Immigration Gone Wild

A border abandoned and laws ignored have turned public frustration into a sweeping backlash that now threatens even legal immigration.

 

By Victor Davis Hanson      December 8, 2025

It is hard now even for Democrats to defend illegal immigration, given that the Biden administration allowed in more than 10 million entrants. Among them were an estimated 500,000 criminals. No one believes that was wise or should ever be repeated.

Worse, the message went out that there would be few, if any, deportations and no real ICE kinetic activity beyond the border.

The world’s poor, sick, both law-abiding and criminal, young and old, understood that anyone could now enter the U.S. at will. Deterrence and legality were lost.

“Neuroscientists who stand up and say ‘we have souls’ are few and far between,” says pediatric neurosurgeon Dr. Michael Egnor.
“But when you look carefully at the neuroscience—the best neuroscience over the past century—it clearly points to the existence of the soul and to the existence of aspects of our mind that don’t come from the brain.”
Egnor himself started off as a materialist and atheist. But 40 years and more than 7,000 brain surgeries later, he concluded that reason and free will do not reside in the brain. In this episode, he reveals what he’s found.
“Neuroscience is just fundamentally wrong in a lot of ways … because of the materialist bias in neuroscience. We can’t get away from this machine analogy, [but] we’re not machines, and we don’t work like machines work. And there’s overwhelming evidence in neuroscience for the existence of a soul,” he says.
Dr. Egnor is a professor of neurosurgery and pediatrics at Stony Brook University, a senior fellow at the Discovery Institute, and the co-author of the book “The Immortal Mind: A Neurosurgeon’s Case for the Existence of the Soul.”

Iran’s Regime Is on Its Knees — Why for God’s Sake Revive It?

by Majid Rafizadeh


December 6, 2025

  • The European Union is reportedly preparing to sit down with Iran to negotiate on its nuclear program — again.
  • On the surface, this international charm offensive may appear to be a constructive effort toward dialogue, but a dryer analysis suggests that such negotiations risk handing a monumental victory to a vicious regime that is vulnerable and weak — and rabidly opportunistic. By offering Iran another platform for legitimacy, the EU and the UN are shoring up a monumentally brutal regime at a time when, for the West’s own good, it should be applying pressure, not extending a hand.
  • By granting legitimacy to a regime that represses its own citizens, the EU and UN disgrace themselves as well as betraying those Iranians fighting for basic human rights.
  • The efforts by the EU and the IAEA to resume talks with Iran are misguided and, frankly, dangerous. Iran’s regime apparently does not see a need for reforming or have the slightest intention of doing so.

NEW BOOK – THE TWO FBIs: THE BRAVERY AND BETRAYAL

This book by Nicole Parker, a former FBI agent, sounds fascinating !   Nancy

The Two FBIs: The Bravery and Betrayal I Saw in My Time at the Bureau Kindle Edition

by Nicole Parker (Author)  Format: Kindle Edition

Two of Nicole Parker’s colleagues were murdered while executing a search warrant on a dangerous suspect with no SWAT support. Meanwhile, the FBI sent SWAT for those charged with January 6 misdemeanors.

Special Agent Parker witnessed an internal war between what she refers to as the two FBIs – “FBI 1” and “FBI 2.” While FBI 1 was comprised of honest, unbiased employees dedicated to keeping all Americans safe, FBI 2 used their law enforcement power to push their personal political and social agendas. Lowering hiring standards, unequally enforcing laws, and aggressively going after perceived political or social enemies became commonplace, and it seemed unstoppable.

Through the lens of her life story, Parker chronicles the takeover of the bureau. The Two FBIs tells how Parker left her job in finance to serve her country. Her faith carried her through as she stared evil in the face on a daily basis while investigating the most heinous crimes.

Over time, FBI 2 seemed to be winning the battles, but Parker was adamant it would not win the war. After over a dozen years of service, she chose to leave the Bureau. FBI 1 warriors believe drastic changes and accountability are necessary in order to return the FBI to its greatness and restore the trust of the American people.

