Texas Gov. Greg Abbott sent an SOS to his fellow 49 governors Tuesday asking for help to secure the state’s 1,254-mile-border with Mexico.
Abbott sent a letter to every governor of every U.S. state asking for their help after the public health authority Title 42 ended on May 12 and roughly 150,000 people are estimated to be congregated on the Mexican side approaching to enter the U.S. illegally.
Groups of tens of thousands have already arrived in the Rio Grande Valley and other areas of Texas, overwhelming Border Patrol agents. Gov. Abbott already has sent more than 10,000 Texas National Guard troops as border communities continue to declare emergencies.
The call for help comes after at least 125 known, suspected terrorists have been apprehended illegally entering the southern border this fiscal year and as the former ICE chief argues Biden administration policies are the greatest national security threat since 9/11.

While the Biden administration has sent 1,500 military personnel to help Border Patrol agents process illegal foreign nationals into the U.S., they aren’t acting in a law enforcement capacity.
“Since taking office, President Biden has willfully refused to enforce our nation’s immigration laws while systematically dismantling every effective border security policy that previously led to the lowest number of illegal border crossings in decades,” Abbott wrote the governors. “The resultant surge in illegal immigration and transnational criminal activity is a direct consequence of these misguided actions.
“The flood of illegal border activity invited by the Biden Administration flows directly across the southern border into Texas communities, but this crisis does not stop in our state,” Abbott wrote. “Emboldened Mexican drug cartels and other transnational criminal enterprises profit off this chaos, smuggling people and dangerous drugs like fentanyl into communities nationwide.
“In the federal government’s absence, we, as Governors, must band together to combat President Biden’s ongoing border crisis and ensure the safety and security that all Americans deserve.”
Referring to an Emergency Management Assistance Compact, he said the states are empowered to provide assistance to each other “in times of disaster or emergency, both of which accurately describe the current border crisis.
“Join us in the mission to defend our national sovereignty and territorial integrity and send all available law enforcement personnel and resources to the Texas-Mexico border to serve alongside our thousands of Texas National Guard soldiers and Texas Department of Public Safety troopers,” Abbott urged his fellow governors.

He also explained that the Texas legislature first allocated $4.5 billion on border security operations from 2021-2023 through Operation Lone Star. The current budget is allocating an additional $4.6 billion over the next two years. Texas also began building its own border wall using hundreds of millions of Texas taxpayer dollars and private donations totaling over $55 million so far.
Since March 2021, Operation Lone Star officers have apprehended more than 376,000 illegal foreign nationals and made over 28,000 criminal arrests, with over 25,000 felony charges reported. They’ve also seized more than 416 million lethal doses of fentanyl, enough to kill more than the entire U.S. population.
“Texas alone should not have to shoulder the financial burden of protecting our nation,” Abbott wrote.
He also thanked the governors of Idaho and Florida for already committing to send assistance to secure the Texas-Mexico border.

John Fetterman’s Performance at a Senate Hearing Should Have Everyone Concerned
Senator John Fetterman took part in a Senate Banking Committee hearing on Tuesday and videos of his rambling, incoherent performance should be concerning to everyone who watches.
Fetterman returned to the Senate last month following a six-week stay in the hospital where he was treated for clinical depression. Prior to his election, he experienced a stroke which left him unable to understand words and meanings, or even to express the same.
His struggles are clearly persisting.
“Is it staggering — isn’t it staggering responsibility — that the head of a bank could literally, could literally crash our economy. It’s astonishing,” Fetterman said.
“That’s like if you have — I mean like — and they also realizes that — that now they have — it’s in — they guaranteed a guaranteed way to be saved by … [unintelligible] … how?”John Fetterman participates in a Senate Banking Committee hearing with the former CEO of Silicon Valley Bank. pic.twitter.com/uKILMfuilN

