Biden to Build Border Wall – Trump was Right


Armstrong Economics Blog/International News Re-Posted Oct 6, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

The Biden Administration has met its target quota for illegal immigrants who will become future Democrats. The situation has become so out of control that even sanctuary cities are pleading for help from the White House. Civil unrest is rising and Democratic citizens are turning on the Biden Administration. To put a bandage on the open wound that will never heal, the Biden Administration is now BUILDING A WALL in southern Texas.

The left and right mocked Donald Trump relentlessly for years over “Trump’s wall.” It was deemed racist and unnecessary. EVERYONE WHO VOTED TO SECURE UKRAINE’S BORDER OPPOSED BUILDING A BORDER WALL WITH MEXICO. Trump requested $5.7 billion in 2019, which led to a government shutdown as Congress refused his request. Every politician claimed that America did not have the budget to build a wall, as if they had ever adhered to a budget.

A few short years later, we have spent well over that amount on supporting those who do not respect our borders or laws. Transnational gangs are roaming the country, there is a large human trafficking operation functional in plain sight, our cities have been overrun, lawless cities are sprouting up, and no one knows where these people came from initially. Where does their loyalty lie? State budgets have imploded over this migrant crisis and building a small partial wall will obviously not solve the problem. “What is he going to do about the 15 million people from prisons, from mental institutions, insane asylums, and terrorists that have already come into our country?” Trump questioned on Truth Social.

So Joe Biden overturned 26 federal laws to build the wall. It was only weeks ago when he was auctioning off the remaining supplies for Trump’s wall and dismantling all temporary walls Abbott put in place. The environmentalists are enraged because Biden dismissed the Safe Drinking Water Act, Endangered Species Act, and the Clean Air Act to construct the new wall. Everything has been strategically planned. Biden would have acted at the start of his presidency if he cared about national security. They NEEDED to let these people “surge the border,” as Joe said, to push forward what is to come in 2032. The truth of the matter is that he met his quota, and mass chaos has already ensued… AND he has no plan to implement a full wall. Trump said he “will await his apology.”

Costa Rica Declares State of Emergency


Armstrong Economics Blog/International News Re-Posted Oct 2, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

President Rodrigo Chaves of Costa Rica has declared a state of emergency, but not due to anything happening in his nation per say. People across the globe are passing through Costa Rica en route for the USA as the borders are open to all. Our president is not concerned, but other nations see the threat to national security this presents.

“The people that arrive are passing across Costa Rica trying to get to the United States, basically,” President Rodrigo Chaves stated. The International Organization for Migration (IOM) said that border crossings have increased 55% in one month alone, with 84,490 people passing through in August. Migrants are crossing the Darien Gap, a jungle terrain connecting the nation to Panama and Colombia. The IOM believes a quarter of a million people have made their way through this area in 2023. Worse, only 20% of those traveling are children, which means that the women are likely not traveling through either. This is a planned invasion of military-aged men.

The environmentalists are at a crossroads. The mass crossing through untouched land is harming the environment.

Biden met with Chaves in August to discuss the issue. Unfortunately, Biden could not tell Chaves that this is a deliberate attempt to destroy America from within and he has no intention of halting crossings. I also want to thank you for deepening our security cooperation, that’s one of my objectives, and I hope one of yours, including on organized crime,” our embarrassment of a president told Chaves. Biden’s policies are so dangerous that they have caused other countries to declare a state of emergency. Biden and Harris do not care about America.

While Demanding Ukraine Funding, Joe’s Last Marble Falls Out of the Bag


Posted originally on the CTH on October 1, 2023 | Sundance

I’m not saying he has entirely lost all his marbles, but there’s certainly a giant hole in the bag.

