J.D. Vance Wants POTUS to Use Military to Target Drug Cartels

(Dmytro “Henry” Aleksandrov, Headline USA) Sen. J.D. Vance, R-Ohio, said on Sunday that he would “empower” the president to use the military to fight Mexican drug cartels that increasingly gain power day by day.

Vance told Meet The Press host Chuck Todd that the fentanyl crisis that’s originating outside American borders should be combatted with “real American leadership.”

“I want to empower the president of the United States, whether that’s a Democrat or Republican, to use the power of the U.S. military to go after these drug cartels,” Vance said.

He also added that the U.S. must take action because drug cartels have become very influential.

“Here’s the real problem with Mexico, and it’s sort of two-fold: on the one hand, you have the cartels which are arguably the best-funded criminal terrorist organization in the entire world,” Vance said.

“The second thing, Chuck, is we have to recognize the Mexican government is being in a lot of ways destabilized by the constant flow of fentanyl.”

Vance warned that drug cartels could become even more powerful than the country of Mexico three years from now, using Colombia for comparison. Drug Enforcement Administration agents informed Vance that drug cartels’ revenue has increased “fourteen-fold” in the last couple of years. Vance said it is a result of “bad border policies.”

He also said that Americans shouldn’t assume “good faith” from China and Mexico since these two countries are the primary sources of fentanyl and fentanyl-related substances entering the U.S., according to the DEA. The United States must begin to exert economic pressure on China, Vance said.

“The Chinese export a ton to the American markets. They absolutely need the American consumer to be able to run their businesses,” he said.

“We should be willing to say that if you don’t stop sending fentanyl precursors to Mexico and to our own ports of entry, we’re going to really penalize you guys economically.”

The Biden administration should pressure the communist country economically through increasing tariffs to “extract a massive economic cost,” Vance said.

Mexico Triggered by DeSantis Crackdown on Illegal Immigration

(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) The Mexican government has expressed its objections to Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’s recent measures aimed at curbing rampant illegal immigration in the Sunshine State. These measures include enhanced penalties for human smuggling, restrictions on employment eligibility and a ban on identification for illegal aliens.

Mexican officials have raised concerns about these new laws, which were signed by DeSantis on May 10, claiming, without evidence, that the laws would “lead to acts of discrimination and racial profiling.”

The objections from the Mexican government come at a time when border states, Florida included, are increasingly frustrated with the Biden administration’s inaction on the self-inflicted border crisis. As a result, Republican governors have taken unilateral action to address the dangers posed by the administration’s lax stance on border security.

The enhanced penalties for human smuggling, according to the Florida government, aim to deter individuals involved in these criminal activities. Additionally, businesses in the state will now be required to use the federal “E-Verify” system to check employment eligibility, with non-compliant businesses facing a fine of $1,000.

Furthermore, the state will allocate $12 million to continue the transportation of illegal immigrants to sanctuary cities.

DeSantis has described these bills as the “strongest anti-illegal immigration” laws in the country.

“The Biden Border Crisis has wreaked havoc across the United States and has put Americans in danger,” said DeSantis.

He also slammed the Biden administration for being soft on illegal immigration. “In Florida, we will not stand idly by while the federal government abandons its lawful duties to protect our country,”

DeSantis added, “The legislation I signed today gives Florida the most ambitious anti-illegal immigration laws in the country, fighting back against reckless federal government policies and ensuring the Florida taxpayers are not footing the bill for illegal immigration.”

According to Just the News, Florida has experienced a significant increase in illegal immigration through makeshift vessels in the Florida Keys.

Harvard University Plans to Recruit AI to Help Teach Students

(Jacob Bruns, Headline USA) Harvard University plans to have Artificial Intelligence robots teach humans how to code in their fall coding courses, Fox News reported.

Professor David Malan, the Harvard University professor overseeing the course, noted that the change from human teaching is simply the “evolution” of “tradition.”

The AI will be used to teach an introduction to coding courses to incoming freshmen students.

Malan also noted that, by making use of AI, real teachers can give more attention to students in a one-on-one setting.

