London Goes from 97% White Citizens to 37% as City Degenerates into Chaos– lidblog.com Source Link Excerpt:
The city of London, England, was once 97 percent white. It is now 37 percent white as the town continues to devolve into chaos and degradation.
As the Gateway Pundit reported, Harrison Pitt, a prominent writer and thinker in Britain’s national conservative sphere, and Peter Whittle, founder of New Culture Forum, sat down recently for a discussion about the disintegration of the United Kingdom.
During the far-reaching discussion, Whittle noted that “London has stopped being my city.”
As Gateway notes:
[Whittle ] also discusses the failure of political leaders to address these issues and the need for more radical reform.
Whittle argues that London—a city that he says is now increasingly transactional and disconnected from its historical roots—has lost its cultural soul due to the demographic shift.
He observes that many of today’s London residents lack the collective memories and shared experiences that once shaped the city’s identity and served as a unifying cultural and social fabric.
Kristi Noem, announces construction of 7 more miles of border wall starting today– gatewayhispanic.com Source Link Excerpt:
Kristi Noem, Secretary of Homeland Security, has announced the start of construction on an additional seven miles of border wall as part of the Trump administration’s efforts to strengthen security along the southern border of the United States. This announcement reinforces the administration’s commitment to protecting national sovereignty and reducing the illegal trafficking of drugs, guns and people that has plagued the country in recent years.
‘Our nation’s security is non-negotiable,’ Noem declared during the press conference in Texas, where the first phases of the project will be carried out. ‘Under President Trump’s leadership, we are taking back control of our border and sending a clear message to the cartels and human traffickers: you are not welcome in our country.’
Since assuming leadership of the Department of Homeland Security, Noem has prioritised the implementation of tougher and more effective immigration policies, seeking to reverse the border crisis inherited from the Biden administration. With the completion of these seven miles of wall, it is hoped to reinforce strategic points that have been used by criminal organisations to facilitate the illegal entry of migrants and the trafficking of drugs such as fentanyl, one of the greatest threats to US public security.

Mexico has avoided a U.S. tariff by sending 10,000 Mexican troops to the U.S. border to help prevent the flow of fentanyl going into Mexico. The Mexican troops were sent to Mexican border states Baja California, Sonora, and Tamaulipas.
Mexico deploys 10,000 troops to US border- Washington Examiner– www.washingtonexaminer.com Source Link Excerpt:
Mexico has begun to deploy 10,000 military troops to its border with the United States as part of the country’s effort to deter illegal immigration and drug smuggling northbound.
Mexico has launched Operative Frontera Norte, Spanish for Operation Northern Border, as part of an effort to bolster security along its northern cities and towns.
The move comes following weekend negotiations with the Trump administration. President Donald Trump demanded Mexico crack down on the movement of fentanyl over the border or face 25% tariffs on goods sent to the U.S. from Mexico.
Mexican army soldiers and National Guard troops were deployed to Mexican border states Baja California, Sonora, and Tamaulipas on Tuesday, according to Mexican military officials who spoke with Reuters.
Within those regions, troops will be sent to Tijuana, across from San Diego, California; Mexicali, across from Calexico; Nogales, across from southeastern Arizona; Nuevo Laredo, across from Laredo, Texas; and Reynosa and Matamoros, which are across the border from the Rio Grande Valley of southeastern Texas.