Toward the end of his remarks demanding more money for Ukraine, Joe Biden was questioned by the DC stenographers.  In one segment he was questioned about Kevin McCarthy keeping his word to provide unlimited billions for the Ukraine laundry operation.  As Biden started to talk about McCarthy… something went wrong and he had a Mitch McConnell moment.  WATCH (prompted):

All in The Family – Joe Biden’s Granddaughter Lived in White House While Representing Govt Interests of Peru


Posted originally on the CTH on September 30, 2023 | Sundance 

Sheesh, this family.  According to reporting from the New York Post, Hunter Biden’s oldest daughter, Naomi Biden, Joe Biden’s granddaughter, went to work for DC-based law firm Arnold & Porter immediately after Biden was inaugurated.

While working for the firm as an “international arbitration associate”, Naomi Biden represents the interests of Peruvians in an energy dispute and lawsuit.  Naomi Biden lived in the White House from August 2022 to March 2023.

No word on whether she registered under the laws of the Foreign Agent Registration Act (FARA).   The IRS investigators of Hunter Biden were blocked by the DOJ from interviewing Naomi.

This is multiple layers of sketchy.

(New York Post) – Hunter Biden’s eldest daughter Naomi worked as a lawyer on behalf of the government of Peru around the same time she was living at the White House with her granddad, President Joe Biden, a review of public records shows.

Naomi Biden, 29, joined the Washington DC-based law firm Arnold & Porter in January 2021 — the same month Joe Biden was sworn in as the nation’s 46th president.

She had previously been a Summer associate at the firm in 2019.

In September 2021 she appeared in a filing disclosing that she was providing legal representation for the government of Peru in a case brought by Worth Capital Holdings 27 LLC, which claimed the country was interfering in their operation of an oil refinery in the southern Amazon.

The company sought $590 million in damages. The case is still ongoing, and Naomi Biden’s specific role is unclear. (read more)

Joe Biden Joins Tens of Auto Union Workers on Picket Line Rallying for Economic and Social Justice


Posted originally on the CTH on September 26, 2023 | Sundance 

Don’t pretend. The media are pitching this with full pretense.  Instead, look at the data carefully.  Tens of thousands of UAW members are on strike for better pay and benefits.   The installed occupant of the oval office makes a “historic” visit to the picket line.   About two dozen workers are there.  Think about it.

Look at the optics.  Do you think for one second that Team Obama would let their principal appear in such a smattering of support?  Not a chance.  This “crowd” might as well have had circles around their place to stand.  Joe Biden spent about an hour in Michigan before tripping back onto the plane and heading to meet Gavin Newsom in California.

Michigan – […] The move also appeared to be a clear counter to former President Donald Trump, who plans to visit Michigan on Wednesday instead of participating in the second Republican primary debate — the latest sign that both candidates have moved beyond the primary phase of the election and are focused on November 2024.

But for Biden, too, Tuesday’s trip suggested that he can’t take labor support for granted. Union leadership has already rallied behind the president’s reelection bid, but that hasn’t necessarily translated into support from rank-and-file members who have slowly been drifting away from the Democratic Party and who make up an important part of the electorate in must-win states for Biden. The UAW has held off on endorsing Biden, although it has made clear they will not support Trump.

After Biden’s remarks, Fain grabbed the bull horn and the president stepped back into the crowd. Biden put his arm around one striker as Fain thanked him for joining the picket line. The crowd cheered.

“Thank you for coming to stand up with us in our generation’s defining moment. And we know the president will do right by the working class,” Fain said. “And when we do right by the working class, you can leave the rest to us because we’re going to take care of this business.”

Reporters later asked the president if he supported a 40 percent wage increase for the auto workers. The union members surrounding him shouted “yes,” and after waiting a moment, Biden, too, said yes. (read more)

Biden Forced to Respond – State of the Race


Posted originally on the CTH on September 24, 2023 | Sundance 

The motive of the Biden trip to visit the striking UAW workers one day ahead of President Trump visiting Michigan is transparent.  However, the background of the issue is layers more interesting.

The narrative the engineers are trying to assemble, circles around a historic trip by Joe Biden to stand on the picket lines with striking auto workers. But it’s the overall collapse of support for Biden that looms larger.

The big picture problem for democrats is not that Biden is losing to Trump in the polls, but rather the scale of the loss.

