[Burning Platform] Americans had better act soon, with or without Congress and with or without the Border Patrol to stop the current flood of illegal invaders across our Southern Border, because the Biden regime has no intention of ever stopping the invasion. To wait and ponder the crisis in the hopes that Donald Trump can stop it, if he wins the presidency, only ensures that millions more will cross, in addition to the twenty-seven million that have already entered the country, during Biden’s presidency — those which were detained at the border and the got-aways; and, intentionally or not, it makes America unsafe and sets in motion the Great Replacement, the replacement of white people and the virtues and principles of freedom and liberty with people of color who are already prone and predisposed to accepting big government controls, e.g. Marxism and Maoism, and the idea that all things come from government rather than individual initiative and independence. To do nothing and remain apathetic or complacent ensures the destruction of traditional America.
One should recall that a 2018 study by both Yale and MIT suggested 22 million to possibly 40 million illegal aliens were already residing in America. It’s to Trump’s discredit that he didn’t pursue the border security issue forcefully in 2017, when the Republicans held a majority in both houses of Congress, rather than listen to the turncoat RINO Speaker Paul Ryan. In his last year in office, Trump had brought illegal alien entries down to approximately 1100 a day, or less.
Under Joe Biden, the U.S. borders simply no longer exist. His regime’s minions have been ordered to process and parole illegal aliens into America as fast as possibly, virtually waving them on across with little to no scrutiny. And, as a result, we know for a fact that 330 illegals who are on terrorist watch lists have been released into the country, along with the unknown number of potential or actual terrorists within the ranks of the gotaways.
Going all the way back to 1996, Augustin Cebada, radical spokesman for the Brown Berets, militant para-military foot-soldiers of Aztlan [Reconquista] shouted the following declaration, at Americans at an Independence Day rally outside the Federal Building in Westwood, California:
"If anyone’s going to be deported, it’s going to be you! ... Get out! We are the future. You’re old and tired. Go on. We have beaten you — leave like beaten rats. You old white people, it is your duty to die. Right now, we’re already controlling those elections, whether it’s by violence or nonviolence. Through love of having children, we’re going to take over."
Some may actually be coming here to become American citizens and try to live the American Dream, a dream that is crumbling and rapidly disappearing for natural born Americans, thanks to a multitude of bad Biden policies; but the cast majority are not. They simply want to abscond with as much American wealth as they can possibly accumulate while also riding the massive government expenditures of recent programs created to address their invading numbers.
These illegals don’t want to be citizens; they don’t assimilate any more, as they did in days past; they set up shop just as they did in the Old Country and bring the same flawed mindsets that destroyed the nations they have fled.

From Kunstler today: "Imagine: Bitcoin shoots up to a million dollars. You’re a zillionaire! Uh Oh. . . somewhere outside Zaneseville, Ohio, a squirrel takes a final chaw through some old insulation on a wire coming out of a transformer. His head blows up in a blue arc flash, and in a few seconds all the electricity goes out from Chicago to Boston. It turns out that seventeen substations in ten states have blown relays, transformers, and switchgear. Some of those components were forty years old and are now manufactured twelve thousand miles away in a country that doesn’t like us anymore. The replacement parts get held up in a Chinese port. The power doesn’t come back on for weeks. Nobody who lives in the eastern USA can get to his Bitcoin wallet, which is just a virtual entity made of computer code residing in a digital “cloud,” i.e., nowhere real."

[REGNUM] “Seven days of bedlam in Haiti”, “Haiti will soon starve”, “Biden supports the unpopular leader of Haiti and digs the US into a political hole”, this is approximately what the English-language news from the Caribbean has looked like in the last week.
[Zero via Burning Platform] Venture capitalist David Sacks, who also hosts the All-In Podcast, sat down with Saagar Enjeti, a political commentator and podcaster from Breaking Points, to explore President Biden’s failures in Ukraine and Gaza.
Sacks has been a vocal critic of Western propaganda on Ukraine, advocating for a more nuanced understanding of the conflict and opposing NATO expansion to prevent further escalation.
"I was a little bit familiar with the conflict and with the idea that NATO expansion was something that the Russians really didn’t like. And so I started advocating on the All-In Podcast that we should take NATO expansion off the table; it’s clearly a huge irritant here in the situation," Sacks told Enjeti.
Sacks continued, "I realized that this was the result of a deliberate US policy, kind of a neocon policy that either wanted this war or certainly wasn’t willing to avoid it. They weren’t willing to take NATO expansion off the table to avoid the war, so um, so yeah, I just started speaking out about it, I guess, using my channels."
Enjeti asked Sacks what sources he reads to gather intel on the Ukraine situation. He blasted corporate media for "shading the truth or not telling us what was really happening in the war," adding that independent media outlets and certain X users were giving the most accurate information about the conflict.
Sacks then criticized US foreign policy and neoconservatives for making "horrible policy decisions" on Ukraine in what could be the biggest blunder since the Iraq War.
...U.S. Army Vessel (USAV) General Frank S. Besson (LSV-1) from the 7th Transportation Brigade (Expeditionary), 3rd Expeditionary Sustainment Command, XVIII Airborne Corps, departed Joint Base Langley-Eustis en route to the Eastern Mediterranean less than 36 hours after President Biden announced the U.S. would provide humanitarian assistance to Gaza by sea. Besson, a logistics support vessel, is carrying the first equipment to establish a temporary pier to deliver vital humanitarian supplies."
While that all sounds very impressive on TwitterX, CENTCOM left out one tiny detail: it will take the Besson about 60 days to arrive in the Eastern Med and begin assembling the pier.

