'Treasonous': Mayorkas wasted FEMA funds helping illegal aliens. Now he says there's not enough for Americans.



Hurricane Helene has killed hundreds of Americans across six states, obliterated entire settlements, and left multitudes of citizens homeless, hungry, and exposed in the dark.

Help is badly needed. The trouble, according to Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, is that the Federal Emergency Management Agency lacks the requisite funds.

During a press briefing Wednesday, Mayorkas told reporters, "We are meeting the immediate needs with the money that we have. We are expecting another hurricane hitting. We do not have the funds."

Congress recently poured $20 billion into FEMA's disaster relief fund and enabled the agency to draw on the funds with greater ease, reported the Associated Press.

"FEMA does not have the funds to make it through the season and what is imminent," added Mayorkas, before concern-mongering about climate change.

President Joe Biden has suggested that Congress might have to approve additional funding for disaster relief. While the DHS might soon enjoy another cash injection, critics have raised the matter of where the original funds went — realizing that much of it was blown helping illegal aliens who have stolen into the homeland under Mayorkas' watch.

'We have a government that not only hates us but wants us dead.'

FEMA's shelter and services program is a prime offender, providing "financial support to non-federal entities to provide humanitarian services to noncitizen migrants following their release from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The intent is to support CBP in the safe, orderly and humane release of noncitizen migrants from short-term holding facilities."

The total funding made available for this program in fiscal year 2024 was $650 million. The funding total in fiscal year 2023 was $363.8 million. Hundreds of millions were previously awarded by FEMA for migrants through the emergency food and shelter program.

Earlier this year, nearly $19.6 million in FEMA funds was used to pay for an illegal alien welcome center in San Diego County.

In response to Mayorkas turning out empty pockets, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) wrote, "This is easy. Mayorkas and FEMA — immediately stop spending money on illegal immigration resettlement and redirect those funds to areas hit by the hurricane. Put Americans first."

Rep. Tim Burchett (R-Tenn.) tweeted, "FEMA spending over a billion dollars on illegals while they leave Americans stranded and without help is treasonous. U.S. citizens are dying. Pray for our country folks."

"'The Biden-Harris FEMA spent over $1 BILLION on funding illegal aliens.' America LAST," wrote Rep. Eli Crane (R-Ariz.).

"Let me translate: 'We are racking up trillions in debt with all the money that our money printer prints that we then take back from law-abiding American citizens like you but we exist to spend it on anything other than helping you,'" wrote Blaze News editor in chief Matthew Peterson.

Elon Musk simply expressed disbelief, writing, "Wow."

"We have a government that not only hates us but wants us dead," wrote Chad Prather, host of "The Chad Prather Show. "The onus is on them at this point to prove otherwise. They won't … because I'm right."

While the DHS continues sinking taxpayer funds into aiding illegal aliens, FEMA will make a one-time $750 payment available to some qualifying Americans in Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia so that they can buy food, water, and other supplies.

According to the FEMA website, the agency's top strategic goal is to "instill equity as a foundation of emergency management."

Tyson Foods reportedly wants to hire 42,000 migrants, company laid off 1,200 after shuttering Iowa facility and more closures planned



Tyson Foods wants to hire 42,000 migrants to work in the United States, according to a new report. However, the massive food conglomerate just laid off 1,200 employees after shuttering a facility in Iowa last week and reportedly has other closures planned.

Bloomberg reported last week, "For companies like Tyson Foods Inc., struggling to fill unpleasant jobs with a U.S. unemployment rate of 3.9%, this new population presents an alluring opportunity."

Tyson joined the Tent Partnership for Refugees – a self-described nonprofit that "advises member companies on how they can build effective refugee hiring programs and integrate refugees into their workforces."

Tyson purportedly plans to double the number of migrants they employ.

Garrett Dolan – an associate director of human resources at Tyson Foods – told the outlet, "We would like to employ another 42,000 if we could find them."

