If Ten Thousand Russians Enter Ukraine Illegally, Considered An Invasion - Why Isn't Our Southern Border War Not Considered An Invasion?

 

Most Americans Don’t Know How Bad the Border Crisis Is

December 30, 2022   |   By Outside Contributor  amac.us

This week could mark the most consequential development on the U.S.-Mexico border since January 2021, when President Joe Biden essentially opened the nation’s doors to millions of illegal border crossers. Depending on how court fights turn out, Title 42, the Trump-era measure that allows the U.S. government to quickly return illegal crossers to Mexico on the grounds of preventing the spread of COVID, will likely soon expire. After that, officials expect a flood of illegal crossers, all coming into the United States confident that they, like hundreds of thousands before them just this year, will be allowed to stay.

The disaster will come on top of the Biden administration’s currently disastrous border policy. In fiscal year 2022, the period from Oct. 1, 2021 to Sept. 30, 2022, Border Patrol agents encountered a record number of migrants crossing illegally into the United States – 2,378,944. Add onto that the estimated 600,000 illegal crossers who got away without any contact with the Border Patrol, and that means close to 3 million border crossers in a single year. The two months since the beginning of the new fiscal year have seen crossings at an even higher rate. And that is before the Title 42 change.

Already, the numbers have risen to unheard-of levels. Recently the Border Patrol reported encountering 16,000 migrants in just 48 hours – 8,000 per day. Compare that to the assessment of Jeh Johnson, President Barack Obama’s head of homeland security, who once said that 1,000 encounters a day constituted a crisis. Now, there are predictions that post-Title 42 encounters might hit as many as 14,000 a day. 

Cities and towns along the border have been overwhelmed since the Biden changes took place. Look at these figures from El Paso, Texas, in a story by the Washington Examiner’s Anna Giaritelli: “According to all the data that are publicly available from the city, the 678,000 residents of El Paso have seen 84,082 immigrants released into their town between August 22 and December 11.” That’s an extraordinary influx in the last few months, repeated in other U.S. communities along the border.

But perhaps just as extraordinary has been the decision by many major media organizations that what is happening on the border is no big deal. In particular, major television news networks, with the notable exception of Fox News, have virtually pretended that the crisis was not happening. Recently Fox’s Bill Melugin, who has covered the current crisis close-up since it began, was asked about coverage on the national networks. “I can count on one hand the amount of times I’ve seen them down here in my 19 months of covering this,” Melugin said.

Now, we are seeing what happens when so many in the media ignore a story. A new Harvard-Harris poll shows that Americans have no idea how bad the crisis is. When asked how many illegal crossers are entering the United States, they grossly underestimate the number. They are, in short, in the dark about what is happening on the border.

The pollsters asked: “How many border crossings by illegal immigrants do you think are occurring each year?” They were then given several ranges of numbers to choose from. Now remember, the correct answer for fiscal year 2022 is nearly 3 million. 

Sixteen percent guessed that less than 100,000 illegal border crossers entered the United States in a year. Another 21% estimated that somewhere between 100,000 and 250,000 entered the U.S. Another 18% guessed between 250,000 and 500,000. And then 20% guessed between 500,000 and 1 million.

After that, 12% estimated between 1 million and 2 million cross in a year. And then 6% said between 2 million and 3 million. Finally, 7% said the number was over 3 million.

Remember again that the correct answer is about 3 million. All told, 87% of those surveyed underestimated the number of illegal border crossers each year. Significant groups of Americans really underestimated the number – about one-third believed fewer than 250,000 crossers are coming each year, which is a remarkably uninformed opinion. More than half believe less than 500,000 are coming, another remarkably uninformed opinion.

How is it that so many people are so ignorant of what is happening? Might the answer have something to do with the fact that so many news organizations have ignored the problem? Ignore the story and you’ll have ignorant viewers.

The information deficit among so many Americans favors the Biden administration. If more people knew the true scope of the problem the president’s policies have created, then more would likely be concerned, and more would oppose the administration’s actions. Indeed, the Harvard-Harris pollsters, once they informed respondents of the correct answer, asked, “Given these numbers, should the administration continue its current policies or issue new, stricter policies to reduce the flow of people coming across the border?” Sixty-seven percent of those polled favored new, stricter policies, while just 33% wanted to continue current policies.

If more people knew what was happening, more people would demand change.

Who Got America Into This Mess?

