Nonstop flow of illegal crossings here in Brownsville. Working on scripts in my car and look at the window and see another large group gathering for processing after crossing over. Border Patrol buses have been coming and going constantly. It’s going to be a very busy week.

tells me there's "no accident" with how the Biden administration has mishandled the border: "They've basically partnered up with the cartels to make all of this happen."

If the GOP and conservative money weren't so squeamish, Revolver News would have 50 million dollar backing to carry the J6 reporting and other high-risk stuff to the finish line
Instead, I'm left to bear the risk of retaliation alone.
I know for a fact the FBI is furious.

The Government has authorized another Disinformation office under the DNI umbrella.
The FMIC is authorized to counter foreign disinformation targeting not just U.S. elections, but also “the public opinion within the United States” generally, according to the law.
The new Foreign Malign Influence Center oversees efforts that span U.S. military, law enforcement, intelligence, and diplomatic agencies
WITHIN THE FEDERAL government, offices dedicated to fighting foreign disinformation are springing up like daisies, from the Pentagon’s new Influence and Perception Management Office to at least four organizations inside the Department of Homeland Security alone, as well as ones inside the FBI and State Department.
To oversee the growing efforts — which arose in response to concerns about the impact of Russian meddling in the 2016 election but have now expanded — the director of national intelligence has created a new office.
In testimony before the Senate Armed Services Committee Thursday, Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines for the first time mentioned the creation of the Foreign Malign Influence Center, or FMIC. “Congress put into law that we should establish a Foreign Malign Influence Center in the intelligence community; we have stood that up,” Haines said, referring to legislation passed last year. “It encompasses our election threat work, essentially looking at foreign influence and interference in elections, but it also deals with disinformation more generally.”
The FMIC was established on September 23 of last year after Congress approved funding, but its creation was announced publicly only after The Intercept’s inquiry. Because it is situated within the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, or ODNI, it enjoys the unique authority to marshal support from all elements of the U.S. intelligence community to monitor and combat foreign influence efforts such as disinformation campaigns.

Thats Fort Clayton. Former Headquarters of US Army South. Carter turned it over in 2000. It was our forward strategic outpost for all of Latin America and Caribbean. Mission included the protection of OUR Canal. It’s now controlled by China
It goes with that latest DHS announcement about "funds" for the NGOs.

WASHINGTON - Today, the Emergency Food and Shelter Program’s National Board announced the allocation of $332.5 million to assist communities receiving noncitizens released from custody as they await the outcome of their immigration proceedings. This allocation, through the Emergency Food and Shelter Program-Humanitarian (EFSP-H) program, will go to 35 local governments and service organizations. This is just one component of DHS’s comprehensive, multi-agency plan to manage increased encounters at the Southern Border and support communities when the Title 42 public health Order lifts.
This first round of funding was focused primarily on the needs of border communities due to the urgencies they are confronting. Several interior cities also received funding. The City of New York received the most of any interior city by a significant margin given its challenges. Later this Fiscal Year, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) will award approximately $360 million in additional funds through the new Shelter and Services Grant Program. Absent a change of circumstances, this next round of funding will be focused on the needs of interior cities, in addition to border communities. It is anticipated that New York will again receive a significant share in that round.
This funding is made available through the bipartisan Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023 signed into law by President Biden on Dec. 29, 2022. From that funding, $350 million was awarded to the EFSP National Board for humanitarian assistance, of which up to 5% is reserved for administrative costs.
Funding allocated through the program is intended as supplemental funding to support service organizations, and state and local governments addressing emergency needs of migrants encountered by DHS at the Southwest Border and released from custody pending their immigration proceedings. This money is in addition to $75 million awarded by the National Board in December 2022. Due to the significant demand for the limited funds from this competitive grant program, the Board was unable to fully fund all eligible applications.
Future support for emergency migrant care will be supported by the newly created Shelter and Services Program, which has about $360 million to grant before the end of the Fiscal Year. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), in coordination with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), will administer grants or cooperative agreements with state, local, and tribal governments as well as nongovernmental organizations. That program will also help support communities in managing migrant processing and preventing the overcrowding of short-term CBP holding facilities. More information about the new program is available here.

Our southern border is a tool for literally any country to enter illegally.
Chinese nationals are utilizing America’s weak border to enter into the United States as you can see in this video.
Instead of taking this national security threat seriously, our president and his allies would rather put American lives at risk as well as the lives of migrants.
It will only get worse.

Last year, one week before the U.S. Dept. of Homeland Security announced a "Disinformation Governance Board" for government censorship online,
@BarackObama
gave a speech at Stanford calling for precisely that. The timing & content suggest an orchestrated influence operation.
