“I promise you if I’m elected president, you’re going to see the single most important thing that changes America,” Biden announced on his campaign trail in 2019. “We’re gonna cure cancer!”
Many have since forgotten the loftiest, most absurd campaign promise in recent years. Sadly, there are those who actually believed funding and research would be put toward cancer research instead of killing off the young and healthy at war. The National Institutes of Health has identified 100 different types of cancer that develop for various, largely unknown reasons. The FDA permits known carcinogens to exist in our food and common households products, citing that they have minimal risk. Has anything been done under Biden’s presidency to aid in researching cancer?
The Biden Cancer Moonshot is a White House initiative aimed at reducing the deadly impact of cancer and improving patient experiences in the treatment and survival of cancer. Over $330 million has been earmarked for this project, a small cost compared to government’s spending on less important matters. The objectives of this initiative include reducing the cancer death rate by 50% over the next 25 years, improving access to cancer screenings, understanding and preventing toxic and environmental exposures, and preventing more cancers before they start. No, Biden was not able to “cure cancer” during his first term, but he is hoping this forgotten program will reduce the rate of cancer in 25 years.
The American Cancer Society believes that cancer cases will hit an all-time high in 2024, with two million Americans receiving that awful diagnosis. Cancer among those between 55 and 64 has risen, with colorectal cancer being the leading cause of death for men, while breast is the most lethal cancer for women. Genetics? Environmental? Other? Researchers are uncertain.
Americans cannot afford cancer treatments, and healthcare issues are the leading cause of bankruptcy. Drug companies, insurance companies, and health providers are permitted to extort Americans for top dollar and no one is intervening in a meaningful way. As this was Joe Biden’s promise to America, he certainly could have passed legislation preventing Americans from being decimated by these industries.
There was a Senate hearing on February 8, 2024, involving the CEOs of Bristol Myers Squibb, Johnson & Johnson, and Merck. Senator Bernie Sanders confronted the CEOs, highlighting the obvious discrepancy between drug prices in the US and those in other countries. He underscored the findings of a majority staff report, which revealed that these companies charge Americans the highest prices globally and have substantially increased prices over the years. The report noted that from 2004 to 2008, the median price of new innovative drugs from these companies was $14,000, which surged to a median price of $238,000 from 2019 to 2023. The CEOs defended their pricing and are refusing to lower costs.
Do not believe promises made on the campaign trail, as these politicians will pretend they can solve every crisis known to man. The Biden Administration could focus on improving cancer research now, not in 25 years, and they could certainly curtail these sinister health agencies from profiting on the pain of the American people.

Republican senators Boozman, Capito, Cassidy, Collins, Cramer, Crapo, Hoeven, Ernst, Grassley, Kennedy, McConnell, Moran, Murkowski, Romney, Rounds, Sullivan, Thune, Tillis, Wicker, Young, and Cornyn all voted to send $95 billion to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan to protect their borders while leaving our borders unprotected.
Most people just don’t realize the nature of the opposition we face. ¹The elected representatives simply don’t care what our opinion is, they will do whatever serves their interests and too hell with the voters.
WASHINGTON DC – The Senate approved $95 billion in aid to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan aid by a 70-29 vote early on Tuesday morning, sending the bill to an uncertain fate in the House, where Speaker Mike Johnson is giving the legislation a frosty reception.
Despite a last-ditch effort from conservative opponents of the bill, Johnson‘s cold water and former President Donald Trump’s attempts to kill the legislation, Republican support for the deal actually grew overnight, with 22 GOP senators voting in favor of the package — a kind of rejection of those in the party, like Trump, who argued any aid should be structured as a loan.

¹Now, imagine if we had some simultaneous triggering mechanism that could abruptly initiate a total work stoppage, a general labor strike, in the states or hometowns of the aforementioned senators. Perhaps that would get their attention.
At least there are a few states where both senators held the interests of their voters in mind. Florida, Missouri, Vermont, Alabama, Oklahoma, Tennessee and Nebraska all voted against the Ukraine spending bill.

