EUROPE PROVED MASS MIGRATION CAUSES CRIME AND MORE CRIME!

Europe’s Slow Right Turn: Backlash Against Open Borders, Migrant Crime, and Welfare

American mainstream media and Europe’s left manipulate statistics to support claims that illegal aliens and migrants do not increase crime and that they benefit the economy. The data tell a different story. Immigrants are disproportionately represented in arrests, convictions, prison populations, and on welfare rolls across EU countries.

In Germany, foreigners represent roughly 17% of the population but accounted for 41.8% of all criminal suspects in 2024 and approximately 39% of all convictions in 2023, a new high. In France, foreigners make up about 7.8% of the population by citizenship, yet account for 17% of all criminal suspects, more than twice their population share, rising to 40% of suspects for vehicle theft, 38% for burglary, and 31% for unarmed robbery.

In Italy, foreigners are approximately 8.9% of the population but are implicated in 28% of murders and attempted murders, 33% of assaults, and 41% of rapes, and make up 31% of the prison population as of mid-2022. In Spain, foreigners represent 13% to 14% of the population, account for 28% of criminal convictions, and make up 31% of the national prison population, rising to 49% in Catalonia. Belgium presents the most extreme disparity: foreigners are 13% of the population but constitute 43% of the prison population, with roughly 30% of those foreign inmates holding no valid residence permit.

The welfare data are equally stark. Of the 5.6 million people on welfare in Germany as of May 2024, 2.7 million — nearly half — were not German citizens. The unemployment rate among foreigners in Germany stood at over 16% in 2023 to 2024, roughly double the national average. EU-wide research identifies France, Belgium, Austria, the Netherlands, and the Nordic states as places where social benefits are higher for immigrants than for natives, with dependency persisting even after controlling for age, education, and work experience.

In France, 57% of Afghan signatories to integration contracts were unemployed 18 months after signing, with only half reaching an elementary level of French. In Italy, absolute poverty among foreign families is almost six times higher than among Italian-only families. According to official Italian government statistics for the 2022 to 2023 school year, 26.4% of students with foreign citizenship experienced school delays, compared with 7.9% of Italian students, and the dropout rate for students with foreign citizenship was 40.3%, nearly three times the 13.7% rate for Italian students.

Many in Europe are growing weary of open borders and unbridled migration, and a number of right-wing parties have made gains in recent elections. However, the battle for control remains contested, and the left has also notched recent victories. In France’s municipal elections that ended last Sunday, centrist and left-leaning forces held Paris, Lyon, and Marseille, where the National Rally had hoped to make inroads. In Slovenia’s parliamentary election, liberal Prime Minister Robert Golob’s Freedom Movement edged out the right-wing Slovenian Democratic Party led by former Prime Minister Janez Janša.

Italian voters rejected Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni’s flagship judicial reform in a constitutional referendum. The reform would have separated judges and prosecutors into distinct career tracks, a change Meloni’s party argued was crucial to reducing corruption and creating greater judicial independence. The loss weakens her ahead of the elections she must face by 2027.

The broader European picture nonetheless favors the right. Meloni’s Brothers of Italy party has been in power since 2022. France’s National Rally, led by Marine Le Pen, holds the largest share of seats in France’s parliament and advocates for strict immigration controls, French nationalism, and opposition to EU integration. Right-wing populists are now in government or supporting ruling coalitions in Belgium, Croatia, Finland, Hungary, the Netherlands, Slovakia, and Sweden. Poland’s Law and Justice party (PiS), which governed from 2015 to 2023, maintained close ties with conservative Catholic groups, sought to restrict abortion, and opposed special rights for LGBTQ people.

PiS lost power in 2023, and the current government under Donald Tusk is centrist and pro-EU, though Poland’s 2025–2030 migration strategy, introduced in 2024, is still framed around security, control, and selectivity, launched under the banner “Regain control. Ensure security.”

Though PiS lost power in 2023 to Donald Tusk’s centrist government, Poland’s 2025 to 2030 migration strategy is still framed around security, control, and selectivity. Slovakia, under Prime Minister Robert Fico, governs from a nationalist, socially conservative position aligned with Hungary’s Viktor Orbán; in 2025, the Slovak government amended its constitution to recognize only two genders and has resisted EU migrant relocation quotas.

“Another key example is Austria, where the Freedom Party, led by Herbert Kickl, secured 29.2% of the vote in September 2024 parliamentary elections, the first far-right election victory in Austria since World War II. Three centrist parties then formed a coalition government that excluded the FPÖ, following the longest government formation process in Austrian postwar history. Despite being blocked from power, the FPÖ now polls at around 36.4%, far ahead of the People’s Party at 20.8% and the Social Democrats at 18.1%.

Hungary under Viktor Orbán remains the most explicit example of a government fusing Christianity with a closed-border immigration policy. Orbán has declared that “Christianity is Europe’s last hope” and warned that Western European politicians “opened the way to the decline of Christian culture and the advance of Islam.” His government recognizes immigration as a threat to Hungary’s ethnic, cultural, and Christian identity, grants asylum to fewer than ten non-Europeans annually, has rewritten the constitution to define marriage exclusively as a union between a man and a woman, banned materials related to LGBTQ issues in schools, and built a razor-wire fence along Hungary’s southern border.

In June 2024, the European Court of Justice fined Hungary 200 million euros and imposed a daily penalty of one million euros for failing to implement EU asylum laws, describing Hungary’s conduct as “an unprecedented and exceptionally serious breach of EU law.” Hungary refused to pay, and the European Commission deducted the fine from Hungary’s EU budget allocation.

As of July 2025, €18 billion in cohesion and recovery funds remain withheld from Hungary.

