Hungary accuses EU of blackmail

Budapest has continued to object to a planned aid package to Ukraine ahead of an EU summit this week

Hungary’s minister for European affairs, Janos Boka, has said that Budapest will not give in to Brussels’ “blackmail” following a report that claimed that theEU would seek to sabotage the country’s economyif it does not relent in blocking a European aid package for Ukraine.

Ahead of a summit of EU leaders on Thursday, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has pledged tocontinue to blockthe use of the European bloc’s collective budget to funnel €50 billion ($54 billion) in aid to Ukraine.

Should Orban not relent in lifting its veto, Brussels could seek tosabotage Budapest’s economyby pulling funding to the EU member state, the Financial Times said on Sunday, citing confidential plans drawn up by European leaders seen by the newspaper.

The strategy, the FT noted, could impact Hungary’s currency and incite a downturn in investment, which would affect “jobs and growth.” But Boka, Budapest’s European affairs chief, has said that Hungary will refuse to be dictated to by European bureaucrats over its unwillingness to sign off on fresh aid to Ukraine.

“Hungary does not allow blackmail,” he wrote on social media late on Sunday. “The agreement confirms what the Hungarian government has been saying for a long time:Brussels is using access to EU resources as a means of political pressure.”

He added: “Hungary makes no link between supporting Ukraine and access to EU resources and refuses to let others do so. Hungary so far will continue to participate constructively in the negotiations, but it does not allow blackmail.”

The document, which the FT said was produced by an official in the Council of theEU, highlights what it says areHungary’s economic vulnerabilities. These include “very high public deficit,” “very high inflation,” a weak currency, and problems in debt repayment.

It added that Hungarian economic growth heavily depends on overseas investment, which, in turn, is driven by “high levels of EU funding.” A spokesperson for the Council of the EU told the FT that it has a policy of not commenting on leaks.

Speaking last month, Orban insisted that the EU must meet certain conditions if Budapest was to lift its veto, including making the package modest in size and stretching it over one year rather than four.Hungarymust also beexempt from any new joint EU borrowingover the matter, the PM added.

Another tactic reportedly being considered within the EU bloc is to invoke Article 7 of the Treaty of the European Union, which would allow Brussels to strip Budapest of its voting rights. However, this would require uniformity within the other 26 member states – a step many European countries appear unwilling to take.

(The EU is already an inefficient and corrupt organization, it was only set up for financial benefit of trade and industry. They converted to a political power dictating laws in each country. The EU Council is destroying EU countries through blackmail and massive illegal immigrants flooding the country. Slowly EU countries are going to withdraw from the EU. It’s just money laundering and blackmail organization. And NATO has decreased the individuals countries of sustaining military protection. There is a false belief that all countries will protect each other, but what if more than two countries are attacked. They fail to realize they are already been taken over from within by Muslim forces.)

Drone attack prevented at Russian oil plant – governor

A UAV spotted over a refinery in Yaroslavl Region was reportedly brought down using electronic warfare systems

A drone was used to target an oil refinery in Russia’s Yaroslavl Region on Monday, according to local governor Mikhail Evraev. The attack was prevented using electronic warfare systems that successfully brought the UAV down, the official added.

The incident marks thefirst time sincethe start of the Russia-Ukraine military conflictthat an oil refinery has been targetedin the Yaroslavl region, which lies to the north-east of Moscow, and some 700 kilometers from the country’s border with Ukraine.

In a message on his official Telegram channel, Evraev said that the incident had occurred at the Slavneft-YANOS oil refinery -one of the largest facilities of its kind in the country-noting that law enforcement agencies and special services were currently working at the scene.

The governor added that the attempted attack did not result in any casualties or fire.

In a later post, Evraev also stated that explosives technicians from Russia’s Federal Security Service had successfully neutralized the warhead on the UAV, declaring that there was no longer any threat to the safety of the facility and that it’s now operating as normal.

Telegram channels Mash, Baza and Astra have posted photos of what is claimed to be the downed airplane-type UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) that was brought down near the oil refinery. They have also reported that local residents heard a loud bang in the area at the time when the attempted attack is said to have occurred.

According to local news outlets, therefineryhas now beencordoned off by emergency services and law enforcement, and an ambulance, a demining vehicle and traffic police are on standby near the facility.

