(WND)—It’s been several years since Joe Biden took office and effectively opened America’s southern border to tens of thousands of illegal aliens to arrive daily.
Millions have flooded into border states since then and officials there repeatedly have called on Biden to close the door, halting the flow, as President Donald Trump had done largely with policies and fencing.
But now, after thousands of those aliens have been moved from border states to longtime sanctuary locations like New York City, one aide to Mayor Eric Adams has become an activist on the issue.
Insisting that Biden shut off the stream.
A report at the Gothamist explains Ingrid Lewis-Martin, Adams’ senior adviser, said, “We need the federal government, the Congress members, the Senate and the president to do its job: close the borders.”
She said, “And until you close the borders, you need to come up with a full-on decompression strategy where you can take all of our migrants and move them throughout all of our 50 states.”
The charges mark “an escalation in the rhetoric” from New York City officials on the migrant crisis. Officials there estimated more than 116,000 have arrived in New York City since April 2022.
Conservatives in Congress already have made the same claim multiple times. Specifically they’ve asked for a return of Trump’s “remain in Mexico policy” that kept, until it was canceled by Biden, asylum-seekers from entering the country until their cases were processed in court.
The aide’s comments also came just as New York’s lawyers are challenging a longstanding right-to-shelter law, and contended the city “should not have to shelter all of these immigrants.”
Estimates are that the city last year spent some $2 billion to care for the newcomers.
Fabien Levy, the city’s deputy mayor for communications, later posted on social media a response: “To be very clear, and as @NYCMayor has said over and over again, of course this nation should continue to welcome immigrants — both those seeking asylum and those who are not. The U.S. will always do its part to be a country that takes in those seeking refuge from war, discrimination, & strife. But as we’ve stated repeatedly, we need a real decompression strategy at the border so that all communities across the U.S. can do their part in providing the compassion & care NYC has provided to more than 118,000 asylum seekers since last year.”

Starting the Day With a Scripture-Inspired Roast Helps Center Your Thoughts on Eternal Truths Amid Temporal Pressures
The world can seem chaotic, especially right after we wake up. Many believers start their mornings reaching for something familiar — a hot cup of coffee — yet end up settling for mediocre brews that do little more than deliver a caffeine jolt. The daily grind of life, with its endless distractions, news cycles, and responsibilities, can leave even the most faithful feeling spiritually parched alongside their physical fatigue. What if your morning ritual could do more than wake you up? What if it could ground you in truth, nourish your body with exceptional quality, and quietly advance a kingdom purpose at the same time?
That’s the promise — and the reality — behind Promised Grounds Coffee. This Christian-founded company doesn’t just roast beans; it approaches every step as an act of worship and discipleship. By selecting only the top 10% of specialty-grade beans, ethically sourced from dedicated farmers in Central and South America, and small-batch roasting them with reverence in Austin, Texas, Promised Grounds delivers what many describe as the best coffee available — never burnt, never bland, but rich with origin stories and layered flavors that honor God’s creation.
From the vibrant Psalm 27 Roast (a light, bright medium option) to the bold yet peaceful 2 Timothy 1:7 Decaf, each bag carries a Scripture verse that turns your daily pour into a gentle reminder of faith. And through their Ounce Per Ounce Promise, every ounce of coffee you enjoy provides an equal ounce of clean water to families in need via partnership with Filter of Hope — literally brewing hope for body and soul, one cup at a time.
The challenge for today’s Christians runs deeper than finding a decent cup. In an age of convenience-driven consumerism, it’s easy to support companies that dilute values or remain silent on matters of faith. Many believers want their everyday choices — from what they drink to how they spend — to reflect discipleship rather than just convenience. Promised Grounds solves this by weaving Christian excellence into the entire process: beans nurtured with prayerful stewardship by farming families, roasted as an offering rather than a commodity, and packaged with Bible verses to encourage a mindset of gratitude and purpose from the first sip. Reviewers consistently praise the smooth, rich profiles — whether enjoyed black in a drip maker, iced on a warm day, or shared in fellowship — noting how the quality stands toe-to-toe with premium secular brands while delivering something far more meaningful.
