So, America’s least popular reality show is still going strong. Yes, I’m talking about the Bachelor Southern Border. Millions of illegal, most of whom seem to be healthy young men, are walking away from all the other gals in the world to cozy up to the world’s most eligible bachelorette. That sexy lady in the long, flowing gown. Yeah, the Statue of Liberty. Or as I like to call her, a six. I mean, come on, we could have done better. So many hotter immigrants. So a migrant traveling from Venezuela will literally walk through six other countries before hitting the Texas border. How do they do that? I go five blocks and I’m exhausted. So is my driver. Now, if you’re so desperate that you have to flee your nation on foot without a visa or even a passport, aren’t you desperate enough not to be choosy? Wouldn’t you be satisfied with the first reasonable option? Not everyone gets to marry the prom queen. I mean, I was dumped by mine. Because she was too much into cheerleading practice and getting good grades. That, and I was 48.
VIDEO SHOWS DOZENS OF MIGRANTS DELIVERED TO BORDER BEFORE ENTERING US ILLEGALLY
But why come here when there are so many places before us with people who speak the language and have better food? Well, it’s simple. Roughly six seconds after his saggy, dented ass hit the Oval Office chair, Joe threw out a welcome mat that stretched from Washington to Tierra del Fuego. He may as well put up signs in Mexico saying, “Don’t stop! In a few miles, you’ll get free meals and sex changes if you murder someone.” I know. On top of that, the UN just presented a plan giving $1.6 billion to 17 Latin American countries, partially in the form of prepaid debit cards for migrants. Now, the UN gets 20% of its budget from us, so we’re actually paying the migrants to come here. And what do you know? Suddenly, the U.S. had roughly 10 million new contestants that decided we’re the one. Which is why it’s about time to replace the Statue of Liberty’s torch with a can of pepper spray.
Metaphorically! It’s an analogy. Not literally. I don’t think they make them that big. Because the White House has turned the Statue of Liberty into a $10 waterfront hooker. No surprise it takes progressivism to its inevitable endpoint. You don’t get Paradise. You get chaos. No person is illegal. Everyone is welcome. That sounds great in my hot tub until the entire nation of Bolivia shows up, then it sounds great. So what’s the damage? Well, we got a tug of war over razor wire, an event verging on a constitutional crisis. There’s also the well-deserved impeachment hearings for DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, who looks like a cross between James Carville and a Kaiser roll. Mayorkas is a border czar only a cartel could love. So go ahead, impeach away. But let’s not get distracted. The administration has painted themselves into a corner, which is why they are now changing the rules. Suddenly, we’re being told we must negotiate, that we’re close to achieving bipartisan legislation. Bipartisan. Makes you wonder who they’re trying to buy. After all, why the hell do we have to negotiate a border? Wasn’t that part of the original deal?
The truth is, we don’t need legislation. It’s not that hard. See, when the great orange wall known as Trump came into office, he instituted the policy called Remain in Mexico. Which, by the way, is exactly the same thing I told Menudo. And they did. But it was just that. An executive order, a policy issued by the president. All it took was a pen and a phone. Two things that Biden confuses all the time, which is why he has ink all over his face. So, like most brilliant ideas, Remain in Mexico, was simple and it worked. All it meant was that migrants traveling through Mexico to claim asylum here had to wait in Mexico for their cases to be heard in a U.S. court. Now, since progressives threw up every barrier to deportation they could think of, that could take three years. So, three years waiting around but now on the Mexican side of the border. Phony asylum claims would plummet when, instead of a luxury hotel, they get a motel six. No longer can you dream of trimming Nancy Pelosi’s hedges or screwing Arnold Schwarzenegger.
BIDEN ADMIN FORMALLY ENDS TRUMP’S ‘REMAIN IN MEXICO’ IMMIGRATION POLICY
And so, as expected, tent cities began to spring up down there. Mexico started looking as bad as downtown Seattle. And so quickly, Mexico started enforcing its own southern border to keep migrants out. Imagine that? Remain in Mexico was such a good idea, it created two different southern borders. But since this idea was Trump’s, it had to be undone. Which is like refusing to cash in a winning lottery ticket because you don’t like the cashier’s tie. The left hates Trump so much they come out against banging supermodels. Thank you. I think that deserves applause. So it’s not hard to see why the Republicans consider this supposed bipartisan border bill as dead on arrival as Joe himself. It should never have been alive to begin with. And to the horror of the media, Republicans aren’t falling for it. Which is why nutcases like Morning Joe now accuse Republicans and Trump of murder.