There is rising speculation over whether prosecutors in Donald Trump’s classified documents case, Jack Smith, will attempt to have presiding Judge Aileen Cannon recused (removed) from the trial after she granted the defense access to certain unredacted classified papers. Smith wants to deny Trump any knowledge of who will testify against him. This is typical of an unethical prosecutor who manipulates judges and courts to ensure they always win and keep the highest conviction rate in the world, along with the 500% greater chance you will go to prison in the USA rather than China.
In my case, after Republic National Bank pled guilty with a deal to return all the money they stole and make all my clients whole with the promise nobody in the bank would ever go to prison, as always in New York, I filed a motion before Judge McKenna which was to compel the government to explain what were the charges since in a reverse proffer session they finally admitted I stole no money. I represented myself because they had taken my lawyers away with another parallel civil court. I filed this motion to compel the government to explain just the theory of the case. They argued this was a pro se brief, and the court could not expect them to answer because I did not know the law to defend myself. I then moved to dismiss the case since if I did not know the law to defend myself; then I could not have knowingly violated the law. Judge McKenna smiled and asked the government if they would not answer my motion now.
Since they had no answer, they went to the Chief Judge, had my case removed from Judge McKenna, and reassigned it to Judge Keenan, who instantly denied that motion. This is how these prosecutors act. The Constitution, law, due process, nothing matters to them. They MUST retain their perfect conviction rate. Jack Smith is now widely expected to pull the same maneuver. We will see if the Florida Federal Court is as corrupt as New York. Just for the record, they should have made a motion to recuse before Judge McKenna, to which I should have had the due process right to object. That was denied by the back-room deal with the Chief Judge, and then, as you can see, they sealed the records, so I cannot even see how they removed the judge.
Judge Keenan, a former prosecutor, should also have had a hearing to allow me to object to this back-room deal – he did not. The bankers told the government I had to be shut down because they were losing money in their manipulations. I had forecast that Russia would collapse in June 1998 within about 30 days. That was the collapse of the Long-Term Capital Management.
Even Edmond Safra, the owner of Republic National Bank, lost over $1 billion, so I believe he stole the funds from me and told the government he had no idea where the money was. All you had to do was go down the list of all the big players who lost billions, for they assumed if they ganged up together, they could manipulate the world. Just look at who had all loses on the same trade, and that is the evidence that they are “the club,” as I call it; they do not compete against each other but join together. If they were manufacturing cars, they would be charged under the Sherman Anti-Trust Act statutes and broken up like AT&T, etc.
When I asked a NY Lawyer why bankers are never charged? He said: “You don’t shit where you eat.“The prosecutors were so bought that no rational person would ever believe $1 billion left a bank, and they had no idea where it was. There would be a wire transfer, a check written – something! There was nothing. They could not be that stupid. This was all about shutting down my First Amendment rights and stopping the forecasting.
It became obvious when Judge Keenan dared to publicly claim I stole the idea for the ECM from the 1998 Movie Pi. They could care less about even facts when they alleged I was dealing in Japan back in 1992. I suppose I used a time machine as well. It was the forecasting they were desperately trying to discredit at all costs to support the bankers manipulating the markets and blowing up the world economy every time.
The Southern District of NY court is beyond all hope – it’s too corrupt. Judges commit felonies all the time, and they alter the transcripts, changing the very words spoken in court. The Second Circuit Court of Appeals dared to claim they lacked the power to order judges to obey the law – see US v ZICHETTELLO id/97. I argued since time means nothing and they can change the words spoken in court, they might as well say I confessed to killing JFK while they were at it and just order the death penalty since trials are a nuisance anyway. Stalin executed Kondratieff because he said there was a cycle and communism would collapse as well. He was taken from court when they ran out of reasons to imprison him and just shot him in the parking lot.