The incident in Yaroslavl is the latest in a series of attempted attacks on Russian energy facilities that began after the start of the Ukraine conflict. Earlier this month, a Novatek natural gas processing terminal based in the port of Ust-Luga in Russia’s Leningrad Region, nearly 1,000 kilometers from the border with Ukraine, caught fire as a result of an “external impact,” according to the company’s press office.

Local newspaper Fontanka reported at the time that at least two drones had been spotted flying towards St Petersburg before the terminal caught fire. Several days before that, Russia’s Defense Ministry also reported downing a Ukrainian drone near the city.

Sunday Talks – Senator Lankford Explains How Current Law Would Stop Border Crisis and New Law Will Stop Border Crisis

January 28, 2024 | Sundance | 124

In his own words, Senator James Lankford says if President Trump was president today the border crisis would not exist, because the existing law would be enforced. Simultaneous to this, the same Senator Lankford says the new law he proposes will create significant border enforcement.

If the executive branch can ignore the current border enforcement law (they can and do), what makes Lankford believe new legislation will not be ignored by the same executive branch (they will)?This non-pretending reality frames the essential point: the element of “enforcement” is not within the legislative branch, so the entire effort is a moot exercise. WATCH:

This is why OK to Condemn and Censure Lankford

Oklahoma GOP Passes Resolution to Condemn and Censure Sen. James Lankford for Outrageous Border Deal.

by Jim Hᴏft Jan. 27, 2024 8:40 pm

Tensions within the Oklahoma GOP have reached a boiling point as the state party’s leadership passed a resolution on Saturday to condemn U.S. Senator James Lankford for his involvement in an outrageous border security deal with Democrats.

The resolution, passed with immediate effect, states that the party will withhold all support for Senator Lankford until he ceases his involvement with the proposed legislation.

The resolution cites several concerns, notably Senator Lankford’s collaboration with Senator Chuck Schumer on a deal allegedly permitting 5,000 illegal immigrants per day to enter and work in the United States. This figure translates to approximately 155,000 illegal immigrants each month, amounting to an annual total of 1.8 million.

According to information obtained by FOX News reporter Bill Melugin, the deal includes:

— Mandatory detention of all single adults.

— Mandatory “shut down” of border once average daily migrant encounters hits 5,000. Importantly, this 5,000 number includes 1,400 CBP One app entries at ports of entry per day, and roughly 3,600 illegal crossings per day.

— How is that enforced? Once the 5,000 threshold is hit, a new authority is codified into law that requires Border Patrol to immediately remove illegal immigrants they catch without processing. They would not get to request asylum, they would immediately be removed. This includes removals back to Mexico, and deportations to home countries. This would be a massive change from current policy, which is that once an illegal immigrant reaches US soil, they must be processed via Title 8 and allowed to claim asylum. Under this new authority – they are not processed, and they are mandatorily immediately removed once the “shut down” threshold is reached.

— This “shut down” also takes effect is there are 8,500 migrant encounters in a single day.

— The “shut down” would not lift the next day. It wouldn’t lift until daily encounters are reduced to under 75% of the 5,000 threshold for at least two weeks. This means the “shut down” authority would not lift until two weeks of an average of less than 3,750 migrant encounters per day.

— Some family units will be released with ATD (Alternatives to Detention, ankle monitors etc).

— New removal authority to immediately remove all migrants who do not have valid asylum claims, which will be determined within 6 months rather than the years long process we have right now.

— Any migrant caught trying to cross twice during “shut down” phase would be banned from entering US for one year.

— US will need agreement with Mexico for MX to take back non-Mexican illegal immigrants. This hasn’t been ironed out yet.

According to Melugin, “President Biden approves of the deal and is ready to sign it as is, right now, and implement the new authority it would give him.”

The OK GOP party emphasizes support for “limited legal immigration” and opposes any ‘path to citizenship’ that would favor illegal aliens over those who have pursued immigration through legal channels.

Lankford is lying, the bill are 1000’s of pages I’m surprised he didn’t say,you have to pass it, to read it. They wasted all this time rewriting the current law, so the new one will codify into law a permanent invasion to our country. The treason is unbelievable!

The Details Coming from the “Bipartisan Border Deal” Highlight the Ridiculous Nature of the Senate Bill

January 28, 2024 |

Senators Kyrsten Sinema (I-AZ), James Lankford (R-OK), and Chris Murphy (D-CT) have reportedly put the finishing touches on their “bipartisan border deal” that will be tied together with other Senate priorities to permit billions more in funding for Ukraine.

