Politico Protects Pro-Migration Lobby by Blaming Biden for Trump Victory

Politico is trying to protect President Joe Biden’s border chief Alejandro Mayorkas — and his Wall Street backers — from blame for President Donald Trump’s triumph over the Democrat Party in 2024.

Politico interviewed migration zealot Alejandro Mayorkas on May 12 and suggested that Mayorkas’s policy failures were caused by infighting in Biden’s mismanaged White House:

It seems to me … that you became really the most prominent political punching bag for a White House that did not have a coherent immigration policy, and a president who could not make up his mind about what he wanted to do about border control. I wonder how does that thesis strike you?

Mayorkas accepted Politico’s excuse, saying, “I found myself to be quite resilient,” and adding:

It was also my responsibility as a member of the cabinet to execute the orders of the Chief Executive of this country. Whether I agreed or disagreed with those orders, I made my positions known, and then when decisions were made, I executed. That’s my responsibility as a member of the cabinet.

Politico’s cover-up is important because Mayorkas’s political allies — chiefly the FWD.us lobby for West Coast investors  — are still pushing Democrats to maximize migration. For example, FWD.us and like-minded lobbies are backing the “cheap labor” migration bill that is being fronted by Rep. Marie Salazar (R-FL) and the business-backed Problem Solvers Caucus.

But there is abundant evidence that Mayorkas is a progressive who ideologically welcomed the Biden-era migration, even as Biden urged his deputies to curb the unpopular inflow.

Mayorkas also has repeatedly said that he wanted to help the “Bidenomics” economic stimulus policy by importing millions of migrants to serve as apartment-sharing renters, taxpayer-funded consumers, and low-wage workers.

Progressives Want Us To Live In An Age Of Pretend

The word “pretend” is defined as speaking or acting so as to make it appear that something is the case when, in fact, it is not. Isn’t that exactly what much of America is being asked to do today by the mainstream media, progressive politicians and woke celebrities?

We are being pressured to pretend to believe things that defy logic and common sense. If we refuse, we risk being labeled racist, bigot, Nazi, homophobic, fascist, climate denier—or worse.

During the Biden Administration, we were told to pretend that inflation was “transitory” and not a serious problem, even as prices soared. We were instructed to ignore “our lying eyes” and accept that everything was under control. For example:

  1. We were expected to pretend that the southern border was secure, despite more than 15 million illegal migrants entering the country and a record amounts of deadly drugs being smuggled in by Mexican cartels.
  2. We were urged to pretend that abandoning reliable fossil fuels in favor of intermittent “green energy” would solve global warming.
  3. And we were told to embrace the notion that biological males could become women, compete in women’s sports, and that sex is a fluid social construct rather than a biological reality.

Common sense had been replaced by partisan politics in service of a progressive agenda — one that asks us to pretend that wrong is right and that reality itself is negotiable.

A striking example occurred at Stanford Law School, where radical students shouted down an invited Federal Appeals Court judge, falsely labeling him anti-LGBTQ and a bigot. Instead of upholding free speech principles, a law school administrator appeared to pretend that the students had done nothing wrong, and even berated the judge. The irony was lost on no one: students claiming to exercise their own free speech rights were actively denying that same right to a invited speaker. These are future lawyers and judges who will one day swear an oath to uphold the Constitution — including the First Amendment. Yet the left asks us to pretend this behavior was legitimate “dissent.”

The word “pretend” has taken on new prominence in recent years. A vocal segment of the political left — particularly in media, academia and the Democrat Party — routinely inverts logic. Consider just a few examples:

  1. A Supreme Court nominee who, when asked to define “woman” during her confirmation hearing, claimed that she could not, because she was not a biologist.
  2. Militant activists insisting that biological males should compete in women’s sports.
  3. Calls to abolish ICE and leave the border wide open.
  4. Denials of massive fraud in government programs, even when the evidence is overwhelming.
  5. And the reflexive, knee-jerk opposition to anything President Trump says or does — a condition often diagnosed as Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS). Some observers believe this unhinged hostility has contributed to the three assassination attempts against him in less than two years.

We were also told to pretend that the chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan was a “success,” even though it left American citizens and Afghan allies stranded under Taliban rule and abandoned billions of dollars in military equipment to America’s enemies.