Trump does not stand a chance of winning in New York City. I have never seen the courts there EVER provide a fair trial to anyone! There is a higher probability that it will snow in Hell before Trump ever gets a fair trial in New York City. We are NOW about to see if the Florida courts are as corrupt as New York. Jack Smith will try a backroom deal and say the President needs this. Tuesday, Judge Cannon ruled in favor of Trump, stating the filing from Jack Smith:
“fails to identify the information at issue, provide any explanation about the nature of the investigation, or explain how disclosure of the code name would prejudice or jeopardize the integrity of the separate investigation (assuming it remains ongoing).“
With each passing day, this corruption is becoming so bad that the only solution becomes separation of the United States, particularly in light of the Biden Administration seeking a total dictatorship over Texas, tearing up the constitution and nullifying all State’s rights, which the Founding Fathers swore that day would NEVER come – see Federalist #46.
Without the Rule of Law – Civilization Cannot Exist.

The Senate immigration bill, aka border security bill, is only designed as the cover for the Senate to send $60 billion more to Ukraine. The Ukraine money is the priority (corps/lobbyists) the border “security” bill is the technique to create and spend it.
That said, they certainly would not want to let a created and purposeful border crisis go to waste, and they didn’t. The latest version of the Senate Immigration Reform Bill is now public [SEE HERE]. The proposed Senate border security bill provisions are actually worse than existing non-secure border provisions.
America First Legal did a great job hitting on the top-line issues created by this new bill. In many ways, multiple ways, this supplemental “border security” bill makes things worse. The bill codifies into law the loopholes currently being used to increase the number of illegal aliens. By this design the bill makes things worse.

Earlier today, President Donald Trump participated in a roundtable discussion with the Teamsters executive board, its president and members at the annual meeting in Washington DC. President Trump chose to attend the conference as he continues to focus on Main Street blue collar workers who helped fuel the MAGA 2016 victory.
The blue collar MAGA coalition is expected to play a major role in the November election – particularly in Midwestern swing states like Wisconsin and Michigan. The America First agenda delivered significant gains for U.S. manufacturing workers throughout President Trump’s first term. At the conclusion of the meeting with Teamsters, President Trump delivered comments to the oppositional media. [The audio improves at 01:50 of the video] WATCH:

During a House Homeland Security Committee hearing yesterday, Representative Robert Garcia (Democrat-CA) wanted to deliver a snarky retort about the unsecure southern border, complete with graphics and talking points. Unfortunately, what followed was an exhibition in just how detached and silly the Democrats are. Representative Garcia obviously doesn’t know where the idea for a border moat with alligators came from.
Back in 2011, Barack Obama went to give a speech in El Paso, Texas, proclaiming the security of the border. Using his customary style of ridicule against any political opposition, Obama said the Republicans were likely to ask for a moat with alligators. WATCH:
This speech became somewhat funny, as the insecure nature of the border and thousands of illegal aliens crossing daily stood in direct contrast with the proclamations of Obama. Indeed, the “whatever it takes” meme sprang up from this speech as people said sure, get alligators, get gun turrets, get sharks with lasers in their eyes, or piranhas, or whatever… BUT, SECURE THE DAMN BORDER. Ultimately, it was the Lightbringer who was embarrassed within the pushback.
Fast forward 13 years, the border is still not secure, the border crisis is worse than ever, and Democrat Representative Garcia revises the “alligator moat” remarks thinking it was some snarky comment that originated from MAGA republicans. WATCH:
The issue is that the border is not secure. Fullstop. That’s the problem.
The left consistently says that Republicans have these silly demands to secure the border; to wit the smart Republican says, “ok, sure, whatever…. whatever works, do that. Even if it means sharks, lasers, alligators or piranhas – who cares?” The point being emphasized is that the border is not secure, and no amount of anything the left says delivers anything about a secure border.
Ask any leftist what secure border lockdown measure they will support, and they will say “nothing.” Because their intent is always a wide-open border.