12-29-22 Michael Reagan Patriotpost.us

2022 America has gone mad — in every sense of the word. And the person we can pin much of the blame on is Barack Obama.

Lots of perplexed Americans are asking the question, “How did we get here?”

They ask how is it that a rich, powerful and generally happy country that was chugging along so smoothly in the 21st century has almost overnight become an economic, social and ideological train wreck.

It’s a fair question — and the answer has little to do with the pandemic and the collateral damage we’ve done to ourselves with lockdowns and the war on COVID.

Today, the country is divided into dozens of red-blue factions who argue bitterly about everything from federal spending and abortion to oil pipelines, gun control, vaccines and “corrective” gender surgery for 12-year-olds.

The major liberal media have become shameless lapdogs of the Democrats in power in Washington, D.C.

Comedians are being cancelled for being incorrectly funny. Future U.S. Supreme Court justices can’t — or won’t — define the word “woman.”

Our great and special country has never been perfect, obviously. For starters, ask Native Americans, Blacks, women and gays.

But 2022 America has gone mad — in every sense of the word. And the person we can pin much of the blame on is ….

Barack Obama.

In 2008 the sainted liberal from Chicago cruised into the White House on the ideal of hope and change, his powerful oratory and the promise of a better, colorblind and more equal future for all Americans.

But once in office, as his big dreams evaporated, he lit the fires and fanned the flames of much of the political insanity and negative feelings about America we are suffering with today.

For example, Obama was the first president, in my lifetime who openly criticized specific people in the population.

“You didn’t build that” he told business people who’ve started successful companies.

“The police acted stupidly” I think he said when criticizing the Boston cops who arrested professor Henry Louis Gates for “breaking in” to his own house.

The whole “hate the police” theme — which morphed during the Trump years into the “Defund Police” campaign — was essentially sparked by Obama’s attitude about police and his ignoring of the gang violence wracking cities like his hometown.

Meanwhile, Obama’s wife Michelle was the first First Lady to say publicly she was not proud of America.

And when Barack went off to tour Europe, he made it a point to publicly apologize for America’s past failings.

But it’s now clear that the worst thing Obama inflicted on the country in the long run was Joe Biden.

Instead of his many possible but now forgotten VP picks, Obama chose a long-time, washed-up, gaffe-prone, “moderate” hack Democrat and failed presidential wannabe from the who-cares-state of Delaware.

Sen. “Amtrak” was carrying around a career’s worth of bad bipartisan baggage.

Friend of KKK alums like Sen. Robert Byrd, foe of busing for school integration, plagiarizer, hawkish on wars in Iraq and other Middle East places, hard guy on urban crime, mis-handler of the Clarence Thomas confirmation hearings — Biden held a bunch of positions that simultaneously offended or embarrassed his friends and enemies.

Biden was the booby prize of VP candidates in 2008 — and we can thank Obama for making it possible for Old Joe to eventually become the booby prize of American presidents in 2020.

President Biden — who some argue is really the front man for Barack Obama’s third term — is a mouthpiece for harmful leftwing energy and environmental policies that the “Old Joe” of old would never push.

Sadly, we’re stuck with Biden for two more years, if he can last that long. But there’s hope for America to become great again — again.

In the fall Republicans will retake Congress. Obama’s socialist ideas and negative attitude about America will die the political deaths they’ve always deserved.

And we’ll never hear of them again — until 2024, when Democrats put Michelle Obama of Martha’s Vineyard at the top of their ticket.

Yikes.

Fraudulent Biden Immigration Policy WILL be the Death of Our Once Great Republic!

 

Illegals Smuggled Enough Fentanyl Into the U.S. To Kill Every Person in America

December 27, 2022   |   By AMAC, John Grimaldi 

WASHINGTON, DC, Dec 26 — Drug addiction has been on the rise in the U.S. since the outbreak of the COVID pandemic. Yet a survey conducted by the Pew Research Center shows that Americans rank drug addiction at the bottom of a list of 18 priorities. In the meantime, deaths due to substance abuse are on a startling rise largely due to the powerful synthetic opioid fentanyl, says the Psychiatric Times.

The US Drug Enforcement Administration [DEA] reports that its agents have seized more than 379 million deadly doses of fentanyl thus far this year. DEA administrator Anne Milgram says it’s enough to kill every person in America. She says, “In 2022, DEA seized more than double the amount of fentanyl-laced, fake prescription pills that it seized in 2021. DEA also seized nearly 131,000 pounds of methamphetamine, more than 4,300 pounds of heroin, and over 444,000 pounds of cocaine.” 

