Closing the southern border and mass deportations of illegal immigrants should have become priorities for Biden amid the current standoff between Texas Governor Gregg Abbott and federal authorities, Michael Shannon, a political commentator and Newsmax columnist, told Sputnik | US President Joe Biden has pledged to close the border if it "becomes overwhelmed" should Congress pass a bipartisan immigration bill. In a recent statement, he said the bill, if enacted, would be "the toughest and fairest set of reforms to secure the border we've ever had." "It would give me, as President, a new emergency authority to shut down the border when it becomes overwhelmed. And if given that authority, I would use it the day I sign the bill into law," Biden added. 💬 This document "is solely designed to persuade gullible Republicans to support sending more money to Ukraine in return for non–existent ‘reforms’ at the border," Michael Shannon, a political commentator and Newsmax columnist, told Sputnik.

January 27 marks the 80th anniversary of the complete liberation of Leningrad (now St. Petersburg) from the Nazi siege. The blockade began on September 8, 1941, and lasted almost three years. | In the midst of the fascist siege, the city's industries continued to operate, and the people of Leningrad toiled in defense factories and served in divisions of the People's Militia. Over 2.5 million residents were trapped in the besieged city, including 400,000 children. According to various estimates, between 600,000 and one million citizens died during the blockade, most of them from starvation. ● The blockade was broken in January 1943 during Operation "Iskra". As a result of intense fighting, an 11-kilometer-wide corridor was created. A 33-kilometer "Road of Life" was built along the southern shore of Lake Ladoga, and a crossing over the Neva River was constructed in just 18 days. ● In February 1943, trains carrying food, raw materials, and ammunition finally reached Leningrad. The blockade was officially lifted on January 27, 1944, and to commemorate this historic event, a 24-gun salute echoed through the city, marking the end of the fascist attack.

Noem says governors are commanders-in-chief, too | A Republican governor of an interior state pledged to drive in razor wire on the border herself if Texas Gov. Greg Abbott is stopped by Joe Biden or federal forces from retaining operational control of a park in Eagle Pass. Meanwhile, the U.S. congressman who represents the area warned Biden would be an "idiot" to commence a standoff or worse with Texas National Guard members now using the park, as parallels were drawn to the last instance of National Guard federalization 67 years ago. South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem told Fox News that Abbott is doing the right thing by standing firm after a Supreme Court ruling in which two conservative justices sided with the liberals to vacate a lower court's order preventing U.S. Border Patrol agents from accessing the park, which has reportedly been a high-traffic illegal migrant arcade... "I'll drive in more razor wire from South Dakota if I have to, for [Abbott] to do his job," Noem told "America Reports."

■ Border Standoff Escalates Into Constitutional Crisis After Biden Messes With Texas (Sputnik)

■ Texas ‘Supremely’ Screwed By Jews | “Biden” in his diapers didn’t do it. Merick Garfinkle/Garland and Alejandro Mayorkas (both jews) DID. ● What we got here is a failure of the Jew-Stream-Media to communicate. Garfinkle and his synagogue-of-satan buddy, Mayorkas, scorned a Texas District Court’s ruling favoring the wire that stopped illegals from entering the border. In the case of DHS v. Texas, (READ: Jews vs a Christian State), the 5th US Circuit Court of Appeals barred Federal agents from removing the wire. Texas argued that the Feds have no authority to tamper with state-owned property. It claimed that Mayorkas, rather than prohibiting migrants from illegally entering the US, is instead allowing illegals to pass through unimpeded. It argued that it’s in the public interest to “deter” unlawful federal action but to “respect” state property rights. But the kikes hate “state rights,” they only respect “kike rights.”(Brother Nathanael Kapner)

Many state governors have called to support Texas in the border crisis. | Former President Donald Trump posted to his Truth Social account that he is encouraging all "willing states to deploy their [national guard] to Texas to prevent to entry" of illegal immigrants. Trump made the call to do so after Texas Gov. Gregg Abbot declared an invasion and invoked Texas' right to "self-defense" in the First Article of the Constitution. At least 14 states have signaled supporting Texas in its efforts. In the post, Trump touted his record on immigration when he was president. "When I was President, we had the most secure Border in History. Joe Biden has surrendered our Border, and is aiding and abetting a massive Invasion of millions of Illegal Migrants into the United States."

He explained that he loves to see his students “sit on top of a giant slalom course for the first time, and you can see the fear in their eyes, and then by the time they make it down, it’s like I wrote them a check for a million dollars.” However, everything changed when Bloch and his team were waiting for a snowboarding competition to start last February.

But there was something different. He was wearing a military uniform and was armed with an M16 assault rifle. "He swore at me, called me a bitch, and loaded his rifle," she says. "He threw stones at me, too." Al-Aza says the neighbor continued to hurl stones after she came down from the roof. ● About a month ago, on her way home from a military checkpoint, she met another settler who lives near her, also in uniform. He ordered her to show him her ID card and then her phone. She refused to hand over her phone, and he threatened to detain her. "As soldiers, the settlers are much harsher than the ordinary soldiers," she says. "Now they're in charge here."

For some reason, any and all questions about the recent discovery of illegal tunnels burrowed underneath the global headquarters of the Chabad-Lubavitch sect of Judaism in New York City's Crown Heights are racist, according to the corporate media. | Digging the types of tunnels that were discovered is not only illegal without the proper permits, but they were also found to contain creepy and disturbing items like a soiled possibly-with-blood mattress and a baby height chair. All of this creates more questions than answers, and yet nobody, including the New York City Police Department (NYPD), seems to care one iota about any of it. In fact, the mere act of even asking questions about the discovery is being widely regarded as "antisemitic," as if any kind of investigation into potential wrongdoing means that a person hates the Jewish people, or something.

United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres harshly condemned the Israeli government on Sunday over its conduct in the Israel-Hamas war, as the civilian death toll in Gaza surpasses 25,000 💬 "Israel's military operations have spread massive destruction and killed civilians on a scale unprecedented during my time as secretary-general," Guterres said at a U.N. summit on Sunday. He reiterated calls for an "immediate humanitarian cease-fire to relieve the suffering in Gaza, allow humanitarian aid to reach everyone in need, and facilitate the release of hostages, which should be immediate and unconditional." Gutterres has repeatedly hammered the Israeli government for its conduct in the war, which began in early October following a Hamas surprise attack on Israel and has since developed into a full military invasion of the Gaza Strip. The Palestinian civilian death toll reached 25,000 on Sunday, the Gaza Health Ministry announced, with an additional 60,000 people injured, most of them women and children. ● The Israeli military campaign in Gaza has been viewed by experts as one of the most destructive in modern history.