Orbán’s response has been defiant. He posted publicly that the ECJ’s decision was “outrageous and unacceptable” and that “illegal migrants are more important to Brussels bureaucrats than their own European citizens.” He had previously promised in 2021 to “maintain the existing regime even if the European court ordered us to change it.” In 2023, Hungary recorded the lowest positive asylum decision ratio among all 27 EU countries, approving just 1.44% of claims.

In Germany’s most recent federal election, the center-right CDU/CSU won with 28.5% of the vote, while the anti-immigration AfD doubled its 2021 result to finish second at 20.8%, gaining 10.4 percentage points. The left-wing SPD collapsed to 16.4%, their worst federal result ever, the Greens secured 11.6%, and the FDP fell out of parliament entirely with just 4.3%. Voter turnout hit 82.5%, the highest since reunification. The AfD’s gains were strongest in the former East German states, where it won between 32.5% in Brandenburg and 38.5% in Thuringia. Despite finishing second nationally, the AfD remains locked out of government, as CDU leader Friedrich Merz and all mainstream parties have refused to govern with them.

Lorenzo Caccialupi, a right-leaning nationalist and outspoken Christian who became a popular content creator documenting migrant crime after appearing in a Charlie Kirk video, recently interviewed Alexander Sell, an AfD Member of the European Parliament from Germany. Sell called the result a historic shift. “This was a very important, historic day,” he said. “We have realized a right-wing majority with all of the right-wing parties from all over Europe and the Christian Democrats in the center, and this makes it possible to better return illegal migrants from Europe. That’s our mission.”

Sell added that the upcoming elections in Germany could further strengthen this movement, saying it was approaching 40 percent support. The two closed out the interview by pledging to “Make Italy Great Again” and “Make Germany great Again.”

Unfortunately, in Europe’s multi-party parliamentary systems, winning votes and holding power are two different things. The AfD finished second in Germany with 20.8% of the vote, but remains completely locked out of government because all mainstream parties have agreed never to form a coalition with it. The likely outcome is a CDU-SPD grand coalition that excludes the AfD entirely, meaning roughly one in five German voters elected a party with zero cabinet seats and zero ability to pass legislation.

TREASURY SECRETARY CALLS OUT THE GIANT TAXPAYER MONEY DRAIN FOR ILLEGALS IN THE COUNTRY

FINALLY: Treasury’s Bessent Takes Aim at Taxpayer Drain From Illegal Aliens

For years, American workers have shouldered the load of a broken immigration system that lets in millions without a plan, while their hard-earned dollars flow into programs that reward lawbreakers. Now, with Scott Bessent at the helm of the Treasury Department, that era of unchecked spending is facing a reckoning.

Bessent, the Wall Street veteran who took over as the nation’s 79th Treasury secretary in January, has kicked off a direct assault on the loopholes allowing illegal aliens to tap into federal tax breaks and wire billions back home without a second thought.

Bessent’s office laid it out plain: The department is “reviewing the tax status of ITIN filers with a focus on preventing access to refundable credits such as the Child Tax Credit and Earned Income Tax Credit.” Those Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers—ITINs—have long been a backdoor for non-citizens to file returns and snag refunds, even as they dodge the full weight of citizenship.

It’s a setup that’s funneled an estimated $4.2 billion in child tax credits alone to households with at least one illegal alien last year, according to Treasury data. And that’s just the start. Bessent’s team is also eyeing restrictions on remittances, those cross-border cash transfers that hit $96 billion from the U.S. to Latin America in 2024, per World Bank figures. “We’re looking at ways to limit or tax those outflows to keep more money circulating in the American economy,” a department insider told Fox Business on Friday.

This push comes straight from President Trump’s playbook, echoing his February executive order that slammed the door on “all taxpayer-funded benefits for illegal aliens.” That order, which Bessent has called a “vital first step,” forced agencies to scour their books for any federal dollars propping up sanctuary cities or padding programs that indirectly aid those here unlawfully.

The math tells a grim story: The Federation for American Immigration Reform pegs the annual cost of illegal immigration at $182 billion, with Medicaid emergency care for illegals alone gobbling up $16.2 billion under the previous administration—a 124% spike from Trump’s first term. Critics in Washington whisper that these moves are just theater, but the fine print suggests otherwise. By tightening ITIN rules, Treasury could claw back billions that might otherwise go toward extending the 2017 tax cuts for working families—the very families Bessent vowed to protect during his Senate confirmation.

Bessent’s no stranger to big bets. The South Carolina-born hedge fund manager built a fortune spotting market shifts, first at George Soros’s firm in the ’90s, then launching his own outfit, Key Square, which raked in returns during global turmoil. He backed Trump’s tariff threats on China during his January hearing, arguing they’d force fairer trade without tanking growth.

Now, applying that same sharp eye to immigration, he’s betting that cutting off these incentives will slow the flood at the border. “Illegal immigration imposes crushing burdens on American taxpayers,” Trump said in a statement tied to the order, and Bessent’s actions back it up. Remittances aren’t just money leaving the country; they’re a lifeline for cartels and smugglers, with U.S. officials estimating that up to 20% of those transfers tie back to drug money laundering, based on a 2023 DEA report.

Of course, not everyone’s cheering. Immigrant advocacy groups are already filing lawsuits, claiming this targets families and kids who “just want a shot at the dream.” But let’s be real: The dream was never supposed to come at the expense of citizens waiting in line, or taxpayers footing the bill for schools, hospitals, and now tax refunds they never earned. Bessent’s review could wrap up by spring, with proposed rules hitting the Federal Register soon after. If it sticks, it might finally make the system play fair—prioritizing the folks who built this country, not the ones gaming it.

In a nation where borders mean something and budgets balance on trust, these steps feel like common sense long overdue. With Trump’s team digging in, the message is clear: America’s resources stay with Americans. Whether the courts or Congress throw up roadblocks remains to be seen, but for now, the Treasury’s got its sights locked.

