There was breaking news late Wednesday that the Biden administration is planning “a string of new executive actions … in an effort to curb migration at the U.S. southern border.”
 
Sources familiar with the plans say an announcement of these new policies will likely be timed around the upcoming State of the Union address.
 
The reason for this sudden change is obvious. The American people believe we are being invaded, and the immigration issue has emerged as a major liability for Biden and his party.
 
But this simply proves one thing: Biden has been lying all along.
 
First of all, “Border Czar” Kamala Harris, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, and Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas have repeatedly insisted that “the border is secure.” That’s an obvious lie.
 
But Biden’s excuse for doing nothing the past three years was the absurd claim that he had “done all I can do” and that Congress had to pass new laws to give him the authority to act on the border.
 
That was another obvious lie, and these reports of “executive actions” prove it.
 
By the way, Biden took more than 60 executive actions to gut border security and enforcement of our immigration laws. The result of his actions has been an unmitigated disaster.
 
 
 
Media Bias
 
We’ve noticed in recent weeks that the left-wing cabal is going all out to frighten the American people. Seeing that Donald Trump is doing well, they are coming out with all the things they believe he will do if their efforts to destroy him fail and he is returned to the White House.
 
For example, there were multiple stories Wednesday that — horror of horrors — Trump intends to bring “Christian nationalists” into his administration. Translation: A lot of Christians who love America will be able to work in Trump’s second term. We’ll be writing more about that in the days ahead.
 
But what caught my attention yesterday was this headline from the Washington Post, “Trump Team Sees Camps For Deported.”
 
The word “camps” is intended to conjure up images of the Holocaust and Japanese internment camps. It is meant to frighten voters.
 
The Washington Post has been silent about the fact that when Biden allowed 7 million people to invade America, there were camps set up — at airports, at schools, at community centers, at hotels, and at police stations.
 
In fact, Biden even set up migrant camps on our military bases.
 
Clearly, when 7 million people who shouldn’t be here walked across our border, the Biden administration set up a lot of camps! And if we objected, we were called “haters.”
 
But if you want to send some of those people back to their native countries and set up camps to process them out, to the left-wing hacks at the Washington Post that smacks of “evil days ahead.”
 
 
 
When Aliens Attack
 
There is growing alarm from law enforcement and national security experts at the increasing number of illegal aliens coming from nations halfway around the world and nations hostile to U.S. interests.
 
For example, when a reporter asked one recently detained illegal alien where he was from, he gave this threatening reply, “Soon, you’re going to know who I am.”
 
Americans rightly believe our country is being invaded by a foreign force embedded among the seven million who have entered the United States. But the massive migrant influx is in itself an attack.
 
We’re told that most of the people coming here just want to find work. But that doesn’t matter. Their sheer numbers have provided cover for those who mean us harm.
 
City after city is reporting a major crime wave fueled by illegal immigration, and authorities are worried about violent gangs joining forces.
 
Do we have such a shortage of criminals that we must import them, too?
 
 
 
Speaking Of Attacks…
 
Tens of thousands of Americans woke up yesterday and found that their cellular service was down and they couldn’t access the internet. Multiple phone companies and even some emergency 911 systems were impacted.
 
As of this writing, it is not entirely clear what caused the mass communication outage. But we do know that a cyberattack is affecting pharmacies all over the country.
 
We also know there has been a serious increase in cyberattacks aimed at our critical infrastructure. We know enemies of the United States are harassing us and preparing for war while there is still a pushover in the White House.
 
 
 
Garbage In, Garbage Out
 
There’s an old saying in computer science about programming: Garbage in, garbage out. In other words, what the computer produces is based on the quality of its human programming.
 
Well, we just got an infuriating example of the risk we face from Big Tech “artificial intelligence” (AI) platforms that are obviously being programmed by radical leftists to indoctrinate the country.
 
Google’s AI chatbot, Gemini, has been temporarily shut down for being overwhelmingly stupid and widely mocked for refusing to produce images featuring white men and women.
 
For example, when asked to show representative images of the Founding Fathers in 1789, Gemini produced a series of pictures full of various minorities, including one man with a turban.
 
Gemini even turned George Washington into a black man, explaining that it was trying to “provide a more accurate and inclusive representation of the historical context.”
 
It produced similarly inaccurate images when asked to create a picture of a pope or people who fought in the French Revolution. When asked to create an image of a Viking, Gemini produced “a shirtless black man with rainbow feathers.”
 
One user asked Gemini to create an image of a church in San Francisco. It refused because San Francisco sits on land once occupied by a Native American tribe.
 
Of course, this kind of nonsense is nothing new for Google. Its famous search engine has been discriminating against conservative media outlets and ideas for years.
 
I am reminded of the famous George Orwell quote, “Who controls the past controls the future.” We just got a glimpse of the Orwellian future that awaits us as the neo-Marxist left increasingly uses AI to manipulate us.
 
 
 
Weaponization Of The Law
 
The two systems of justice in America — one for conservatives and one for leftists — just suffered a defeat in California of all places.
 
Federal Judge Cormac Carney was hearing a case involving violent assaults at pro-Trump events in 2017. The two groups involved in the violence were the left-wing radicals of Antifa and members of the Rise Above Movement (RAM), a “white nationalist” group.
 
In another example of the weaponization of the law, prosecutors only pressed charges against the RAM members and did not prosecute the Antifa thugs. Judge Carney ruled that the government’s selective prosecution was “constitutionally impermissible.”
 
Carney’s opinion offered an excellent defense of the First Amendment and free speech, and he declared that the government cannot prosecute one violent group and not another violent group simply because it finds one engaged in “more offensive speech.”
 
 
 
Defending Faith, Family & Freedom
 
In this week’s “Defending Faith, Family, & Freedom” podcast for the James Dobson Family Institute, I discuss three recent examples of the left’s war on truth, reality, and common sense.
 
Whether we like it or not, the culture war is very real, and only one side can prevail. Men and women of faith must be engaged in this great battle for America.