MSNBC’S JOE SCARBOROUGH: People, as Mitt Romney said, are suffering right now. Fentanyl flooding across the border, illegal immigrants streaming across the border, Democrats and Republicans in the Senate know how to stop it. And House Republicans and Donald Trump won’t do it. It is immoral.
What’s immoral, you gasbags, is your phony display of outrage now, after three years of this crap. Either those two are stupid or they’re plain stupid. But they’re not smart enough to pretend to be this dumb. It is deep. Thankfully, unlike those bozos, we’re not falling for it. The point is, Remain in Mexico still works, and just as easily as Trump did it and Biden undid it, Biden can redo it. I mean, it’s not like we’re asking him to tie his shoes or acknowledge his own grandkid. No negotiations, no legislation. We don’t need to spend more millions on the border. That’s b*****. Hell, if you need money, take what you made from selling off the border wall and buy yourself a nice new pen. Then practice signing your name if you can remember it.
A fallen Israeli soldier saved over one hundred soldiers and civilians near Gaza after Hamas terrorists attacked his base.
First Lieutenant Yannai Kaminka, 20, from Tzur Hadassah, Israel, was killed in battle defending the Zikim base against the first wave of Hamas terrorists at approximately 8:13 a.m. on Saturday, October 7.
The Israel-Hamas war has had a devastating impact on Israeli citizens. Elana Kaminka, Yannai’s mother, told Fox News Digital that most families have at least one person who has been called up from reserve duty. Older adults and teenagers who’ve already completed their compulsory service have also been asked back to service.
“There’s nobody in Israel who doesn’t know somebody who was killed on October 7,” Elana said.

Yannai, Elana’s oldest child, would have been 20 years old on October 30. She and her husband Eyal have three other kids, Liam, Timna and Nevo. Both Elana and Yannai are dual American and Israeli citizens.
“He wasn’t very old, but he had maturity in a deep, very deep personal ethics that I think is unusual for someone his age,” Elana said of Yannai. “He really believed in seeing the humanity in each and every person that he met.”
Yannai was not a very chatty son. He instead preferred to be on the sidelines observing and conversing with people one-on-one. The family joked that he had x-ray vision because Yannai, from a young age, was constantly analyzing, trying to figure out who a person was, understand their pain and find ways to connect personally.
In high school, Yannai worked as a scout leader. Many of his former scouts told stories of Yannai. During bus trips, all the other counselors would sit up front while the kids sat in the back.
“He’d just come and sit down next to one of the kids in his group and just have a conversation with them. And one of the kids said to me that’s the first time that an adult’s talked to me like that,” Elana said.

Yannai would later do a year of civilian service before the Army. His ability to connect with strangers and loose acquaintances extended to his work with at-risk youth attempting to navigate difficult neighborhoods. Kids recalled that Yannai would spend hours talking to the kids but never talked about himself.
He preserved that skill during his career in the Army.
“The Army isn’t the type of framework that encourages like these deep interpersonal connections. It’s very rigid and very harsh,” Elans said. “He didn’t accept that. He told us when he was a basic trainee, he said, the commanders I respect are the ones who don’t le flaunt their authority in their ranks but who really see you and care about you.”
Though Yannai eventually moved on to platoon commander, second lieutenant and first lieutenant, he often spent substantial time asking soldiers about their friends, family and what they wanted to accomplish. Sometimes, he even made visits to the homes of his trainees.
“I think he saw himself in more of a parental role,” Elana surmised. “He was a good soldier, and he did his job as well. But he didn’t end it that way. He really looked at the personal side of and the human side who he worked with.”
Yannai served on the Zikim base in the north area of the Gaza Strip on October 7. That weekend, the guard posts were mainly manned by trainees who had been drafted in the middle of August. The base also had very little manpower because most people had gone home for the holiday. Some sergeants helped with the posts as per requirements.
“At 6:30 in the morning, the base came under heavy artillery fire. They said afterward they found something like 35 missile heads within the base’s perimeter. So heavy, heavy artillery fire,” Elana said.
