Biden Admin Spent Border Wall Funds on Climate Agenda, Watchdog Reveals




Democrat President Joe Biden’s administration has blown through the taxpayer funds allocated for border wall construction by spending the money on globalist “climate change” initiatives.

According to a new report by the Government Accountability Office (GAO), the Biden admin spent the tax dollars on “environmental planning.”

The GAO investigated whether Biden’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) broke the law when it effectively blocked the use of taxpayer dollars to build a wall along the Southern Border.

The watchdog group launched the probe at the request of Republican Reps. Jack Bergman (R-MI) and Jodey Arrington (R-TX).

While GAO’s final report clears the DHS of breaking the law, it confirmed that the federal agency used congressionally appropriated funds meant for the border wall to pay for Biden’s climate agenda.

The funds were, instead, spent on “environmental planning” and efforts “to remediate or mitigate environmental damage from past border wall construction.”

Republicans on the House Budget Committee, including Bergman and Arrington, blasted Biden over the revelations.

They characterized the GAO’s findings as confirmation that the Biden admin has spent taxpayer funds meant to enhance border security to further its environmental agenda.

Congress previously approved funds for DHS to build a border barrier between fiscal year 2018 and fiscal year 2021.

However, President Biden and his appointees quickly instituted a new policy upon entering office in 2021.

The new policy ensured that “no more American taxpayer dollars (would) be diverted to construct a border wall”

Cabinet secretaries, including DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, were ordered to work together to produce plans for how to shift funds away from border wall construction.

In 2021, DHS released a report detailing how it would look to redirect funds meant for the wall to instead pay for things like “environmental planning,” reviewing upcoming eminent domain actions and considering environmental remediation efforts in areas that had been the site of previous construction, according to GAO’s report.

As Slay News has previously reported, Biden’s eminent domain agenda involved seizing land from farmers to supposedly “fight climate change.”

The agency then changed its plans in July 2022, applying an amendment that made environmental remediation a top priority for the agency’s expenditure of the funds appropriated for fiscal years 2018-2021.

The Biden administration has made great efforts to roll back or replace many of the immigration and border policies of President Donald Trump.

However, the situation at the border has deteriorated massively since 2021.

There have been nearly 8 million land encounters at the southwest border since October 2021, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP).

The Congressional Budget Office reported in January that more than 3.3 million people came to the U.S. illegally, were released into the country via parole, or overstayed their permission to remain in the country in fiscal year 2023 alone.

The situation at the border set the stage for congressional Republicans to attempt to impeach Mayorkas earlier this spring.

The House voted to impeach Mayorkas in February, but the Senate quickly dismissed an impeachment trial along partisan lines earlier in April.

MAGA Hat-Wearing Black Chicago Residents Blast Democrat Mayor over Migrant-First Agenda




A group of black Chicago residents wearing MAGA hats turned up to a meeting at city hall to blast Democrat Mayor Brandon Johnson for prioritizing illegal aliens over his own vulnerable constituents.

Chicago residents dressed in pro-Trump hats tore into the “sanctuary” city’s mayor for allotting $70 million in taxpayer funds to care for illegal border crossers.

Concerned citizens spoke directly to Mayor Johnson on Wednesday.

During the gathering, officials were originally expected to vote on funding for migrant services in the Windy City.

Johnson, a radical progressive, has long defended the city’s “sanctuary” policies.

On Friday, he planned to get the aldermen to accept the requested funds to continue giving handouts to illegal aliens.

Johnson requested more funding despite the city having already blown $300 million on the crisis caused by Democrat President Joe Biden’s open border policies.

One woman, wearing a red “Make American Great Again” cowboy hat and a “Chicago RED” t-shirt slammed Johnson to his face during the meeting.

“We need that money in my neighborhood,” she told city officials.

“We need that money on my block.”

“So I’m asking ya’ll to use our tax money for our people, we need it,” she added.

WATCH:

However, the meeting ended without a vote.

The city’s aldermen deferred a decision on Brandon’s request for funds.

While frustrated residents insisted that the money is needed elsewhere, others warned the mayor that they will vote him out of office if the funds are spent on illegal migrants.

“Vote for the money for these immigrants today and we coming for those seats, you can believe that,” another woman said during the meeting.

Following the meeting, Johnson laughed about the citizen’s threatening to recall him.

Instead, he insisted that past mayors have done worse.

“We’ve had mayors close schools, we’ve had mayors who have shut down public housing,” he said.

“So any individual who is somehow insulted by this progressive agenda that is being led by one of the most diverse cabinets in the history of Chicago — I just call into question anyone who would be motivated to see this type of transformation disrupted,” Johnson added.