So, why debate them? Just laugh at them, ridicule them, mock them, and move on. They are too stupid to see their own stupid nature.

In his own words, Senator James Lankford says if President Trump was president today the border crisis would not exist, because the existing law would be enforced. Simultaneous to this, the same Senator Lankford says the new law he proposes will create significant border enforcement.
If the executive branch can ignore the current border enforcement law (they can and do), what makes Lankford believe new legislation will not be ignored by the same executive branch (they will)? This non-pretending reality frames the essential point: the element of “enforcement” is not within the legislative branch, so the entire effort is a moot exercise. WATCH:
Margaret Brennan is especially annoying in this interview.
[Transcript] – MARGARET BRENNAN: And we’re joined now by Oklahoma Republican James Lankford. He’s in Oklahoma City this morning. Good morning to you, sir, it has taken you two months to get this bipartisan deal. Do you have the support of your fellow Republicans to actually vote this through?
SEN. JAMES LANKFORD: Well, actually, I wish it would have taken only two months. It’s taken about four months to be able to go through this, we started in October. Everyone’s looking to be able to read the bill at this point. That’s the key aspect, we’re working on the final aspects of it to try to be able to get it out. So everyone can get a chance to read it. Right now, they’re all functioning off of internet rumors of what’s in the bill, and many of them are false. So people want to be able to just see it, read it and go through it. And to be able to see the dramatic change that this really makes and how we handle our immigration system, and how we work to be able to secure our border completely. That’s been the simple request of Americans, whether you’re Republican, Democrat, or independent, people just want a secure border, where we have legal immigration, but we’re not promoting illegal immigration. And that’s what we’ve seen in the last three years.
MARGARET BRENNAN: So you don’t have a vote count yet?
SEN. LANKFORD: Do not have a vote count yet on this because everybody’s got to be able to read it to be able to go through. But I do feel very positive about it because even the initial feedback has been good.
MARGARET BRENNAN: So you just heard the details laid out there by our immigration correspondent, how do you balance the shutdown power that would be in these new authorities versus the right to claim asylum?
SEN. LANKFORD: Yeah, this is similar to what we had to under Title 42, during the pandemic time period, where we reach a crisis point to say we can’t actually operate. So we don’t have that authority. Right now, as the United States, we’ve reached crisis points. For instance, when we got four or 5,000 people crossing the border, we can no longer process those individuals. So right now, the Biden administration is just releasing them into the country. That’s what’s driving the mayors in Denver, in Chicago, in New York City and other places around the country crazy to say, when the border gets crowded, you just release them to our cities, and it causes all the chaos in these cities. This is a new authority to say, when we can no longer detain and deport, when we can’t process the people and actually make a decision right there at the border, then we’ll actually turn those folks back around to Mexico and say, “We can no longer do this.” That gives the authority to the United States into law enforcement, rather than the authority, just the criminal cartels. Right now. The cartels can just rush our border, they’ll get through as many people as they want to be able to get through. We can not have criminal organizations running our southern border, we have to be able to run our southern border.
MARGARET BRENNAN: So parole authority has been a sticking point for Republicans throughout. I know the administration has used it in a novel way to resettle 1 million people. So how are you changing that authority?
SEN. LANKFORD: Yeah, humanitarian parole is still- is still an issue for us. But it’s been an authority that every President has had to have basic humanitarian parole, but as you mentioned, this administration has used humanitarian parole in a way no other administration has. They’ve said, if you’ll just tell us in advance that you’re coming, come to a port of entry, the first day you get here, we’ll hand you a work permit, and we’ll release you into the country under parole. Well, that’s actually attracting more people, of course, people from around the world are going to want an American work permit to show up. So instead of deterring immigration, they’re literally incentivizing illegal immigration,. They’re handing people a parole and a work permit day one. That has to stop, we can’t just have a system where we have that. In between the ports of entries, when it gets crowded, they’ll just release them under a parole authority there. And they’re just released in the country. We don’t know if they qualify for asylum. We don’t know where they are. By the hundreds of thousands people are just being released in the country. And we have no tracking on them at all. That has to stop. This is a national security issue for us. May I remind you that we’ve had 50 people come across our border that we’ve interdicted, that are on the terror watch list. Just in the past four months, we’ve had tens of thousands of people that came across our border that were identified as a national security risk. Those individuals should not just be waived into the country.
