SCOTT MECHKOWSKI: Reagan’s Amnesty: Legalize those already here, then lock the door with employer sanctions and real enforcement. The legalization happened. Close to 3 million people got status. The enforcement never showed up. Employers figured out fast that a fake green card and a fake Social Security card satisfied the I-9.

Agricultural worker fraud ran wild. Washington looked the other way because cheap labor was good for business and new voters were good for politics. --Scott Mechkowski

from Scott Mechkowski,

Let’s look at Reagan’s Amnesty real quick: The deal was simple. Legalize those already here, then lock the door with employer sanctions and real enforcement. The legalization happened. Close to 3 million people got status. The enforcement never showed up, border security never happened! Employers figured out fast that a fake green card and a fake Social Security card satisfied the I-9. Agricultural worker fraud ran wild. Washington looked the other way because cheap labor was good for business and new voters were good for politics. I watched the result. Amnesty without enforcement doesn't solve illegal immigration. It advertises it. #NoAmnesty #massdepotations

DR. MAALOUF: While Muslims want everyone to be obsessed with Israel and the fake Gaza genocide, they literally try to murder Christian children.

NYC With a Muslim Mayor #ZohranMamdani Who hired illegals Radical Islamic ☪️ acting as police officers?!!! WTF? Fake NYC 🇺🇸 cops arrested by ICE hours after situation.  

SCOTT MECHKOWSKI: The Citizens of this country are a "Check Book" to these politicians... That's it!

Stop using mouthwash?

SAMA HOOLE: The avocado was built to be eaten by a giant ground sloth, and our ancestors ate the sloth.

The avocado was built to be eaten by a giant ground sloth, and our ancestors ate the sloth. Its stone is the size of a golf ball. No animal alive in the Americas today can swallow one whole and carry it off to plant it somewhere else. For millions of years, something could. Ground sloths the size of elephants. Elephant-like gomphotheres. Toxodons built like rhinos. They swallowed the fruit, wandered off, and dropped the stone miles away in a heap of dung. Then people arrived, and within a few thousand years the giant animals of the Americas were gone. The fruits built for them should have gone with them. In 1982 two ecologists, Daniel Janzen and Paul Martin, gave them a name: anachronisms, fruits still being made for animals that no longer exist. The avocado survived because people started planting it. Around four in five avocados sold on earth today are Hass, and every Hass descends from one seedling a postman called Rudolph Hass planted in his garden in California in the 1920s and patented in 1935.

Avocado toast is a fruit designed for a sloth, saved by the people who ate the sloth, copied from a postman's tree, and sold to you as the natural choice. 

Your gallbladder needs about 10 grams of fat in one sitting to empty properly, and a low-fat diet that never gives it that is how a person ends up on a surgeon's list. The gallbladder is a small bag under the liver that stores bile, and bile is how you digest fat. When fat reaches the gut, a hormone called CCK tells the bag to squeeze, and it empties into the intestine. It only does the job properly when there is enough fat to justify it, and the threshold researchers work to is around 10 grams in a meal. Below that, the bag barely moves. The bile sits there and thickens, and the cholesterol in it starts to crystallise the way anything does in still water. Crystals become sludge, and sludge becomes stones. In 1996 a group of dieters were put on a 520-calorie plan with under 2 grams of fat a day, and another group on 900 calories with 30 grams, including one 10-gram meal put there for no reason except to make the gallbladder empty. Four of the six on the fat-free plan grew gallstones. None of the seven on the fatty plan did, and the trial was stopped early on ethical grounds. Women grow gallstones at about twice the rate men do, and they are also the most likely to have spent twenty years on skimmed milk, egg-white omelettes and chicken breast. So give it the signal every day, in one meal with real fat in it. Ten grams is two whole eggs, a thick slice of cheddar, or a thumb of butter on the steak. A ribeye with the cap on gives it four or five times that, and the bag empties clean.

If yours is still in there, it is asking to be used. Use it. 