Johnson continued by trying to blame the so-called “extreme right wing” for the city’s problems.

The mayor claimed “extreme” Republicans are ‘intimidated by the fact that we’ve passed paid time off [for] thousands of workers.

“We’ve abolished sub-minimum wage, which has its roots in history in slavery.”

Currently, Johnson cannot be kicked out of office under Illinois state law.

State law only allows the governor to be recalled.

The mayor made it clear that he plans “to be here for the next 23 years.”

However, 58-year-old Dan Boland, a former technology salesman, has formed a political action group to raise money to challenge the state law.

Boland told Chicago Sun-Times that he has launched a petition to put a referendum on the November ballot.

He notes that it was not created to “hurt” Johnson, but was introduced to “help and empower” Chicago citizens.

“We can’t let Chicago circle the rim for another three years,” Boland said.

“We need to get out of this cycle and fix things… if [Johnson] can’t fix it, we need to get someone in there who can.”

Boland expressed that the people of Chicago are also concerned about the rampant crime that has taken over since the “sanctuary city” was flooded with illegal aliens.

“People can’t go out and even go to the grocery store without getting mugged,” Boland said.

“People can’t sell their tamales out on the street without getting accosted by people who are armed.”

“These are armed juvenile thugs.

“That’s one reason that just put it over the top for me.”

Mayor Johnson himself says the huge influx of migrants is unsustainable.

However, he claims he can’t turn them away because Chicago is a “sanctuary city.”

Johnson has blamed both the Biden administration and Texas for his city struggling to care for the about 15,000 illegals crammed into 28 migrant shelters across the city.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott has bused more than 25,300 migrants to Chicago since August 2022.

Democrat 'Sanctuary City' Defunds Police to Spend $8 Million on Illegal Alien 'Newcomers'



The Democrat-controlled “sanctuary city” of Denver, Colorado is defunding its police department in order to pay for illegal aliens who have entered the country illegally expecting handouts from taxpayers.

The city announced $45 million in funding for programs to help deal with the skyrocketing number of so-called “newcomers.”

The funding for illegal aliens has resulted in over $8 million in budget cuts for the police department.

Last week, Denver Mayor Mike Johnston, a Democrat, announced a package of $45.9 million to fully fund programs for “newcomers” for 2024.

The mayor argued that the package would avoid worst-case scenarios projected by the city.

That’s in addition to $44 million in spending already secured for the program through previous budget moves.

Spending on illegal migrants in the city skyrocketed last year from $2 million a month in August to $15 million in December.

In January, the number of illegal border crossers peaked at around 5,000 in shelters, according to official figures.

However, the numbers have since dropped to around 1,000 as many have since been housed by the city.

“After more than a year of facing this crisis together, Denver finally has a sustainable plan for treating our newcomers with dignity while avoiding the worst cuts to city services,” Johnston said.

The mayor’s office says it will avoid layoffs or furloughs of employees, but there will still be cuts to find the extra $45.9 million in funding.

The mayor’s office will see its budget cut by nearly 10%.

Denver’s police department, meanwhile, will have its budget cut by $8.4 million, about 1.9% of its budget.

And about $5 million of that will come from restricting hiring for open positions, 9News reported.

Police officers will still be hired by Denver International Airport, which will pay for the costs of a recruiting class.

Elsewhere, the city’s fire department will have its budget cut by less than 1%, about $2.5 million, largely from not filling open positions.

Funded as part of the new spending will be a new “Denver Asylum Seekers Program.”

It will apply to around 1,000 people in the shelter system.

The program will connect the illegals with taxpayer-funded housing assistance options for six months until they can get a work permit under their asylum claims.

There will also be a “WorkReady” program, described as an “innovative pre-work authorization readiness program” by which illegal aliens can be connected with training opportunities, including language instruction.

The city says it has helped more than 40,000 illegals in 16 months.

The figure is the highest per capita of any city in the country, at a cost to taxpayers of more than $68 million.

A spokesperson for Johnston rejected descriptions of the cuts as “defunding” the police and said there will be 167 new police recruits added to the force in 2024.

The spokesperson also said the 1.9% cut is less than the average of 2.5% cuts to all city agencies and that the cuts will have no impact on public services and result in no officers being taken off the streets.

In a statement, city spokesman Jordan Fuja said:

“The City of Denver’s adjustment to the Denver Police Department’s budget was carefully crafted with safety leaders and Mayor Johnston to ensure there would be no impact to the department’s public services.

“And no officers will be taken off the streets.