“Our own hope is that, through AI, we can eventually approximate a 1:1 teacher:student ratio for every student in CS50, as by providing them with software-based tools that, 24/7, can support their learning at a pace and in a style that works best for them individually,” he told the school’s newspaper.

He also added that the aim of the AI bot will not be to simply give students answers, but to guide them through a series of questions.

According to Martin Rand, PactumAI co-founder and CEO, however, AI is not capable of providing sufficient classroom instruction for those children who aspire to excellence.

“I would say the dangers are that we have to consider that these are statistical models,” he said in response, noting that the use of AI might perhaps be viable in lower-level settings.

“These will come up with most probable answers and high probability can also mean mediocrity. So professors need to be there to provide exceptionalism, and I think Harvard has taken the right approach in providing this only to introductory courses,” he added.

Alex Banks, CEO of AI company Aloy, said the development offered potential for advancement, but also warned that “AI has its pitfalls.”

Regarding Malan’s advice that students should “always think critically” when presented with information, Banks wrote that, “‘Always think critically’ of AI is akin to the ‘drink responsibly’ of alcohol.”

GOP Budget Would Defund Globalist WHO

GOP Budget Would Defund Globalist WHO

(Molly Bruns, Headline USA) A recently released document from the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Appropriations revealed that the GOP lawmakers proposed prohibiting “funds for… UNFPA, the World Health Organization, and the Gender Equity and Equality Action Fund.”

According to PJ Media, Republican representatives proposed legislation to take funding away from the globalist organizations in response to a recent announcement from WHO detailing censorship plans they dubbed an “infodemic.”

“The infodemic can directly impact health, hamper the implementation of public health countermeasures and undermine trust and social cohesiveness,” the document read. “Infodemic cannot be eliminated it can only be managed. This is why WHO and partners have developed the approach of infodemic management which encompasses Risk Communication and Community Engagement adding additional tools and approaches to manage it more efficiently in the 21st century.”

Rep. Ralph Norman, R-S.C., wrote a letter to House Speaker Kevin McCarthy in response to WHO’s blatant overreach. Norman urged the speaker to “move forward with cutting the WHO’s funding in appropriations,” and acknowledged that there’s more work to complete.

“I’m glad to see it did come out of the appropriations committee, but we’ve got to follow it through to make sure it passes,” Norman said.

Former President Donald Trump successfully cut funding for the WHO in his first term as president—a decision swiftly undone by the Biden administration coming into power.

Throughout the entirety of the pandemic, the WHO reportedly covered for the Chinese Communist Party’s experimentation resulting in COVID-19 and failure to contain the disease.

Many suspected COVID Czar Anthony Fauci of protecting the WHO and even granting funds to the Wuhan lab where COVID originated. Fauci has been the subject of several federal investigations.

“The WHO is China-centric and panders to Beijing at every turn,” said Congresswoman Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., in a statement. “There is no reason U.S. taxpayers should contribute more than $400 million annually to an organization that covered for China and failed to contain the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic.”

WHO also promoted hasty vaccinations, despite shoddy testing, leading to all kinds of unanticipated repercussions for people all over the world.

Border Patrol Agent Cuts Razor Wire to Allow Illegals to Enter Country

Border Patrol Agent Cuts Razor Wire to Allow Illegals to Enter Country

(Dmytro “Henry” Aleksandrov, Headline USA) Fox News national correspondent Bill Melugin posted a recent video that reportedly showed a Border Patrol agent cut through razor wire installed by the Texas Department of Public Safety.

The wire fencing was meant to stop illegals from crossing the border, but the agent reportedly held the wire out of the way to help them enter.

In his tweet, Melugin wrote that the footage was captured on private property in Eagle Pass, where the owner gave the Texas DPS permission to install razor wire to stop illegals from crossing the border.

The Texas DPS claimed this was the first time the agency was informed that federal Border Patrol agents had acted in such a manner. Additionally, the agency stated that it plans to investigate the “potential destruction of TX property.”

“The federal government’s position is that once migrants are on U.S. soil, under U.S. law, they need to be processed, and cannot be repelled or turned away,” Melugin tweeted.

“Texas is taking a much different approach, and has been physically blocking migrants under orders from Governor @GregAbbott_TX.”

