Ladies and gentlemen, our border agents, the very frontline defenders of our great republic, are on high alert. The reason? According to exclusive information provided to the Washington Examiner, there’s been a discovery of a menacing attempt to collect their personal home addresses. And the motive here is as clear as it’s diabolical: to torment and torture our federal law enforcement officers and, yes, their families.

Amidst an electrifying and profoundly concerning situation in Gaza, the prevailing threat of a new Middle East conflict has cast an ominous shadow across the international community. An ultimatum from Israel, delineating a mere 24-hour window for the evacuation of 1.1 million Palestinian civilians from North Gaza, is arguably propelling the already teetering region toward an abyss of potential calamity.

In the Senate, a staunch defender emerges from Alabama, Senator Tommy Tuberville. His audacious move to halt military confirmations paints a picture of a man unyielding in his convictions. Since February, this blockade has been primarily against the Pentagon’s policy that would see taxpayers cover the cost for service members’ out-of-state travel to access abortions.

Ladies and gentlemen, empathizing with loss, understanding the plight of those in anguish is a cornerstone of compassionate leadership. The question, though, is – when does empathy tip into misplaced analogy, and does President Joe Biden navigate these waters adeptly? The recent horrific events, which led to hundreds of Israelis, including women and children, being ruthlessly murdered by Hamas, beg this examination.

President Trump, even out of office, stands unwavering against threats to American safety, promising the reinstatement of his travel ban, a potent barricade against terror-afflicted countries. In 2017, through an executive order, the ban strategically halted most legal immigration from nations like Iran, Libya, Syria, and others, in a bid to staunch the infiltration of radical terrorists onto American soil.
