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.

The Liberal Media Is Finally Noticing Democrats Are Willing To Shred The Rule Of Law

Democrats have anointed themselves the defenders of democracy and protectors of the rule of law. For years, the liberal media has been more than willing to help push that narrative. But after the state Supreme Court struck down the Virginia gerrymander, the reaction from Democrats was so extreme that even their usual defenders couldn’t ignore how bad it looked.

On Sunday, the New York Times reported that House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Virginia Democrats held a conference call the day after the Virginia Supreme Court ruled that the party had violated the state constitution by passing its gerrymandered map, nullifying the new map before it could be implemented. According to the report, lawmakers spent the call “venting anger at their defeat,” with the atmosphere described as “desperation and fury,” and Democrats floated the idea of lowering the mandatory retirement age of the court so they could replace all the justices and restart the process of passing their gerrymandered map.

Even some of the liberal media’s old guard felt uncomfortable that such an idea was seriously considered, and what that says about the party that claims to be defenders of Democracy and the rule of law. 

That’s the unmistakable takeaway from a revealing exchange between Chris Cillizza and Chuck Todd on Monday on Cillizza’s podcast.

Chuck Todd framed the Virginia ruling as the natural consequence of bad politics and worse arrogance. “That’s how I feel about this, this ruling in Virginia, right? This was a bad idea. This was terrible messaging. This was defeat. This sort of undermined every supposed principle that the Democratic Party had been running on for over a decade,” he said.

The deeper problem, as Todd and Cillizza both made clear, is that Democrats did this to themselves. “And, you know, and they didn’t dot their I’s and cross their T’s,” Todd said, acknowledging reports that Democrats in Virginia knew their plan wasn’t constitutional but pressed forward with it anyway.

“The Democratic state legislature told the Virginia State Supreme Court, ‘Do not offer a ruling on this until after the election,’” Cillizza noted. In other words, they knew exactly what they were doing. They were trying to run the clock and hope the courts would stay out of the way until after the votes were cast, and there was nothing that could be done about it.

Todd then referenced the  New York Times report about the plan to lower the retirement age for Supreme Court justices to 54, which he used as another example of Democrats careening away from any serious commitment to institutional norms.

“And you’re sitting there going, ‘Wow.’ And you’re the same party that’s been complaining that Donald Trump doesn’t respect, um, the democracy? Doesn’t respect the will of the voters, doesn’t respect institutions.” 

“How about rule of law?” Cillizza added.

The narrative from Democrats for years has been about protecting democracy, defending norms, and standing up for institutions. But when their own power is on the line, that lofty rhetoric suddenly turns into just another set of talking points. Todd even admitted the entire episode looked insane from the outside. 

The most damning part came when Todd explained what he thinks the Democratic Party is willing to do.

“The left has become… as bad as Trump,” he said.

Hantavirus: Have We Learned Nothing? The Fear Machine Is Starting Again. This Time, You Should Recognize It.

Watching the headlines unfold this week feels like watching a rerun of a movie we’ve seen multiple times before.

  • A virus outbreak on a cruise ship.
  • Emergency evacuations. Hospital escorts.
  • Contact tracing across multiple countries.
  • Media outlets flood the public with alarming updates before most people even know what hantavirus is.

The images, the language, and the emotional conditioning are familiar because we have seen this exact pattern before. It always begins the same way: create fear first, provide context later, and by the time the facts catch up, the public has already been pushed into a state of panic and vaccinated. It seems every 2 years we get a new viral scare from the media, as the very expensive and intrusive Biosecurity Agenda gets built out. Remember this?

2020: COVID

2022: Monkeypox

2024: Bird Flu

2026: Hantavirus

What is a Hantavirus?

Hantaviruses are a large class of enveloped, single-stranded RNA viruses. Today, scientists recognize more than 50 hantavirus species worldwide, with approximately two dozen known to infect humans. Most infections occur through inhalation of aerosolized rodent urine, feces, or saliva (how unclean was that cruise ship?) Human-to-human spread is considered very rare, although the Andes virus in South America has shown limited evidence of person-to-person transmission. For the last 50 years, rodents have been the primary hosts of hantaviruses. However, recent discoveries have shown that hantaviruses also infect bats, moles, and shrews.

