleges such as Harvard, reports suggest.
“It’s a contrast with Joe Biden’s plan for free college, which is to essentially wipe out hundreds of billions of dollars of student loan debt. This is a different way,” said one Trump campaign official, who added, “We need to have affordable options for college without spending trillions and trillions of dollars.”

Anheuser-Busch, the parent company of Bud Light, is implementing a share buyback clause for the first time in the company’s history, which will hand its shareholders $1 billion in a desperate attempt to restore confidence in the brand.
The buyback will take place over the next 12 months and begin “immediately,” according to the company’s CFO Fernando Tennenbaum, who announced the decision on a call with investors.
The move follows a financially poor third quarter for the company. Anheuser-Busch reported a collapse in U.S. revenue by 13 percent as well as drops in sales to wholesalers by 17.6 percent and to retailers by 16.6 percent. Beer volumes similarly dropped by four percent.
The company has made numerous revamp attempts following its decision to promote Bud Light using transgender woman Dylan Mulvaney earlier this year – a stunt that cost the brand upwards of $27 billion. The latest attempt came in October after it announced a partnership with UFC.

Hunter Biden has lashed out at former White House Chief Strategist Steve Bannon as well as former Mayor of New York Rudy Giuliani, claiming they used his crack and alcohol addiction as a “vile and sustained disinformation campaign”. The comments come in a new op-ed for USA Today, where Biden junior asserts: “I am not a victim. By any standard, I grew up with privilege and opportunity, and fully accept that the choices and mistakes I made are mine, and I am accountable for them and will continue to be.”
In the same op-ed, however, Hunter portrays himself as a victim of Bannon, Giuliani, and others, moaning: “My addiction doesn’t justify Steve Bannon and Guo Wengui posting altered nude photos of me with ‘editorial creativity over the pictures'”, adding, “My addiction shouldn’t permit the likes of Rudy Giuliani or a former Peter Navarro aide to debase and dehumanize me for their own gains.”
Hunter Biden, who admits to having had a bottle of vodka every day while taking as “many hits” on a crack pipe as possible, suggests his so-called struggles and mistakes becoming public knowledge have led to an “all-out annihilation” of his reputation caused by those who reported on his laptop and its contents.
“After what I have gone through since my brother died in 2015, and the perpetual public humiliation of me, I am now certain I can survive anything (except a drink or a drug),” Hunter concludes, utilizing the same tactic that his father Joe uses, in bringing up the death of Beau Biden at every given opportunity in order to deflect from legitimate criticism.
The White House recently claimed that Joe was on Hunter’s business calls – despite the President initially denying such incidents – because of Beau’s death.

Roadside billboards reading “Florida is Trump Country” are popping up around the Orlando, Florida area ahead of the Florida Freedom Summit, urging Ron DeSantis to drop his long-shot bid for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination and demanding the recently re-elected Governor spend more than just a third of his time in the state.
“With Florida Republican presidential primary polling showing former President Donald Trump leading Governor Ron DeSantis by a 36 percentage point margin- it is as clear today as it was in May that Donald Trump is the Sunshine State’s pick to be America’s next president,” the group behind the ads, Florida Forged, said in a statement.”
“But instead of dropping out and joining the overwhelming majority of his constituents behind the former President, Governor DeSantis has opted to spend more than 33.7% or 101 days of his second term out of state on the dole, abandoning Floridians now paying 900% more for insurance and billions more in new state taxes”.
“With Governor DeSantis thinking he’s earned a promotion for part-time work in a full-time job, it’s time Floridians reminded the governor that “Florida is Trump Country,” and will deliver the former President its full slate of 125 delegates on March 19th, 2024.”
PRESS RELEASE: @FloridaForged announces Freedom Summit billboard buy to remind @GovRonDeSantis: "Florida is Trump country."
"…it is as clear today as it was in May that @realdonaldtrump is the Sunshine State’s pick to be America’s next president.
A run of presidential primary polls in late-October show former President Donald Trump maintaining his near-insurmountable lead over the rest of the Republican field. Nikki Haley, meanwhile, has caught DeSantis for second place in both national polling and – most critically – in Iowa. Conducted from October 22nd to 26th, a national McLaughlin shows Haley and DeSantis tied at 8 percent – former President Trump, sitting in first place, holds a 47-point lead over both. An Iowa caucus poll from top-tier pollster Ann Selzer shows Trump capturing 43-percent of Republican caucus goers, while Haley and DeSantis again tie for a distant second.

Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) is pushing legislation that would reverse the Supreme Court case Citizens United v. FEC. “My goal is to get corporate money out of our politics,” the Missouri Republican said in an interview. Hawley says the unchecked corporate influence over politics and elections as a detriment to both American workers and democracy.
His legislation would return some aspects of campaign finance law to a quasi pre-Citizens United state. Publicly traded companies would be barred from engaging in political activities like making independent expenditures and contributing to SuperPACs. Non-profit organizations would not be impacted.
The wild west of campaign finance law created by the Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision in 2010 has allowed corporations to inject themselves into into more than just electoral politics. It is this aspect of political spending that has especially animated Hawley’s push to rein the decision in, with the Senator asserting that corporate political giving has moved beyond just backing candidates, and into backing pet liberal issues. Corporations “now want to dictate voting laws in the states” and “…dictate rules on biological men playing women’s sports,” he said.
Hawley’s biggest critique of Citizens United is that it has allowed a dangerous union of corporate and progressive money to coalesce into a Democrat dark money operation that dominates U.S. politics. Progressive groups like Arabella Advisors have been able to transform non-profits into clearing houses for individual and corporate cash and funneled that money into radical left-wing causes.
While Hawley’s legislation may garner support among political populists and some Senate Democrats, it is unlikely to receive enough support in either legislative body of Congress to reach President Joe Biden’s desk. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) tore into Sen. Hawley during a meeting of Senate Republicans on Tuesday. Corporate-backed McConnell warned colleagues that anyone who backed the effort to rollback Citizens United would receive blowback from the political right.