MARGARET BRENNAN: So the conservative Wall Street Journal editorial board called this the best chance in years to fix asylum law and parole loophole. But Donald Trump, who is the front runner to be your party’s nominee in 2024 is telling Republicans not to support this. Here’s what he said last night in Las Vegas.
(SOUND ON TAPE)
FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: A lot of the senators are trying to say respectfully they’re blaming going to me– I said that’s okay. Please blame it on me, please, because they were getting ready to pass a very bad bill. And I’ll tell you what a bad bill is– I’d rather have no bill than a bad bill.
(END SOUND ON TAPE)
MARGARET BRENNAN: Can you get this passed without Donald Trump’s approval?
SEN. LANKFORD: Well, I’m looking forward to President Trump having the opportunity to be able to read it like everybody else. There’s a lot of misinformation out there right now that I hear this comment that it waives in 5,000 people, it hands out work permits that- all those things are not true. There’s just a lot of internet rumors that are running around on this right now. We’re looking forward to getting the information out and I can say, there is no question no matter what your political persuasion is, we would not have had the immigration crisis we’re experiencing right now, if President Trump would have been president the last three years. There’s no way we would have had 8 million people illegally cross our border, because he would enforce those different authorities and would have made sure that we actually secure a border. But even while he was president, he was specifically asking Congress to change the standard on asylum to be able to tighten up, to be able to give them additional funds for deportation. All of those things are in this bill. So if he were to be president, this would be new authorities that he had actually asked for when he was president before.
MARGARET BRENNAN: Right. And I just- you just said that he has not read this bill. He doesn’t essentially know what he’s talking about. So this deal–
Sen. Lankford: — Well, I’m not saying that. I’m just saying there’s just a lot of rumors that are out there about the bill. And I want to make sure everyone has a chance to be able to read it before they make a final judgment.
MARGARET BRENNAN: Right. So the deal you just said would give any future president and the current one new authorities. So on the trail, Trump has vowed to block legal immigrants based on their beliefs to end birthright citizenship, to carry out mass deportations, and he has not ruled out separating kids from their parents. Would you trust Donald Trump with these new authorities?
SEN. LANKFORD: I would actually because these are not only new authorities that had been asked for by multiple presidents, whether it be President Trump, President Obama, President Bush before that, this is a basic thing that we have to have for our national security. When we talk about asylum, right now you cross the border, and you literally say, I have fear in my country, and you’re released into the United States and await a 10-year hearing. No one thinks that actually makes sense to have a 10-year backlog for just saying the magic words. I have fear in my country. We don’t really know if they qualify for asylum. We don’t know their criminal record. We don’t know anything else about it. That absolutely has to change. That’s been an issue for a very long time that changes this in law.
MARGARET BRENNAN: Well, we will have to see where we are on the vote count. But I want to ask you, back in 2022, Donald Trump endorsed your reelection. And in that endorsement, he said, “James Lankford is strong on the border.” Has anything changed with your thoughts about endorsing Donald Trump for president?
SEN. LANKFORD: No, it hasn’t at all. Obviously, he’s been very engaged, as I’ve mentioned already on it, none of the things that are happening in the last three years in the border would have happened if Donald Trump was actually president. He knows I’ve been very passionate about the border. This is an issue I’ve worked on for a very long time. He and I worked together when he was in the White House on some of his border policies. And when he did his big proposal, that was a legislative proposal, because again, President Trump proposed new laws and new issues on this, because we know that we have gaps in the system. So if you want to be able to secure the border, you can have President Trump to be able to come in to actually secure the border, because he’s going to focus in on that. But if he comes in and is elected by the American people to come this November, he’s going to want these additional authorities in this because it will help every president from here on out.
