Biden holds off punishing Saudi crown prince, despite US intel
President Biden on Friday stopped short of announcing any punitive measures against Saudi Arabia's crown prince despite the release of an intelligence report linking the Kingdom’s day-to-day ruler to the grisly killing of a U.S-based journalist. The declassified report said Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman approved a plot to “capture or kill” journalist and Saudi critic Jamal Khashoggi, who was lured to the Saudi consulate and killed. The report's release raises the stakes on relations between the Biden administration and the likely next ruler of the Saudi Kingdom. The administration announced a range of punitive measures against Saudi officials and individuals it said were involved in Khashoggi's death in October 2018, though it held off penalizing Prince Mohammad himself — a move likely to put the president at odds with key Democratic leaders and human rights groups calling for stronger measures against the crown prince. ADVERTISEMENT “The Saudi government in general, and [Mohammed bin Salman] in particular, have a cloud hanging over them and there’s a lot of work to be done to repair that,” Hussein Ibish, senior resident scholar with the Arab Gulf States Institute in Washington, told The Hill. “The question is, how much does anyone want to let it affect U.S.-Saudi relations?” The New York Times, citing senior administration officials, said the consensus in the White House was to avoid visa restrictions or criminal charges on the crown prince over concerns it would hurt critical cooperation with Saudi Arabia in general on threats related to counter-terrorism and confronting Iran. “The administration has signaled a certain distance from the crown prince,” said Robert Satloff, executive director of the Washington Institute for Near East Policy. “But that’s not sustainable over the long run because the crown prince is the most significant decision maker in the kingdom and we should have an authoritative high level engagement with him."

Exclusive–Donald Trump Jr.: Working Class Americans Will Foot the Bill for Joe Biden’s Mass Immigration
Donald Trump Jr. says it is working class Americans, those earning the least in the economy, who will be forced to foot the bill for President Joe Biden’s mass immigration agenda. In an exclusive interview with Breitbart News’s Washington Political Editor Matt Boyle, Trump Jr. said that President Trump “had it right” on immigration when he sought to reduce overall immigration levels to tighten the United States labor market and drive up wages . Biden, in contrast, is flooding the U.S. labor market with cheap, often illegal, foreign labor that will have a disparate impact on the nation’s working poor and working class — those at the bottom end of the labor market. “The plans that Joe Biden is putting forth, it’s creating a flood into this country,” Trump Jr. said. “What is that going to do to the lowest income earners? When you have a flood of illegals coming in here, who’s going to pay for all of their free health insurance and all the other freebies that the Biden administration wants to give them? Who’s that going to impact the most?” “It’s probably not going to be guys like me,” Trump Jr. continued. “It’s the lowest income earners who for the first time in modern history under Donald Trump actually saw real wage gains.” Kimberly Guilfoyle, Trump Jr.’s girlfriend, told Breitbart News that conservatives “don’t need the cowardly lion Republican Party” the party’s establishment has embodied for decades. “You really have to have some bite to your bark, you’ve got to get out there, you’ve got to fight for what you believe in, because we can’t let it erode away during this Biden administration or Harris administration,” Guilfoyle said. A flooded U.S. labor market has been well documented for its wage-crushing side effects, so much so that economist George Borjas has called mass immigration the “largest anti-poverty program” at the expense of America’s working and lower-middle class. Other research finds that current legal immigration to the U.S. ...

Democrats don’t trust GOP on 1/6 commission: ‘These people are dangerous’

But rank-and-file Democrats are citing a very different reason they don't want the panel's power split evenly between the parties: They simply don't trust Republicans to investigate an attack on the Capitol that, in the eyes of livid Democrats, was kindled by those same GOP lawmakers. “We do not owe delusional deniers a role or a platform in a commission designed to try to ferret out extremism and violence to prevent its recurrence,” said Rep.
