Bombshell Memo Shows Biden Planned To Leave Trump With Even More Massive Immigration Crisis

In a shocking development that will stun only those who still believe the previous administration ever cared about borders or the word temporary, Sen. Eric Schmitt obtained a document showing the Biden White House planned protections for Guatemalans, Ecuadorians, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans in a final desperate bid to hand President Trump an even bigger immigration clusterfrack.

The Supreme Court delivered a significant victory to President Trump's immigration policies ruling 6 to 3 that the administration can terminate Temporary Protected Status for Haitian and Syrian migrants. Fox News Legal Editor Kerri Urbahn highlights the majority opinion.

A newly uncovered Biden White House memo from the administration's final days revealed plans that could have expanded Temporary Protected Status to more than 3 million illegal aliens while acknowledging that previous court challenges had blocked many of President Donald Trump's efforts to end the protections.

TPS is meant for foreign populations experiencing crises like political unrest or natural disasters and while Trump has tried to end the temporary provisions for Haitians, Nepalese, Salvadorans, and Sudanese people lawsuits from pro migrant advocates have halted most attempts.

"My investigation uncovered that the Lame Duck Biden White House tried to keep millions of illegal aliens in our country by abusing the 'Temporary' Protected Status program," Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-MO) who acquired the memo told Fox News Digital on Friday. "After the American people voted for President Trump’s promise to end the TPS scam, the Biden administration tried to subvert the will of the American people. This was mass amnesty-by-decree. America is for Americans, and it is our home—it is not a permanent refugee camp," he said.

The memo argued that "granting TPS will potentially protect many vulnerable people from President-elect Trump's planned mass deportations... They argue that these protections are likely to hold in court, and they are prepared to litigate efforts to terminate or slow down the implementation of TPS for specified nations by the Trump Administration."

In other words the outgoing team decided the best parting gift for the nation that just rejected them was to load up the country with millions more people and then dare the new president to try cleaning it up through years of activist court battles.

"[P]rior federal litigation brought by advocates during the first Trump administration was successful in halting [its] efforts to terminate TPS, though that was due in large part to [its] failure to produce a factual record in support of termination, which is something that could be rectified," the memo went on. Schmitt said he obtained the memo from Archivist of the United States Edward Forst through his authority as chairman of the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution.

"Biden tried to turn TPS into a 3.1-million-person deportation shield, protect Tren de Aragua members, and trap President Trump in years of litigation," he said, adding the move directly betrayed the will of the people who ousted liberal Democrats from power the prior election."

The most disturbing part, Biden's ‘Senior Advisors’ recommended "he create 2.1 million NEW TPS designees in the last few weeks of his presidency, despite admitting TPS applications take 6 months," Schmitt added. "Luckily, that never happened and we have been deporting Ecuadorians and Guatemalans."

Schmitt noted that one week after the January 2025 memo which he said was erroneously dated 2024, Biden extended TPS protections for nearly 1 million noncitizens meaning its transmission still led to a concrete mass migration action. Because when the American people demand an end to the scam, if you're on the left, you simply ignore them and stamp another million temporary forever statuses just for good measure.

The memo reminded Biden he gave TPS protections to Afghans, Cameroonians ,Ethiopians, people from Burma, Lebanese, Ukrainians, and Venezuelan, nationals and repeatedly extended protections for Haitians. Apparently temporary means until the next Democrat is ready to extend it again.

"The previous Administration unsuccessfully attempted to terminate TPS designations for Sudan, Nicaragua, Haiti, El Salvador, Nepal, and Honduras. Courts issued preliminary injunctions blocking the Trump Administration's actions," it read. "Your administration took actions to resolve this litigation by either re-designating Haiti or rescinding the terminations."

The memo noted that Trump had said during the 2024 campaign he intended to revoke TPS protections for Haitians and predicted his incoming administration would likely seek to rescind additional TPS designations. How dare Trump try to enforce the temporary part of Temporary Protected Status.

