Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg's assistant robbed, attacked by an illegal immigrant with 5 arrests since 2023

It’s not nearly as much fun being a Soros protégé — or connected to one — as it was three weeks ago.

#6  Schadenfreude. NY tried via lawfare, to hold up Trump, his corporatin and his sons for $368 million via lawfare. Moreover, Letitia James ran on an election campaign of destroying Trump and putting him in jail. How's that working out?

Becerra Says 'We Do the Best We Can' After HHS Loses Contact with Migrant Kids
[Breitbart] Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Xavier Becerra said, “We do the best we can,” after being asked if he would change anything about his tenure. HHS, the Inspector General (IG) revealed, has lost contact with thousands of Unaccompanied Alien Children (UACs) after they were released to adult sponsors in the United States.

During a hearing before the House Immigration Subcommittee, chaired by Rep. Tom McClintock (R-CA), Becerra testified that he would not change any decisions or policies about his tenure.

“Would you change anything that you’ve done in the last four years, with 320,000 children unaccounted for by your administration?” Rep. Tom Tiffany (R-WI) asked Becerra, to which he responded:

We work tirelessly to strengthen and improve the program of the unaccompanied children that come before us and we work really hard to make sure that we first and foremost protect the safety and the wellbeing of those kids. Every day is a challenge and we do the best we can. [Emphasis added]

Some 365,705 UACs have been released into the United States interior from Fiscal Year 2021 through Fiscal Year 2023 — on Becerra’s watch. For comparison, the last two fiscal years of the Trump administration just about 83,100 UACs were released into the U.S. interior.

Tens of thousands of UACs are not showing up to their immigration hearings following their release into the United States interior and, more alarmingly, Immigration and
Customs Enforcement (ICE) has failed to provide Notices to Appear (NTAs) in immigration court to hundreds of thousands of UACs.

“Based on our audit work and according to ICE officials, UACs who do not appear for court are considered at higher risk for trafficking, exploitation, or forced labor,” the IG’s report states:

Although we identified more than 32,000 UACs who did not appear for their immigration court dates, that number may have been much larger had ICE issued NTAs to the more than 291,000 UACs who were not placed into removal proceedings. By not issuing NTAs to all UACs, ICE limits its chances of having contact with UACs when they are released from HHS’ custody, which reduces opportunities to verify their safety. Without an ability to monitor the location and status of UACs, ICE has no assurance UACs are safe from trafficking, exploitation, or forced labor. [Emphasis added]

Likewise, Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) pressed Becerra on whether he could state without any doubt that thousands of UACs whom the agency has lost contact with are safe from harm.

“Can you account for the whereabouts of those 400,000-something children — the 320,000 that were put in the report by the Inspector General and the 85,000 that we talked about before in 2023? Do you know where all of these children are and that they are safe?” Roy asked.

“Congressman, as I explained the process, we get these kids when they are referred to us by the Department of Homeland Security,” Becerra responded. “We then provide them with care while they are in our custody. We lose custody of those kids once we find a vetted sponsor with whom they can stay.”

In February, the HHS IG published a report revealing that in 22 percent of cases, the agency did not conduct proper and safe follow-up calls to check in with UACs released to adult sponsors in the United States.

The Labor Department in Fiscal Year 2023 found an 88 percent increase in child labor trafficking compared to Fiscal Year 2019. Last year, nearly 6,000 children, many of them UACs, were discovered illegally working brutal and often life-threatening jobs.

In April of last year, an HHS whistleblower testified before Congress and warned that the agency is operating a “multi-billion-dollar child trafficking operation” where UACs are being mass released to unvetted adult sponsors.

Government Corruption
Biden administration to forgive almost $5 billion in economic loans to Ukraine
[JTN] The Biden administration confirmed to Congress that it will forgive almost $5 billion in economic loans given to Ukraine.

State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller confirmed the forgiven loans during a Wednesday briefing.

"So we have taken the step that was outlined in the law to cancel those loans, provide that economic assistance to Ukraine," he said, according to Fox News.

Miller explained that when Congress passed a bill to aid Ukraine back in April of this year, $9 billion of the aid was structured as a loan and the administration was allowed to forgive it.

Congress could pass a resolution that could overturn the cancellation.

Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., earlier this week introduced legislation to overturn the cancellation, but it is unlikely to pass in the Senate, which has a Democratic majority.

No. Of course not. Biden might be losing it but he will always be a top notch grifter.

DOD ‘Intentionally Delayed' National Guard Deployment To The Capitol On Jan. 6
[Federalist] Federal bureaucrats within the Department of Defense (DoD) delayed the deployment of the National Guard on Jan. 6, 2021 and covered it up, according to a House Republican investigation of government conduct related to the Capitol riot.

On Thursday, Rep. Barry Loudermilk, R-Ga., who is leading a review of the work completed by the partisan Jan. 6 probe run by then-Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming, sent a letter to the inspector general for the Department of Defense demanding a correction to an agency report published in November 2021.

"This report was the final product of the DoD IG’s review into the events of January 6, and reviewed how the DoD responded to requests for support as the events unfolded," Loudermilk, the chairman of the Subcommittee on Oversight for the House Administration Committee, wrote. "Throughout the Subcommittee’s extensive investigation into the failures of January 6, 2021, we have discovered numerous flaws and inaccuracies in the report that your office has yet to appropriately address."

Such flaws and inaccuracies, however, may have been part of a partisan cover-up after GOP lawmakers discovered the Pentagon was responsible for delays in guard deployment.

"After a thorough examination of emails and documents, including letters, memorandums, agreements, plans, orders, reports, briefings, statements made in congressional hearings, closed-door testimony to the Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol (’Select Committee’), and closed-door testimony made to the DoD IG," Loudermilk wrote, "the Subcommittee’s investigation has concluded that the Department of Defense intentionally delayed the deployment of the DC [National Guard] to the Capitol on January 6, 2021."

"Furthermore," Loudermilk added, "the Subcommittee also maintains that the DoD IG knowingly concealed the extent of the delay in constructing a narrative that is favorable to DoD and Pentagon leadership."

#2  An assault or 'open door tour' on the capital was the intended outcome. Destroying Trump in the courts with a false insurrection charge was the goal.

#3  They sent the help by a circuitous route that approximates JEB Steward path to Gettysburg. The people that conspired to do that ought to be held accountable.

#4  And the commie bastards happened to have a film crew in the Capital that day, shooting a documentary. How convenient, as the SNL Church Lady used to say.
