ANALYSIS – Joe Biden’s border disaster is only getting worse as we are now seeing a record number of illegal aliens labeled as “special interest migrants” for potential national security risks crossing into the United States. According to internal Customs and Border Protection (CBP) data reported by the Daily Caller News Foundation, the number of encounters has increased by nearly 600% to 25,627 in fiscal year 2022. In the previous fiscal year, 2021, the number was only 3,675. The majority of these encounters were at the southern border, with the highest number in El Paso, Texas. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) defines a “special…

ANALYSIS – As I noted previously, Italy’s ‘just right’ new leader Giorgia Meloni has clearly separated herself from her coalition partners and pro-Putin European far-right parties by strongly condemning Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine. She has also expressed her support for NATO, and Italy’s prior government’s backing of Ukraine. Meloni, who will become Italy’s new prime minister, previously said Putin ‘threatens the security of the entire European continent’ and that his annexation of four Ukrainian regions has ‘no legal and political value.’ That most certainly angered Russian leader Vladimir Putin, and he appears to be responding. Russia’s Gazprom temporarily suspended gas…

ANALYSIS – Russian leader Vladimir Putin invoked Jesus, Satan and transsexualism in a Kremlin ceremony on September 30 where he illegally declared parts of Ukraine as Russian territory. This followed the sham annexation referendums in Russian-occupied lands in Ukraine. (RELATED: Ukraine Applies for NATO Membership as Putin Annexes 4 Territories) In his speech Putin said: “They [the West] are moving toward open satanism,” noting accurately that Western elites were teaching “sexual deviation” to children, encouraging them to change their gender. He added: “We’re fighting for historical Russia, to protect our children and grandchildren from this experiment to change their souls.” Putin cited…

ANALYSIS – A new program aimed at countering the far-left indoctrination by the Spanish-language media in the United States is taking aim at that media’s biased coverage of the migrant buses’ operations by GOP governors. The new effort by the conservative Media Research Center (MRC) is called ‘MRC Latino,’ and it is a welcome addition to the groups focusing on liberal media bias. MRC Latino notes that: Reaction from the nation’s Spanish-speaking networks to the transfer of busloads of undocumented migrants from the states of Texas and Arizona to Democrat sanctuary states and cities in the North has morphed- from on-air mockery…

ANALYSIS – With the victory of Giorgia Meloni’s conservative ‘Brothers of Italy’ party in Italy’s elections, the left-leaning establishment media is having a field day falsely calling the new government ‘far-right,’ or even ‘semi-fascist’ to use a Joe Biden term. But, like Biden’s outrageously false name-calling of Trump supporters, the media is likely wrong about Meloni, too. While her party has roots in post-WWII movements created by fascist remnants, and there are some real far-right and semi-fascist parties in Europe, Meloni’s party isn’t one of them. Meloni has also written clearly that she “does not belong to the cult of fascism.”…

ANALYSIS – I have always been a strong defender of Taiwan and harsh opponent of Communist China, and I still am. I have even proposed we drop the ‘strategic ambiguity’ about whether we would defend Taiwan against an attack from the mainland. In that sense, I’ve actually been supportive of Biden’s supposed gaffes stating we would fight for our democratic ally. (RELATED: Biden’s Latest Gaffe Claims US Will Fight China to Defend Taiwan – But That’s Not US Policy) I was also extremely encouraged by President Trump’s selling of offensive weapons to Taiwan for the first time ever, and the…
