USCIS Director Joe Edlow Says Biden Plan was ‘Mass Amnesty’ to ‘Change Demographics’ of America

United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) Director Joseph Edlow tells Breitbart News in an exclusive interview that former President Joe Biden’s “long-term plan” for immigration policy was a “mass amnesty” for illegal aliens in the hopes of drastically shifting the nation’s demographics, likely in favor of Democrat political power.

Most recently, as Breitbart News reported, President Donald Trump’s administration has started ending a so-called “quiet amnesty” loophole called administrative closure, whereby immigration courts were instructed to dismiss deportation cases or close deportation cases for illegal aliens rather than adjudicating their asylum claims, used by the Biden administration.

The Trump administration is now reopening those closed cases to adjudicate whether such illegal aliens ought to be in the U.S.

In an exclusive interview, Edlow said the federal government must return “to limiting administrative closure.”

“It was a Jeff Sessions-certified opinion in Castro-Tum, that really made the case for why administrative closure should be limited,” Edlow said. “[Former Attorney General Merrick] Garland came in and stripped that away as quickly as possible to use it as a major basis, and I think we’ve seen that happen time and time again.”

“If you look at how the courts were being administered, how ICE was being kind of cut off at the knees, in terms of their role in the immigration court … it was pretty clear to me that the only interest was to either close cases where there was no eligibility, or get cases granted as quickly as possible,” he continued.

Misinformation Scholarship Exposed As Liberal Activist Grift

A funny thing happened when the NY Times reported a month back that Elon Musk’s exit from DC politics had been facilitated by a group of activists targeting his electric car company after he abandoned Democrats, helped fund Trump’s election, and then ran DOGE.

In short, Musk supports zero Democratic Party politicians and none of their priorities.

Enter Democratic activists who protested against the company run by the party’s main boogey man—protests that sometimes veered into violence and started at the impetus of sociology professor Joan Donovan.

The problem with Times story is what the Times journalist doesn’t tell us, namely the function professor Joan Donovan has served at the New York Times and other legacy news. Labeling Donovan a “sociology professor at Boston University,” skips over this purported academic’s role as a central character in the Time’s fake narrative that America is awash in “disinformation” that can only be fixed by legacy media and professors, like Joan Donovan—a misinformation authority who allegedly publishes objective scholarship with neutral, verified facts and reliable truths.

“Dr. Donovan leads the field in examining internet and technology studies, online extremism, media manipulation, and disinformation campaigns,” explains one news site. “She conducts research, develops methods, and facilitates workshops for journalists, policy makers, technologists, and civil society organizations on how to detect, document, and debunk media manipulation campaigns.”

In reality, the entire arena of disinformation studies has been exposed as a jobs program for liberal activists who dress up in academic garb, to provide quotes to the Times when they run articles claiming anything not published in the New York Times might be disinformation.

Power-Bill Crisis Spreads From Maryland To New Jersey, May Doom Democrats As ‘Green’ Implodes

A power bill crisis is gripping parts of the U.S. Mid-Atlantic and is set to worsen, threatening to financially crush households as long-range forecasts point to a brutally cold winter. What began in Baltimore, Maryland – as first covered in our reporting one year ago– has now spread to New Jersey, where residents are furious over skyrocketing electricity costs. 

The common denominator in both states? A disastrous green energy agenda, pushed by radical leftist lawmakers, is dismantling reliable and cheap fossil fuel power generation in favor of unstable solar and wind. This has unleashed a power bill armageddon on working-class and middle-class households, as well as mom-and-pop businesses, all while baseload power demand surges in the era of AI data centers.

Fox News is beginning to latch onto the power bill crisis theme, starting with coverage of New Jersey residents who are absolutely furious over exploding power bills. This new development could severely damage the state’s Democratic leaders in the upcoming elections.

This all started when New Jersey’s Board of Public Utilities approved a 17 to 20% rate hike for power bills in June. Many residents were shocked when they opened their bills at the end of last month. 

“$200 more, I know my electrical bill,” one Jersey woman told Fox News reporter CB Cotton, adding, “I was shocked. So to say the least, I’m very disappointed. This is killing us, and every time you turn around it’s something more. You only get little pleasures in life that you enjoy, and my air conditioner is one of them.”

Perhaps Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy’s decision to shutter the state’s nuclear and coal plants, without a one-to-one replacement for lost capacity on the grid, was a catastrophic error that is only now coming home to roost. He also prioritized offshore wind farms and other green energy projects, which have left the grid more fragile than ever.

“I’m Superman, Godd**n It…I’m Gonna Kick Your F**king Teeth In!” – South Carolina Dem Gubernatorial Candidate Goes on WILD Tirade As He’s Arrested in His Underwear

A police video has emerged showing a South Carolina Democrat running for governor getting arrested in his underwear and going on an insane tirade that must be seen to be believed.