The number of American households classed as “food insecure” – that is, unable to meet the cost of feeding themselves on a reliable basis – is soaring at its sharpest rate since the financial crash under Joe Biden, having reached its lowest level in decades under Donald Trump.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Economics Research Service has reported the number of food insecure households in 2022 at 12.8 percent – “significantly higher than the 10.2 percent in 2021 and the 10.5 percent in 2020” – including 5.1 percent with “very low food security.”
The figures are even worse for households with children under 18, with their food insecurity rate rising to 17.3 percent – around 6.4 million American families.
High inflation under Joe Biden is obviously playing a major role in the crisis, with Lisa Davis of poverty-focused nonprofit Share Our Strength observing: “If you don’t pay the rent or your mortgage, you don’t have a place to live. If you don’t put gas in the car, you can’t get to work. Food is the place that folks turn when they have to tighten the belt even more.”

On day two of the case deciding whether to kick Donald trump off of the Colorado ballot, the Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington’s (CREW) legal team brought their star witness to the stand – sociologist and witness-for-hire Dr. Peter Simi. An associate professor at Chapman University, Simi is a purported expert on extremist groups and political violence – boasting an over 20-year career studying the subjects.
When he’s not in the classroom – or living amongst Neo Nazis for research – Simi moonlights as a paid witness in cases that involve instances of ‘right-wing extremism’ and is a go-to quote for several corporate media outlets. According to Simi himself, he is being paid $35,000 for his testimony – and has a rate of $300 an hour as an “expert”. Simi was previously a paid witness for the Unite the Right trial over the death of Heather Heyer at the hands of white supremacist James Fields.
Testimony from Prof. Simi dominated the second day of the Colorado Trump ballot case, as the CREW-backed legal team guided the sociologist though almost three hours of testimony before cross-examination. According to Simi, former President Donald Trump had formed a political bond with right-wing extremists from the very start of his entry into politics as he “spoke their language” and wasn’t afraid to support “conspiracy theories” such as “birtherism” – the idea that Barack Obama was born outside of America and was therefore ineligible to become President. Simi also claimed that invoking the year 1776 or displaying the Betsy Ross Flag could indicate an individual is affiliated with right-wing extremism.
During his testimony, Simi insinuated that Republican politicians – not Democrats however – who reference stolen elections or corrupt elections were sending signals to extremist groups to engage in political violence. The Chapman professor also insisted that Trump’s condemnation of the violence during the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia was in fact an example of “double speak”, wherein Trump actually signaled support for extremists and they understood his need for creating “plausible deniability”.
Under cross examination from Scott Gessler – a member of former President Trump’s legal team – Simi’s testimony was exposed as being more conjecture and opinion than fact. Earlier in the day, Simi asserted that Trump driving his motorcade by the Million MAGA March was a signal to extremists in attendance to engage in violence. When pressed by Gessler, he admitted he was in fact not present for the march, and despite claiming that documents showed it was “Proud Boys” who instigated violence against Antifa, Simi had not included such documents in his expert report to the court.
Gessler honed in on Simi’s use of terms like “double speak”, humorously comparing the idea to the “So you’re telling me there’s a chance” scene from the popular comedy movie Dumb and Dumber where Jim Carrey’s character is unable to take the hint that his love interest isn’t all that in to him. Gessler repeatedly illustrated how Simi appeared to engineer desired conclusions through the selective use of data. Ultimately, the Chapman professor admitted he had no material evidence that Trump intended or proactively called for political violence in his speeches and rallies.

The leftist media meltdown over Christian conservative Mike Johnson replacing Kevin McCarthy as Speaker of the House of Representatives is intensifying, with Salon.com claiming his ascension is symbolic of “the incel-ization of the modern GOP”.
An “incel” is an involuntary celibate, i.e. a person incapable of finding a sexual partner. Speaker Johnson is accused of harboring “strong incel energy” not because this appears to an issue for him – he is married with four children – but because he subscribes to Christian teaching on sexual morality, which Salon’s Amanda Marcotte characterizes as “the politics of bitter sexual obsession”.
Johnson, Salon complains, once described same-sex marriage as “the dark harbinger of chaos and sexual anarchy that could doom even the strongest republic,” adding “If only it were that exciting!” and accusing him of bigotry:
Johnson is also accused of being an incel because he opposes abortion, with Salon taking particular umbrage with his 2016 observation that “[w]hen you break up the nuclear family, when you tell a generation of people that life has no value, no meaning, that it’s expendable, then you do wind up with school shooters.”
Johnson, for his part, has stood by all his past remarks, saying he “genuinely love[s] all people regardless of their lifestyle choices” and urging critics: “Go pick up a Bible off your shelf and read it – that’s my worldview. That’s what I believe, so I do not apologize for it.”
