Trump Warns Border Crisis “Will Get Much Worse” As Biden Pleads With Migrants “Don’t Come Over”

Breitbart: Video clips of massive lines of migrants waiting to cross the southern border have gone viral, even as the MSM maintains its eery silence about the growing numbers of children winding up in border detention facilities – aka “cages”.

“A nation without God’s guidance is a nation without order. Happy are those who keep God’s law” Proverbs 29:18 ESV

As the border crisis unleashed by the Biden Administration worsens – even prompting the president to plead with migrants not to keep coming during an ABC News interview released last night – President Trump has returned for an interview with Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo where he laid into Biden for aggravating the border crisis by reinstating catch and release and rolling back other forms of enforcement.

During the prime-time interview, Trump told Bartiromo that he and Mexican President AMLO had fostered a “great relationship” (AMLO has been speaking out about the situation at the border, too, criticizing Biden for encouraging illegal immigration), and that AMLO and he had shared a joint interest in controlling illegal migration at the border.

Dalio Warns Democrats Making US “Inhospitable To Capitalism”, Saylor Says Bitcoin Is “The Obvious Solution”

Zero Hedge: “Cash is, and will continue to be, trash,” is how Bridgewater founder Ray Dalio sums up the future for Americans (and for that point the rest of the fiat-sponsored world), but in his latest letter, he warns that amid the mad money priting and fiscally-enabled inflation, bonds may also be ‘trash’… and in fact any US-dollar-denominated asset.

“The economics of investing in bonds (and most financial assets) has become stupid,” he said in his latest post on LinkedIn.

“Rather than get paid less than inflation why not instead buy stuff – any stuff – that will equal inflation or better?”

The charts below that go back to 1900 show these things – real bond yields, nominal bond yields, and nominal/real cash rates for the US, Europe, and Japan.

As Dalio has explained over the previous few years the credit/debt cycle is only one of the three really big cyclesRead More

Iran’s new ‘missile city’: rows of ballistic rockets in underground depot, challenge to the West

Daily Mail: Revolutionary Guards commander Hossein Salami visited the new missile base

  • Footage broadcast by state TV showed rows of missiles stashed at the facility 
  • He bragged that it is only a ‘small section’ of Iran’s ‘great and expansive’ missiles 

 “Persia, Cush and Put will be with them, all with shields and helmets” Ezekiel 38:5 NIV 

Iran has showed off what it says is a new high-tech ‘missile city’ with an underground stash of rockets operated by its Revolutionary Guards.

The base was inspected by Guards commander Hossein Salami who boasted that it makes up only a ‘small section of the great and expansive missile capability’ possessed by Tehran.

The Fed must walk a fine line Wednesday as financial markets hang in the balance

CNBC: The Federal Reserve concludes its two-day policy meeting Wednesday, with expectations for no change in interest rates.

  • However, Bank of America said the meeting will be “one of the most critical events for the Fed in some time.”
  • Chairman Jerome Powell and his fellow policymakers will have to convince investors that the current policy is correct and won’t change in response to a brighter economic outlook and major progress in the Covid-19 fight.

resurgent economy, percolating inflation and a stock market ripping higher don’t seem to make much of a recipe for easy monetary policy.

But that’s the position in which the Federal Reserve finds itself.

The challenge for the central bank this week will be to explain that position to investors and assure them that even if the status quo remains, that won’t provoke policymakers to change course, nor should they.

“The basic line is, ‘Everything looks a little better, but there’s still a lot of uncertainty and we’re not going to do anything soon

Joe Biden’s DHS Chief Says He Is Opening New Doors for Migrants

Breitbart: President Joe Biden’s border chief announced his plans Tuesday to expand economic migration into the United States, on top of the roughly one million people per year set by Congress.

“For years, the asylum system has been badly in need of reengineering,” said the March 16 statement by DHS secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. He continued:

In addition to improving the process by which unaccompanied children are placed with family or sponsors, we will be issuing a new regulation shortly and taking other measures to implement the long-needed systemic reforms.  We will shorten from years to months the time it takes to adjudicate an asylum claim while ensuring procedural safeguards and enhancing access to counsel.