PRESIDENT TRUMP’S THANKSGIVING MESSAGE ABOUT THE MASS MIGRATION APPROVED BY BIDEN’S AUTOPEN!?

A very Happy Thanksgiving salutation to all of our Great American Citizens and Patriots who have been so nice in allowing our Country to be divided, disrupted, carved up, murdered, beaten, mugged, and laughed at, along with certain other foolish countries throughout the World, for being “Politically Correct,” and just plain STUPID, when it comes to Immigration.

The official United States Foreign population stands at 53 million people (Census), most of which are on welfare, from failed nations, or from prisons, mental institutions, gangs, or drug cartels.

They and their children are supported through massive payments from Patriotic American Citizens who, because of their beautiful hearts, do not want to openly complain or cause trouble in any way, shape, or form.

They put up with what has happened to our Country, but it’s eating them alive to do so! A migrant earning $30,000 with a green card will get roughly $50,000 in yearly benefits for their family.

The real migrant population is much higher. This refugee burden is the leading cause of social dysfunction in America, something that did not exist after World War II (Failed schools, high crime, urban decay, overcrowded hospitals, housing shortages, and large deficits, etc.).

As an example, hundreds of thousands of refugees from Somalia are completely taking over the once great State of Minnesota.

Somalian gangs are roving the streets looking for “prey” as our wonderful people stay locked in their apartments and houses hoping against hope that they will be left alone.

The seriously retarded Governor of Minnesota, Tim Walz, does nothing, either through fear, incompetence, or both, while the worst “Congressman/woman” in our Country, Ilhan Omar, always wrapped in her swaddling hijab, and who probably came into the U.S.A. illegally in that you are not allowed to marry your brother, does nothing but hatefully complain about our Country, its Constitution, and how “badly” she is treated, when her place of origin is a decadent, backward, and crime ridden nation, which is essentially not even a country for lack of Government, Military, Police, schools, etc. Even as we have progressed technologically, Immigration Policy has eroded those gains and living conditions for many. I will permanently pause migration from all Third World Countries to allow the U.S. system to fully recover, terminate all of the millions of Biden illegal admissions, including those signed by Sleepy Joe Biden’s Autopen, and remove anyone who is not a net asset to the United States, or is incapable of loving our Country, end all Federal benefits and subsidies to noncitizens of our Country, denaturalize migrants who undermine domestic tranquility, and deport any Foreign National who is a public charge, security risk, or non-compatible with Western Civilization.

These goals will be pursued with the aim of achieving a major reduction in illegal and disruptive populations, including those admitted through an unauthorized and illegal Autopen approval process.

Only REVERSE MIGRATION can fully cure this situation. Other than that, HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL, except those that hate, steal, murder, and destroy everything that America stands for — You won’t be here for long!

FRAUDULENT COMMERCIAL DRIVER LICENSES ISSUED BY CALIFORNIA ARE BEING CANCELLED!

California to Revoke 17,000 CDLs for Immigrants

Move Follows Criticism From Trump Administration

Key Takeaways:

California plans to revoke 17,000 commercial driver licenses given to immigrants after discovering the expiration dates went past when the drivers were legally allowed to be in the U.S., state officials said Nov. 12.

Federal Criticism and High-Profile Crashes Intensify Scrutiny

The announcement follows harsh criticism from the Trump administration about California and other states granting licenses to people in the country illegally. The issue was thrust into the public’s consciousness in August, when a tractor-trailer driver not authorized to be in the U.S. made an illegal U-turn and caused a crash in Florida that killed three people.

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said Nov. 12 that California’s action to revoke these licenses is an admission that the state acted improperly even though it previously defended its licensing standards. California launched its review of CDLs it issued after Duffy raised concerns.

State and Federal Officials Dispute Responsibility

“After weeks of claiming they did nothing wrong, Gavin Newsom and California have been caught red-handed. Now that we’ve exposed their lies, 17,000 illegally issued trucking licenses are being revoked,” Duffy said, referring to the state’s governor. “This is just the tip of the iceberg. My team will continue to force California to prove they have removed every illegal immigrant from behind the wheel of semitrucks and school buses.”

Duffy

Newsom’s office said that every one of the drivers whose license is being revoked had valid work authorizations from the federal government. At first, his office declined to disclose the exact reason for revoking the licenses, saying only they violated state law. Later, his office revealed the state law it was referring to was one that requires the licenses expire on or before a person’s legal status to be in the United States ends, as reported to the DMV.

Still, Newsom’s spokesperson Brandon Richards shot back at Duffy in a statement.

“Once again, the Sean ‘Road Rules’ Duffy fails to share the truth — spreading easily disproven falsehoods in a sad and desperate attempt to please his dear leader,” Richards said.

Fatal truck crashes in Texas and Alabama earlier this year also highlight questions about these licenses. A fiery California crash that killed three people last month involved a truck driver in the country illegally, only adding to the concerns.

Newsom

Duffy previously imposed new restrictions on which immigrants can qualify for CDLs. He said earlier this fall that California and five other states had improperly issued CDLs to non-citizens, but California is the only state Duffy has taken action against because it was the first one where an audit was completed. The reviews in the other states have been delayed by the government shutdown, but the Transportation Department is urging all of them to tighten their standards.

Duffy revoked $40 million in federal funding because he said California isn’t enforcing English-language requirements for truckers, and he reiterated Nov. 12 that he will take another $160 million from the state over these improperly issued licenses if they don’t invalidate every illegal license and address all the concerns. But revoking these licenses is part of the state’s effort to comply.

New Federal CDL Rules Significantly Limit Immigrant Eligibility

The new rules for CDLs that Duffy announced in September make getting them extremely hard for immigrants because only three specific classes of visa holders will be eligible. States will also have to verify an applicant’s immigration status in a federal database. The licenses will be valid for up to one year unless the applicant’s visa expires sooner.