As WCBD reported, 53-year-old William “Mullins” McLeod was arrested back on May 15 after he was found “yelling at the top of his lungs” while walking in downtown Charleston. At the time of his arrest, He was wearing only underwear and shoes.

The Charleston Police Department released video of the arrest on August 12 following a Freedom of Information request. The video, which is approximately one hour long, shows McLeod screaming at the top of his lungs, hurling the n-word, and even comparing himself to God and Superman at various points.

“I’m one of the most just humans to ever walk this soil,” he says at one point while sitting in the police car. “I’m Superman, godd*mn it.”

Democrat South Carolina Clerk of Court INDICTED on TEN COUNTS of Corruption, Embezzlement, and Ethics Violations — Stole Over $119,000 from Taxpayers, Including Child Services Funds

South Carolina State Grand Jury has dropped the hammer on Sharon W. Staggers, the now–former Williamsburg County Clerk of Court, slapping her with TEN criminal counts ranging from official misconduct and embezzlement to ethics violations and outright fraud.

According to the indictment, Staggers, who held her elected office from 2019 to 2023, allegedly treated taxpayer funds like her personal piggy bank, siphoning more than $119,000 from the public coffers.

Prosecutors say she knowingly and willfully funneled federal Title IV-D funds (money meant for child support enforcement under the Social Security Act) and excess salary payments straight into her own pocket.

According to the indictment, Staggers:

  • Raided federal child support enforcement funds (Title IV-D funds) to pad her own bank account with tens of thousands of dollars in so-called “incentive payments.”
  • Cut herself illegal “excess salary” checks year after year, siphoning off public money well beyond her legitimate pay.
  • Solicited and pocketed thousands under the guise of “community projects,” while allowing her office staff to also receive fraudulent overpayments.
  • Engaged in a pattern of public corruption tied to money laundering violations, as noted in multiple counts of the indictment

The court documents paint a damning picture:

  • $4,000 stolen in late 2019 from federal child services funds.
  • $14,500 taken in 2020 from Title IV-D incentive payments.
  • $31,115.32 stolen in 2021 — again from child support enforcement funds.
  • $11,536 pocketed in 2021 as excess salary.
  • $29,993.60 in excess salary payments during 2022.
  • $17,304 stolen in just the first half of 2023.
  • $4,818.09 skimmed from child services funds between August and October 2023.
  • Plus $6,232.05 in shady “community project” payouts, with fraudulent bonuses handed to her own employees

ABC News 4 reported:

Former Williamsburg County Clerk of Court Sharon Staggers was issued a 10-count indictment after allegedly embezzling almost $120,000 in public funds meant to enhance child support services, according to state Attorney General Alan Wilson’s office.

The counts read as follows, with potential prison times:

  • Count 1 – Misconduct in office, common law – 0-10 years
  • Count 2 – Embezzlement of public funds, value less than $10,000 – 0-10 years and a fine
  • Counts 3-7 – Embezzlement of public funds, value $10,000 or more – 0-10 years and a fine
  • Count 8 – Embezzlement of public funds, value less than $10,000
  • Count 9 – Use of official position or office for financial gain ethics act violation, 0-1 year and/or a fine not more than $5,000
  • Count 10 – Receiving anything of value to influence action of public official, 0-10 years and/or a fine of $0-$10,000

The misconduct took place between Nov. 2019 and Oct. 2023, when Staggers served as Williamsburg County Clerk of Court, the indictments allege. Counts 2-5 involve Staggers reportedly embezzling Title IV-D funds of the federal Social Security Act to be paid to her as Title IV-D incentive payments. Title IV-D of the Social Security Act specifically establishes grants for child support and establishment of paternity funding.

AWOL Texas Democrats Unveil New Plan to Strongarm GOP Amid Redistricting Fight

AWOL Texas Democrats unveiled a new plan to strongarm Republicans amid a redistricting fight.

The Democrats fled to Illinois last week to block the Republicans from voting on a new congressional redistricting map.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and Texas Governor Greg Abbott threatened the derelict Democrats with arrest and removal from office if they didn’t return to the Capitol.

Texas Democrats will reportedly return to the Capitol for Governor Abbott’s 2nd special session to vote on the GOP’s redistricting effort, however, the timing is unclear because now they are making new demands.

According to the Associated Press, Texas Democrats won’t return home unless “Texas Republicans end a special session and California releases its own redrawn map proposal.”

The Associated Press reported:

Texas Democrats on Thursday moved closer to ending a nearly two-week walkout that has blocked the GOP’s redrawing of U.S. House maps before the 2026 election and put them under escalating threats by Republicans back home.

