Wearing masks in public in New York City used to be illegal, but that changed with COVID-19. Masks do make it easier to abuse target groups like Jews, and it encourages shoplifting. Unsurprisingly, the anti-Israel groups don’t want a mask ban. They say it’s fascist. A lot of these haters attacking Jews have normal and […] The post Unmasking NYC Called Fascist appeared first on www.independentsentinel.com.

A newly formed caucus formed by Democrats that promises to address “root causes” of migration around the world is founded by a trio of Democrats with a history of advocating for radical policies in the United States, including full amnesty for illegal immigrants. Called the Congressional Caucus on Global Migration, the caucus is co-chaired by three Democrat congressmen. The trio says that the caucus exists to inform Congress of the “root causes” of migration, reframing the immigration debate away from border security and towards America’s alleged role in the instability of foreign countries. “Generalized violence, civil wars, human rights violations, democratic backsliding, economic exclusion, and climate instability are just some of the current crises driving families away from their homes in search of safety and stability,” a memo from the newly-formed caucus reads. “The Congressional Caucus on Global Migration will position Congress as an effective ally to global efforts to create a safer, more equitable world where people can build the life they want and deserve at home.” While the caucus has presented itself as if it is searching for innovative ways to decrease mass illegal immigration to the United States, its leadership has advocated for policies that make illegal immigration into the United States more attractive, effectively rewarding those who illegally enter the country. One of the caucus co-chairs, Rep. Greg Casar (D-TX) boasts that he supports “a permanent end to xenophobic travel bans” and “a pathway to citizenship for the 11 million undocumented immigrants in the U.S,” a figure that some experts say severely undercounts the true number of illegal immigrants present in the country. “For far too long, our nation’s laws have denied immigrant families basic dignity and human rights,” Casar says. “I support a full overhaul of our inhumane immigration system.” The Democrat congressman has also advocated for the Biden administration to accept refugees from Gaza. There’s also Rep. Delia Ramirez (D-IL), another Democrat with a demonstrated history of advocating for illegal immigrants. Ramirez, who is married to an illegal immigrant covered by the Deferred Action Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, boasts that she has “consistently called for executive and congressional action to protect Dreamers and to provide relief to long-term undocumented immigrants across the nation.” Ramirez is also one of the leaders behind a legislative effort to offer amnesty to DACA recipients like her husband, as well as to those with Temporary Protected Status and Deferred Enforced Departure status. The third caucus leader is Rep. Sydney Kamlager-Dove (D-CA), a congresswoman who has repeatedly voted against border security measures. Kamlager-Dove voted against the Secure the Border Act, a bill that Heritage Action said “represents the strongest and most consequential border security and immigration enforcement legislation to date.” Kamlager-Dove also voted against one bill that bars illegal immigrants from voting in elections in the District of Columbia, as well as another that would require the Department of Homeland Security to deport illegal immigrants who are arrested or charged with assaulting a police officer or other first responders. The attempt from the three Democrats to reframe the immigration debate away from border security comes as the Biden administration has presided over an unprecedented increase in illegal immigration. Immigration authorities have recorded over 9.5 million nationwide encounters and 1.7 million estimated illegal immigrant gotaways during the Democrat’s presidential term. The surge in illegal immigration has been so severe that it has propelled the foreign-born population in the United States to a new all-time high of 51.6 million. Representatives Casar, Ramirez, and Kamlager-Dove did not respond to a request for comment.

Democratic governors reportedly held a private meeting on Monday to discuss President Joe Biden’s apparent feebleness and are requesting a briefing from the president himself. Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, the chairman of the Democratic Governors’ Association, organized the call. It included governors, but no members of their staffs or any representative of the White House, according to CNN host Jake Tapper. BREAKING…. Sources: Democratic governors held a call yesterday afternoon… Just governors – no staffs – no one from campaign or WH… Organized by Gov Tim Walz of Minnesota for the DGA… 1/4 — Jake Tapper (@jaketapper) July 2, 2024 “On the call Dem. governors expressed concern about what’s going on with the president,” Tapper said in a post on X. “They know if they come forward publicly with concern that likely will cause Biden to dig in more.” The White House had not reached out to any of the governors by the time of the call. Biden faces significant pressure to forgo his re-election bid after he appeared feeble and, at times, incoherent during his debate with former President Donald Trump last week. At one point, he claimed that his administration “finally beat Medicare.” The Democratic governors expressed a desire to hear from the president, seemingly so that Biden could reassure them about his health and answer questions. “There was strong sentiment that they needed to hear directly from President Biden,” Tapper said. “They are trying to set up a meeting at the WH …or via Zoom for those who can’t come…nothing is on the books yet….but WH knows of request,” Tapper continued. “Dem Govs are not coming in with any specific message– but they feel they need to hear from President Biden.” Plans for a meeting between the governors and the White House are moving forward, though a date has yet to be set, according to CNN. The president has faced widespread criticism over his debate performance, but Democrats are more split on how to recover from it. Former Rep. Tim Ryan (D-OH) has said that Biden should step aside and allow his vice president, Kamala Harris, to become the Democratic nominee for president. Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA), former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), and others have said that Biden should continue and that fears over the debate are overblown.

A senior Biden administration official reportedly said this week that the president is “not a pleasant person to be around” at work and that people are genuinely terrified of him. The remarks come as President Joe Biden has faced widespread calls to step down following his disastrous debate against former President Donald Trump last week. The senior official told POLITICO that Biden’s staff has to withhold briefing him on specific matters likely to cause him to erupt in anger. “It’s like, ‘You can’t include that, that will set him off,’ or ‘Put that in, he likes that,’” said one senior administration official. “It’s a Rorschach test, not a briefing. Because he is not a pleasant person to be around when he’s being briefed. It’s very difficult, and people are scared s**tless of him.” “He doesn’t take advice from anyone other than those few top aides, and it becomes a perfect storm because he just gets more and more isolated from their efforts to control it,” the person added. The report said that those who are shielding Biden from having the “tough conversations” that need to occur include first lady Jill Biden and his sister, Valerie Biden Owens. The report comes after veteran investigative journalist Carl Bernstein told CNN on Monday that sources told him Biden’s debate performance on Thursday was part of an ongoing pattern of the president showing signs of cognitive decline. “They are adamant that what we saw the other night, the Joe Biden we saw, is not a one-off, that there have been 15-20 occasions in the last year and a half, when the president has appeared somewhat as he did in that horror show that we witnessed,” Bernstein said. “And what’s so significant is the people that this is coming from, and also how many people around the president are aware of such incidents, including some reporters, incidentally, who, who have witnessed some of them.” He said that the people he spoke to have worked very closely with Biden for many years and that they “say that in the last six months particularly, there has been a marked incidence of cognitive decline and physical infirmity.” One specific example he mentioned happened last year at a Four Seasons hotel where Biden spoke at a fundraiser. “He started at the podium and then he became very stiff, according to the people there as if it were almost a kind of rigor mortis,” he said. “And he became very stiff and a chair had to be brought for him to do the latter part of the event.” At the end of the segment, Bernstein seemed to imply that the White House’s physician report on Biden’s health was dishonest and that information was being concealed. “I mean, obviously, it’d be great if we could have real doctor’s reports from both candidates,” he said. “Well, that’s not gonna happen.”
