Incoming Speaker and House Republicans Must Unite to End the Biden Border Crisis

• The Biden administration continues to put Americans last by handing operational control of the border over to the cartels and facilitating mass, unvetted illegal immigration.
• The chaos at the border has let hundreds of suspected terrorists into the country, pushed fentanyl into communities in every state, and enriched dangerous, human-trafficking cartels.
• It is time for the incoming Speaker and House Republicans to unite behind their mechanism to fix this disaster: H.R. 2. Securing America’s border must remain a top legislative priority over the coming weeks.
• Most important, the border crisis should not be viewed as a problem that can be solved with more taxpayer dollars—a trap that has been laid alongside providing critical financial assistance to Israel.

DC Mayor Bowser Unveils New Anti-Crime Plan as Violence Continues to Climb

• On Monday, Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser announced a new anti-crime initiative to target organized retail theft, open-air drug markets, and masks.
• The announcement came as crime rates across the District continue to rise. Violent crime is up 41%, robberies are up 70%, and homicides are up 33%, according to the city's most recent crime data.
• The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia doesn’t take prosecuting crime seriously, as evidenced by their 67% declination rate and the fact that they don’t prosecute felons in possession of firearms cases in federal court.  
• Judges of the DC Superior Court have eroded accountability by their notoriously light sentences across all categories of crime.
• The DC Attorney General’s Office fails to keep the city safe from violent juveniles and should be stripped of handling all misdemeanor cases and juvenile cases.

Redefining Infertility Rejects the Natural Family

• Infertility was previously defined by the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) as when a man and woman can't get pregnant after a year of unprotected intercourse or intrauterine insemination.
• The group’s new definition now also includes: the inability to get pregnant because of the patient's medical, sexual and reproductive history, age, physical findings and diagnostic testing, and the need for medical intervention such as donor eggs or sperm to achieve pregnancy.
• The decision to redefine infertility to include single persons and gay couples reduces infertility from a biologically grounded medical diagnosis to a matter of personal feeling and preference. 
• Taxpayer money should not go toward the illusion that same-sex couples or single persons have the right or natural ability to create babies with in vitro fertilization and surrogacy. 
• Once a man purchases the egg, the womb, and the necessary paperwork, the line between a legitimate fertility service and outright baby-selling dissolves.