DIANA WEST: We had Democrats and Republicans both Joseph McCarthy was a Republican Senator Pat McCarron was a Democrat; this was a bipartisan recognition of the dangers of totalitarianism which has been utterly neutered over the decades, over the generations and we don't even have a grasp on it at this point.

this will be shocking to people, President Truman vetoed [McCarran Internal Security Act of 1950]; he vetoed that law, yes, he did and yet a bipartisan Senate overrode that veto so that we could actually address the subversion that was already changing our system in this very dangerous fashion.  --Diana West 

the situation is so dire in terms of the belief systems animating these far left and Islamic candidates in terms of our system. They're not extreme in their own system.  Go and be a Sharia candidate in the numerous countries of the Islamic world, right, that's fine.  It's not weird or crazy or extreme out there.  It is here.  --Diana West 

4:15.  It was a blue Massacre is what it was, and I know that there are many facets to what happened in the midterms because as we've mentioned before this was not the Democrat Party.  It's not Democrats vs. Republicans, it's communism vs. Republicans.  They are non JFK's party, these people.  The dangerous thing, of course, in my opinion, is about allowing these Marxists in is that once they're in, they're going to find every way to stay in, whether it's cheat to see if she, they will do anything to stay in power and to have what happened last night is puzzling to me.  So how do you see it, how do you break down what we saw last night?

5:02.  Well, I think a good way to start is to get rid of the color blue for the Democrats and move it to red and green.  It's a good idea but I have not done a tight tally on this, but Mike Waller from the Center for Security Policy has posted an interesting comment about this.  He's saying that the red-green axis is becoming the majority coalition in Congress. Now what that means is that there is this very large Marxist factions and Muslim Brotherhood faction that are working together that are going to be the political engine of what we've been talking about for some years now with this red green axis which is essentially two sides of a totalitarian movement that is anti-constitutional and anti-American.  Yeah, it's it's anti-American.  This is where people become so befuddled and rightfully so or perplexed horrified all rightfully so because the question always becomes how can people want to overthrow our government and change her Constitution out of recognition and impose various totalitarian features of Marxism and Islam on us which is unconstitutional and the question is you know there have been the guardrails were pulled off of totalitarians entering into our system many many years ago and it goes back really I've been thinking about this more and more and it goes back to the days when Congress the Senate in particular bipartisan Senate and House looked at the subversion by communists of our government coming out of the World War II years and actually started doing something about it and one of the things they did was that they defined subversion in terms of the totalitarian system that wish to overthrow our country and they drew a big line against it and this was codified in a law called the McCarran Internal Security Act of 1950, which I will tell you, this will be shocking to people, President Truman vetoed it; he vetoed that law, yes, he did and yet a bipartisan Senate overrode that veto so that we could actually address the subversion that was already changing our system in this very dangerous fashion.  And just to make a very long story short, this act, and acts like it, were systematically dismantled by the courts, by the Supreme Court and we were essentially left without the protection that such laws afforded us. You know, when our Founders were beginning their country, we didn't have things like communism and Islam as threats, but this totalitarian threat that's become so pernicious and forceful in the 20th century was addressed by law, but it was taken away from us.  So, we're at this point now where we have subversives being elected, and that kind of language, I know some people will turn off to it, "subversive," what does that mean?  It sounds crazy, red paranoia, this kind of thing.  However, we could define it this way in terms of people who seek a totalitarian destruction of our constitutional republic.  

8:44.  It's a very simple concept and unfortunately, these are the people, the beliefs that seem to be dominant in this new Congress, in this new Senate that we will see seated come 2027.  One thing I think will really shock people is to understand that senator Pat McCarron whose name is on that Internal Security Act 1950 was a Democrat.  No, we had, this was a very bipartisan effort.  We had Democrats and Republicans both Joseph McCarthy was a Republican Senator Pat McCarron was a Democrat; this was a bipartisan recognition of the dangers of totalitarianism which has been utterly neutered over the decades, over the generations and we don't even have a grasp on it at this point.  So this was many, many other factors; this is where we are today.  Unprotected. Lawless.  

10:07.  What were some of the responses, well, what was President Trump's response, what was, someone I'm not a fan of and I would never hope for, what was J. D. Vance's response and some of these so-called pundits out there?

