Rasmussen reports:

More than half of voters consider it likely that next year’s election could be decided by illegal immigrants voting.

Fifty-one percent (51%) of Likely U.S. voters believe it is likely that the outcome of the 2024 presidential election will be influenced by illegal immigrants voting, including 28% who think it’s Very Likely. Forty-two percent (42%) don’t think the 2024 election will be influenced by the votes of illegal immigrants, including 22% who say it’s Not At All Likely.

The political left is obsessed with wordplay and the manipulation of definitions, this much is clear.  From their point of view, words are power because words have influence; that is to say, they think if they can control words they can also control perception, control the law and ultimately control the public.  This tactic may be somewhat delusional in that it assumes the public has no ability to discern nuance, but they have had some success with it in decades past so they stick with what they know.

Dozens, including at least three kids, furtively made their way through barbed wire in what appeared to be a moment when no border patrol or guards were in sight.

The Swedish Prime Minister announced new tough measures to deal with the ongoing gang crisis in the country.

After a brutally violent month in Sweden with shootings and bombings becoming almost a daily occurrence, Sweden has decided to crack down hard on the gangs responsible for the attacks.

This isn’t a new thing. Sweden has had problems with gangs for many years now. We have 61 no-go zones, some of which the police describe as “lawless areas”.

Things have become so bad that the police warned that the situation hasn’t been this dangerous since 1945.