According to Bloomberg, "Asylum hopefuls are typically eligible to receive work permits 180 days after they apply for the legal status, though some can receive them sooner. Many will wait years before their first immigration hearing due to court backlogs, but they’ll be allowed to work in the meantime."

Dolan noted that a large portion of new hires "are going to come from refugees and immigrants, so we’re now in the business of strategically thinking that through."

Dolan said the migrants are "very, very loyal,"

"They’ve been uprooted and what they want is stability — what they want is a sense of belonging," he added.

Last Monday, Tyson Foods announced that it was permanently closing its pork processing facility in Perry, Iowa. The closure coming in July would cost the jobs of 1,200 employees.

Fox Business reported, "Tyson plants in Arkansas, Virginia, Indiana, and Missouri are similarly scheduled to be shuttered in the coming months."

After the Bloomberg report was released, many Americans organized a boycott to counter the company hiring migrants.

However, Tyson Foods is disputing the narrative that the company wants to hire illegal immigrants.

"In recent days, there has been a lot of misinformation in the media about our company, and we feel compelled to set the record straight," the company said in a statement last week. "Tyson Foods is strongly opposed to illegal immigration, and we led the way in participating in the two major government programs to help employers combat unlawful employment, E-Verify and the Mutual Agreement between Government and Employers (IMAGE) program."

John Tyson – the grandson of the founder of Tyson Foods – and his family have a net worth of approximately $2.6 billion, according to Forbes.

Tyson Foods produces approximately 20% of the beef, pork, and chicken in the United States, according to the company. The food conglomerate includes brands such as Jimmy Dean, Hillshire Farm, BallPark, Wright, Aidell’s, and State Fair.

'The big scam nobody is talking about': House Democrat makes damning admission on why she needs illegal aliens



New York, like much of the country, is beleaguered by migrants who have stolen into the nation illegally. New York City is shelling out tens of billions of dollars to address the problem — an imported problem that has overloaded its shelters, displaced citizen students, brought back once-eradicated diseases, driven its Democratic mayor well past the point of desperation, and put poor New Yorkers both out in the cold and at the back of the line.

Democratic Rep. Yvette Clarke, a radical leftist congresswoman running for re-election this year in New York's 9th District, made clear in an undated video that went viral this week that this avoidable crisis is not all for naught. Rather, she regards it as a good thing for the right people.

"I'm from Brooklyn, New York. We have a diaspora that can absorb a significant number of these migrants," said Clarke, who has served on the House Committee on Homeland Security. "When I hear colleagues talk about, you know, the doors of the inn being closed — ah, no room at the inn — I'm saying I need more people in my district just for redistricting purposes."

Democrats have been fighting for years to redraw New York's congressional map to ensure Republicans no longer have a chance in two to six swing districts from Long Island to Syracuse. The New York Times noted that the New York Court of Appeals' (the state's highest court) controversial ruling last month may ultimately flip the House in Democrats' favor. More bodies will help in that regard.

"And those members could clearly fit here," added Clarke, referencing illegal aliens.

— (@)

Conservatives and Republicans have suggested that Clarke's shocking admission amounts to confirmation that the border crisis is intentional — that Democrats' aim has, all along, been to import new voting blocs.

"Here's the big scam nobody is talking about," wrote Vickie Paladino, a Republican New York City councilwoman whose district is directly impacted by the migrant influx celebrated by Clarke. "Congressional seats are allocated by population. Higher population states get more congressional seats, and therefore more political power in Washington."

"Blue states have been LOSING seats as people flee progressive policies," continued Paladino. "We're set to possibly lose THREE seats by 2030 in NY. These allocations are determined by census-calculated raw population, including illegals. See how it works?"

The U.S. Census Bureau recently released data showing nearly 1.4 million residents fled California and New York in 2022 alone.

Paladino underscored that open borders and the ongoing invasion by foreign nationals serve to "bolster blue state power."

"Remember, everything the left does is a power play," added the councilwoman. "They'll plunge our cities and our nation into abject chaos if it means four or five more blue congressional seats."

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott responded to the video, writing, "These Democrats are looking out for themselves, not for America."

Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz (R) insinuated Clarke's statement served tosubstantiate the "replacement theory," which holds that leftist elites seek to replace increasingly unsympathetic citizen populations with foreign nationals in hopes of cementing their hold on power, not only in political institutions but in cultural institutions as well.

Ari Fleischer, former White House press secretary under President George W. Bush, tweeted, "We need more people to come to America illegally - so I can keep my job in Congress. If you want to know why Ds support illegal immigration, here's your sorry answer. It's stunning she said it."

Various critics and pundits were similarly stunned by Clarke's forthrightness. Investigative journalist James O'Keefe wrote, "This is something usually said into a hidden camera."

Clarke led 65 of her leftist colleagues in penning a letter in June to the Biden administration to provide "immediate relief and protection" for illegal aliens, specifically black people.

"Ours is a nation of immigrants, and diversity will always be our country's strength. Our willingness to accept newcomers into our nation is a key component of our global influence and soft power," said the letter.

While initially, it seemed Clarke was referring to American soft power, her recent admission about the political value of illegal aliens appears to indicate she meant her own.

'Coward': Schumer boasts that he refused to debate Tucker Carlson — but Tucker gets the last laugh



Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer boasted Tuesday that he declined a request from Fox News host Tucker Carlson to debate a letter the New York Democrat sent top Fox News executives.

What happened?

On Tuesday, Schumer sent a letter to Fox leadership demanding the network "immediately cease the reckless amplification of the so-called 'Great Replacement' theory."

Schumer claimed the white supremacist conspiracy theory "has been injected into the mainstream" of American discourse because of "a dangerous level of amplification" by Fox News. Schumer did not cite any evidence to corroborate his claims. In fact, he only pointed to an Associated Press poll and a New York Times investigative story on Carlson.

Still, Schumer told Fox leadership, "I implore you to immediately cease all dissemination of false white nationalist, far-right conspiracy theories on your network."

In a letter to Rupert and Lachlan Murdoch, Fox CEO Suzanne Scott, and Fox president Jay Wallace, Chuck Schumer says he urges Fox News to "immediately cease the reckless amplification of the so-called 'Great Replacement\u2019 theory\u2026"pic.twitter.com/9FbUYrMtBi

After Schumer sent his letter and railed against Fox News on the Senate floor, Carlson's team reached out to him and invited him to debate the letter on Carlson's nightly show. But, for reasons unknown, Schumer declined the invitation.

".@TuckerCarlson invited me on his show tonight to debate the letter I sent to @FoxNews. I'm declining. Tucker Carlson needs to stop promoting the racist, dangerous ‘Replacement Theory’," Schumer boasted.

.@TuckerCarlson invited me on his show tonight to debate the letter I sent to @FoxNews.\n\nI'm declining. Tucker Carlson needs to stop promoting the racist, dangerous \u2018Replacement Theory\u2019.
— Chuck Schumer (@Chuck Schumer) 1652810316

What was the reaction?

While Schumer's stance may have won him brownie points within his tribe, the decision to reject Carlson's invitation left many others scratching their heads.

After all, if Carlson is promoting racism and Schumer is on the "right side" of the issue, why would he refuse the opportunity to enlighten Carlson and his more than 3 million nightly viewers?

  • "Why would you be afraid to debate Carlson if you really believe you have the facts, politics and morality on your side?Oh wait," one person said.
  • "Nothing says 'I have courage in my convictions' quite like refusing to discuss them publicly," one person mocked.
  • "okay…..but you understand that he is not going to stop, right? So basically you had the perfect opportunity to go give his crowd an alternate viewpoint and said no for literally no reason. Am I missing anything?" another person said.
  • "I don't agree with either you or Tucker on everything, but it would be better if you went on and talked in good faith," one person observed.
  • "So you’re bragging about making accusations but being unwilling (afraid) to explain or defend them? I think we all know why," another person observed.
  • "So you turned down the opportunity to talk to 3.5 million Americans? Well you really showed them. That'll teach them," another person mocked.
  • "If @TuckerCarlson is as disgusting as you claim, why would you turn down the chance to prove him wrong in front of millions of his viewers?Oh, because you know you’re full of crap? Got it," another person reacted.
  • "Given the chance to confront the person Dems believe to be so dangerous, they opt instead to tweet and send letters. Profiles in courage," another person mocked.
  • "Isn't debating someone you disagree with the best way to sort out the issue?How does silencing the other side or refusing to engage help anyone? Seems very counterproductive," one person observed.

