Biden Built a Border Crisis
Biden Built a Border Crisis so far 2022 has been a record-breaking year for illegal immigration. By mid-August, the number of undocumented arrivals had surpassed two million, according to Fox News, a significant increase over last year’s 1.7 million.
Biden also set records for illegal drug trafficking across the US-Mexico border, with over 12,000 pounds of fentanyl – the opioid driving the country’s overdose epidemic – seized by the CBP, according to a memo circulating in the Senate. Largely due to the rise of fentanyl in the US’ drug supply, overdoses have become the leading cause of death for Americans between the ages of 18 and 45. This has brought the country’s average life expectancy down to its lowest point since 1996.
The Biden administration has come under fire for its failure to secure the southern border. The president’s reversal of Trump-era policies aimed at curtailing unchecked immigration has seen border crossings surge under his watch, spiking from 72,000 in December 2020, Trump’s last month in office, to 173,000 in March 2021.
The presidents of Guatemala and El Salvador have laid the blame for their citizens streaming across the Mexican border at the US president’s feet.
The White House has attempted to revise its public stance on illegal immigration as Americans grow increasingly alarmed with the flood of new arrivals. Vice President Kamala Harris traveled to Guatemala to tell those preparing to make the voyage “don’t come” after avoiding the border for over a year since being named responsible for it.
However, the administration’s policies continue to send mixed messages. Rather than address the grievances of Republican governors who condemn dumping buses and planes full of illegals in their states, Biden’s team has accused them of crimes against humanity for shipping the migrants to Democrat-run cities instead. The administration was even found to be funding legal aid for immigrants fighting deportation, according to a Fox News investigation.
More illegal immigrants than ever are pouring into the US via its border with Mexico, according to data from the Department of Homeland Security, cited by the Washington Free Beacon this week.
The documents appear to show that last month was the worst September in history for migrant crossings. Between 7,300 and 7,500 migrants crossed the border every day during the month, according to US Customs and Border Protection (CBP).
The preliminary numbers from the CBP indicate between 219,000 and 225,000 migrants crossed the border from Mexico in September, according to the Washington Free Beacon. Either figure would break last year’s standing record of 192,000 illegal crossings.
“These record-breaking numbers we're seeing at the border have become the new normal,” a senior DHS official told the Washington Free Beacon on Friday, questioning how much further the situation would be allowed to deteriorate before action was taken.
KXCO AI Ontology at 3 Months: What It Called and What Comes Next
On 19 July 2026 the Round Table's AI room published its first Analyst Outlook. To the 16 October 2026 close its 13 names rose 2.6% on an equal weight against 2.1% for QQQ, per StockAnalysis closes, and the six it opened with 35% or more of upside rose 8.6%. This piece lists the six names up more than 5%, the ten names I rate as opportunities now, the month's results in AI and quantum computing, and the official data showing that four in five firms have not yet started using AI.
SpaceX: The Road to 10 Gigawatts
SpaceX did not add an AI business. A company whose processes run on compute built its own computing plant, then built the power to run it. The 10-Q reports 1.4 gigawatts of nameplate compute at 30 June 2026, four leases worth about $41 billion a year and $100 billion of cash. The target is closer to 10 gigawatts than 5 by the end of 2027. This piece sets out the build sequence, the four layers of power in Memphis, and why Terafab is the act after 2027, not the road to it.
Thoughts on Thinking: Take an Art Break
The best way I know to keep complex work in perspective is to stop at intervals and look at something that took the same order of sustained attention under real constraints. The studies now show what that does: a museum visit restored attention where an urban walk did not, judging the beauty of an object raised abstract thinking almost 14 per cent, and artistic film raised originality even in people who felt worse for it. Five works, Leonardo to Holbein, and the non-default decision in each.
The Evil Legacy of the French Revolution
The French Revolution is still sold as the birthday of the modern world. The ledger does not match the posters. It seized the Church's land and floated its paper money on the seizure, hunted the priests who would not swear, defined the nobility as a moral enemy, and put in their place a political class accountable chiefly to itself. Four knowledge-graph exhibits trace who put the king and queen on the scaffold, and how the template left France.