It’s no coincidence the fentanyl crisis is happening on President Biden’s watch; it is due to his come-one-come-all open border guidelines, which quickly became a crisis of its own. As Republicans on the House Committee on Energy and Commerce put it, because of “the crisis at our southern border—every state is now a border state. Energy and Commerce Republicans are committed to securing the border and stopping the scourge of fentanyl in communities across America. That’s why we’re leading on the HALT Fentanyl Act to permanently give law enforcement the tools they need to keep fentanyl off our streets. In the new Congress, Energy and Commerce Republicans will work to hold President Biden and his administration accountable for their failures to address the ongoing crisis at the border. We cannot allow the lawlessness and tragedy to continue to tear apart our communities.”

Fentanyl is the leading cause of death among young adults between the ages of 18 and 45, according to an ABC News report. But the National Center for Health Statistics reports deaths among seniors 65 and older more than tripled thus far into the 21^st century. CNBC cites Professor Alexis Kuerbis, at the Silberman School of Social Work, who says that “We’ve got a public health problem coming at our door — these trends have been increasing for a long time now … Baby boomers obviously are a very different generation than the silent generation or the World War II generation. Baby boomers were far more open to using alcohol and drugs during their younger years but also through their middle-aged years and now they are older adults.”

Although overdose rates among seniors is not as high as they are for younger age groups, she points out that the death rate among the 65-plus population increased markedly over the past two decades from 2.4 per 100,000 in the year 2000 to 8.8 per 100,000 in 2020.

Last week correspondent Sarah Arnold penned a piece for Townhall, noting that President Biden has yet to see for himself what a mess he made at the Mexican border when he became president and opened the doors allowing millions of illegal migrants. He’s yet not made a visit to the border to see for himself what’s going on. It’s no secret that many illegals smuggle drugs, including massive amounts of fentanyl, into the country. The president is fully aware of the damage he’s done and continuing to do. She cites a new book “The Fight of His Life: Inside Joe Biden’s White House,” by author Chris Whipple. It reveals that Mr. Biden is “fully aware of the havoc he has caused on the border” and that he’s so frustrated he uses only “the F-word when discussing the border.”  

Mr. Biden claims to have a “six-point plan in place to combat the issue.” Politico reports that “the plan focuses on ‘surging resources’ — adding personnel, transportation, medical support and facilities to support border officials. But DHS [Department of Homeland Security] warned preparations are being done “within the constraints of a decades-old immigration system that everyone agrees is broken.”

As Oliver Hardy said to Stan Laurel, “this is a fine mess you’ve gotten us into.”

 

Lawlessness Breeds MORE Lawlessness - 2022 Year of the BIG Lie!

 

The End of Free Elections?

By Jay Valentine www.americanthinker.com

This week, leftists and RINOs admitted, under oath, that they changed the print settings, on election morning, so Republican votes would not be tabulated, on the one day most Republicans vote -- and the Maricopa County judge said “…it wasn’t intentional.”

A Republican governor candidate who easily won by multiple points was denied her rightful election.  Several million Arizona voters were disenfranchised.

Not a word from Republican leaders!

Wake up, America. 

Leftists and RINOs have spent the last 40 years transforming election machinery to end your right to vote -- and they are about to finish the job.

This week, the governor of Minnesota took the lead by planning to register, automatically, teenagers not old enough to vote.  On election day, there will be tens of thousands of names, with little history, who can be voted by election commissions when needed. 

Democrats are proposing laws making it a felony to question an election.  Of course they are!

Breitbart, Fox News, and about every other mainstream controlled opposition are cowed into submission.

Election commissions regularly add to election rolls, automatically, every person using any state service – even if that person has not requested to be an elector.  Your illegal migrant, getting welfare or a driver’s license can be automatically added to the state rolls.  What could go wrong?

While this is happening, hapless Republicans claim to have found the secret to election victory -- get better at ballot harvesting or gathering. 

This is the Republican Party that should provide pushback against industrial-scale, sovereign voter fraud.  Unfortunately, they see the problem of floating ballots; they do not see, or do not choose to see, the problem of ever-expanding voter rolls with people who never chose to vote.