Biden-Released Illegal Alien Accused of Raping Deceased Girlfriend’s Underage Daughter in Montana

An illegal alien, released into the United States by former President Joe Biden’s administration, is accused of raping his deceased girlfriend’s underage daughter, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials revealed.

Wualter Jesus Travieso Soto, an illegal alien from Venezuela, was arrested in Flathead County, Montana, in February and charged with felony sexual intercourse without consent with a child under 16 years old as well as strangulation of a partner or family member.

According to police, Soto’s girlfriend died in a car crash in 2024 and her three children were subsequently left in his care despite his having no relation to them. In May 2025, police received a tip from the deceased woman’s sister, who allegedly found photos and videos on Soto’s phone of him kissing the eldest daughter.

The deceased woman’s aunt got custody of the three children and that is when the girl told police Soto had raped her on several occasions and, at one point, choked her.

Soto was only able to go to Montana because of the Biden administration’s catch and release policy, carried out by Alejandro Mayorkas. Under that policy, Soto was released into the United States interior after illegally crossing the border in 2023.

“This monster repeatedly raped the child of his dead girlfriend,” the Department of Homeland Security’s Lauren Bis said in a statement:

He now faces felony charges of sexual intercourse without consent with a child under 16. He would not be in this country in the first place if it weren’t for the Biden Administration’s disastrous catch and release policies that allowed him into our country. ICE is asking officials in Montana to turn this perverted criminal over to ICE custody so that we can get him off our streets and out of our country. With cooperation from our local partners, we will ensure this predator never harms another innocent child. [Emphasis added]

Soto remains in Flathead County custody and ICE agents have lodged a detainer against him so that if he is released from local custody, he will be turned over to federal custody.

Comey Refuses to Talk About the Other Evidence Federal Prosecutors Have Against Him in First Media Appearance Since Indictment 

Embattled former FBI Director James Comey sat down for an interview with MSNOW anchor Nicolle Wallace on Monday evening.

This is Comey’s first media appearance since a grand jury from the Eastern District of North Carolina indicted him on two felony counts:

COUNT ONE: Knowingly and willfully make a threat to take the life of, and to inflict bodily harm upon, the President of the United States;

COUNT TWO: knowingly and willfully did transmit in interstate and foreign commerce a communication that contained a threat to kill the President, Donald J. Trump

Read the indictment here.

James Comey posted his threatening ‘8647’ Instagram post last May.

“Cool shell formation on my beach walk,” Comey said.

’86 47′ is a threat to ‘eliminate/kill’ the 47th president.

Comey told Nicolle Wallace in his first media appearance since his indictment that Trump is going to keep going after him.

“I’m gonna have to deal with this as long as Donald Trump in the White House thinking of me in the middle of the night,” Comey said.

“Trump wakes up at 3 am in the morning thinking about me. The reverse does not happen,” Comey insisted.

“If this case falls apart, they’ll do something else,” he said.

Comey clammed up when asked about the other evidence that Trump’s DOJ has against him.

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche earlier this month said the indictment against Comey is based on a “body of evidence” beyond the Instagram post.

Comey told Nicolle Wallace that he can’t talk about the other evidence.

Grassley Releases Records Showing Biden DOJ Possessed Text Messages From Hunter Biden Indicating Human Trafficking Violations – And Turned a Blind Eye

Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley on Monday released records showing the Biden DOJ possessed text messages from Hunter Biden indicating human trafficking violations.

Hunter Biden was never charged for violating the Mann Act.

Merrick Garland’s DOJ turned a blind eye.

Click here to read the records.

In 2023, then-Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) held up explicit photos of Hunter Biden’s sex acts during an IRS whistleblower hearing.

Two IRS whistleblowers, Gary Shapley, and Joseph Ziegler, testified before the House Oversight Committee on the government prosecutors’ preferential treatment of Hunter Biden.

MTG brought the receipts showcasing Hunter Biden’s criminal behavior with prostitutes, possibly involving him in human trafficking violations.

The Democrats shouted at Marjorie Taylor Greene as she held up the photos.

