While President Joe Biden might finally visit the nation’s southern border on Thursday, many border town residents aren’t all that excited about the prospect.
Indeed, Deborah Bell, who lives in Brownsville, Texas, had a blistering message for Biden.
She made her thoughts clear Tuesday morning on Fox News’ “Fox & Friends,” saying, “The residents, the agents, everybody’s talking about how this is gonna be a dog and pony show.”
According to Bell, few people are thrilled with the president’s visit.
“People are not happy that he is choosing right now of all times to come to Brownsville,” she said, pointing out that the Charro Days festival starts Thursday.
“Things are already going to look nice, but whatever needs to be fixed will be fixed, obviously, for President Biden,” Bell said. “And let’s say if it wasn’t fixed, he doesn’t care anyways. He knows exactly what he’s done to our country, and he’s just coming to survey his damage.”
Further, she said she thinks the president is reacting to conservative political gains in the area.
“Biden’s taking notice that the trend down here is shifting and people are very unhappy with what’s going on,” Bell said.
She said she had received several messages from residents expressing their intention to protest the president’s visit.

Bell and her fellow Brownsville residents have a right to be upset with the Biden administration.
As Fox News reported, about 7.3 million illegal immigrants have entered this country since he took office in January 2021 — a number that exceeds the populations of 36 states.
Residents of towns like Brownsville — right on the border with Mexico — have borne the brunt of Biden’s weak border policies more than anyone in the country.
Of course they’re not happy that the president is coming to visit, especially since the trip is such a transparent attempt to boost his flagging approval numbers.
Not only that, but Biden is probably going to use the visit as a means to promote the border bill that was recently shot down in Congress.
Bell, then, speaks for many of the people living along the border.
Biden clearly has no desire to fix the border crisis he created, so his visit is nothing more than an empty political stunt.
And for the people witnessing the toll illegal immigration is taking on the country firsthand, their tolerance for empty political stunts is understandably low.

My title for this column was meant to be funny, attention-getting and a bit tongue-in-cheek. But what my headline represents is real. It is “serious as a heart attack,” as the famous saying goes.
For all intents and purposes, President Trump is now the GOP nominee for President. It’s time to start the general election campaign. And I have the plan…
President Trump needs to go after the black vote 24/7 for the next nine months. This is THE road to victory.
I’m no Johnny-Come-Lately. I’ve been recommending this strategy for President Trump for many years. I wrote about it way back during the 2016 campaign. I wrote about it again during the 2020 race. I’ve given speeches about it.
The strategy is simple. President Trump already has the overwhelming majority of white middle-class voters. White middle-class America is “all-in” for Trump. Trump “had them at hello!”
But President Trump cannot win the 2024 election with just middle-class white votes. Even if it’s virtually ALL OF THEM!
Trump has so many white votes locked up, if he gets even a slight increase in black and minority votes, he will win a landslide.
That’s why President Trump needs to campaign 24/7 for the next nine months for black and minority votes. That’s the whole ballgame, the whole kitchen sink, the whole enchilada.
If Trump grabs an extra 10% to 20% of the black vote, “the fat lady sings.”
So, go after the black vote with TV ads on networks with large black audiences. Go after the black youth vote with interviews on urban black radio stations. Hold rallies in majority-black inner cities. Especially cities in battleground states where a few extra black votes could tilt the election…
*Bronx, Brooklyn and Queens in New York (which could be in play).
*Philadelphia in winnable Pennsylvania.
*Atlanta in winnable Georgia.
*Milwaukee in winnable Wisconsin.
*Detroit in winnable Michigan.
The point is to go where no Republican has ever gone. To challenge the hold that Democrats have on black votes everywhere. And to play offense- because the best defense is an aggressive, in-your-face, 24/7 offense on the other guy’s turf.
There are two reasons I understand this strategy perhaps better than any white Republican in America.
First, I grew up in a majority-black town on the Bronx borderline, in Mt. Vernon, New York. I went to an all-black middle school and an all-black high school. I was in a tiny minority of whites at those schools. I was bullied by my black classmates and fought back…I won the respect of my black classmates…and I became best friends with my black classmates.
I was the only white kid in the school who made this breakthrough. I eventually played on the track and football teams with all black classmates.
Secondly, forty years ago, at the age of 21 years old, I ran for major political office in New York…as a Republican-conservative…in a district that was overwhelmingly black…and literally 100% Democrat.
I had zero chance to win. No Republican had ever even come close. It was considered the most unwinnable district for Republicans in the state of New York. My opponent was never defeated in that district- before, or since.
But I had a plan to “take the race to her” in black neighborhoods. To campaign in all-black “project buildings” where no Republican had ever set foot before. And to wear out the shoe leather until I knocked on the door of every black voter in my district.
Black residents were shocked in those poverty-stricken, graffiti-covered, high-crime “project buildings” when they answered the door and standing in front of them was a white 21-year-old Republican asking for their vote!
I didn’t win that race. But I gave the incumbent Democrat the race of her lifetime. I had the highest vote totals in all-black “project buildings”- than any Republican ever.
And I made it the closest race of my opponent’s entire career- before or after. She won twenty races and lost 0. But I came the closest of anyone ever.
Because I dared to campaign where no Republican had ever gone before.
She called me on the night of the election and said to me, “Please promise me you’ll never run against me again. I can’t take another race like that. I’ll have a heart attack.”
I understand black voters like perhaps no other white Republican in America. I understand what it takes to win their votes. And I know Trump can get the highest black vote totals of any Republican in history- and lock up the 2024 election.
Trump already starts with several major advantages:
*Black voters feel kinship with a man being persecuted by a weaponized government and an unjust justice system.
*Black voters have gotten nothing from the Democrat Party in all these years- other than broken promises and welfare checks. Look around at black inner-city neighborhoods. No Democrat has ever given them opportunity, mobility, or prosperity. What do black voters have to lose? It can’t get any worse.
*Now look at Trump’s first term. Trump gave black voters criminal justice reform…a prosperous economy…and the lowest black unemployment in history.
Biden and Democrats have handed the opportunity of a lifetime to Trump and the GOP.
Democrats have chosen illegal aliens over black citizens. Because of open borders, black communities, schools and healthcare are being overrun. Crime is exploding. Drugs are everywhere. Budgets are busted. There is no money left for black citizens. Even in Chicago black voters are threatening to vote Republican.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get blacks to vote Republican. Even if Michelle Obama replaces Joe Biden- as I’ve predicted for over a year. President Trump will still get historic levels of black male votes.
President Trump, this is your chance to win 2024 by a massive landslide. But you have to fight for it. Take my advice…
“If you campaign black, you will be back (in the White House).”