Bill Johnson from Bethel Church in Redding, California provides insight into the factors contributing to California's fiscal challenges, highlighting the difference in fiscal management between the California Governor and Texas Governor Abbott, who is known for prudent spending in just 2 minutes.
#1
Apportionment of congressional representatives is based up population not citizenship per SCOTUS. California will still have the votes in Congress with a handful of other states that won't balance their big budgets to have Washington bail them out. That means the rest of us will be taxed directly or indirectly through inflation to fund the bail out.
[Restoring America] I’d be lying if I said I didn’t still feel the faintest stir of optimism at the sight of former President Barack Obama’s once-ubiquitous "Hope" poster. Designed by street artist Shepard Fairey, the image of Obama gazing skyward in highly contrasted shadows of blue and red was perfectly suited to the caption, written in bold, blocked lettering: "Hope." New Yorker art critic Peter Schjeldahl called it "the most efficacious American political illustration since ’Uncle Sam Wants You.'"
It’s important to recall just how depressed the country was by the end of former President George W. Bush’s second term. Hurricane Katrina had leveled a beloved city. The Iraq War had become a historic disaster. The housing market had crashed, which ushered in the Great Recession. The nation was starved for a fresh vision and a leader who embodied America’s promise of a harmonious whole emerging from a diverse multitude. Obama, the son of a Kansan and a Kenyan, seemed supernaturally suited to the moment.
I’ll always hold that voting for Obama was a good bet (I pulled the lever for him twice). Political figures with his singular capacity to capture the public imagination don’t appear often. Even my father, a constitutional conservative who hasn’t voted for a Democrat since Walter Mondale, couldn’t hide his excitement when I told him I was attending Obama’s inauguration. "Cheer for Obama, sure," he said wryly, "just don’t cheer for Biden." (He remains the most astute political observer I know.)
There are numerous data points that epitomize Obama’s failure to capitalize on the unprecedented goodwill afforded his political ascendency, from the chaos engulfing the Middle East as a direct result of his policies to the ruination of American manufacturing to the expansion of the surveillance state and drone warfare. But nothing captures the depth of his failure quite like the attenuation of American hope.
A recent Pew poll reveals that a staggering 86% of people now report feeling exhausted or angry about the state of our politics. This was echoed in a recent NBC poll that found 81% of people are confident their children’s lives will be worse than their own. The children don’t feel much better: A recent Harvard study found that two-thirds of young people report feeling more fear than hope about the future of democracy in America.
Obama didn’t simply fail to instill hope in America. He oversaw and managed its precipitous downfall.
#3
The rubes on the left have come to see this epic civilizational decline as a missed opportunity for American socialism and somehow just incompetence.
The rest of us see it as subliminal warfare and sabotage, purposeful, lethal, well executed and organized, and invisible to our outward focused efforts at threat detection, never seeing the subversive brilliance of linking educational transformation with lingering white guilt and a predilection for tolerant dismissal of standards over time.
Once power was fully established, Obama et all salted government and academia with fellow travelers and useful idiots like the avaricious Clintons or the Vegetable-in-Chief and his merry band of amateurish grifters. That past is now prologue unless Trump somehow so landslides the system that they cannot cheat again.
If he does, pray there are hard men/women across a spectrum of our critical infrastructure with the gumption to root out the cancer, with all the caterwauling it will create. Absent that, Franklin's caution remains prescient!
#5
I strongly disliked that Hope poster. So slick and retro, a tabula rasa on which each viewer could paint his or her own idea of what Hope, and therefore the candidate means. It was entirely artificial for the time, everything that was wrong with Mr. Obama as both a candidate and a man.
[Federalist] President Biden has been known to tell some pretty outrageous lies throughout his political career. So, it came as no surprise when Ol’ Sleepy Joe spewed out more than a few whoppers during his State of the Union address on Thursday.
From foreign policy to the economy, there was almost no subject in which the president didn’t lie to the American people. In case you missed his dumpster fire speech, here’s the definitive list of Biden’s biggest SOTU falsehoods.
1. Sending Money To Ukraine
