Biden-Harris Regime’s Unthinkable Betrayal: U.S. Launches Investigation After Intel Leaks Israel’s Potential Attack Plans on Iran

The Biden-Harris regime finds itself embroiled in yet another scandal, as U.S. officials scramble to investigate the alarming leak of two highly classified documents that detail Israel’s potential strike plans on Iran.

The Gateway Pundit previously reported that the leaked documents, now being circulated through Telegram channels linked to Iran, contain details about Israel’s military positioning ahead of an expected strike on Iran in response to an October 1 missile barrage.

The leak includes intelligence marked as top secret and is sharable only within the “Five Eyes” intelligence alliance (the U.S., U.K., Canada, New Zealand, and Australia).

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) confirmed on Sunday that the U.S. government is now investigating the unauthorized release of these documents, which are believed to have originated from the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency and the National Security Agency, according to PBS.

A home in Ohio for African immigrants with nowhere to go

Oumar Ball was in a rush. The eight men crammed into his 2006 Honda Odyssey needed to clock into work at a chicken-processing plant by 4 p.m. It was 3:40 p.m. and the traffic on the Ronald Reagan Highway wasn’t moving fast enough.

As Ball wove through the cars, he toggled from one call or WhatsApp message to the next. One man needed help making a down payment to a lawyer to begin his asylum paperwork. Another wanted to know how many more days before he’d get permission from the U.S. government to work.

Ever since thousands of his compatriots began arriving from Mauritania to the United States border with Mexico two years ago, they’ve been making their way to the quiet Cincinnati neighborhood of Mount Airy, where they have found refuge in Ball’s home.

Up until recently, few Mauritanians made the 10,000-mile trekfrom Africa to South America and then on to the United States. But poverty, corruption and racial tensions between the Arab-dominated government and Black Africans have compelled many to flee and apply for asylum in America, where most are allowed to remain while waiting for their cases to be heard.

Last year, at least 15,500 residents from Mauritania arrived in the United States, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection data analyzed by The Washington Post. The influx represents a 2,800 percent increase compared with 2022, when just 543 arrived.

The sharp increase in migrants is part of a broader pattern of immigration that led President Biden to issue an executive order Tuesday blocking new asylum seekers once unauthorized border crossings exceed 2,500 a day.

A sizable share of Mauritanians arriving in the United States are settling in a city that has drawn little attention as migrationinto the countrysoars: Cincinnati. Mauritanians first laid down roots here in the 1990s, drawn by manufacturing jobs. In 2023, of more than 2,700 Mauritanians who settled in Ohio, a little more than half went to the “Queen City,” the data shows.

House Intel Chair Mike Turner Slams Biden-Harris Regime for Failing to Brief Congress on North Korean Troop Movements into Russia, Demands Red Line Against Ukraine Aggression

House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence Chairman Mike Turner (R-OH) delivered a scathing rebuke of the Biden-Harris Administration, accusing it of failing to provide Congress with critical intelligence on the recent movement of North Korean troops into Russian territory.

Turner issued a letter to Joe Biden demanding immediate action and transparency as tensions escalate over North Korea’s growing military involvement in the Russia-Ukraine war.

Turner expressed deep concerns over reports that North Korea has mobilized thousands of soldiers in support of Russia’s ongoing invasion of Ukraine, calling the situation a “dangerous and extreme escalation.”

Chairman Turner emphasized that the Biden administration has kept Congress in the dark, neglecting to brief key intelligence and defense committees about the alarming developments.

In his letter to the president, Turner cited Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s recent warnings at NATO headquarters, where Zelenskyy alerted world leaders that North Korea has deployed roughly 10,000 troops prepared to join Russia’s fight against Ukraine.

Obama Pushes Lies About Trump’s Mental State After Covering Up Biden’s Actual Dementia for Years

Obama is campaigning for Kamala Harris in Arizona and of course, he is lying.

Obama has the nerve to suggest that there’s something wrong with Trump’s mind after he actively covered up Joe Biden’s very real dementia for years. Obama was campaigning with Joe Biden right before the left decided he had to be replaced. He knew how bad Joe was.

And remember, this is the party that claims to care very deeply about disinformation.

From Mediaite:

Obama then pointed to a recent town hall Trump held, where he ended up swaying back and forth on stage as music played for 40 minutes.

“Let me explain because I’ve done a lot of town hall meetings,” Obama continued. “The point of a town hall meeting is to take questions. He just decided, you know what, I’m gonna stop taking questions and then he’s swaying to ‘Ave Maria’ and ‘Y.M.C.A.’ for about half an hour. Folks are standing there, not sure what’s happening. Can you imagine if I did that? Can you imagine if Ruben did that?”

After making a crack about how their playlists would be better, Obama pulled the grandpa card on Trump.