Impact on Current Non-citizen Drivers and License Renewals

Under the new rules, only 10,000 of the 200,000 non-citizens who have commercial licenses would qualify for them, which would only be available to drivers who have an H-2a, H-2b or E-2 visa. H-2a is for temporary agricultural workers while H-2b is for temporary non-agricultural workers, and E-2 is for people who make substantial investments in a U.S. business. But the rules won’t be enforced retroactively, so those 190,000 drivers will be allowed to keep their commercial licenses at least until they come up for renewal.

Those new requirements were not in place at the time the 17,000 California licenses were issued. But those drivers were given notices that their licenses will expire in 60 days.

Audit Findings Show Long-Expired Work Permits on Valid CDLs

Duffy said in September that investigators found that one quarter of the 145 licenses they reviewed in California shouldn’t have been issued. He cited four California licenses that remained valid after the driver’s work permit expired — sometimes years after.

California Says It Followed Federal Guidance

Newsom’s office said the state followed guidance it received from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security about issuing these licenses to non-citizens.

GERMANY IN PANIC MODE DUE TO MUSLIM MIGRATION FAILURE

The official results are in: Germany’s ‘Muslim Miracle’ was a catastrophic failure…

Germany’s mistake is a warning for every nation. Help Revolver keep sounding the alarm before it’s too late.

Germany’s grand “Muslim Miracle” was supposed to save the country’s future. Instead, it broke it into a million pieces.

About ten years ago, German leaders sold their citizens on a utopian plan: import millions of young Muslims to flood the workforce, rescue a collapsing pension system, and secure the nation’s prosperity for generations. The theory sounded far-fetched and absurd, but Germans bought into it. However, the reality was a total disaster.

Fast-forward to today, and Germany is now raising its retirement age to 70.

The German people were lied to.

Speaking on the ARD public broadcaster, Jens Spahn explained that as life expectancy rises, people will need to work longer to maintain the sustainability of the pension system without overburdening future generations.

He noted that the increase will happen gradually over the next 30 years, initially year by year and then month by month. While specific political discussions are not yet planned, Spahn stressed that the public must be informed about the long-term sustainability challenges of the system.

The plan to rebuild the workforce through mass immigration didn’t just fail; it cratered. It didn’t revive the economy; it created a whole new group of Muslim welfare mooches, and now everybody’s worse off for it.

Germany lost its culture and its financial stability. The Germans are now forced to work longer and pay more… but not for their future. They’re doing it to keep Muslim families afloat. Speaking of that, did you know “Mohammed” is the most popular name among German welfare recipients?

Go figure…

Germany’s welfare statistics have reignited the debate over migration and integration after new figures revealed that ‘Mohammed’ and its many spelling variants have become the most common first name among recipients of Bürgergeld, the country’s basic income support.

The revelation emerged after a follow-up parliamentary enquiry by AfD MP René Springer, who demanded clarification of earlier figures published by the federal government.

In the initial release, names were listed separately according to spelling, meaning that common variants of the same name appeared much further down the ranking. For example, ‘Mohammad’ was counted separately from ‘Mohamed’ or ‘Muhammad.’

Once all variations were grouped, Mohammed came first, with nearly 40,000 recorded entries across 19 different spellings. That total put it well ahead of ‘Michael’ (including Michel, Mischa, and Maik) with about 24,600 entries, and ‘Ahmad’ (including Achmet and Amed) with just over 20,600.

By comparison, traditionally German names such as Andreas and Thomas fell back in the rankings, despite their high frequency in single forms.

At the end of 2024, 5.42 million people in Germany received Bürgergeld, of whom 52% were German citizens and 48% foreign nationals. Officials emphasised that first names do not necessarily reveal a person’s nationality or migration status.

It’s the perfect irony. A country tried to fix its problems by outsourcing the responsibility to Muslims and ended up erasing its identity and paying the price for foreign bums.

This should be a warning to every Western nation flirting with the same failed idea. If you want to rebuild your country, do it with your own people. At least then, if things go wrong, you’ll still recognize the place you’re fighting for.

Maybe New York City should heed this warning?

What’s happening in New York right now has a lot of Americans on edge, and rightfully so. A massive group of Muslims gathered and publicly claimed the city for Islam. People who watched it unfold aren’t being “bigots” for feeling uneasy. They’re watching their country’s biggest city slip further from the culture that built it, just days after electing a Marxist mayor.

This issue is about assimilation, or the lack of it. New York City doesn’t belong to any Muslims, and stunts like this don’t create peace or understanding. They create fear, resentment, and deeper divides. Imagine if a group of Christians went to a Middle Eastern capital and declared it “for Christ”; the outrage would be global.

This is the real problem in America right now. We’re not demanding people assimilate to western culture. We’re watching competing groups publicly reject the very culture that made this country so amazing and calling it “diversity.”

A US Muslim Warns the people of America: “We Will Not Stop Until Islam Enters Every Home, Say it as if the Ummah Depends on This.

There is no denying it; Islam intends to dominate all other people and religions.

We’ll leave you with this very spot-on X post that pretty much sums up the entire “diversity drive” perfectly.

KRISTIE NOEM FAST TRACKED MILLIONS OF DISASTER AID FUNDS…AND QUESTION? DOES THE USA HAVE THE BEST LOOKING GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS, COMPARED TO THE UGLY, UGLY ONES APPOINTED BY OBAMA AND BIDEN???

Kristi Noem Fast-Tracked Millions in Disaster Aid to Florida Tourist Attraction After Campaign Donor Intervened

The DHS chief has been widely criticized for slowing down FEMA’s response after natural disasters. Texts and emails obtained by ProPublica point to an effective way to get help faster: have one of Noem’s big donors make the ask.