Biden claimed that Republicans who oppose sending additional U.S. taxpayer dollars to Ukraine are doing so because they want America to "walk away from our leadership in the world." That is false. Opponents of endlessly funding Ukraine’s war with Russia have regularly stated that American interests must come before those of other nations.
2. Trump’s NATO Remarks
Biden claimed former President Trump told Vladimir Putin, "Do whatever the hell you want," regarding Russia’s invasion of Eastern Europe. But that’s not accurate.
The former president’s remarks came during a recent South Carolina rally, during which Trump recounted a story from when he was president and speaking with a NATO member. Trump purportedly told this state that he would withhold U.S. support if they didn’t pay their minimum defense spending obligations.
"’You didn’t pay? You’re delinquent?’" Trump recalled telling the unidentified NATO member. "’No, I would not protect you. In fact, I would encourage them to do whatever the hell they want. You gotta pay. You gotta pay your bills.’"
3. World Security And Ukraine
Biden claimed "the free world is at risk" if the U.S. doesn’t ship more American taxpayer dollars to Ukraine. There is literally no evidence to support this assertion.
4. Jan. 6 Demonstrations
The president claimed that the Jan.6, 2021, demonstrations at the U.S. Capitol and concerns and lawsuits regarding the integrity of the 2020 election "posed the gravest threat to [American] democracy since the Civil War."
Contrary to Biden’s claim, the J6 events did not put American self-governance in jeopardy, nor did it expose Americans to risks like those experienced during World War I, the Japanese attacks on Pearl Harbor, or World War II, to name a few.
5. Alabama IVF Issue
Biden falsely contended the Alabama Supreme Court "shut down IVF treatments across the state." That is not what the decision said. As The Federalist’s Jordan Boyd reported, Alabama’s highest court "ruled that embryos are people with inherent value, not legal property."
6. Kate Cox
Biden claimed the life of Kate Cox, a Texas woman who left the Lonestar State to obtain an abortion, was "at risk" during her pregnancy.
As Susan Bane wrote in these pages, Cox’s now-deceased unborn baby was diagnosed with Trisomy 18, "a condition associated with severe developmental delays." These children "can sometimes thrive into their early twenties." Cox was not at risk of dying from the diagnosis, however.
7. Covid Shots And Cancer
Biden falsely claimed the Covid jabs are "now being used to help beat cancer."
8. 15 Million New Jobs
The president regurgitated the lie that his administration has "created 15 million new jobs." That assertion is false, as Biden conflated jobs recovered after Covid lockdowns with actual, new jobs created.
9. U.S. Inflation Rate
Biden claimed the U.S. has "the lowest" inflation rate in the world. Numerous countries currently have a lower inflation rate.
10. Consumer Confidence
The president said that "consumer studies show consumer confidence is soaring." MarketWatch reported last month, however, that the consumer confidence index "fell to 106.7 from a revised 110.9 in January."
11. Drug Prices
Biden said he’s "ending" the trend of Americans paying "more for prescription drugs than anywhere else." That is false, as Reuters recently reported that new drugs released by pharmaceutical companies last year were "at prices 35% higher than in 2022."
12. Biden Beat Big Pharma
The president claimed his administration "beat Big Pharma!" However, the president empowered pharmaceutical companies when he unlawfully attempted to mandate private businesses force their employees to receive the Covid shot.
13. Student Loans
Biden contended that he "fixed student loan programs to reduce the burden of student debt for nearly 4 Million Americans, including nurses, firefighters, and others in public service." That is false. Biden’s illegal efforts merely transferred the responsibility of paying back these loans to individuals who never attended college or had already paid back their loans.
14. Decreasing The Federal Deficit
Biden falsely claimed he "cut the federal deficit by over one trillion dollars" and has been "delivering real results in a fiscally responsible way." Both claims are false. In fact, the U.S. national debt has risen by more than 6 trillion since Biden took office.
15. Corporations Aren’t Paying Their Fair Share
Biden insinuated that "big corporations and the very wealthy" do not "pay their fair share." As organizations such as The Heritage Foundation have reported, wealthy Americans pay the "large majority of taxes" in the United States.
16. Trump Tax Cuts
Biden falsely claimed the Trump tax cuts "overwhelmingly benefit[ed] the very wealthy and the biggest corporations." Data produced by the IRS has shown that "on average all income brackets benefited substantially from the Republicans’ tax reform law, with the biggest beneficiaries being working and middle-income filers, not the top 1 percent," according to The Hill.