Everyone knows the DNC and activist groups will trigger their ballot fraud operations in 2024, the problem for them is they can only lift so much through the fraud itself.

Yes, it is possible for the metropolitan counties of Philadelphia (PA), Wayne (MI), Clark (NV), Fulton (GA), Racine (WI) and Maricopa/Pinal (AZ) to each generate between 300,000 and 500,000 fraudulent ballots.  However, when contrast against the anticipated scale of the state loss, that might not be enough.

The democrats need a candidate who can lose at a much smaller statewide margin so that ballot fraud (absentee collection) in the corrupt counties can reach their goals.  Biden is not that candidate.

That sets up the dynamic where Biden support within the group who will be responsible for covering his deficits has become tenuous.  Remember, Eric Holder and the Chicago network organized the original ballot operation and tested it in California in 2018.  The two weeks after election day 2018 showed 21 GOP win seats on the day of election, flip through the use of the post-election ballot counting. That midterm test in CA was then rolled out nationally in 2020.

The counties that must be relied upon to sway the election are nervous about the scale of lift they will be required to provide. Within that tenuous situation, the ever ego-driven Obama network cannot accept that level of risk. Hence, Obama strategically retreats.

At the same time, the DC intelligence apparatus that needs to pretend the election is legit and support the fraud, is applying pressure on Biden to exit [See WaPo Poll].

The message from Main Justice, the DOJ-CRD and the DHS embeds is that too much fraud would be problematic to achieve.

Team Biden is fully aware of this dynamic, they need to close the gap – not defeat Trump – but close the election gap to a distance that can be successfully closed by the ballot harvesting and manipulation operations.  That’s the focus and impetus behind all of the Biden campaign operations; close the gap.

President Trump is working on gap-widening operations; meaning to push the scale of fraud to a level that cannot be achieved.  Unfortunately, his campaign is having to do the heavy lifting alone.  The people who organize and fund RNC operations do not want the RNC to do anything that would interfere with the ballot fraud operations carried out by the other wing of the two corporate clubs, the DNC.

[Source]

The RNC is focused on the upcoming corporate debate using the Fox Business Network (Murdoch) and the Reagan Library (Bush Inc), an alignment of common interests.  When you stop pretending you realize that impeding DNC ballot fraud operations is against the RNC interests.

Thankfully, the traditional illusion of choice game is becoming so obvious that RNC base voters are eyes-wide-open.  When we first started talking about the UniParty on these pages twelve years ago, few could really understand what that system really entailed.  Now, thanks specifically to the sunlight that Donald Trump provided on the political system, the machinations of the two-party operation, a genuine Potemkin village, are transparently visible.

The RNC and DNC are funded by the same multinationals who identify the approved candidates.  Donald Trump is not an approved candidate for the interests of Wall Street, the multinational corporations, the globalists (writ large), or the Billionaire class who depend on trade and financial systems they control.

Joe Biden is going to Michigan because he needs to close the gap.  President Donald Trump is going to Michigan because he needs to widen the gap.

Just like Team Obama and the DC Administrative State, I do not think Biden can close the gap, and that frames my expectation that Biden will be replaced.

They don’t need a replacement that can win, they just need a replacement that can lose in key states by enough of a margin that can be covered by the ballot fraud operation.

Last point, within the billionaire wing of the Republican apparatus, they are now increasingly ambivalent about the GOP primary.  The main tone/theme that comes out of the circle of professionally GOP billionaires, is that Trump seems inevitable, Trump will likely win, but their failsafe is that a DC republican system will not allow Trump to have the power of the presidency.

We keep watching…

Friday Afternoon Statistic Dump – Border Patrol Reports Over 7.5 million Illegal Aliens Released into U.S. During Biden Term, 5.18 Million are Single Adult Males


September 22, 2023 | Sundance | 324 Comments

The Dept of Homeland Security, Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) waiting until Friday afternoon to drop the latest statistics on illegal alien apprehensions at the U.S. southern border.  [DATA HERE] As a current surge is underway, the August apprehension rate was 304,162, the highest of any month so far on record.