He also wrote that the Border Patrol agent was likely following orders from federal agents, who want this country to be flooded with illegals.

Texas DPS Lieutenant Chris Olivarez also though that the Border Patrol agent was following orders from the Biden administration, the Blaze reported.

“Anyone who crosses the river, once they’re on US soil, Border Patrol agents have no choice, no matter what the conditions are, no matter what barriers are in front of them, they have to allow those immigrants into the country so they can be processed,” Olivarez said.

“By cutting that wire, by cutting that fence that we have placed as a state to repel mass migration, this completely undermines our ability to secure the border. That’s the whole purpose of why we placed that wire along the Rio Grande river is to redirect, to deter any mass groups crossing that dangerous river, especially now with the extreme heat.”

Veterans Warn Family Members to Avoid Serving in Woke Military

Veterans Warn Family Members to Avoid Serving in Woke Military

(Ezekiel Loseke, Headline USA) The woke military is struggling to earn recruits under Biden, as even legacy military families advise their children not to enlist.

The United States military is in a recruiting crisis, according to the Wall Street Journal.

The US Army had its worst recruiting year since 1973, the year it became an all-volunteer force. It missed its recruiting goal by 25%, and anticipated having 15,000 fewer new recruits than needed.

The US Navy did slightly better, but projected being 10,000 new recruits short of the necessary number.

The Air Force is also in crisis as it projected to be 3,000 recruits below its needed number. The Marine Corps expected to meet its target this year, but its leaders say recruiting has been very difficult.

Overall, only 9% of Americans aged 16 to 21 said they would consider serving in the military, according to the Pentagon.

Some military recruiters reported that young people actively prefer working for fast food restaurants.

“To be honest with you it’s Wendy’s, it’s Carl’s Jr.,” said Sgt. Maj. Marco Irenze, of the Nevada Army National Guard. “That’s our competition right now.”

The plunge in popularity is unprecedented according to DoD employees. “I’ve been studying the recruiting market for about 15 years, and we’ve never seen a condition quite like this,” said a senior official.

The military has lost some of its most reliable recruits, the children of veterans.

“Influencers are not telling them to go into the military,” said Adm. Mike Mullen, the former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. “Moms and dads, uncles, coaches and pastors don’t see it as a good choice.”

Even The Wall Street Journal recognized the role that the military’s woke policies have played in decline.

“Those on the right have expressed concerns about the military focusing on progressive issues, or in the terms of some Republican lawmakers, being too ‘woke,'” the newspaper reported.

Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., made the same observation in March, noting that “Left-wing crazies” are  “hollowing out our military.”

Some woke policies that could have contributed to the drop in recruits are:

  • Biden’s prioritizing green energy equipment over military readiness.
  • Tyrannical vaccine mandates that resulted in separation for some service members.
  • The military refusing to grant a single religious exemption for its vaccine mandate.
  • The DoD funding abortions and granting 3 weeks leave for soldiers to kill their babies.
  • The Pentagon prioritizing woke political subjects over veteran suicides.
  • West Point’s woke politics.
  • The Pentagon targeting MAGA politics.

‘Sound of Freedom’ Crushes Woke Disney at Box Office

‘Sound of Freedom’ Crushes Woke Disney at Box Office

(Molly Bruns, Headline USA) Presale tickets for Sound of Freedom, produced by Angel Studios’ and starring actor Jim Caviezel, spiked to $10 million in sales for the film’s July 4 premiere.

According to the Post Millennial, the film is opening in 2,600 different locations. One million tickets were purchased for the film.

The movie was based on the real life of Tim Ballard, who worked in Homeland Security department as a special agent tracking and arresting pedophiles.

Ballard left the department because of increasing frustrations with internal bureaucracy and founded Operation Underground Railroad in 2013, conducting sting operations to save hundreds of children from sex trafficking.

“After 12 years of limitations with government bureaucracy, there were two cases in 2012 that I was told to leave alone,” he said. “I couldn’t. I had gone too deep. My wife and I made the decision to quit the government job to save the children. The only way to do this operation was to walk away from job security.”

Ballard and his wife, Katherine, have nine children, including two that Ballard bought during a sting operation in Haiti.