Keep in mind thebillions for Ukraine is the goalhere; the “border security deal” is themechanism to deflect attentionand give the customary UniParty illusion of justification.

There’s no reason to pretend this is anything of substance; even a cursory review of the media narrativeshows just how insufferable this nonsense really is.

First, the motive….

WASHINGTON – […]Linking money for Ukraine to the border, one of the most politically charged issues in Congress, was viewed as a gamble by Senate leadership but necessary to satisfy conservatives in the Republican-led House.

Next up… just how stupid they think we are…

[…] The expulsion powers granted to the president are similar to Title 42, the authority former President Donald Trump relied upon to turn away immigrants during the COVID-19 health crisis and that President Joe Biden ended last year. The new powers come with a penalty for repeat offenders, barring immigrants caught attempting to cross the border twice from entering for a year.

The expulsion powers in the new legislation are the same as the currently existing expulsion powers that are not enforced. And, if the illegal alien gets caught twice coming across, they have to wait a year for their third or next attempt.

But wait, it gets better.

The entire effort to “secure” the border,an exercise in actually just doing what they can already do but pretend they cannot, is only triggered if the total number of border crossers exceeds a certain threshold.

[…] If crossings exceed 5,000 daily per week or 8,500 in a single day, the authority would be triggered automatically, with the Department of Homeland Security forced to turn away immigrants with limited exceptions. (MORE)

Even in the expressed justification they admit DHS would be “forced to turn away immigrants.” ==Or, put in non-pretending terms, they would be forced to do something they can already do – but choose not to.= And they swear to do the thing then, that they can do now, but pretend they cannot do – or something.

We The People are in an abusive relationship with our government, and at this point the gaslighting is ridiculous.

Three U.S. Service Members Killed, 25 Wounded, in North Jordan Drone Attack

Moloch Needed a Sacrifice, this Admin allowed it

January 28, 2024 | Sundance |

The White House released the following statement:

“Today, America’s heart is heavy. Last night, three U.S. service members were killed—and many wounded—during an unmanned aerial drone attack on our forces stationed in northeast Jordan near the Syria border. While we are still gathering the facts of this attack, we know it was carried out by radical Iran-backed militant groups operating in Syria and Iraq.” (LINK)

A few more details are starting to emerge including the number of “many wounded.” According to recent media reports25 were wounded along with the 3 killed.

Yahoo – “Biden said the United States “will hold all those responsible to account at a time and in a manner our choosing.”

There was no immediate reaction from Jordan, a kingdom bordering Iraq, Israel, the Palestinian territory of the West Bank, Saudi Arabia and Syria.

U.S. troops long have used Jordan as a basing point, and the attack took place in northeast Jordannear the Syrian border. U.S. Central Command said 25 service members were injured the attack in addition to the three killed.

Some 3,000 American troops typically are stationed in Jordan.

Jordanian state television quoted Muhannad Mubaidin, a government spokesman, as insisting the attack happened outside of the kingdom across the border in Syria. The conflicting information could not be immediately reconciled.” (more)

I guess we are not supposed to remember this earlier announcement from three months ago:

…”I have also activated the deployment of a Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) battery as well as additional Patriot battalions to locations throughout the region to increase force protection for U.S. forces.”… (link)

Apparently, there are drones capable of outwitting the THAAD defense system, or something.

Funny, Bidan didn’t have a heavy heart when 13 soldiers died and 100s more seriously injured on the botched withdrawal of Afghanistan. Bidan didn’t even mention them. Why wasn’t he kicked out at that time?

Biden Administration Openly Promising to Do the Exact Thing Trump Was Accused of Doing During Impeachment Effort

January 28, 2024 | Sundance |l

President Donald J. Trump was accused of withholding U.S. military aid to Ukraine in order to force compliance with his requests. This was the exact claim of those who attempted to impeach President Trump in 2019; this was their originating justification.

Today, NBC is reporting that Joe Biden is looking at what military aid can be withheld from Israel in order to force compliance with their requests. I doubt the insufferable dolts in the media can see the ridiculous hypocrisy in this story.

WASHINGTON — The Biden administration is discussing using weaponry sales to Israel as leverage to convince the government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to heed long-standing U.S. calls to scale back its military assault in the Gaza Strip, according to three current U.S. officials and one former U.S. official.

