The Trump witch hunts are a plot to distract Americans from Biden's failed administration.

It's no question that President Trump has a better track record than Joe Biden.

Saturday marked the one-year anniversary since the US House passed H.R. 2 – the strongest border security bill in US history. But Senate Democrats refuse to sign the bill and Biden won’t get behind it.

Biden’s Border Crisis is bursting wide open, just weeks after my first visit to the US border. Where are the Democrats? Not a SINGLE one showed up to a special field hearing in Arizona this week. Bombshells are dropping. Does anyone hear? Does anyone care? And WHERE are the 85,000+++ MISSING CHILDREN who came across the border?

Every American should witness firsthand, as I did, the parade of illegal immigrants flooding across the southern border of the United States. It will shake you to your core. When you see it with your eyes and feel it in your bones you know the truth: America is changing forever. The real shockwaves are just starting to hit.

Border patrol agents are now testifying that the Biden regime has forced them into silence. Speak out, and lose your job. Speak against the criminals pouring in, the women and children being trafficked and the drug cartels gaining ground—and you can just retire early. With no pension. I heard similar stories…

For this particular story, I am traveling on what seems to be an unbelievable journey to the Arizona/US border with Matt and Mercedes Schlapp, their CPAC team and members of Kari Lake’s US Senate campaign. On a bright and sunny day, we arrive in Nogales, Arizona. Escorted by friendly and knowledgeable ex-border patrol agents, we head down dirt roads and dodge potholes until suddenly, we turn a sharp corner. Trump’s big Border Wall rises from the earth to meet us. We have arrived.

The wall is breathtaking. Comforting. Foreboding. Much taller and more secure than the adjacent Obama wall, which is easy to scale. A joke. We travel alongside Trump’s impressive barrier, stretching for miles in the middle of nowhere.  All is calm. For a few moments.

“There they are!” our guide suddenly announces right on cue, and we pull over. About 50 yards away, dozens of migrants are pouring through a massive breach in the barrier, where Biden left the Border Wall unfinished.

Young, well-dressed fighting age men and women with children and cell phones confidently and assertively stroll into America. They smile and wave to our cameras. They tell us they’re going to see relatives and friends and coming to find jobs. This group is traveling from Guatemala and Central America.

One place they are NOT going— to the LEGAL port of entry up the road. No, that is NOT required under Biden’s America. No background checks, no DNA tests, no special investigations to uncover potential human trafficking cases—those procedures under the Trump administration were REVERSED as soon as Biden took office.

The border patrol agents are directed to give the illegals a special bag of supplies and usher them to their next destination. We know they receive everything from money to cell phones to mopeds, hotel rooms and airline tickets. All free—funded by US taxpayers. They can apply for asylum and if rejected, they are to be deported. But they are not.

Most board charter buses and head to nearby migrant camps that stretch for blocks by the Tucson airport. See it for yourself.

Then you notice: the migrant camps are heavily guarded by barbed wire fencing AND security— but the border is NOT? Certainly, Biden’s America is NOT America First.

Around the corner, parents tell me they are afraid of strangers lingering around local parks at their children’s soccer games. They notice nearby hotels are packed with migrants. They testify how they have lost children, multiple children, to fentanyl and drug overdoses as poison pours across the border and crime soars.

And now, reports say that Biden officials have ceded authority of a New Mexico mountaintop to a Mexican drug cartel. Are we really living in America?

The worst shockwave hit as I arrived at the airport to head home. Illegals entered through an expedited security line next to me, carried special papers, then sat at my gate and boarded my plane. I held my breath. I know Biden is now welcoming Gaza refugees, who have voted in favor of Hamas terrorists.

The war on our border, against our communities, our children and US taxpayers is nothing short of a full scale invasion of our country. The Biden regime and Congress are complicit and have blood on their hands. They refuse to shut down the border. They are aiding and abetting our enemies.  This is treason.

Since starting at CPAC, I have greatly enjoyed my time here and have learned a lot. My role has given me numerous opportunities to educate myself about policy matters of great import to all sorts of industries and fields. I have been able to keenly develop my ability to comprehend legislation and the workings of legislatures at both the state and the national level. At the same time, my knowledge of critical business tools has profoundly grown. My experiences here have helped me learn about how to manage large sets of data on Excel and in Canva. The folks that work at CPAC are also very nice and are invested in the success of their co-workers and the organization. I’ve found the general work environment to be inviting and of a good, productive humor. CPAC also offers its employees many leadership opportunities, a privilege that has helped me grow as I have navigated through life after college. I would strongly recommend that folks apply for a position here.

American tax dollars are being used by the Biden Administration to reward left-wing NGOs who funnel illegal immigrants into the country.

President Donald Trump is bearing the brunt of the Left’s lawfare and putting the full extent of it on public display. Mike Davis of the Article III Project, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, North Carolina Congressman Dan Bishop, and Stephen Miller America of First Legal sat down at a CPAC in DC 2024 panel to discuss strategies to combat such lawfare.

The panel of legal experts suggests conservatives start by electing good attorneys general on the state level.

As Miller commented, “The only way out of this nightmare is going to be filling every legal office in this country with Dan Bishops and Ken Paxtons.”

From there, attorneys general can follow the lead of Ken Paxton and Dan Bishop and reign in big tech’s monopolies and censorship and establish additional safeguards to protect Americans’ constitutional rights and the integrity of the justice system.

Paxton, who was subjected to lawfare by members of his own party, issues the warning that while conservatives are fighting lawfare, they need to be on guard for attacks from all sides, “We need to be very aware that it’s not just the liberal Democrats that are doing this but some in our own party and we need to hold them accountable.”

