  1. The Democrats will be wiped out in November. They are PANICKING. Americans are suffering from their bad policies

  2. Gaetz, who managed DeSantis' transition team in 2018, would not comment for this article, nor would his former law partner, Florida’s public safety coordinator Larry Keefe, who represented Vertol in at least one civil lawsuit in 2017, according to court records from Okaloosa County, Florida

    In Vertol's only known case of relocating migrants, the company received an initial $615,000 last week and recruited almost 50 destitute asylum-seeking Venezuelan migrants in San Antonio, gave them food and at least one night’s hotel stay, and then flew them to Martha’s Vineyard,

  3. IMMIGRATION
    Florida migrant-moving company gave GOP cash, has ties to DeSantis' immigration 'czar' and Rep. Matt Gaetz
    Vertol Systems, which has lavished money on Republicans, was once represented by Gaetz and his former law partner, who now works for DeSantis

    The air charter company Gov. Ron DeSantis’ administration hired for his migrant-moving program has contributed big money to some top allies of the governor and was once legally represented by Rep. Matt Gaetz and his former partner, who is now Florida's “public safety czar” in charge of immigration policy

    DeSantis’ administration has refused to release a copy of the $12 million contract with Vertol Systems Company Inc. for its role in administering the “unauthorized alien” program — which state Democrats sought to block with a lawsuit Thursday — nor will the governor’s office comment on the nearly $1.6 million the company has received to send migrants to so-called sanctuary cities that welcome immigrants.

  8. Border Patrol agents are reportedly disappointed by the Trump era

    JULY 15, 2019

    Morale is low at Customs and Border Protection, Politico reports, and Border Patrol agents are apparently none too thrilled with President Trump.

    In a deep dive published on Monday, Politico detailed the dysfunction that has plagued the Border Patrol for years. There was reportedly hope that a White House led by Trump, who ran a 2016 presidential campaign centered on being tough on the southern border, would give the agency its time in the sun.

    House led by Trump, who ran a 2016 presidential campaign centered on being tough on the southern border, would give the agency its time in the sun.

    Turns out, two years in, that's not the case. Workforce morale is reportedly terrible, as it always has been, and it's been difficult both to recruit new members and retain old ones. And, despite the president's promises, the Patrol has made no progress toward hiring 5,000 new agents. In fact, the Trump-era Border Patrol is actually smaller than it was during the Obama years. Their pilot ranks are especially depleted; since Trump took office, the agency has reportedly been unable to meet four out of five requests for helicopter assistance.

    "The results haven't held up to the hope," said one former Border Patrol union official, who was speaking on condition of anonymity. "The agents thought they were going to be the belles at the ball [under the Trump administration]. Trump is not delivering

    SAME PROBLEM.. DIFFERENT PRESIDENT. WHO THE PRESIDENT IS DOESN'T MATTER.

    Border Patrol struggles with surge of migrants in El Paso, Texas
    “To have this kind of a rapid increase," an immigration expert says, "you have to have a lot of factors all operating at the same time.

    EL PASO, Texas — The U.S. Border Patrol says it can’t keep up with the influx of asylum seekers crossing the border, estimating that nearly 1,000 undocumented immigrants are crossing the border illegally every day in the El Paso sector.

    Unloading large groups of people at the border is a cartel tactic, Border Patrol agent Jose Romero said

    Hundreds of agents will be pulled from ports of entry to help El Paso Border Patrol process undocumented immigrants
    The agency's chief said 750 agents will be reassigned indefinitely from across the southwest border to aid the El Paso sector, where agents apprehended more than 1,000 immigrants Monday.

    EL PASO — Saying that his agency has reached a "breaking point" in the face of a surge of undocumented immigrants, Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Kevin McAleenan called on Congress for help and said he's reassigning 750 federal agents stationed at some of the country’s busiest international bridges and trade zones to help overwhelmed U.S. Border Patrol agents

  10. Nice try.

    Inflation is the king of all issues. Go anywhere purple and you’ll know it to be etched in marble. Polls are already moving back against Democrats in Arizona, Georgia, PA, NV, WI, et all.

    And if you think Patty Murray isn’t in big trouble, you’re not even paying attention. Her and the DNC wouldn’t be spending all those millions in WA if she was safe.

  11. "we need to get the October out?"

  12. Because trump corrupted the court & Roe v Wade was put down THATS why trump won’t make it.Plus🤷🏻‍♀️he is a crook

  13. McCarthy did not say the truth on what the Maga Republicans want to do. They want to take social security away, take Medicare away, cut education, take parental rights away from LGBTQ children away, women's health rights away, take people's right to marry who they love away, take books and education.