10:33.  It's a shock of course I was not shocked I I don't have high hopes I've seen many people saying how disappointed they were disappointed yes but not shocked I was expecting this I've been feeling the collapse really the kind of dissolution of our agenda are forward motion in many many ways we've watched the Trump agenda you know going forward from closing the border, pardoning J6 prisoners, going forward from those very clean successful acts we've watched a very frustrating two years where I feel Trump fell into trap after trap after trap purposefully set to distract from the agenda, taking him into the Alibaba taverns, Arabian Nights kind of weird rabbit hole of Qatar and Turkey and thinking he was going to solve the problems of the war in Gaza with the border nonsensical traps, and, yes, of course, he's responsible for etc., etc., etc.  I agree, however, I do think that does not take away from the fact that I do believe these traps were set purposely to distract from the agenda, and unfortunately he fell into many of them. Then we also have the, I think, the biggest couple of, biggest culprits would be any other branches of government.  We had a judiciary that has blocked him at every turn, trying to enforce the immigration long I guess actual murders, terrorists, killers, just the most egregious people, terrorists, of course, in the aftermath of October 7 attacks that seem to turn all the politics and all of the world into a new and perilous trap.  And then, of course, we've seen the Senate, a special blame has to be placed on the side remember we had two houses of Congress for these past couple of years and the amount of harm that the GOP Senate did to the Trump agenda, to me, it's not to Donald Trump, it means to us, we elected him.  This is an act of war against the people.  That Senate under John Thune has been the single largest factor in the derailment of the Trump agenda as it's gone forward between courts and the Senate, get the save America Act to where voter ID and other protections of the vote by this time.  We did not pass that.  We did not get a single,  President Trump did not get a single recess appointment he did not get any of his agenda items codified by this Senate, by John Thune from this very small state, and it's not just Thune, it's not really his personality, one person.  All of the GOP Senators who did not do something about this.   So there has been a sabotage of the American people over these two years that we see coming out in this absolutely catastrophic election.  And I think catastrophic because it isn't really . . . , you know, I lived through I lived in Washington for many years.  I watched these elections, midterms, the president losing power, going back to the other party, this and that some big wins, you know, over the years.  You see these rocking back and forth of these matters.  This is not normal.  These people elected in this new class, you know, in the next class of Congress, they are coming from an extremism that is off the charts.  The spectrum has to be extended to include these people coming from democratic socialists, coming from proponents of Islam, Sharia, Etc.  The election to the Senate of el-Sayed is an absolute nadir, and I'm sure there will be more.  Because this is someone who is so clearly identified with various arms fronts organizations personalities money funding all connected to the larger Muslim Brotherhood orbit of jihad. And yet even so, in a state like Michigan, which last time I looked still remain the majority of Americans.  It is not an Arab colonized State at this point despite the large Muslim population and it's still very tiny by percentage points. However, it works whether there was fraud or not, it really doesn't matter.  I mean it matters but not in the sense of the actual electoral outcome.  I don't think there was fraud to an extent well we'll never know because we end up with this senate seat very important a senate seat in the hands of an outside and even there that cannot be turned back and then you have I mean the different delegations, New York, New Jersey.  We had a New Jersey congressman who was I think you could call him a character witness for the blind sheiks in the World Trade Center bombing in 1993.  He was a defense witness.  Yeah more and it goes on you can start tearing these things out so when you're looking at this kind of an election it is electing enemies of this constitutional republic now hold seats in this constitutional republic so it's a very stark situation and then the question becomes will president Trump "work with Democrats"?  I'm already hearing that noxious phrase. And I would just like to put it out there to people, the situation is so dire in terms of the belief systems animating these far left and Islamic candidates in terms of our system. They're not extreme in their own system.  Go and be a Sharia candidate in the numerous countries of the Islamic world, right, that's fine.  It's not weird or crazy or extreme out there.  It is here.  

SCOTT MECHKOWSKI: Here's what actually happened. His father was deported in March 2025 and left him here. For the next year and a half he lived with an uncle who never had legal custody. A school emergency-contact form is not guardianship. Under federal law, a child here with no parent and no legal guardian is an unaccompanied minor. Period.

VARROCK: Multiple med/pre-med students at the University of Michigan were caught planning to poison future patients if they weren't "aligned with Palestine" while also planning to kill fellow students and teachers. U of M refused to condemn their actions.

Canary Mission explains, 

The rhetoric and actions taken by the eight people indicted in the University of Michigan conspiracy case was not just extreme. It was violent, threatening, and openly conspiratorial. According to the indictment, one defendant said: “I’m gonna be the dirtiest f**king doctor ever.”

Another said: “get into that house then burn it down.”

