As tensions between Israel and Iran escalate, the airwaves are full of alarmist commentary. Military analysts and political leaders alike are warning that Tehran is "on the brink" of possessing a nuclear weapon. White House Press Secretary KarolineLeavitt even claimed, "Iran has all that it needs to achieve a nuclear weapon and it would take a couple weeks to complete the production of that weapon." This is not just a misstatement. It is misinformationand it risks pushing the United States into a hasty and unjustified war.HOW CLOSE WAS IRAN TO A NUCLEAR WEAPON BEFORE ISRAELS STRIKE ON TEHRAN?The reality is far more complex. Enriched uraniumeven at weapons-grade levelsis only one component of a long, technically demanding process required to create a functional nuclear bomb. Understanding why this alarmism is premature requires a clear breakdown of whats actually involved in building such a device.According to U.S. experts and declassified intelligence assessments, a nuclear weapon requires at least the followingelements:In addition to enriched uranium and implosion mechanisms, a functional nuclear weapon requires several othercomplex components that Iran has not demonstrably mastered. These include a neutron initiator to trigger the chain reaction, precision fusing and arming systems, and reentry vehicle technology if the weapon is to be missile-delivered. A credible nuclear arsenal also demands sub-critical testing infrastructure to validate design functionality and safety protocols to control explosive yield.These technical requirements involve advanced engineering, testing, and materialsnone of which are confirmed to exist in Irans program today.Each of these steps represents a serious technological challenge. While Iran has demonstrated enrichment capabilities, there is no credible open-source evidence that it has mastered the other essential components. The most difficult hurdleweaponizationremains the most classified and technically advanced part of the entire process.Yet Israels recent week of strikes on Iranian nuclear and military facilitiesincluding the deeply buried Fordow enrichment site near Qomwere reportedly driven by fears that Iran had crossed the 90% enrichment threshold. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared that Iran now possesses enough enriched uranium for "nine nuclear weapons" and the IDFs Chief of Staff EyalZamir warned of an "immediate operational necessity" as Iran had "reached the point of no return." However, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and U.S. intelligence assessments have not publicly corroborated any progress toward assembling a usable bomb.The Fordow facility, often portrayed as a doomsday site, is not a weapons lab. It is an enrichment planttoo deep to strike easily, but also too constrained to test, assemble, or launch a nuclear weapon. That fact alone should prompt the question: Why strike now?Netanyahus warnings are not new. In 2012, he told NBCs Meet the Press that Iran would have enough material for a bomb in "six or seven months," urging the U.S. to draw a "red line" before it was "too late." The dire prediction never materialized. No bomb was built. No red line crossed. The episode offers a lesson in how worst-case scenarios, not verified facts, can drive the conversation.Before the United States commits to military action, President Trumpand the American peopledeserve clear answers: Does Iran possess the necessary components, the design knowledge, and the capacity to assemble and deliver a functioning weapon? Or are we risking war based on fear and incomplete intelligence?We have been here before. In 2003, the U.S. invaded Iraq over weapons of mass destruction that did not exist. That war cost thousands of lives, almostthree trillion dollars to the present, destabilized a region, and damaged U.S. credibility for decades. To repeat such a mistake would be strategic malpractice of the highest order.CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINIONNone of this downplays the threat Iran poses. The regimes support for proxy militias, its ballistic missile program, and its pattern of obstructing IAEA inspections are deeply troubling. But deterrence and diplomacynot preemptive warmust be the first response. The United States retains a full suite of tools: cyber operations, regional missile defense, economic sanctions, and multilateral diplomacy. Military action should remain the final optionnot the opening move.As Australian novelist KateForsyth reminds us: "War is an unpredictable beast. Once unleashed, it runs like a rabid dog, ravening friend or foe alike." Let us not unleash that beast over uranium that is dangerousbut not yet detonatable.President Trump, Congress, and our intelligence community must deliver a full, honest accounting. What does the United States knownot suspectabout Irans nuclear readiness? What pieces are still missing? What tools short of war can ensure they stay missing?These are the questions that must be answered before another missile is fired. Panic is not a policy. Precision is.CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM ROBERT MAGINNIS

