Houston Car-Theft Ring Tied to Mexican Terrorist Drug Cartel​

Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez posted photos on X showing the chop-shop operations located on Leago, Yale, and Gulf Bank streets. The auto-theft ring has “possible ties to a cartel,” the sheriff stated.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials were more direct in tying the operation, run by three Mexican nationals to the narco-terrorist organization Cartel Jalisco New Generation, according to a report by the New York Post. ICE officials identified the ring leaders as Edgar Bravo, Jesus Gutierrez-Escamilla and Bernando Fernandez-Pereyda.

The New York Post stated that Gutierrez-Escamilla entered the U.S. illegally more than 12 years ago. He has had frequent contact with law enforcement during the interim, but has never been turned over to ICE for removal. Fernandez-Pereyda also entered the U.S. illegally in March 2023, according to Border Patrol reports, the article states.

Promise-Breaking IRS​

At the time, I voiced skepticism: Correspondence audits and other audits on low- and middle-income earners are simply the easiest to conduct. The IRS has historically spent an awful lot of time targeting these groups, not monied tax dodgers who can hire teams of accountants, so why would this time be different?

Vindicated: "The Internal Revenue Service got an audit of its own in time for Tax Day, and two irregularities jump out," reports The Wall Street Journal, having labored through the latest Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA) reports. "President Biden's plan to hire a new army of tax collectors is falling flat, and the agents already at work are targeting the middle class."

"As of last summer, 63% of new audits targeted taxpayers with income of less than $200,000," reports the Journal. "Only a small overall share reached the very highest earners, while 80% of audits covered filers earning less than $1 million."

Compare these real-world outcomes with the assurances of the IRS, given less than two years ago.

Empty assurances: "These resources are absolutely not about increasing audit scrutiny on small businesses or middle-income Americans. As we've been planning, our investment of these enforcement resources is designed around the Department of the Treasury's directive that audit rates will not rise relative to recent years for households making under $400,000," wrote IRS commissioner Charles Rettig in an August 2022 letter to concerned senators.

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen was a bit sassier. "Contrary to the misinformation from opponents of this legislation, small business or households earning $400,000 per year or less will not see an increase in the chances that they are audited," she wrote in a letter to Rettig.

Biden To Force Jewish-Made Products From Israel To Be Labeled: Report​

President Joe Biden is reportedly preparing to force Jewish made products from Judea and Samaria to be clearly labeled so consumers know where the products are from — a clear sign that the administration wants to enable boycotts.

The Financial Times reported that the timing of the new policy is unknown at this point and that it is designed to “increase pressure on Israel” over what Palestinians claim is violence from Israelis who live in Judea and Samaria.

Many expressed outrage over the move from Biden, noting that it was close to a full-on endorsement of the global anti-Semitic Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions campaign to that was created to destroy the state of Israel.

“Next on the Biden Admin’s anti-Israel agenda is to take more steps facilitating discriminatory and anti-semitic BDS against Israel,” said David Milstein, Special Assistant to U.S. Amb. to Israel David M. Friedman.

Political commentator Stephen L. Miller posted on X: “Perhaps the label can be yellow, and in a starry like shape even, so it’s bright and distinguishable.”

Biggest Corporate Welfare Scam of All Time​

President Joe Biden keeps lecturing corporate America to "pay your fair share" of taxes. It turns out he's right that some companies really are getting away scot-free from paying taxes.

But it isn't Big Tech companies in Silicon Valley or the Wall Street financial company "fat cats" or big banks or Walmart. They pay billions in taxes.

The culprits here are the very companies that Biden is in bed with: green energy firms.

It turns out that despite all the promises over the past decade about how renewable energy is the future of power production in America, by far the biggest tax dodgers in the country are the wind and solar power industries. Over the past several decades, the green energy lobby -- what I call the climate-change-industrial complex -- isn't paying its fair share. That's because the vast majority of these companies pay nearly ZERO income taxes.

But they wade in rivers of federal direct and indirect subsidies that keep these zombie companies alive. Over the past two decades, the renewable energy lobby has collected more than one-quarter trillion dollars in subsidies -- payments that we've been assured over and over would be temporary. The argument for these grants, loans, tax abatements and other sweetheart kisses is that these were "infant industries" in need of a Head Start program for CEOs. Except these companies have never even reached puberty after all these years.

Republicans demand the Biden administration explain an 'outrageous' $37.7 million fine imposed on a Christian university and accuse the Education Department of 'inappropriately targeting' the country's largest Christian school​

• Grand Canyon University was fined millions for allegedly lying to students about the price of its doctoral programs, according to the Department of Education
• But the eye watering $37.7 million fine appears to be politically motivated, Republicans argue
• Four GOP members sent a letter Monday to the federal agency demanding 'evidence' of the school's crimes

House Republicans demand to know why the largest Christian school in the U.S. was slapped with a steep $37.7 million fine by the Biden administration.

