Lott: New data on migrant crime rates raises eyebrows, alarms

By John R Lott Jr., Commentary  | Daily Signal The new data on all the criminal noncitizens coming into the U.S. is shocking. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement checks the background of illegal aliens it has in custody. But the ICE administration’s letter to Rep. Tony Gonzales, R-Texas, shows that as of July 21, ICE let 435,719 convicted criminals and 226,847 people with pending criminal charges back in their home countries into the U.S. Of those cleared by ICE, 13,099 have convictions for homicide, and 1,845 were facing criminal charges. Some 9,461 have convictions for sex offenses (not including assault or commercialized sex), and 2,659 face pending charges. The convictions include other crimes, such as assault (62,231), robbery...

Israel bans ‘undesirable’ United Nations Sec. Gen. Guterres from entering the country

By Seb Starcevic | Politico Israel declared the United Nations chief “undesirable” Wednesday, prohibiting him from entering the country. “I decided today to declare U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres an undesirable personality in Israel and to ban his entry into Israel,” Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz announced on social media. Guterres failed to “unequivocally condemn Iran’s criminal attack on Israel” on Tuesday, Katz said, and as a result “does not deserve to set foot on Israel’s soil.” READ THE FULL STORY AT POLITICO

J.D. Vance tops Tim Walz in CBS post-debate exit polling, but 17% say it was a tie

By Breck Dumas  | Breitbart Sen. J.D. Vance’s (R-OH) regard for the facts appeared to help him outperform the sugar-coated whimsy of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) during Tuesday night’s vice presidential debate. At least, that is the opinion of those polled immediately after the showdown by CBS News, which hosted the forum. According to the CBS poll as seen by the Hill, 42 percent of debate watchers say Vance, a Yale-trained lawyer, won the debate. Walz trails closely behind with 41 percent of viewers saying he was victorious. About 17 percent said it was a tie. Nearly all, 88 percent, of debate viewers said the Vance-Walz face-off was generally positive, while 12 percent said it was generally negative, the survey showed. READ THE FULL STORY AT BREITBART...

Donald Trump: My plan to Make America Affordable Again, and bring back the American Dream

By Donald J. Trump, Commentary | Newsweek For years, Americans have watched as our country has been stripped of our jobs and stripped of our wealth. We've watched our companies get sold off to foreign countries. But with my plan for the American economy, this will stop immediately. When I am president, we will begin to take other countries' jobs and factories, bringing businesses and trillions of dollars back to the United States. Under my plan, American workers will no longer be worried about losing their jobs to foreign nations. Instead, foreign nations will be worried about losing their jobs to Americans. German car companies can become American car companies. We can beat China in electronic production. Manufacturers that have left us will come sprinting back to our shores. Her...

Dockworkers from Maine to Texas go on strike as US economy faces losses of billions per day

According to the Associated Press, the contract between the International Longshoremen’s Association and 36 ports from Maine to Texas. The strike went forward despite reported progress in negotiations and is the first one by the union since 1977. The union opened negotiations with an offer for a 77 percent pay increase over the six-year contract.

Heightened ‘significance and importance’ as J.D. Vance, Tim Walz face off in VP debate

By Paul Steinhauser , Brooke Singman  | Fox News With a second face-to-face showdown between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Trump unlikely - and with a margin-of-error race with five weeks until Election Day in November - there's a lot on the line in the vice presidential debate. While debates between the running mates are the undercard of a White House race and have rarely moved the need much in the past, when Republican vice presidential nominee Sen. JD Vance of Ohio and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, the Democrats' nominee, face-off on Tuesday, there will be heightened stakes. Any major knockout blow - or agonizing misstep - could turn what's traditionally seen as a second-tier event into an impactful showdown. READ THE FULL STORY AT FOX NEWS...

Iran fires hundreds of missiles in multiple strikes into Israel, IDF issues shelter in place order

"During the defense, we carried out quite a few interceptions," IDF spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari said after the attack was over. "There are some impacts in the center and areas in the south of the country." READ THE FULL STORY AT FOX NEWS

McRae: It’s time to end the Medicare-Medicaid merry-go-round 

By Jennifer McRae | The Hill To appreciate one of the great snafus of American health care, consider the plight of people who are poor, elderly — often with a disability — and insured by both Medicare and Medicaid.    One might think having two insurers must be better than one. But these two programs were never meant to work together. Rather than cooperating, the programs follow rules that create incentives for each partner to shift costs to the other, while patients are stuck in the middle, without the care they need.   For dually eligible Americans, bureaucratic nightmares are their daily realities.   READ THE FULL COMMENTARY AT THE HILL Editor’s note: Opinions expressed in commentary pieces are those of the author and do not necessarily reflec...

Walz’s alleged ties to Chinese Communist Party deepen on eve of VP debate with Vance

By Paul Bois | Breitbart Rep. James Comer (R-Kent.) has subpoenaed Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas about unspecified allegations of Chinese Communist Party (CCP) connections against Democrat Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz.  In a letter accompanying the subpoena released on Thursday, Comer said the House Oversight and Accountability Committee received information from a whistleblower about “serious concern among Department of Homeland Security (DHS) personnel regarding a longstanding connection between” Tim Walz and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). The letter was issued just one day before Walz is set to debate Trump vice-presidential pick JD Vance in the televised debate on Tuesday. Per the Hill: READ THE FULL STORY AT BREITBART