David is one win away from taking down Goliath.The Indiana Pacers have scratched and clawed their way to forcing a Game 7 against the heavily favored Oklahoma City Thunder.Game 7 on Sunday night may be in Oklahoma City, but former Pacers star Jalen Rose has a (rather not surprising) bold prediction.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM"All Indy all day," he told Fox News Digital at Fanatics Fest in New York on Friday.Rose raved about Tyrese Haliburton, who has had his fair share of memorable playoff moments this year. In Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals, he mimicked Pacers legend Reggie Miller with a choke signal. In Game 1 of this series, he hit a game-winner with 0.3 seconds left.Haliburton played 23 minutes in Game 6 as he deals with a reported calf strain, but if he gets even better by Sunday, Rose thinks his prediction is even more obvious."I just wish Haliburton is healthy for Game 7. If he's ready to go, Indiana's gonna win it," he claimed."He can dribble, pass and shoot, he makes people around him better, he has an infectious smile. I'm really rooting for him, I'm really rooting for the team, and he's going to keep getting better."INDIANA PACERS BLOW OUT THUNDER TO SET UP FIRST NBA FINALS GAME 7 SINCE 2016The Pacers won Game 1 because of Haliburton, and even took a 2-1 series lead after winning the third game of the series. The Thunder then began to show why they won 68 games in the regular season, winning each of the next two.But with the Pacers' 108-91 win on Thursday, Oklahoma City has outscored Indiana by just seven total points in the entire series.A win for the Pacers on Sunday would give them their first NBA championship. They won three ABA titles in the early 1970s.As for Oklahoma City, it would be their first championship since 1979 when they were the Seattle SuperSonics.Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X,and subscribe tothe Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

A California comedian has become the first known person to bike across the U.S. from coast to coast on a 20-inch BMX.Sebastian Fowler, 31, pedaled 3,333 miles from San Diego to New York in just 80 days, with no support vehicle, no training and one pair of Vans slip-ons. His top goal: "Raise enough money to buy 100 BMX bicycles for underprivileged children and teens who can use BMX for good," he said on a fundraising page."I believe Im the first person to have done that in the U.S.," he noted, news agency SWNS reported.WOMAN FEARED DOGS, THEN BEGAN TREKKING ALL OVER THE WORLD WITH NEWLY ADOPTED PUP"It took 80 days to get from San Diego to New York City on a BMX bike."Turns out there's a deeply personal reason he chose his method of travel.After losing his father, drummer John Fowler, as a young teenager, BMX became an escape for him, he said - a way to cope with grief and hardship."Ive been riding BMXs since I was five or six," he said. "It was my reprieve as a teenager who had lost a parent. My mom didnt have money and she was taking care of four kids by herself."It's why Fowler launched his fundraiser to provide BMX bikes to kids who can't afford them, with a goal of raising $30,000 to purchase 100 bikes."I just wanted to help some kids, because I was that kid once," he said.Known as "Seabass" to friends and fans, Fowler set out in late February with 60 pounds of gear strapped to his frame, including a hammock, sleeping bag, hatchet, knife and a short baseball bat - the latter to help deal with the roughly 45 dogs that chased him along the way, according to SWNS.AMERICANS READY TO HIT THE ROAD IN RECORD NUMBERS THIS INDEPENDENCE DAYHe slept wherever he could: behind dumpsters, in flash-flood tunnels, in the open desert. "I had no follow car, no buddy - just me out there with my thoughts and my little bike," he said, as SWNS noted.Fowler, who lives in Ocean Beach, California, said that in addition to raising money for children, he figured he'd turn his grueling ride into a stand-up tour.Along the route, he performed in six cities, culminating in a performance on "Kill Tony," the popular Netflix stand-up series hosted by Tony Hinchcliffe and Brian Redban."Then the next day I rode 70 miles and went on the biggest comedy show in the world," he said of finally getting on stage in Austin, Texas where he also met guest Joe Rogan.For more Lifestyle articles, visit foxnews.com/lifestyleThe night before, however, hed been stalked by mountain lions on a dark Texas road, SWNS reported."It was the first time Id ever called the police," Fowler said.A dispatcher told him to calm his heart rate or risk being seen as prey and an officer eventually dropped him off at a 7-Eleven, where he spent the night behind a dumpster."I did very little preparation. I basically just rode my bike around town," he said, per SWNS.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR LIFESTYLE NEWSLETTER"When it actually started, I was like, Good Lord, what have I got myself into.'"But over time, he found his rhythm, he said, averaging 45 miles a day in the beginning and eventually pushing 65."Its tough and had its moments of struggle, but Im really glad I persevered," Fowler told SWNS."I mean, what was I going to do? Turn around and pedal home?"Fowler ended his journey in May with a visit to his fathers grave in Connecticut before flying home to San Diego."It felt like my dad was flying above my shoulder and keeping me safe on my trip," he said.To date, he's raised over $9,000 for children who need bikes.He wrote on his fundraising page, "Even though I am back in San Diego, the fight is far from over! Now it's time to get these bikes to these kids! We still have a long way to go to meet our goal I know we can do it, though!"He added, "That reminds me of a quote my dad used quite often: A little goes a long way! Thank you so much!"

