Russia Orders U.S. Senior Diplomat to Leave Country Amid Tensions
Tensions among the United States, Russia and Ukraine are not subsiding. President Joe Biden and his administration have vigorously and repeatedly told Americans to leave the region, likely trying to avoid a catastrophic result similar to that in Afghanistan.
President Biden was even so kind as to tell Americans if they don’t leave and get stuck, they will not be “rescued” after not listening. In the latest news, Russia has expelled the second-most senior American diplomat at the U.S. Embassy in Moscow.
On Thursday, a State Department spokesman said “Russia’s action against our [deputy chief of mission] was unprovoked and we consider this an escalatory step and are considering our response,” referring to Russia ordering U.S. deputy chief of mission Bart Gorman to leave the country despite having a valid visa.
National Review reports the expulsion comes after President Biden said he believes Russia could invade Ukraine in the next several days. Biden has said roughly 150,000 Russian troops have gathered at the Ukraine border.

Russia claims it has decreased the troop presence, but NATO and U.S. officials say there is “no evidence” of such claims. “Every indication that we have is that they are prepared to go into Ukraine, attack Ukraine,” Biden said. “My sense is it will happen within the next several days,” he added.
“We call on Russia to end its baseless expulsions of U.S. diplomats and staff and to work productively to rebuild our missions,” the State Department spokesman added. “Now more than ever, it is critical that our countries have the necessary diplomatic personnel in place to facilitate communication between our governments.”

Illegal migrants in custody reaches new high: ‘We must sleep at night knowing we are the reason this nation is in trouble’
An exclusive report by the Daily Caller News Foundation reveals the number of illegal migrants in the custody of Border Patrol nationwide has surpassed 22,000 as of Tuesday evening. The Daily Caller exclusively obtained internal Customs and Border Protection (CBP) data providing the information.
The report also shows how extremely fast the numbers are rising. As of the evening of August 10 Border Control had nearly 17,000 illegal migrants in custody, up from 7,696 two months prior on June 8. Just this week there were 8,923 migrant encounters by CBP on Monday and 7,730 illegal migrants released into the country, according to the new data.
Democratic El Paso Mayor Oscar Leeser said Saturday that the city is at its “breaking point,” while Democratic Eagle Pass Mayor declared a state of emergency in recent days. Agents have also become increasingly vocal about what they are enduring. One agent stationed along the northern border said “Our duties now revolve around virtual processing and the facilitation of the inflow of illegal migration into the United States. The scenario unfolds with agents stationed at their respective posts, immersed in virtual paperwork, striving to cope with the overwhelming surge of illegal migrants, far outpacing our capacity to process them efficiently. This has rendered our border exposed and vulnerable.”
“In my extensive 13-year tenure, I find myself grappling with a reality I never envisaged. Our current circumstances defy logic; established policies, our solemn oaths, and the very essence of our professional calling have been eroded. Instead, we find ourselves relegated to mere affirmations from higher authorities, commending our efforts. The days of border patrol, the pursuit of illicit substances—what we colloquially term ‘dope’—have yielded to a role resembling that of caretakers,” the agent added.
“We are upset because what they are making us do is break our oath we pledged. They have taken our job and made it a joke. We have endangered the country in so many ways. We must sleep at night knowing we are the reason this nation is in trouble,” another agent said.

Presidents did NOT leave Americans behind until Bengazi. Now Joe Biden leaves Americans behind… again.
The weakness of the EU and of Biden created this horrific situation where death counts will be staggering. Will America ignore the reality of what is happening just like we did in Hitler’s Germany?
It is disturbing that Joe cares more about electric cars than he does about human life…

What a disgustingly coward nation… but what else to expect from a nation with a corrupt, decrepit pedo-president and a corrupt government dominated by the kipa-gang?

Do you remember you were Stalin’s enthused allies during WWII? And you abandoned 350M people including Ukraine to become slaves of your ally? Do you remember how many Americans died defending not American but british and jewish interests? Do you remember you were AWOL in 56 when Hungarians were expecting assistance, or in 68 and the Spring of Prague? You’ve been a disaster in Vietnam – and left many of yours behind… you’ve been everywhere a disaster! Do you remember you americans have funded the Wuhan laboratory research? Do you remember Polansky, Allen, Weinstein, Epstein, Maxwell and so many more are/were american pedo-rapist-jews and your president is a pedo-rapist judeo-irish-catholic like so many of your clergy? Since when have you americand gave a … on human life in other than hypocrite way? NEVER!