Before the 1993 outbreak in the Four Corners region of the Southwest (where Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, and Utah meet), only 31 hantavirus cases had ever been reported. The initial outbreak affected 24 previously healthy young adults who suddenly developed fever, muscle aches, and rapidly progressive respiratory failure, and within days, there were a few deaths. CDC investigators eventually identified a previously unknown hantavirus carried by the deer mouse. It was later named Sin Nombre virus. The deaths resulted from what became known as Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome (HPS). (Do you remember hysterically hearing about this from the CDC or local public health departments? I don’t either…)

After the 1993 outbreak, the CDC began national surveillance for hantavirus infections. As of the end of 2023 (30 years), 890 confirmed hantavirus disease cases had been reported nationwide, as HPS or non-pulmonary hantavirus infections. (A non-pulmonary case is one in which patients tested positive for hantavirus infection but never developed the classic pulmonary phase. Of these, 309 cases were classified as HPS with a case-fatality rate of approximately 35%, which is about 10 deaths per year.

Historical surveillance has shown that approximately 96 percent of U.S. cases occurred west of the Mississippi River, reflecting the geographic range of the deer mouse and related rodent reservoirs. However, at least one case has been identified in nearly every state.

The CDC reports that hantaviruses are spread through exposure to infected rodent urine, droppings, or saliva, especially when contaminated materials become aerosolized and inhaled. As previously stated, deer mice are considered the principal reservoir for Sin Nombre virus in North America. Hantaviruses found in the United States are not believed to spread from person to person.

Long-term CDC surveillance has demonstrated that hantavirus activity fluctuates with environmental conditions that influence rodent populations. Researchers studying deer mouse ecology in the Southwest have observed that fluctuations in infected rodent populations are closely linked to environmental conditions.

ABC News Employee Joy Behar: Trump Only Cares About White Children 

Joy Behar of The View recently slandered Trump and his administration as racists by saying that they only care about white children.

Since The View falls under the umbrella of ABC News, perhaps we should start identifying Joy Behar and her co-hosts as ABC News employees. Maybe then, ABC News will finally take this poisonous, hateful, bitter hag off the air.

Calling Republicans racists is so original, Joy. 2008 called, and wants its Democrat smears back.

Transcript via NewsBusters:

BEHAR: You know what gets me?

GOLDBERG: What gets you? We get you but what gets you.

BEHAR: What gets me is this sort of this lie that they care about children. They seem to care about white children, but like when they say more Trump babies, what does that mean? Okay, I’m just asking the question.

And I would like to just remind people that this administration dismantled USAID, which helped children around the world. They cut $13 billion in foreign aid resulting in an estimated 500,000 children dying and 4.5 million children under five could die by 2030 due to largely preventable diseases like pneumonia, diarrhea, HIV, malaria, and tuberculosis.

So don’t tell us you care about children. You only care about these children that you call Trump children.

FARAH GRIFFIN: But it is accessible to any American.

BEHAR: But that – Let’s look at the over —

FARAH GRIFFIN: My child is not a trump child, it’s accessible to anyone who wants to apply for it.

BEHAR: No. I’m looking at the overall picture of this administration, and stop BSing me, okay? That’s all.

This Has Gotta Stop: The View Puts Targets on VA Supreme Court’s Back With Fact-Free Meltdowns

Even if it wasn’t obvious before, it’s certainly been abundantly clear since the start of President Trump’s second term in office that Democrats have no qualms whatsoever about fanning the flames using outright lies and purposeful deception to the point it spurs their outrage mobs to take violent action in the name of  “democracy” and “social justice.”

We saw it, for instance, in the early to mid part of 2025, when Tesla dealerships and vehicle owners were being targeted by unhinged leftists who took it upon themselves to either try to run folks off the road for the crime of owning a Tesla or to shoot up and light showrooms on fire with incendiary devices because Elon Musk was a powerful ally of President Trump’s.

Notably, when prominent Democrats in Congress were asked to unequivocally condemn such actions, they refused. Sen. Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), for example, was asked at the time about the incidents and whether he condemned them. His response?  “I can’t talk about Tesla, but Elon Musk is a disaster for America, and America knows it,” Schumer stated, contributing to the anti-Musk hate.

Elected Democrats, of course, are not the only ones who deliberately stoke divisions along familiar lines that have the net effect of putting targets on the backs of conservatives, something that we unfortunately saw with the assassination of TPUSA co-founder Charlie Kirk. 