For months, the complaints have rolled in from parts of the country hit by natural disasters: The Federal Emergency Management Agency was moving far too slowly in sending aid to communities ravaged by floods and hurricanes, including in central Texas and North Carolina. Many officials were blaming Kristi Noem, the homeland security secretary, whose agency oversees FEMA.

“I can’t get phone calls back,” Ted Budd, the Republican senator from North Carolina, told a newspaper this month, describing his attempts to reach Noem’s office. “I can’t get them to initiate the money. It’s just a quagmire.” The delays were caused in part by a new policy announced by DHS that requires Noem’s personal sign-off on expenses over $100,000, several news outlets reported.

But records obtained by ProPublica show how one locality found a way to get FEMA aid more quickly: It asked one of Noem’s political donors for help.

The records show that Noem quickly expedited more than $11 million of federal money to rebuild a historic pier in Naples, Florida, after she was contacted by a major financial supporter last month. The pier is a tourist attraction in the wealthy Gulf Coast enclave and was badly damaged by Hurricane Ian in 2022.

Frustrated city officials had been laboring for months, without success, to get disaster assistance. But just two weeks after the donor stepped in, they were celebrating their sudden change of fortune. “We are now at warp speed with FEMA,” one city official wrote in an email. A FEMA representative wrote: “Per leadership instruction, pushing project immediately.”

Along with fast-tracking the money, Noem flew to Naples on a government plane to tour the pier herself. She then stayed for the weekend and got dinner with the donor, local cardiologist Sinan Gursoy, at the French restaurant Bleu Provence, according to records and an interview with the Naples mayor. This account is based on text messages and emails ProPublica obtained through public records requests.

Noem’s actions in Naples suggest the injection of political favoritism into an agency tasked with saving lives and rebuilding communities wiped out by disaster. It also heightens concerns about the discretion Noem has given herself by personally handling all six-figure expenses at the agency, consolidating her power over who wins and loses in the pursuit of federal relief dollars, experts said.

Jeffrey Schlegelmilch, director of the National Center for Disaster Preparedness at Columbia University, said that politics has long been a factor in federal disaster relief — one study found that swing states are more likely to get federal help, for example. But “I’ve not heard of anything this egregious — a donor calling up and saying I need help and getting it,” he said, “while others may be getting denied assistance or otherwise waiting in line for help that may or may not come.”

In a statement, DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin said, “This has nothing to do with politics: Secretary Noem also visited Ruidoso, NM” — where floods killed three people in July — “at the request of a Democrat governor and has been integral in supporting and speeding up their recovery efforts.”

“Your criticizing the Secretary’s visit to the Pier is bizarre as she works to fix this issue for more than 1 million visitors that used to visit the pier,” McLaughlin added. She did not answer questions about the donor’s role in expediting the funding or Noem’s relationship with him. Reached by phone, Gursoy said “get lost” and hung up. He did not respond to detailed follow up questions.

Noem has been criticized for creating a bottleneck at FEMA. When the floods hit Texas this summer — ultimately killing over 100 people — it took days to deploy critical search-and-rescue teams because Noem hadn’t signed off on them, according to CNN. Budd, the Republican senator, said this month: “Pretty much everything Helene-related is over $100,000. So they’re stacking up on her desk waiting for her signature.”

Noem has denied there were delays in the Texas flood response and has defended her expense policy, saying it has saved billions of dollars. “Every day I get up and I think, the American people are paying for this, should they?” she recently said. “And are these dollars doing what the law says they should be doing? I’m going to make sure that they go there.”

Once a sleepy fishing town, Naples is now home to CEOs and billionaires (a property listed for $295 million recently made headlines as the most expensive home in the U.S.). The city is known as an important stop for Republican politicians raising money, and Noem has held multiple fundraisers in the area. State credit card records suggest she visited Naples at least 10 times during her last four years as South Dakota governor.

Noem’s top adviser, Corey Lewandowski, also appears to own a home in Naples near the city’s pier, according to property tax records. Lewandowski is an unpaid staffer at DHS serving as Noem’s de facto chief of staff. (Media reports have alleged the two are romantically involved, which they have both denied.) Lewandowski told ProPublica that he was not involved in the pier decision and that he was not in Naples during Noem’s visit.

For the first seven months of the Trump administration, the pier reconstruction was in bureaucratic purgatory. The city had long been struggling to secure the regulatory approvals it needed to start building, and emails suggest Trump’s wave of federal layoffs had made the process even slower. “These agencies are undergoing significant reorganizations and staff reductions,” a city official told a frustrated constituent in early August. That “sometimes means starting over with new reviewers — something we’ve faced more than once.”

McLaughlin said “both past FEMA and the City bear responsibility” for the delays. She listed “several failures” since the process started in 2023, including “FEMA staff changing up” and indecision by the city government.

By this summer, Naples officials were getting desperate. In June, one tried to enlist Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., to press FEMA to move ahead. “We were told yesterday that Secretary Noem would have to ‘personally’ approve the Pier project before FEMA funding would be obligated,” the city official wrote to the senator’s staff. The Naples mayor, Teresa Heitmann, also personally wrote to FEMA. Heitmann said she was “perplexed” by the delays and begged the agency for guidance.

Heitmann had long been paying expensive Washington consultants to help her city navigate the process. But she was “feeling increasingly helpless,” she later said, until she had the idea that would finally put her project on the fast track. On July 18, the mayor emailed a Google search to herself: “Who is the head of Homeland security?” She was going to go straight to Noem.

