Commentary: The Potential End to the Open Borders and Cheap Foreign Labor Experiment

Farm Workers

It has been six decades since the Immigration Act of 1965 vastly opened up the ability to import cheap foreign labor at the expense of American workers, and it has been four years of the Biden Administration’s disastrous open borders experiment.

With the election of President Donald J. Trump, the American people are fiercely rejecting the destructive open borders mandate and beginning to rethink cheap foreign labor as a viable economic strategy.

‘Absolutely Unconvincing’: Courts Uphold State Bans on Transgender Procedures for Kids

Doctors Surgery

In the weeks before the Supreme Court reviews the constitutionality of Tennessee’s ban on puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones and surgical interventions for gender-confused minors, federal and state courts have upheld similar laws against so-called gender affirming care for children as a proper exercise of legislative power over medical practice.

It’s a worrying sign for transgender activists and allies now reconsidering their strategy in light of pending Republican control of the White House and both chambers of Congress, likely affected by the Biden administration’s imposition of gender identity over sex in federal regulations and 2024 Democratic presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris’s support for taxpayer-funded transgender surgeries for inmates.

GOP Reps to Grill Top Biden Officials on Natural Gas Exports Pause

Oil Drilling

The House Oversight and Accountability Committee is bringing in top Biden administration energy officials for a Dec. 4 hearing on the administration’s decision to pause approvals for certain new liquefied natural gas (LNG) export facilities.

Subcommittee on Economic Growth, Energy Policy, and Regulatory Affairs Chairman Pat Fallon, a Republican from Texas, will be hosting the hearing, to which senior Department of Energy (DOE) official Brad Crabtree and top Biden climate adviser John Podesta have been invited. The hearing will be a continuation of oversight into one of the Biden administration’s most aggressive policy moves against conventional energy, and the lawmakers intend to inquire about allegations that the DOE effectively buried a 2023 draft study that would have undermined the justification for the pause before officially announcing the freeze in January 2024.

Commentary: Thanksgiving According to the Founding Fathers

Thanksgiving

Although the Pilgrims came in 1620 and held the First Thanksgiving shortly thereafter, the national holiday which we celebrate didn’t come into existence until 1863. But America was not without Thanksgiving celebrations in the intervening years. As the quotes below demonstrate, days of prayer, fasting, and thanksgiving became a frequent part of American life, particularly during the Revolutionary War.

This Thanksgiving, perhaps we would do well to go beyond our surface gratitude for things like “turkey,” “pie,” and “not having to wash the dishes,” and instead consider many of the benefits they included in their Thanksgiving lists.

NIH Official Says He Won’t Get COVID Boosters, Admits Shots Are Ineffective; Not Worth the Risk of Heart Damage

Vaccine Shot

A public health official at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) was caught on hidden camera admitting that the COVID shots are not terribly effective and not worth the risk of heart damage in people under 30.

None of the assertions made by Raja Cholan, Chief of the Health Data Standards Branch at the U.S. National Library of Medicine, would come as a surprise to Americans who distrusted the legacy media narratives during the COVID pandemic and turned to to alternative sources of news such as The Defender, Epoch Times, Alex Berenson’s Unreported News, Steve Kirsch’s Newsletter, Open VAERS, Vigilant News, and American Greatness, among many others. Still, it is striking to see a current NIH official corroborating our reporting on the faulty products even as the Biden regime continues to push them.
