NEW OVERNIGHT … TOM HOMAN IS COMING FOR NJ GOVERNOR … DW: Border Czar Homan: I’ll Prosecute NJ Governor If He’s Concealing An Illegal Alien (VIDEO)

“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.

Border Patrol Recorded Only 582 Illegal Crossings on Sunday– legalinsurrection.com

Fox News’s Bill Melugin discovered that the Border Patrol only recorded 583 illegal crossings on Sunday.

Melugin wrote on X:

NEW: Per sources, Border Patrol recorded just 582 illegal crossings at the southern border yesterday, with not a single one of the nine sectors hitting 200.

I’ve never seen anything this low in all of my border coverage. The numbers were already flat/low in Biden’s final week, bouncing between 1,200-1,400 illegal crossings daily, but the numbers have been falling off a cliff since Trump took office.

Last three days

January 24 – 665
January 25 – 731
January 26 – 582

To put this into perspective, at the height of the border crisis in December 2023, Border Patrol hit a record high 11,000+ illegal crossings across the border in a single day, with the Del Rio sector alone getting 4,000+.

I’m told there were 582 illegal crossings across the southern border yesterday, with only 60 happening in the Del Rio sector.

Judge refuses to let man search landfill for his lost $713 million Bitcoin hard drive– www.techspot.com

What just happened? The sad case of James Howells, the man who has spent the last decade trying to recover a hard drive containing $713 million worth (at the time of writing) of Bitcoin from a local landfill, may have come to an end. He sued his local council for the right to search the site last year, but a judge has thrown out the case before it went to full trial at the High Court.

Howells has been unsuccessfully trying to persuade the council of Newport, Wales, to allow him to dig for the 2.5-inch drive for years. He even promised to donate 10%, or around $71 million, of the Bitcoin to the local community if allowed to carry out a successful search.

In October, Howells sued the city for the right to search the landfill or pay him £495 million ($607 million) in compensation. He claimed in court that he has a “finely tuned plan” to recover the component, and that its position has been narrowed down to a small area.

Excerpt:

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg told podcast host Joe Rogan on Friday that officials in President Joe Biden’s administration would yell and hurl profanities at his company’s employees over content censorship.

The Biden administration pushed Facebook to censor posts about COVID-19 that it deemed misinformation, according to documents published by House Judiciary Committee chairman Jim Jordan in July 2023. Zuckerberg, on “The Joe Rogan Experience,” revealed that also Meta faced investigations and backlash after Biden accused Facebook of “killing people” in July 2021 for not censoring so-called COVID-19 misinformation.

Biden administration extends temporary status for more than 200,000 from El Salvador for 18 months – PBS NewsHour

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.

The Mass Mailer President Joe Biden Committee has ordered all American offshore drilling banned to help “ensure our oceans and coasts are resilient to the threats of climate change and nature loss.”  The administration believes somehow the Trump administration cannot undo this order with his own order, though legal skeptics abound.

The White House claimed, “Drilling off these coasts could cause irreversible damage to places we hold dear and is unnecessary to meet our nation’s energy needs. It is not worth the risks. As the climate crisis continues to threaten communities across the country and we are transitioning to a clean energy economy, now is the time to protect these coasts for our children and grandchildren.”

Excerpt:

President Joe Biden evidenced his desire Monday to continue burning bridges and salting the earth on his way out of office, this time announcing a ban on all new offshore oil and gas drilling along the entire U.S. Atlantic coast and eastern Gulf of Mexico, as well as in Pacific waters off the coasts of California, Oregon, and Washington and in the Northern Bering Sea bordering Alaska.

While Biden has approved numerous offshore wind projects that not only can have a devastating impact on wildlife and the environment but generate a tremendous amount of pollution, the White House framed his decision to ban offshore drilling as a way to help “ensure our oceans and coasts are resilient to the threats of climate change and nature loss.”

Biden’s ban, executed under the 1953 Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act, applies to roughly 334 million acres of the Atlantic Outer Continental Shelf running down America’s eastern flank from Canada to the southern tip of Florida; to 250 million acres of federal waters off the West Coast; and to 44 million acres of the Northern Bering Sea.

The White House suggested that Biden’s unilateral decision to prevent Americans from taking advantage of the rich and internationally coveted resources under 625 million acres of U.S. ocean would not adversely impact the nation’s energy needs.

“Drilling off these coasts could cause irreversible damage to places we hold dear and is unnecessary to meet our nation’s energy needs. It is not worth the risks,” Biden said in a statement. “As the climate crisis continues to threaten communities across the country and we are transitioning to a clean energy economy, now is the time to protect these coasts for our children and grandchildren.”

Trump Takes Aim at Kamala’s ‘Illegal’ Pre-Interview Campaign Payments to Sharpton, Potentially Spelling Trouble for Comcast’s Bid To Spin Off MSNBC– freebeacon.com

Excerpt:

President-elect Donald Trump accused MSNBC host Al Sharpton of taking illegal donations from the Kamala Harris campaign ahead of softball interviews with the Democrat last year, potentially spelling trouble for MSNBC and its parent company Comcast ahead of a planned corporate spinoff.

In a series of posts on Truth Social, Trump accused the Harris campaign of seeking to “illegally buy endorsements” from Sharpton and celebrities like Beyoncé Knowles and Oprah Winfrey prior to the election.

Trump’s remarks were based on a Washington Free Beacon report that the Harris campaign donated $500,000 to Sharpton’s nonprofit, the National Action Network, weeks before the activist interviewed Harris on his MSNBC show, PoliticsNation.

“Totally against the law,” Trump asserted.

Michigan to Chop Down over 400 Acres of Trees to Fight ‘Global Warming’ with Chinese Solar Panels– slaynews.com

Excerpt:

Officials in Democrat-controlled Michigan are planning to chop down over 400 acres of trees in the state’s forestland to supposedly fight “global warming.”

A 420-acre swath of state forestland will be cleared to make way for a Chinese solar farm near Gaylord, a top state official confirmed to MLive.

The deal is under a lease agreement with the Michigan Department of Natural Resources (DNR).

Officials with the DNR recently assessed 1,200 acres of public trust land in Otsego County near a major power transmission line to decide whether it was suitable for solar arrays.

Agency leaders ultimately decided to lease 35% of that land to accompany other adjacent solar projects already in the works.

This comes as the DNR faces dwindling revenues from hunting and fishing licenses.

“Gift to Cartels”: Biden Regime Working to BAN Cigarettes in Last Days of Presidency– wltreport.com

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.