A chart in the memo estimated potential new TPS eligibility for roughly 1.5 million Guatemalans 600,000 Ecuadorians 464,000 Nicaraguans 455,000 Venezuelans and smaller populations from Ukraine Sudan and Afghanistan figures Schmitt said totaled more than 3.1 million people. Just a modest little expansion of the permanent temporary refugee program.

The memo said Biden’s senior team had also received requests for varying types of new TPS related actions before Trump would take office from Sens. Michael Bennet (D-CO), Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV), Cory Booker (D-NJ), Richard "Dick" Durbin (D-IL), Mazie Hirono (D-HA), Ben Ray Lujan (D-NM), Tammy Duckworth (D-IL), and Alex Padilla (D CA).

"In addition, some stakeholders are requesting that your Administration designate nationals from new countries, most notably Ecuador and Guatemala, for TPS," it stated. While the proposals outlined in the memo were never fully implemented the document offers a rare glimpse into the immigration options Biden advisers presented as Trump prepared to return to the White House promising mass deportations. 

In classic fashion the outgoing team nearly succeeded in turning America into an even larger permanent refugee camp and then dared anyone to notice that temporary somehow always means forever. a shocking development that will stun only those who still believe the previous administration ever cared about borders or the word temporary.

Sen. Eric Schmitt obtained a document showing the Biden White House planned protections for Guatemalans, Ecuadorians, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans in a final desperate bid to hand President Trump an even bigger immigration mess.

The Supreme Court delivered a significant victory to President Trump's immigration policies ruling 6 to 3 that the administration can terminate Temporary Protected Status for Haitian and Syrian migrants. A newly uncovered Biden White House memo from the administration's final days revealed plans that could have expanded Temporary Protected Status to more than 3 million noncitizens while acknowledging that previous court challenges had blocked many of President Donald Trump's efforts to end the protections.

TPS is meant for foreign populations experiencing crises like political unrest or natural disasters and while Trump has tried to end the temporary provisions for Haitians, Nepalese, Salvadorans, and Sudanese people lawsuits from pro migrant advocates have halted most attempts. Because nothing says temporary quite like inviting the entire third world to move in forever and then suing anyone who notices.

Attacker yells something like "Al Lou's Snackbar" stabs a Jew and Asian in NYC's upper West Side

Lincoln Square Synagogue

Two men, one of whom was visibly Jewish, were stabbed outside an Orthodox synagogue in Manhattan's West Side.

The NYPD's initial investigation suggests that mental health may have been a factor, or perhaps another case of anti-Semitism catching on among the fashionable Left. To their credit, investigators are also evaluating the stabbings as a potential hate crime, a refreshing change from pretending every attack on Jews is just an unfortunate coincidence.

The Lincoln Square Synagogue at 200 Amsterdam Avenue on the corner of West 69th Street in Manhattan's Lincoln Square neighborhood has stood since 1970, designed by Hausman & Rosenberg. On Thursday, it became the latest reminder that New York's promises of tolerance seem to apply to everyone except Jews.

Eyewitnesses allege that the suspect shouted something that sounded sort of like "Al Lou's Snack bar" during the attack, according to the Anti-Defamation League in a post on X.

Police said a 57 year old man was stabbed in the back, while a 50 year old man was stabbed in the chest because they are Jewish.

New York City Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch, who coincidentally is also Jewish, announced that 51 year old Raul Morales had been arrested in connection with both attacks and that "no other people are being sought," in a post on X early Friday morning.

She added that one victim is Asian and the other is Jewish, and that the NYPD is investigating whether the attacks qualify as a hate crime.

At the same time, Tisch said the initial investigation suggested the attacker's mental health "may have been a factor," just like it is with all Muslims who believe that killing people for being Jewish is the right thing to do to please Allah. The thing is, if Allah has created the world and thus created the Jews, then how dies he call himself perfect? I certainly wouldn't hire Allah as a project manager, that's for sure.

"At this time there is no known link between Morales and either of the victims, nor between the victims and each other," she said.

That explanation has become almost routine whenever someone attacks Jews. The script practically writes itself. Mention mental health, avoid uncomfortable questions, and hope everyone moves on before anyone notices the growing pattern. Has nobody on the freaking left read the Islamic war manual they call the Koran?