John Fetterman Struggles Through Incoherent Speech at Hearing
The media isn’t doing John Fetterman any favors after his disastrous hearing performance. Washington Post White House economics reporter Jeff Stein completely altered a quote by Fetterman from the same hearing.
“Shouldn’t you have a working requirement after we bail out your bank? Republicans seem to be more preoccupied with SNAP requirements for hungry people than protecting taxpayers that have to bail out these banks,’” Stein quoted Fetterman.
In reality, here’s what he actually said:
Shouldn’t you have a working requirement after we sale your bank with billions of your bank? Because they seem to be more preoccupied, uh when then snap, uh and requirements for works for hungry people, but not about protecting the tax – the tax papers.
We took the liberty of running that through a text comparison program and the Washington Post reporter’s quote only matched the actual quote at a 22% rate.
Stein quietly deleted the tweet after being called out by multiple people on social media. But the fake quote was already out there, published in Fortune magazine and Yahoo Finance.The actual transcript is something. Have to commend Jeff on the absolute work of art it is to have cleaned up Fetterman’s comments into something resembling English.
“Works for hungry people.”
“Tax papers.”https://t.co/LqMYwV3v3U pic.twitter.com/5GE92dz26O
— Rusty (@rustyweiss74) May 17, 2023Later in the hearing, Fetterman again seemingly attacked banks for getting bailed out.
“It’s astonishing. That’s like if you have, I mean like, and they also realize is that now they have … a guaranteed way to be saved by, again, by no matter, by how?” Fetterman said.
“Isn’t it appropriate that this kind of control should be more stricter to prevent this kind of thing from going, or should we go on start bailing and sailing whoever bank regardless of how … their conduct is?”
Nobody answered.RELATED: What a Dope: John Fetterman Tweets Image Holding 4/20 Flag, Celebrating Marijuana Holiday
Things Aren’t Getting Better For Fetterman
Last month, Fetterman chaired his first Senate subcommittee hearing focused on the benefits of food stamps. Quotes from that performance were equally incoherent.
“Americans like Jer… about [???] from the (nath?), to the town of Northeast in Pennsylvania, tells me that his victim was skimming, which was somebody stole money and he relied from his SNAP EBT,” Fetterman opined.John Fetterman chaired a subcommittee hearing today.

— Greg Price (@greg_price11) October 26, 2022But these clips from the hearings show Fetterman isn’t just struggling with hearing people. He can’t speak. He can’t maintain clear thoughts.

Ron Paul Quotes That Still Hold True
More than a decade has passed since the good Doctor’s final presidential campaign in 2012 and his official retirement from Congress. After many decades of public service in the House of Representatives, three presidential campaigns, and countless hours of interviews, dozens of books, and hundreds of articles, Dr. Ron Paul has had a thing or two to say about everything.
In a field where fast one liners and bumper sticker slogans seem to score higher than well thought out, longer explanations for why we do or do not support something, Ron Paul for many has been one of those political figures you may not have understood at first, but after careful examination, you’d realize that the representative from Texas was onto something.
Some would say that Dr. Paul was ahead of the curb decades before many of the early warning signs of foreign military intervention, the police state, and monetary madness finally turned into issues we had to stop ignoring.
Here are some of the best quotes from Ron Paul that exemplify his consistency, ability to identify the root of many of our challenges today, and summary of the immortal truths regarding life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.Very true! pic.twitter.com/as9BxYscTy
— ThePoliticalInsider (@TPInsidr) May 4, 2023RELATED: In 1988, Ron Paul Stood Alone To Warn Us About FBI Corruption (WATCH)
Remembering Where Our Rights Come From
Ron Paul in both his role as a statesmen and his civilian career as a commentator has already tried to remind the citizenry that our rights, in fact, do no come from government, but instead come natural to us and are our birthright as humans. Paul’s arguments are not only founded in his Christian faith, but also echo the direct sentiment of our nation’s Founding Fathers.
One of Paul’s most famous sayings doubled down on this notion:
“There is only one kind of freedom and that’s individual liberty. Our lives come from our creator and our liberty comes from our creator. It has nothing to do with government granting it.”
Despite often finding himself on the opposing side of many of his Republican colleagues, Paul never wanted to use the force of the state to push his ideas on others, extending not just into domestic politics, but also general American ideas abroad which he felt would force other nations to conform to U.S. interest at the expensive of their sovereignty.
“Setting a good example is a far better way to spread ideals than through force of arms.”
He was never one to shy down from pressure or inner-party conflict; the best example being his confrontation with former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani during the 2008 Republican presidential debates, when the two sparred regarding the true causes leading to the events of 9/11.RELATED: Amid Latest Government Secrets Disclosure, Ron Paul Declares JFK Was ‘Murdered by Our Government’
Tough Truths That Never Get Old
Ron Paul spent his years in the House calling out corruption at all levels, especially those that would use the government, either by lobbying to draft constrictive laws or bail out big businesses that should have been allowed to fail, to rig the market in their favor and deprive the citizens of this country of the true value of their hard earned money.
He summed up his belief in the free market:
A system of capitalism presumes sound money, not fiat money manipulated by a central bank. Capitalism cherishes voluntary contracts and interest rates that are determined by savings, not credit creation by a central bank.
Where many conservatives even today still consider the federal government to be the all-powerful source of authority for all changes in our nation, Paul often warned those that the pursuit of power, even when the intentions are well-meaning, would result in tyranny if they utilized a larger, more intrusive government to achieve their goals; for others will ill-intent could then use the same power and authority to impose their will on the masses.
Paul eloquently said:
If you like small government you need to work hard at having a strong national defense that is not so militant. Personal liberty is the purpose of government, to protect liberty – not to run your personal life, not to run the economy, and not to pretend that we can tell the world how they ought to live.

