Data from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) that was released this week show that hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens in the U.S. are serious criminals. Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-TX) released the data as Vice President Kamala Harris was set to make her first serious visit to the southern border where she is responsible for the administration’s disastrous policies that have led to more than 10 million illegal aliens pouring into the U.S. “As of July 21, 2024, there were 662,566 noncitizens with criminal histories on ICE’s national docket, which includes those detained by ICE, and on the agency’s non-detained docket,” said Patrick J. Lechleitner, Deputy Director and Senior Official Performing the Duties of the Director for ICE, in a letter to Gonzales. “Of those, 435,719 are convicted criminals, and 226,847 have pending criminal charges,” he added. The data included a chart that listed the charge, if the illegal alien was detained, and if they were convicted or had charges pending. The most disturbing stats were the number of criminals convicted of serious crimes who are not detained because of Democrat sanctuary policies, including: Arson: 792 Assault: 62,231 Burglary: 14,301 Dangerous Drugs: 56,533 Fraud: 15,979 Homicide: 13,099 Kidnapping: 2,521 Sexual Assault: 15,811 Weapon Offenses: 13,423 Gonzales said that the staggering numbers were a direct result of the Biden-Harris administration’s policies. Am I Racist?

It’s time for Washington to move past rhetoric and toward results.” “Americans deserve to feel safe in their communities,” he continued. “As an Appropriator, I will do everything in my power to ensure ICE has the resources necessary to deport noncitizens with a criminal record—this must be a priority. The Biden-Harris administration also plays a part in cleaning up the mess their failed policies have created. They have the ear of sanctuary city mayors—it’s time to encourage them to reverse course and put the safety of American citizens first.”

Two global warming protesters who threw cans of tomato soup over the glass frame of Vincent Van Gogh’s “Sunflower” painting have been sentenced to time in prison for their actions. On Friday, a London court sentenced Anna Holland, 22, and Phoebe Plummer, 23, from the activist group Just Stop Oil, to two years and 20 months in prison for their so-called protest against fossil fuels at a museum in London in 2022, CNN reported. Both Holland and Plummer were found guilty of criminal damage to the pieces of art’s gold-colored frame.  Judge Christopher Hehir blasted the two for their actions against the “cultural treasure,” which he said could have been “seriously damaged or even destroyed” by them by throwing soup on the paintings and then glueing their hands to the museum wall. The “Sunflowers” painting is valued at nearly $85 million. “Soup might have seeped through the glass. You couldn’t have cared less if the painting was damaged or not,” Hehir said in court. “You had no right to do what you did to ‘Sunflowers.’” ? BREAKING: 3 YEARS 8 MONTHS COMBINED IN PRISON FOR THROWING SOUP ⛓️ Phoebe and Anna have just been sentenced to 2 years and 20 months in prison respectively after throwing soup over the glass frame of Van Gogh’s ‘Sunflowers’. ?

Is In Theaters NOW — Get Your Tickets Here! Shortly after the sentences were handed down, more vandals from the same protest group shared a clip of three peeople  throwing cans of soup over the glass on not one but two Vincent Van Gogh paintings “in the ‘Poets and Lovers’ exhibition at the National Gallery,” per the post on X. The London judge is the same person who handed down sentences in July to five other so-called climate activists in the U.K. from Just Stop Oil or its allied group, Extinction Rebellion. The court found the vandals guilty of “conspiring intentionally to cause a public nuisance,” after it had recruited people to climb structures along the M25 — a major traffic route around London — in November 2022, the outlet noted. Hehir sentenced four out of five of the activists to four-year jail terms, while the group’s co-founder, Roger Hallam, was handed a five year sentence.

'Considerably more unsafe!'