“I think that story is even more dramatic,” Ballard said, noting that it will be told in the forthcoming sequel.

The success of a movie from a small studio is unprecedented.

For comparison, earning projections for Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, the latest release from Disney, are abysmal. Projections show the movie might make $65 million, after costing $300 million to produce.

Caveizel claimed that this film is one of the most important he has been a part of.

“I am so proud to be a part of this impactful film,” he said. “In fact, I’d say this is the second most important film I’ve done after The Passion Of The Christ.”

The Sound of Freedom premieres at select locations July 4.

Leftists Are Using AI to Rewrite the Bible and Talk to ‘God’

Leftists Are Using AI to Rewrite the Bible and Talk to ‘God’

(Corine Gatti, Headline USA) The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals are using artificial intelligence to overhaul the Bible and change scripture to fit their own globalist agendas.

PETA released an AI version of the biblical creation story that incorporated animal rights and veganism.

In PETA’s creation account titled, The Book, the terms “beasts” and “creatures” were exchanged for “beings,” and the clothing that God provided for Adam and Eve was made of hemp and bamboo instead of animal skin, according to the Daily Caller. Additionally, PETA’s version of Genesis included Abraham and Sarah adopting a dog named “Herbie” from a shelter.

However, religious advocates were concerned about PETA’s use of AI in promoting their agenda.

“Christian ministers are going to have their work cut out for them to help people understand what the real Jesus actually taught on a host of issues,” David Closson, director of the Center for Biblical Worldview at the Family Research Center, told the news outlet.

Darrell Bock from Dallas Theological Seminary likewise criticized PETA’s portrayal of creation. He argued that it’s a misrepresentation of what the Bible presented about creation, calling it “revisionism.”

PETA President Ingrid Newkirk warned the organization may rewrite more books of the Bible in the future.

“The Bible has long been used to justify all forms of oppression, so we’ve used ChatGPT to make it clear that a loving God would never endorse exploitation of or cruelty to animals,” Newkirk said in the press release.

“It took God only six days to create the entire world, but we realized it would take us years to rewrite the whole Bible, which is why we’ve started with just the first book.”

Churches are also using the technology. In Fuerth, Germany, a 40-minute church service was conducted by a ChatGPT robot, featuring prayers, music and a sermon delivered by four different avatars. In March, a Twitch user created an AI version of Jesus for others to engage with through a Q&A game on the gaming platform.

Yuval Noah Harari, the senior advisor with the World Economic Forum, said unified “religions that are actually correct” will be created if AI will replace scriptures. The power of AI can be used to reshape spirituality into the WEF’s globalist idea of “equity” and inclusivism, he added.

NASA Sees $7.6B in Cost Overruns

NASA Sees $7.6B in Cost Overruns

(By Adam Andrzejewski, RealClear Wire) The National Aeronautics and Space Administration has had $7.6 billion in cost overruns in 2023, down from an incredible $12 billion in cost overruns in 2022, according to a Government Accountability Office study.

The overruns come from 16 of NASA’s major projects, though the top four projects comprise the majority of the overruns. These include the Space Launch System, Orion Multi-purpose Crew Vehicle, Exploration Ground Systems and James Webb Space Telescope.

Of these, the Space Launch System and Orion Multi-purpose Crew Vehicle projects led with $2.7 billion and $2.5 billion in overruns, respectively, in both 2022 and 2023. The James Webb Space Telescope had the highest overrun in 2022 at $4.5 billion, but it has since launched and thus has no more overruns in 2023.

Since 2022, out of the 16 major projects, eight have experienced cost overruns or scheduling delays, including some delays of over a year. To combat these overruns and delays, NASA has proposed a simple solution: having discussions on acquisition strategies earlier in the process.

NASA plans to spend $83 billion on major projects, but concerns over its project management and efficiency have lingered for years. The GAO has listed NASA’s acquisition strategy as a High Risk Area since 1990. It is tied for the oldest high risk area on the list, and after 33 years, it has yet to be addressed.

Unlike the colossal Department of Defense, which has some of its inefficiency to blame on its sheer scale, NASA has no excuse for continual cost overruns. If it can’t get its fiscal house in order, Congress should seriously reevaluate its funding levels going forward.