24 Republican Governors Offer to Help Texas Defend Its Southern Border
Texas Governor Greg Abbott put the word out that Texas needs help handling the situation at their southern border.
24 Republican governors stepped up and answered the call.
This is the job of the federal government, but Joe Biden is MIA so someone has to fill the void.
Just The News reports:
24 Republican governors commit to help Texas defend its border
Twenty-four Republican governors have responded to Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s call for help to secure its border with Mexico.
“The federal government’s response handling the expiration of Title 42 has represented a complete failure of the Biden Administration,” the governors said in a joint statement, referring to the end of the public health authority, Title 42, which expired at midnight on May 11.
Title 42 allowed for the quick expulsion of foreign nationals who’d entered the U.S. illegally during the COVID-19 pandemic. With its end, an estimated 150,000 foreign nationals from all over the world are waiting in Mexico to illegally enter the U.S. at any moment, border officials say.
This is after at least more than 7 million people have been apprehended or reported evading capture by law enforcement since President Joe Biden’s been in office.
The Biden administration recently sent 1,500 military personnel to the border and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security sent several thousand federal employees to help Border Patrol agents expedite processing of foreign nationals into the U.S., not to block their entry, administration officials have explained…
The governors pledging support in addition to Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who is deploying troops and resources in the next 24 hours, include those of Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Missouri, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, New Hampshire, Nevada, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wyoming.
This is great news.I thank my fellow Governors for their support as Texas responds to Biden’s border crisis.
Idaho & Florida have answered our call.
Look forward to other Governors joining our effort to provide the security Biden has failed to deliver for Americans.https://t.co/SDY7x8utaP
— Greg Abbott (@GregAbbott_TX) May 17, 2023In @JoeBiden’s America, every state is a border state.
So I’m happy to hear that 24 Republican Governors have agreed to help defend Texas’s border.

FBI Agents Show Up at Childhood Home of Pro-Life Activist (VIDEO)
FBI agents Ashley Roberts and Kathleen Brown showed up at the childhood home of pro-life activist Elise Ketch on April 18 around 2:45 pm.
According to the Ring cameral footage obtained by the Daily Signal, the agents asked to speak with Elise Ketch.
Ketch is a member of PAAU, a progressive anti-abortion group.
“We are both with the FBI,” Ashley Roberts told Ketch’s mother. “We just need to speak with her regarding some information that was sent to us.”
“We would tell you all the information because, like I said, she’s not in any trouble, but just out of respect for her, we’d like to speak with her first,” Roberts said.
It is unclear what the FBI agents wanted from Elise Ketch.