Globalist poster boy Emmanuel Macron, former Rothschild banker, is a failed President of France who goes on from crisis to crisis, never having a moment to govern with a sense of normalcy.
Just days ago, the political survivor Macron wanted to visit the Agricultural Fair in Paris, a traditional annual event – but the revolting French farmers broke through security and invaded the fair space, leading Macron to RUN surrounded by his security detail – see the photo below.
You would think that this beleaguered ‘leader’ would focus all his attention on solving the very dire problems facing his country, from unchecked mass migration to poverty, a stagnant economy, crippling ‘green’ policies killing French agriculture, etc.
But no – this is Emmanuel Macron, the man always looking for a ‘positive agenda’ moment, however inappropriate – or, in this case, catastrophic – this moment may turn out to be.
Macron hosted yet another meeting of the countries helping Ukraine’s war effort. It included representatives of the European Union’s 27 member countries, including 21 heads of state.
Most countries went there to discuss sending ammo or tanks – some more engaged perhaps had long-range missiles and planes in mind.
But not Macron, the man in search of the holophotes.
He made sure that European leaders ‘discussed the possibility’ of sending Western troops to Ukraine in a bilateral fashion.
What this means, probably, judging by the reaction of said countries, is that Macron floated the idea and everyone else discarded it vehemently – hence the ‘discussion.’
But Macron made sure to repeat the insane idea for everyone in the media to hear – and catapulted his idiocy out to the farthest recesses of the globe.
Business Insider reported:
“French President Emmanuel Macron told reporters after the Monday meeting that the prospect of sending Western troops to Ukraine could not ‘be ruled out’.
Representatives at the meeting did not reach consensus about the question of putting troops on the ground in Ukraine, Macron said, though he added that ‘we cannot exclude anything’.”
While Macron got his moment in the spotlight by threatening to kickoff WW3, the other countries participating were pretty quick in waving away his dangerous and stupid idea.
‘Britain is not planning a large-scale deployment of troops’, PM Rishi Sunak’s spokesman.
‘Finland is not ready to send its military to Ukraine’, President Sauli Niinistö.
‘There will be ground forces or soldiers on Ukrainian soil sent there by European states or NATO countries’, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz.
‘Macron proposed sending troops, but no one supported this idea’, German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius.
‘NATO countries disagree on the prospect of sending their troops to Ukraine and no such decisions have been made’, Polish President Andrzej Duda.
‘Stockholm is not considering sending its military to Ukraine’, Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson.
‘There is no talk of sending Czech military personnel to Ukraine’, Prime Minister of the Czech Republic, Petr Fiala.
The Italian Foreign Ministry: ‘we are not at war with Russia’.
‘NATO has no plans to send combat units to Ukraine’, Secretary General Stoltenberg.
In France, the reaction to the Macron factoid was as bad as you’d imagine.
The Le Figaro’s poll ‘Do you support sending French troops to the ground in Ukraine?’ showed over 76% negative responses.
Macron’s folly caused innumerable reactions around the globe. Arnaud Bertrand, on X, wrote:
“As for conventional forces, the French army has only 80,000 ‘combat’ men (out of a total of 205,000), of which at best 30,000 would be deployable. Half of the equipment (tanks, helicopters) is currently not operational.
[…] Under these conditions, to gesture – because it is a political gesture – when one does not have the means makes no diplomatic sense. It is, on the contrary, sending a signal of weakness to the ‘adversary’ one seeks to impress.
[…] Thus, this is the third time we are faced with an erratic initiative from Emmanuel Macron, after his disclosure of parts of telephone conversations with V. Putin and his desire to invite himself, outside any rule, to the BRICS summit in 2023.
[…] That a nuclear power, with a veto right at the UN Security Council, can be represented by a president like Emmanuel Macron, with erratic and/or adventurous initiatives, should be a source of concern and anger for any self-respecting French person.”
Also, an ‘unnamed senior European defense official’ spilled the beans on Financial Times about a present reality:
“Everyone knows there are western special forces in Ukraine — they’ve just not acknowledged it officially.”
Russians reacted in an unfazed way.
Sputnik reported:
“Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that Moscow had taken notice of the French president’s remarks and was well aware of his position regarding the need to inflict a strategic defeat on Russia, adding that some countries that participated in a meeting held in Paris on Ukraine held a quite ‘wise assessment of potential dangers’ of being involved in the conflict.”