Heitmann determined that her best bet for getting Noem’s attention was Gursoy. A Naples cardiologist, Gursoy has no obvious experience working with the federal government; much of his online footprint centers on his enthusiasm for pinball. But Gursoy gave Noem at least $25,000 to support her campaign for governor in 2022. That was enough to put him near the top of Noem’s disclosed donor list. (In South Dakota, campaign contributions remain relatively small.)

On planning documents for the 2024 Republican National Convention obtained by ProPublica, the Florida doctor is listed as an attendee affiliated with the delegation from South Dakota, a state he has no apparent connection to besides his support for Noem. Heitmann told ProPublica that Gursoy introduced her to Noem at a political event at a private home in Naples while Noem was governor.

“Hello it’s Teresa,” the mayor texted Gursoy in early August. “I really need your help.” She explained the tangle of bureaucracy she’d been contending with. “FEMA is holding us up,” Heitmann wrote. “Kristi Noem could put some fire under the FEMA employees slacking.”

Gursoy responded: “Okay. I will get on it.”

The next week, on Aug. 11, the doctor gave Heitmann an update. “Kristi was off for a few days for the first time in a long time, so I left her alone,” he said. “I just txted her now.” Within 24 hours, he had exciting news. He told the mayor to expect a call from Noem’s “FEMA fixer” shortly.

The identity of the “fixer” is not clear, but by Aug. 27, Naples officials were seeing a “flurry of activity” from Noem’s agency. That day, a FEMA staffer told the city that “FEMA is intending to expedite the funding” for the pier. “Secretary Noem took immediate action when I reached out to ask for help,” the mayor soon posted on Facebook.

Two days later, Noem flew to Naples. Her schedule listed a 30-minute walk-through at the pier with the mayor, followed by a nail salon appointment and dinner at Bleu Provence, which serves wagyu short ribs and seared foie gras. Noem then stayed through the weekend at the four-star Naples Bay Resort & Marina. Heitmann told ProPublica she wasn’t at the French dinner but Gursoy was. “I didn’t ask her to come, but she showed up,” the mayor told the local news. “I was very impressed.”

Before she left town, Noem posted about the Naples pier on Instagram. She was finally getting the project back on track, she said. “Americans deserve better than years of red tape and failed disaster responses,” Noem wrote. “Under @POTUS Trump, this incompetency ends.”

PROPUBLICA IS A DEMOCRATIC MOUTHPIECE AND CONSTANT COMPLAINER….THEY BASICALLY HATE SMART WOMEN THAT TRUMP HAS APPOINTED, INSTEAD OF THE UGLY, AND STUPID ONES APPOINTED BY OBAMA, BIDEN AND OTHER “DUMBOCRATS”.

IOWA SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENT WAS AN ILLEGAL ALIEN CRIMINAL EARNING $265,000!!

SHOCK: ICE Arrests Superintendent of Des Moines, Iowa, Public Schools – An Illegal Alien Fugitive From Guyana with Prior Weapons Arrest

ICE agents on Friday arrested the Superintendent of Des Moines, Iowa, Public Schools – an illegal alien from Guyana with a prior weapons arrest.

According to Fox News, Dr. Ian Andre Roberts was an active ICE fugitive with a deportation order since May 2024. As soon as ICE agents identified themselves, Roberts fled in his car and sped off. He then abandoned his car and fled on foot. Federal agents found him hiding in shrubbery and took him into custody.

Agents found a loaded handgun and a fixed-blade hunting knife in Roberts’ vehicle.

A senior ICE official tells @FoxNews that today, ICE arrested the Superintendent of Des Moines, Iowa Public Schools, Dr. Ian Andre Roberts, who ICE says is an illegal alien from Guyana and active ICE fugitive with a deportation order since May 2024. Fox is told Dr. Roberts fled from ICE agents in his car once they ID’d themselves as immigration agents, speeding away, then abandoning the car. He was found in a brushy area 200 yards away with the help of an Iowa State Police K9. Per ICE official, agents found a loaded gun, a “fixed blade hunting knife”, and $3,000 cash in Dr. Robert’s vehicle.

Per senior ICE official, Roberts first entered the U.S. in 1999 on a F-1 student visa at St. John’s University was ordered removed from the United States on May 22, 2024, with proceedings being held in absentia. On April 24, 2025, an Immigration Judge in Dallas, TX denied a Motion to Reopen his immigration case.

Fox is told Dr. Roberts also has a weapons arrest in 2020, though the disposition of that charge/case is currently unclear.

Dr. Ian Roberts, the Des Moines Public Schools superintendent arrested by ICE, was earning an annual salary of $265,000. He began his tenure on July 1, 2023, and was placed on administrative leave following his arrest in September 2025.

Fox News is reporting that ICE agents recovered a loaded Glock 19 in Roberts’ vehicle.

Full statement from ICE:

ICE arrests criminal alien serving as Des Moines Public Schools Superintendent; prior weapons charges and in possession of loaded handgun at time of arrest

“ICE Des Moines today arrested Ian Andre Roberts, a criminal illegal alien from Guyana in possession of a loaded handgun, $3,000 in cash and a fixed blade hunting knife. At the time of his arrest Roberts was working as the Superintendent of Des Moines Public Schools despite being an illegal alien with a final order of removal and no work authorization.

During a targeted enforcement operation on Sept. 26, 2025, officers approached Roberts in his vehicle after identifying himself, but he sped away. Officers later discovered his vehicle abandoned near a wooded area. State Patrol assisted in locating the subject and he was taken into ICE custody.

Roberts has existing weapon possession charges from February 5, 2020. Roberts entered the United States in 1999 on a student visa and was given a final order of removal by an immigration judge in May of 2024.

The investigation into how Roberts acquired the handgun is being turned over to the ATF. It is a violation of federal law for those in the U.S. without legal status to possess a firearm and ammunition.