Senators release records on potential Hunter Biden prostitution crimes kept from them by Biden DOJ

Two Senate committees have obtained records from the Justice Department that show the government possessed evidence of potential prostitution-related crimes related to former first son Hunter Biden. 

Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley and Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations Chairman Ron Johnson had requested the records from the Justice Department in 2022, pursuant to their investigation into alleged corrupt acts and conflicts of interest by members of the Biden family. Those requests were not answered at the time. 

The Republican senators say the records – which include text messages between Hunter Biden and the women – show that the government had significant evidence of potential Mann Act violations allegedly committed by Hunter Biden from as early as October 2020.

For example, the messages show that Biden, whose father is former President Joe Biden, appeared to have purchased a flight from Los Angeles to an unknown destination for an unidentified woman in 2018. 

In their September 2020 report on Hunter Biden’s business interests in Ukraine while his father was vice president, the senators pointed to evidence that the younger Biden had paid women who were citizens of Ukraine and Russia. Some of those transactions were allegedly linked to what “appears to be an Eastern European prostitution or human trafficking ring.”

The findings raised concerns about potential Mann Act violations. The Mann Act prohibits the transfer of individuals across state lines for prostitution “or for any other immoral purpose.”

The IRS investigators who were probing Hunter Biden’s tax violations also said that they found evidence of potential Mann Act violations, Just the News previously reported. One of the investigators, who later blew the whistle to Congress about alleged favoritism shown to Biden by his father’s Justice Department, testified that Hunter Biden frequently deducted expenses for prostitutes and appeared to pay for their travel across state lines. 

Grassley, of Iowa said that the Justice Department’s failure to turn over the records earlier is further evidence of the favoritism shown to the then-president’s son. 

“[The] DOJ and FBI possessed evidence of potential crimes, yet it’s unclear what steps they … took to fully investigate this shocking evidence,” he said in a statement shared with Just the News. 

“We do know President Biden followed it up by issuing an unprecedented pardon to get his son off the hook for serious crimes. This is an affront to blind justice, and it’s especially sickening considering Hunter Biden’s actions appear to have put vulnerable women at risk,” he also said

Biden to Fight Trump DOJ Over Release of 70 Hours of Audiotapes of His Conversations with Ghostwriter

Joe Biden will fight the Trump DOJ to prevent the release 70 hours of audiotapes of the former president’s conversations with his ghostwriter.

Last week it was reported that the DOJ was preparing to release damning audio of Biden’s interview with former Special Counsel Robert Hur. The Department is also going to release 2017 audio recordings of conversations with his ghostwriter in which he disclosed classified information.

Joe Biden is expected to intervene, according to Politico. The Judge says Biden has until Tuesday to respond.

“Former President Joe Biden intends to intervene in litigation to block the Trump administration’s effort to release 70 hours of partially redacted audio recordings of interviews he conducted in 2017 with a ghostwriter who worked with Biden on his memoirs, the Justice Department indicated in new court papers,” Politico reported.

“DOJ lawyers told a federal judge in Washington on Friday that they expected Biden would seek to “prevent any such disclosures” of the audio tapes to Congress and to the conservative Heritage Foundation, which sued last year to access the materials,” the outlet reported.

“President Biden cooperated fully with Special Counsel Hur, and agreed to provide audiotapes of conversations with his biographer for a book about his deceased son on the condition that they would not be made public,” Biden spokesperson TJ Ducklo said in a statement to Politico. “The DOJ themselves have said these tapes serve no public interest.”

“What’s happening now isn’t about transparency. It’s about politics,” Ducklo continued. “If this Administration were genuinely committed to transparency, they would release Volume 2 of Special Counsel Jack Smith’s report on Donald Trump’s own alleged mishandling of classified documents. That report contains information Americans actually deserve to see.”

Joe Biden previously asserted executive privilege over the audio recordings related to then-Special Counsel Robert Hur’s investigation into his stolen classified documents scandal.

Republicans have argued that Joe Biden cannot assert executive privilege over the audio since the transcript has already been released.

Then-US Attorney General Merrick Garland classified the audio tapes of Biden’s interview with Hur as “Top Secret” and locked it way in a SCIF.