Mayorkas is a lawyer and also a strong supporter of the unpopular claim the United States is a “Nation of Immigrants,” not of Americans. So he can argue his immigration expansion plans complies with the nation’s complex and loopholed immigration law, major parts of which have been written by agency regulators and pro-migration judges. Mayorkas wrote:

We are keeping our borders secure, enforcing our laws, and staying true to our values and principles …

I came to this country as an infant, brought by parents who understood the hope and promise of America.  Today, young children are arriving at our border with that same hope.  We can do this.

Rebel priests defy Vatican, vow to bless same-sex couples

Thompson Reuters: A dissident band of Roman Catholic priests leading a disobedience campaign against the Vatican said on Tuesday they would carry on blessing same-sex couples in defiance of Church orders.

 “For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their [i]women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. 27 Likewise also the [j]men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.” Romas 1:26-27

The Vatican said on Monday that priests cannot bless same-sex unions and that such blessings are not valid, in a ruling that disappointed gay Catholics who had hoped their Church was becoming more welcoming under Pope Francis.

In some countries, parishes and ministers have begun blessing same-sex unions in lieu of marriage, and there have been calls for bishops to institutionalise de facto such blessings. Conservatives in the 1.3 billion-member Roman Catholic Church have expressed alarm over such practices.

“We members of the Parish Priests Initiative are deeply appalled by the new Roman decree that seeks to prohibit the blessing of same-sex loving couples. This is a relapse into times that we had hoped to have overcome with Pope Francis,” the Austrian-based group said in a statement.

“We will — in solidarity with so many — not reject any loving couple in the future who ask to celebrate God’s blessing, which they experience every day, also in a worship service.”

The Parish Priests Initiative led by Father Helmut Schueller has long been a thorn in the side of the Vatican. The group wants Church rules changed so that priests can marry and women can become priests.

It has said it will break Church rules by giving communion to Protestants and divorced Catholics who remarry. Read More

Kosovo delivers on promise to open embassy in Jerusalem

JNS: Kosovo opened its embassy to Israel in Jerusalem on Sunday, joining the United States and Guatemala as the only countries with embassies in a city whose status is at the heart of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Then he shall confirm a covenant with many for one week;
But in the middle of the week
He shall bring an end to sacrifice and offering …” Daniel 9:27

Muslim-majority Kosovo promised to locate its embassy in Jerusalem when it established diplomatic ties with Israel last year under US sponsorship.

Kosovo’s Foreign Ministry said on Twitter that with the embassy’s opening, “the pledge given in the Oval Office today is finally fulfilled.”

Israel sees its new ties with Kosovo as part of its broader normalization with Arab and Muslim countries under agreements sponsored by former U.S. President Donald Trump. Read More

“It’s Over”: As Far As Wall Street Is Concerned, COVID Is History

Zero Hedge: At the end of January, when looking at the plunge in covid cases, deaths and hospitalizations we asked a question: “Is it almost over?”

We got the answer today, when BofA published its latest Fund Manager Survey (which as is the tradition every month, polled some 220 panelists with $630bn in AUM). The title said it all.

Of course, the social impact of the covid pandemic is far from over and in fact, now that the AstraZeneca/Oxford vaccine is on the ropes, it appears that Europe (for various political and monetary reasons) may be relapsing and get yet another round of lockdowns soon. But at least as far as markets are concerned, Covid is officially yesterday’s news and is no longer the biggest bogeyman on Wall Street.

Indeed, as the March BofA fund manager survey (which was taken between March 5 and 11) reveals, COVID-19 is no longer the #1 “tail risk” for the first time since Feb’20… Read more

‘Blood clots’: Major European nations suspend COVID-19 vaccine

WND: Amid reports of dangerous blood clots in some recepients, Germany, France, Italy and Spain became the latest nations to suspend use of AstraZeneca’s COVID-19 vaccine.

The company and European regulators insist the vaccine is not to blame, the Associated Press reported.

AstraZeneca argues there have been 37 reports of blood clots out of more than 17 million people vaccinated in the European Union and Britain.

However, 54,571 adverse events have been reported in Europe in association with the AstraZeneca vaccine, including at least 198 deaths. Read More
