Brandon Judd, president of the National Border Patrol Council, condemned Biden last night on “Hannity” for the border crisis. But Judd is at the center of an amnesty push that could apply to approximately two million people and now his union is attacking immigration hawks. https://contra.substack.com/p/border-patrol-union-president-pushes

20 posts held, back to 1 August 2022 — the reader has not yet reached the start of this channel’s public history, so older posts may sit further back, unread. Read across 1 pageof Telegram’s post history, 20 posts per page.
Nothing published in the last 30 days. ERR and ER are rolling 30-day measures, so there is nothing to compute — we hold 20 posts for this entry, the most recent from 10 December 2022. An engagement rate over an empty window would be a number about nothing.

In March 2018, Trump floated the death penalty for drug dealers while talking about the opioid crisis. Three months later, he commuted the sentence of a woman who ran cocaine from Texas to Tennessee produced by a Colombian cartel. He said he did it for Kanye West. https://contra.substack.com/p/the-drug-dealer-pardoned-by-the-president
The US alliance system is plagued by “Trojan Alliances,” in which smaller states (like Ukraine) collude with the US foreign policy establishment to goad America into never-ending and open-ended commitments abroad. The tail, in other words, can and often does wag the dog. Arta Moeini, research director at the Institute for Peace and Diplomacy, and David Polansky, a research fellow at the institute, join me to discuss…
I’m on Tucker Carlson tonight around 8:30. Tune in📺
The US isn’t becoming more secular. It’s giving rise to new religions, like anti-whiteism, which conditions people to worship criminals based on their diversity points, to favor a perverse form of forgiveness over justice and righteous punishment. https://contra.substack.com/p/anti-whiteism-the-new-american-religion Check out my latest column!
What has been and will continue to be the most important part of the Elon Musk saga is what it reveals about power—who has it and how they use it to control everything from the discourse to elections. https://contra.substack.com/p/losing-control-of-twitter

Giorgia Meloni’s victory is seen as a symbolic rejection of Western liberalism. Whether she lives up to that potential is yet to be determined. But the electricity of the moment is palpable: the Italians have voted against the times. My latest for Chronicles. https://chroniclesmagazine.org/web/meloni-contra-mundum/

Biden's UN address made it clear that in the mouths of liberal elites, "democracy" merely means everything they like while "undemocratic" means everything they don't. Fortunately, faith in "democracy" is slipping across the West. My latest Newsweek op-ed. https://www.newsweek.com/democracy-biden-whatever-benefits-global-elite-opinion-1745162

Over the weekend, I had the opportunity to speak at “Defeating the Great Reset,” a Turning Point USA event. The bottom line: America's greatest enemies aren’t in Davos but in D.C. https://contra.substack.com/p/the-meaning-of-america-first
Showing the 12 most recent of 20 posts we hold for @pedrolgonzalez. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.
Citation-graph rank
Citation-graph rank — 1,164,635 of 1,480,688entries in the measured graph. A weighted position computed from the forward and mention edges below — republished posts weigh more than named mentions — and recomputed periodically, over the whole graph. Published only as this ordinal position, never as a score: a position is a fact, and a score printed beside one channel’s name would read as a verdict this register does not make. The two counts beneath stay separate for the same reason mentions are never summed with forwards anywhere else on this page — a named-by count costs nothing to manufacture. The top 100 by this measure, or how it is computed.
Forward network
Republished by
Channels on the register that have forwarded this channel's posts into their own feed.
Built only from forwarded posts we have actually read, on both sides. Coverage is early and deliberately incomplete: a missing link means we have not read the post that would prove it, never that the relationship does not exist. Counts are distinct forwarded posts observed, so they only ever go up as we read more.