Carlson responded to Schumer on his show Tuesday evening, calling him a "coward," and quipped of Schumer's ego, "This is the only media appearance probably in history he's turned down."

Tucker Carlson fires back at politicians exploiting Buffalo massacre to score political points: 'No behavior worse than this'



Fox News host Tucker Carlson slammed politicians on Monday who are exploiting the tragic Buffalo mass killing, which left 10 people dead, to score political points.

What is the background?

After an alleged white supremacist opened fire in a Buffalo supermarket, purportedly targeting only black people, Democrats, progressives, and the mainstream media began blaming Carlson and Republicans for the massacre. They claimed Carlson, for example, pushes white supremacist rhetoric on his TV show, including the so-called "white replacement theory."

These are just a few examples:

  • The New York Times: "No public figure has promoted replacement theory more loudly or relentlessly than the Fox host Tucker Carlson ..."
  • Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.): "Tucker Carlson is many things — but he’s not stupid. When he pushes racist conspiracies like 'the great replacement,' he knows the risks. He knows some view his vile hate as a call to arms. The problem is Tucker just doesn’t give a damn about anyone but himself."
  • Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer: "It's not enough for outlets like Fox News and hosts like Tucker Carlson to just condemn Saturday’s violence and the shooter’s racist views — then return to regularly-scheduled programming. They need to stop spreading dangerous racist lies like replacement theory on their shows."
  • Actor Rob Reiner: "The racist massacre in Buffalo rest at the feet of Donald Trump, Tucker Carlson, and the GOP. There are not fine people on both sides."
  • Writer Jonathan Chait: "Yes, Tucker Carlson Shares Blame for the Buffalo Supermarket Attack"

What did Carlson say?

During the opening monologue of his show, Carlson observed how politicians quickly blamed their political opponents for the massacre before many of the victims, let alone the details, were known.

"Within minutes of Saturday's shooting, before all of the bodies of those 10 murdered Americans had even been identified by their loved ones, professional Democrats had begun a coordinated campaign to blame those murders on their political opponents," Carlson noted.

Later, Carlson explicitly condemned "race politics," something that his critics may find surprising.

Reacting to President Joe Biden's planned speech in Buffalo, in which he is expected to blast the Republican Party as an "existential threat" to American democracy, Carlson commented that Biden will be using "racial wounds" to make his political case.

"There is no behavior worse than this. All race politics is bad, no matter what flavor those politics happen to be. No race politics is better than any other. All of it is poison," he explained.

"Race politics subsumes the individual into the group. It erases people. It dehumanizes them. Race politics elevates appearance over initiative and decency and all the other God-given qualities that make every person of every color unique yet morally equal to every other person," Carlson continued. "And above all, race politics always makes us hate each other and always in a very predictable way."

The Fox News host then advocated for treating "people as human beings created by God rather than as faceless members of interest groups that might benefit some political party or other."

"We have a moral duty to do this because all people have equal moral value, no matter what they look like. All lives matter, period," he declared. "That's not the determination of the U.S. government. That's the determination of God, and it's true, and most Americans already believe it."

Anything else?

There is a significant difference between Carlson's rhetoric, which focuses on the political implications of demographic shifts, and blaming a cabal of Jews for orchestrating the replacement of white people in America, the conspiracy theory that the Buffalo killer ascribed to, according to his 180-page screed.

In fact, shifting demographic winds and their political implications have long been acknowledged by Democrats and Republicans.

