Breaking Updates Secret Recording Shows Dem Governor Slamming Border Patrol for Seizing Drugs A secret recording was leaked on Friday showing [New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham slamming Joe Biden's border policies,]( but not for the reason one might think. Her anger at the administration wasn't for not securing the border. Instead, her anger was being pointed at Border Patrol agents for doing their job and seizing drugs. LUJAN GRISHAM: I'm going to put extra borders going and beyond, for the love of God, put him at the border in Sunland Park where I don't have a single border patrol agent, not one, and people pour over, and so I'm cranky with the secretary. He knew that was coming, he did not say a word to me. Politico wants to write an article. Every single major press group is asking repeatedly, basically accusing me of being feckless, and uh, Huffington Post, I mean, they're all going to write about it. They're saying that they are worried about fentanyl so they're taking all of our cannibis, and they tried to, and they're detaining people. We've never done that. We just use discretion, and look the other way. But the press also knows that the bad Border Patrol is taking a hard stance, and the only way is either we have to adjust it or I have to send you a letter saying, "You're persecuting the states, you are not using your discretion, you are not working with me on immigration," and I don't want to send that letter, but I'm boxed in hard. Her words are just incredible. With all the problems in New Mexico and at the Southern Border, [her concern is about the supposed bad press she may receive from drug shipments being seized.]( In her comments, she expressed outrage that the "bad Border Patrol" are doing their jobs and taking cannabis shipments when they stop vehicles. It is incredibly [tone-deaf to whine about the Biden administration, not for its horrible pro-illegal immigration policies,]( but for some rank-and-file agents doing what they swore to do, which is uphold the laws as they stand today.

Ron DeSantis just told the Biden administration to pound sand with its new Title IX rules.]( The move came shortly after Oklahoma announced that it would not comply with the new guidelines. The president’s revamping of Title IX, which was initially aimed at protecting women from discrimination on college campuses, was met with backlash from those arguing that it is an attempt to redefine gender and allow men experiencing gender dysphoria access to women’s spaces. In a post on X, [DeSantis posted a video declaring that Florida “will not comply, and we will fight back.”]( “We are not going to let Joe Biden try to inject men into women’s activities. We are not going to let Joe Biden undermine the rights of parents, and we are not going to let Joe Biden abuse his constitutional authority to try to impose these policies on us here in Florida.” The governor’s comments reflect those of state Attorney General Ashley Moody, who said on Tuesday that Biden’s new rules “shred protections for women.” On Wednesday, [Oklahoma State Superintendent of Public Instruction Ryan Walters directed school districts]( in the state not to comply with the White House’s guidelines. In a letter Wednesday to all local superintendents in the state obtained exclusively by the Washington Examiner, Walters called on districts not to make policy changes based on the controversial Title IX overhaul, which redefines sex to include claimed gender identities, calling the rewrite “illegal” and outside compliance with Oklahoma law. Walters urged other states to follow Oklahoma’s lead in fighting the Title IX changes, saying, “It’s time for every state leader to stand up and say enough of this preposterous charade that erases women and puts their safety in jeopardy.” Read more updates [here]( American Sports & Culture MLB-worst White Sox snap 7-game skid with their 4th win of the season, 9-4 over Rays Light-hitting Martín Maldonado hit a three-run homer, Eloy Jiménez added a two-run-shot and the MLB-worst Chicago White Sox snapped a seven-game losing streak with their fourth win of the season, a 9-4 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays on Friday night 2024 NFL Draft: Fantasy football winners and losers after Rounds 2 and 3 Scott Pianowski examines the potential fantasy impact of intriguing receivers and running backs taken on Day 2 of the NFL Draft.