According to protocol, everyone inside the base, including the trainees and staff, ran to the bomb shelters. There was also a religious family who was inside that had been visiting.
Outside, civilians were on the beach throwing a party. Some were killed immediately when Hamas attacked, while others ran from the coastline into the base perimeter.
Once inside the shelter, the staff sergeants realized the trainees could not handle the situation and took over their posts.
“So, all the officers and sergeants put themselves on the front line. It wasn’t a situation where the officers were sitting in the comfy room and putting the grunts at risk. It was the opposite. They protected their soldiers,” Elana said.
The commanders soon find themselves under heavy fire from three Hamas cells around the perimeter. The team communicated using WhatsApp, firing off messages to call for medics and report grenades. One of the sergeants was then hit. She was seriously injured and remains in critical condition in the hospital. Another sergeant then filled the position before getting injured.
“Yannai left his post and ran there to give them the backup. He was there, him another officer and two sergeants, and they came under heavy attack by a Hamas cell,” Elana said. “They fought for quite a long time. They started sending out, you know, calls again, ‘ammo, ammo.’ They needed more ammo. Then, the last message was at 8:13 a.m. One of them wrote, ‘I’m injured.’ And then the connection cut off.”
All four of them were killed. In total, three officers (Adir Abudi, Or Mozes, and Adar Ben Simon), two sergeants (Eden Levy and Omri Niv Fierstein) and one trainee (Neria Nagri) were also killed in the attack.
Recollections from the IDF suggest that the team took out one to three Hamas terrorists before getting hit with an explosive.
One of the surviving terrorists ran inside the base and was confronted by the trainees. The Hamas agent killed one trainee before another grabbed him. The trainee was shot in the arm in the scuffle, while another was able to neutralize the terrorist.

The actions of Yannai and his comrades saved the lives of over 90 trainees and approximately 30 other soldiers and civilians inside of Zikim. As a result of their actions, Kibbutz Zikim, which is adjacent to the base, was able to prepare. There were no casualties in the kibbutz.
“As a parent, I would have put myself in front of danger to save his life. I think that was his perception, that his trainees meant so much to him, and he took so much responsibility for them,” Elana said. “He put himself in the line of danger to keep them protected, and he succeeded.”
The family would later go to the hospital to look for Yannai, where the IDF informed them that he had been killed. While the pain lingers heavily, Elana said the news was somewhat of a “mercy,” noting that many families have been left without answers and uncertainty about what happened to their loved ones.
Yannai was a talented musician. He would often compose and play music on the piano. Elana said he still had much to express and give to the world.
AMERICAN IN ISRAEL SAYS HAMAS ABDUCTING HER FAMILY IS A FATE WORSE THAN DEATH
“We still love him so deeply,” Elana added. “It’s like a car with a wheel missing. You know, there’s a part that’s not there, and you can’t–nothing can fix that.”
Following his death, Elana learned a new story about Yannai.
Elana’s husband, Eyal, is a poet whose work was often given a critical eye by Yannai.
“Sometimes he’d say, that one sucked. That wasn’t good. And, you know, I think that was also proof of how we had an open relationship. Like he felt comfortable to say that, you know, it was okay. Like he could be honest,” Elana recalled.
But there was one poem that Yannai found special.
After Yannai’s passing, the family learned that he read the poem to civilians and those in his basic training several times. He had also painted the poem’s last line on the wall in his platoon and etched the words into dog tag covers for his trainees.
“Only at night do you see the stars,” it read.

There are so many options for business credit cards out there, it can be completely overwhelming to figure out which ones will work best for your business. First, you have to figure out what you actually qualify to get. Then, you have to determine if you need cash back rewards, dining rewards, an air miles business credit card, hotel rewards, or whatever other option you may have.
If your credit is good, you are going to have lots of rewards options. The thing is, you want to pick the card with the best rates and terms that has the most useful rewards option for you. Sometimes it’s a no brainer, and sometimes it’s not. If you travel a lot for business, an air miles business credit card may be the perfect way to show your business some love.
Here are 5 ways to love your business and share the love with air miles you earn from your business credit card.
Learn more here and get started with building business credit with your company’s EIN and not your SSN.
