Episode 962 – A Brilliant Take!

Kamala Harris, the Border Czar, doesn’t know who she is letting into the country. The Border Patrol does and decided to tell us. Oops.

Category 4 storm Helene deals havoc on the east coast. Among all the destruction and death, one Rhoades Scholar has a reason this is happening and it ain’t global warming or whatever.

And Israel gets another big win.

Dumbass of the Day

We know This Already

According to the Daily Wire:

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.

Bad News

According to Fox News:

Dockworkers along the East and Gulf coasts have pledged to strike unless a new contract is reached by October, prompting experts to warn that higher prices and empty shelves could await consumers. 

In fact, some experts say prices could rise before year’s end, impacting goods during the critical holiday season. The dire situation arose just as consumers were beginning to experience some relief from inflation.

The International Longshoremen’s Association (ILA) is negotiating on behalf of 45,000 dockworkers at three dozen U.S. ports from Maine to Texas that collectively handle about half of the country’s seaborne imports. It warned its members are prepared to stop work if they don’t have a new contract by the Oct. 1 deadline.

Another Big Win

Here is what’s happening between Israel and Hezbollah:

  • The Israel Defense Forces carried out a precision air strike on Friday targeting Hezbollah Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of the Iranian-backed terrorist group, in the suburbs of Beirut, Lebanon.
  • The strike targeted Hezbollah’s central headquarters in the middle of the suburb of Dahieh, said IDF spokesman R. Admiral Daniel Hagari, who noted that it was “intentionally built under residential buildings” to use civilians as human shields.
  • It is believed that several other top Hezbollah, as well as potentially officials with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, were also killed in the attack.
  • Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei called emergency meetings late on Friday night.
  • The Associated Press id mourning the loss of the terrorist leader.
    • The original headline was posted on Friday, and it read, “Charismatic and shrewd: A look at longtime Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah.” But Saturday morning, the headline had already been edited to read simply, “Who is longtime Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah?”
  • Iranian-backed Houthi terrorists in Yemen fired dozens of missiles and drones at U.S. Navy ships this week after Israel killed Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah in an airstrike on Friday afternoon.
    • No U.S. ships were hit, no sailors were hurt, and it appears as though all of the projectiles that were fired were either shot down or missed.
    • They also fired on Israel.
  • The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) punched back at Houthi terrorists in Yemen on Sunday after the Iranian-backed terrorist group fired missiles at Israel the last two days.
    • The IDF said a statement: The Israel Air Force “struck military targets belonging to the Houthi terrorist regime in Yemen in response to their recent attacks against Israel. The targets included power plants and a seaport, which were used by the Houthis to transfer Iranian weapons to the region, in addition to military supplies and oil.”
  • It’s only going to be a matter of time before Israel hits Iran.

This Will Fix The Problem!

According to the Daily Wire:

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.
