Illegal Immigration Is Killing Small Towns


Dementia Joe’s disastrous presidency can’t end soon enough. While he’s busy offering clemency to child rapists and murderers (and teasing the prospect of pardons for the lawfare tyrants who tormented his political adversaries these miserable last four years), his chief operating officer handling the Democrats’ suicidal open borders policy — Department of Homeland (in)Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas — is preoccupied with shielding a million more foreign nationals from future deportation.  This extra protection for Venezuelans, El Salvadorans, Ukrainians, and Sudanese is in addition, of course, to the lawless Biden regime’s ongoing criminal conspiracy to aid and abet international drug smugglers, sex slavers, and black market crime syndicates by resettling millions of illegal aliens (cartel “cargo”) across the United States.  If the Biden White House really wants to insulate itself from the consequences of its own criminality, it will need to issue thousands of additional pardons for its closest friends (and America’s enemies) in the next few days.

Human trafficker Mayorkas has to be one of the most vile demons in a Democrat den brimming with evil spirits.  The DHS devil helped the Chinese Communist Party kill Americans with fentanyl and looked the other way as a half-million or more young children were imported as chattel and sexual playthings for the country’s most repugnant Hell-bound deviants.  Yet the execrable pedophile-enabler never missed an opportunity to stand before cameras with a fiendish smile and defame as “racists” those who object to his criminal depravity.  Mayorkas — who made America only less secure while being charged with an obligation to do the opposite (a default in duty common among the Biden regime’s “America Last” fifth column) — spent his time in office ensuring that Americans are more likely to be the victims of rape, murder, robbery, and other violence.

While the deadly repercussions of the Biden-Mayorkas open borders madness will haunt us for decades, there are countless heartbreaking stories that remain unreported due to the moral limitations of our cowering, censorship-prone, incurious press.  Sanctuary cities’ open invitations to and “free” handouts for foreign nationals are attractive nuisances that have drawn criminal illegal aliens from around the world, but those who follow Democrats’ siren song across our borders and into the homeland do not remain in Democrat-run cities.  

Often the same Democrat mayors who publicly encourage illegal border crossings with their pro-amnesty virtue-signaling on TV secretly conspire with the cartels’ most valuable employee, Mayorkas, to bus their human cargo to unsuspecting towns across the country.  The end result is that tens of thousands of communities that never voted to break federal laws or facilitate human trafficking have nonetheless become dumping grounds for Democrats’ cynical efforts to profit from human misery — not only by cashing checks from campaign donors with vested interests in illegal immigration but also by flooding reliably Republican precincts with enough mail-in-ballot-wielding foreigners to help Democrats rig and “win” elections.

While Democrats pocket cash and “votes” by aiding those who wish our country harm, little towns across America bear the brunt of that harm in untold ways.  It’s hard enough for large metropolitan police forces to handle the ever-changing landscape of transnational gang wars when Democrat politicians resettle competing criminal factions into already contested urban neighborhoods.  How are small towns and rural counties across America supposed to handle such complexities?  

When you’re policing an area twice the size of Manhattan with only a handful of law enforcement officers, violent criminal organizations almost always have the upper hand.  At least when the American frontier was pushing farther West, a sheriff knew the tribes and settlements in his immediate vicinity.  Today it is next to impossible to know which transnational network is up to no good at any given time.  Jurisdictions with relatively few resources are increasingly tasked with interdicting weapons, drugs, and other well-funded black market operations.  Biden-Mayorkas open borders have turned once-peaceful parts of the country into hunting grounds for vicious animals who do not worry about leaving a trail of dead bodies.  The Wild West is back, but multinational conglomerates finance all the outlaws obscenely well.

When immigrants from around the world arrive (legally or not) in an American city, someone working for the municipal government speaks their language.  More often than not, there is a local community with similar backgrounds who can assist them in adjusting to their new surroundings.  School programs and neighborhood associations help immigrants acclimate to American society.  When Biden and Mayorkas transport illegal immigrants across the country and drop them off in small towns without warning, the experience is jarring.