Working with Mike Lindell, we currently run the voter rolls for a dozen states and have the data for several more.  In every case, the number of “voter registration anomalies” is from 5% to 18% of the voter roll.

A voter anomaly? 

Try the 41 voters registered in a hotel in Missouri.  How about the registered voters in the Harris County, Texas prison?  Examples are so numerous we have a website to cover them.

When most, probably all, states have a float of anomalous voters from 5% to almost 20%, an election commission can control the election outcome for any close election.  Elections are mostly close today.

We find “sleepers.”  These are the silent voters who never voted before -- even though they are on election rolls for a decade -- but when needed they jump to life and vote.  After the 2020 election, several states ran the query:  show all voters, on the voter rolls four years or more, who never before voted, yet voted in 2020.

The response, delivered with Fractal technology, was in the hundreds of thousands. 

Nobody claims these were fraudulent.  Neither can anyone claim they were all valid -- particularly since so many lived in hotels, churches, prisons, and scores of other addresses which cannot house a valid voter. 

This happened in every swing state. The one constant:  they never win elections for a Republican.  Go figure.

The Fractal team and three state voter integrity teams in Nevada, Florida, and Wisconsin met late in 2022 after realizing that fake voters, found by the hundreds of thousands, in Republican and Democrat states, when challenged, were mostly kept on voter rolls.

In several glaring examples, college frat houses with 106-year-old, active registered voters were just fine with the election judge.  I personally showed dozens of registered voters, each over 1,900 years old, to the Secretary of State of a red state, and he saw no problem.

This, people, is the terrain. 

The end of free, fair elections is in sight. 

We are one national election -- 2024 -- away from ending election-based choosing of the government and turning freedom over to election commissions with phantom voter rolls and jiggered printers controlled by leftists.

The teams in Nevada, Florida, and Wisconsin spent two years deep in voter rolls and they, and we, are delivering a hopeful solution. 

Paraphrasing Albert Einstein, one cannot solve a problem with the same technology that created it. 

Our teams are building a family of processes to clean voter rolls, real time, daily and weekly, at the county level, using government data to challenge government data.

We ingested the property tax rolls for several large Texas counties and reconciled them with voter rolls.  We showed, with a single click, thousands of registered voters living in clearly invalid addresses -- hotels, laundromats, prisons, flower shops, and a Mongolian restaurant.

Armed with government data, election integrity teams go to the county registrar and demand either the county tax record be changed to a residence and taxed as such (lower tax) or the county voter roll be amended and this voter challenged. 

This is called government data reconciliation.  You cannot be one person on a voter roll and a different person on a tax roll at the same time.

This was computationally impossible with current SQL, relational technology.  Taking tax rolls with thousands to millions of addresses and comparing them to equally large voter rolls would take weeks to process and cost millions.

With Fractal technology, our team does it with a single click, delivering the data to a tablet or phone, in seconds, while the voter integrity person sits in front of the county tax recorder or the voter registration clerk.

We were asked to do an expert witness report for the Kari Lake election.  The attorney told us we could not “…do another Matt Braynard.”  By that he meant, the data had to be perfect, accurate, and not able to be challenged.

Using Fractal technology, we take government data, property tax records, the gold standard in address validation, and compare them with tax rolls.  This isn’t done once.  It is done constantly.  It is impossible to challenge -- it is their government data, real time, showing things don’t reconcile.

The result is a constant back and forth of voter registration rolls with property tax records.  Around election times, when leftists add thousands of new voters, the Fractal system checks every one of them against the property tax roll – constantly in real time.

A major bucket for ballot gathering is mailing to undeliverable addresses.  These can be apartment buildings with no unit number designated.  College dorms with mail sent to recently graduated students is another. 

The Fractal system, with local voter teams, builds an ongoing database, updated constantly, of undeliverable addresses.

Voter integrity teams add other government databases. 

The Federal Election Commission database, cross searched, shows “contribution mules.”  Those are the retired person, living in a modest home, making 6,000 contributions a year to candidates.  Want to guess to which party?

We cannot stop election commissions from changing print settings, but we can keep them mostly honest on election rolls by reconciling one government database with another and forcing the government to make them match -- constantly.

We are on a journey to ingest the voter rolls and county tax rolls for 3,200 U.S. counties for 2024. 

Let’s see how many counties want to tax that Mongolian restaurant as a residence since their voter registration rolls show 20 voters live there?