They say the massive fine may based on 'political animus' and a tool of government weaponization being used by Biden's federal agency.
Grand Canyon University (GCU), the nation's largest Christian school, was allegedly fined for lying to 7,500 students about the cost of doctoral degrees in October 2023 to boost enrollment, according to the agency.

But GCU has denied the charges and is currently appealing the decision.

Four House GOP members, led by Rep. Andy Biggs, R-Ariz., sent a letter to the Department of Education Monday demanding an explanation for the enormous penalty.

The lawmakers - all from Arizona where the university is based - want to see the 'evidence' that the department has compiled to levy such an 'outrageous fine.'

McCabe Says Joe Biden Didn’t Go Far Enough Threatening MAGA Republicans

“MAGA Republicans do not respect the Constitution, they do not believe in the rule of law … They promote authoritarian leaders and they fan the flames of political violence,” said Biden.

“Too much of what’s happening in our country today is not normal. Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our Republic,” Biden said.

This wasn’t enough red meat for the rabid former FBI Deputy Director who got fired for lying to federal investigators.

Andrew McCabe Acknowledges ‘Mistakes’ In Trump Campaign Investigation As He Pushes Warrantless Surveillance Tool​

The FBI used a document containing opposition research on Trump to earn approval from a secret court that oversees the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) to secretly monitor campaign aide Carter Page, according to CNN. The House of Representatives on Wednesday blocked a bill to reauthorize Section 702 of FISA, with April 19 being the deadline to do so, but McCabe on “CNN Newsroom With Jim Acosta” advocated to renew it while admitting the act has led to misuse.

“KILL FISA, IT WAS ILLEGALLY USED AGAINST ME, AND MANY OTHERS. THEY SPIED ON MY CAMPAIGN!!! DJT,” Trump posted on Truth social Wednesday.

“Donald Trump is really confusing the issue. FISA is a big law. It has a lot of different sections. Part of it is used against people here in the United States,” McCabe told host Jim Acosta. “You go to the court for a warrant to enable you to do electronic surveillance. That’s not what we’re talking about. Section 702 is only used to capture the communications when people meet three criteria. You have to be a foreign person in a foreign place and the purpose of the collection has to be to get foreign intelligence. It is our primary vision into what terrorists, spies and people who use weapons of mass destruction and nation states that use cyber tools against us, what they’re doing overseas.”

More from Fox News:

The Biden administration's new State Department diversity chief previously called America a "failed historic model" and demanded the destruction of tradition "at every juncture" on the altar of antiracism.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced last week the appointment of Zakiya Carr Johnson as their chief diversity and inclusion officer. Blinken touted Carr Johnson for bringing "expertise and a fresh perspective on how we build a workforce that reflects America."
Carr Johnson previously served as then-President Barack Obama's senior adviser and director of the first Race, Ethnicity and Social Inclusion Unit at the State Department.

Another Obama holdover hellbent on destroying this country.

The job of the State Department is to promote and represent the United States. Calling it a 'failed historic model' and calling for its destruction seems antithetical to that purpose.

Unless that is the purpose of the State Department now: destroying the country.

Here's How We Know the U.S. Military Is VERY Worried About WWIII After Iran's Attack on Israel

pjmedia.com

After the missile and drone attack launched by Iran against Israel on Saturday, one can assume the Pentagon is concerned about an expansion of this hot war. The question of how much Joe Biden and his puppet master, Barack Obama, care remains unanswered, however (where is that Rashid Khalidi tape anyway, LA Times?).

Biden's persistent undermining of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the president's political left flank calling for Bibi's ouster during a war have been politically punctilious, outrageous, and deflating. They telegraph the administration's antipathy toward the Israeli leader and desire for him to fail in his country's quest for survival.

After all this, you can understand why many question Biden's alleged "ironclad" support of the Jewish state.

Iranian influence network members scored 10 Biden White House visits​

At least three reported members of a covert Iranian government-controlled influence network visited the Biden White House on numerous occasions for meetings with senior U.S. officials, records show.

The trio, Dina Esfandiary and Ali Vaez of the global International Crisis Group think tank, plus now-Pentagon official Ariane Tabatabai, was outed through the release of leaked Iranian government emails last year as being linked to a network called the Iran Experts Initiative, a project of Iran’s foreign ministry that helped push Tehran talking points in the United States and Europe.

According to a Washington Examiner review of White House visitor logs, Esfandiary, Vaez, and Tabatabai headed to the White House a combined 10 times between April 2022 and December 2023 — a fact that foreign policy experts, watchdog groups, and congressional sources say shows the Biden administration has granted those with concerning Iran ties apparent access to the halls of power.

