@GM Team Member NewYorkExpress, the explosions which occurred on 4/22, were caused by the Ocean Princess exploding, this explosions precipitated more explosions which caused the PEMEX refinery to explode! The bombs were planted by terrorists in the hold of the Belize-flagged container ship. These bombs were triggered  by a GPS Detonator as the ship moved through Houston Ship Channel. The FBI made subsequent arrests of the perps responsible for the explosions. These terrorists are now identified as having connections to North Korea Jihad,  and passed through the southern border in October, 2024. The Biden administration and those officials who were responsible for immigration policy and securing the southern border are going to take a political hit. Question is how big a hit!

[PRESIDENT STANTON]

On NBC's Meet the Press, Chuck Todd, quizzed Senator Mark Warner (D-VA), the Senate Minority Whip, about Chuck Schumer's hot mic moment, in which Schumer referred to the Border Security Bill, as being racist, and Warner didn't mince his words, "Senator Schumer, has to understand, that the issue of the poor security at the Southern border is no longer a matter of semantics, and he needs to offer an apology to those who have concerns on this matter, we can longer afford not to have a secure southern border, it's now a matter of an existential national security concern and one that the President is trying to address, on this he has my wholehearted support, and I urge my Democratic colleagues to get on board and support something that is a common sense solution"
Meanwhile on ABC's This Week, George Stephanopoulos, asked Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL), the co-author of the Rubio-Sinema Border Security Bill, tried to infer that one of the core foundations of the bill, was racism, Rubio flatly rejected Stephanopoulos's assertion, "I'm sorry George, what you are suggesting to me is, that it's racist to secure our southern border, when it's quite clear, and if you read the language in the bill, makes it clear to anyone with sense, that the bill's primary goal is to ensure that our southern border is secure, and it seems to me, that the left will resort to labelling anything or anyone as racist, they oppose...I think George, your reasons for claiming that this bill as racist, is the same reason that Chuck Schumer calls it racist. It's the big elephant in the room, and no one refers to it, but I will, the reason why the left opposes the bill, because it prevents vote harvesting activities, as well as registering illegal immigrants to vote in our elections, that's the main reason you oppose voter ID laws as well, because such laws would prevent wholesale cheating".
It was notable that Stephanopoulos didn't offer a rebuttal to Rubio's comments.

HOUSE REPEALS INFLATION REDUCTION ACT OF 2022; SENDS BILL TO THE SENATE
The United States House of Representatives today repealed the „Inflation Reduction Act of 2022“ on a largely Party Line Vote. It was a promise House Speaker Steve Scalise made last week to get conservatives onboard to support President DeSantis signature „Border Security & Protection Act of 2022“. After passage Scalise said he is under no illusion that Senate Republicans will likely make some Changes in the Inflation Act of 2022 before it gets sent back to the House.

SENATE MAJORITY LEADER CORNYN: WE HAVE THE VOTES TO PASS THE BORDER SECURITY & PROTECTION ACT AT THE MOMENT
During a Press Conference in the Capitol Press Room Senate Majority Leader John Cornyn (R-Texas) standing alongside Majority Whip John Thune (R-South Dakota) and Conference Chairwoman Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) said to Congressional Reporters „We have the Votes to pass the bipartisan Border Security and Protection Act for the moment“.

@2016, Border Security & Protection Act 2022? Shouldn't it be the Inflation Reduction Act 2022?

I have changed it . Sometimes you have to wait until I have completed the editing

Border Security & Protection Act 2022? It's 2025! In this TL! 😉

[PRESIDENT STANTON]

I wonder what beef Cynthia Lummis has about the bill. I know she endorsed Rand Paul in 2016, but don't tell me she's no different than Liz "Mommy Warbucks" Cheney. Could she be the GOP version of Russ Feingold vis-a-vis the so-called "USA PATRIOT Act"? She definitely has to explain this, especially when dealing with the likes of Sean Hannity or Laura Ingraham. (Tucker Carlson has to have some reservations at least...)

