The Chinese Communist Party has used its U.S. consulates as bases for economic espionage—Houston is no exception.

Here are just two ways that the CCP has targeted Houston…

Secretary Pompeo’s closure of the consulate is a warranted defense against the Chinese Communist Party’s coordinated spying operations in Houston and across the United States.

These Little Gazas are disgusting cesspools of antisemitic hate full of pro-Hamas sympathizers, fanatics, and freaks. Just look at what’s going in these Little Gazas:
These criminals at @Columbia are chanting eliminationist slogans like “from the River to the Sea, ‘Palestine’ will be free” and “globalize the intifada”
@Columbia At @Stanford, they wore Hamas headbands stanforddaily.com/2024/04/30/sta…

I’ve reviewed the bill, I don’t think it will solve our border crisis, and might make it worse. I will oppose it.
 
Joe Biden created this crisis by design. He can and should reverse his open border policies today.

Here are a few of my concerns:
The bill gives Secretary Mayorkas the right—for the first time—to grant asylum claims (and thus American citizenship) to illegal aliens at the border without review by the immigration courts, which will be a massive pathway to rubber-stamping amnesty.
The bill codifies catch-and-release under so-called “alternatives to detention” for any alien who says they *intend* to apply for asylum or another protection.

🚨 Democrats Break Judiciary Committee Rules to Target Private Citizens, Now Will Face Consequences🚨
Dick Durbin and Judiciary Democrats just blew up the rules to issue a partisan subpoena to private citizens. They will face severe consequences. Let me explain what happened.
Democrats have thrown a hissy fit for years that the Supreme Court has a center-right majority, after decades of believing that the Court “belonged” to the Left. Chuck Schumer, Dick Durbin, and Sheldon Whitehouse have led the charge, threatening justices by name and trying to delegitimize the Court.

The Biden administration’s continued appeasement of China is embarrassing. It was no accident the balloon that floated across the U.S. passed over military sites. nytimes.com/2023/02/15/us/…
We now know the first Chinese balloon had tools to collect intelligence, something it was able to do because President Biden refused to shoot in down over Alaska.
Vice President Harris’s latest remarks refusing to acknowledge that China is a threat to America is yet another example of the administration’s lack of seriousness in countering the CCP. politico.com/news/2023/02/1…

Remember when the Biden administration said they weren't funding crack pipes, and the media believed them?

The attacks on Fox News by Chuck Schumer are not only completely false, but are an attempt to shut down a conservative-leaning network.
The Waukesha mass murderer, the NYC subway shooter, the Congressional baseball practice shooter—Did Chuck Schumer blame left-wing media? Of course not. This is just politics.
Chuck Schumer’s motivations are political—he wants to distract Americans from everything the Democrats have mismanaged: from inflation to baby formula to Title 42 to the crime wave. The list goes on.