[Press release here]  Since Joe Biden took office over 7.5 million illegal aliens have been encountered and released into the United States. Of that number 5.18 million were single adult males.  This is a wholesale invasion of illegal aliens on a scale never before fathomed.  Joe Biden has created this crisis, and it is getting worse.

[CBP Statistics Source]

As an example of the current surge.  The city of Eagle Pass, Texas, has a population of 28,000 residents with a total of 58 municipal police officers.  Mayor Rolando Salinas of Eagle Pass recently told The New York Post they are bracing for “anywhere between 4,000 to 9,000 migrants” over the next few days.

(NYP) – The tiny city has been besieged by a huge influx of around 11,500 migrants in the last 10 days, a record setting surge.

For comparison, the entire Southern Border set a record when 10,000 people attempted to cross from Mexico in a single day in May.

Salinas signed a new law Wednesday night in anticipation of the influx, making it illegal to trespass in a local park and golf course often used by migrants to enter the city.  It will also allow state troopers to arrest migrants who trespass on city property.

“I’ve never seen people cross like this,” said the mayor, who is also a life-long Eagle Pass resident. “If they’re going to come, they must enter through the port of entry. I know people are desperate, but this is a nation of laws.

“Our cops are overwhelmed. Our firefighters are responding to calls for care for migrants. We don’t have the resources to handle this. “We’ve seen robberies, they’ve broken into homes.” (read more)

The Fake Indictment of Hunter Gathered for the Big Guy


Armstrong Economics Blog/Rule of Law Re-Posted Sep 17, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

5th Circuit August 9, 2023, Gun Case

On August 9th, 2023, the 5th Circuit declared the statute that charges a person who uses drugs with up to 25 years in prison for having a gun and just using drugs was unconstitutional. The DOJ knew that this statute was illegal. So, they deliberately indicted Hunter using this statute, KNOWING that it would be dismissed. This white thing is just a sham intended to pretend they were going after Biden’s son equally as they were going after Trump. This is such a bogus indictment that they can pretend to be balanced when they are not.

While the criminal statutes cited in the indictment are clear — it is a crime to lie on a gun application form or to possess a firearm as a drug user – clearly, these charges were delayed knowing this was in the works and knowing that it was unconstitutional. On the face of it, Hunter Biden appears at risk of being sentenced to as long as 25 years in prison and $750,000 in fines if he is convicted. This is all for show.

In this U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit overturned Patrick Daniels’s conviction, judging a lower court’s initial decision as a violation of his Second Amendment rights. They waited for this decision to charge Hunter, and it is all just really a dog & pony show.

Joe Biden Admin Begs Supreme Court to Let Them Control Social Media Content – Alito Says Maybe


Posted originally on the CTH on September 14, 2023 | Sundance 

Justice Alito is going to allow the Biden Administration to justify why they should be allowed to control all the content on social media platforms and coordinate with the social media companies to remove opinion & information against their interests.  This should be interesting. 😂🤣😂

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Thursday temporarily blocked a lower court ruling that would place restrictions on the Biden administration’s contact with social media companies.

The brief order issued by conservative Justice Samuel Alito came less than two hours after the Justice Department asked the Supreme Court to step in.

It gives the court more time to consider what next steps to take before deciding whether to grant the administration’s request. In the meantime, the lower court ruling will remain on hold until midnight on Sept. 22.

[…] Alito’s order, which does not mean the court will necessarily grant Prelogar’s request once considered in more detail, said the states should respond by Sept. 20.

[…] “The implications of the Fifth Circuit’s holdings are startling,” Prelogar wrote. “The court imposed unprecedented limits on the ability of the President’s closest aides to use the bully pulpit to address matters of public concern, on the FBI’s ability to address threats to the Nation’s security, and on the CDC’s ability to relay public health information at platforms’ request.” (read more)

Methinks they doth protest too much.
