  Of the record 14 million illegal border crossers reported under the Biden-Harris administration, more than 1.62 million are from four Countries of Particular Concern (CPC): China, Cuba, Nicaragua and Russia. The U.S. State Department has designated CPCs for their policies of “systematic, ongoing, egregious violations of religious freedom,” which includes “torture, prolonged detention without charges, forced disappearance, or other flagrant denial of life, liberty, or security of persons.” U.S. designated CPCs include Burma, the People’s Republic of China, Cuba, Eritrea, Iran, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (North Korea), Nicaragua, Pakistan, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Tajikistan, and Turkmenistan. The CPCs of Cuba, North Korea, and Iran are also designated State Sponsors of Terrorism (SST). U.S. Customs and Border Protection records nationality for every illegal border crosser but not all nationality data is published online. Of the 12 CPCs, CBP published apprehensi...

Wisconsin’s Senate race between incumbent Democrat Tammy Baldwin and Republican challenger Eric Hovde are nearly dead even, polls from Emerson College and Trafalgar Group showed. The results are like a Quinnipiac poll of 1,108 likely voters showing the two candidates are too close to call. The Emerson College poll of 800 likely Wisconsin voters had each candidate at 48% support in a poll conducted Oct. 21-22 through contacting the cell phones of potential voters (61% of respondents) and an online panel of voters (39%). The Emerson poll had Donald Trump with 49% support and Kamala Harris with 48% in the state. Nearly 65% of the 1.2% of undecided voters said that they lean toward Harris while 35% lean toward Trump. The poll showed that nearly 42% of voters believe the economy is the most important issue facing the state while 17% said threats to democracy, 10% said abortion access and 9% each said immigration and housing affordability. Of those surveyed, 46% said they voted...

"It's appalling, and the press hasn't spoken enough about it," - Eric Hovde. A top border expert says that the U.S. government is facilitating "taxpayer-funded trafficking" by sending unaccompanied migrant children to unvetted homes where they are sexually abused, and a growing number are ending up in Wisconsin. Dr. Jarrod Sadulski, who has two decades of experience in federal law enforcement, told an audience in Pewaukee that the Biden/Harris administration is "sending children to unvetted sponsors. They are delivering children to people who are trafficking them. This is happening. And this is happening in Wisconsin. The cartels move these children." The cartels also give the children new identities and tell them who to name as their sponsors, he said. More than 300,000 unaccompanied minors are unaccounted for, he said. The government sent 774 such kids to Wisconsin homes this year through September 30, a number that rose from 98 in 2018,...

Wisconsin’s Senate race between incumbent Democrat Tammy Baldwin and Republican challenger Eric Hovde is too close to call, according to a new Quinnipiac Poll. Baldwin has 49% support amount the 1,108 likely voters polled from Oct. 17-21 while Hovde saw 48% of the support in a poll with a 2.9% margin of error, making it too close to call. That’s a tightening from an Oct. 9 poll that showed Baldwin with 50% support compared to 46% for Hovde. The toss-up call is similar to how the Cook Political Report sees the race. The two faced off in what was expected to be their only debate Friday evening. The Quinnipiac Poll has run since 1994 and uses a random sampling of adults using random digit dialing with live interviewers calling both cell phones and land lines. The poll also showed Donald Trump and Kamala Harris are tied with 48% support from likely voters in the presidential race in the state. All third party candidates received less than 1% support. That compares to an Oct. 9...

Democrat Jodi Habush Sinykin is refusing to pull a campaign ad that Sen. Duey Stroebel says falsely accuses him of not supporting IVF. Stroebel supports IVF, he confirmed in a statement. "The nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau confirmed in the attached memo that Wis. Stat. 940.04 and 2019 Senate Joint Resolution 86 do not impact IVF access in Wisconsin," Stroebel wrote in a news release. "A Jodi Habush Sinykin television advertisement continues to tell irresponsible, proven lies about Senator Stroebel’s strong record in the State Senate," the release says. Senator Stroebel issued the following statement: “I knew immediately that Jodi Habush Sinykin was lying about my record in the State Senate, but confirmation from the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau makes it obvious that Jodi and her campaign knowingly lied to mislead Wisconsin voters.” “Jodi and her team should do the right thing, stop spending hundreds of thousands of dollars a week sp...