Their allies in the mainstream press and among the political/social commentariat also eagerly do the dirty work, a disgraceful tactic that was on full display during the Monday broadcast of The View, where, unsurprisingly, the co-hosts were livid over the Virginia Supreme Court’s (SCOVA) ruling on Friday that effectively nullified the proposed 10-1 D/R congressional map Democrats wanted to put in place before the 2026 midterms.

‘The View’ Is a Cancer on the Culture and the Country

It almost seems impossible, and I wouldn’t believe it if didn’t see it with my own eyes, but through the miracle of “new math” and the sheer stupidity of the ABC New product “The View,” it is not possible to bring five human beings together and make their collective IQ less than the sum of their individual IQs. How can people coming together be dumber collectively than individually? Skill, I have to assume, and really trying. I say trying because all the ladies on The View are so dumb that they have to be trying, like the whole show is some sort of dare. The end result is a show that makes its audience dumber – a cultural cancer on the country.

In order to avoid any standards to skirt from lawsuits, and to deny anyone not a doctrinaire leftist claims of “equal time” on the public airwards, The View is part of ABC News, not ABC entertainment. Those of us who work on the public airwaves know that there are rules before elections that require, should a candidate ask for it, that they get equal time as a guest on a show 30 days before a primary and 60 days before a general election. 

It’s rarely an issue, as few Democrats have the guts to appear on conservative talk radio because they can’t actually defend their agendas or policies, so they don’t ask for that time – and it has to be asked for. But conservatives aren’t afraid of leftists and would happily take on the five harpies on the show. Producers, however, know that would be an absolute disaster for the show, so they will never allow it. As a “news” show and a “journalistic” outfit, they don’t have to. 

It’s not surprising ABC would do this, but you’d think Disney might want to protect the brand. Maybe they are.

It doesn’t much matter which day you watch the show – and I have nothing but respect and sympathy for Nicholas Fondacaro at the Media Research Center whose job it is to watch it every day – an unsuspecting viewer will come away misinformed and probably dumber. From “Dr. Jill Biden would make a great Surgeon General because she’s a great doctor” to “Republicans have overruled the will of the voters” in Virginia because the State Supreme Court tossed out the unconstitutional power grab Democrats tried to rush through, you’d have to try to get the basic facts of daily life and basic civics as wrong as these women do.

Media Spreads Hantavirus Hysteria In Attempt To Save Disgraced WHO

The establishment media has been drumming up fear after a recent outbreak of Hantavirus on a cruise liner traveling from Argentina to West Africa.  The Guardian has used the opportunity to assert that the US is currently ill equipped to deal with future pandemic threats, largely because of Donald Trump (of course) and the dramatic US exit from the now disgraced World Health Organization. 

Is Hantavirus a serious danger to the world, or, is it another hyped up virus like Covid being used to trigger public hysteria?  And if it is being hyped, who (or WHO) stands to benefit? 

For decades the WHO constructed its image as a global angel of benevolence; the primary line of defense against what they said was the inevitable invasion of a population rending plague.  However, when the time finally came in the form of a mutated Coronavirus (Covid), they dropped the ball, and evidence suggests they may have done it deliberately.

During the initial outbreak in China, the WHO echoed CCP propaganda suggesting that human-to-human contact was unlikely and, knowingly or unknowingly, aided China in hiding details behind the outbreak.  Details surrounding the involvement of the Wuhan Institute of Virology, the largest dangerous disease lab in Asia, were actively dismissed (or suppressed).  Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus even praised China’s “transparency”. 

The WHO then set up a joint task force to determine the origins of Covid, only to let the Chinese dominate the investigation and lead it away from the activities at the Level 4 lab in Wuhan.  The Chinese wanted to push the theory of animal-to-animal mutation instead of the gain of function research that was ongoing at the lab (partially funded by US interests in the Obama Administration). 

Today, evidence overwhelmingly suggests that Covid originated in the Wuhan Lab.  In January 2025, the CIA assessed that a lab-related origin is more likely than natural spillover.  This determination matched with similar FBI assessments. 

In 2025, German Intelligence also reported their findings, indicating a 90% likelihood that Covid was engineered and originated at the Wuhan Lab in China.   

Of course, anyone who made this claim online during the pandemic response was called a dangerous “conspiracy theorist” and was deplatformed (much like Zero Hedge).

