The Brew: Laken Riley’s Killer Traveled to Georgia on Your Dime

A date that cannot come soon enough ... for those who believe in secure borders.

By Al Perrotta Published on November 19, 2024

Happy Tuesday!

It’s a busy Brew today. But we start with a story that’ll have you grumbling, then thanking God that the Biden-Harris-ordered open season on Americans will soon be at an end.

Sickening: Biden-Harris Administration Paid for Laken Riley’s Killer’s Flight to Georgia

The murder trial of the illegal immigrant and known gang member charged with killing Georgia nursing student Laken Riley took another ghastly turn Monday.

The roommate of Jose Iberra testified Monday that the federal government flew both of them — with your tax dollars — from New York not back to their home country of Venezuela, but to Georgia.

Donald Trump’s transition team responded quickly to the sickening news. “On January 20, the protection of criminal illegal aliens in America ENDS once and for all.”

Meanwhile, add Boston Mayor Michelle Wu to the list of Democratic leaders who promise that “we are not cooperating” with any federal deportation actions. Who, we wonder, has Wu now condemned to violently die in her city?

At the same time, Trump’s promise of a mass deportation has Haitian migrants fleeing the city of Springfield, Ohio, The Guardian is reporting. A few months back, Springfield became ground zero in the battle against illegal immigration, with widespread stories of Haitian migrants eating the town’s cats, dogs, and geese, along with less sordid stories of how the massive influx of Haitians to Springfield was wrecking social services and sending rents sky-high.

Biden Justice: Charges Dropped Against Illegals Who Trespassed on Major Military Base

Patriots who peacefully wandered into the Capitol on January 6 get hard time. But apparently, if you are illegal immigrants from Jordan who breach a U.S. military base, you get all the charges against you dropped.

The Washington Times reports the Biden DOJ has quietly dropped charges against Jordanian nationals Hamdan Yousef Hasan and Mohammed Khair Hassan Dabous, whom sentries apprehended while they were trying to get onto Marine Corps Base Quantico in May.

Initial reports indicated one of the men was on a terrorist watch list. However, prosecutors later denied any terrorist connection, and lawyers for the two insist the incident was “a misunderstanding.”

Trump Wants to Make Nice With Press, Not Seek Retribution

In the wake of a meeting Friday with hostile MSNBC hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski, Donald Trump declared he has an “an obligation to the American public, and to our country itself, to be open and available to the press.”

Trump insisted to Fox News Digital: “I am not looking for retribution, grandstanding or to destroy people who treated me very unfairly, or even badly beyond comprehension. I am always looking to give a second and even third chance, but never willing to give a fourth chance — that is where I hold the line.”

Breaking News from Pennsylvania

This just in: Pennsylvania has finally finished counting all its election ballots. Congratulations to Ben Franklin on winning a place in the Pennsylvania Colonial Assembly.

Actually, Pennsylvania is still dragging ballots out of the woodwork to try to toss the open U.S. Senate seat to incumbent Democrat Bob Casey. Chairman Michael Whatley told the Daily Caller that the Republican National Committee is deciding whether to seek criminal charges against Bucks County Commissioner Diane Ellis-Marseglia, who has openly admitted to illegally counting ballots in the Casey race against Republican challenger Dave McCormick. Casey endorsed Ellis-Marseglia when she ran for county commissioner last year — ironically, saying they must do so in order to “fight extremism at the ballot box,” according to The Washington Free Beacon.

Meanwhile, an election judge in Minnesota has been arrested after allowing 11 people to cast ballots even though they were unregistered.

The AP reports that two other election judges were witnesses. One claimed Badoura Township head election judge Timothy Scouton told the people not to fill out the registration form. The other said Scouton told them they only had to sign the back of a book. When first asked about the missing registrations, Scouton said he could not find the forms.

Scouton has been charged with two felonies: accepting the vote of an unregistered voter and neglect of duty by an election official.

Jen Psaki Says Caring for Girls’ Safety in Sports is ‘Right-Wing Propaganda’

MSNBC’s Jen Psaki is doubling down on her support for biological males running all over women’s and girls’ sports. She claims the idea that the problem of boys competing against girls is merely “right-wing propaganda.”

“There are incredibly few examples of transgender girls playing in youth sports,” she says, “and when we do see these examples, there is no evidence that these kids are a threat to safety or fairness.”

Psaki might want to talk to the females who have to practice with and compete against San Jose State University women’s volleyball player Blaire Fleming, who is a male, about the threat his spiking power poses. (Several of those players have now filed a lawsuit against the Mountain West Conference for allowing Fleming to play.)

And don’t you dare say Fleming is not a danger. He was accused of conspiring with an opposing player from Colorado State University to give that player a free shot at spiking a ball at one of his teammates who is not on board with sharing a court or shower space with a biological male. The Mountain West Conference closed its investigation without taking any disciplinary action against Fleming, saying the evidence that he exposed his teammate to harm was “insufficient.”

AAA: Record-Breaking Travel This Year for Thanksgiving

If AAA is right, we will be hearing, “Are we there yet?” next week more often than any Thanksgiving period in history.

AAA estimates nearly 80 million Americans will travel over the Thanksgiving holiday. That’s up 1.7 million from last year. A record number of people are planning to fly.

About 71.7 million will hit the roads. The good news? Falling oil prices may see the national average for gasoline fall below $3 per gallon for the first time since 2021. The bad news? Hotel rates are up 28%.