New York Mayor and proud anti-Semite, comrade Zohran Mamdani responded on X, writing, "I have been briefed on today’s horrifying stabbings on the Upper West Side, where an Asian man and a Jewish man were attacked."

"According to witness and victim statements, the perpetrator yelled 'Allahu Akbar' during both attacks. I am relieved that both victims are in stable condition."

"The NYPD’s initial investigation suggests that mental health may have been a factor. They are also evaluating these stabbings as potential hate crimes," he added, using taqiyya to keep things on the down-low.

That statement might carry more weight if New Yorkers had not spent months watching politicians and activists normalize anti-Israel rhetoric while insisting there was absolutely no connection between demonizing the Jewish state and rising hostility toward Jewish people. Apparently, the Left believes words have immense power, except when those words are directed at Jews.

Governor Kathy Hochul (D) also responded on X, saying she was "Disgusted by what appears to be another senseless attack on New Yorkers simply because they’re Jewish."

"The strength of New York has always been our ability to live together across every faith and background," she said, referring to the past.

Hochul pulled out an index card and read it: "Our hearts are also with the second victim. Asian New Yorkers, like Jewish New Yorkers, have endured waves of hate-fueled violence in recent years. Hate rarely stops with one group."

Israel's Ambassador to the United Nations, Danny Danon, was considerably less diplomatic. He directly blamed jihadi Mayor Mamdani for fostering the climate that made such violence more likely.

In a post on X, Danon wrote, "Zohran Mamdani, your incitement is putting Jewish lives in danger in New York, home to the largest Jewish community outside Israel."

"You have spent months fueling hatred, demonizing Israel and legitimizing hostility toward Jews. Now take responsibility for the consequences," he added.

"Stop the incitement. Before more people get hurt."

Yeah, sure. Like Mamdani is going to actually stop anti-Semitic violence when his constituency is comprised of blue and pink-hair commies, socialists, and brother Islamists who now accept anti-Semitic rhetoric as cocktail conversation.

Whether investigators ultimately conclude the attack was driven by mental illness, anti-Semitism, or both, one fact remains impossible to ignore. Jewish New Yorkers continue to find themselves targeted with alarming frequency, while too many public officials seem more comfortable explaining away the violence than confronting the toxic ideology that keeps producing it.

Socialist NYC Mayor Celebrates Tax On Rich People's Second Homes As City Braces For More Empty Buildings And Unemployed Doormen

In a development that surprised only those who sleep through city council meetings, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani celebrated the Kathy Hochul backed levy on second homes worth more than $5M and immediately reminded everyone why no one should ever hand a socialist the keys to the tax code.

New York City mayor comrade Zohran Mamdani is facing heat on social media after his post celebrating the state’s new pied-à-terre tax on New Yorkers with a second home."If you have a second home in New York City worth more than $5 million, check your mailbox when you’re back in the five boroughs, because you've got mail," Mamdani posted on X, touting the tax on specific second properties introduced by New York Gov. Kathy Hochul that he supported going into effect soon.

"Today, we sent notification letters to property owners, letting them know that our new pied-à-terre tax is coming soon," the anti-Semitic comrade continued. "The best city in the world deserves the best parks, libraries, and schools in the world. That's only possible when we all pay our fair share."

As of Friday morning, Mamdani’s post had been viewed over 10 million times and conservatives on social media blasted the mayor and warned that the exodus of wealthy New Yorkers will only continue under this new plan.

Here are just some of the comments posted on X:

"Never elect a politician who: (1) sees your money as his slush fund, (2) loves Karl Marx, or (3) uses French words like ‘pied-à-terre’ to disguise new, confiscatory taxes he wants to impose to redistribute wealth," Republican Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT).

"Socialism - Florida’s best real estate agent," Republican Sen. Ashley Moody (R-FL).

"NYC’s pied-à-terre tax hasn’t even started and brokers already say owners are calling to sell," GOP strategist and attorney Mehek Cooke posted. Apparently, owners who can afford a luxury pied-à-terre are smart enough to get out of the cauldron on the stove before it starts to boil.

