U.S. Sen. John Barrasso, R-Wyo., has voiced his support for President-elect Donald Trump should he choose, after he takes office, to use parts of the U.S. military to remove illegal aliens from the nation.

The senator said, "I support the president," when he specifically was asked about using the military to work on the massive deportation problem that is being left behind by the border mismanagement by Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.

"We have a national security crisis in this country right now because of our open border, and when he declares it a national emergency, he can appropriately use the military," the senator said in an interview with Fox News. "There are over 10 million illegal immigrants in the country right now.

"We are talking about drug dealers, people in criminal cartels. These are folks who have actually been murdering, raping, poisoning American citizens. When you take a look at the president's magnificent victory, the decisive victory, I think it's because people were scared about all of these people in the country illegally. People want to feel safe in their own homes," he said.

A report in the Daily Wire pointed out that, "Barrasso correctly noted that the overwhelming majority of the American public supports Trump conducting mass deportations."

The senator criticized those "big city mayors and governors" who want to run a "sanctuary" operation to defy federal law.

They, "unbelievably, are more concerned about the rights, the so called rights of illegal immigrants than they are about the safety of their own citizens," he cautioned.

Meanwhile, U.S. Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., says he supports Trump's plan for mass deportations, but not using the military for it, "because it's illegal."

"We've had a distrust of putting the army into our streets," he says, calling for deportations "through the normal process of domestic policing."

"I will not support and will not vote to use the military in our cities. I think it's a terrible image."

Kash Patel, the former Department of Defense chief of staff who is reportedly on President-elect Donald Trump's short list to be the next director of the FBI, is now sounding the alarm about the current time period before Trump is inaugurated, leaving Joe Biden and the Deep State in charge.

"Right now is, I think in my opinion, the most dangerous time, the sort of lame duck period where the president is not acting in the capability that needs to defend this nation," Patel told Maria Bartiromo on "Sunday Morning Futures" on the Fox News Channel.

"And what we need to do is have our leaders of the agencies and departments that were confirmed by the Senate show up and do their job and tell the Senate and the House of Representatives these are our failures, these are our weaknesses, we need help, we need you to respond the in this time of need. And those guys not showing up to the Hill and just deflecting their responsibility shows us how much more danger we're in," he continued.

"We know what President Trump's gonna do, but he's 54 days away from taking the oath of office. Right now, we need the United States of America to remind those agencies and department leaders that they work for us, and the mandate that President Trump was given was to protect our borders, to make sure CCP fentanyl doesn't kill our children, to the end the forever wars, to return our hostages, and make sure American global diplomacy is in great hands when President Trump is sent to the to Oval Office on January 20th. And we must respect the will and power of Congress, I cannot stress that enough.

"The constitutional oversight responsibilities of the United States House of Representatives and the Senate has been lost by the leaders of the Deep State in Washington, D.C., and I think President Trump is going to restore that with his selections and his nominees."

Bartiromo noted, "Unfortunately, the public has also lost trust in a number of these agencies."

She then asked Patel how he believes Americans "will regain trust in our most important law-enforcement agencies?"

"One thing: exposure of corruption," Patel replied. "Put out the documents, put out the evidence. We only have gotten half way down the Russiagate hole. The people need to know their FBI is restored by knowing full well what they did to unlawfully surveil them.

"The people need to know there's been a deweaponization, a defanging of the Department of Justice and their houses of worship will no longer be raided, but they need to be shown the documents that said this was the reasoning they weaponized justice.

"And that, in my opinion, is how Congress can most importantly secure the trust or resecure the trust of these agencies and departments. President Trump is taking a huge first step with his monumental victory.

"Now it's up to Congress and the Senate to work with his leaders at DOJ and FBI to put out those documents, and I think DOGE goes a long way in that. But we're going to need Cabinet secretaries who say we don't fear the corruption that preceded us. It will make us powerful if we expose it to the American public."

Colorado taxpayers are being stung with a $1.5 million bill they will have to pay for their leaders' anti-Christian ideology.

It's the settlement that the state is required to pay after losing its war – at the U.S. Supreme Court – on the Christian faith of artist Lorie Smith.

She runs her own design studio, 303 Creative, specializing in graphic and website design.