“He called himself ‘the father IVF,’” he added. “I do not know what that means. You do not either. He said January 6th was ‘a day of love’… You would be worried if your grandpa was acting like this. No, no. I’m not joking. You would, right? You’d call up your cousins and you’d say, ‘Have you noticed?’”

Kamala Harris Comes Up with New Answer When Asked What Policies She Would Have Done Differently Than Joe Biden

Kamala Harris couldn’t even answer a few softball questions from NBC’s Peter Alexander after she delivered remarks in Grand Rapids, Michigan on Friday.

Peter Alexander asked Kamala Harris if there is one policy she would have done differently over the past 3.5 years than Joe Biden.

The last time Kamala Harris was asked this question, she totally bombed and said she would do nothing different.

So she came up with a new answer.

This time, Kamala Harris said, ‘Vice presidents are not critical of their presidents.’

“President Biden said every president has to cut their own path. What is one policy you would have done differently over these last three and a half years than President Biden?” NBC’s Peter Alexander asked Kamala Harris.

“To be very candid with you, even including Mike Pence, vice presidents are not critical of their presidents. I think that really, in terms of the tradition of it and also just going forward, it does not make for a productive and important relationship,” Harris said.

“He has not given you the green light to carve your own path with those comments?” Peter Alexander asked Harris.

Harris responded, “Going forward, there’s no question, and I bring my own experiences and my own life experiences.”

Biden to ‘surge’ U.S. funding of Ukraine war effort as U.S. military plans for major black swan event causing ‘civil disturbance’ here at home

With the swipe of his pen, Joe Biden announced another $425 million in military aid for Ukraine this week as he updated Ukrainian President Zelenskiy on his efforts to “surge” American funding of Ukraine’s war with Russia over the final months of his term in office.

The package includes air-defense weapons, air-to-ground missiles, armored vehicles, and critical munitions to meet the urgent needs of a badly outmanned Ukrainian army, according to a White House statement that said Biden spoke by phone with Zelenskiy about additional U.S. military aid to the country.

The statement reads:

“In the coming months, the United States will provide Ukraine with a range of additional capabilities, including hundreds of air-defense interceptors, dozens of tactical air-defense systems, additional artillery systems, significant quantities of ammunition, hundreds of armored personnel carriers and infantry fighting vehicles, and thousands of additional armored vehicles, all of which will help to equip Ukraine’s armed forces.”

During the phone call, Zelenskiy updated Biden on his plan to achieve victory over Russia. A victory which any rational observer knows is impossible.

It’s impossible by the simple fact that Russia has a population that is nearly four times that of Ukraine and Russia has a defense industry that’s shown itself capable of out-producing all NATO countries combined when it comes to critical ammunition, such as 155mm artillery shells.

Federal Judge Sides with Biden-Harris DOJ, Blocks Attempt to Remove Ineligible Voters from Rolls Ahead of Election

A federal judge on Wednesday halted an Alabama effort to purge voter registration rolls of people who should not be able to vote in the state.

The Justice Department sued Alabama to stop Secretary of State Wes Allen from what he said were “strategic efforts” to “remove noncitizens registered to vote,” according to NBC.

Under the program, Allen sought to remove 3,251 voters and said they would be referred to the state attorney general’s office for possible prosecution.

U.S. District Court Judge Anna Manasco, who had been nominated by former President Donald Trump in 2020, said the program had to stop due to the timing.

“For decades, federal law has given states a hard deadline to complete systematic purges of ineligible persons from voter rolls: no later than ninety days before a federal election,” Manasco wrote. NBC referred to the rule as a “quiet period.”

“This year, Alabama Secretary of State Wes Allen (1) blew the deadline when he announced a purge program to begin eighty-four days before the 2024 General Election, (2) later admitted that his purge list included thousands of United States citizens (in addition to far fewer noncitizens, who are ineligible to vote), and (3) in any event, referred everyone on the purge list to the Alabama Attorney General for criminal investigation,” Manasco wrote.

Manasco ordered the state to contact those who were targeted by the program to let them know they are able to vote this year.

The order said that Allen is not barred from removing voters who would be ineligble for other reasons — such as criminal offenses or death.

If Allen learns an individual on the rolls is not an American citizen by means other than the program to remove them en masse, he can remove such a person, the order said.

The injunction to stop Allen from removing voters only lasts until the day after the Nov. 5 election.

“Because this litigation is still ongoing, I am limited in my ability to comment,” Allen said in a statement, according to The Washington Post.

“Earlier today, the federal court issued a preliminary injunction order. I will comply with the order of the federal court.

Biden-Harris admin’s disaster loan program tapped out after hurricanes

The Biden-Harris administration’s loan program for disaster survivors is out of money, the White House announced Tuesday. Congress must approve more funding for the agency but it is on break until after the presidential and Congressional elections of Nov. 5, Politico reported.