Filled with electrifying stories of violent crime takedowns and heart-wrenchingly tragic investigations, as well as shocking revelations about the administrative state shackling patriotic heroes, The Two FBIs will provide you with a new appreciation for what it takes to keep Americans secure—and how real the efforts are to cripple the brave souls who preserve our security.

Trump Rejects Maduro Request For Amnesty In Newly Disclosed Phone Call

Tyler Durden

by Tyler Durden
Sunday, Nov 30, 2025

President Donald Trump has reportedly rejected Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro’s request for broad amnesty during a newly disclosed phone conversation last week, telling Maduro and his top advisers to drop their demands and swiftly exit Venezuela as US military pressure intensifies, which has lately included an order to halt all flights in the country’s sovereign airspace.

According to people familiar with the exchange who spoke to The Wall Street Journal, Trump and Maduro discussed a sweeping amnesty plan, during which time Maduro is said to have sought blanket legal protection for himself, his senior officials, and their families. “Trump told Maduro that if he didn’t leave willingly, the US would consider other options including the use of force, according to people familiar with discussion,” WSJ wrote.

HOW A WAVE OF MUSLIM POLITICIANS CAME TO POWER ACROSS THE US

How a wave of Muslim politicians came to power across the United States

By Seth McLaughlin – The Washington Times – Friday, November 28, 2025

The 2025 election may well be remembered as a turning point for Muslim representation in American politics.

In New York City, Zohran Mamdani broke barriers by becoming the city’s first Muslim mayor-elect. In Virginia, Ghazala Hashmi’s victory in the lieutenant governor’s race marked another milestone — the first time a female Muslim candidate has won statewide office in the United States.

The numbers tell the story: Of the 76 Muslim candidates on the ballot this fall, 38 emerged victorious, according to the Council on American-Islamic Relations.

For David Dulio, political science professor at Wayne State University, the rise in Muslim leaders is part of a broader trend.

“It usually starts at the lower levels, but it’s clearly becoming more mainstream — top-of-the-ticket stuff,” he said.

The trend echoes earlier chapters in American history when other ethnic and religious minority groups — from the Italians to the Irish and the Poles — reshaped American politics and power structures.

Mr. Dulio said Muslim Americans are now doing the same: injecting different perspectives into old debates, over everything from foreign policy to cultural identity, and challenging the status quo.

HOW THE SOMALI REFUGEE PROGRAM CHANGED AMERICAN CITIES

How the Somali Refugee Program Changed American Cities

Tom Hennessey, X November 26, 2025
The U.S. Somali refugee program did not begin with a vote, a referendum, or even a dedicated bill in Congress. Most Americans have no idea how it actually started. Here’s the real story: Under the Refugee Act of 1980 (passed by Congress and signed by Jimmy Carter), the president alone gets to decide every year how many refugees America takes and from which countries. No new law required, no public vote, no ballot measure.
George H.W. Bush used that authority in Fiscal Years 1992 and 1993 to open a small Priority-2 category for Somalis “of special humanitarian concern.” The first arrivals (a few hundred) came in 1992–1993, right at the tail end of his presidency. Almost nobody in America noticed. Then the numbers grew quietly under Clinton, Bush Jr., Obama, Trump (who slowed but never stopped it), and Biden: – 1990–1994: ~4,000 – 1995–2005: ~45,000 – 2006–2016: ~70,000 – 2017–2024: another ~60,000+
Official refugee total since 1990: ≈ 180,000+ But that’s only the beginning. Chain migration (family reunification) exploded the real number. Once a refugee is resettled, they can petition for: – Spouses & minor children (immediate family – no numerical limit) – Parents (again, no numerical limit) – Adult sons/daughters, siblings (subject to quotas but still massive over time) Because Somali families are large and the 1980 Act + later laws
(IMMACT 90, etc.) are extremely generous with derivative family, the actual ethnic Somali population in the United States is now estimated between 450,000 and 700,000 (State Department, Census ACS, Migration Policy Institute, and Somali community estimates all put it in that range). The most commonly cited academic/community figure today is ≈ 500,000–550,000 Somali-Americans, meaning chain migration multiplied the original refugee number by roughly 3×.
Largest concentrations: – Minneapolis–St. Paul: 100,000–150,000 – Columbus, Ohio: 70,000–100,000 – Seattle area: 40,000–60,000 – San Diego, Nashville, Lewiston (ME), and dozens of other cities now have five- and six-figure Somali neighborhoods. All of this happened without a single national vote, referendum, or specific congressional act aimed at Somalis. Congress handed the keys to the executive branch in 1980, and every administration since — Republican and Democrat — has kept the door open and the chain-migration pipeline flowing.
That’s how half a million people from one of the most clan-divided, war-torn nations on earth ended up reshaping entire American cities — quietly, legally, and with essentially zero direct democratic input.