North Carolina has removed nearly 750,000 ineligible voter records from its rolls in the past 20 months, or more than 1,200 per day, the North Carolina State Board of Elections said Thursday.  BREAKING: The North Carolina Election Board just revealed that they have removed 750,000 names from the voter rolls, including 130,000 dead people and 290,000 registrations that were duplicatesThis comes after Republicans filed a lawsuit, showing 225,000 names were unlawfully… pic.twitter.com/sU98iLraiT— George (@BehizyTweets) September 26, 2024 The election board’s announcement also says that the board follows “careful policies” to ensure that only ineligible records are removed, not those of eligible voters, and spells out the reasons why registrants are removed.   Those reasons include moving to a new location, inactive voter status, felony status, death, duplicate registration, requests to be removed, or lack of citizenship.   “North Carolina election officials should be commended for taking the steps necessary to guarantee the accuracy of the state’s voter rolls by removing individuals who have died, moved out of state, been convicted of a felony, or otherwise become ineligible to vote,” says Hans von Spakovsky, manager of the Election Law Reform Initiative and senior legal fellow at The Heritage Foundation, adding: By doing so, they are protecting the franchise of the voters of North Carolina from being diluted and offset by invalid votes. But election officials are also complying with the requirements of federal law that require states to have accurate voter registration lists.   Von Spakovsky served two years as a member of the Federal Election Commission, the agency that enforces federal campaign finance laws and oversees public funding for presidential campaigns. Von Spakovsky was also appointed to the Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity in 2017 by then-President Trump, according to The Washington Post.  The North Carolina election board’s announcement says that the most common reason why voter registrants were removed from the rolls is due to moving to another address, with nearly 290,000 registrants being removed for that reason among the more than 747,000 total. The second leading reason for removal is that some voters hold an “inactive status,” with 33% of registrants falling into that category.   An “inactive status” indicates that the registrants have skipped voting in at least two general federal elections and did not respond to their county board of election’s attempts to contact them, according to the state board.   The deaths of registrants account for more than 17% of those removed from the rolls.   The announcement of the removal of registrants comes after North Carolina residents’ complaints about voter registration forms neglecting to require a driver’s license number or the last four digits of a Social Security number, according to a late August lawsuit filed by North Carolina Republicans.   NCGOP_v._NCSBE_-_Verified_Complaint_1724443002Download The lawsuit was filed by the Republican National Committee and the North Carolina Republican Party, which said in the document that the state had failed to act on complaints about ineligible people remaining on voter rolls.  North Carolina removes 747,000 from voter rolls, citing ineligibility That’s a lot of ineligible voters removed https://t.co/lenfMv8KHL— Julio Rosa ??

Red Alert: 'Intentional' Faulty Welds During Maintenance on Our Subs and Carriers?

CNBC staff largely missed the point as they reported on a former president’s outraged response to Google bias demonstrated in an MRC study. CNBC Senior Washington Correspondent Eamon Javers responded to a Truth Social post by former President Donald Trump on the Sept. 27 edition of Power Lunch. In his post, Trump blasted Google for placing negative news stories above his campaign website, a clear example of bias exposed by MRC Assistant Editor Gabriela Pariseau. But instead of delving into Google’s bias, Javers used it as an opportunity to claim that Trump wants to control the media. “So the former president of the United States here [is] certainly trying to work the refs in terms of media coverage of himself,” Javers said.  When MRC researchers searched for “donald trump presidential race 2024,” Google topped its results with a number of articles from publications hostile to the former president. For example, stories from The New York Times, Politico and Jeff Bezos’s The Washington Post appeared before Trump’s campaign website which Google displayed as the sixth result. Not a single right-leaning news source appeared in the search results. In response, Trump lashed out at Google. “It has been determined that Google has illegally used a system of only revealing and displaying bad stories about Donald J. Trump, some made up for this purpose while, at the same time, only revealing good stories about Comrade Kamala Harris,” Trump wrote. He went on to refer to Google’s behavior as “ILLEGAL ACTIVITY” and promised to prosecute their election interference when he takes office.  After reading this post on air, Javers proceeded to ignore Google’s flagrant bias and the fact that it elevated articles from only left-leaning news sources above Trump’s website, burying it. Instead, Javers painted Trump’s concerns as primarily rooted in authoritarianism and ego. He said that Trump was “threatening to put the Department of Justice on [Google] once he's elected if they don't conform to what he wants, which is positive stories to be displayed in Google's search results.”  Wrong! The former president is complaining that people who search for his website are force-fed a group of negative articles instead. Google is burying his campaign website underneath all this bad press. This would not be the first time Google buried Trump’s campaign website. Before Google began to make users run the gauntlet of negative coverage to see Trump’s campaign website, the search engine frequently buried the former president so far down that his campaign website did not appear on the first page of results. Google did this during the Republican National Convention, ahead of the July presidential debate between Trump and Biden and when Trump was in the news due to a guilty verdict following Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s politicized prosecution of the former president.  This is just one of a myriad of ways that Google has interfered in American elections on behalf of the company’s favored candidates. In fact, Google interfered in American elections no fewer than 41 times from 2008 to 2024, including by burying 83 percent of the Republican campaign websites for the most competitive Senate races of 2022.  Conservatives are under attack!

