Editor’s Commentary: Sometimes a headline comes across my desk that is so obvious, I pass because I assume everyone already knows about it. I have to remind myself that most Americans are not paying attention, and even when they are they’re getting their news from corporate media. In other words, they’re not getting the news at all, just the talking points supplied to them by the globalist elites and their proxies in the Democrat Party.
This article by Roy Green over at Natural News highlights two realities that more Americans need to know. First, the invasion at our southern border is horrible but the end results are far worse than they could be because the Biden-Harris regime is letting illegal aliens in but not making them leave. When CBP officials say they’re only removing a fraction, what they really mean is they’re barely removing anyone at all. The second reality is that under President Trump’s policies, illegal aliens were removed in far greater numbers. Some point to Obama having higher deportation numbers, but they forget that the “Remain in Mexico” policy that kept asylum seekers on the southern side of the border did not contribute to deportation statistics.
With that said, here’s the article by Roy Green…
President Joe Biden has turned the United States into a haven for illegal aliens.
Under his administration, a record number of immigrants have entered the country illegally, mostly by way of the southern border. In the same manner, the fewest number of illegals were sent back home. Naturally, these aliens have swelled to alarming proportions, causing a big drain on the country’s economy and further spiking inflation.
Further, their sustained growth is alarming. According to Statista, there were 11.39 million illegals in the U.S. in 2018. It ballooned to 15.5 million last year based on Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) data.
These figures are hardly surprising, considering the policies favoring the aliens laid out by Biden since he took the helm on Jan. 20, 2021. Biden junked former President Donald Trump’s policies designed to keep the illegals out, including stopping the construction of the border wall.
Now, the implications of what Biden has done are being unraveled, even by his own people.
Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody pointed to the recent testimony of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Enforcement and Removal Operations Executive Director Corey Price as evidence that the Biden administration is intentionally under-enforcing federal immigration law in a way that has never been seen. (Related: Biden orders ICE to stop deporting illegal alien sex offenders.)
The Biden administration’s officials are “flagrantly violating the very federal laws they swore to uphold,” said Moody, citing as an example Price’s testimony on Sept. 9, during the deposition process of Moody’s lawsuit against Biden’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and other border authorities. A video of Florida Chief Deputy Attorney General John Guard questioning Price was aired by Fox News.
Fox News also presented data showing that “from 2008 through 2016, ICE removed about 400,000 illegal immigrants, and never less than 230,000 per year. However, in 2021, under Biden, they had only deported 55,598.”
In comparison, under Trump’s watch in 2020, a total of 236,151 were removed from the DHS and 167,327 were returned, according to Statista. To make the distinction clear, removals are the compulsory movement of an inadmissible alien out of the U.S. by court order, while returns are the movement of a deportable alien out of the U.S. without an order.
According to Price, “border authorities had detained only about 40 percent of the illegal immigrants in 2021 than they did in 2019 under the Trump administration.”
Moody told Fox News: “Our deposition provides even more proof that the Bid
Biden purposely failing to enforce the law, detain inadmissible immigrants
en administration is intentionally under-enforcing federal immigration law in a way that has never been seen. At every phase of the process, Biden is purposely failing to enforce the law and detain and remove inadmissible immigrants.”
No wonder, FAIR estimates that about 4.9 million aliens have invaded the country in 18 months under the Biden administration with many of them already integrating into communities.
The ICE officials tried to dissuade the government from implementing their “reckless policies” but their advice went unheeded, bared Moody. That’s why she’s pointing at Biden as the culprit behind “the border crisis and the surge in American deaths from Mexican fentanyl.”
The mention of fentanyl is significant because the synthetic opioid is now the leading cause of death for American adults between the ages of 18 and 45. Also, fentanyl got smuggled in through the border, between 2020 and 2021, nearly 79,000 people died of fentanyl overdoses, according to data from Families Against Fentanyl.

Last year, the U.S. Border Patrol reported a total of 1,662,167 apprehensions, less than the 1.68 million reported in 2020, meaning tens of thousands of illegals were able to make their way through with thousands more trying their luck daily. On Sept. 24 alone, there were nearly 6,000 apprehensions, according to Statista.
The case of Price wasn’t the first evidence of Biden’s negligence or incompetence in handling the border crisis. In July, Moody tweeted the deposition of U.S. Border Patrol Chief Raul Ortiz.
“After the Biden administration denied that they were engaged in catch-and-release, and that they were responsible for the historic surge at our southern border, Florida got the Chief of Border Patrol to admit, under oath, the truth,” said Moody. “The Biden administration caused the surge, made the border less safe, and is flagrantly violating the very federal laws they swore to uphold.”
No surprise there. Biden has flouted the law and committed blunders since Day 1 of his term. From unconstitutional vaccine mandates, spiking inflation and the exodus of illegal aliens, Biden just couldn’t get it done right.

Five Things New “Preppers” Forget When Getting Ready for Bad Times Ahead
The preparedness community is growing faster than it has in decades. Even during peak times such as Y2K, the economic downturn of 2008, and Covid, the vast majority of Americans made sure they had plenty of toilet paper but didn’t really stockpile anything else.
Things have changed. There’s a growing anxiety in this presidential election year that has prompted more Americans to get prepared for crazy events in the future. Some of it is being driven by fearmongers, but there are valid concerns with the economy, food supply, pharmaceuticals, the energy grid, and mass rioting that have pushed average Americans into “prepper” mode.
There are degrees of preparedness. One does not have to be a full-blown “doomsday prepper” living off-grid in a secure Montana bunker in order to be ahead of the curve. In many ways, preparedness isn’t about being able to perfectly handle every conceivable situation. It’s about being less dependent on government for as long as possible. Those who have proper “preps” will not be waiting for FEMA to distribute emergency supplies to the desperate masses.
Below are five things people new to preparedness (and sometimes even those with experience) often forget as they get ready. All five are common sense notions that do not rely on doomsday in order to be useful. It may be nice to own a tank during the apocalypse but there’s not much you can do with it until things get really crazy. The recommendations below can have places in the lives of average Americans whether doomsday comes or not.

