With week after week of the 24-hour news cycle dominated by the battle over allegations of presidential election fraud, wave whatever-number-we’re-now-up-to of the COVID pandemic “surge,” and wrangling back and forth over a COVID relief bill between both chambers of Congress and the White House, many festering issues of national concern have received little or no attention. One such festering issue is the U.S.-Mexican border.
If you’re among the tens of millions of Americans concerned over not only the continuing influx of illegal aliens but perhaps even more so by the roughly 3.25 million illegal aliens under ICE’s undetained docket — comprised of aliens who have been released from detention with final deportation orders or are awaiting final court — an overwhelming number of whom have committed crimes — many of them violent — beyond immigration violations, Tim Homan, former ICE acting director, is here to concern you even further.
During a recent interview with the Daily Caller News Foundation, Homan predicted a dire situation at the U.S.-Mexico border if Joe Biden is certified as president of the United States by Congress in just six days. In a word, Homan warned a Biden presidency would lead to “chaos” within our immigration system. In eight words, he said it even more bluntly: “If he becomes president, we lose the border.”
Being the no-nonsense, bottom-line guy he is, Homan spoke frankly about how he views border security under Biden as contrasted with that of Trump.
The former acting director, who led ICE between January 2017 and June 2018, told the DCNF illegal immigration has dropped 80% under the Trump administration and compared that to a Doctors Without Borders report that said 30% of migrant women are raped on their journey to the United States.
“For those who hate Trump, they need to think about this — how many women did not get raped because of what the president has done?”
“How many children didn’t die because of what the president has done?
“How many immigrants didn’t die because of what the president has done?
“How many millions of dollars did the criminal cartels not make because of what the president has done?”
In addition to Biden’s announcement that he would immediately place a 100-day moratorium on all non-felony deportations, as I reported in mid-November, the presumed 46th president of the United States has also pledged to raise the annual number of refugees admitted to the country from Trump’s limit of 15,000 to 125,000 or more.
Homan was incredulous.“What kind of message does that send to the rest of the world?”, he asked?
“When you say we shouldn’t be removing illegal aliens unless they commit a felony, you’re inviting every illegal alien into our country because they know there are no consequences to entering the country illegally anymore so long as they don’t get arrested for a felony.”
I hate to spring it on Tom, but Democrats exactly know every bit of that.
Remember, everything the Democrat Party opposes, supports, fights for, or fights against, can be connected to the ballot box with no more than two dots — and in this case, the math could not be simpler: more Hispanics = more future Democrat voters.
“Every American should be afraid of what’s going to happen to our border if Joe Biden becomes president,” Homan declared.
Tom Homan was not only right; he was right for reasons beyond “just” border security.

President Trump blasted Georgia Governor Brian Kemp and demanded his resignation after the Governor refused to back Trump’s ongoing claims of widespread fraud in the state. Since Election Day, President Trump has demanded Gov. Kemp perform ballots audits, signature matching, and recounts after multiple instances of fraud were found in the Peach State. President Trump has blasted Gov. Kemp and Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger but this marks the first time Trump has directly called for Kemp’s resignation.
Donald Trump tweeted, “Hearing from Atlanta on the Georgia Election overturn now being broadcast. Check it out. @OANN @Newsmax and many more. @BrianKempGA should resign from office. he is an obstructionist who refuses to admit we won Georgia, BIG! Also won other Swing States.”
In reports from The Hill:
In the nearly two months since Election Day, Trump and his allies have trained their grievances at Kemp and Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger (R), accusing the duo of mismanaging the election in Georgia. Trump’s tweet on Wednesday, however, marked the first time the president has called for Kemp to step down.
Trump has also sought to pressure Kemp and other Georgia officials to call a special session of the state General Assembly in a bid to toss out the state’s election results and appoint pro-Trump Electoral College members. That effort fell flat, however, and Georgia’s electors cast their votes for Biden on Dec. 14.
Last month, Sens. David Perdue (R-Ga.) and Kelly Loeffler (R-Ga.), who are facing competitive runoff elections on Jan. 5, demanded that Raffensperger resign over his handling of the 2020 election. That demand was immediately dismissed by Raffensperger.
