200,000 More Illegal Aliens Crossed the Southern Border Last Month

This week, the Biden administration released new data showing nearly 200,000 illegal aliens were apprehended crossing the southern border in July. In fact, for the seventeenth straight month, more than 150,000 lawbreakers have crossed the southern border. That puts us on track for another two million lawbreakers crossing the border this year and more than 4.2 million illegals pouring into our country thanks to Biden’s reckless open border policies, including 66 on the terrorist watch list.  The majority of these lawbreakers are “processed” by border patrol officers and subsequently released into the United States.  Where they go is anyone’s guess.  Don’t believe me?  In April, 234,000 illegals crossed the border.  Of those, more than half, or 118,000, were “processed” and then released into our country.  The others were returned to Mexico under President Trump’s Title 42 authority, but Biden recently rescinded that policy.  Going forward, we can expect nearly all illegals to be released into our country, including all 200,000 that crossed in July. This doesn’t include the hundreds of thousands of illegals that simply walk across our border and never get stopped.  Known as “gotaways,” it is estimated that 800,000 to one million more illegals fall into this category.

Sadly, illicit drugs, including deadly fentanyl, also continue to pour in.  More than 2000 pounds of fentanyl was seized by border officials in July. That’s enough to kill 469 million people, or substantially more than the entire population of our country. Mr. Biden’s open border policies are an open invitation to criminals and drug cartels to cross into our country unchecked.  Biden refuses to protect the people of America and he has lost the trust of its citizens.

Biden’s Botched Withdrawal in Afghanistan One Year Later

One year ago this week, Joe Biden oversaw one of the worst foreign policy decisions in United States history.  Biden, along with his incompetent woke military leadership, made the disastrous decision to unconditionally withdraw troops from Afghanistan and surrender over $80 billion in equipment to the Taliban. On August 15, 2021, while Biden was vacationing, Afghanistan fell to the Taliban.   Days earlier Biden boldly claimed it was “highly unlikely” the Taliban would take power, despite the U.S. military and U.S. intelligence community warning repeatedly this is exactly what would happen.

Due to Mr. Biden’s incompetence and poor military leadership, he failedto secure the airport perimeter and allowed a suicide bomber to enter resulting in the needless death of 13 American service members. This public humiliation of our country was the result of incompetency, negligence and ineptitude.  Despite promising: “There’s going to be no circumstances where you see people being lifted off the roof of an embassy of the United States in Afghanistan,” Biden failed to plan for all contingencies. As a result, we know that he left behind more than 1,000 American citizens.  This week, a damning report by Republicans on the House Foreign Affairs Committee illustrated that the Biden administration waited until the final hours on how to evacuate American citizens before losing to the Taliban in Afghanistan.  In other words, until it was too late.

Instead, Biden gathered over 100,000 Afghanis and flew them to America.  None were vetted and many turned out to be on terrorist watch lists.  The fallout from the botched withdrawal has made America less safe while emboldening our adversaries.

Congress should be holding multiple hearings on this colossal failure, yet the Biden administration has repeatedly ignored Republican requests for documentation and information from the State Department and democrats who control congress refuse to hold any hearings.

Attorney General Merrick Garland Has GOT TO GO!

This week I cosponsored a resolution to impeach Attorney General Garland for endangering, compromising, and undermining the justice system of the United States for facilitating the persecution of President Trump.  Attorney General Merrick personally approved the search warrant for the recent FBI raid on President Trump’s home.

This was a blatant attempt to persecute a political opponent.  Rather than adhering to the oath of office he took to defend and secure our country and uphold the Constitution, Attorney General Merrick has willingly refused uphold his oath and has instead overseen a denigration of the principles of our republic by weaponizing the Department of Justice and the FBI as a police force to punish anyone who opposes the Biden regime.  Attorney General Garland has lost the trust of the American people and has demonstrated that he is unfit to hold the office of Attorney General.  Therefore, Merrick Garland warrants impeachment!

Shockingly High Rate of Miscarriages Related to COVID-19 Vaccine

You won’t hear about this from the Fake News but despite repeated assurances from Joe Biden that the COVID-19 vaccines are safe, a shocking analysis of COVID-19 vaccine data was released this week showing 44% of pregnant women taking part in a clinical trial suffered miscarriages.  According to the data, 50 pregnant women took part in the Pfizer vaccine trial and 22 of them lost their babies, or 44%.  In case you’re wondering, the average miscarriage rate in the United States is around 10%.