The Democrats announced they will return so long as Texas Republicans end a special session and California releases its own redrawn map proposal, both of which were expected to happen Friday.

Democrats did not say what day they might return.

On Wednesday, an Illinois judge denied Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s request to enforce arrest warrants against derelict state House Democrats.

Judge Scott Larson said Paxton failed to “present a legal basis for the court to obtain subject matter jurisdiction over this cause of action…”

Governor Abbott laughed at the Democrats as they made all kinds of demands for a second special session from Chicago.

Dem House Leader Hakeem Jeffries Loses His Cool When Asked About the Socialist Policies of Zohran Mamdani 

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries appeared on CNBC this week and things got a little uncomfortable when the host pressed him with questions about Zohran Mamdani, the communist that Democrats have nominated to run for mayor of New York City.

Jeffries repeatedly dodged and weaved when asked direct questions about Mamdani’s policies before finally erupting, asking why he was getting questions about someone who is not even mayor yet.

All of the hosts questions were perfectly valid, but Jeffries clearly didn’t want to discuss the issue.

The New York Post has details:

Hakeem Jeffries bristles when grilled about NYC socialist Zohran Mamdani: ‘Not even the mayor’

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries bristled when pressed about Zohran Mamdani Thursday — snapping that he didn’t “understand” why he was being asked about the New York City Democratic nominee.

The New York Democrat, during an interview on CNBC’s “Squawk Box,” had ripped President Trump as being anti-free market over his recent decision to replace the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics following a bad jobs report.

That prompted host Andrew Ross Sorkin to redirect the conversation to the Big Apple mayoral race, telling Jeffries he didn’t understand how the congressman could be both “an advocate for a free market,” and also possibly support Mamdani, a socialist, as mayor.

“I’m trying to understand why you would spend a significant amount of time asking me about the Democratic nominee who’s not even the mayor,” a visibly frustrated Jeffries shot back.

Washington, DC Mayor Muriel Bowser Travels to Martha’s Vineyard for ‘Family Commitment’ as Trump Handles City’s Crime Problem

This week as Trump is using federal forces to deal with the out of control crime problems in Washington, DC, Mayor Muriel Bowser departed for Martha’s Vineyard in Massachusetts for a ‘family commitment.’

What is it with Democrats and Martha’s Vineyard? It seems to be a favorite destination for members of the party.

Bowser is expected to return to DC on Friday so maybe she just needed to be at an event or something.

FOX News reports:

DC mayor travels to Martha’s Vineyard amid Trump’s federalized crime crackdown of city

Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser is out of town Thursday after traveling to Martha’s Vineyard for a family matter, Fox News has learned.

The Democrat was not in the District Thursday, and a source confirmed she traveled north to the Massachusetts island vacation hot spot.

The mayor was traveling for a “family commitment,” according to her office. She’s expected back in the city Friday.

“The mayor has a family commitment and had to pick up her daughter,” the mayor’s office said when asked about her trip to Martha’s Vineyard. “She will return to the District tomorrow.”

Bowser made the trip to the Massachusetts island after President Donald Trump federalized the city’s police department Monday after a spate of high-profile crimes.

Some people are suggesting she could do more good by staying in Massachusetts.

WHOOPS: Tim Walz is about to have some ‘splainin’ to do…

If you live in a liberal-run US city, hate to break it to you, but you’re on your own and nobody is coming to help. The only reason residents of DC caught a break is because it’s a federal district, and ultimate authority over the Swamp lies with Congress and the federal government. That gave President Trump power there that he doesn’t have in other liberal crime hellholes like Chicago or San Francisco.

Just look at Minneapolis. It’s turned into the “wild west” under failed left-wing leadership. And their dangerous laws – or lack thereof – are only making it worse. Did you know the Minneapolis Police Department won’t even go after suspects who smash and grab cars? It’s true. There’s actually a policy that bans cops from chasing suspects for so-called “property crimes.” What does that mean for residents? Well, for starters, it means you’ll be lucky if you still have a car left by the end of the workday.

Dustin Grage:

BREAKING: The Minneapolis Police Department did NOT pursue suspects who smash and grabbed 125+ cars due to a policy that bans chasing suspects for property crimes. It’s the Wild West in Minneapolis under Democrat control. Nobody is coming to help.

Meanwhile, as crime soars in Minneapolis, Governor Tim Walz, the same guy who embarrassed himself in 2024 as Kamala’s floptacular sidekick, is busy on X accusing President Trump of being a “dictator” for supposedly erasing history. Never mind that Walz is a proud member of the party that tears down historical statues on a daily basis.
