NEW DHS RULE WILL PENALIZE IMMIGRANTS WHO USE WELFARE

THAT LUNATIC ILLEGAL CANADIAN IMMIGRANT, NOW IN CUSTODY, DELANEY HALL
Trending on social media just about everywhere--with apologies from our Canadian friends and family: Loonie goons Wild video shows moment Canadian illegal immigrant slaps teen on NJ boardwalk after fight over patriotic clothes
Wild video appears to show the moment crazy Canadian illegal immigrant Kaitlyn Tracey battered a teenager at the Jersey Shore over Fourth of July weekend for sporting pro-Trump gear, landing her in ICE custody.
STATUS OF.....: Tracey didn’t go back home “in violation of our nation’s laws” and overstayed her visa by failing “to depart,” the DHS spokesperson said. She was arrested on Monday and slapped with endangering the welfare of a child, simple assault, harassment and obstruction charges, according to court records viewed by The Post. The Canuck will remain at Delaney Hall pending her immigration proceedings — the very immigration detention center that her lefty husband has railed about on social media.

YOWZER---PRESIDENT TRUMP REVEALS WHAT WE ALL SUSPECTED ABOUT THE 2020 ELECTION IN PRIMETIME ADDRESS
MATT VESPA
Trust in the country leads to greatness, and our elections play a big role in that.
The system we have falls catastrophically short of that standard. Trump announced a massive declassification of documents showing how exposed our election system is to hacking and foreign interference. Top White House aides and intelligence agency chiefs have all reviewed and authenticated the documents.
The documents highlight major areas of concern. Starting in 2020, Beijing carried out the largest-ever compromise of election data. Some 220 million American voters' files were meddled with by Chinese intelligence services. China signed a data exploitation unit for this project.
Members of the Deep State within the IC worked to suppress and downplay the scope and impact of China’s election interference. U.S. spy agencies discovered that the voter data breach in 18 states was bought, stolen, or hacked by China. That breach was kept hidden; Trump, who was still president at the time, was not informed, nor was Congress. The line was that the 2020 election was the most secure in history.
CIA reported in mid-2018 that the Chinese Communist Party’s strategy was to leverage all domestic and foreign elements opposed to Trump. In mid-2019, China’s approach was to undermine domestic confidence during the first Trump presidency. The Chinese government aimed to identify anti-Trump reporters and pay them large sums of money to produce stories that cast Trump in a negative light.
The FBI obtained raw intelligence indicating that China’s activities included efforts to produce illegal ballots for Joe Biden. These were kept out of the presidential briefing. One analyst admitted to intentionally downplaying Chinese election activities. Another official stated she was running a shadow government to keep intelligence on China’s election interference away from the media and the White House. Numerous burn bags have been found.
Americans were lied to about the security of our election systems, including voting machines. They’re highly susceptible to attack. Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, and non-state actors have the ability to compromise our election infrastructure.