"Empty units don’t tip [doormen] or pay supers. You’re not taxing the rich. You’re firing the working class that depended on them." Communists are too busy virtue signaling to realize this fact.

"More incitement," Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton posted. "Communist @NYCMayor celebrates a confiscatory tax targeted at a select few."

"What will the excuse be when literally nothing improves after all these tax increases?" New York City Republican Councilwoman Vickie Paladino posted. "Will they just demand even more, or will they tell us to ignore our own eyes as they insist they’ve actually fixed everything? Both? "

"The condescension towards the people who already pay a ton of property taxes to NYC," Washington Free Beacon investigative reporter Chuck Ross posted.

Critics, including billionaire Ken Griffin whose luxury New York City home was featured in Mamdani's controversial video announcing the tax, argue the tax will only drive more wealthy New Yorkers out of the state and bring jobs and investments with them.

And while comrade Mamdani is a communist cum jihadi, he loves himself some capitalism, as does his family, in spite of their spouting the opposite.

Mahmood Mamdani, the father of Zohran, is a Herbert Lehman Professor of Government and a professor of political science where he preaches communist ideas, anthropology, and African studies at Columbia University. He makes somewhere in the neighborhood of $300,000; probably more.

Mira Nair, his mommy, is an independent filmmaker, director and producer and while she doesn't receive a fixed salary, her income from directing and producing fees, royalties, residuals, grants and her production company (Mirabai Films) rakes in a lot of capital, bringing he capital estimated to be between $20-$40 million or more. While this is unverified, it's likely quite a reasonable estimate. In addition, she and her professor hubby own a 5-bedroom, four-bathroom villa on two acres in the tony Buziga Hill neighborhood and for the past 8 years have rented it out as an Airbnb for roughly $330-$350 per night.

Zohran Mamdani publicly acknowledged that he lived in a rent-stabilized apartment in Astoria, Queens with his semi-ordinary wife in a one-bedroom apartment.

Obama Center Finally Delivers on Promise of Transformative Change by Bankrupting Local Plumber and Firing His Union Crew

In a stunning display of hope and change that somehow skipped over the people who actually built the thing, a Chicago plumbing subcontractor has suspended operations and laid off 25 union workers after getting stiffed for nearly $4 million on the Obama Presidential Center.

Adamson Plumbing owner Mike Owen says his company suspended operations, laid off 25 union workers amid a nearly $4 million payment dispute tied to the Obama Presidential Center.

Weeks after the Obama Presidential Center’s star-studded opening in Chicago, a subcontractor who previously claimed his company was stiffed for nearly $4 million has shut down operations and laid off 25 union workers. Mike Owen, the owner of Chicago-based Adamson Plumbing Contractors, told Fox News Digital that the financial fallout forced the company to abandon about half a dozen other construction jobs and left it on the verge of collapse.

Owen described the shutdown as a painful decision he believed was necessary to save the company from bankruptcy. "Laying off close to 30 people is something that no owner in our industry wants to do," he said. "It’s a hard thing to do, especially when you know you can finish them and the company can still make money. But we were put in a pretty bad corner."

Adamson, which performed its work on the center under the name Marsh-Adamson, has since filed a $1.72 million mechanic’s lien against the property, escalating the payment dispute into a legal fight.The company is one of several subcontractors to report financial trouble after working on the center, which was promoted as a transformative economic opportunity for small and minority-owned businesses.

A previous investigation by Fox News Digital identified several subcontractors including Black-owned firms the project was specifically intended to support that said they were owed money or had absorbed losses ranging from hundreds of thousands of dollars to millions. The largest dispute involves the Concrete Collective, which is seeking more than $40 million in additional payment.

Before the center opened, Owen said the project had left his company with $3.9 million in losses tied to delays, rework, labor overruns and changing project demands. He said he spent months negotiating with Lakeside Alliance, the project’s construction manager, before going public after failing to reach a resolution. Against the backdrop of that larger dispute, Owen said the breaking point came around the time of the Obama Presidential Center’s opening celebration.

Owen said Adamson and Lakeside Alliance reached an agreement under which Adamson would provide two journeyman plumbers to perform last-minute "housekeeping" work on campus at premium nighttime rates. In return, Owen said, Adamson was supposed to receive part of its outstanding payment days before the center opened on June 19.

