Viral immigration presentation using a classic kids’ staple comes back to haunt Harris 30 years later

An old video of NumbersUSA founder Roy Beck using gumballs to describe the perils of mass migration into the United States went viral again last week, which the group he founded says demonstrates the timelessness of his message.

“Some people say that mass immigration into the United States can help reduce world poverty. Is that true? Well, no it’s not,” Beck said in the video. NumbersUSA, an advocacy group for limiting legal and illegal immigration, says the presentation has gotten more than 140 million views on various platforms over the years.

In Secret Talks, U.S. Offers Amnesty to Venezuela’s Maduro for Ceding Power

Long-shot American attempt fueled by opposition effort to document strongman’s overwhelming defeat at the polls

BOGOTA—The U.S. is pursuing a long-shot bid to push Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro to give up power in exchange for amnesty as overwhelming evidence emerges that the strongman lost last month’s election, people familiar with the matter said.The U.S. has discussed pardons for Maduro and top lieutenants of his who face Justice Department indictments, said three people familiar with the Biden administration deliberation. One of the people said the U.S. has put “everything on the table” to persuade Maduro to leave before his term ends in January.

Another person familiar with the talks said the U.S. would be open to providing guarantees not to pursue those regime figures for extradition. The U.S. in 2020 placed a $15 million bounty for information leading to Maduro’s arrest on charges of conspiring with his allies to flood the U.S. with cocaine.

The talks represent a flicker of hope for a Venezuelan political opposition that meticulously collected voter tallies showing its candidate, little-known former diplomat Edmundo González, defeated Maduro in a landslide in the July 28 election. Over the past two weeks, Maduro has jailed thousands of dissidents, maintained the military’s loyalty and tasked the Supreme Court, stacked with his handpicked allies, with resolving the election impasse, buying him time.

Concerning America’s Ability to Protect and Defend Its Very Future

While the world’s attention is focused on the Middle East as the next probable flashpoint, it would be wise to look to the skies over the Bering Sea, near the coast of Alaska.

China’s People’s Liberation Army Air Force is now getting a good look at the continental United States. And they are doing it from bombers flying in formation with their allies, the Russians.

Over the last number of years, China has been confronting Japan, the Philippines, and Taiwan with provocative naval and air exercises. Now add the United States to their list of targets. This time, however, they are working in close coordination with the Russians.

Biden-Harris admin colluded with big tech, Trudeau to undermine Canadian freedom truckers

Explosive Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) documents released to the Gun Owners of America (GOA), obtained by The Post Millennial, reveal how the Biden administration colluded with social media and conspired with the Trudeau government to deplatform and censor the protesting truckers of Canada’s Freedom Convoy in 2022.

The FOIA request was filed by the GOA with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to see if they were being subject to any unwanted federal surveillance. The documents released by DHS and first posted by Ammoland Shooting Sports News revealed this interesting tidbit in an email from Samantha Vinograd to Robert Silvers.

‘Just in Time’ Defense Modernization: Will the United States Miss the Boat?

The US election in November 2024 may well determine the future direction of US national security strategy. In the past year, there has been a steady stream of thoughtful reports about what America’s national security strategy should be. This is a discussion that will hopefully be taken up by the various campaigns of those seeking the presidency.

Four reports are particularly worth attention. They all assess in various detail the current and projected US nuclear posture as well as the nuclear threats the United States faces, especially compared to the situation of a decade and a half ago.

Trump Challenges Harris to Debates, Calls Out New Rival for Ducking Media

Former president Donald Trump challenged Vice President Kamala Harris to three debates during a Thursday press conference at Mar-a-Lago, pointing out that his new rival has avoided unscripted media appearances since replacing President Biden atop the Democratic ticket.

Trump said that he has agreed to appear at three debates, one on September 4 on Fox News, a second on ABC on September 10, and a third on NBC on September 25. Harris had previously said that she would attend the ABC debate but it’s unclear whether she’ll appear for the other two contests.

Presidential candidate Kamallah Harris open to discuss arms embargo on Israel – report

Vice President and presidential candidate Kamala Harris met with two Arab Americans leading the Uncommitted National Movement, who asked her to consider an arms embargo on Israel, at a campaign stop in Michigan, the New York Times reported.

Just before her rally, Harris met with Abbas Alawieh and Layla Elabed, who, according to the report, “wanted to support her but… wanted her to consider an arms embargo.” In response, Harris indicated she was “open to it” and introduced the two community leaders to her staff.

Haras Rafiq: British, Canadian ‘soft’ counter-terrorism tactics have failed

Canada’s systemic reluctance to tackle extremist ideology is coming home to roost. Two weeks ago, Edmonton gas station employee Khaled Hussein was convicted on multiple charges under Britain’s Terrorism Act alongside radical British preacher Anjem Choudary. Last week, the RCMP announced the arrest of a father and son, Ahmed Fouad Mostafa Eldidi and Mostafa Eldidi in Richmond Hill, Ont. on charges that include conspiracy to commit murder for the benefit or at the direction of ISIS.

Some easy steps on terror front

… Seventy-eight per cent of 30,746 immigration investigations in 2022-23 ended with CBSA’s determination that the individual in question was “inadmissible” to Canada. There are many reasons why you might be found “inadmissible,” including security concerns, human rights violations, criminal record, misrepresentation, health issues, a loss of refugee status, etc.  That’s not a one-off: CBSA inadmissibility findings were even higher in 2021 and 2022.

If the vast majority of CBSA investigations turn up troubling information, it’s frightening to think our immigration screeners missed a publicly available ISIS execution video where Ahmed Eldidi allegedly dismembered “a spy” in Western Iraq prior to being granted Canadian citizenship. Was this a case of bad luck, underfunding, or inadequate training at our embassy in Egypt?

Soviet America’s revolutionary wars

The Evil Empire failed to avert its destruction by exporting revolution beyond its borders. A self-righteous liberal empire will fare no better

Niall Ferguson is far from the first intellectual to compare the United States today to the Soviet Union of old. But Ferguson’s Free Press essay “We’re All Soviets Now” stirred up more discussion, and outrage, than earlier forays by others on the same theme. (Ferguson himself credits the Princeton professor Harold James with originating the phrase “Late Soviet America.”)
