The Border Bill Had Little to Do With the Border

from America Emboldened · host Greg Boulden

The bipartisan “border bill” that the Senate passed has been shot down by Congress. News media immediately blamed Donald Trump and insincere Republicans stonewalling efforts to address a serious issue. The text of the bill reveals that this bipartisan agreement was less about the border and more about funding the Biden Administrations proxy wars. $118 billion was agreed on with only $20.2 billion used for the Border. Further scrutiny of the bill showed the majority of the funds going to defend the security of the Ukraine at a cost of over $60 billion. Gaza, Israel, the Red Sea, and other efforts made up the rest. The bill did nothing to solve the illegal immigration measures as it only activated when 5,000 illegals were counted crossing in a day. The funds would go to processing. Nothing in the bill addressed the almost 8 million illegals that have entered in just this administrations term. Each time the mainstream names one of these political footballs it is important to recognize that they are revealing their bias. The mainstream alternative press plays these same games. They know how to create fear in their base and continue to engage and lead you in directions that cause you to rely on them. In the social media sphere some of these people rise to levels of influencer. Dom Lucre is one of the major influencers with over 1.5 billion impressions each month on his posts, he rivals Matt Drudge’s popular website engagement. Dom’s account has amassed a viral following with over 1 million tuning in to see what he will post next. I’m curious, has anyone ever thought about the character and integrity of the individuals they trust? You may be surprised to learn that Dom has a history of scamming people. Yet, many repost his tall tales as if they are the gospel to their political ideology. I present that he is likely doing more damage to the Conservative party than helping, and today I’ll begin to explain why.