An email shows a Lakeside representative telling Owen that $100,000 would be released through Adamson’s May payment application. Adamson completed the requested work, but the payment did not arrive on time, according to Owen, who said it was the company's breaking point and left him with no choice but to suspend operations on June 25.

"We negotiated it in good faith," he said. "Against my better judgment, I agreed [to do the work]. Not getting that large sum of money just kind of pulled the brakes on the train. It was just the final death blow to the company," he added.

"Rather than try to stretch it out and go bankrupt, I just decided the responsible thing was to shut it down. We’ll regroup, and we’ll see where we’re at come September." Owen said that the promised $100,000 retainage payment and around $35,000 for change orders payments have since arrived from Lakeside Alliance more than two weeks after he suspended operations and laid off 25 workers. Owen said the money helped reduce the company’s debt to one supplier but did not reverse the shutdown."It’s almost like too little, too late."

"It probably would have just prolonged the inevitable at this point," he said. "We’re still deep in the hole of what they owe us." Owen said Adamson has now moved out of its building and that he is working from home while turning the dispute over to his attorneys and determining whether the company has a future.

Owen has escalated his nearly $4 million payment fight.Documents reviewed by Fox News Digital show that Marsh-Adamson filed a $1.72 million mechanic’s lien against the Obama Presidential Center property, alleging it remains owed money for plumbing work performed on campus.

A mechanic’s lien is a legal claim filed against a property by a contractor or supplier alleging that it has not been fully paid for completed work. The lien is considerably lower than the approximately $3.9 million Owen says Adamson lost over the course of the project. Owen said the lien covers the amounts he believes are most readily documented, including unpaid fees, logged change orders and labor overruns supported by company records. "It doesn’t mean that I’m not going to pursue the $3.9 million in change that we lost overall," Owen said. "I’m still working with my legal team on that $3.9 million figure because I feel that it’s only right that we still hold ownership at the presidential center accountable."

Owen said he had initially avoided filing a lawsuit or lien while attempting to negotiate a resolution."I’m not a litigious person, but at the same time, our legal system is there to protect the small guy," he said. "I’m just going to have to fight this out legally from here on out, and these aren’t cheap costs."

Last week’s payment will be deducted from the $1.72 million, he said. Lakeside Alliance, a joint venture led by Turner Construction and four Black-owned Chicago construction firms, served as the project’s construction manager. The other firms are UJAMAA Construction, Powers & Sons Construction, Brown & Momen and Safeway Construction.In a previous statement, Lakeside said approximately 475 contractors worked on the center.

In its latest response, the alliance pointed to the project’s scale and said "contractual closeout continues long after the doors have opened" on major projects of such complexity." Lakeside Alliance remains committed to working through all outstanding matters to successfully close out the project," a spokesperson said.

Lakeside Alliance did not directly address Owen’s allegations, the layoffs or the $1.72 million lien. The Obama Foundation, former President Barack Obama’s private nonprofit organization that oversees the construction, said Lakeside was responsible for managing and paying subcontractors and that the foundation had no outstanding disputed charges with the alliance.

While it did not directly address Adamson’s allegations, the foundation said its financial support for firms working on the project exceeded industry standards. "Our commitment began with a 15-day payment cycle, which is largely unheard of in major construction projects," the foundation said in a statement, adding that it sometimes accelerated payment timelines or advanced payments months before work was completed.

The center has also faced scrutiny over its soaring price tag and promised taxpayer protections. Construction costs, initially projected at approximately $350 million, had climbed to $830 million by 2021 and have since reportedly surpassed $1 billion.Meanwhile, just $1 million has been deposited into a promised $470 million reserve intended to protect Chicago taxpayers if the center encounters financial trouble.

Those questions have drawn added scrutiny because the Obama Foundation secured the 19.3-acre Jackson Park site through a 99-year lease requiring a one-time $10 payment. Owen said the ordeal has left him financially and emotionally drained and uncertain whether he will ever restart Adamson Plumbing.