Impeachment Week: Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene to Make a Major Announcement Thursday
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) speaks at President Trump’s Save America rally in Wellington, Ohio, June 26, 2021, photo by Kristinn Taylor.
Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) announced on Wednesday that she will be holding a press conference on Thursday, May 18 at 9 a.m. at the U.S. Capitol to make a major announcement on Impeachment Week.
On Tuesday, Rep. Greene introduced Articles of Impeachment against “corrupt” FBI Director Christopher Wray and U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia and January 6 lead prosecutor Matthew Graves.
According to Greene, under Wray’s watch, “the FBI has intimidated, harassed, & entrapped Americans who have been deemed enemies of the Biden regime. Wray has turned the FBI into Joe Biden and Merrick Garland’s personal police force. Christopher Wray needs to be impeached.”
“Wray continues to materially endanger the justice system of the United States and empower President Joseph R. Biden, Jr., to persecute his political adversaries at will.”
In U.S. Attorney Graves’ case, he declined to prosecute real criminals while at the same time abusing his office by deliberately prosecuting non-violent protestors on January 6.
“During his time in office, U.S. Attorney Graves has totally subverted the justice system of the United States and facilitated the explosion of violent crime in Washington D.C. by refusing to prosecute violent crimes,” said Greene.
“Graves is systematically criminalizing political dissent at the behest of his handlers in the White House. By focusing so much effort on the persecution of political prisoners, Graves has diminished the manpower needed to fight crime not just in DC, but all over the country. DOJ attorneys have been transferred to DC just to help Graves wage his war against political opponents.”
On Wednesday, Greene introduced Articles of Impeachment against U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland and Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas.
“Merrick Garland has weaponized the DOJ against Joe Biden’s political enemies,” said Greene.
“He’s targeted parents who are concerned about their children’s education, targeted Christians and pro-life activists & raided the home of a President,” adding, “He must be impeached.”
In Mayorkas’ case, he has failed to maintain operational control of the border.
“Secretary Mayorkas has aided and abetted the complete invasion of our country by deliberately flooding our nation with drugs, terrorists, and illegal aliens,” Greene said in a press release.Major announcement TOMORROW
I’m holding a press conference tomorrow at 9AM to make a major announcement on #ImpeachmentWeek.

