Sara Carter: The Tragedy Is We’ve Given Our Enemies Power By Fighting Each Other

Sara A. Carter called the number of riots, looting sprees, and violence sprees that have broken out across the country in response to the death of George Floyd a “tragedy,” during an appearance on Fox News’ “Ingraham Angle” Friday.

“My seven-year-old daughter asked me, you know the other day ‘mommy, why are we fighting each other? I thought daddy fought the bad guys overseas’ because my husband fought in Afghanistan and Iraq, and he was wounded overseas fighting terrorists. And I said to her, you know, this is a part of our history right now, a part of our nation, we’re struggling to get through this,” Carter explained.

Moreover, Carter pointed to some people in the U.S. education system that have indoctrinated America’s youth into ‘leftist’ values that she described as “anti-American.”

Carter, who’s reported in many warzones overseas, added that in battle “it didn’t matter what color you were, it didn’t matter what religion you were, you stood alongside each other and you fought a common enemy to protect this country.”

Carter said, “I really want us all to just take a step back and take a deep breath and realize that this is the greatest nation on earth. That so many people struggled to get here, fight to get here, died to get here to be a part of this great nation with a great judicial system with a wonderful, wonderful basis in our constitution.”

“And I think it’s a real tragedy that we’re not seeing that now. We’re not seeing it taught in our schools and we’re not seeing it in our city streets,” she added.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams Announces End to Controversial Migrant Debit Card Program

Published

The world is watching in amazement as so much is changing incredibly quickly once former President Donald Trump was re-elected. Among the decisive actions was progressive Democrat New York City Mayor Eric Adams announcing he will end its contentious migrant voucher program, which provided prepaid debit cards worth up to $18,500 for migrant families.

The decision was announced Thursday by City Hall, and comes as Mayor Eric Adams has taken a more critical stance toward the city’s migrant policies and has shown openness to collaborating with former President Donald Trump on immigration reforms.

The Daily Mail reports that the program, which distributed over $3.2 million in total cash value to around 2,600 families, aimed to assist migrant households in purchasing necessities. Initially, the program was designed to cover expenses at supermarkets and bodegas; a family of four with two children could receive up to $350 per week, depending on the children’s ages.

However, the program’s future grew uncertain after City Comptroller Brad Lander removed Adams’s authority to make no-bid contracts for emergency initiatives, such as the $400,000 contract granted to the financial services company MoCaFi to operate the program, adds the Daily Mail. William Fowler, a spokesperson for City Hall, confirmed that the program will end at the close of the year but left open the possibility that it could be restarted in the future—though this time through an open bidding process.

Critics of the program, including Texas Governor Greg Abbott and rapper 50 Cent, questioned why resources were allocated to migrants over struggling New Yorkers. Abbott labeled the initiative “insanity,” arguing it misplaces the city’s priorities. 50 Cent, originally from Queens, expressed his confusion on Instagram, posting, “WTF Mayor Adams call my phone…maybe TRUMP is the answer.”

Supporters of the voucher program argue that the initiative offsets strain on local resources caused by the recent surge in migrants, allowing families to spend money directly in local stores rather than the city providing boxed food and supplies. Adams has defended the program, claiming it saves New York City $600,000 a month, or $7.2 million annually, by redirecting funds into the local economy.

Joseph Borelli, the City Council’s Republican minority leader, acknowledged that the city does save some funds through this model but questioned the overall spending on migrant support, particularly as it becomes a growing political issue.

Fowler added, “We will continue to implement and learn from innovative pilot programs like the immediate response cards program as we care for hundreds of new arrivals every week.”