For example, the liberal Center for American Progress openly advocated for giving immigrants a pathway to citizenship to shore up future "electoral strength," i.e. Democratic power. The think tank said in 2013, "Supporting real immigration reform that contains a pathway to citizenship for our nation's 11 million undocumented immigrants is the only way to maintain electoral strength in the future."

Texas, meanwhile, has been targeted by Democrats for two decades over what they believe are the positive electoral implications of a dwindling white population and growing Hispanic population in the Lone Star State (see examples here, here, and here).

The truth is that Republicans have long accused Democrats of supporting lenient immigration laws, alleging Democrats believe that immigrants are guaranteed to support them. At the same time, Democrats regularly boast that shifting demographics will solidify for them future election victories

The current liberal disinfo campaign is to make you think that talking about immigration and its demographic impact on the electorate \u2014 something liberals have enthusiastically done for decades \u2014 is now an off-limits conspiracy theory & anyone who engages in it should be censored

Seth Meyers blames Tucker Carlson for inspiring Buffalo massacre — but Megyn Kelly issues blistering rebuke over politicizing the tragedy



Late-night TV host Seth Meyers unloaded on Fox News' Tucker Carlson on Monday night, saying that the conservative TV host helped to inspire the horrific massacre that took the lives of at least 10 people at a Buffalo, New York, supermarket on Saturday.

Meyers made the remarks on the same day that broadcaster Megyn Kelly hit out at media figures attempting to politicize the tragedy.

What are the details?

Meyers addressed the mass killing during Monday night's "Late Night with Seth Meyers," saying that he believed that Carlson was complicit in helping spread a conspiracy theory known as the Great Replacement.

NPR defines the theory as stating "that non-white individuals are being brought into the United States and other Western countries to 'replace' white voters to achieve a political agenda."

“With prominent figures on the right embracing and parroting the dangerous white nationalist conspiracy theory known as the Great Replacement, it’s worth noting that in addition to being deeply racist, bigoted, and dehumanizing, it’s also incredibly stupid,” Meyers said during a Monday night segment.

He accused Carlson of being guilty of downplaying right-wing domestic terrorism. In 2019, Carlson addressed white supremacy terrorism as small-scale and said that the movement's "combined membership of every white supremacist organization in this country would be able to fit inside a college football stadium."

Meyers zeroed in on those remarks during the segment, saying, “First of all, a college football stadium can fit like 100,000 people, which is a ton of people! If I told you, ‘Don’t worry, I rounded up all the white supremacists' and walked you into here, I don’t think your reaction would be, ‘Phew!’”

He added that Carlson has "openly and repeatedly promoted replacement theory on his show.”

“No one is being replaced. There’s no capacity limit here," he said. "It’s not like there’s a bouncer who only lets two in when two leave. Just think about how breathtakingly dumb the logic here is. No one gets replaced when another person enters the country.”

What else?

During Monday's episode of "The Megyn Kelly Show," Kelly said that those people trying to politicize the shooting are contributing to division.

“We will not be naming the shooter on this program, consistent with our policy of not naming mass shooters, who in part are out for infamy, and we decline to help," she said during the broadcast. "He’s pleaded not guilty, but he also left behind a trove of information, including a 180-page manifesto filled with racist and anti-Semitic commentary. The shooter was white. Detailing how and why he picked his target.”

She added that media talking heads who tried to blame Carlson and other conservatives for the shooting are "outrageous."

“Some in the media have been quick to point fingers and even place blame on our friend and very popular Fox News host, Tucker Carlson," she pointed out. "It’s outrageous. It’s wrong, both factually and morally."

Becoming further outraged, Kelly added, "Why do we have to go to that place immediately on these stories? Why can’t we spend two f***ing minutes mourning the people who are dead and trying to understand that we have insane people in this country? We have lunatics. It’s a huge country!”

Kelly pointed out that there's no way to eradicate the "lunatics" from the country, and attempting to politicize such a horrific tragedy will only further divide Americans.

"People have to inject their politics into everything. And this guy had a racist manifesto. There’s no question that doesn’t make it Tucker Carlson’s fault," she insisted. "Just stop it. Just stop it!”