Little towns with little budgets don’t have the resources to handle immigrants who lack any connection to the local community.  They don’t have the teachers necessary to address language barriers.  Because Uniparty politicians have spent the last thirty years outsourcing their blue-collar jobs to the very nations from which so many immigrants are now fleeing, most small towns no longer have the industrial and manufacturing opportunities that would have once provided destitute immigrants places to work. 

Remember when politicians promised Americans that “free trade” deals would create so many new jobs overseas that illegal immigration into the United States would all but disappear?  That was another foreseeable lie from the gang of criminals running D.C.  Instead, we lost all the best dirty jobs here at home, endangered national security by sacrificing our industrial self-sufficiency, and find ourselves today with more illegal immigrants than we ever had previously.

After the federal government assists international cartels with their human smuggling operations by transporting illegal immigrants across the country, penniless foreigners find themselves deposited in towns whose locations they could never find on a map.  Nobody is around who speaks their language.  Nobody is around to help them navigate American culture.  No jobs are available to keep them busy.  These government-engineered crises are humanitarian disasters for the locals and the immigrants alike.  

Of course, if any local officials dare to point out these obvious problems, they are quickly added to the federal government’s “enemies list” and given extra scrutiny from Merrick Garland’s Department of (in)Justice and Chris Wray’s Gestapo FBI.  The Biden-Mayorkas crime syndicate relishes any opportunity to impose federal supervision over local government.

This federal attack on local self-determination is, in fact, the cruelest part of the Biden-Mayorkas regime’s lawless mass migration initiative.  American towns have traditionally reflected the gathering of likeminded settlers over the course of America’s brief history.  Most towns west of the Mississippi River have been around for only a century and a half or less.  Their origins might be traced to old forts or trading posts or railroad camps, but they became communities when some collection of early Americans decided to stop moving and settle down.  You can see this in how certain churches sit at each town’s center or how certain customs from various heritages are still enjoyed during town holidays.  Unlike anywhere else on the planet, people with similar worldviews and historic connections found in America a vast continent where they could build their own distinct communities.  

Both the Constitution and Americans’ shared culture embrace the freedom of all Americans to move from one community to the next until they find a natural home.  Yet the associated right of Americans to build towns that reflect their values and commitments has never been so under attack as it is today.  Democrats accuse towns of being too Christian, too middle class, or too white.  They put on their “central planner” hats and remake entire communities into the multicultural Utopias they prefer.  In the name of “diversity,” they destroy Americans’ self-determination.  Seeding illegal immigrants into thousands of small towns across the country is just another expedient way of erasing American history.  It must end.

Greenland: A Reminder of Why Trump was Elected


I knew supporting President Trump would be unpopular here in my adopted country of Denmark, but that was before he made his recent Greenland remarks and the public relations visit of his son to Greenland.

Since then I have been on full defense mode as my Danish friends are rediscovering their roots in the Denmark/Greenland relationship and finding their patriotism for the commonwealth of the realm or as it is in Danish,rigsfællesskab. There is nothing like questioning another's motives to get in touch with one's own deeply embedded but long neglected feelings.

That said, back in August I wrote an article on why Americans would prefer Trump as their choice for president. I got quite a few comments from the hardcore nay-sayers here after an article I wrote was published in a popular U.S. website and then picked up and spread throughout the Internet.

That made me realize that I was on to something, because whenever the haters come out, you know you've touched a nerve or stumbled onto the truth. As the months wore on, the criticism subsided, probably because of the Left's confidence that their candidate was going to trounce Trump in November. No matter the reason, I was pretty much left alone to write more introspective think pieces, some of which I translated into Danish which made their way into the Danish papers. That's the good news.

The bad news is that the hardcore critics have only intensified their criticism of Trump.