"She left the corporate design world to start her own small business in 2012 so she could use her skills to promote causes consistent with her beliefs and close to her heart, such as supporting children with disabilities, the beauty of marriage, overseas missions, animal shelters, and veterans," the ADF explained.

"She was excited to expand her portfolio to create websites that celebrate marriage between a man and a woman, but Colorado made clear she's not welcome in that space."

In fact, Colorado leftists imposed a law that would have required her to promote same-sex duos if she also did wedding site designs.

But that would violate her faith.

The law, in fact, was intended to censor what she wants to say and requires her to create designs that violate her beliefs about marriage, the legal team explained.

A New York trial court judge, Juan Merchan, has decided to allow President-elect Donald Trump's lawyers file a motion to dismiss Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's lawfare case against the former, and future, president.

The case is one of multiple legal wars launched against Trump by Democrats between his non-consecutive terms as president. They involved a wide range of allegations, some on shaky grounds at best, and most are in various stages of disappearing at this point.

It was Bragg who took claims of business reporting errors that would have been misdemeanors had they been brought before the statute of limitations expired. But Bragg claimed they were felonies because they were in pursuit of another, unnamed, crime, so Trump still could be charged. Then Merchan told the jury their verdict didn't have to be unanimous.

A leftist Manhattan jury returned guilty verdicts to 34 counts, and the case was awaiting a sentencing as a preliminary to an appeal.

Now, however, Fox News is reporting Merchan, whose daughter was working for Democrats, raising funds off of the decisions her father was making in the courtroom against Trump, has allowed Trump's lawyers to file a motion to dismiss the charges.

"Merchan said Trump attorneys have until December 2 to file their motion for dismissal. Merchan said Bragg has until December 9 to respond," the report explained.

The judge also agreed to hold off on any further action regarding sentencing, which had been scheduled for Nov. 26 but now is "adjourned."

Steven Cheung, the incoming communications director for Trump's second White House, told Fox News Digital the ruling is a "decisive win" for Trump.

"In a decisive win for President Trump, the hoax Manhattan Case is now fully stayed and sentencing is adjourned," Cheung said. "President Trump won a landslide victory as the American People have issued a mandate to return him to office and dispose of all remnants of the Witch Hunt cases."

The dismissal plan had been put before the judge by Todd Blanche, Trump defense lawyer and now nominee for deputy attorney general, who said, "On November 5, 2024, the Nation's People issued a mandate that supersedes the political motivations of DANY's 'People.' This case must be immediately dismissed."

Fox reported he cited the federal Constitution, the Presidential Transition Act of 1963, and the interests of justice to call for a dismissal of the case.

Bragg, meanwhile, has suggested putting the case on hold so that he could resurrect it years from now when Trump no longer is president, a move that would presume Bragg's own re-election.

Analysts suggested that Bragg actually wants the case to be looming over Trump for the duration of his presidency, which a trial judge's decision to hold off sentencing and keep the case alive could do.

Merchan last week ordered the cancelation of all deadlines in the case.

Election-fraud schemes that would target national votes wouldn't be expected to take aim at Wyoming.

It has only a handful of Electoral College votes and rarely are presidential elections decided by that small margin, although it is not impossible.

And it already bars noncitizens from voting in state elections, and even applies the "NR" designator to state IDs of noncitizens.

But now lawmakers are making an effort to ramp up security even more.

They want to add a line "Not A United States Citizen," to the face of any state ID belonging to a noncitizen.

The Cowboy State Daily explained, "The added emphasis delineating between citizens and noncitizens comes as President-elect Donald Trump has indicated removing immigrants illegally in the United States will be one of his top priorities."

Further, it pointed out that election integrity is becoming more and more of a focal point for debate.

"Secretary of State Chuck Gray spoke in support of the Wyoming proposal at last Friday's Joint Transportation, Highways and Military Affairs Committee meeting. He said the new IDs will help ensure voter security and assist Wyoming's county clerks in identifying non-residents who may be trying to vote," the report said.

Gray told listeners, "While we do have safeguards in place to ensure that only United States citizens are registering to vote, which is called a HAVA-check, there are a number of areas where there are weaknesses that can be exposed. That's why we need to continue to shore up this frontend monitoring, which I think this bill draft does."