“This suspect was arrested in possession of a loaded weapon in a vehicle provided by Des Moines Public Schools after fleeing federal law enforcement,” said ICE ERO St. Paul Field Office Director Sam Olson. “This should be a wake-up call for our communities to the great work that our officers are doing every day to remove public safety threats. How this illegal alien was hired without work authorization, a final order of removal, and a prior weapons charge is beyond comprehension and should alarm the parents of that school district.”

ICE is grateful for the assistance of the Iowa State Patrol in apprehending this subject.”

ROME WITHOUT ROMANS, MASS FOREIGN MIGRATION HAS DESTROYED ITALIAN CULTURE! IS THE USA NEXT?

‘Does This Look Like Europe?’— Travel Vlogger Goes Viral for Exposing Rome’s Collapse Under Mass Migration (Video)

In a viral exposé from Rome, travel vlogger Kurt Caz captures what he calls the collapse of European identity—where migrants dominate public spaces, locals feel powerless, and even questioning the chaos earns you the label ‘racist.’

A popular travel vlogger has gone viral after documenting what he calls the “collapse of European identity” in the heart of Italy’s capital. In just days, the video has racked up over a million views—not for Rome’s ancient wonders, but for exposing the city’s descent into chaos, crime, and unchecked mass migration.

The video comes from South African-German YouTuber Kurt Caz, whose 3.3 million subscribers know him for raw, on-the-ground reports from around the globe. But his latest dispatch from Rome hits differently.

“This is Rome? This is Europe?”

“I don’t see a single Italian here. I’m more Italian than any of these people.”

Rome Without Romans

Caz walks viewers through what he calls a city “riddled” with migrants, pickpockets, drug addicts, and NGO-backed vagrants. Italian locals agree, telling Caz that migrants now openly defecate in public, sleep in parks, abuse drugs, and steal from tourists while police look the other way.

In the opening scene, Caz joins a local anti-pickpocket team in Rome’s metro. Within minutes, they catch multiple thieves in action. The culprits—mostly women covering their faces are cornered and confronted.

“These people have no morals. They steal from the elderly, from disabled tourists—and nothing happens to them.”

“You can’t touch them. You can’t push them. But the police don’t stop them either.”

Danger in Broad Daylight

The video shows drug addicts slumped in parks and migrants shooting up near tourist hotspots like the Colosseum. Caz warns viewers that tourists—especially young women—are in real danger:

“Can you imagine two tourist girls walking here at night? These crackheads would rip them apart.”

One local admits to carrying pepper spray after being attacked with a broken bottle the week prior. Another explains that most of the pickpockets are Roma gypsies and migrants from Romania, Bulgaria, and North Africa.

“You don’t want to hit them with your hand,” one man warns. “You might catch AIDS.”

“F*ing Racist!”

At one point, Caz tries to speak with a migrant from Bangladesh who refuses to explain why he’s in Italy. But things quickly escalate when an African migrant throws a drink at Caz and yells:

“We are the world! Your grandfathers took from us—learn your history!”

The confrontation grows tense as the man charges toward Caz, shouting, “F***ing racist!” and threatening violence.

“We’re not in Africa,” Caz snaps back. “Get away from me.”

“These Are the ‘Engineers and Doctors’ You Welcomed”

Reflecting on the scene, Caz calls out the media and politicians who promised that mass migration would benefit Europe:

“This is the thank you you get. These are the ‘engineers and doctors’ they promised you. They hate us—but they want to live in our countries.”

“The real racists are them.”

NGO Complicity: “Because of You, These Criminals Are Here”

In another scene, Caz confronts an NGO activist caring for migrants in the city. When the man demands that his face not be shown, Caz fires back:

“You’re a leftist. You’ve destroyed your country.”

“Because of these f***ing NGOs—these socialist organizations—we have these problems. You protect the criminals and abandon your own people.”

Leftist Protest: “Palestine Flags, Pride Flags, and No Italians”

Later, Caz stumbles into a leftist protest filled with Palestinian flags and LGBTQ pride banners. He’s visibly stunned:

“What a combination. Palestine and pride—what could go wrong?”

“Thousands of Italians out here protesting for a country that’s not even theirs… while their own cities fall apart.”

“This Is Rome in 2025”

The video ends with more confrontations, more pickpockets caught, and more scenes of urban decay—trash, urine, stolen goods, smashed windows, and broken infrastructure.

“Look at the f***ing state of the city. This isn’t Rome—it’s a war zone.”

“This is Europe now. And nobody’s stopping it.”

POLAND KNOWS HOW TO STOP ILLEGAL BORDER CROSSINGS..AND NOW ADDING A MINE FIELD!

Poland Stops 98% of Illegal Migrant Crossings with a 116-Mile, 16ft-High Border Wall – and Now it’s Adding a Minefield

Poland cut illegal immigration from Belarus by 98% after building a 116-mile border wall – and now Donald Tusk’s Government is adding a minefield. Turns out robust clampdown on illegal entry is okay if it’s from Russia. The Mail has more.

Poland’s Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski has claimed a £300 million border wall has proven “98% effective” at preventing attempts of illegal migration from Belarus.

“We had large numbers of people who were invited by Russia and Belarus from the Middle East and Africa who were then pushed across the Polish-Belarusian border into Poland,” Sikorski told BBCR4’s Today programme.

Warsaw alleges that Minsk and Moscow have long been waging a “hybrid war”, seeking to flood Poland with refugees to strain the country’s finances and law enforcement resources, and destabilise civil society.

“This year we have completed a big and beautiful fence with sensors overground, underground, with a patrol road alongside it, so hardly anybody gets through that barrier,” Sikorski declared.

He also mentioned a recent amendment to immigration legislation that stipulates migrants attempting to reach Poland via Russia and Belarus can continue to apply for asylum in Poland, but only at consulate buildings in Moscow and Minsk.