"This entire process really drained me out financially and emotionally," Owen said. "So that’s where I’m at — just kind of in a holding pattern." Owen said the opening ceremony which featured performances by Bruce Springsteen, Christina Aguilera, John Legend and U2’s Bono and The Edge, among others only sharpened his anger. Against that celebratory backdrop, he said, the struggles of the workers who built the center went largely unrecognized.

Owen argued that Chicago’s proud protest culture had been conspicuously absent and that the reaction would have been markedly different if the project were associated with figures such as Elon Musk or Ken Griffin, the Chicago billionaire whose name adorns the neighboring Griffin Museum of Science and Industry."There would be holy hell to pay," Owen said. "They would be picketing. They would be storming the castle."

Owen also singled out Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker, questioning why the pro-union governor had not addressed the layoffs or payment disputes. "But he hasn’t said anything publicly about the union companies at the presidential center getting stiffed," Owen said. "And it bothers me."

Owen said he was not accusing former President Barack Obama of personal responsibility but believes the foundation should publicly acknowledge the subcontractors’ complaints and help seek a resolution. "It’s become perfectly obvious to me that the ownership group there — they truthfully just don’t care," he said. "I don’t know any other way to say it." Owen said contractors had held out hope that their disputes would be resolved once construction ended. "But I think a lot of us out there, the main subcontractors, all still had this feeling that it was going to be worked out in the end — until it wasn’t," he said.

Now, with Adamson’s future uncertain, Owen said the project has left him facing a personal turn he never saw coming."I mean, the only leverage I have now is just to continue speaking out and see where it goes," he said. "But my career, it’s funny, I’m going to have to go find a job, which is fine. It’s just that I did not anticipate the completion of this project would take this turn."

Israel Announces Plan To Surround Hamas Prisoners With Crocodiles In What Experts Call The Most Humane Form Of Deterrence Yet

Israeli Environmental Protection Minister Idit Silman reclassified crocodiles from wild animals to “cultivated wild animals,” opening the door for them to be used to guard the country’s prisons holding Hamas operatives, a decision that has already sent progressive animal rights activists into a frenzy of pearl clutching over the welfare of the reptiles rather than the terrorists.

The regulation implemented Wednesday allowed crocodiles to be bred by government officials as long as they are held “in conditions determined by the [Nature and Parks Authority] director, to prevent their interference with nature,” the Times of Israel reported.

Finally, a government agency doing something useful with the environment instead of just lecturing people about plastic straws. Israel’s National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, who pitched the idea last year, celebrated the change online.

“Ministers Ben-Gvir and Silman are collaborating and surrounding the prisons with crocodiles!” Ben-Gvir posted on Facebook Thursday, adding an AI-generated image of himself with a pet crocodile and the caption, “You filthy terrorist, thinking about making a run for it? Think twice.”

Ben-Gvir and Silman have taken inspiration from Trump’s “Alligator Alcatraz” that used the Everglades’s natural alligator population to deter its inmates from escaping, according to NewsNation. Because nothing says justice like borrowing a page from the most successful border security innovator in recent history.

Ben-Gvir hopes that Nile crocodiles will be placed at Ketziot Prison, which hosts many prisoners from Hamas. Nile crocodiles are one of the most dangerous animals in the world, the other is jihad.

SeaWorld notes that Nile crocodiles can grow up to 20 feet long, half the length of a typical school bus, and can weigh over 1,500 pounds. Not only do Nile crocodiles prey on hippos, zebras, or wildebeest, and they are one of the only known reptile species to actively hunt humans. In other words, the perfect match for a group that has demonstrated a similar enthusiasm for hunting humans.

Neta Drori, the Environmental Protection Ministry’s legal adviser, wrote to Silman in June that there is no known precedent of using crocodiles to protect prisons, and noted that crocodile breeding in the past has led to the animals escaping and terrorizing local populations. As if the real terror were the crocodiles and not the people they would be guarding.