Secured Wealth
Whether in the bank or held in a retirement account, most Americans feel that their life’s savings is relatively secure. At least they did until the last couple of years when de-banking, geopolitical turmoil, and the threat of Central Bank Digital Currencies reared their ugly heads.
It behooves Americans to diversify their holdings. If there’s a triggering event or series of events that cripple the financial systems or devalue the U.S. Dollar, wealth can evaporate quickly. To hedge against potential turmoil, many Americans are looking in two directions: Crypto and physical precious metals.
There are huge advantages to cryptocurrencies, but there are also inherent risks because “virtual” money can become challenging to spend. Add in the push by central banks and governments to regulate or even replace cryptocurrencies with their own versions they control and the risks amplify. There’s nothing wrong with cryptocurrencies today but things can change rapidly.
As for physical precious metals, many Americans pay cash to keep plenty on hand in their safe. Rolling over or transferring retirement accounts into self-directed IRAs is also a popular option, but there are caveats. It can often take weeks or even months to get the gold and silver shipped if the owner chooses to close their account. This is why Genesis Gold Group stands out. Their relationship with the depositories allows for rapid closure and shipping, often in less than 10 days from the time the account holder makes their move. This can come in handy if things appear to be heading south.
Lots of Potable Water
One of the biggest shocks that hit new preppers is understanding how much potable water they need in order to survive. Experts claim one gallon of water per person per day is necessary. Even the most conservative estimates put it at over half-a-gallon. That means that for a family of four, they’ll need around 120 gallons of water to survive for a month if the taps turn off and the stores empty out.
Being near a fresh water source, whether it’s a river, lake, or well, is a best practice among experienced preppers. It’s necessary to have a water filter as well, even if the taps are still working. Many refuse to drink tap water even when there is no emergency. Berkey was our previous favorite but they’re under attack from regulators so the Alexapure systems are solid replacements.
For those in the city or away from fresh water sources, storage is the best option. This can be challenging because proper water storage containers take up a lot of room and are difficult to move if the need arises. For “bug in” situations, having a larger container that stores hundreds or even thousands of gallons is better than stacking 1-5 gallon containers. Unfortunately, they won’t be easily transportable and they can cost a lot to install.
Water is critical. If chaos erupts and water infrastructure is compromised, having a large backup supply can be lifesaving.
Pharmaceuticals and Medical Supplies
There are multiple threats specific to the medical supply chain. With Chinese and Indian imports accounting for over 90% of pharmaceutical ingredients in the United States, deteriorating relations could make it impossible to get the medicines and antibiotics many of us need.
Stocking up many prescription medications can be hard. Doctors generally do not like to prescribe large batches of drugs even if they are shelf-stable for extended periods of time. It is a best practice to ask your doctor if they can prescribe a larger amount. Today, some are sympathetic to concerns about pharmacies running out or becoming inaccessible. Tell them your concerns. It’s worth a shot. The worst they can do is say no.
If your doctor is unwilling to help you stock up on medicines, then Jase Medical is a good alternative. Through telehealth, they can prescribe daily meds or antibiotics that are shipped to your door. As proponents of medical freedom, they empathize with those who want to have enough medical supplies on hand in case things go wrong.
Energy Sources
The vast majority of Americans are locked into the grid. This has proven to be a massive liability when the grid goes down. Unfortunately, there are no inexpensive remedies.
Those living off-grid had to either spend a lot of money or effort (or both) to get their alternative energy sources like solar set up. For those who do not want to go so far, it’s still a best practice to have backup power sources. Diesel generators and portable solar panels are the two most popular, and while they’re not inexpensive they are not out of reach of most Americans who are concerned about being without power for extended periods of time.
Natural gas is another necessity for many, but that’s far more challenging to replace. Having alternatives for heating and cooking that can be powered if gas and electric grids go down is important. Have a backup for items that require power such as manual can openers. If you’re stuck eating canned foods for a while and all you have is an electric opener, you’ll have problems.
Don’t Forget the Protein
When most think about “prepping,” they think about their food supply. More Americans are turning to gardening and homesteading as ways to produce their own food. Others are working with local farmers and ranchers to purchase directly from the sources. This is a good idea whether doomsday comes or not, but it’s particularly important if the food supply chain is broken.
Most grocery stores have about one to two weeks worth of food, as do most American households. Grocers rely heavily on truckers to receive their ongoing shipments. In a crisis, the current process can fail. It behooves Americans for multiple reasons to localize their food purchases as much as possible.
Long-term storage is another popular option. Canned foods, MREs, and freeze dried meals are selling out quickly even as prices rise. But one component that is conspicuously absent in shelf-stable food is high-quality protein. Most survival food companies offer low quality “protein buckets” or cans of meat, but they are often barely edible.
Prepper All-Naturals offers premium cuts of steak that have been cooked sous vide and freeze dried to give them a 25-year shelf life. They offer Ribeye, NY Strip, and Tenderloin among others.
Having buckets of beans and rice is a good start, but keeping a solid supply of high-quality protein isn’t just healthier. It can help a family maintain normalcy through crises.
Prepare Without Fear
With all the challenges we face as Americans today, it can be emotionally draining. Citizens are scared and there’s nothing irrational about their concerns. Being prepared and making lifestyle changes to secure necessities can go a long way toward overcoming the fears that plague us. We should hope and pray for the best but prepare for the worst. And if the worst does come, then knowing we did what we could to be ready for it will help us face those challenges with confidence.