17. The National Debt Under Trump
Biden stated that the Trump administration "added more to the national debt than in any presidential term in American history." This is untrue. Democrats’ favorite "fact-checking" outlet, PolitiFact, admitted that "former President Barack Obama accumulated more debt than Trump."
18. Inflation Reduction Act
In an apparent reference to the so-called "Inflation Reduction Act," Biden claimed "nobody earning less than $400,000 will pay an additional penny in federal taxes." Yet, estimates produced by the Joint Committee on Taxation predict that the Democrats’ bill does "nothing to bring the economy out of stagnation and recession, but it will raise billions of dollars in taxes on Americans making less than $400,000."
19. How Many Billionaires?
The president claimed there are 1,000 billionaires in the U.S. According to Forbes, there are 735 billionaires in America as of 2023.
20. How Much Billionaires Pay In Taxes
Biden falsely claimed the average federal tax rate for billionaires is 8.2 percent. Once again, the left’s favorite "fact-checking" site, PolitiFact, rated the president’s assertion "false," as "the richest Americans pay an effective tax rate of more than 20% on the income the government counts under the current tax code."
21. The Ukraine-Border Bill
Biden claimed the border boondoggle negotiated behind closed doors by Senate leadership contained "the toughest set of border security reforms we’ve ever seen" and would "bring order to the border." That statement could not be further from the truth, as the bill would have only exasperated the ongoing southern border invasion.
22. Election Law Falsehoods
The president insinuated that Republican-backed election integrity measures, supported by most Americans, take "us back in time" and constitute "voter suppression" and "election subversion." There has never been any evidence these laws do what the president suggested.
23. Book Bans
The president regurgitated the falsehood that conservatives are banning books.
24. ’Lincoln’ Riley
Biden claimed an illegal immigrant killed a young woman named "Lincoln" Riley. That is incorrect. Her name is Laken Riley.
25. Trump’s Comments On Iowa School Shooting
Biden misrepresented remarks given by Trump in response to a January Iowa school shooting, which left one dead and several injured. As The Federalist reported, the shooter "flirted with Democrat gender ideology."
In his SOTU address, Biden claimed Trump told Iowans to "get over it." Of course, Biden took the comments out of context, which shows Trump sympathizing with the victims and speaking about the importance of moving forward as a community.
"To the entire community, we love you, we pray for you, and we ask God to heal and comfort, really, the whole state. ... We’re really with you as much as anybody can be. It’s a very terrible thing that happened," Trump said. "It’s just terrible. ... That’s just horrible. It’s so surprising to see it here. ... But we have to get over it. We have to move forward. ... To all the relatives, and all the people who are devastated right now, to the point they can’t breathe, they can’t live, we are with you all the way."
26. The Second Amendment
The president falsely claimed that a "ban" on so-called "assault weapons" doesn’t constitute a violation of the Second Amendment.
27. Biden’s Teaching Career
Biden falsely asserted he "taught the Second Amendment for 12 years."
28. Gaza Deaths
Biden said that "most" of the people killed in Gaza "are not Hamas," including "thousands [who] are innocent women and children." Given that these figures are provided by "local authorities" (A.K.A. Hamas), it’s unknown whether they are accurate.
29. America’s Prospects Challenging China
Biden claimed the U.S. is "in a stronger position to win the competition for the 21st Century against China or anyone else for that matter." Given the ongoing border invasion, economic woes, and foreign policy failures under Biden’s presidency, this statement is not true.
30. The Idea Of America
Biden ludicrously contended that America has "never fully lived up to" the idea that "we are all created equal."
There are no bills to pay to NATO. Is that so hard to understand? The 2% are are what countries are supposed to spend for their OWN defense (and they could cook the books easily). Btw all European countries which have a border with Russia do spend more than 2% (afaik). At least Finland, the Baltics and Poland do.
"Opponents of endlessly funding Ukraine’s war with Russia have regularly stated that American interests must come before those of other nations."
How much will it cost America if Putin conquers Ukraine and then attacks NATO?
As a matter of fact we Europeans are already resigning ourselves to the fact that a Trump-America will abandon us. If cou believe that this in your interest, well, there's nothing we can do about it.