“Let me read a headline to you: ‘Chicago leaders encourage residents to exercise their rights in resisting Trump’s deportation policies.’ The governor of New Jersey, Phil Murphy, basically admitted he knew somebody that didn’t have full documentation that he was hiding over his garage. Your comment on all of that?” Fox news host Sean Hannity asked Homan.
“I think the governor is pretty foolish … I got note of it. Won’t let it go. We’ll look into it. And if he’s knowingly, knowingly harboring, concealing an illegal alien, that’s a violation of Title VIII, United States Code 1324. I would seek prosecution or the Secretary would seek prosecution,” Homan answered.
“So maybe he’s bluffing; maybe he’s not; we’ll deal with that,” he continued., then turned to sanctuary cities.
Against the will of the rank-and-file members of the Florida GOP, the people who gave the party its overwhelming majorities in the legislature and Governor’s office, the Florida RINO GOP is leading a revolt through the creation of a bill allegedly intended to help Trump’s Deportation agenda.
Governor Ron DeSantis said of the bill, “The Legislature’s bill is a bait-and-switch tactic trying to create the illusion of an illegal immigration crack down, when it does anything but. It is an insult to name such a weak bill after President Trump, who has been so strong on this issue.”
He added, “By giving enforcement power to the agricultural arm of state government, it ensures that enforcement never actually occurs. In short, it puts the fox in charge of the hen house.”
Florida Legislature Goes Full ‘RINO,’ Turns on DeSantis with ‘Bait-and-Switch’ Move– www.westernjournal.com Source Link Excerpt:
For the past six or seven years, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has been a conservative stalwart in the Sunshine State, and the Republican-controlled state legislature has begrudgingly followed his lead.
But like so many other Republican states, Florida has a deeply entrenched uni party establishment, despite the fact that DeSantis has turned Florida from purple to ruby red, at least with respect to voting patterns.
Most recently, DeSantis called a special session of the legislature to back President Donald Trump’s immigration and mass deportation efforts. Rather than passing helpful immigration policies, the Florida Republican establishment gaveled out on Monday and started their own special session in an attempt to gut immigration enforcement in the state.
In a bill called the TRUMP Act, they named Agriculture Commissioner Wilton Simpson as the chief immigration officer in Florida, and perhaps even worse, they failed to pass a meaningful duty for local and state law enforcement to help with immigration enforcement.
#BREAKING: Florida Sen. @JoeGruters files the “TRUMP Act” in new Special Session to ensure local law enforcement works cohesively to help federal immigration enforcement
“By giving enforcement power to the agricultural arm of state government, it ensures that enforcement never actually occurs,” DeSantis said on social media. “In short, it puts the fox in charge of the hen house.”
DeSantis added that the move to appoint Simpson as the chief immigration officer “unconstitutionally removes authority to enforce the law from the governor to a lower-level cabinet agency.” He warned that the stakeholders in that agency “often oppose enforcement measures.”
Though the Florida legislature’s leadership initially said the call for a special session on immigration enforcement was “premature,” they have now finally agreed to come in and do their job.
I am glad the Legislature’s bill includes many of my proposals, including the…

“The Legislature’s bill is a bait-and-switch tactic trying to create the illusion of an illegal immigration crack down, when it does anything but,” he continued. “It is an insult to name such a weak bill after President Trump, who has been so strong on this issue.”
The nerve that these lawmakers had to name their watered-down bill the TRUMP Act indeed showed they were signaling to voters that they are handling immigration when in reality they are trying to do the opposite.
Daniel Horowitz, a commentator with The Blaze, added that such efforts are “why so many Republican voters have become jaded with the party.”
Rather than executing on the immigration agenda Florida voters so clearly want, Florida Republican Senate President Ben Albritton is “working with the open borders lobby to undermine the best opportunity to end illegal immigration once and for all,” Horowitz cautioned.
The TRUMP Act bizarrely had a provision to create “more beds” for criminal illegal aliens, prompting DeSantis aide Christina Pushaw to respond.
“Why does it sound like these legislators’ priority is to ensure Florida pays for more beds to comfortably house illegal aliens here?” she asked. “We voted for MASS DEPORTATIONS.”
Why does it sound like these legislators’ priority is to ensure Florida pays for more beds to comfortably house illegal aliens here? We voted for MASS DEPORTATIONS. https://t.co/z8nqv7WDVx
Lake County Republican Commissioner Anthony Sabatini likewise rebuked the Florida state legislature. He warned that the proposal is a “FAKE immigration bill” that watered down the DeSantis agenda to “nearly nothing” and put “pro-illegal immigration” Simpson in charge of enforcement.
Though we do not see the Republican establishment rear its ugly head as visibly in Florida relative to other red states, the swamp still needs to be drained in Tallahassee.
The latest showdown in Florida is a reminder that the Democrats are not always the problem.
Sometimes the establishment Republicans are actually the enemy.
Even worse, rather than directly opposing the conservative agenda, those sorts of Republicans coat their subversion in a veneer of conservatism in cynical attempts to fool voters.
That means conservatives in Florida, and the rest of the country, must remain vigilant.