“To say that Denver is ‘defunding the police’ is a willful mischaracterization of the budget adjustments, which actually just delays the purchase of new furniture and shifts the funding source for one cadet class,” he said.

“In fact, Mayor Johnston has invested millions to add 167 new police recruits to our force in 2024 and will continue to invest in public safety to ensure every Denverite is safe in their city.”

It’s the latest battle by liberal cities to deal with the flow of migrants that have surged into their communities.

The flood is due to a combination of illegal border crossers moving by themselves or being bussed in from Texas.

Last year, New York City proposed significant budget cuts, including to police, but later reversed them amid revenue growth.

Chicago has also faced massive pressures on its budget over the number of migrants coming in.

Denver Illegal Aliens: 6 Months of Free Rent & Food Is 'Offensive' and a 'Slap in the Face'



An illegal alien in Denver has slammed taxpayers as “offensive” and blasted the “sanctuary” city’s offer of free housing and food for six months as a “slap in the face.”

Denver has established a new “Asylum Seekers Program” that diverts tax dollars away from city resources such as police to pay for the flood of illegal alien “newcomers” in the city.

Under the program, foreign nationals can illegally cross the border into the United States and expect six months of free food and rent once they arrive in Denver.

However, illegals and a migrant advocacy group have decried the offer as “insufficient.”

The Democrat-run city has been struggling to stretch its limited resources to support the growing number of illegal border crossers making their way to Denver.

Over 40,000 migrants have found their way to the city since December 2022.

The figure is more per capita than any other U.S. city.

So far, the crisis has cost Denver taxpayers around $68 million, the New York Post reported.

Last week, Denver Mayor Mike Johnston announced that his city’s migrant program would now provide what he called “a long-term, sustainable response” to address the migrant “crisis” locally.

The program will offer six months of free housing, food assistance, workforce training, and more to the roughly 1,000 migrants currently in the city’s shelter system as they wait for authorization to work, according to the Post.

Due to the federal “asylum seeker” law, it can take up to 180 days to obtain working authorization.

Johnston’s office said his plan will treat “our newcomers with dignity while avoiding the worst cuts to city services.”

But to make the program financially feasible and cover the cost of migrant services, Johnston made budget cuts in other areas.

Those cuts have included Denver’s emergency departments, as Slay News reported.

Under the new program, the Denver Police Department budget will be slashed by roughly $8.4 million, or 1.9%, Newsweek reported.

The city’s fire department will also face a budget reduction.

The new plan mandates that migrants who arrive in the city must vacate shelters after 24-72 hours, after which they will be “provided a short-term stay at a congregate site along with assistance securing onward travel to another destination,” the Post reported.

Previously, migrants were allowed to stay in shelters between two and six weeks.

Housing advocacy group Housekeys Action Network Denver (HAND) slammed Johnston for the changes, accusing the Democrat of taking insufficient action to accommodate the migrants in his city.

“Every new migrant that comes is going to be left to fend for themselves after 24 to 72 hours,” HAND spokesperson V. Reeves told local ABC affiliate KMGH-TV.

Reeves called the program “a slap in the face and an offensive period of time.”

Willy Bastidas, an illegal migrant, blasted the handouts as “insufficient.”

Bastidas told the station that the new rules would only further contribute to the homelessness problem in the city.

“I think that it’s insufficient,” he told KMGH.

“The mayor doesn’t represent us,” he added.

“He needs to listen to us and work with us to a better solution.”

Earlier this year, Johnston predicted that the migrant crisis would cost the city around $180 million.

He previously told Fox News that the city was “very close” to a breaking point due to the crisis and announced the city was cutting $5 million from public services.

Meanwhile, the Democrat mayor is trying to pin the blame on Republicans and President Donald Trump.

The city has supported more than 38,000 migrants from the southern border at a cost of nearly $58 million as of March 2024, Fox 31 reported.

Venezuelans make up the vast majority of those who have arrived in the city since 2023, according to the Colorado Sun.

Texas has transported thousands of migrants to sanctuary cities like Denver, to showcase the problems that border states face when migrants flood their cities.

The influx of migrants has also put the city’s health system at a breaking point.

Around 8,000 illegal migrants recorded about 20,000 visits to Denver Health last year.

They are receiving taxpayer-funded services such as emergency room treatment, primary care, dental care, and childbirth.

Last month, the city begged local property owners to house some of the illegal alien “newcomers” in their homes.

Hospital Whistleblower: Doctors Are Euthanizing Covid-Vaxxed Due to 'Horrific' Side Effects




A medical industry whistleblower has come forward with explosive allegations to warn the public that Covid mRNA shots are causing people to “die so horrifically” and “so quickly” after they received the injections.

