$10K Hit on a Border Chief—How Deep Does the Gang Connection Go?
A Latin Kings gang member has been arrested for allegedly putting a $10,000 hit on a U.S. Border Patrol chief—proof that Biden’s border crisis just turned deadly. Governor Whitmer signs a new state budget cutting taxes on tips, overtime, and Social Security while quietly slipping in the nation’s highest EV fees. And in Washington, the White House plans to use tariff revenue to keep food flowing to 7 million moms and babies during the shutdown. Meanwhile, newly declassified documents show Joe Biden personally buried a CIA memo on his son’s Ukraine dealings—raising fresh corruption questions.