As we move ever closer to inauguration day, the political SWAT teams, which include most of America's media, have re-grouped and are busy hatching their plans to take Trump down. We know their playbook well. It includes character assassination complete with lying, exaggeration and planting stories on social media, protesting in the streets, doxxing Trump appointees and opposing their nominations in the Senate hearings and, of course, a full-scale mobilization of the Deep State (entrenched civil servants whose modus operandi has been to slow walk regulations they consider antithetical to their beliefs).

Regrettably, such is the state of American politics today. It is eat or be eaten, strike first and hard and rally the troops around you... and, of course, get them to donate massive amounts of money to the cause of toppling Trump and winning back the House in 2026.

Now that the shock of losing the White House and both houses of Congress has settled in, the Left and their progressive Praetorian Guard have emerged from their profound state of grief and sadness and are joining forces to fight the "orange man" in Churchillian fashion ("We shall fight him by land, we shall fight him by sea; we shall fight him in the air, until with God's help, we have rid the Earth of his shadow and liberated its people from his yoke."). Obviously, Churchill was referring to Hitler, but since America's Left views Trump as Adolf's reincarnation, it will apply.

In a few short days, Donald J. Trump will take the oath of office for the second time, but before he does he has seen fit to throw down a few gauntlets and in the process anger a few allies.

Among them are the Danish people and many European leaders who have come out and questioned the president-elect's motives and his rationality when it comes to the "Greenland question." I'm not going to defend either Trump's actions or those of European leaders or their citizenry. However, given the extreme importance of the current state of affairs with the soon-to-be 47th president's pronouncements on Greenland and the Panama Canal, I felt it right to pen a few words about just why Americans elected him in order to build on my earlier article about why Americans liked him.

I think the reasons can be broken down into seven basic ones.

Reason one is, quite simply, the American people's unshakable sense of self-preservation. Eight years of Barack Obama's largely do-nothing blathering and four years of Joe Biden's ideological meddling made Americans realize deep down in the marrow of their bones that it was time for a strong leader who spoke directly if not always with a firm grip on the facts. Every tribe, whether primitive or highly advanced, knows that it must choose strong leaders who have their best interests at heart and who will protect them when threatened. Americans are well aware of the concept after throwing off  British rule by revolution.

Reason two is loss of faith in Americans' institutions and a firm belief that the Left has been abusing the Right's willingness to give the Obama and Biden administrations the "benefit of the doubt" regarding their professed love of country as they proceeded to try to reshape the country's very culture with forced DEI (diversity, equity and inclusion) and critical race theory, allowing men in women's sports, radical multi-genderism, etc.

Reason three is growing secularism. While it is true that membership in organized religion is waning in America, faith in God or a higher power is not. Trump knows that and he also knows that because the U.S. is largely a Christian nation he will be forgiven for his many transgressions (hate the sin, love the sinner). Americans saw the persecution of their religious brothers and sisters under the Obama and Biden administrations. Remember the Little Sisters of the Poor and how the Obama government pursued them and threatened them with $70 million in fines for their religious refusal to provide insurance coverage for contraceptives? And many Americans remember how parishioners' participation in religious services were opposed by elements of the Biden Administration and by certain states' governors during the COVID lockdowns.

Reason four is the economy. Inflation robbed many Americans of their buying power, and the Biden administration did little to correct the situation which they helped create. Just a few hours after being sworn in, Joe Biden cancelled government support for the Keystone XL pipeline, an action which resulted in a surge in transportation costs which were passed along to American consumers throughout the supply chain.

Reason five is something I wrote about in my book, "Culture held hostage" which describes a full-on frontal assault on traditional American values and a manufactured phony race accusation that stated that "America is systemically racist," something that the majority of Americans knew to be false but kept hearing from Biden officials and the Left in general, not to mention the media and academia.

Reason six is something that even the Left is slowly beginning to acknowledge, and that is that the country's borders were purposely left open to immigrants who claimed political asylum at unofficial crossing points and were allowed to remain in the U.S. instead of being sent back across the southern border. The system of protecting Americans was jettisoned and replaced with one that put immigrants first. Americans had simply had enough and demanded their border be secured by a new president.