It was not until 2014 that it was agreed at a NATO summit that the 2 % rule was a target. However, as stated in a working paper by the Federal Academy for Security Policy, it was formulated rather softly: "The summit communiqué calls for NATO members that are below the two per cent level to 'move towards' it over the next 10 years, i.e. by 2024". Moving towards a target is not the same as reaching it.
And btw Germany will reach the target in 2024.

I fail to see why we can't negotiate with Russia to give them what they want, and for them to agree with what we want.
Putin has four years to run in his tenure, and four years of preparing is better than the clusterfuck that US military and foreign policy has brought to the table.
If he kicks before then and we don't have an agreement, we will be right back here, fighting over the best way to print money.

(a) China wants Russian far east a lot more that it wants USA.
(b) Iran survived so long only because it's protected and funded by USA.
(c) Western Europe with it's racist/islamist ("we are too white lets invite more Muslims") and antisemitic ("free, free Plasteline") and it's dominance of international organizations is a cancer on the body of Humanity.
After all, Eastern Europe was occupied by Soviet U. for two generations - are they the worse for it?

In the early 1990s the architects of PNAC were gravely concerned with a strong Europe. Now you want it?
Yes the European GDP is higher than the US GDP. But for now, we don't have the United States of Europe. We thought we didn't need a milirtary as strong as the American one. We don't aspire to be a global hegemon.
It is quite possible that the Russian threat will change that. In 20 years Europe could look a lot different if it gets its act together.
A nuclear armed Germany? You will not necessarily like it.
Right now, the U.S. is sending a strong message to its allies. Do not necessarily count on us anymore.

I'd rather see a Europe that can defend itself from Russia and iran with or without assistance from the US. Wouldn't you want that? For far too long the EU has played both sides of the fence with China, Russia and Iran. Now the bogey man is at the door and it's somehow Americas problem.
Yes the European GDP is higher than the US GDP. But for now, we don't have the United States of Europe. We thought we didn't need a milirtary as strong as the American one. We don't aspire to be a global hegemon.

There is more to the border vote than Ukraine and Taiwan. America's border is more important than yours. Accountability of the money is an issue as well.

Good, they should take note and not behave like Europe/NATO.

How much will it cost America if Putin conquers Ukraine and then attacks NATO?
Not gonna happen, EC. The real question is: How much is it costing us to host 27 million illegal aliens, especially when we're already $35 trillion in debt? How much is it costing Europeans to host millions of immigrants from the Middle East and Africa?
Putin's invasion of Ukraine was provoked by NATO's announced intention to expand into Ukraine. There was no need for this expansion. It was raw aggression on the part of Joe Biden and his European cohorts. Putin might well ask how much it will cost if NATO conquers Ukraine and then attacks Russia?
Joe Biden is a mad man. If you don't believe me, watch the latest SOTU and see if he doesn't remind you of a certain mustachioed corporal from Austria, right down to the way he was wagging his index finger while he ranted and raved. Seriously, you'd follow that man into war?
Regarding Trump's remarks at #2, Biden didn't outright lie, he just didn't tell the whole truth. Biden knew the whole truth, he knew the context in which Trump made those remarks. But he ignored the context. You could call it lying by omission. Democrats and their lackeys in the mainstream media do it all the time.
Everybody knows that America pays far more than its fair share for NATO. People in our government have long thought of themselves as the world's policeman. But we don't get paid for it. In fact, people all over the world hate us for it. But our defense contractors get rich and then they make generous contributions to the politicians who maintain this policy.
I believe NATO was justified in the years after WWII when Stalin was threatening to keep the Red Army marching West. I believe NATO is still justified. But it is justified as a defensive alliance for democratic, peace loving people. It was never meant to be a vehicle for the imperial ambitions of American and European globalists.
NATO has no business in Ukraine.

I am far more concerned about China than I am about Russia. China sends us covid and fentanyl. That's biological and chemical warfare to which our government has not responded. They bribe our government officials. Joe Biden is obviously compromised by the Chinese Communist Party. The Chinese really are aggressive to their neighbors. Ask a Tibetan or a Uighur. Ask an Indian or a Filipino. Ask anybody from Taiwan. Russia is not the problem. China is. Russia could have been our ally not just against China but against Islamist extremism. Biden's policy toward Russia doesn't make one bit of sense. His policy toward China only makes sense if you understand that he is compromised by Chinese bribes.

A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
[Restoring America] I’d be lying if I said I didn’t still feel the faintest stir of optimism at the sight of former President Barack Obama’s once-ubiquitous "Hope" poster. Designed by street artist Shepard Fairey, the image of Obama gazing skyward in highly contrasted shadows of blue and red was perfectly suited to the caption, written in bold, blocked lettering: "Hope." New Yorker art critic Peter Schjeldahl called it "the most efficacious American political illustration since ’Uncle Sam Wants You.'"