Without more funding, the Small Business Administration (SBA) can’t offer assistance to people who saw their homes and businesses destroyed by Hurricane Helene and Milton. House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) says he has no plans on recalling Congress prior to Nov. 12 and argued that states need more time to assess the full extent of their required assistance from both hurricanes. Johnson responded to the need to top up the fund by saying “there’s no question these devastating back-to-back storms have stressed the SBA funding program.”

“But the Biden-Harris Administration has the necessary disaster funding right now to address the immediate needs of American people in these hurricane-affected areas,” the speaker continued. “Congress is tracking this situation closely, and when members return in just a few short weeks, the administration should have an accurate assessment of the actual dollar amount needed and there will be strong bipartisan support to provide the necessary funding.”

Without a total recall, Congress could pass an emergency funding bill during their “pro forma” sessions but it would only take one representative to stop the process without asking for a roll-call vote. Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-FL) has put forward a bill to provide the SBA with another $8 billion for disaster loans, arguing that it was irresponsible to not plan ahead for hurricane season.

President Joe Biden said in a statement Tuesday that because Johnson has promised to get around to replenishing funding when Congress returns, Americans should still keep applying for loans.

FBI Fudges Violent Crime Stats To Hide 55 Percent Rise Under Biden-Harris Administration

When the FBI originally released the “final” crime data for 2022 in September 2023, it reported that the nation’s violent crime rate fell by 2.1 percent. This quickly became, and remains, a Democratic Party talking point to counter Donald Trump’s claims of soaring crime.

But the FBI has quietly revised those numbers, releasing new data that shows violent crime increased in 2022 by 4.5 percent. The new data includes thousands more murders, rapes, robberies, and aggravated assaults.

The Bureau — which has been at the center of partisan storms — made no mention of these revisions in its September 2024 press release. 

RCI discovered the change through a cryptic reference on the FBI website that states: “The 2022 violent crime rate has been updated for inclusion in CIUS, 2023.” But there is no mention that the numbers increased. One only sees the change by downloading the FBI’s new crime data and comparing it to the file released last year.

After the FBI released its new crime data in September, a USA Today headline read: “Violent crime dropped for third straight year in 2023, including murder and rape.” 

It’s been over three weeks since the FBI released the revised data. The Bureau’s lack of acknowledgment or explanation about the significant change concerns researchers.

“I have checked the data on total violent crime from 2004 to 2022,” Carl Moody, a professor at the College of William and Mary who specializes in studying crime, told RealClearInvestigations. “There were no revisions from 2004 to 2015, and from 2016 to 2020, there were small changes of less than one percentage point. The huge changes in 2021 and 2022, especially without an explanation, make it difficult to trust the FBI data.”

“It is up to the FBI to explain what they have done, and they haven’t explained these large changes,” Dr. Thomas Marvell, the president of Justec Research, a criminal justice statistical research organization, told RCI.

The FBI did not respond to RCI’s repeated requests for comment.

Biden administration to forgive $4.5 billion of public service workers’ student loans

After making what it called “significant fixes” to the Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) program, the Biden administration on Thursday is announcing the approval of $4.5 billion in student loan forgiveness for 60,000 borrowers who work in public service jobs. 

The PSLF was established by Congress in 2007 under then-President George W. Bush, to allow those working full time in public service jobs for 10 years who had made 10 years of student loan payments to have their loans forgiven. But as of four years ago, only about 7,000 people nationwide had received loan forgiveness under the program, due in part to its complicated rules and a lack of federal oversight. 

“Teachers, first responders, service members, sometimes have student debt and choose to get back to their communities or their country and accept low paying jobs, and student debt is often a real obstacle in that,” James Kvaal, Under Secretary of the Department of Education, told the Capital-Star. “So Congress created the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program in a bipartisan way, but it was never implemented.” He said some who were eligible for the program were in the wrong repayment plan, or some didn’t file the right paperwork at the right time. 

In 2021, the Department of Education (DOE) overhauled the PSLF program, which made more people eligible for forgiveness sooner. Since that time, 44,150 Pennsylvania public service workers have had more than $3.15 billion of student loans canceled, according to a fact sheet from the DOE, with a total of $175 billion forgiven for more than 4.8 million people nationwide. 

For those who may have applied for PSLF before and been rejected, Kvaal encourages them to reapply. And while some other student loan forgiveness programs the Biden administration has put forth have been blocked in the courts, the PSLF is an established program with bipartisan support, Kvaal said. The DOE has been working on streamlining the application process, he added, so that it’s easier for eligible borrowers to apply and track their status. 

And public service workers don’t have to wait until they’re past the 10-year mark to apply, Kvaal said, if they’re in a job that qualifies them for the program and plan to stay there, they can apply and track their progress on the DOE website until they’ve completed the requirements.