20-Yr Disney Employee, Father-of-Two, Arrested On Child Porn Charges After Photos of Children Under 10 Having Sex With Adult Men Were Found On His Computer: “hot teens in mouse ears are a weakness of mine”
It’s bad enough the Disney Corporation is relentlessly pushing its woke agenda on young children, including its indoctrination of the LGBTQXYZ+ lifestyle on our kids, but curiously, their employees are frequently making news after being arrested and or charged with sex crimes against children.
100 Percent Fed Up reports – One year ago, we reported about 12 child sex predators, including one Disney employee, that were arrested in Polk County, Florida, for attempting to solicit children online for sex.
The twelve suspects all engaged in coercive and lewd behavior towards undercover cops whom they believed to be young children on the internet, and one suspect even rode his bike 10 miles to try and meet the “child.”
Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd addressed the media about the horrific individuals they caught from “as far away as Michigan.” Sheriff Grady Judd told horrific stories about the child predators, including giving explicit details about the Disney bus driver.
Watch Sheriff Grady Judd ask the media, “What would an operation be without a Disney employee? We always have a Disney employee!”:Facing a total of 49 felonies between them all, including traveling to meet a minor for sex, attempted lewd battery, and use of a computer to seduce a child, the suspects are currently being held in jail across several counties.
While Disney makes headlines for its support of LGBTQ+ kids and condemns Florida lawmakers for their recently-passed anti-grooming bill, it’s important to remind the public of Disney’s history of covering up pedophilia within their company. It seems to be on-trend that they want to perpetuate the sexual grooming of children.
Back in 2014, a Disney Cruise Line steward, 36-year-old Ahmed Sofyan, was charged with two counts of molestation and one count of false imprisonment after holding a 13-year-old girl in an unoccupied cabin and molesting her.
When this story was released, an ex-Disney Cruise officer spoke out, reporting a similar instance of child molestation that Disney authorities ordered her not to report just two years prior.
Dawn Taplin, the first female security officer at Disney and second in the entire cruise line industry, was on the cruise ship where this occurred. In 2014, she revealed Disney’s previous molestation cover-up.
In 2012, a Disney cruise ship employee was caught on camera molesting an 11-year-old girl in an elevator. Disney authorities allegedly did not allow security to report the incident.
Video footage from the cruise ship shows Braganza leading a young girl into an elevator
Taplin interviewed the young victim after she and her grandmother reported the crime to Guest Services. The security officer, who had 17 years of experience as a police officer, found the surveillance footage extremely troubling.
The molestation occurred while the cruise ship was still docked at Port Canaveral in Florida while passengers were still boarding. Taplin recalls that they “weren’t going anywhere for another two hours or so.” Since they were still on U.S. land, Taplin notified the ship’s second-in-command and offered to call her FBI contact. However, she did not get the response she anticipated.
“I was ordered not to make any phone calls, do anything at all. Nothing. Period” recalled Taplin. She said that she was told, “Just keep your mouth shut.”
“If a crime is committed while you’re hooked up anywhere here, it is an American, it is a United States, it is a Florida crime,” said Taplin.
Former Disney Cruise Line Security Officer, Dawn Taplin
The ship then departed that afternoon with the suspected perpetrator, Milton Braganza, still on board, leaving other children at risk of falling victim to the same employee. Disney had put its reputation ahead of the children’s safety.
The following day, after the cruise ship had left U.S. waters, the Disney Cruise Line finally notified the Port Canaveral police and the U.S. Coast Guard. However, the case was passed on to the Royal Bahamas Police Force.
“In my professional and personal opinion, I think they wanted to get outside the United States limits and get him off the ship in the Bahamas and just leave it alone,” Taplin said.
Once the ship arrived in Nassau, Braganza admitted to the act he was accused of, but the victim’s grandmother chose not to prosecute. It is unclear why the family chose to step away from this case.
Later, Braganza was flown back to his home country of India at the expense of Disney. The company both arranged and paid for his flight.
Ex-Disney Cruise Line employee, Milton Braganza
The former Security Officer believes that “Disney wouldn’t have gotten away with it if they were Americans.”
Now, another Disney employee, Daniel Rivera, who has worked for Walt Disney World Parks and Resorts for 20 years, is under investigation for a Dropbox account he allegedly owns that contains several images of child pornography which, including grown men having sex with children under the age of 10 yrs old. Rivera has been booked at the Orange County Jail.New York Post reports – Investigators said Rivera, a father-of-two, admitted to obtaining child porn about once a week for the last 10 years and even shared personal information about coworkers on adult sites, the Orlando Sentinel reported.
Rivera allegedly shared about 155 posts on the sites, “including several photos of young girls and women he claims he knows,” according to court records.
Several of them included coworkers dressed as Disney characters, with Rivera allegedly posting in an online forum that “hot teens in mouse ears are a weakness of mine.”During a search of his home last Thursday, police also found a hard drive containing images of girls in “erotic poses.”
Rivera was charged with transporting child pornography, with other charges likely to be filed against him during a court hearing on Wednesday.