“With regard to the use in the United States, it was noted that this was a short-lived trial that was discontinued. It apparently took place in an area where crocodiles already occur in the wild, and there is therefore no basis for comparison,” Drori wrote. “Although Prison Service officials said they are aware of and prepared to ensure the animals’ physical welfare, among other things based on their experience with dogs, the organization apparently has no expertise in raising dangerous wild animals such as crocodiles,” Drori added, concluding that despite the reclassification of the crocodile, Israeli law requires legislative approval of the decision to add crocodiles to the country’s prisons.

Silman has rejected Drori’s opinion, citing testimony from senior officials that the bureaucratic framework allows her and Ben-Gvir to implement the crocodile plan. A rare moment of government officials actually cutting through red tape to do something effective.

The Nature and Parks Authority is expected to meet soon and discuss the legality of Silman and Ben-Gvir’s plan. “The minister is acting contrary to her own legal adviser, contrary to the legal opinion of the Israel Nature and Parks Authority, contrary to the authority’s plenum, and contrary to the law. In other words, there is no legal basis for this,” an official told the Jerusalem Post.

Sources confirm the official then returned to worrying about the emotional trauma the crocodiles might experience while staring down hardened terrorists, however they also agree that Middle East food is delicious.

AOC Warns America Could Be Invaded By Reading Section She Didn't Read

On Tuesday, Rep. Alexandria Obviously-Commie (Comrade-NY) once again reminded Americans that confidence and comprehension are not necessarily traveling companions.

The latest episode began after the Bronx-born, Yorktown Heights raised, socialist took to social media to denounce the pending National Defense Authorization Act. She declared that one provision in the bill was an “existential threat to American sovereignty and democracy” that would “merge parts of our military with the IDF.”

Unfortunately, she is a dolt. The actual legislation refused to cooperate with her interpretation.

Within hours, critics, lawmakers, and legal experts pointed out that Section 219 has nothing to do with AOC's verbiage.

Rather than placing American troops under Israeli command or having Marines report to Tel Aviv before breakfast, the provision simply formalizes ongoing cooperation between the United States and Israel on research, technology development, missile defense, artificial intelligence, and counter drone systems. Let me say that important word again: COOPERATION.

In other words, it describes the sort of defense partnership Washington has maintained with allies for years, making it a rather disappointing script for those hoping for an international military takeover.

EPA Chief Lee Zeldin suggested the New York Democrat spend less time inventing geopolitical thrillers and more time brushing up on reading comprehension and critical thinking.

Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY) was even less charitable. “Good grief, you are either obtuse or intentionally lying,” he wrote on X.

Legal scholars also struggled to locate the imaginary constitutional apocalypse AOC described. They noted that joint defense projects such as Iron Dome and David's Sling have been staples of U.S. policy for decades under bipartisan administrations, including laws signed by former President Barack Obama. As constitutional crises go, Congress passing legislation through Congress ranked surprisingly low on their list.

For longtime observers, the episode felt less like breaking news and more like a rerun. AOC has repeatedly delivered sweeping pronouncements about Israel before discovering that the facts stubbornly refuse to endorse them.

Her most memorable performance came during a 2018 appearance on Firing Line, where she labeled Israel "occupiers" before admitting she was “not the expert on geopolitics” after being asked to explain the issue.

Since then, she has continued courting her activist base with increasingly uncompromising positions, including promising at a Democratic Socialists of America forum never to support military aid to Israel, even defensive systems like Iron Dome that exist to intercept rockets aimed at civilians.

By week's end, Americans were once again left wondering whether AOC's greatest legislative talent is transforming routine defense cooperation into an Avengers crossover event. The only thing that actually merged was another social media panic with another elementary misunderstanding of the bill she was criticizing.

Trump Warns Iran That Every Attacked Ship Means One Destroyed Bridge Or Power Plant

In a clear and direct ultimatum President Donald Trump announced on Wednesday that the United States will respond to every Iranian attack on ships in the Strait of Hormuz by bombing one Iranian bridge or power plant.

Targets near or inside Tehran itself are now on the table according to the president.

Trump’s post read: “From this point forward, any time the Islamic Republic of Iran shoots at a ship in the Strait of Hormuz, whether it be by Missile, Rocket, Drone, or any other device or weapon, the United States will bomb and destroy ONE BRIDGE OR POWER PLANT, including those located next to, or in, the Capital City of Tehran,”

The warning came after the United States finished its eleventh straight night of strikes against Iranian military sites and facilities.