The hospital whistleblower, known only as “Zoe,” revealed that doctors have been euthanizing patients due to the severity of the side effects from the injections.

Zoe, a hospital medical coder, said the health issues caused by the Covid shots were so “horrific” that the Covid-vaccinated patients “kind had to be put down” by doctors.

In a whistleblowing interview with the nonprofit Children’s Health Defense (CHD), Zoe revealed that hospitals and medical professionals were simply not prepared for the wave of sudden deathsheart attacksorgan failure, and now cancers among the vaccinated population that followed since the Covid shots were rolled out to the public in early 2021.

As a medical coder, Zoe transfers the information included in patient medical records into a database for insurance purposes.

“I didn’t know it was possible for a human to die so horrifically, so quickly, before they rolled out the mRNA injections,” Zoe revealed.

“It was insane, I’ve never seen anything like that.

“The worst of them, they called it sepsis, but it was like instant multi-organ failure.

“Like, within hours patients would die of liver, lung, kidney… failure [all at once]…”

“Some of the records…[from the] emergency crew that found them [the injection victims], it’s like their body tried to reject everything,” she added.

“[In] some of these cases, their family would be there 30 minutes before, and then within an hour they’re dead.”

WATCH:

Zoe noted that “there were patients coming in with seizures like I’d never seen before.”

However, she said that hospital staff “couldn’t control some of them.”

She revealed that so many vaxxed patients were arriving with severe side effects to the Covid mRNA injections that doctors started to euthanize them to “stop it.”

“[For] days, patients would be seizing, and no medications would stop it, and eventually they…kinda had to be put down,” she revealed.

“They called it encephalitis, or encephalopathy, and then later on, even the coding organization…[called it] COVID-19-associated encephalitis,” the coder added.

She also claimed the doctors treating these patients “were baffled” about what was causing the unprecedented wave of sudden deaths and severe illness.

“They weren’t connecting the dots,” Zoe noted.

However, she said the patients were all vaccinated for Covid and clearly suffering from known side effects of the mRNA injections.

“Knowing what the potential symptoms of a vaccine injury could be, we 100% had all the things I just described,” she said.

But despite that knowledge, “doctors would never tell [patients] that” the Covid shots caused their health issues.

“They would just say, ‘It’s a stroke. It’s a heart attack. It’s a blood clot,’” Zoe explained.

“And then they would never connect the two.”

Top Study: Carbon Emissions CANNOT Cause 'Global Warming'




A bombshell new peer-reviewed study has provided conclusive scientific evidence proving that carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in Earth’s atmosphere cannot cause “global warming.”

Dr. Jan Kubicki led a group of world-renowned Polish scientists to study the impact of increases in CO2 emissions on the Earth’s global temperatures.

However, not only did they find that higher levels of CO2 made no difference, but they also proved that it simply isn’t possible for increases in carbon dioxide to cause temperatures to rise.

Kubicki and his team recently published three papers which all conclude that Earth’s atmosphere is already “saturated” with carbon dioxide.

This saturation means that, even at greatly increased levels of CO2, the “greenhouse gas” will not cause temperatures to rise.

Kubicki et al. summarize their evidence by noting that as a result of saturation, “emitted CO2 does not directly cause an increase in global temperature.”

Current levels of CO2 in the atmosphere are around 418 parts per million (ppm) but the scientists state that past 400 ppm, “the CO2 concentration can no longer cause any increase in temperature.”

The saturation of CO2 in the atmosphere is the hypothesis that dares not speak its name in mainstream media, politics, and across much of climate science.

The World Economic Forum’s (WEF) “Net Zero” collectivism agenda is doomed without the constant fearmongering of a so-called “climate crisis.”

One of the key propaganda messages behind this “green agenda” is that humans are responsible for the ever-warming climate by burning hydrocarbons and releasing CO2 into the atmosphere.

The saturation hypothesis is complex, but in simple terms, it can be described by the example of loft insulation in a house.

After a certain point, doubling the lagging will have little effect since most of the heat trying to escape through the roof has already been trapped.

Carbon dioxide traps heat only within narrow bands of the infrared spectrum.

Levels of the gas have been up to 20 times higher in the past without any sign of runaway “global warming.”

At current levels, the Polish scientists suggest that there is “currently multiple exceedances of the saturation mass for carbon dioxide in the Earth’s atmosphere.”

The latest study is published in the prestigious Elsevier’s Science Direct peer-reviewed journal.

