    Biden Administration Is Playing Deceitful Shell Game to Claim Fewer Illegal Border Crossings

    The Biden administration is getting ready to claim that its new immigration “parole” process is a success—drastically cutting down the number of immigrants illegally crossing the southern border between ports of entry.

    On Classified Documents, Biden Is Out of Excuses

    Every president probably stashes away classified documents. The chances of any president being successfully prosecuted for pilfering them are infinitesimal.