The Oversight Project vowed to obtain and release Biden’s audio recordings of his conversation with his ghostwriter Mark Zwonitzer.

Bombshell Evidence About the 2020 Election Is Coming

Something big is on the horizon — and the people saying so aren’t fringe voices on a podcast. They’re senior Trump administration officials.

Monica Crowley, the U.S. government’s chief of protocol, dropped a significant claim on Wednesday: hard evidence that Donald Trump won the 2020 presidential election is coming, and it’s coming soon. “He did win in a landslide, and we will soon be able to give evidence about that,” Crowley said.

Now, she didn’t lay out a timeline or spell out exactly what the evidence would look like, but the message was clear.

According to the Washington Times, she offered no further details on the nature of what’s being prepared. That ambiguity will inevitably give critics ammunition, of course. But here’s the thing, Crowley’s remarks didn’t just come out of nowhere. Her claims track almost perfectly with what FBI Director Kash Patel told Maria Bartiromo last month.

As PJ Media previously reported, Patel appeared on Fox News’ Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo and announced that arrests are coming over the coordinated effort to rig the 2020 election.

“We are going to be making arrests, and it’s coming, and I promise you, it’s coming soon,” Patel said.

Two senior officials. Same message. Same urgency. That’s not a coincidence.

Their argument — and they’re not alone in making it — is that a coordinated effort to undermine the 2020 election results led to Joe Biden being declared the winner.

You’ve heard all the liberal arguments that no fraud was actually found, and courts confirmed the election was entirely above board, but that’s simply not true. Every legal challenge filed after the 2020 contest was rejected, not for lack of evidence, but for lack of standing.

So, there’s a lot we still don’t know about the 2020 election — a lot that Democrats would rather not see the light of day.

Multiple Biden officials bash former Cabinet official, gobsmacked by their rise CA governor race

Former Biden officials are anonymously taking aim at one of their own, ex-HHS Sec. Xavier Becerra, as he appears to ascend in the California gubernatorial race.

Becerra has emerged as a leading Democratic candidate in California’s jungle primary for governor after Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell’s dramatic exit from the race last month.

His rise, however, is mystifying his former Biden administration colleagues, according to a report from Politico.

“Six former Biden administration officials, all of whom were granted anonymity to speak candidly about a former colleague, acknowledged the subject of Becerra’s unlikely rise has come to dominate their group chats and conversations,” Politico reported Thursday.

“‘It gets the biggest laugh every time we send around a poll,’ the first former official said, describing the perception across the administration that the former HHS secretary was ineffective on the COVID response, a migrant health crisis at the border and other matters,” Politico continued. “‘He ran one of the most consequential agencies in government at the height of the pandemic. But he took a backseat to Dr. Fauci and his team, didn’t visibly lead on implementation and had to go through layers to get to POTUS even as a Cabinet member.'”

Biden-Appointed Federal Judge Tosses Lawsuit That Would Have Forced Hunter Biden to Register as Foreign Agent Over Burisma and China Deals

A Biden-appointed federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit that sought to compel Hunter Biden to register as a foreign agent under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) for his work with Ukrainian energy giant Burisma and a Chinese Communist Party-linked energy fund.

U.S. District Judge Jia M. Cobb issued the ruling Tuesday in Washington, D.C., shutting down the case brought by the America First Legal Foundation, the conservative legal group founded by former Trump advisor Stephen Miller.

The lawsuit, filed in 2023, argued that Hunter Biden’s business dealings, including his board seat at Burisma Holdings and payments from the China Energy Fund Committee, required him to register as a foreign agent with the Department of Justice.

In a press release at the time of filing, America First Legal Vice President and General Counsel Gene Hamilton wrote:

“As a result of AFL’s dedicated investigation and litigation against the National Archives, it is now crystal clear that Hunter Biden should have registered as a foreign agent while his father served as Vice President. This is just another example of influence peddling and politicians and their families exploiting their positions of power for personal gain and wealth. It is crucial that the DOJ examine this new evidence and take appropriate action based on what appears to be a clear violation of FARA. We’ve only just scratched the surface of the Biden family’s influence peddling and corruption and will continue to conduct rigorous oversight to ensure no one is above the law – not even the President’s son.”