The Gateway Pundit reported on Monday the Prince George’s County homicide unit arrested 25-year-old Nelson Granados-Trejo in connection with the murder of a toddler in Prince George’s County, Maryland.
In the police report, it was reported Nelson Granados-Trejo had “no fixed address” but did not give details if he was an illegal immigrant.
Now, a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokesperson has confirmed Nelson Granados-Trejo is an illegal immigrant from El Salvador.
Fox 5 D.C. reported that on Nov. 7, 2022, a Department of Justice immigration judge in New Jersey ordered Trejo-Granados to be removed from the United States.

After being ordered to be removed from the U.S., Trejo-Granados was arrested for theft four months later in Montgomery County, Maryland.
Upon hearing of his arrest, ICE lodged an immigration detainer on Trejo-Granados.
However, the Montgomery County Department of Corrections refused to honor the detainer.
In September of 2023, Montgomery County Police arrested Trejo-Granados for theft again; ICE lodged another detainer, which MCDC ignored.
Per Fox 5 DC:
A fifth suspect has been arrested in connection with the murder of 2-year-old Jeremy Poou Caceres.
The Prince George’s County Police Department announced Monday they’re now charging 25-year-old Nilson Trejo-Granados with first and second-degree murder.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Removal Operations Baltimore spokesperson James Covington confirmed with FOX 5 that Trejo-Granados is an unlawfully present Salvadoran national.
On Nov. 7, 2022, a Department of Justice immigration judge in Newark, New Jersey ordered Trejo-Granados’ removal from the United States.
According to the ICE records, the Montgomery County Police Department arrested Trejo-Granados on March 21, 2023, and charged him with theft. While those charges remain pending, ICE lodged an Immigration Detainer on Trejo-Granados with the Montgomery County Detention Center on March 22, 2023; however, the agency says MCDC refused to honor the detainer and Trejo-Granados was released by MCDC on March 27, 2023.

President Biden revealed to reporters Wednesday that he is making an unannounced trip to Walter Reed Hospital for a physical exam.
As the Associated Press reported, Biden went on to claim that a “written summary” would be released later in the day.
Walter Reed Hospital, which serves as the standard medical center all U.S. Presidents, is located in Bethesda, Maryland. Biden has undergone yearly physical examinations since he began occupying the White House.
Biden’s poor health has been particularly scrutinized ever since Special Counsel Robert Hur released a damning evaluation in his report on Biden’s stolen classified documents investigation earlier this month. He described Biden as an “elderly man with a poor memory” after hours of questioning.
Biden showed further signs of dementia after lashing out at reporters during a wild press conference following the report’s release and calling Egypt’s president Abdel Fattah El-Sisi the “president of Mexico.”
However, the exam is highly unlikely to include a mental evaluation. The Gateway Pundit previously reported there would be no cognitive assessment test despite Biden’s obvious signs of mental decline.
White House Physician Kevin O’Connor claimed he would not advise Biden to undergo a neurological exam or cognitive test as part of his belated physical.
The White House is probably scared of the results, knowing they would doom Biden’s re-election bid for good.
Beyond his obvious mental limitations, Biden has had a variety of physical ailments. He had a colonoscopy in 2021, in which a 3-millimeter “benign-appearing polyp” was identified and removed. The report also acknowledged Joe Biden’s stiffened gait (which has worsened), persistent cough, and chronic throat-clearing.
In 1988, Biden had surgery to repair two brain aneurysms with one of them leaking.
An overwhelming number of Americans, even Democrats, have expressed deep worry over Biden’s health and whether he should attempt to seize another four years in office.