This integration of faith and flavor addresses a real need in Christian households and ministries. Busy parents, church leaders, and remote workers alike report that starting the day with a Scripture-inspired roast helps center their thoughts on eternal truths amid temporal pressures. The coffee’s exceptional character — bright citrus notes in lighter roasts or deep chocolate undertones in bolder ones — comes from meticulous selection and careful roasting that respects the bean’s natural gifts rather than masking them. It’s the kind of coffee that elevates a simple quiet time, fuels productive workdays, or sparks meaningful conversations when shared at Bible studies or outreach events. And because it’s ethically sourced with integrity, every purchase supports sustainable livelihoods for farmers who treat their crops like family harvests.
For those leading churches or small groups, the impact multiplies. Promised Grounds offers bundles and options perfect for hospitality ministries, turning ordinary coffee service into an opportunity to point people toward the living water of Christ. Imagine greeting visitors with a warm cup whose very bag carries God’s Word — a subtle yet powerful witness that aligns with the Great Commission. The company’s Texas roots and commitment to “brewing hope” resonate especially with believers who value American enterprise paired with global compassion.
Of course, quality alone isn’t enough if the experience feels out of reach. Promised Grounds keeps it accessible with practical perks like free shipping on orders over $40, sample sets for discovering favorites, and thoughtful add-ons such as faith-themed mugs. Whether you prefer whole beans for fresh grinding, grounds for convenience, or even bulk options for larger households and ministries, the result is consistently superior coffee that makes discipleship feel integrated rather than added on.
As you consider how to align even the smallest habits with your walk with God, Promised Grounds Coffee stands out as a refreshing solution. It tackles the dual problems of subpar daily sustenance and disconnected consumption by offering a product that genuinely excels in taste while advancing a mission of clean water, farmer dignity, and scriptural encouragement. Believers who make the switch often describe it as more than a beverage upgrade — it becomes part of their rhythm of gratitude, a daily invitation to remember that every good gift comes from above.
If you’re ready to transform your mornings (and perhaps your church gatherings) with coffee that honors both exceptional craftsmanship and Christian values, I encourage you to explore what Promised Grounds has to offer. One sip at a time, you’ll be nourishing your body, refreshing your spirit, and participating in something far greater — all while enjoying what truly is among the best coffee available.
I used to donate to two outfits I thought highly of — not anymore as they both have become too banal; one of them was Judicial Watch!
In their latest donor mailing, they are warning of ILLEGALS voting — THAT is the least of our worries and that suggestion infuriates me in its abject ignorance: (1) the CISA Act of 2018, signed by Trump, has that sown up, so illegals voting is ARBITRARY; (2) they are coming to kill us, rape the women and steal and steal and steal; (3) the plan is to bring in 100 million ILLEGALS by or before 2030 —— when is that not going to become OBVIOUS to all the rubes?????
ARPA and TACRE — wish people would learn to READ!! TACRE is designed to disburse federal funds to the state level, which are then directed to ILLEGALS; vice chairperson of TACRE (within the Treasury) is Felicia Wong, who was the financial point person at the Democracy Alliance, the Soros/Steyer funded outfit which picked up and continued payments for the Russiagate Hoax; initial payments came from the Hillary Clinton campaign, but the bulk of the funding came from George Soros, George Soros, George Soros (helps to repeat the crucial facts)!
Listening to the pathetic rubes whine about “illegal voters” was even worse than when they supported that easily duped crackhead, Mike Lindell, falling all over his ignorant self in adhering to CIA assets Mary Fanning/Dennis Montgomery and their PCAPs, PCAPs, PCAPs and calling the pinging of sites “hacking” them!?
If there are any genuine populist conservatives in America, they keep themselves pretty well hidden —- everyone I have spoken to these past few years have been “useful idiots”!
Who oversees “election authority, census and national security events” ??? CISA! Who signed that into law, President Trump when he signed the CISA Act of 2018! Who implemented DEI at the Pentagon and military, restructuring them as COMMUNIST organizations? Mark Esper, as Trump’s SecDef!
Who was toooo terrified of the Deep State to pardon the great patriot, Abraham Bolden? President Trump — and pardoning former Secret Service Agent Bolden blows the false narratives of the JFK assassination WIDE OPEN —— must not have that, must follow preppie Swanson heir, Tucker Carlson, who assures us “tell all” files remain hidden within the CIA’s dank filerooms, explaining everything about the JFK assassination —— only the Secret Service, NSA and FBI were sagacious enough to destroy their files — CIA will never figure out “file destruction”?!?!
What does this WND article tell us???
Zero, zilch, nada!
What information is conveyed by this political theater article from WND?
Nothing, nothing, nothing!
What is the purpose of WND??? Ya got me, bubba?!