Border patrol and cartel members allegedly exchanged fire outside of Fronton. Texas along the border of Mexico. The gunfire was exchanged after the Border patrol picked up a suspected human smuggling pack approaching the border. There were no injuries reported. There were no border crossings.
Cartel Fires On U.S. Border Patrol Agents In Major Escalation– trendingpoliticsnews.com Source Link Excerpt:
A volatile stretch of the U.S.-Mexico border near Fronton, Texas, has once again become the scene of cartel-related chaos. According to Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin, suspected cartel members engaged in a violent incident during what authorities believe was a human smuggling operation.
Just yards from U.S. soil, cartel gunmen armed with rifles patrol the riverbanks, visibly unchallenged on the Mexican side. In some cases, these armed operatives have aimed AK-47s at Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) helicopters. Rival cartels are even seen warring with each other, with Texas DPS thermal drone footage capturing combatants throwing explosives in their fight for control over smuggling routes.
The state of Texas has taken aggressive measures to counteract cartel influence in the area. In October, Texas declared Fronton Island state property and launched a bold initiative to clear and secure it. Crews bulldozed the brush, deployed razor wire, and fortified the territory, turning what was once dense cover for cartel activity into an open, 171-acre barren landscape. The state also stationed Texas troopers and National Guard soldiers to patrol the area, fully armed and prepared to prevent illegal crossings.
“Here on the US side of the river you can see what Texas has done with Fronten Island. They have completely cleared it out, they’ve deployed razor wire and there is now nowhere for these cartel gunmen to hide if they want to cross here illegally,” Melugin reported during his on-the-ground segment.

A whistleblower asserted that Visa and Mastercard failed to prevent the laundering of funds related to child sexual abuse material and sex trafficking on the pornography website OnlyFans.
Reuters reported on Friday that the whistleblower, who works as a “senior compliance expert in the credit card and banking industries,” submitted a complaint in January 2023 with the Treasury Department’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, also known as FinCEN.
That report was previously undisclosed.
The whistleblower asserted that the two credit card behemoths were aware that users were paying for illegal content on OnlyFans since 2021 or earlier.
He accused them of “turning a blind eye to flows of illicit revenue.”
The complaint was also filed with the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Justice.

Biden administration extends temporary status for more than 200,000 from El Salvador for 18 months – PBS NewsHour Source Link Excerpt:
More than 200,000 Salvadorans who have lived more than two decades in the United States can legally remain another 18 months, the Department of Homeland Security said Friday in one of the Biden administration’s final acts on immigration policy.
In explaining its determination, DHS said that the extension is due to “environmental conditions in El Salvador that prevent individuals from returning.”
The decision is the Biden administration’s latest in support of Temporary Protected Status, which he has sharply expanded to cover about 1 million people. TPS faces an uncertain future under Donald Trump, who tried to sharply curtail its use during his first term as president.
Congress created TPS in 1990 to prevent deportations to countries suffering from natural disasters or civil strive, giving people authorization to work in increments of up to 18 months at a time.

“Gift to Cartels”: Biden Regime Working to BAN Cigarettes in Last Days of Presidency– wltreport.com Source Link Excerpt:
The FDA underneath the Biden administration is moving forward with a new regulation that would effectively ban all cigarettes currently on the market.
The new rule would lower the legal amount of nicotine in tobacco products, presumably to keep Americans from getting addicted to cigarettes.
However, many are blasting the proposed rule, saying that it could bolster cartels and lead to Americans smoking more, not less, in order to compensate for the lower amounts of nicotine.

The Laken Riley Act passed with a vote of 264 to 159 on Tuesday after lawmakers gave floor speeches to voice their support of or opposition to the law. All the 159 “no” votes came from Democrats. This comes at the tail end of President Joe Biden’s term, which has seen record numbers in illegal immigration and many stories highlighting crimes committed against Americans by illegal immigrants in the news.