The anti-migration fencing was completed in June 2022 and now spans a 116-mile-long stretch of the Polish-Belarusian border, but was subsequently upgraded with surveillance equipment, including CCTV cameras, heat and motion sensors.

The five-metre-high metal fence scythes through the Polish countryside, covered with miles upon miles of barbs and topped with razor wire.

Border checkpoints are also reinforced with huge concrete slabs, each weighing more than 1.5 tonnes, along with secondary walls and barbed-wire fencing.

Sikorski spoke to BBCR4 amid discussions about soaring illegal migration figures in Britain, with 20,000 migrants said to have arrived in Britain via small boats crossing the Channel so far in 2025.

Now, Polish authorities are proceeding full steam ahead with a new project – East Shield – which aims to transform its entire frontier with Belarus and the Russian exclave of Kaliningrad into one gigantic, closely surveilled fortification.

The 400-mile-long construction, announced last year and targeted for completion in 2028, arguably constitutes the single most significant national security investment in Poland’s post-war history at more than £2 billion.

It was green-lit by Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk’s government in response to Russia’s war in Ukraine, and Moscow and Minsk’s so-called hybrid war tactics.

In addition to the barbed wire-topped fencing, concrete reinforcements and secondary defences, the East Shield will see strips of land turned into minefields and littered with anti-tank fortifications including steel and concrete hedgehogs, ‘dragon’s teeth’ obstacles and deep trenches, along with drone defence equipment.

This multi-layered line of defence is expected to extend more than 200 metres back from the initial border wall.

Behind these defences, Warsaw is constructing bunkers, firing posts and other military infrastructure in the forests, woods and small villages spanning the length of the country to provide yet more resistance should the deterrent fail.

According to details provided by the government, the programme will also employ state-of-the-art surveillance equipment, including imagery intelligence (IMINT), signals intelligence (SIGINT), and acoustic monitoring to improve situational awareness of the would-be battlefield.

Poland of course is an EU member and an ECHR signatory, so it seems those are no barrier to these kinds of measures – Yvette Cooper take note. It’s amazing how accommodating Europe can be when it feels like it.

CHINA DELIVERED FAKE DRIVER LICENSES TO ALLOW MASS ILLEGAL VOTING FOR BIDEN IN 2020 ELECTION, FBI HID THIS INFORMATION, TIK TOK USER DATA USED TO CREATE FALSE ID’S

Patel, Bongino say prior FBI leaders hid evidence of Chinese interference in 2020 election

“Previous FBI leadership chose to play politics and withhold key information from the American people,” the bureau’s new top two leaders say.

FBI Director Kash Patel and Deputy Director Dan Bongino alleged Tuesday that the bureau’s prior leadership “chose to play politics” and hide evidence from the American people of a Chinese plot to hijack the 2020 U.S. election with fake mail-in ballots for Joe Biden.

The two FBI leaders’ statement came a week after Just the News reported Patel turned over to Congress earlier this month a long-hidden intelligence report raising concerns that China had mass-produced fake U.S. driver’s licenses to carry out a scheme to swing the 2020 election to Biden with fake mail-in ballots.

Patel located the evidence based on information that Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, got from whistleblowers and forwarded to the FBI, officials said.

Patel and Bongino said Tuesday they are committed to getting Grassley and the American public more evidence about the plot and the failure to fully investigate it.

“Based on our continued review and production of FBI documents related to the CCP’s plot to interfere in the 2020 U.S. Presidential election, previous FBI leadership chose to play politics and withhold key information from the American people – exposing the weaponization of law enforcement for political purposes during the height of the 2020 election season,” Patel and Bongino said in statement given to Just the News.

“Thanks to the great Oversight work of Chairman Grassley, the information the old FBI regime covered up will now be released to the public,” they added. “This FBI leadership team will continue keeping our promise of aggressive transparency and working around the clock to fix the underlying problems to restore the FBI to the trusted institution the American people deserve.”

The newly declassified intelligence reports from August 2020 weren’t corroborated or fully investigated and instead were recalled from intelligence agencies at about the time that then-FBI Director Chris Wray testified there were no known plots of foreign interference ahead of the 2020 election in which Biden defeated Donald Trump, officials told Just the News.

When they were recalled, FBI officials asked fellow spy agencies to destroy their copies of the intelligence report, which included detailed information from a cooperating confidential human source.

“This report was recalled in order to re-interview the source. Recipients should destroy all copies of the original report and remove the original report from all computer holdings,” the recall notice obtained by Just the News stated.

The subject line of the FBI intelligence bulletin succinctly stated the potential nature of the alleged plot: “Chinese Government Production and Export of Fraudulent US Driver’s Licenses to Chinese Sympathizers in the United States, in Order to Create Tens of Thousands of Fraudulent Mail-in Votes for US Presidential Candidate Joe Biden, in late August 2020

That said, the FBI bulletin provided significantly detailed information for agencies to investigate as leads to make sure the U.S. election wasn’t being hijacked by a foreign power seeking to exploit a sudden explosion in mail-in voting during the COVID-19 pandemic that struck earlier in 2020.

“In late August 2020, the Chinese government had produced a large amount of fraudulent United States driver’s licenses that were secretly exported to the United States,” the report reads “The fraudulent driver’s licenses would allow tens of thousands of Chinese students and immigrants sympathetic to the Chinese Communist Party to vote for U.S. presidential candidate Joe Biden despite not being eligible to vote in the United States.”

“China had collected private US user data from millions of TikTok accounts, to include name, ID and address, which would allow the Chinese government to use real US persons’ information to create the fraudulent driver’s license,” the report continues. “The fraudulent driver’s licenses were to include true ID number and true address of US citizens, making them difficult to detect. China planned to use the fraudulent driver’s licenses to account for tens of thousands of mail-in votes.”