Reason seven is probably the least important on many Americans' minds, but I would wager that it existed in many of them, even if farther down the list. I'm speaking of foreign policy and the rejection of the Left's belief that America should be global first and domestic, second, something most Americans know cannot happen because of our constitutional obligation to protect America's interests at home and abroad.

Now we come to the problem of today. Will the U.S. and the Trump administration succumb to a desire to pursue a policy of "new territorialism" ahead of its own domestic security? Can the new administration walk that fine line of separating what looks like imperialism from a position of shoring up democracy and protecting an area of the world that is now on everybody's radar? I'm speaking of course of the relationship between Denmark, the U.S. and the Greenlandic people, a front-burner issue here in Denmark.

Granted, this is not the Cuban Missile Crisis, nor is it the bifurcation of East and West Germany. Neither is it the Louisiana Purchase nor the sale of the Danish West Indies. The Greenland and Panama Canal issue is, however, a major test for the Trump administration and will determine what America's true global ambitions are and will show the world how it will deal with allies as well as tyrants. Now is the time for clear heads, outstretched hands and earnest diplomacy.



It Might Be Time to Resurrect This House Committee...But the Left Will Totally Melt Down


The southern border of the United States has been open for four years. Millions of criminal aliens have poured into the country—terrorists are here. We had an ISIS-affiliated human smuggling ring operating within our borders, thanks to Joe Biden’s failed immigration policies. To boot, we also have domestic enemies, academics who have taken our higher learning institutions hostage, turning them into reservoirs of recruitment for radical Islamic terrorists. We need to resurrect the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) to get to the bottom of this.

I know its mandate and responsibilities were transferred to the House Judiciary Committee in 1975, but I separated them again. Staff it separately and have some of the most hardcore conservative Republicans investigate academia and anywhere the cancerous progressive left has infected with its propaganda. First and foremost, the pro-Hamas nonsense. Get every college and university president who allowed these antisemitic hooligans to take over college campuses. How deep does the hatred of Jews go at these institutions? Are they brainwashing their student bodies to hate America and supporting causes that threaten our national security?

Who are these people, and what are they doing? At George Mason University, we had two separate incidents of pro-Hamas students getting busted for plotting acts of terror. Abdullah Ezzeldin Taha Mohamed Hassan, a freshman, got arrested over the holiday for conspiring with an undercover federal agent to attack the Israeli general consulate in New York. That dovetails off the Chana sisters, who got arrested for having pro-terror flags, scores of guns, and ammunition, along with foreign passports.

Jena and Noor Chanaa of the school’s Students for Justice in Palestine chapter were initially investigated for acts of vandalism against George Mason’s student center. A search warrant was obtained when police found these other items, including Hezbollah flags and other paraphernalia that called for the death of America and Jews. The sisters have since been banned from campus. They deserve to rot in Guantanamo Bay. 

We have terror operatives among us, and they must be exposed, uprooted, deported, or imprisoned, depending on the charges. This isn’t a Red Scare mentality. These people have already committed acts of terror against us. There was an ISIS terror attack in New Orleans on New Year’s Day. This is not a matter of free speech or persecuting people for merely being communists, which is not a crime. Still, when you plot to murder Americans and overthrow the government for, in this circumstance, supporting the State of Israel, it’s a matter of national security. 

You can hate Israel. You can be antisemitic. Those are heinous views, but they are not crimes. You shouldn’t expect many job interviews or economic opportunities unless you’re a Hamas operative. Still, when you weaponize those viewpoints to engage in a campaign of terror and death against innocent civilians, it’s no longer about the First Amendment. And far too often, these people who espouse hatred of Israel are also plotting to kill Americans. 