She's looking for a quid pro quo, which she likely won't receive!

TUESDAY  APRIL 29 2025

WHITE HOUSE ANNOUNCES THAT PRESIDENT WILL BE ON HAND TO SIGN THE BORDER SECURITY AND PROTECTION ACT, ONCE BOTH HOUSES OF CONGRESS VOTED THE BILL INTO LAW  : White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany in her daily press briefing, announced that the President will sign the landmark 2025 Border Security & Protection legislation into law, as soon as congress has voted. Both houses of congress will hold the scheduled vote this afternoon. The bill will be signed into law in a Rose Garden ceremony. House Majority Leader, Jim Banks (R-IND) announced that the Speaker Steve Scalise (R-LA) has scheduled the house vote, which will occur before the Senate vote. It should be noted that this legislation becomes law, as the DeSantis-Haley administration marks it's 100th day in office. The administration's original schedule has been upended by the Yokota and Seoul Missile attacks, and the emergence of North Korea Jihad, the North Korean Conflict and the Houston Terrorist attacks.
White House Chief of Staff, Byron Donalds remarked, "We have been thrown a number of curve balls, none of which could be ignored ...and to this end we had to address numerous crises, each which represented an existential threat"
Office of Senate Minority Leader, Chuck Schumer (D-NY) , has announced that "Senator Schumer will be unable to attend the signing ceremony, due to fundamental differences with the DeSantis administration over the border".
Numerous print and online publications have reached out to Former Vice President, Kamala Harris for a comment on the impending enactment into law of the Border Act, but none were forthcoming.

TAKING STOCK, THE 100 DAYS OF THE DESANTIS ADMINISTRATION.
The president's hopes were ambitious at best, his first presidential message to congress, outlined an ambitious domestic agenda. His decision to make Vice President Nikki Haley, Border Czar has resulted in the passage of a comprehensive piece of legislation, which now allows the administration to secure, what was regarded a porous Southern border. The Vice President's Asian Tour, concluded in the midst of an international crisis, precipitated by a missile attack on Yokota in Japan. This in turn has led to the proposed establishment of a new Pacific Treaty Organization. Congress passed the Yokota Joint Congressional Resolution, which gives the President authorization to order military action in North Korea. So far, a joint U.S.-China operation is underway to neutralize and eliminate North Korea Jihad. With the implementation of the Border Security & Protection Act now underway, the expectation is that with a secure southern border, further terrorist attacks, similar to what occurred on 4/22 in Houston will be prevented. The president is expected to push for passage of a balanced budget administration, the implementation of a federal voter ID law, a federalization of voting laws in Presidential and Congressional elections, the enactment of a new Immigration Law, and the elimination of Woke Ideology in all school curriculums.

If Republicans win both the Governor's and Lieutenant Governor's contest in California, especially other statewide contests, then it's conceivable that both Alex Padilla in 2028, plus Kamala Harris or Xavier Becerra in 2026 could lose their respective bids to hold or win any contests.

Veteran Democratic strategist Indicates electoral problems for his party brand:
Veteran Democratic strategist, James Carville , indicated on CNN'S SITUATION ROOM, stated that his party will confront "negative headwinds...especially in advance of the upcoming election cycles, not only this year, but next and likely next!" He also suggested that, "Very few Democrats are not enthusiastic about facing the President,Ron DeSantis is the best political operator since Bill Clinton and has his finger on the pulse of the country...I just don't see any Democrat willing to consider challenging DeSantis , especially not in light of the events of 4/22". Carville was asked about if Kamala Harris's prospects, "...Harris's reluctance to seek the Governorship has nothing to do with California or how well Republicans are doing in current  polling, it has more to do with her (Harris's ) own long-term goals and the 4/22 commission and the questions raised, would offer short-term obstacles...Harris is waiting  to see the lay of the land come 2028".
