Terrorist Threat to U.S. has “Skyrocketed” due to Dangerous Biden-Harris Open Border Policies
More than 1.7 million illegal immigrants from countries that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has determined pose a national security threat to the United States have entered the country under the Biden administration’s ruinous open border policies and dozens that appear on the terrorist watchlist have been released into American communities, according to government figures reluctantly provided to Congress. The alarming stats also reveal that in just over three-and-a-half years the administration, led by border czar Kamala Harris, has welcomed into the country a ghastly 7.6 million illegal aliens, including nearly 2 million who sneaked over the border without getting arrested. The government calls them “gotaways” and earlier this year a U.S. Senator from Missouri blasted DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas for allowing more “gotaways” to enter the country through the southern border than the combined populations of his state’s two largest cities, St. Louis and Kansas City.
The numbers have increased significantly since the Missouri lawmaker pressed Mayorkas on the issue, according to the latest figures included in a report published this month by the House Judiciary Committee. At the time, in late January, 860,000 illegal immigrants crossed into the United States without encountering a border official. The number has surged to at least 1.9 million, according to updated DHS figures embedded in the report. “Among those largely unvetted aliens are at least 382 illegal aliens on the U.S. government’s terrorist watchlist who have been encountered by Border Patrol along the southwest border since January 2021, with 100 watchlisted alien encounters so far in fiscal year 2024,” the report states, adding the obvious; “the terrorist threat to the United States has skyrocketed due to the Biden-Harris Administration’s dangerous open-borders policies.” As an example, the congressional panel offers that of the more than 250 illegal aliens on the terrorist watchlist who were encountered by Border Patrol at the southwest border between fiscal years 2021 and 2023, DHS has released into American communities at least 99, with 34 others in the agency’s custody but not yet removed from the country.

Israel begins to view UN flag in Gaza as target indicator — Russia’s UN envoy
"It appears that the UN flag is not only failing to protect civilians, humanitarian workers and civilian social infrastructure, but also tends to become a direct target for the IDF," Vasily Nebenzya said
"Schools, hospitals and refugee camps are being shelled in different parts of the Strip. The US media are quoting volunteer doctors working in Gaza hospitals, who almost every day - according to their very testimonies - encounter cases of gunshot wounds to the heads among minors from 2 to 12 years old," he told a UN Security Council briefing on the situation in the Middle East, including the Palestinian question. "It appears that the UN flag is not only failing to protect civilians, humanitarian workers and civilian social infrastructure, but also tends to become a direct target for the IDF."
"All humanitarian workers, including our today’s briefer, are stating "in unison" that "there are no safe places in Gaza left." And this is not a figure of speech, it is a bitter reality," Nebenzya continued.
In his words, "the number of civilians killed, wounded and maimed, including women and children, is staggering."
"In the past 24 hours alone, 55 Palestinians were killed and over 329 wounded. The scale of starvation is shocking," he said.
Tensions flared up again in the Middle East on October 7, 2023, when HAMAS militants staged a surprise attack on Israeli territory from Gaza, killing residents of Israeli border settlements and taking over 250 hostages, including women, children and the elderly. Hamas described its attack as retaliation for the aggressive actions taken by Israeli authorities against the Al-Aqsa Mosque on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem’s Old City. In response, Israel declared a total blockade of the Gaza Strip, home to 2.3 million Palestinians before the crisis, launching air strikes on Gaza as well as some parts of Lebanon and Syria before starting a ground operation in the Palestinian enclave.

Eva Mendes slams Kellogg's over cancer-causing ingredients in its children's cereals
Eva Mendes has demanded the removal of 'harmful' food dyes in popular children's cereals.
The 50-year-old actress took to Instagram last week to warn about artificial dyes in Kellogg's cereals like Froot Loops.
Dyes such as red 40 and yellow 5 have been banned in several European countries for their links to hyperactivity and cancer but continue to persist in US versions.
The brand promised to remove artificial colors and ingredients from all of its cereals nearly a decade ago by 2018 but has yet to deliver on that promise.
Mendes, who shares two daughters with husband Ryan Gosling, called on Kellogg's to remove these dyes and urged her 6.6million followers to join a 'peaceful march to Kellogg's HQ.'
That protest took place Tuesday outside of the cereal giant's Michigan headquarters, where dozens of activists delivered a petition with nearly 400,000 signatures.