The Left’s lawfare is spreading deep roots across the nation, and conservatives need to create a network of legal officials with integrity to match.

“We’ve got to lean. We’ve also got to use every tool at our disposal to fight them back,” urged Bishop.

Coleton Furlow covers antisemitic protests on college campuses, the Met Gala, and more on the second episode of Battle Belongs.

Furlow ‘s updates on antisemitic protests on college campuses include the resignation of Cornell University’s president and the revelation that most of the Columbia University protests were not even students but were hired professional protestors. Representative Andy Ogles has proposed a solution to these protests with a bill that punishes protestors by sending them to Gaza for six months for community service.

Ogles’ proposal is more proactive against terrorism than President Joe Biden who though has publicly appeared to support Israel has not given them full material and military support they need to end the war and end Hamas.

Furlow commented, “We are America...We do not support terrorists. We do not stand with terrorists. In fact, we stand on terrorists’ necks. That’s what we do. We annihilate terrorism. Terrorism has no place in America. Terrorism has no place in the world. So, why is Joe Biden siding with terrorists? I want an answer.”

Furlow also commented in the episode on a viral video of a couple renting the womb of woman and then ripping the distressed newborn baby from the arms of its mother, the Met Gala or what he calls, “the worst costume party of all time,” and on hate mail from commenters on social media.

April was Second Chance Month, a month dedicated to celebrating and advancing criminal justice reform programs, and CPAC Foundation’s Nolan Center for Justice closed out the month with a fireside chat and by participating in Clean Slate Initiative’s Clean Slate Act Champions Roundtable.

Nolan Center for Justice joined criminal justice reform advocates, Representatives Kelly Armstrong and Lisa Blunt Rochester, and more at the Clean Slate Act Champions Roundtable to celebrate the progress of the Clean Slate Act. The Clean Slate Act is a bipartisan effort to seal the criminal records of non-violent offenders, making it easier for them to find gainful employment and rebuild their lives as productive citizens.

As Armstrong summarized, “The Clean Slate Act is bipartisan legislation that aims to remove barriers to give Americans with low-level and nonviolent criminal records a second chance to find meaningful employment.”

The act was first introduced in Congress in 2021 by Rochester and was introduced again in April of 2023. The bill has since gained two cosponsors from both the Democrat and Republican sides and has spread across the country on the state level to twelve different states.

Nolan Center for Justice continued the discussion about second chance policies by hosting a fireside chat with Re-entry Working Group, Prison Fellowship Advocacy, and Safer Foundation. Together they celebrated a successful Second Chance Month and talked re-entry policies that will support offenders’ successful transition back into society.

Nolan Center General Counsel David Safavian said of the event on X: “Had the opportunity to discuss the importance of supervision reform, rehabilitation and re-entry with a room full of Capitol Hill staffers. Why are these things important? Because if we can keep ex-offenders from re-offending, we make every neighborhood safer.”

Former Pennsylvania Senator and Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum powerfully called for religious revival in America at CPAC Hungary 2024.

After World War II, America fell into the dangerous trap of naive contentment. Americans took for granted that they lived in the greatest and freest country on earth and forgot that freedom requires hard work to maintain. As such, they let their guard down and allowed Leftism to slowly creep into the country.

“Who needs an invading army when you can use the freedom in the West to systematically gain control of every lever of power, unions, schools, colleges, news media, entertainment, social media, big business, and increasingly the Church to indoctrinate masses to believe their lies? How did they do this? Well, the most benign answer is the axiom, ‘Evil triumphs when good men and women do nothing,’” explained Santorum.

They became lax in their faith and their family lives. They entrusted their children to schools and universities infected with the disease of Leftism and failed to pass on conservative values to them. As time went on, conservatives isolated themselves from the rest of the country rather than taking the conservative message out into the world and bringing more people into their ranks.

“We stopped participating in social groups, including churches, clubs, and institutions that shape society, but not on the Left. They joined, contributed, and they organized. We became self-sufficient, disconnected, and blissfully ignorant of the dramatic changes in our institutions and in our culture,” recalled Santorum.

Though the Left made great headway in overhauling American society and culture, it’s not too late to reverse course. But doing that requires conservatives to return to their roots. They need to place God at the center of their values and politics and return to a core Christian morality that respects life and defends the family. Hungary is a light in the darkness to Americans, demonstrating that a cultural revival is possible. To achieve that cultural revival in America, Americans need to start with themselves.

“Do the hard work of strengthening your faith, committing to your spouse, and forming your children in truth, and you and your country will triumph in more ways than one,” advised Santorum.

Revival starts with each person looking in the mirror and practicing what they preach.

Washington, D.C. has become corrupted with career, self-interested, and weak politicians. The Republican Party especially has been afflicted for years with disloyal, lukewarm conservatives. Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz lets those swamp creatures like Paul Ryan, Kevin McCarthy, and Mike Pence know that there days in Washington are numbered.

Gaetz and his staunch conservative colleagues are draining the swamp and challenging the status quo by caring about the priorities of average Americans and bringing common sense to Congress.

“I actually want orderly things like budgets that balance, single-subject spending bills, term limits, block grant Medicaid, drill for oil, export liquified natural gas to anyone willing to buy it in dollars, demand that, I don’t know, if the government wants to spy on Americans, they should have to get a warrant and we should secure the southern border,” stated Gaetz.

Republicans still have a lot of work to do. Many lukewarm representatives still need to be ousted and many others need to learn to take a stand for the principles on which they campaigned.

Watch all of Gaetz’s comments from the CPAC 2024 stage on Rumble @CPAC.