Illegal Immigrants With Terror Ties Pouring Across Northern Border – RedState– redstate.com Source Link Excerpt:
The United States/Canada border is remarkable in many ways. Over 5,000 miles long, it’s the longest land border in the world. For over 200 years, it’s not only been the longest land international border but the most peaceful one, essentially demilitarized, with no serious territorial disputes since the War of 1812. But it’s also a difficult border to secure, with not only length but remoteness making things complicated — and factor into the situation that the bulk of American border security efforts are directed south. But that leads to a possible security risk.
Is it possible that bad actors, including possible terrorists, are trying to get into the United States before Donald Trump takes office? There is some evidence that this is the case; reports indicate a spike in illegal border crossings on our northern border.
Federal agents are arresting a record number of individuals on the terrorist watchlist at the northern U.S. border, including a Jordanian national with ties to terrorism who recently was removed from the country after illegally entering from Canada.
Border Patrol agents in the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Blaine Sector apprehended Jordanian national Mohammad Hasan Abdellatif Albana, 41, near Lynden, Washington, a few miles from the Canadian border.
A new poll from Napolitan News Service shows a majority of Americans support deportation, with 31 percent strongly supporting it.
Poll: Majority of Americans Support Trump’s Plan to Declare Border Emergency– lidblog.com Source Link Excerpt:
A new poll finds that a majority of Americans support Donald Trump’s plan to declare a border emergency and to begin deporting millions of illegal aliens.
This is exactly what the 2024 election proved when Trump won in a landslide with border issues being his top concern.
The Napolitan News Service survey of 1,000 registered voters was conducted online by pollster Scott Rasmussen Nov. 18-19. It asked: “President Trump has said that he will declare a national emergency because of the illegal immigration problem. This would let the Trump Administration use military force to help with a mass deportation of illegal immigrants. Do you favor or oppose declaring a national emergency to address the problem of illegal immigration?”
In response, 31% of those polled said they strongly favor declaring a national emergency, and 24% said they somewhat favor it. Combined, 55% of Americans support Trump’s plan. Those in favor include 62% of Hispanic voters, 57% of white voters, and 50% of Black voters.
The State of Texas is ready to help President-Elect Trump’s campaign to send the recent flood of illegal immigrants back where they came from, starting with criminals first. Texas Land Commissioner Dawn Buckingham has offered the incoming Trump administration 1400 acres of land on the border with Mexico to use as a staging area for operations.
Buckingham said, “My office is fully prepared to enter into an agreement with the Department of Homeland Security, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or the United States Border Patrol to allow a facility to be built for the processing, detention, and coordination of the largest deportation of violent criminals in the nation’s history.”
Texas Land Commissioner Offers 1,400 Acres for Use in Deportation Operations › American Greatness– amgreatness.com Source Link Excerpt:
On Tuesday, Texas Land Commissioner Dawn Buckingham formally offered the incoming Trump Administration the chance to make use of just over 1,400 acres of Texas land in the planned mass deportations of illegal aliens.
As ABC News reports, Buckingham sent a letter to President-elect Donald Trump on Tuesday, saying that 1,402 acres of land, located along the southern border and purchased by the state of Texas, can be put to use in the construction of “deportation facilities.” The land had been purchased from a farmer by the Texas General Land Office, with the original purpose of constructing a state-funded wall along the border.
“My office is fully prepared to enter into an agreement with the Department of Homeland Security, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or the United States Border Patrol to allow a facility to be built for the processing, detention, and coordination of the largest deportation of violent criminals in the nation’s history,” said Buckingham’s letter.
In an interview on Fox News, Buckingham reaffirmed that she is “100% on board” with the planned deportation operation. She explained that the 1,400-acre area in question is “essentially farmland, so it’s flat, it’s easy to build on.”
“We can very easily put a detention center on there, a holding place as we get these criminals out of our country,” she continued.
The offer from Texas comes as Democratic governors and mayors have vowed to resist the planned deportation operations, choosing to double down on their so-called “sanctuary” status as they intend to harbor illegal aliens and refuse to cooperate with federal authorities.
On Monday, President-elect Trump confirmed that he was strongly considering the use of a national emergency declaration to carry out the deportations, which would grant him broader executive powers including the use of the military in doing so. He has vowed to begin “the largest deportation operation in American history” on his first day in office.
“Local and state officials on the frontlines of the Harris-Biden border invasion have been suffering for four years and are eager for President Trump to return to the Oval Office,” said Trump campaign spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt, who was recently announced as the president-elect’s pick for White House Press Secretary. “On day one, President Trump will marshal every lever of power to secure the border, protect their communities, and launch the largest mass deportation operation of illegal immigrant criminals in history.”
The notorious Venezuelan Gang “Tren de Aragua” has reportedly established satellites in 16 U.S. states thanks to the planvasion by the Biden administration. The memo comes from the Department of Homeland Security. The memo concluded “As the population of Venezuelan nationals continues to increase, the potential for violent TdA migrants is highly probable.”
Tren de Aragua has already set up shop in these 16 states, Homeland Security warns – nypost Source Link Excerpt:
The vicious Venezuelan prison gang Tren de Aragua has expanded its territory to at least 16 US states — an area that includes half of America’s population, The Post has learned.
Homeland Security officials last week were warned in an internal department intelligence memo about TdA’s growing presence across the country, most recently in Washington, DC, Virginia, Montana and Wyoming.
The gang already has footholds in California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Louisiana, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Wisconsin, according to the memo and previous reporting by The Post.
An internal Homeland Security memo obtained by The Post warns of TdA’s expanding footprint across the US.
The gang has only increased its “violent tendencies” as it spreads, the memo added.
Tren de Aragua’s arrival in the nation’s capital and nearby Virginia coincided with “increases in migrant populations” there, the memo stated.
“As the population of Venezuelan nationals continues to increase, the potential for violent TdA migrants is highly probable,” the memo warned.
In one run-in with the cutthroat gang in Virginia, cops in Fairfax County arrested three suspected members in August 2023 for shoplifting.
One of the suspects had a fake Venezuelan ID, and all three bore the gang’s signature tattoos.