Big Tech companies and government entities have united in an international push to control speech online and especially to control artificial intelligence (AI). The State Department announced Monday a new AI partnership with Google, Amazon, Meta, Anthropic, Microsoft, Nvidia, IBM and OpenAI. The State Department promised up to $33 million in new AI-related commitments on top of the previous $15 million in taxpayer dollars to advance the AI goals of the United Nations’ Orwellian 2030 Agenda. This week, the UN revealed a “Global Digital Compact” explicitly endorsing online censorship. The UN compact insists on “international cooperation to address the challenge of misinformation and disinformation and hate speech online.” To that end, it  “urgently” recommends that “stakeholders” call on tech companies to “enhance the transparency and accountability of their systems, including terms of service, content moderation and recommendation algorithms … to empower users to make informed choices and provide or withdraw informed consent.”  Notably, “content moderation” is a leftist catchword for censorship. According to the UN, this recommendation is drawn from two of Agenda 2030’s 17 policy proposals, also dubbed Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).  How will this look in practice? The State Department and Big Tech have a plan, it seems. The Partnership for Global Inclusivity on AI (PGIAI)—announced in a Sept. 23 State Department release which also affirmed dedication to the SDGs—will be funded by over $100 million collectively committed by the government and the tech companies. The State Department is committing up to $33 million in “Foreign Assistance” and “to promote the responsible use and governance of AI globally.”  Google is promising $120 million “to support a Global AI Opportunity Fund to make AI education and training available,” besides other hefty grants. Microsoft has assigned a whopping $12 billion for “AI data center infrastructure, connectivity, and skilling in the Global South.” The other companies will invest amounts ranging from $1 million to $45 million in various AI-related projects. The State Department press release said PGIAI has “an unwavering commitment to safety, security, and trustworthiness in AI systems,” but did not clarify how that security will be achieved. The federal agency linked to a document, titled “Risk Management Profile for Artificial Intelligence and Human Rights,” highlighting “disinformation,” a word commonly used by leftists to justify censorship. The release also emphasized the Biden-Harris administration’s dedication to the SDGs, indicating the PGIAI supports censorship. Conservatives are under attack.

NewsBusters Media Editor Bill and I are at the helm this episode as we analyze the President Biden’s appearance on ABC’s The View; we should all be so lucky to find someone who looks at us the way they looked at him. We also discuss Bill’s discovery of a disturbing trend that seems to have emerged from ABC and CNN’s coverage of a letter written by the second would-be assassin, which put a bounty on former President Trump’s head. Finally, we look at the woke mind virus that’s beginning to infest a part of our childhood. The liberal ladies of ABC’s The View and the fake Republicans professed their love to President Biden this week in a nauseating gushfest. They beclowned themselves with statements like this: “His legacy will be etched in the history books as [George] Washington, as someone who put that ego aside and put his country first. That’s definitely his legacy.” Then there was their dehumanizing and violent rhetoric against Trump, which matched their 100 percent negative coverage of him post-second assassination attempt, which we also review. On the issue of the second assassination attempt, Bill walks us through his study looking at the differences in how media outlets approached covering the would-be assassin’s letter placing a bounty on Trump’s head. ABC and CNN seemed to have a particularly disturbing obsession with it. In addition to rounding out the episode with an update on the state of the defamation suit against CNN, Bill and I lament that the woke mind virus has now made its way to Pokémon.