Gray's concern is preventing noncitizens from registering to vote, as while it is not common for illegal aliens to vote, it has happened.

The report noted the County Clerks' Association of Wyoming also supports the plan that has been forwarded by the state Joint Transportation, Highways and Military Affairs Committee.

State Rep. Landon Brown, R-Cheyenne, co-chair of the committee, doesn't endorse the idea, pointing out a pending redesign of many state forms. But he believes it will pass.

The plan could go into effect in 2026, shortly before early voting opens for the elections that year.

A far-left talk show entertainer grimaced and frowned, but on the air she read a "legal note" explaining the truth about claims historically made against former U.S. Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., who has been nominated by President-elect Donald Trump to be the nation's attorney general.

The entertainer, Sunny Hostin of "The View," took over from another show entertainer, Whoopi Goldberg.

"I do have a legal note. Thank you, Whoopi," Hostin said on air. Then there was a long pause while, reports explain, she had "an unpleasant look on her face."

"Matt Gaetz has long denied all allegations, calling the claims, quote, 'invented,' and saying in a statement to ABC News that 'this false smear following a three-year criminal investigation should be viewed with great skepticism. The DOJ investigation was closed with no charges being brought."

The gossip that had engulfed the show's airtime had focused on previous claims made to, and dismissed by, the DOJ that Gaetz was involved with an underage girl.

One "View" entertainer claimed that investigators allegedly talked about how when Gaetz found out the girl was underage, he "stopped having sex with her."

The Washington Examiner explained the ABC show "mocked the selections (of Trump's cabinet nominations) and jokingly insinuated Trump's choices were based on vanity and aesthetics rather than legitimate qualifications."

The report explained, "Hostin's legal note comes as The View hosts have regularly made critical remarks about Trump's Cabinet choices, especially Gaetz, whom the president-elect nominated for attorney general. Meanwhile, Gaetz is embroiled in controversy surrounding serious allegations he had an inappropriate relationship with an underage woman."

A community of thousands of Haitians dumped on a small and unsuspecting Ohio town now, apparently, is leaving. At least some of them.

WND previously has reported that the controversy in Springfield, Ohio, developed as a result of the Joe Biden-Kamala Harris open borders program.

Business owner Tim Boggs said he's been trying to help Christians escaping from the persecution in Cuba obtain legal status in the United States. But federal immigration officials have delayed movement on the problems, for as long as two years, to help Haitians.

The tens of thousands of Haitians in Springfield are part of the more than 300,000 Haitians who have arrived in the U.S. illegally, under the Biden-Harris regime.

The Democrats have given the illegal aliens permission to stay and work.

The issue in Springfield exploded into the headlines when there were allegations that the migrants were snatching up geese, cats, dogs and other small pets, and there were charges the community members were using some for food. Witnesses affirmed the activity, while others said it couldn't happen.

ABC and CNN "fact checked" the claim that there had been a surge in Haitian migrants, deeming it "not a problem" – while Ohio's Gov. Mike DeWine has earmarked $2.5 million to expand primary care access to everyone who lives in Springfield, and is sending in state troopers to get on top of the car wrecks being caused by unlicensed Haitian migrants.

There also has been created a list of dangerous driving by Haitians.

Other reports have stated Haitians are practicing voodoo, which includes animal sacrifice, during religious ceremonies, giving some credence to rumors Haitian migrants have been snatching up pets.

Now the Guardian is reporting Margery Kovaleski has spent years helping Haitians in Springfield comply with government red tape to establish their lives there.

Now Koveleski – whose family is Haitian – has noticed a major change recently. Haitians are now coming to her to figure out how to leave, the report explained.

"Some folks don't have credit cards or access to the internet, and they want to buy a bus ticket or a plane ticket, so we help them book a flight," she explained in an interview with the Guardian.

"People are leaving."

Leaders of the community's Haitian population have suggested they are fleeing over fears of being rounded up and deported, based on President-elect Donald Trump's election victory.

"The owner of one store is wondering if he should move back to New York or to Chicago – he says his business is way down," Koveleski said in the report.

Trump, in fact, has promised a secured border and a crackdown on the millions of illegal aliens already in the United States, including a move to end the special permission given some through a temporary protected status scheme.