At the direction of the White House, the Pentagon has been reviewing what weaponry Israel has requested that could be used as leverage, said the sources. They said no decisions have been made.

The sources said Israeli officials continue to ask the administration for more weapons, including large aerial bombs, ammunition and air defenses.

After weeks of private administration requests produced fewer results than the White House wants, the sources said, the U.S. is considering slowing or pausing the deliveries in the hope that doing so will prod the Israelis to take action. (MORE)

Yes, our troops should come home, and yes, they should be fiercely protected while serving overseas

The Biden Admin is grossly negligent and derelict of their ultimate duty in allowing for deadly attacks against U.S. troops in Jordan.

JORDAN SCHACHTEL

JAN 28, 2024

On Sunday, three U.S. Army soldiers were killed in an overnight drone attack on a U.S. military installation in Jordan. Another 34 (and counting) service members were injured in the attacks, and some were severely wounded, according to reports. The Iran-backed Islamic Resistance in Iraq claimed responsibility for the drone strikes.

According to the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, the aforementioned group isnot so much a singular militia but “an umbrella termused to describe the operations of all Iran-backed militias in Iraq, including strikes into Syria.”

When the operations against ISISwere in full swing, the U.S. outpost attacked on Sunday (called Tower 22)was both strategically and tactically significant for the mission, in addition to the hope that it would deter Iran-backed forces. Given its location in the northeast of Jordan, it allows American forces to be within close proximity to both Syria and Iraq while still being physically present in an allied country.

Satellite photo of Tower 22

The reportedly sophisticated drone attack on the installation in Jordan appears to be a significant escalation from the status quo. The attack should be understood within the context that a reported 3,000 American troops are stationed across Jordan, which, under its Hashemite royal family, has long been a relatively steady American ally.

TheBiden Administration ultimately created the conditions for emboldening a significantly weaker adversary to launch an attack against Americanswithin the borders of a U.S.-friendly country. Tehran and its subordinate militias clearly believe that Biden and the gang don’t have the cojones to fight back. Sadly, this clearly indicates that deterrence has broken down entirely.

Photo: U.S. Marine Corps

First and foremost, the Biden Administration has the responsibility to protect our troops stationed oversees. They’ve failed to uphold that sacred duty. For several months, American soldiers have been sitting ducks in the Middle East, facing attack after attack of all shapes and sizes. In order to effectively deter an enemy, that enemy needs to believe that it’s not worth their time to experiment with the FAFO meme graph. Sunday’s tragedy was the inevitable result of a policy of drawing a line in the sand and failing to defend that line.

Now, there’s a separate conversation to be had about the wisdom (or the lack thereof) of having thousands of American troops deployed for years on end in some third world hell hole. Just asthere is no real American interest in dumping hundreds of billions of dollars into an inter slavic squabble in the Donbas, there is also no U.S. interest in playing the role of permanent post 9/11 World Policeman in the Middle East.

In no way should this tragedy be parlayed into even further conflict in the Middle East. Tucker Carlson is right in describing the following legislators as “F**king lunatics” for their constant warmongering. Following the coming U.S. response, a sober White House would reevaluate the point of the endless engagement half way around the world.

Tucker Carlson on X.com

Our troops should absolutely not be there right now. Just listen toSec Def Lloyd Austin, who declared their presence necessary to “work for the lasting defeat of ISIS.” For those familiar with the way government agencies work, they won’t be particularly surprised that thePentagon bureaucracy, cheered on by the D.C. lobbying institutions, have spawned a never ending justification for more “missions” against a virtually non existent entity.

However, while they’re over there, the commander in chief and his Pentagon should be creating the conditions to ensure that nobody messes with American soldiers deployed overseas.Instead, the Biden Administration’s idiocracy places our best and bravest in the worst position possible. They’re thrown into Middle East viper’s dens with no succinct mission to advance and no plausible deterrent to protect them from nearby threats.

=Megyn Kelly Drops ‘Insider’ Information on ‘Plan to Replace Biden with Michelle Obama’==

Frank BergmanJanuary 28, 2024 - 10:45 am

If this happens, this is exactly when CiC takes the reigns with the military. This would be a coup by the Obamas

Former Fox News star Megyn Kelly has revealed “insider” information that she says exposes the Democrats’ plans for the 2024 election.

