Biden to grant 'parole' to 500K illegal immigrant spouses . . . President Biden will announce a new leniency for illegal immigrants Tuesday, giving them a chance to adjust to legal status here in the U.S. without having to return to their home country. The new policy could apply to as many as a half-million people who are married to a U.S. citizen, though they themselves are here illegally. Under the law, they can adjust their status, but they are supposed to return home for processing, which can take years. Mr. Biden will have Homeland Security grant them "parole," which will allow them to adjust their status without leaving, and give them a three-year window to apply for a green card. They will also gain quick work permits. Washington Times
So much for cracking down on illegal immigration.

White House calls videos of Biden's public malfunctions "fakes" . . . Videos exposing President Joe Biden's age, gaffes, and recent awkwardness in public are "cheap fakes" and published in "bad faith," White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre claimed Monday. During the first press conference in about three weeks, reporters asked Jean-Pierre if the White House was "worried" about Biden's curious behavior that "appears to be a pattern." Neither video was accurate, Jean-Pierre claimed, repeatedly avoiding questions about whether or not Biden is "fine." Breitbart

Massachusetts advances bill to legalize sale of humans . . . The Massachusetts House of Representatives unanimously passed the Parentage Act Wednesday, updating the state's parenting laws to include removing the terms "mother" and "father" and to legalize prostitution and the sale of children. The bill passed the state House by a 156-0 vote, with not a single Republican voting against it despite the bill permitting prostitution to conceive a child and exchange the term "mother" for a "person who gave birth" or "genetic surrogate." The Parentage Act legalized prostitution by allowing a man who wants to have a child without using IVF or other assisted reproductive methods to purchase sex with a woman with the intent for her to get pregnant with his child.

Without Putin what did Zelenskyy's Swiss peace summit achieve? . . . None of the key stakeholders in the conflict – Moscow, Kyiv, and Washington – are serious about achieving a peace settlement in Ukraine. Putin has transitioned the Russian military and economy onto a wartime footing as he is prepared to wage a long war to keep Ukraine, which Moscow views as part of its centuries-old strategic buffer zone, against NATO, an adversarial alliance created as a direct counter to Russia's predecessor, the USSR. In Ukraine, there is not much willingness to negotiate for peace either. Kyiv dismissed Putin's conditions for a cease-fire as "absurd." Rebekah Koffler in Fox News
And The Biden administration, having utterly failed to deter Putin in the first place, continues to invest heavily in weakening Russia militarily and economically, albeit at the cost of Ukraine's destruction.