Suspect in National Guard shooting worked with U.S. in Afghanistan and left during U.S. withdrawal

By Matt Delaney   Washington Times   November 27, 2025

An Afghan refugee who worked with the U.S. military in his homeland is accused of opening fire on two National Guard troops in the nation’s capital after having driven across the country to launch the ambush, officials said.

FBI Director Kash Patel said suspected shooter Rahmanullah Lakanwal, 29, traveled from his home in Bellingham, Washington, to carry out his “heinous act of terrorism” that critically wounded West Virginia National Guard troops who were on assignment from West Virginia.

Prosecutors charged him with assault with intent to kill and gun-related offenses, while Army Staff Sgt. Andrew Wolfe, 24, and Spc. Sarah Beckstrom, 20, cling to life following Wednesday’s ambush.

Mr. Patel said his agency is investigating evidence of terrorism linked to Mr. Lakanwal, who came to America after the U.S. military pulled out of Afghanistan in 2021.

CIA Director John Ratcliffe said Mr. Lakanwal had partnered with the U.S. government and the CIA in Kandahar, a Taliban stronghold, before the withdrawal.

The suspect was in one of the CIA’s “Zero Units,” a shadowy paramilitary group of Afghan natives who conducted strikes on Taliban assets, according to The New York Times.

Human rights organizations said Zero Units were known for their brutality and referred to the crews as “death squads.” At least one Afghan national was denied entry into the States because of his time as a CIA-backed combatant.

J6er REJECTS PRESIDENTIAL PARDON

J6 Defendant REJECTS Presidential Pardon to Expose DOJ Corruption and Judicial Conspiracy Against Trump Supporters: “I do not need clemency, by accepting it, I absolve the sins of the state”

Published  November 12, 2025  by jan6

Daniel Michael Morrissey, a January 6th defendant, Army veteran, and MBA holder, has become one of the most defiant figures in the J6 saga, turning down a presidential pardon from President Trump, choosing instead to blow the lid off what he calls “a coordinated fraud upon the court” involving his former defense attorney, the Department of Justice (DOJ), and even his presiding judge, U.S. District Judge Reggie B. Walton.

Morrissey, a patriotic American who found himself ensnared in the Biden DOJ’s relentless witch hunt against Trump supporters, alleges that exculpatory evidence proving Capitol Police induced entry into the building was deliberately suppressed, leading to his wrongful conviction and plunging him into homelessness while he fights to care for his elderly mother.

Morrissey’s nightmare began on that fateful day in 2021 when, like thousands of other peaceful protesters, he entered the Capitol after witnessing what he describes as police agents disengaging magnetic locks and opening the Columbus Doors, inviting the crowd inside.

Far from the violent mob the mainstream media and Democrats have painted, Morrissey insists he was there exercising his First Amendment rights, chanting “USA!” and taking a selfie that the prosecution twisted into a crime.

But the real scandal? The DOJ and his own defense attorney, Anthony Solis, allegedly conspired to bury video evidence that would have exonerated him under Brady rules, ensuring his guilty plea to a misdemeanor charge of “parading” in the Capitol.

In February 2022, Morrissey pleaded guilty to charges of “parading, demonstrating, or picketing in a Capitol building,” a decision that concluded months of legal deliberations. The other three charges were dismissed after pleading guilty.