According to Kelly, Democrats are secretly plotting to replace President Joe Biden with former First Lady Michelle Obama over the summer.

While these rumors have been circulating for some time, as Slay News has reported, Kelly claims to have new confirmation of the reports from inside sources.

According to Kelly, the effort is being led by former President Barack Obama, who is convincing donors to back his wife in the 2024 race instead of Biden.

“The plan is; around May, Joe Biden announces he’s not running,” Kelly explains.

“This will allow for Michelle to get nominated at the August [DNC] convention.

“They want to do it any earlier than May because it would make Joe Biden a lame duck,” she noted.

“But sometime between May and August, Mrs. Obama will become the nominee, she will be subbed in.

“I can’t imagine an answer from top Democratic donors to that question other than ‘We feel great about that,'” Kelly said.

Earlier this week, Kelly discussed the rumors during an interview with Sky News.

“I don’t know, I’ve been all along saying I don’t think it will be Michelle Obama because she doesn’t want to be back in Washington, in the White House or politics,” Kelly told host Paul Murray.

“However, I’m hearing more about this alleged reach out to top Democratic donors by the Obamas to see if they would support it.

“There have been two reports now in the New York Post from, yes the gossip columnist, Cindy Adams.

“So maybe it’s true the donors are going to talk about it if they get a reach out from Michelle and Barack Obama whether there’s an appetite for her.

“And the one thing I know is if she wants it, I believe she will get it.”

Michelle Obama has reportedly already surveyed major Democrat donors about her potential candidacy.

In 2022, she also allegedly told a gathering of CEOs in New York City that she was running in 2024.

Now a new report has revealed plans for Obama to replace Biden on the ticket ahead of the Democrat National Convention this summer.

According to the New York Post, citing “credible sources few have access to and usually not meant for the noses of the media,” Obama is positioning herself to replace Biden and run against President Donald Trump.

“Obama has polled donors,” the outlet’s Cindy Adams wrote Monday.

From the New York Post:

His plan? Around May, Biden announces he’s not running (even mentally).

The so-called plot is that come the August convention, ­Michelle gets nominated.

Next step, Hunter’s father — the temp — drops out just before that convention.

For now, he still play-acts like he’s a real candidate.

Announcing today our dodo-in-chief would have to stop quacking and become a lame duck.

Their plan is currently being tweaked.

Obama has reportedly already sent surveys to “heavy-duty donors” to explore their reaction to her jumping into the race.

“The process has begun,” according to Adams.

REVEALED: Ben Shapiro Contributed Over $100K to Migrant Trafficking Organization in 2022

Shane TrejoJan 26, 2024

Neoconservative anti-Trump commentator Ben Shapirogave between $100,000 and $500,000 during fiscal year 2022to the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society (HIAS), former Utah U.S. Senate candidate Sam Parker revealed in an X post.

In addition to receiving support from globalists like Shapiro,HIAS also is on the federal dole to resettle dangerous migrants from third-world countries into the U.S. to accelerate the nation’s demographic destruction. Theis migrant-trafficking operation is driven by bribes to globalist officials and not legitimate humanitarian need.

Ann Corcoran of Refugee Resettlement Watch noted that HIAS has raked in tens of millions of dollars from the federal government to resettle migrants into the U.S. HIAS also used those handouts to sue the Trump administration, deploying lawfare to obstruct Trump policy meant to slow immigration.

Big League Politics has reported on Ben Shapiro being controlled opposition subverting the conservative movement from within:

“Conservative talker Ben Shapiro, once a prominent leader of the ‘Never Trump’ movement, has come out in favor of the mistreatment of the Jan. 6 protesters who are being kept in Gulag-type conditions by the Biden regime.

During an appearance on HBO’s Real Time With Bill Maher, Shapiro told liberal panelists that there were roughly 1,000 pro-Trump patriots on Jan. 6 who deserve to be stripped of their civil liberties and crushed by Biden.

“Forty-thousand people did not assault the Capitol,” Shapiro said. “There were maybe 1,000 people. That is not making light of the evil of those people, who all will end up rotting in prison, as they should.”