It seems obvious, but many business owners do not realize how much of a savings this can be if used properly. If you use your card frequently and earn the most miles possible, you could feasibly save thousands of dollars a year in business travel. Of course, you would need to determine if you travel enough to make this the most profitable choice when compared to whatever other choices you have. If you do not travel for work frequently but you do frequent business dinners, dining rewards may work better.
If you travel often though, the savings from an air miles business credit card could be significant.
Here is an exciting truth. You do not have to use air miles from a business credit card for business travel. That means you can earn air miles on business purchases and then use them for personal travel.
If you do a lot of personal travel, or if you want to travel, this is a way you can use an air miles business credit card to show yourself some love. Business expenses are typically large enough to earn lots of miles, which can relate to major vacation savings for you. So, even if you do not travel a lot for business, this could be a good option.
Here’s another tip. You do not have to use miles earned from an air miles business credit card on yourself. You can use them to purchase a ticket for someone else. Therefore, if you need to fly in a potential client or customer for a meeting, you can cover that expense with air miles.
This can happen in a couple of ways. You can transfer air miles to someone else, but there are usually limits on how many, and there are fees. You can also purchase a ticket for someone else directly through your air miles account. This usually will be the option that offers the most savings, but do your research to be certain it works best in your situation.
In danger of losing a current client? Need to show them some love to get them to stick around? Air miles and free travel can be a great incentive. Or, if you just want to show some good will toward all your customers in general, you could do a giveaway. Offer a round trip ticket for two for Valentine’s Day to a lucky winner!
Now, what do you do with all that savings? Reinvest in your business! Every penny you save is money you can put back into your business to grow and expand.

It’s hard to say. There are tons to choose from. The one that will work best for you and your business will depend on a number of factors. You need to research all of your options and make an informed decision. Remember also that limits, fees, interest rates, bonuses, and other details can change frequently, so be sure to check with your credit card company now and then to see where you stand.
Here are some options to consider.
The Capital One ® Spark® Miles for Business card has an initial annual cost of $0 for the first year. After that, it rises to $95. The regular APR is 20.99%. Of course, this is variable due to the prime rate.
Amazingly, you can get unlimited double miles on all purchases, with no restrictions. Earn 5x miles on rental cars and hotels if you book via Capital One Travel.
Furthermore, you can get an introductory bonus of 50,000 miles. Of course, you do have to meet the minimum spend requirement of $4,500 in the first 3 months after opening the account.However, this is a fairly low hurdle compared with the spending that can be required from other credit cards.
Another great option is the Ink Business Preferred ℠ Credit Card. You pay a yearly fee of $95, and the regular APR is 15.99- 20.499%, variable. Sadly, there is no introductory APR deal.
Get 100,000 bonus points after spending $15,000 in the first three months after account opening. This works out to $1,250 toward travel rewards if you redeem through Chase Ultimate Rewards.
Also, get 3 points per dollar of the first $150,000 you spend with this card. That includes purchases on travel, shipping, internet, cable, and phone services. Plus, it includes marketing purchases made with social media sites and search engines.
You can get 25% more in travel redemption when you redeem for travel via Chase Ultimate Rewards.
For no yearly fee while still getting travel rewards, check out this card from Bank of America. It has no yearly fee and a 0% introductory APR for purchases throughout the first 9 billing cycles. Afterwards, its regular APR is 12.24- 22.24% variable.
You can get 30,000 bonus points when you make a minimum of $3,000 in internet purchases within 90 days of your account opening. You can redeem these points for a $300 statement credit towards travel purchases.
Learn more here and get started with building business credit with your company’s EIN and not your SSN.
Get unlimited 1.5 points for every $1 you spend on all purchases, anywhere, each time, no matter how much you spend.
Also earn 3 points per every dollar spent when you reserve your travel with the Bank of America ® Travel Center. There is no limit to the number of points you can get and points do not expire.
Even better, you can earn up to 75% more points on every purchase if you have a corporate checking account with Bank of America and qualify for Preferred Rewards for Business.
If you qualify for an air miles business credit card, it can be a great tool. It’s a way to handle business expenses and save money at the same time. However, this only works if you tend to travel frequently, either personally or for business. Or, of course, if you can use the miles as an incentive of some sort.
If you do not qualify, it may be time to do something about that. Try asking a business credit expert for help. You will be glad you did.
