Biden’s Border Crisis Hits Chicago Hard, by Invitation

• Chicago, a historic city that will host next summer’s Democratic National Convention, has all the markings of a Third World city.
• The Heritage Foundation’s Oversight Project conducted an on-the-ground investigation in Chicago and witnessed migrant families sleeping on the streets, locals infuriated with the situation, and a crisis in the brewing.
• Chicago O’Hare International Airport, a historic transportation hub, has become a makeshift shelter and waypoint for illegal aliens.
• Temperatures in Chicago are about to drop precipitously for the winter months. When that happens, an untenable situation will be created in which an unknown number of illegal aliens will be on the streets of one of the most violent cities in America.
• Based on our initial investigation, we believe this isn’t just a migrant crisis created by the Biden administration’s open-borders policies. Early in November, Mayor Johnson asked for $5 billion in federal funds to house and feed the illegal aliens, but he didn’t ask Biden to stem the flow of illegal aliens coming into this once beautiful city. 
• The huge amount of money involved, and the tangled network of nonprofits, present all the hallmarks of corruption in a city that is well known for it.

Bidenomics Has Taken a Big Bite Out of Your Retirement

• Millions of Americans trying to retire today feel like Bob Cratchit, toiling away in Scrooge & Marley’s counting house, but unable to get ahead.
• New research explains why: The modern-day Scrooge of Bidenomics has reduced the real value of the average 401(k)by a quarter in the last two and a half years.
• Immediately upon taking office, the Biden administration and their big-spender allies in Congress ran up multitrillion-dollar tabs with no way to pay, so the Federal Reserve just created the money to finance it all. That sparked 40-year-high inflation, which was followed by the fastest interest rate hikes in just as long.
• This severely hampered equities but completely devastated bond markets, delivering a one-two punch to people’s retirement accounts.
• Through the third quarter of this year, pension plans have lost $3.3 trillion, or 12.1%, of real value during the Biden administration.

Liberal Hypocrites Are Destroying Women’s Sports

• Women deserve a fair playing field. Allowing biological males to compete against women and girls is unsafe, unfair, and wrong. Title IX was created to level the playing field for women—it shouldn’t be corrupted to satisfy a woke agenda.
• It’s becoming harder and harder for high school and college girls to compete against other females without intrusion by transgender-identified males.
• No matter how much liberals may claim otherwise, men have distinct biological advantages over women. Men, on average, have greater lung capacity, larger hearts, more bone density, and more muscle mass. 
• These biological differences—which cannot be changed—allow men to jump higher, throw further, run faster, and punch harder than females, which has resulted in an increasing number of injuries of female athletes when forced to compete with men.  
• Title IX’s mission was to equalize educational opportunities for women. But if the Biden administration has its way, that guarantee of equality will evaporate.  
• Our policies should stop pandering to this athletic fraud and secure Title IX for its intended purpose to protect women’s sports programs.