He was sentenced to 45 days in prison, coupled with an extensive 36-month probation period. He was also mandated to pay fines and restitution.

Despite pleading guilty to certain charges related to the Capitol incident and receiving a sentence, Morrissey claimed to have found videos on public platforms like The Gateway Pundit showing police opening the doors at the exact moment of his entry. He confronted his attorney, Anthony M. Solis. Solis dismissed it, saying, “What difference does it make?”

Morrissey told The Gateway Pundit:

Here are the Brady Video(s) denied to me by my own “counsel” and the DOJ:

A Trillion-Dollar “Advantage”: How Private Insurers Are Bilking Medicare and Taxpayers

OpenTheBooks   November 19, 2025

The idea behind Medicare Advantage was simple: Pay private insurance companies to enroll elderly patients instead of forcing those over 65 to use traditional government-run Medicare. The competition between insurance companies would incentivize them to lower their premiums and offer more benefits to attract customers, saving taxpayers billions of dollars and allowing them more freedom to choose their own health insurance.

Instead, deceptive practices by the insurance industry have turned Medicare Advantage into a cash cow that costs taxpayers 22% more than traditional Medicare (an extra $83 billion per year).

Once insurance companies receive their federal subsidies, they use a tactic called “favorable selection” to seek out customers they know are unlikely to use up the entire subsidy. Then, large chunks of the expense come from “upcoding” — insurers’ tendency to exaggerate how sick their patients are to bill the government extra money.

The Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget has estimated taxpayers will spend $1 to $1.4 trillion on upcoding and favorable selection from 2024 to 2033. That’s up to $140 billion per year. There are only six federal agencies that spend that much in their entire annual budget.

How Your Private Data Is Packaged, Sold, and Deployed to Target You | Joe Weil

[RUSH TRANSCRIPT BELOW] Most Americans have little understanding of the vast amount of private data harvested from their smartphones by third parties, said Joe Weil, a former Apple product manager and the founder of Unplugged.
Where you go, who you associate with, what you like, is all easily discoverable, Weil said.
“It’s publicly available. It’s purchasable.”
What’s even worse is that the Fourth Amendment does not protect this advertising data, he said. The U.S. government, for example, does not require a warrant to access it.
Data brokers sell this data freely, and by applying just a few filters, anyone—foreign governments, intelligence services, criminal cartels—can easily triangulate it to surveil and target individual people or groups, Weil said.
“We can’t do [surveillance] in China. They can do it here, and it’s a huge vulnerability. They can easily find the people they want to take off the board—it’s mapped out from our phones,” he said.
Weil worked for 10 years at Apple in product strategy before founding Unplugged, a tech company that has built a smartphone designed to block tracking, data harvesting, and behavioral profiling at the system level.​

EXCLUSIVE: HOW TRUMP’S OWN APPOINTEES AIDED RUSSIAGATE PLOT AGAINST HIM

EXCLUSIVE:  HOW TRUMP’S OWN APPOINTEES AIDED RUSSIAGATE PLOT AGAINST HIM
By Paul Sperry  Nov 20 2025  Real Clear Investigations

When Obama administration officials manufactured U.S. intelligence tying Donald Trump to Moscow following his stunning 2016 victory, they had no idea Trump’s own political appointees would help them undermine Trump’s presidency – and his chances of reelection in 2020.

RCI’s review of recently declassified documents and exclusive interviews with former Trump officials reveals for the first time how key members of Trump’s cabinet and other appointees during his first term shrouded the previous administration’s machinations and either deliberately or inadvertently misled the public into thinking the fake Russiagate intelligence was real.

Former Special Counsel John Durham, former National Security Adviser John Bolton, former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, and former CIA Director Gina Haspel dismissed or buried evidence that cast doubt on a foundational document of the Russigate hoax – the Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) prepared in the waning days of the Obama administration.

Durham, who was appointed by Attorney General William Barr, stopped the declassification and release of key exculpatory evidence debunking the ICA on the eve of the 2020 election, which has not been reported previously.