DAIRY

LEAN MEATS
Chicken breasts, lean pork or lean steak that has the fat stripped off of it.  Fat is a set of essential nutrients.  There are essential fatty acids that you have to have or you will get sick and die.  There are essential fat-soluble nutrients that you have to have or you will get sick and die.  It's also essential to get your nutrient source outside of "just" protein.  So if you're on a ketogenic diet, like a carnivore diet, and really what you're eating is protein and fat with minimal carbohydrates, you need to get the majority of your energy from fat because that is what your body typically uses for energy.  If it needs to and it starts cutting into protein in order to generate energy, it has to break down those amino acids and pull off an amino group, the nitrogen group, and then that gets turned into ammonia, and that gets turned into urea in the liver.  However, if you're eating predominately eating lean meat and protein with very little fat and very little carbohydrates, you'll find that you'll get a build up of that ammonia and it can overwhelm your liver's ability to turn it into urea.  And so you can get a serious problem with high ammonia levels, and this is called protein poisoning.  People lose their hair, yes, they lost weight but they lose their health and they get very sick.  This is what bodybuilders when they're in their cutting phase going toward competition.  They cut out fat, they cut out carbs, and just eat a lot of lean protein.  Yes, they get lean, but they feel miserable doing that.  And they all say you can't keep up this year round because you just feel miserable.  You get too sick and it destroys your hormones and your health generally.  So when people are having problems with carnivore, it's often because they're listening to this horrible advise from people trying to sell you $2,000, $3,000 program and weight-loss package where they take other people's information and get it wrong and tell you to cut calories and eat ultra lean.  Yes, they're losing weight but it's like that bodybuilder cutting for a competition; they get very sick and they trash their hormones.  People say, "This hurt my hormones.  This hurt my thyroid."  It's often the ones that are eating the super-low fat to try to lose weight. 

SCOTT MECHKOWSKI: Surprise!!! LA's Mayor-Elect Backed her LA Latino Mob Over Facts, then doubled down.

Just love some of the fetid content that emits from the mouths of LA [Marxist] mayors.  

"A hospital should be the one place where people feel safe," Bass posted on X. "No one should have to think twice about receiving care or fear that a loved one's treatment could be interrupted because of their immigration status." 

I would have thought that being away in an African country, Ghana, would be the one place where a mayor could feel safe from criticism and finger pointing for conspiring against LA residents in an official unofficial arson campaign.

🚨🚨Surprise!!! LA's Mayor-Elect Picked the Mob Over the Facts and doubled down🚨🚨 Friday night ICE officers brought a man in their custody to the ER at White Memorial in Boyle Heights so he could get medical care. That's what officers are supposed to do. A crowd showed up, and according to LAPD, hospital security reported about 30 protesters breached the ambulance area. Interestingly enough, no arrests were made but I continue . Officers formed a line to hold them back, and on video an officer says one of the people they arrested assaulted a federal agent. Not surprised hasn't even taken office yet and she ran straight to X. ICE was "obstructing emergency room entry" and "detained two US citizens." Typical response for people like her but hey LA voted her, good luck LA. Not one word about the crowd in the ambulance bay. Not one word about the assault. DHS hadn't said anything, no names were out, no charges were out, and the only source for "US citizens" is the guy holding the camera. You've got a prisoner, a doctor, and a hallway full of staff and other patients to protect. When a mob pushes into the ambulance bay you hold a line or somebody gets hurt. Regardless of what a hospital spokesperson says they aren’t law enforcement professionals. The reason ambulances got diverted is the people who swarmed the entrance, not the officers holding them back.
She picked her side before she knew a single fact. This is no different than the other cases I report on , all fabricated for shock and awe.

SAMA HOOLE: A golden eagle on a hare goes straight through to the heart and liver and leaves the back legs for the fox.

Across every ocean and continent the first mouthful goes to the fat, the organs and the marrow, and none of them learnt it from anybody. --Sama Hoole.
A lion opens a zebra at the belly and eats the stomach, liver and intestines while the hindquarters are still warm and untouched beside it. A leopard drags a kill up a tree with its teeth, and the first thing it takes in the branches is the innards. A pack of wild dogs tears the belly open on the run and the organs are gone before the animal has stopped kicking. A house cat brings a mouse in and eats the head. The brain, the eyes, the fat behind them. The body is left on the mat as a gift. A raven lands on a dead sheep and takes the eyes and the tongue, the two softest, fattiest things on the carcass, and leaves the rest to whatever comes after it. A golden eagle on a hare goes straight through to the heart and liver and leaves the back legs for the fox. A tiger starts at the rump and works into the body cavity, and a wolf pack opens the chest for the heart and lungs before anybody touches a ham. A Greenland shark is pulled up with a stomach full of seal blubber and not a shred of seal muscle. Across every ocean and continent the first mouthful goes to the fat, the organs and the marrow, and none of them learnt it from anybody. Then there is you, with a stomach as acid as a vulture's, a gallbladder sitting primed under your liver, and two million years of ancestors who walked miles to a carcass for the parts nothing else could open. You order the turkey breast. You pay extra for the mince with the fat taken out. You lift the skin off the salmon with a fork and push it to the side of the plate like a bone. You carve the fat off a sirloin with the care of a man defusing a bomb, then leave it on the rim for the waiter. You drain the dripping off the roast and down the sink, and the Sunday fat goes to the drains instead of the family. Then you buy collagen powder, fish oil capsules and a vitamin A tablet to put back a fraction of what you just scraped into the bin.