Shapiro’s comments come as a movement of prominent Republicans, led by Reps. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), Paul Gosar (R-AZ), Louie Gohmert (R-TX) and Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), fight for the pro-Trump ralliers who are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law…

While real conservatives are taking a stand, Shapiro appears on liberal talk shows and endorses heinous violations of civil liberties against Trump supporters. It’s no wonder why Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg drives so much traffic to Shapiro’s blog as the neoconservative pundit is clearly controlled opposition.”

Back in 2016,Shapiro inferred that Donald Trump, Pat Buchanan, Ann Coulter, Alex Jones, and Ron Paul were white supremacistsas he was attempting to stop the rise of MAGA within the Republican Party

It is clear that Shapiro has learned nothing over the years and is working to destroy the conservative movement from within. He does not want to promote conservatism in America, he only wants to grift from the movement while secretly working to hasten national decline.

Biden Doesn’t Have Any Legal Authority to Seize Control of the Texas National Guard. 1/2

by Hans von Spakovsky, Daily Signal January 28, 2024

(The Daily Signal)—Texas Democratic politicians, such as Rep. Joaquin Castroand failed gubernatorial and Senate candidate Beto O’Rourke, are urging President Joe Biden to seize control of the Texas National Guard, which Republican Gov. Greg Abbott has mobilized to help secure the Texas border.

Abbott did so in the face of the deliberate and intentional inaction by the Biden administration to make sure the border stays open so millions of illegal aliens could continue to flood across from Mexico.

Under the circumstances, any such move by the president would be an abuse of the applicable law.

A number of federal statutes govern the National Guard, which is the modern equivalent of state militias and a reserve component of our military. Under 10 U.S.C. § 12301(a), the secretary of defense (and thus the president) is given the authority in “time of war or of national emergency declared by Congress, or when otherwise authorized by law” to order National Guard units to active duty.

But they cannot be called to active duty by the president “without the consent of the governor of the State.” If the governor consents, the unit called into federal service under Title 10 reports to the president as the commander in chief while in federal service.

State governors, however, like Abbott, remain the commanders in chief of their stateNational Guard units, such as the Texas National Guard, unless they have consented to the president’s call for those units to be in active federal service.

The only exception to the consent requirementis contained in subsection (f) andit only applies if National Guard units are needed for active duty for overseas service—such as when we were in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.

Thus, under this statute, without the consent of Abbott, Biden has no power to simply seize control of the Texas National Guard as he is being urged to do and order them to stand down, since we are not in a war and the Guard is not needed for service abroad.

Biden could go to the extreme by trying to use the Insurrection Act of 1807 to take over the Texas National Guard. The Insurrection Act authorizes the president to federalize the National Guard under certain narrow and exceptional circumstances. The last time it was invoked was by President George W. Bush to help quell the deadly widespread riots in 1992 in Los Angeles.

Under 10 U.S.C. § 252, the president can “call into Federal service the militia of any State” when “unlawful obstructions, combinations, or assemblages, or rebellion against the authority of the United States, make it impracticable to enforce the laws of the United States in any state by the ordinary course of judicial proceedings.”

Clearly, there is no insurrection going on in Texas as defined in that law.

Nor is Texas violating any court order issued in “the ordinary court of judicial proceedings.” The state has been placing barbed-wire fencing on state-owned and private property, and no court has ordered Texas to remove or cease installing that fencing….

https://discernreport.com/biden-doesnt-have-any-legal-authority-to-seize-control-of-the-texas-national-guard/

>>20323626

2/2

The only thing that has happened is that the U.S. Supreme Court vacated—while the case between Texas and the federal government is on appeal—an injunction that prevented the feds from removing the fencing. But nothing prevents Texas from continuing to put in more fencing, even after it has been removed.

Biden would also behard-pressed to legitimately use another part of the Insurrection Act, 10 U.S.C. § 253, which allows a president to use a state militia (the National Guard) if an insurrection or domestic violence “hinders the execution of the laws of that State, and of the United States.”

It is Texas that is trying to ensure that federal laws are being enforced and complied with. And it is the Biden administration that is “hindering” the execution of the laws of the United States with its abject refusal to enforce our immigration laws, to prevent illegal aliens from crossing the border, and its unlawful granting of mass parole to those aliens once they are in the United States.

If Biden tries to call forth the Texas National Guard, the most likely federal statute for him to try to use, according to a source familiar with National Guard operations, is 10 U.S.C. § 12406. This provision allows the president to “==call into Federal service” the National Guard under one of three circumstances:

• an “invasion by a foreign nation”:

• “a rebellion or danger of a rebellion against the authority of the Government of the United States”;

•or the president’s inability “with the regular forces to execute the laws of the United States==.”