That is the plan under which many Haitians in the U.S., including those in Springfield, live and work.

"A sheriff in Sidney, a town 40 miles (64km) north-west of Springfield that is home to several dozen Haitian immigrants, allegedly told local police in September to 'get a hold of these people and arrest them,'" the report explained.

And Jacob Payen, who has been helping Springfield Haitians, said, "People are fully aware of the election result, and that is why they are leaving; they are afraid of a mass deportation."

He said he knows those who have gone to New Jersey, Boston and even Canada.

Some are considering temporary residences in Brazil, through which they traveled on the path to the U.S.

The report reveals that even as the controversy is raging in the U.S., Haiti is enduring a renewed level of violence from politically connected gangs.

Port closures, gunfire, including shots hitting American jetliners, and more have developed there.

Amid the agenda imposed on Americans under the Joe Biden-Kamala Harris administration of racist ideology, Critical Race Theory, diversity programs and such, one of the new creations was the Racial Equity Consciousness Institute at the University of Pittsburgh.

It was to fight racism by "understanding" the "complex and pervasive ways it operates" and then teach people about a "racial equity consciousness framework" by giving them "guides, videos, articles" and more.

The founder, Ron Idoko, formerly of the school's "Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion" office, has said is work is successful and that "he has received overwhelmingly positive feedback from hundreds of participants and has also seen behavioral changes firsthand."

But, according to a report from Judicial Watch, there's "no material evidence."

So the solution, like most solutions in higher education, is to have American taxpayers spend money, in this case $5 million, "to research the effectiveness" of the special center.

Center promoters say "it is essential because 'systemic racism is an endemic public health crisis in the United States that has a profoundly negative impact on the mental and physical health of millions of people—focally, people of color.'"

Then, too, RECI reports "racism is a 'social virus' that metastasizes through a web of systems that sustains a reinforcing preponderance of racial inequities across multiple sectors of society."

"The institute claims to teach individuals about the racial equity consciousness framework by using narrative guides, videos, articles, open discussion and collaborative activities. To develop racial equity consciousness the institute teaches how to recognize racial oppression and advance racial liberation, examine racial identities and address racial biases, embrace racial diversity, and grow racial literacy, build racial empathy, and enhance racial stamina, acknowledge racial trauma, and foster racial healing, and gauge racial inequities and champion racial justice," the Judicial Watch report explained.

"This helps recognize histories and impacts of racial inequity, embraces the inclusion of all racial identity groups, builds compassionate connections across racial differences, and acknowledges emotional, mental, and physical impacts of racial oppression, among other things."

It addresses "thoughts, feelings and behaviors" through what is called a "structured cognitive behavioral training," which apparently is a therapy that "is designed to help individuals and communities actively develop and embody distinct cognitive behavioral traits toward racial equity through structured learning and practice."

Its website explains every person newly "committed to antiracism" then becomes "a source of positive change that radiates out into the world."

Judicial Watch reported, "Sounds fantastic but there is no concrete evidence that it is working. The research funded by the [National Institutes of Health] will focus on identifying the effectiveness of RECI training as well as other bias drills on diversity and attitudes that perpetuate systemic racism in healthcare outcomes, especially among marginalized communities."

Among the tests to be used is Magnetic Resonance Imaging which "looks for structural brain changes before and after the program."

A war over the status of professional golf, specifically an alleged "monopoly" by the PGA in light of the appearance of industry newcomer LIV Golf, isn't over just yet, as a new case has been filed alleging fraud in the dismissal of the original antitrust action.

A circuit court in Miami-Dade County in Florida now has been asked to set aside the "fraud" that led to the "unlawful dismissals."

The new step has been taken by Larry Klayman, who has founded, in his career, both Judicial Watch and Freedom Watch, and is a former federal prosecutor and a former Republican candidate for Senate in Florida.

Racism has become a popular agenda in America in recent years: There's the ultimate racism of Critical Race Theory agendas being taught in some schools, which states that all America is racist and the solution is more racism.

The "diversity" and "equity" agenda likewise has racist overtones.

But the blatant racism in a state program in Tennessee apparently is too much, and has drawn a lawsuit.