MARGARET BRENNAN: Yeah, but you’re not endorsing him?
SEN. LANKFORD: I actually haven’t endorsed anyone on it. But he’d be a much better president than what we’re dealing with right now, definitely on national security.
MARGARET BRENNAN: Okay. Before I let you go, I want to get your reaction to the news that he was ordered to pay $83 million to a person that a jury found he defamed after a separate jury found that he had sexually assaulted her. Does it give you any pause about him returning to office?
SEN. LANKFORD: It doesn’t. Obviously, these are legal cases. I don’t want to jump in the middle of a legal case. It’s been interesting the number of legal cases that have come up against President Trump and then have failed and had been dropped or had been kicked out of the courts on it. This one’s actually went through. He’s already said he’s going to challenge it. So let the courts actually make their decisions and let the American people make their decisions. We got states like Colorado that are trying to be able to block the people of Colorado from being able to choose who they vote for. Let the American people decide this in November.
MARGARET BRENNAN: Well, the Supreme Court might decide on that one. We will have to leave it there for today, James Lankford. We will be focusing on what progress you were able to make. We’ll be back in just one minute.

A migrant who illegally crossed into the United States threatened me, saying "You find out who I am very soon," simply because I asked him where he was from. These are the people @AliMayorkas@POTUS@DHSgov and @CBP are letting in. pic.twitter.com/iblMnNndpa
The argument that people crossing the US border, illegally, are simply dreamers searching for a better life is null and void. They can abide by US law and go through the immigration process, a process that was standard until Biden took office. There is an increasing number of KNOWN TERRORISTS entering the US, but Washington wants you to believe it is not a threat to national security.
A video has been circulating of a migrant walking across the border, taunting reporters with vague threats of terrorism. “If you are smart enough you would know who I am. But you are really not smart enough to know who I am,” the man stated, later saying, “But soon you’re going to know who I am. Very easy. Believe me, I am much bigger than that … You will see.” The man was not detained.
This is far from an isolated incident. In 2023, U.S. Customs and Border Protection caught 169 people trying to cross the border who are on the terrorist watchlist. Again, we must remember that the number of illegals reported are those who were processed or caught trespassing. The majority of bad actors are completely unaccounted.
As of October 2023, 35,433 people with outstanding warrants or criminal convictions were caught trying to flee their country to avoid prosecution. This includes nearly 600 gang members, again, only the gang members who were not swift enough to avoid detention.
Worse, Border Patrol and Air and Marine Operations seized 27,293 pounds of fentanyl at the US-Mexico border. They estimate that this is enough fentanyl to kill off over 6 billion people. Fentanyl overdoses have quadrupled in the US in the past five years.
Some may recall how the mainstream media declared that it was a conspiracy that terrorists were infiltrating America. They went as far as to say that being on the watchlist did not mean that someone was dangerous or involved in terrorism. As CNN reported in March 2021:
“Facts First: There’s no evidence of a sudden rush of individuals on the terror watch list showing up at the southern border. The information that is available is vague and leaves many questions unanswered. That said, it’s entirely false to imply a small number of individuals on the terror watch list coming to the southern border is a new phenomenon. Furthermore, it’s worth noting that being on the FBI’s terror watch list does not mean someone is a terrorist or has proven ties to terrorists.”
Trump warned us after the attack on Israel that Hamas terrorists were crossing into America. Again, every news agency said that there were no evidence for his claims. Every attempt to warn the public that the US has been invaded is dismissed as a MAGA conspiracy theory.
The establishment, through the media, was buying these men time to enter the country without the masses becoming suspicious. Countless KNOWN TERRORISTS and violent criminals are within the US. What are they doing here?
It would come as no surprise if these men were awaiting next orders from a global organization seeking to dethrone America as the world’s leading superpower. We have been warned.