Every creature on that list, shown your plate, would assume a bigger animal had eaten first.

ANNA D. WEST: This is what modern Hollywood films present us instead. Interfaith dialogue and a Saladin who respects the cross more than....the Crusaders. This is how you end up with CAIR endorsed candidates winning office.

from Anna D. West,

When Saladin took Jerusalem, 1187, he destroyed all the crosses, including the relic of the True Cross which the Muslims took in battle. They paraded them before Christians before destroying them, even urinating on some of them.  
He had 200-300 Christian Knights beheaded while he watched. He had 8000 women and children enslaved that day alone, including noble women and nuns forced into concubinage. Muslims enthusiastically described the deflowering and r*pe of the Christian women. Through his entire campaign it's estimated that 40-50k Christians were enslaved. This is what modern Hollywood films present us instead. Interfaith dialogue and a Saladin who respects the cross more than....the Crusaders.

This is how you end up with CAIR endorsed candidates winning office. A population fed CAIR-endorsed films like this one. 

The 1935 film, directed by Cecil B. De Mille, is titled, The Crusades.

Raynald of Chatillon, 1125-1187.

SCOTT MECHKOWSKI: Plenty never showed up at all. Immigration judges issued 485,456 removal orders in fiscal 2025, and according to the Congressional Research Service, 306,557 of them were in absentia. ICE is funded through 2029.

from Scott Mechkowski,

Start with the law itself. The Immigration and Nationality Act is one of the thickest statutes Congress has ever passed. Look at the grounds that make someone removable from this country, and you’ll find the criminal ones are a small slice: section 212(a)(2) on the inadmissibility side and section 237(a)(2) on the deportability side. Nearly everything else is non-criminal. Entering without inspection. Overstaying a visa. Visa fraud. Falsely claiming to be a citizen. Violating the terms of the visa you came in on.

That’s by design. Removal is a civil process. Congress never wrote an immigration law that only applies to criminals, and no president of either party has ever enforced one. The Obama administration removed 438,421 people in fiscal 2013. In 2014, Janet Murguía, head of the pro-amnesty National Council of La Raza, branded Obama the “deporter-in-chief” and complained that people with no criminal record were being sent home. She called the label a fact. She was right, and she made my point for me. Under the same law ICE enforces today, a Democratic president removed people who had never been convicted of anything, and Democrats in Washington kept writing the checks.

Talk about your due process.  It's endless.

Here’s what the word leaves out. A final order of removal is the end of the line, not the beginning. The alien was served a Notice to Appear with the charges and a hearing date. An immigration judge heard the case. He could bring a lawyer, present evidence, and apply for asylum, withholding of removal, protection under the Convention Against Torture, or cancellation of removal. If he lost, he could appeal to the Board of Immigration Appeals and then to a federal circuit court. He could file motions to reopen and ask for a stay. Many were free on release the whole time, on the promise they’d show up and comply.   
Plenty never showed up at all. Immigration judges issued 485,456 removal orders in fiscal 2025, and according to the Congressional Research Service, 306,557 of them were in absentia. The alien didn’t come to court. Not for the hearing, and not for the asylum claim; many of them filed themselves. 
That’s how you end up with roughly 1.6 million aliens on ICE’s non-detained docket with final orders, up from 1.29 million in October 2023. These aren’t people waiting on a decision. The decision was made. They decided it didn’t apply to them.  
And a lot of these “non-criminals” aren’t even that. Entering the country illegally is a federal misdemeanor under 8 U.S.C. 1325. Willfully failing to depart after a final order is a federal crime under 8 U.S.C. 1253. In the headlines, “non-criminal” usually means never charged, not never broke the law. A man who has spent ten years defying an immigration judge’s order is a fugitive. If an American walked away from a court judgment for a decade, nobody would call his record clean.

Democrats won both houses of Congress on Tuesday, and they’ll spend the next two years holding hearings about “non-criminals.” Fine. Hold them. But section 241 of the INA directs the government to detain and remove aliens under final orders, and gives it 90 days to do it. ICE is funded through 2029. If Congress wants a criminals-only immigration law, it can try to pass one. Until then, ICE enforces the one on the books.