Rep. MTG Introduces Articles of Impeachment Against Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas
On Wednesday, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) introduced Articles of Impeachment against Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas.
“Our Southern border is being invaded, overrun & ignored. 1000s of illegal aliens, tons of drugs & even terrorists cross our border every day. Secretary Mayorkas is responsible,” Greene tweeted.
“Today, I’m introducing articles of impeachment to remove him from office.”Our Southern border is being invaded, overrun & ignored.
1000s of illegal aliens, tons of drugs & even terrorists cross our border every day.
Secretary Mayorkas is responsible.
Today, I’m introducing articles of impeachment to remove him from office.https://t.co/QuFp4y1wcu
— Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (@RepMTG) May 17, 2023According to the resolution, “Alejandro Nicholas Mayorkas has failed to maintain operational control of the border, thereby violating the Secure Fence Act of 2006.”
The Secure Fence Act of 2006 (Public Law 109–367) requires that the Secretary of Homeland Security ‘‘maintain operational control over the entire international land and maritime borders of the United States’’.
“Secretary Mayorkas has aided and abetted the complete invasion of our country by deliberately flooding our nation with drugs, terrorists, and illegal aliens,” Greene said in a press release.
“He stated under oath that we have operational control of our borders, while also under oath, he stated that no one has ever achieved operational control of the border. He lied to the American people, he lied under oath, and he has blatantly violated his oath of office,” she added.
More from the press release:
Under Mayorkas’s watch, he has allowed approximately 6 million illegal border encounters, a record amount of fentanyl seized at the border, totaling approximately 40,000 pounds, more than 193 people on terrorist watchlists caught while attempting to cross the border at ports of entry, approximately 1.4 million known “gotaways” who have evaded U.S. authorities, approximately 1,424 deaths of illegals at the Southern border (853 dead illegals – the most ever in a 12-month period—died trying to cross the Southern border in 2022), and an approximate 870% increase in border encounters in just one sector of the Northern border.
During his reign, the annual number of Unaccompanied Alien Children (UAC) referred to HHS custody after crossing illegally has more than tripled over the past two years. There have been more than 348,812 unaccompanied illegal children encountered at the Southern border, with at least 85,000 of these children being missing, and his policies have forced tens of thousands of illegal children into slave labor.
Secretary Mayorkas has repeatedly pulled over 50% of border agents from guarding the border wall and moved them to processing, caring for, and transferring illegals, leaving huge gaps for cartels and smugglers to exploit.
The Secretary provided copious amounts of baby formula to illegal aliens at one of the largest processing centers in the country, all while American mothers and infants were intensely suffering from severe shortages. He flooded a hospital’s maternity unit with illegal aliens, so much so, that American mothers were forced to delay inductions.
Mayorkas canceled border wall construction contracts which would have secured our nation’s border, violated the law by directing DHS to “mass-parole” illegal aliens into the U.S. when federal law specifically prohibits this, encouraged asylum fraud, abused the credible fear standard, and exercised mass catch and release policies.
Not only has Secretary Mayorkas enabled child exploitation, sex and drug trafficking, and fentanyl overdoses, but he has also done everything in his power to put Americans last. His policies, directives, and statements have created a national security crisis and have endangered the lives of American citizens.
As a result of intentionally failing to secure our homeland and putting the lives of every American in danger from his very first day in office, Alejandro Mayorkas is unfit to hold the office of Secretary of Homeland Security and must be impeached.
Rep. Greene introduced Articles of Impeachment against DC U.S. Attorney Matthew Graves and FBI Director Christopher Wray on Tuesday.
She introduced Articles of Impeachment against Attorney General Merrick Garland on Wednesday.

‘Trauma Lives in the Black Body’ – Cori Bush, Dem Reps Call For $14 Trillion in Federal Reparations to Compensate Descendants of Enslaved Africans
Democrat Rep. Cori Bush introduced a resolution demanding what is estimated to be $14 trillion in federal reparations.
Reps. Cori Bush, Rashida Tlaib, Jamaal Bowman and Barbara Lee unveiled the resolution on Wednesday.
Bush said black people ‘continue to live under slavery’ because of the black-white wealth gap.
Rep. Bowman said, “Trauma lives in the black body.”
“Research has shown this from generation to generation trauma lives in the body and lives in the blood vessels and lives in the DNA and the cells and the mind,” Bowman said, according to the Daily Mail.
The Daily Mail reported:
A number of House Democrats led by Rep. Cori Bush introduced a resolution Thursday to reignite a push for federal reparations that would amount to over half the U.S. GDP.
The resolution states that the U.S. has a ‘legal and moral’ obligation to provide reparations for the enslavement of black people and calls for $14 trillion to be paid – ‘at least the amount of the black white wealth gap,’ Bush told DailyMail.com during a press conference.
The entire U.S. GDP was $25 trillion in 2022. The U.S. is already $31.4 trillion in debt and lawmakers are currently engaged in tedious negotiations over where to cut the budget so they can raise the debt limit.
The $14 trillion figure is in line with the findings of Duke University professor and economist William ‘Sandy’ Darity, who estimates the wealth gap is in excess of $300,000 per person and there are roughly 40 million black people whose ancestors were enslaved in the U.S.