The ICA helped frame the false narrative, which led to multiple espionage investigations that dogged Trump throughout his first term: that Russian President Vladimir Putin had authorized dirty tricks to help Trump win the 2016 election. A 2018 government review of that document, which was chiefly prepared by Obama’s CIA Director John Brennan and his National Intelligence Director James Clapper, found that its most explosive claims were based on “one scant, unclear and unverifiable fragment of a sentence from one of the substandard [intelligence] reports,” according to a recently declassified report that Trump administration and, later, Biden administration officials had helped keep locked away in a CIA vault. It also cited as supporting intelligence debunked political dirt paid for by Hillary Clinton’s campaign.

Uncovered docs show top teachers union guiding gender transitions, bashing conservatives: ‘Insane asylum’

The NEA training session is aimed at ‘dismantling systems of privilege and oppression’

Andrew Mark Miller By Andrew Mark Miller Fox News
November 20, 2025

One of the top teachers unions in the country is facing criticism over an upcoming training session that will instruct members on how to go through a gender transition at work, including best practices for using gender pronouns and combating transphobia, while also being provided with literature labeling conservative opposition as “villains.”

In a document posted on its website, the National Education Association (NEA) announced to its more than 3 million educator members a slate of training programs, including a session named “Advancing LGBTQ+ Justice,” scheduled for Dec. 2-4, 2025. The union will also hold an “Advancing Racial Justice through Union Work” on Jan. 13-15, 2026.

“Understanding this community and their issues are critical to providing support and guidance that is not only inclusive but liberating,” the NEA says about the LGBTQ+ training.

Goals of the training include establishing a “common understandings about the identities under the LGBTQ+ community umbrella,” developing a “shared understanding of the anti LGBTQ+ policy landscape and how to develop counter narratives of inclusion and equity,” deepening “skills and strategies to confront implicit bias, micro-aggressions and stereotypes in the LGBTQ+ community,” and creating “a toolset of tactics for dismantling systems of privilege and oppression as it relates to LGBTQ+ educators and students.”

THE LARGEST FUNDER OF AL-SHABAAB IS THE MINNESOTA TAXPEYER

November 21, 2025

“The Largest Funder of Al-Shabaab Is the Minnesota Taxpayer”
Some of the state’s welfare funds Ended Up In the Hands Of A Terror Group
By Ryan Thorpe and Christopher F Rufo     November 19, 2025

Minnesota is drowning in fraud. Billions in taxpayer dollars have been stolen during the administration of Governor Tim Walz alone. Democratic state officials, overseeing one of the most generous welfare regimes in the country, are asleep at the switch. And the media, duty-bound by progressive pieties, refuse to connect the dots.

In many cases, the fraud has allegedly been perpetrated by members of Minnesota’s sizeable Somali community. Federal counterterrorism sources confirm that millions of dollars in stolen funds have been sent back to Somalia, where they ultimately landed in the hands of the terror group Al-Shabaab. As one confidential source put it: “The largest funder of Al-Shabaab is the Minnesota taxpayer.”

Our investigation shows what happens when a tribal mindset meets a bleeding-heart bureaucracy, when imported clan loyalties collide with a political class too timid to offend, and when accusations of racism are cynically deployed to shield criminal behavior. The predictable result is graft, with taxpayers left to foot the bill.

If you were to design a welfare program to facilitate fraud, it would probably look a lot like Minnesota’s Medicaid Housing Stabilization Services program. The HSS program, the first of its kind in the country, was launched with a noble goal: to help seniors, addicts, the disabled, and the mentally ill secure housing. It was designed with “low barriers to entry” and “minimal requirements for reimbursement.” Nonetheless, before the program went live in 2020, officials pegged its annual estimated price tag at $2.6 million.

Costs quickly spiraled out of control. In 2021, the program paid out more than $21 million in claims. In the following years, annual costs shot up to $42 million, then $74 million, then $104 million. During the first six months of 2025, payouts totaled $61 million.