The fatuous argument thatBiden would have to make is that Texas is engaged in a rebellion against the authorityof the United States or some such other rubbish. But as already noted,there has been no rebellion by Texasand no court order of any kind finding that Texas is somehow violating federal law or refusing to comply with federal courts.

The third precondition obviously also does not apply. A claim that any of these preconditions have been met would be met with derision.

Instead of carrying out his duty as president to “take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed,” which includes our immigration laws,Biden has violated his oath of office and is acting like a bully to violate the law, threaten states like Texas that are faced with a desperate situation, and thwart the will of the people who want a secure border and the rising tide of illegal immigration stopped.

If the Biden administration would spend as much time fighting illegal immigration as it does fighting border states that are actually trying to do something about the problem, we might begin to see some progress.But don’t hold your breath.

Anger Management Therapist Loses It, Murders Man While Witnesses Watch: Police

Jack Davis

By Jack Davis January 28, 2024

A Florida therapist who specializes in anger management has been charged with murder in connection with the death of a man whose body was found in the therapist’s car.

Travis McBride, 46, was charged Jan. 19 with first-degree, premeditated murder in the death of Clinton Dorset, 51, according to WESH-TV in Daytona Beach.

The killing was first reported on the morning of Jan. 18. “There’s been a murder that happened,” a caller to 911 told a dispatcher, according to WESH. “We got a couple of eyewitnesses, and I believe —the person right now he’s looking at the road, cleaning up the blood off the ground.”

The website Law and Crime said a DeLand police affidavit quoted a woman identified as “W1,” who saidMcBride allegedly accused Dorsey — who is thought to be homeless — of doing something to harm dogs owned by the suspect.

The affidavit outlined what the witness said she saw. An affidavit is an allegation that remains unproven before a trial.

“W1 stated that she saw (McBride) with a gun in his hand shooting, (Dorsey). W1 said she heard approximately eight to nine shotsbeing fired. W1 stated she heard the gunshots and then saw the light on the gun. W1 noted that (McBride) was pointing the gun down at the body,” the affidavit stated.

“W1 stated she saw (McBride) drag the body across the street toward a wooded area. W1 said she did not observe any other person(s) drag the body into the woods across the street in the area when (McBride) shot (Dorsey). W1 noted thatshe was 100% sure that (McBride) shot (Dorsey).W1 stated she feared (McBride) because he was aggressive with his gun,” the affidavit stated.

A police report obtained by the Daytona Beach News-Journal said a witness “observed Travis point a gun downwards towards Dorsey, saw the attached light on the weapon turn on and further illuminate Dorsey, and fire several more shots at close range.”

Police said that after responding to the scene of the incident on Jan. 18, they saw what they believed to be a dead body in the back seat of McBride’s 2016 red Nissan Versa.

One officer “opened the rear hatch trunk door [which was unlocked] in [an] attempt to render aid to the individual,” the report stated. What “initially came in as a suspicious incident quickly evolved into a homicide investigation,” DeLand Police Chief Jason Umberger said during a news conference Friday, according to the News-Journal.

“Preliminarily, we believe there was an ongoing dispute between [McBride] and our victim,” he said. “I don’t know if they knew each other, but they knew of each other.”

According to the News-Journal, McBride has a police record dating back to1995, in which a charge of felony aggravated battery was resolved after McBride completed a deferred prosecution agreement.

A 1996 felony aggravated battery charge against him was disposed of in the same fashion.

In2017, McBride was arrested on a domestic battery by strangulation chargeafter his wife said McBride was upset aftershe took one of his dogs outside.

The case was resolved by adeferred prosecutionagreement that required no violent contact with the victim, counseling and fines.

McBride is a licensed Florida mental health counselorand owns Starting Point Mental Health LLC in DeLand, which has been operating since 2009.

This rumor will never die. But its a lie and they keep repeating that so they get more responses like yours.

He said a week or more, he had already chose the person.I think he’s choosing Doug Burghum,Governor of ND, he said good things on his operational skills. The guy is brilliant and understated in personality. Someone that can get along with Trump and take over as President if ever needed.

Burghum has endorsed Trump also