The WHO would go on to exaggerate the death rate of the virus, claiming an initial Case Fatality Rate (CFR) of 3.4%.  This data was based on studies which ignored mild cases as well as asymptomatic cases, thus artificially pumping up the death rate.

Covert NATO initiative turns film into anti-Russia battleground

A scandal has erupted over covert NATO conferences with the Western entertainment industry. Leaked documents reviewed by The Grayzone show how NATO has sought to infiltrate film and TV for decades, with UK intel operatives taking the lead.

On May 3, The Guardian revealed that NATO has held a series of secret meetings with film directors, screenwriters and TV producers in cities from Paris to Los Angeles. The disclosure suggests NATO is seeking to employ the entertainment industry in its propaganda operations as a European war looms.

To date, NATO’s “conversations” with scriptwriters have reportedly “inspired, at least in part” three separate unstated projects, which are already in development. At a forthcoming London summit, NATO operatives are set to meet with screenwriters tied to the Writers’ Guild of Great Britain (WGGB). In email correspondence, the union told its members the event will focus on the “evolving security situation in Europe and beyond.”

Organizers claim NATO was “built on the belief that cooperation and compromise, the nurturing of friendships and alliances, is the way forward.” The alliance is actively seeking to influence film and TV projects extolling this mantra, stating, “even if something so simple as that message finds its way into a future story,” as a result of the meeting, “that will be enough.” 

But collusion between NATO and the entertainment industry has a well-established history. Over recent decades, NATO has covertly sought to employ film and television creatives as psychological operations specialists, while influencing popular culture. A core driver of this push has been Chris Donnelly, a veteran British Ministry of Defence and military intelligence operative, who led alliance expansion into Central and Eastern Europe during the 1990s.

Donnelly later developed the Integrity Initiative to cultivate support for conflict with Russia through covert networks of influential pro-war pundits and operatives. Hidden behind a seemingly legitimate think tank called the Institute for Statecraft, the Integrity Initiative only became known to the public after independent outlets like The Grayzone reported on leaked emails from Donnelly revealing its existence.

In leaked documents discussing NATO expansion, Donnelly stated, “What I needed in the 1990s and did not have” was a major international public relations firm to “scale up successful activities to have real impact,” and achieve “essential behavioural change” in audiences. To address the problem, he proposed “advertising campaigns on TV promoting change, a TV soap opera looking at the problem of corruption” and other innocent-seeming cultural products aimed at enhancing NATO control.

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.

A Feral and Savage Party

“Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. The third time it’s enemy action.” —Ian Fleming

Don’t you love the way the news media pretends it can’t figure out the motive of Cole Tomas Allen, who tried to shoot-up Saturday’s White House correspondents’ gala. He was a creation of the very White House correspondents who ducked under their tables at the sound of his shots. Cole Tomas Allen had digested and internalized the “narrative” spewage of the Democratic Party’s propaganda department. MSNOW occupied his brain like a glistening parasite.

CBS tried to amplify the shooter’s own motive on Sunday night’s 60 Minutes show when Norah O’Donnell read out-loud from his manifesto, “I am no longer willing to permit a pedophile, rapist, and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes,” and asked President Trump “What is your reaction to that?” Mr. Trump did not fall for the ruse — which was just an opportunity to reinforce a well-worn scurrility. “You’re a disgrace,” the president replied, and Ms. O’Donnell just continued with the interview as if his answer never registered. There it is.

In fact, Cole Tomas Allen traveled all the way from Los Angeles to Washington for the rare chance to find Mr. Trump and most of his cabinet all together in one room where he might be able to kill as many of them as possible. He styled himself: “Cole ‘coldForce’ ‘Friendly Federal Assassin’ Allen. “I experience rage thinking about everything this administration has done,” he concluded in his short manifesto, reportedly composed and sent out minutes before he left his room at the Washington Hilton to perform his rash deed.

That rage, you understand, was planted in his head by the likes of Norah O’Donnell of CBS news and the scores of reporters, editors, and news producers who had to abandon the festive menu starters of spring pea and burrata salad and crab terrine with a nice Veuve Clicquot when the shots rang out. The gala is a night when the Blob’s media errand boys and call girls like to treat themselves like royalty. (Meanwhile their hated enemies back in the truck stops of MAGAland get by on lowly chili-lime jerky and Little Debbie Zebra Cakes, washed down with Red Bull — good for five-hundred miles of hauling, at least.)
