PANAMA CITY—The former director of Panama’s border patrol told The Epoch Times that the United Nations’ migration agenda is behind the chaos at the U.S. southern border and that U.N. partners are making things worse instead of better. Oriel Ortega, now a security and defense consultant to Panamanian President Laurentino Cortizo, said during a Feb. 22 interview that he saw a jump in migration in 2016, at the same time that more nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) moved into Panama. That increase corresponded with the U.N.’s Global Compact for Safe, Orderly, and Regular Migration meeting in 2016. Two years later, 152 nations—including Panama—voted in favor of the compact

US voted against the compact.

Matt Gaetz said in his recent CPAC speech what most of us have been saying here. We need to cut off the money to the UN, get us out of the UN and get the UN out of America.

Governments, having destroyed all productive activities in the name of some ideology like "Global Warming", will pay their tribe, their supporters, to engage in unproductive activities. That's the cancer at the end of the universe...

Cut off money to the UN, YES. Get the UN out of the US, YES. US out of UN would be VERY stupid, very harmful. We would lose our veto of these evil plans of the UN, THAT would be dumb as hell, as then the UN would be an even bigger weapon against us.

Not only is are the UN migration agencies assisting potential illegal aliens from all over the world to travel to the USA border up through Central America and Mexico, but Biden is also allowing the UN to decide what so called “refugees” will be allowed to enter the USA through Airport and Seaport Ports of Entry each year.

After the second Trumpless debate last fall, the real Donald Trump revealed what Nikki told him in private, “‘I will never run against our great President,’ she said, ‘he has done an outstanding job.’ To which I responded, ‘How nice of you to say, Nikki,’ knowing full well that her words mean nothing. She even came to Mar-a-Lago with her family, ‘bearing gifts.’ Anyway, Birdbrain doesn’t have the TALENT or TEMPERAMENT to do the job. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!” Birdbrain. A few days later, Nikki claimed in a tweet that Trump left a birdcage outside her hotel door. No one in the press bothered to confirm her story

It is imperative to overlay what the Charles Koch network, specifically Americans for Prosperity (AFP), really represents when considering their announcement to withdraw financial support for Nikki Haley. Koch and AFP are part of the network of multinational/Wall Street entities who previously held all power in the Republican apparatus. All of the systems of the republican party apparatus were essentially controlled by a small group of big money influence makers and political interests. The corporation known as the RNC was molded over a few generations to focus on the money part of political outcomes, not the policy or ideology– the money.

Netanyahu said, “I’ve set three war goals. The first is to release the hostages. The second is to destroy Hamas. And the third is to ensure that Gaza does not pose a threat to Israel in the future. And obviously, the three are intertwined. They, they’re achieved, basically by our very effective and often heroic military operation. And also by tough negotiations, we’re combining the two and I hope it- it yields a result, but understand that unless we have total victory, we can’t have peace. We can’t leave Hamas in place.

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has called on Judge Scott McAfee to disallow as evidence cellphone records submitted by Trump lawyers suggesting she and special prosecutor Nathan Wade may have lied about when their romantic relationship began. Ms. Willis’s objection to the new evidence, which Trump attorneys say adds weight to their argument she hired her then-boyfriend for mutual financial gain in a corrupt bargain and should be disqualified, came in a Feb. 23 court filing. Former President Donald Trump’s attorneys, Steve Sadow and Jennifer Little, filed a court affidavit on Friday from a private investigator hired to obtain Mr. Wade’s and Ms. Willis’s text and voice call history.

The New York Times reports that the entire corruption case against the Biden family in the U.S. House of Representatives was dealt “a stinging setback” after special counsel David Weiss obtained this indictment against a key “whistleblower” for lying about the Bidens. The indictment alleges that Russians used this informant, who also worked for the FBI, feeding him disinformation about the Bidens supposedly accepting large payments as bribes. It is important to remember, however, that this indictment is merely an allegation. We should view it within the context of many previous allegations that, like this indictment, align with the joint government/media operation to get Trump.

Governor Gavin Newsom (D-CA) said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet The Press” that President Joe Biden’s presidency has been a “masterclass” in how to run the United States. Anchor Kristen Welker said, “There are some pretty stark numbers you are facing. Seventy-six percent of voters say they have real concerns about President Biden’s ability to serve a second term. Do you think it is responsible for Democrats to put him at the top of the ticket given these concerns?” Newsom said, “I mean, what he’s done in three years, it’s been a masterclass. Close to 15 million jobs, that’s eight times more than the last three Republican presidents combined.

And we can’t get to Net Zero—we don’t get the job done—unless agriculture is front and center as part of the solution. You just can’t continue to both warm the planet while also expecting to feed it. It doesn’t work. So, we have to reduce emissions from the food system.” What a dilemma. If we feed people, we will continue to warm the planet. If we continue to warm the planet, billions will die in 100 years from global warming because of the food we are eating now.

Pima County, Arizona, and the city of Tucson are scrambling as Biden’s border crisis continues to wreak havoc on American border states. Tucson officials are engaging in a frenzied search for a place to house illegal immigrants as federal funding comes to an end.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom thinks President Joe Biden should absolutely debate Donald Trump in the 2024 general election campaign. Biden has not yet committed to debate Trump this election cycle after the two went head-to-head multiple times in 2020. But Newsom, a top surrogate for Biden, suggested that the president is prepared to go against his predecessor and that suggestions he won't is 'pure projection.' Trump refused to participate in the primary debate this cycle because he claimed he was running as an incumbent and shouldn't have to go up against the B team.

A longtime Republican National Committee member, Henry Barbour, has introduced two resolutions for consideration by the RNC board that the Trump campaign opposes as "absurd." The first proposal would enforce the RNC by-laws that forbid the national committee from taking sides in a primary. The proposed resolution would explicitly prevent the RNC from coordinating with a campaign until one candidate has won 1215 delegates, which is the number needed for the nomination. "The Republican National Committee must serve as a neutral player in primaries," the proposal reads, pointing to RNC Rule 11. That rule states the national party shall not "contribute money or in-kind aid to any

Mary Poppins has had its age rating lifted from U to PG because it contains 'discriminatory language' - but the word in question is so obscure you may have never noticed it. The British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) now considers the 1964 tale of Julie Andrews' magical nanny to be not suitable for children to watch alone, despite the film enchanting generations of youngsters. The reclassification is due to the use of the word Hottentots. The dated term was historically used by Europeans to refer to the Khoekhoe, a group of nomadic herders in South Africa, but is now regarded as racially offensive.
