Cartels’ Influence Over Border Is ‘Really Frightening,’ Texas Land Commissioner Says

 Texas Land Commissioner Dawn Buckingham says Texans are deeply frustrated with the situation at their southern border, a situation she describes as “frightening.

” There is a “tremendous loss of life with the increase in crime” at the southern border, Buckingham says, adding, “We`re going to do everything we possibly can, but unfortunately it is sort of trying to trap water in a sieve.

10 after being elected in November, joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to discuss how locals in Texas view the illegal-immigration crisis and what the Texas General Land Office is doing to secure the southern border.

Listen to the podcast below or read the lightly edited transcript: Virginia Allen: We are joined today by Texas Land Commissioner Dawn Buckingham.

I know that you, in your capacity as commissioner and your office, the Texas General Land Office, you-all touch so many different aspects of things within the state of Texas.

I tell everybody that the General Land Office is the office that touches the lives of Texans every day and they have no idea that we even exist.

We are basically the reason why Texas is leading the nation and the world in energy production, in such a big part of keeping our energy independence, which is so incredibly important because of course we have minerals on a whole lot of those 13 million acres.

Well, what comes, I know, with watching over and working to preserve all of that land and touching aspects of that, of course, in what`s happening right now along our southern border.

You-all are directly affected by that, and I know you`re dealing with aspects of the border crisis.

So how has the crisis at the southern border affected Texas land and your ability to do your job well?

Buckingham: Well, the General Land Office actually built the first section of the wall many, many years ago.

Allen: And since you do interact with so many different Texans, what are people in your state saying about this?

Buckingham: Folks are deeply frustrated.

We had some friends who live along the border who were up visiting us at our ranch and I called them on the way leaving the ranch and just said, “Hey, thanks for coming.

” And they said, “Heck yeah, we stopped at a Tractor Supply,” because you can`t find a weed eater, you can`t find anything down on the border, because all the resources are just being taken to try and deal with this massive humanity coming across.

And so they are deeply frustrated and they really feel like the Biden administration doesn`t care about them.

In his new book, "On Call," Fauci admits that Albert Bourla, the CEO of Pfizer, called him the night after Biden was declared the winner of the election, to inform him of Pfizer's "Game-changing results" from the rigged mRNA trial. "On November 7, after the absentee ballots were counted, Joe Biden was declared the winner of the presidential election. It was the very next night that Albert Bourla, Pfizer's CEO, called me away from my neighbors' fire pit to inform me about the game-changing results from the Pfizer mRNA vaccine trial. I finally thought we had truly turned a corner in defeating this terrible disease."

The Biden-Harris White House Has An Iranian Spy Leaking U.S. Intelligence In It

 The question is, how did classified intelligence from the United States, showing Israeli military movements that suggest broader action against Iran, get to Tehran? The answer raises uncomfortable questions for the Biden-Harris White House, which has opposed Israel every step of the way in responding to Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran. Defying Biden got Israel the entire leadership of Hezbollah and Hamas, with the ultimate threat still looming: Iran and its nuclear program. Operations against Iran are being assessed also because Iran has started firing ballistic missiles into Israel, targeting civilian centers across the country. If Israel is close to launching a broader offensive against Iran, leaking U.S. intelligence would be a way to both try and deter Israel and give more warning to Iran. In 2012, similar allegations were made against the Obama administration when U.S. intelligence leaks showed that Israel was working towards using "Azerbaijan as a base of operations in the event...