Re-establish HUAC or have the House Judiciary Committee do it—I don’t care; get these college kids and presidents who have been caught at these pro-Hamas gatherings so we can get to the bottom of what they know and whether they threaten our way of life. 



Trump, in an Astonishing and Historic Personal Victory, Has Defeated the Press and Exposed Its Mendacity

 Conrad Black

Even his opponents are acknowledging that the president-elect has executed the greatest political comeback in American history and has demonstrated extraordinary courage and tactical political skill.

There have been 59 inaugural addresses from the 40 men who have been elected president of the United States, and the only ones that are remembered even by historically minded people are both the inaugural addresses of Abraham Lincoln, “We must not be enemies,” and “With malice toward none;” Franklin D. Roosevelt’s first, “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself;” and John F. Kennedy’s “Ask not what your country can do for you.”

There have been a slightly smaller number of farewell addresses from outgoing presidents but only George Washington’s warning against “entangling alliances,” and Dwight Eisenhower’s concern about the military-industrial complex are widely remembered.  We will get one of each in the next week.

Given the ethical frailties and the policy errors of the Biden administration, cautionary words about what the nation should look out for in the years ahead might be somewhat implausible as parting advice, especially if they were the familiar fatuous pieties about the dangers of making America great again.

In the rancorous and disappointing circumstances of the end of his regime, the country would probably be relatively appreciative if President Biden took a leaf from the book of President Lyndon Johnson when he left office at the height of the Vietnam War in 1969 and gave a generous reminiscence about his 37 years in Washington, rising from a congressional gallery doorman all the way up what Benjamin Disraeli called “the greasy pole.”

Mr. Biden has been a Washington fixture for more than 50 years and such an address might help close the book on lawfare, the less distinguished activities of the Biden family, and the nasty controversies of the last four years, and focus usefully on the concept of public service. Mr. Biden has never been a spellbinder and as he departs office his best bet may be to play to the strengths of his great experience and amicable personality. Most people will wish him well.

The return of President Trump is naturally a vastly different event, a vindication certainly, and one where the world will be listening closely to ascertain whether the returning president’s mood is vindictive, triumphalist, or suffused with his recent and very possibly well-founded predictions of a new “Golden Age” for America.

The wars in Ukraine and the Middle East and the unusually rancorous tenor of American political discourse in the last eight years, in which Mr. Trump assaulted the bipartisan soft left and, as he claimed, excessively elitist consensus and was outrageously persecuted and defamed as having Nazi tendencies contributed to the greatest climates of political acrimony since the Vietnam-Watergate era, if not the bottom of the Great Depression, or even the Civil War.

In the almost miraculous manner that American elections can achieve by evoking a huge number of intense controversies to a single question determined this year by 155 million voters, with no significant allegations of electoral irregularities, the atmosphere in the country has already in the two months since the election evolved to cautious hopefulness from anger and anxiety.

All well-adjusted people prefer to be hopeful than angry and a great deal of the absurdly and unjustly exaggerated criticism of Trump was based on the false theory that he is a dangerous man who incites and enjoys violence, although the claims of his first term that he was a racist and a misogynist have ceased: evaporated in the conspicuous absence of a scintilla of supporting evidence.

It would be out of character and a jolting change of pace if Trump were suddenly to proclaim that with his return to the White House, all is well and he has metamorphosed into a beaming Pollyanna. A positive recitation of his policy goals, upbeat but without the hyperbole that often comes naturally to a quality Manhattan developer, would be another long step toward disarming, and even shaming the serried ranks of his rabid media critics.

Trump has defeated the press and exposed the traditionally most influential media outlets as so dishonest and unprofessional that they have infected and corroded their own franchises and squandered the trust that the majority of Americans formally placed in them. The returning president, in an astonishing and historic personal victory over great odds in a partially rigged competition, has won that competition and rubbed the noses of his media enemies in their own mendacity.