Many other scientists are attracted to the saturation hypothesis because it provides more plausible explanations to fit past changes in the climate.

Last year, three scientists led by Atmospheric Professor Yi Huang of McGill University stated that:

“Transmission in the CO2 band center is unchanged by increased CO2 as the absorption is already saturated.”

Despite over 50 years of trying, climate modelers and scientists in the anthropogenic camp are no nearer putting a temperature rise on a doubling of CO2 in the atmosphere.

Estimates from 0.5°C up to around 6°C, with some outliers as high as 10°C, are little more than guesses, yet they form the “scientific” bedrock for promoting global fear of human-caused climate change.

The figures are too wild and imprecise to make any reasonable scientific predictions, yet the claim is constantly repeated that the science is “settled,” the “consensus” proof is in and it is all beyond debate.

The Polish scientists quote the author of Idso 1998 that “currently used models do not yet provide a suitable basis for the development of rational policies related to potential climate changes.”

Science outlet No Tricks Zone notes that the Polish authors are concerned about the recent push to rely on modeling and assumptions about CO2’s capacity to drive changes in global temperatures rather than observational evidence.

“This unequivocally suggests that the officially presented impact of anthropogenic CO2 increase on Earth’s climate is merely a hypothesis rather than a substantiated fact.”

The online science site also reports on other recent scientific work that backs up the saturation hypothesis.

In Chen et al. 2023 it was reported that CO2 had severely reduced warming effect past pre-industrial concentrations.

It was also noted that water vapor and cloud influences overlap, thus dominating absorption in the CO2 infrared band.

In 2022, German Physics Professor Dieter Schildknecht set the saturation level of CO2 at just 300 ppm and concluded that beyond this, further increases cannot affect the Earth’s climate.

At this low level, absorption is said to reach levels close to 100%, so further human-caused CO2 emissions cannot lead to appreciable stronger absorption of radiation.

Emeritus Professor William Happer of Princeton is another leading proponent of the saturation hypothesis.

Happer was recently featured in Martin Durkin’s Climate: The Movie.

In the film, he responds to the current “science” enforcing the WEF’s “Net Zero” agenda.

He said he could live with the descriptive suggestion “hoax,” although he preferred the word “scam.”

Several other world-renowned scientists have also blasted the globalist “climate crisis” narrative as a “scam” and a “hoax.”

As Slay News reported, 2022 Nobel physics laureate Dr. John Clauser blasted the climate narrative in no uncertain terms:

“I assert there is no connection whatsoever between climate change and CO– it’s all a crock of crap, in my opinion.”

Clauser, a modern science giant, has also signed a declaration asserting as much, as Slay News reported.

He joined over 1600 scientists from around the world, including another Nobel Prize winner, by signing a declaration stating that claims of a “climate emergency” threatening the Earth are a hoax.

The massive group of scientists signed the World Climate Declaration (WCD).

The WCD dismisses the existence of a “climate crisis” and insists that carbon dioxide is beneficial to Earth.

The WCD was created by the Global Climate Intelligence Group (CLINTEL) and was first published in early August, as Slay News reported at the time.

Since it was published, hundreds of scientists have signed the WCD.

“There is no climate emergency,” the WCD declares.

“Climate science should be less political, while climate policies should be more scientific.

“Scientists should openly address uncertainties and exaggerations in their predictions of global warming, while politicians should dispassionately count the real costs as well as the imagined benefits of their policy measures.”

The coalition points out that Earth’s climate has varied as long as it has existed.

They stress that there is “no statistical evidence” to support these claims.

“There is no climate emergency,” the scientists assert.

“Therefore, there is no cause for panic and alarm.

“We strongly oppose the harmful and unrealistic Net Zero CO2 policy proposed for 2050.”

During a separate speech, Clauser warned the public that the “climate crisis” narrative being pushed by the global elite and their allies in the corporate media is a hoax.

Clauser, who was also awarded the 2010 Wolf Prize in Physics, the second most prestigious physics award after the Nobel, warns that fearmongering climate science is nothing more than “massive shock-journalistic pseudoscience.”

“The popular narrative about climate change reflects a dangerous corruption of science that threatens the world’s economy and the well-being of billions of people,” Clauser said in a May 5, 2023 statement.

“Misguided climate science has metastasized into massive shock-journalistic pseudoscience.

“In turn, the pseudoscience has become a scapegoat for a wide variety of other unrelated ills.

“It has been promoted and extended by similarly misguided business marketing agents, politicians, journalists, government agencies, and environmentalists.

“In my opinion, there is no real climate crisis.”