President-Elect Donald Trump confirmed the “rumor” that he will be declaring a national emergency on day one, and he will use the military to deport the most dangerous illegal aliens while also using the military to combat the drug cartels on the border.
The main argument against deporting illegals comes from the MSM, who makes the argument that without illegal aliens “who will pick the crops?” The apologetic is not unsimilar to the argument made in favor of keeping slavery in America before the Civil War. Former Senior Trump Official Ken Cuccinelli thinks “using the military” will drive illegal migrant numbers “into the dirt.”
Police officers in Pinellas County, Florida have made numerous arrests of illegal aliens looting Americans’ properties during the hurricane recovery times for both Hurricane Milton and Helene. Pinellas County Sheriff Bob Guiltieri said “They’re going into people’s homes, they’re taking stuff, they’re rummaging through things.”
Dozens of Illegal Aliens Arrested in Florida for Looting in Aftermath of Hurricanes › American Greatness– amgreatness.com Source Link Excerpt:
Local law enforcement in a Florida county announced the arrest of over 100 people who committed looting and similar crimes in the aftermath of Hurricanes Helene and Milton, with at least 41 of these suspects being illegal aliens.
As reported by Fox News, police officers on patrol for looters in Pinellas County have made the arrests over the course of the last three weeks. A total of 45 suspects were arrested on 68 different charges, ranging from robbery and burglary to grand theft, vandalism, and trespassing.
“They’re going into people’s homes, they’re taking stuff, they’re rummaging through their things,” said Pinellas County Sheriff Bob Gualtieri at a press conference announcing the arrests.
Another 58 were arrested for their involvement in a scam operation that preyed upon unlicensed contractors. The scammers would send fake bills to victims, demanding that they pay for repairs that they didn’t actually do; their fake bills collectively totaled $250 million.
“This is the epitome of people trying to exploit others when they’re down and when they’re out, and they’re trying to rebuild and they’ve got nothing,” Gualtieri continued.
Of the 45 looters who were arrested, 41 were illegals, mostly from Latin America.
In addition, the sheriff’s office has made contact with at least 196 suspects who were roaming in beachside neighborhoods where they did not belong, but could not arrest them due to a lack of probable cause. Of those suspects, at least 63 were illegal aliens.
“So, we made contact with them and told them to get out,” said Gualtieri. “We’ve never seen anything of this magnitude before. We’ve never seen this influx of people from out of the area that are clearly just here to steal and to pilfer and to do bad things and to target these vulnerable people.”
“As the Pinellas beaches recover, we are going to continue these patrols and arrest everyone we can who is stealing from the vulnerable victims of two back-to-back storms that have devastated our community,” Gualtieri added.