President Trump and his team have continued to fight for the presidential election in courts across the country, adamant that widespread fraud impacted the election. Most cases have ultimately been rejected by the courts. A recent filing by Republican Louie Gohmert and Arizona Republicans is seeking to overturn the election with the help of the Vice President.

Harpazo Finally Pictured in the Sky? The CLIMACTIC MOMENT Is Almost Here! Posted: 31 Dec 2020 11:57 AM PST Copied from Thomas R. Edgar's article entitled "The Meaning of 'Sleep' in 1 Thessalonians 5:10," Journal of the Evangelical Theological Society, 22/4 (December 1979), 345-349: The following arguments indicate that the majority opinion of the meaning of katheudö in 1 Thess 5:10 is almost certainly wrong, and that Hogg and Vine are correct: (1) The Biblical usage of katheudö, especially in the NT, definitely favors an interpretation other than physical death. (2) The verb grêgoreô, which is contrasted with katheudö in the verse, is not used elsewhere to mean physical life. Why force an unheard-of meaning on it here? (3) The verb katheudö has been used in the immediately preceding verses (w 6, 7) without the meaning of death. In ν 6 it refers to a lack of vigilance, and in ν 7 it either means the same or refers to physical sleep. Why change meanings in the immediate context? (4) The entire context (5:1-10) concerns vigilance. Why change to include the idea of physically living or dying, which was adequately covered in 4:13-18? (5) Despite the objections of some that it is abhorrent to think that 5:10 could mean that believers will be with the Lord whether they are vigilant or not, this is precisely the teaching of the NT. Such an interpretation is in harmony with Scripture. The objections are not valid and are based either on faulty eschatology or misunderstanding of the event described in this verse. There are no valid objections to the view that katheudö in 5:10 refers to a lack of vigilance. (6) The verse does not state that it makes little difference whether we are vigilant or not, but after exhortation to be vigilant in the preceding verses Paul concludes with a statement of the certainty of our hope. This hope depends on Christ's death, not on our watchfulness. 1 Thessalonians 5:10, properly interpreted, means "who died for us, that whether we watch or fail to watch we shall live together with him." This verse is contrary to a concept such as a partial rapture. Rather, it expresses the "blessed hope" that all believers, spiritual or not, will be caught up to meet the Lord when he comes for his Church. Whether we live properly or not, we will be with him. Believers are exhorted to watch but, watchful or not, Paul assures Christians that their hope is certain. Additional Comment from Jeff: The Greek term katheudö, often translated in our English versions as "sleep," is not to be confused with koimaö (which is also translated as "sleep"). Although they are translated as the same English word and both are used as figures of speech, these two terms have different meanings. Moreover, the context determines each term's distinct usage and purpose---as is the case with all biblical interpretation. Paul uses koimaö exclusively in the context of 1 Thess. 4:13-18 to refer to believers in Christ who have physically died. And he uses katheudö in the context of 1 Thess. 5:1-11 to refer to believers in Christ who are physically alive but spiritually dead. In both contexts, the "koimaö Christian" and the "katheudö Christian" are each a brother and sister within the same Body that belongs to Christ. Therefore, this consistency in usage between chapters 4 and 5 indicates that there is no such thing as a "partial rapture." Whether carelessly conveyed or overtly stated, the belief that unwatchful, worldly members of Christ's Body somehow miss the Rapture thoroughly undermines the very gospel itself. As Thomas Edgar highlights in his paper, 1 Thess. 5:10 is crystal clear: When the Lord himself descends from heaven with a shout to raise the koimaö (physically dead), He will not only harpazo (rapture) living believers who are watching for Him, but He will also snatch up the katheudö (spiritually asleep) believers. These blood-bought, katheudö Christians will be appointed to the same (Pre-Trib) salvation as their watchful brethren (1 Thess. 5:9); however, they will experience some measure of loss and/or regret having been lulled to sleep temporarily by the alluring and intoxicating mantra of the children of darkness, "peace and security" (cf. 1 Thess. 5:3). Even so, brothers and sisters in Christ, just say "no!" to the katheudö mindset. Choose grégoreó (watchfulness) all the way until the trumpet sounds! |