Esfandiary, Vaez, and Tabatabai share connections to Robert Malley, President Joe Biden‘s special envoy to Iran who was placed on unpaid leave in June of last year amid a federal investigation into his handling of classified information, Semafor reported. Malley, who saw his security clearance revoked, was the Obama administration’s lead negotiator in 2015 for the heavily scrutinized Iran nuclear deal that waived sanctions for Iran — the leading state sponsor of terrorism.

Malley, until 2021, led the International Crisis Group, the think tank that counts Vaez and Esfandiary as senior advisers. Tabatabai was a diplomat for a period on the Malley-led Iran nuclear negotiations team upon Biden taking office that year.

“There’s two things that are problematic here,” said Richard Goldberg, an ex-White House National Security Council member who worked on the Iran portfolio.

“One, it’s troubling that people with a track record of being very close to the regime and potentially sympathetic to the regime in Tehran have open-door access to the administration,” Goldberg, now a senior adviser to the Foundation for Defense of Democracies think tank, told the Washington Examiner. “Two, it’s even more troubling that, to this day, we have no answers on the Malley investigation and where it’s leading.”

The World Is Paying A Deadly Price For Barack Obama’s Foreign Policy Legacy​

If a belligerent state launched 186 explosive drones, 36 cruise missiles, and 110 surface-to-surface missiles from three fronts against civilian targets within the United States, would Joe Biden call it a “win”?

Would the president tell us that the best thing we can do now is show “restraint”? What if that same terror state’s proxy armies had recently helped murder, rape, and kidnap more than 1,000 American men, women, and children? What if this terror state were trying to obtain nuclear weapons so it could continue to agitate without any consequences?

This is what Joe Biden and the Barack Obama acolytes, Iranian dupes, and Israel antagonists he’s surrounded himself with demand of Jewish State.

And by “Iranian dupes,” I don’t only mean the Jake Sullivans and Antony Blinkens of the world, who worked to elevate the mullahs over Sunni allies and the Israelis, or even a Hamas-bestie like Rob Malley or Israel-hater like Maher Bitar. I mean assets of the Islamic State who promised the Iranian government to help out in any way possible.

Their worldview is a cancer that’s metastasized within the Democratic Party. To these people, Israel will always be the villain. And if the Iranian regime’s murder of more than 600 American servicemen couldn’t cool that bromance, 1,300 dead Jews certainly aren’t going to do the trick.

Biden's aides call Donald Trump 'Hitler pig': Cruel nickname is revealed in staffers' text messages following reports he dozed off in courtroom​

• 'Hitler Pig sleepy' was what one person allegedly captioned Maggie Haberman's comments on Trump's appearance in court Monday
• It was reported that several of the current president's younger staffers and other Democrats close to Biden use the moniker for Trump

Multiple aides working for President Joe Biden allegedly have a nasty name for their boss' opponent, former President Donald Trump.

It was reported that several of the current president's younger staffers and other Democrats close to Biden use the nickname 'Hitler Pig' for Trump.

A staffer referenced the nickname when reporter Maggie Haberman accused Trump of sleeping at his trial in New York City Monday.
'Hitler Pig sleepy' was what one person allegedly captioned the New York Times reporter's comments to CNN Monday.

At least four staffers anonymously confirmed to Politico that this is the nickname some staffers use for Trump.

The nickname of 'Hitler Pig' was initially sparked when the former president invited Nick Fuentes - a professed white nationalist and anti-Semite - was invited to dinner at Mar-a-Lago with Kanye West.

Whenever Trump makes headlines, the younger staffers will allegedly text one another: 'Hey, did you see what Hitler Pig said?'

'Joe Biden talks a lot about decency, but he and his staff don't have a decent bone in their bodies,' Brian Hughes, a senior campaign adviser to Trump, said in a statement.

'These ridiculous and gross comments reflect the failure and dishonesty of the entire Biden operation.'

Mass Deportations Would Lower Housing Prices​

This is a depressing state of affairs and a potentially explosive one. The bifurcation of economic status in America along distinct age lines bodes ill for the wealthy elderly, who make up America’s dominant political class.

It is very easy to see how a future recession could lead to revolutionary populism from both the left and the right. My advice to America’s rulers is simple: head this problem off before it gets to that point.

There is an easy solution lying right before you—mass deportations.

The flood of immigrants into America means higher home prices and lower wages. Again, this is basic supply and demand. The more people there are in the country, the more housing they need. The more workers there are competing for the same jobs, the lower the wages.

Mass deportations of illegal and legal immigrants alike would go a long way toward securing economic prosperity for actual American citizens.

Since 1965, the year the Hart Celler Act passed, some 75+ million foreigners (and their children) have poured into America. If that immigration had never happened, there would be only 270 million or so Americans in the country today. That would mean a much less congested country for the rest of us.

The idea that a nation needs lots of immigrants for economic growth is absurd. Native-born Americans have long been the most productive part of the nation. That is why there is such a rush of third-worlders to try and get into our borders. They need us more than we need them. It is an imbalance that Americans should take advantage of.