If he were to continue his post-electoral policy of jovially rising above past antagonism and boldly striking out on a path of determined and plausible optimism, seeking to subsume past discord into a consensus for progress though not, in current parlance, “progressive,” it would disarm his remaining critics. It would greatly encourage the millions of people who overcame some misgivings about Trump as much from reservations about the alternative as from conviction that he is the best possible candidate.                        

Even most of his opponents acknowledge that Trump has executed the greatest political comeback in American history and has demonstrated extraordinary courage and determination and tactical political skill. Although it was a reasonably close election, because he was so heavily outspent and faced such wall-to-wall bigoted hostility from the national political press, his victory has been as brilliant as the greatest landslides of FDR (1936), LBJ (1964), Nixon (1972), and Reagan (1984). 

Mr. Trump is not a great orator like Lincoln or Roosevelt or Reagan, but he is a formidable political leader and executive and a strong, positive, but sober message this Inauguration Day will give his second administration the excellent launch it deserves.

The TRUTH Behind the TikTok Ban – Censorship

 The TikTok ban is a complete disregard for the rights and freedoms of the American people. 

The ban is NOT about national security, but rather, the final attempt to prevent the people from connecting on an uncensored platform without backdoor government censorship. The law in question goes beyond TikTok as the government will only permit social platforms based in the US, therefore controlling the narrative and information the people can receive.

It is not about privacy from the Chinese government. TikTok is not even available in mainland China as their version is heavily censored. TikTok is a subsidiary of ByteDance, a private company that is not owned by the Chinese government. About 60% of the company is owned by institutional investors, 20% is owned by the founder, and the other 20% is owned by employees. ByteDance has five board members and three of them are American. Their headquarters are in Singapore and Los Angeles, and they have 7,000 employees in the US.

Congress has been unable to comprehend that TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew is Singaporean and not a member of the Chinese Communist Party or even Chinese. Unbelievable.

Over 170 million Americans currently use TikTok. TikTok contributed $24.3 billion to the US economy in 2023, with 2024 estimates coming in higher. The majority of that money comes from 6 MILLION SMALL BUSINESSES that rely on TikTok to generate sales. Those 7 million businesses compose 20% of ALL BUSINESSES IN THE US.

Media outlets claim the Supreme Court is strongly siding with Congress, but that is simply not the case. The Supreme Court questioned whether this new law would infringe on the First Amendment. Government claims it is about national security and data. Yet, Chinese-owned online stores are allowed to operate in the US, for example, and they compile user data. Certain stores like SHEIN collect user’s social media data as well. Lawyers for TikTok believe they are being singled out because the people are posting content on the app, therefore, exercising their 1A rights.

(RFK discussed the potential ban back in 2023. EVERY LIBERTY WE SURRENDER IS IN THE NAME OF NATIONAL SECURITY)

Government claims that the Chinese could influence the content to influence the American people. In that case, the concern is truly the content creation and not the data collection.

It is OK when the US government collects your data without warning. Mark Zuckerberg has been lobbying to ban TikTok for years. He permitted the establishment to use META/Facebook as a massive propaganda tool to influence politics and the overall narrative. The government was permitted to use his app to silence the people instantaneously.

It is of no coincidence that the ban will take place one day before Donald Trump takes office. Trump had asked the Supreme Court to hold off on the ruling until he had time to sort things out. Simply put, you cannot take away the circus before the people can afford bread. People cannot afford basic living essentials, and the government is prioritizing taking away one of the last forms of free entertainment and education that the people have left. Countless readers of this blog have sent me videos over the years of on-the-ground footage of events that the media fails to cover. People may speak freely on TikTok and that threatens the establishment.

We are not so different from North Korea. Our government is taking extreme measures to censor our ability to connect with others and share information. The government tells us what is real and false. “Misinformation” is the information that goes against the current narrative. We are not to question our leaders. The US market is only a fraction of TikTok’s international audience and it may not be in their best interest to sell. It also seems as if the current CEO would rather have his platform go dark for US users than allow Washington to use his platform as yet another propaganda tool.
