The Patriot Post® · Thursday Executive News Summary
Top of the Fold
Biden’s biggest success: Joe Biden’s open borders are bringing in more chaos and perhaps more future Democrat voters than even he could have hoped. “Border Patrol agents encountered 153,941 migrants at the southern border in January,” reports National Review. That’s “a record high for the month of January going back at least to the year 2000.” Administration players don’t see this flood ending anytime soon … because it’s “working.” That said, Democrats are being warned to deny backing amnesty ahead of the elections.
BLM, the new Clinton Foundation: We’ve noted the financial shenanigans surrounding Black Lives Matter, but new revelations bring another twist: The Clintonistas are riding to the rescue. “Prominent Democratic lawyer Marc Elias and another longtime ally of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton have taken on key roles in the charity,” reports the Washington Examiner. “Elias [is] best known for his funding of British ex-spy Christopher Steele’s discredited anti-Trump dossier while he served as Clinton’s 2016 campaign general counsel.” The other Clinton player is the delightfully named Minyon Moore.
Biden’s racist SCOTUS gambit grows: The president plans to discriminate based on race when choosing his nominee to take Stephen Breyer’s soon-to-be-vacant Supreme Court seat. His only candidates are black women, and rumor has it that he’s allowing a black man to choose that black woman for him. James Clyburn of South Carolina, who might have singlehandedly saved Biden’s presidential primary bid, reportedly really wants U.S. District Judge J. Michelle Childs to be the nominee. Two other names floating high are DC Circuit Court Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson and California Supreme Court Justice Leondra R. Kruger.
