EXCLUSIVE — AUSTIN, Texas — The Republican-led states of Arizona and Texas have dispatched dozens of buses carrying migrants from border towns to Washington, D.C., state officials told the Washington Examiner.
More than 2,500 people who were released from Border Patrol custody after illegally crossing from Mexico have opted to take 79 free, state-provided buses to the nation’s capital under initiatives rolled out by governors of each state, spokespeople exclusively shared Tuesday.
“These people are wanting to go somewhere else. They’re not wanting to stay in Arizona,” said Morgan Carr, spokeswoman for Gov. Doug Ducey (R‑AZ). “From what we’re seeing, they’re all primarily [headed to] the East Coast.”

FED Poised for Biggest Hike in 28 Years

Investors have sharply raised their expectations that the Federal Reserve will on Wednesday deliver the biggest single interest rate hike in 28 years amid red-hot inflation and a turbulent selloff across world markets.Just last week, markets gave an 8.2 percent probability that the Fed would raise the benchmark federal funds rate by three-quarters of a percentage point at its June meeting, with 91.8 percent predicting a half a percentage point boost, according to CME Group’s Fed Watch tool.
But the expectation landscape for the scale of the Fed’s rate move has dramatically shifted, spurred by a violent selloff in risk assets and a sharp rise in bond yields following last week’s consumer price inflation data that showed inflationary pressures accelerating.
Investor bets as reflected in the Fed Watch tool are now showing zero probability for a 50 basis point hike and a whopping 95.6 percent probability of a 75 basis point increase when Fed Chair Jerome Powell announces the central bank’s rate decision later on Wednesday.
A rate hike of 0 …

Biden Tells Oil Companies to Boost Supply

 FOX Business host Charles Payne slams President Joe Biden over his oil policies and provides insight on the stock market on ‘Making Money with Charles Payne.’ President Biden may resort to using emergency powers if American oil companies don’t increase output at their refineries, the president told oil CEOs in a series of letters Wednesday. Biden’s statement blames oil companies for running “historically high profit margins” even as Americans experience surging gas prices. Biden has recently faced criticism for a lack of executive action aimed at curbing inflation.“There is no question that Vladimir Putin is principally responsible for the intense financial pain the American people and their families are bearing,” Biden wrote. “But amid a war that has raised gasoline prices more than $1.70 per gallon, historically high refinery profit margins are worsening that pain.” President Biden delivers remarks aboard the Battleship USS Iowa Museum at the Port of Los Angeles on June 10, 2022, in Los Angeles. (Mario Tama/Getty Images / Getty Images) “Your companies and others have an opportunity to take immediate actions to increase the supply of gasoline, diesel and other refined product you are producing,” he continued. “My administration is prepared to use all reaso …

Nancy Mace (R‑S.C.) defeated challenger Katie Arrington in the South Carolina 1st Congressional District Republican primary on June 14.With 95 percent of the votes reported at 11:17 p.m. ET, Mace received 53.06 percent of the vote followed by Arrington at 45.18 percent, according to Decision Desk HQ.
It was a race that featured an incumbent who was endorsed by President Donald Trump in 2020 and a former state representative who secured his stamp of approval this year.
Mace maintained a lead late into the evening, but results from Arrington stronghold Beaufort County had not arrived, giving the challenger hope. Mace ultimately prevailed in Beaufort County with 52.09 percent compared to Arrington’s 45.97 percent with 91 percent of the vote counted.
Mace unseated incumbent Democrat Joe Cunningham in 2020, bolstered by Trump’s support.

GOP Probes Hunter’s Connection to Hollywood Lawyer

The ranking member of the House’s principal oversight committee has launched a probe into a Hollywood lawyer’s “sudden patronage” of Hunter Biden allegedly involving financial and pro-bono legal support.“We are investigating the domestic and international business dealings of President Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, to determine whether these activities compromise U.S. national security and President Biden’s ability to lead with impartiality,” Rep. James Comer (R‑Ky.), ranking member of the House Committee on Oversight and Reform, wrote to Hollywood attorney Kevin Morris on behalf of the House Committee on Oversight and Reform in a letter dated June 14.
“Your sudden patronage of the President’s son, enormous financial contributions to President Biden, and outsized role you are taking in defending against both congressional and criminal investigations raise serious concerns about whether you are providing in-kind contributions to President Biden’s re-election efforts,” Comer wrote.
Morris is known for negotiating a $550 million licensing deal for the creators of “South Park” and has won a Tony award as a co-producer of the Broad …

Major Update on SCOTUS’ Highly-Anticipated Roe v. Wade Decision

The U.S. Supreme Court (SCOTUS) didn’t issue a ruling on overturning Roe V. Wade as anticipated on Monday which isn’t all that surprising considering the complete lack of justice for Americans in the United States over the past 15+ years- at the hands of soft, weak, greedy and lazy public servants.

The justices have extended the wait for justice – for a future day…CONTINUE READING»>

Wuhan Lab & Monkeypox

Researchers from the Wuhan Institute of Virology isolated new strains of a virus that is “closely related” to Monkeypox in a recently published study.

The unearthed paper follows The National Pulse unearthing another study published by the controversial Chinese lab that detailed the assembly of new monkeypox virus strains in February 2022. The work came just months before the latest international outbreak of monkeypox cases which appear to have now reached the United States.
Eleven researchers from the Wuhan Institute of Virology authored the newly uncovered paper “Identification, Isolation, and Characterization of an Ectromelia Virus New Strain from an Experimental Mouse,” originally published on July 21st, 2020. It was later included in the Wuhan Institute of Virology’s scientific journal Virologica Sinica in 2021.
The study describes the “isolation” of a new strain of Ectromelia Virus (ECTV) – “ECTV-WH” – from an experimental mouse brain. The strain was flagged as potentially having “higher replication efficiency in vivo and higher transmitting efficiency to cause respiratory infection in mice.”
The Wuhan Institute of Virology researchers also warn that ECTV is highly similar to Monkeypox:
“ECTV is closely related to Variola virus, the causative agent of smallpox, and Monkeypox virus, the causative agent of a severe zoonosis. It is an attractive virus model for study of poxvirus pathogenesis, viral immune and inflammatory responses, and could be us …

But 62% of of Americans have expressed a desire to relocate to a new country, according to a new report from CNBC on Saturday. And people near Mexico’s border with the U.S. have noticed.

“I would say at least half are coming down from California,” Darrell Graham of Baja123 Real Estate Group said about real estate trends he has seen.

“Suddenly the cost of taxes, the crime rates, the politics, all the things that people are unhappy with in California are are coming down to Mexico.”

California is the second most expensive state to live in after Hawaii, according to Credit Karma.

The median price of a home in California is about $797,470, which only a quarter of the state’s households could afford in Q4 2021 …