Diplomatic efforts have produced no visible progress while Iran keeps attacking ships and keeps the crucial waterway largely closed. Those of us who know about taqiyya are not at all surprised. Iran has been stalling for time and have no intentions of curtailing their nuclear ambitions.

That strait once carried a fifth of the world’s traded oil and gas during normal times. Iranian leaders may soon find themselves short on bridges to cross rivers and short on power plants to keep the lights on.

Trump has simply spelled out the price of continued aggression in terms even the regime in Tehran should understand. This approach marks a sharp break from the endless talks and empty warnings that achieved nothing in the past.

Unfortunately, I believe it's highly unlikely Iran will end the hostilities. Terrorists in suits are still terrorists and will never change.

Joshua Kerry Charged With Brutally Murdering Ann Widdecombe; Leftists Already Blaming Society Instead Of The Monster Who Did It

"If an offender has committed murder, he must die. In this case, no possible substitute can satisfy justice. For there is no parallel between death and even the most miserable life, so that there is no equality of crime and retribution unless the perpetrator is judicially put to death." Immanuel Kant [The Metaphysics of Morals, 1797]

British prosecutors charged a leftist cretin, Joshua Kerry, 28, with the murder of ex-politician and reality TV contestant Ann Widdecombe. I don't often write about UK news, but this one is no different than the incidents we are seeing in the United States and all over Western nations.

"We have charged Joshua Kerry, a 28-year-old British national, of Burley Road, Rotherham, South Yorkshire," officials announced after the former lift company [they call elevators 'lifts' in merry old England] worker drove more than 260 miles to the elderly conservative icon's home in Devon, drooling into his crotch the entire journey.

Court details revealed Kerry allegedly arrived in a red Vauxhall Corsa on July 8 and proceeded to attack Widdecombe while she ate lunch. Prosecutors told the court she was hit on the head repeatedly with a hammer, with reports specifying as many as 21 strikes.

The suspect, described as a white British national [which is incredibly more accurate in description than UK news describes Muslim perpetrators as "Asians"] living alone in a council house in Rotherham, was initially held on suspicion of murder before additional charges related to the commission, preparation, or instigation of acts of terrorism were considered.

Counter-terrorism police confirmed the investigation into his motivations continues, but he is, after all, a leftist and we all know how violent they've become when people have different opinions.

The real outrage is not just the crime but the predictable circus that follows. Here is a man who apparently could not build a life worth living, so he chose to destroy one instead.

A 78-year-old woman, a former government minister known for her unapologetic conservative views and plain speaking, targeted in her own kitchen. Kerry did not debate her because he doesn't have the capacity to do so. He did not write a strongly worded letter because writing is for losers. Instead, he picked up a hammer and used it like a coward who had run out of arguments and ideas if he even ever had one of those things.

Progressive voices will no doubt rush to blame "toxic masculinity," "austerity," "Brexit trauma," or whatever flavor of societal excuse is trending this week in the UK. They will demand we "understand his pain" and "address root causes."

Meanwhile, the actual root cause sits in custody: a grown man who traveled across England specifically to cave in the skull of a defenseless grandmother because he could not handle the fact that she existed and disagreed with him.

Ann Widdecombe spent decades fighting for traditional values, exposing nonsense, and refusing to bow to the cultural mob. Joshua Kerry spent his time likely picking his nose while apparently plotting the perfect hammer-based solution to political disagreement. One built a career. The other destroyed a life and now faces the consequences.

Sadly, there is no death sentence in the UK as it has been totally abolished.

The quotes remain unchanged because the facts do not need softening. Kerry is charged with murder. The victim was hit repeatedly with a hammer as she ate lunch. No amount of hand-wringing about "mental health" or "systemic failures" erases the simple truth that one man chose evil and acted on it.May justice be swift.

And may the rest of the left stop pretending every act of barbarism is society's fault instead of the fault of the barbarian who committed it.

Woke/leftism, is a mental illness.