For months, the Biden administration and Big Pharma have refused to publicly release vaccine trial data claiming it would take 75 years to do so.  Thankfully, earlier this year a U.S. district judge ordered the Biden administration release documents immediately.  A batch of the documents finally released revealed that the Biden administration and Big Pharma knew about the unusually high miscarriage rate for a nearly 18 months yet continued to recommend the COVID-19 injections for pregnant moms.  Who can forget Mr. Biden, while at a Pfizer manufacturing equipment facility, affirming: “The vaccines are safe.  Please, for yourself, your family, your community, this country, take the vaccine.” Worse, nurses and health care providers and even fair-minded journalists that attempted to draw attention to adverse reactions were shamed, canceled, banned and ridiculed by woke leftists.

Several months ago, I cosponsored H.R. 6133, legislation that would require the Food and Drug Administration publicly release ALL records of information submitted to the FDA regarding the authorization of emergency use of all COVID-19 vaccines within 100 days.  Last week I also introduced H.R. 1244, a resolution requesting the Secretary of the Health and Human Services provide the House of Representatives documents relating to any COVID-19 vaccines.

Federal agencies’ only priority should be the health and safety of Americans.  Yet, the Center for Disease Control’s web page STILL recommends the COVID-19 vaccination for pregnant women and women trying to get pregnant and that “evidence continues to build showing that COVID-19 vaccination during pregnancy is safe.”   Don’t believe me?  Click here.How much more do we not know about these injections?  I will not stop asking questions about these injections.

It’s Mail Time! 

I get thousands of letters every month and I love hearing from everyone! Here are few letters I received this week:

John S. from Prescott Valley, AZ shares:

Thank you for reminding us about the American citizens left behind in Afghanistan by Joe Biden and his incompetent generals. We all need to be reminded of those left behind – God knows what he was thinking but no rational man would have made the decision he did. It would be a good idea to bring this up in the House of Representatives from time to time to at least let those forgotten Americans know we are thinking of them. We are sorry we lost you as our representative but please keep sending me your newsletters. Keep up the great work and God Bless you!

Roger C. from Pine, AZ also shared his thoughts on Afghanistan:

Thank-you for remembering Afghanistan in your recent email. It makes me extremely sad what we did to those brave souls who trusted in the United States of America. It seems as though most of our leaders have already forgotten and moved on without holding those accountable for their actions. I often fly my flags at half-mast in remembrance of Afghanistan and Benghazi until justice is served. Thank-you for the work you’re doing.

Thanks, John and Roger.  Unfortunately, we will have to wait until the Republicans take the majority in November before Congress will hold any oversight hearings on the debacle in Afghanistan.  But I can assure you there will be hearings and, in the meantime, we cannot forget.

Donna O’D. from Cottonwood, AZ is concerned about the southern border and writes:

Thank you SO MUCH for sending me (and many other constituents) the truth about the disaster which is our southern border. I sent the information you gave to us to Sen. Sinema, asking her what she was doing about it. That’s all I know to do–keep hammering the truth to my elected officials in the hopes that they will get the message…and letting them know that they WILL be replaced if they do not start enforcing the U.S. Constitution and rule of law.

God bless and keep you. We love you.

Dear Donna, thanks for writing to me.  The invasion along the southern border is one of Mr. Biden’s biggest debacles since assuming office, and there are plenty of debacles we can point to.  Mr. Biden’s open border policies are a welcome invitation to criminals and drug cartels to cross into our country unchecked.  I’m happy to see that Arizona is now completing the wall themselves and will take border security into their hands in order to stop the invasion.

Bob A. from Prescott, AZ is all fired up for wrong reasons:

Paul Gosar, we have asked the FBI to indict, arrest, prosecute, convict, and imprison you for your seditious acts to overthrow the government, and supporting Insurrectionists. Trump is a traitor who commits treason by violating the Espionage Act and so are YOU for supporting the toxic, poisonous, twice-impeached Putin Puppet (just like you!!). SHAME ON YOU!!! RESIGN TODAY YOU TRAITOR!!!

Dear Bob, asking law enforcement to imprison your political opponents is classic communist or third world dictatorship action. You might be more comfortable in Venezuela or Cuba rather than Prescott.

Your hateful comments and vitriol bring up a serious issue.  The FBI and other law enforcement agencies have been politicized by Biden and Obama before him. The once vaunted FBI is now seen as a clown car of incompetent agents who fail to stop terrorists but attack citizens and do the Far Left’s bidding. 

Bob, thank you for showing your true colors.  As you salute the Ukrainian flag and spit on our flag, know that I’m not going anywhere.
