GOP Holding Biden's Overseas Aid as Bargaining Chip in Order to Get Massive Victory on Immigration

James Lankford (R-OK): “We’re not going to try to secure other countries and not secure ours…”

Under consideration by the Biden administration: Restricting the asylum and humanitarian parole process in exchange for approval of the president’s $106 billion year-end request for Ukraine and Israel and national security needs.

A core group of bipartisan senators have discussing options re: asylum and restricting Biden’s ability to tap a historic Eisenhower-era law in closed door meetings.

“House Speaker Mike Johnson told GOP senators behind closed doors that he needs real border security changes as part of Biden’s broader war funding package.”

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, during a DOD briefing said he told Johnson and Mitch McConnell that the GOP demand for border security “is extraneous to this, and it shouldn’t have been brought up.”

Arizona inmate charged with attempted murder after Derek Chauvin stabbing

John Turscak, 52, is also facing multiple assault charges as well as inflicting serious bodily injury with an "improvised knife".

Turscak told investigators he picked Black Friday for the apparently premeditated assault to symbolize the "Black Lives Matter".

He allegedly told the guards that immediately intervened that he would have killed Chauvin if guards hadn't reacted so fast.

He also allegedly told the FBI about the Black Friday symbolism and said he'd planned the attack for a month, after waiving his Miranda rights.