Amid a week of daily attacks between Middle Eastern juggernauts Israel and Iran, President Donald Trump has repeatedly drilled home a key point."IRAN CAN NOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON," the president wrote on social media.And speaking with reporters in the Oval Office at the White House, Trump highlighted, "I've been saying for 20 years, maybe longer, that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon."It's a stance U.S. presidents have taken for a couple of decades. And it appears most Americans agree with Trump and his presidential predecessors when it comes to the possibility of Iran acquiring nuclear weapons.FOX NEWS POLL: VOTERS THINK IRAN POSES REAL THREAT TO U.S. SECURITYNearly three-quarters (73%) of registered voters questioned in a new Fox News national survey said they think Iran poses a real security threat to the U.S. That's a 13-point boost since Fox News last asked the question six years ago.And the poll, conducted June 13-16, indicates wide support across the partisan spectrum. Majorities of Republicans (82%), Democrats (69%) and Independents (62%) agreed that Iran poses a threat.The survey also showed that 78% of those questioned said they were very or extremely concerned about Iran obtaining a nuclear bomb. And eight in 10 said what happens in the Middle East does matter in the U.S.HEAD HERE FOR THE LATEST POLLING FROM FOX NEWSDaron Shaw, a veteran GOP pollster and the Republican partner on the Fox News poll, said that "the increased sense that Iran constitutes a threat is real, but it also reflects the unique timing and circumstances surrounding this poll.""The poll was in the field as images of Iranian missiles falling on Tel Aviv dominated television and the internet -- the immediacy and clarity of the conflict undoubtedly contributes to how voters gauge what is at risk," noted Shaw, who is also a politics professor and chair at the University of Texas.There was a similar response regarding the threat from Iran in a Ronald Reagan Institute national survey conducted earlier this month, before Israel's initial attack last week sparked the daily bombardments by both nations.Eighty-four percent of those questioned in the poll, which was shared first with Fox News, said preventing Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons matters to U.S. security and prosperity.FOX NEWS LIVE UPDATES ON THE ISRAEL-IRAN ATTACKSTrump is weighing whether the U.S. should join Israel in striking Iran to cripple its nuclear program and prevent Tehran from acquiring nuclear weapons."President Trump doesnt often get a political softball sent his way. His decision to support Israels attacks on the Islamic Republic of Iran and the prospective decision to deal a limited but decisive blow to Irans nuclear ambitions by striking the Fordow facility can prove to be political mana from heaven," veteran political scientist Wayne Lesperance said.Lesperance, president of New England College, noted that "If the President makes the case clearly and firmly to the American people, polling data suggests he would enjoy support from his own party, Democrats and Independents. Whats more, Trumps decision and subsequent action would crowd out any of the issues or coverage like immigration, the budget, or tariffs in the near term. Politically, a decision to act against Iran is smart politics."But Lesperance cautioned that "this all assumes that the attacks are successful. It also assumes Americans are tolerant of the repercussions of backlash over the threat of a nuclear-armed Iran."Fox News' Dana Blanton and Victoria Balara contributed to this report.

Progressive Sen. Bernie Sanders has endorsed a Democratic candidate for New York City comptroller who, as a former punk rock musician, has a history of making racist, sexist and homophobic statements online, according to a review by Fox News Digital.Sanders endorsed Justin Brannan, a Democratic New York City councilman who is now running for comptroller, saying he would fight corruption and stand for the working class. Brannans campaign website says that, in the music scene he comes from, "people look out for one another and pick each other up when they fall down."Brannan says he has carried these values into his work as a New York City councilmember and that he will do so as a city comptroller.OUSTED DEM 'SUPER MAYOR' CHARGES WHOPPING PRICE TAG FOR TELL-ALL BOOK WHILE DODGING LEGAL TROUBLESHowever, a review of statements Brannan made on several music listservs during his years as a punk rocker in the '90s puts a very different set of values on display, including statements mocking Puerto Ricans, Asians, homosexual individuals and others.On two different occasions in 1999, Brannan used the N-word, writing, "Yo n---- be representing Dead Kennedys and Social D in Stir of Echoes'" and "Yo, this swizz n---- is deep."In a 1998 post, Brannan also recounted an interview with a now-defunct music publication in which he said he preferred to shave his head bald, explaining, "I like to keep it nice and trim like the Nazis."He then added, "I find myself more intimidating with the shaved head too when I smack up my b------."Brannan also mocked Asians, writing in one 1999 post that "Chinese people can not drive" and in another, "one thing you'll never see" is a "Chinese driving instructor." That same year, he mocked "Homicide: Life on the Street" actor and New York City native Yaphet Kotto, writing "Yaphet Koto ? Yum. I like it with brown rice."The Democratic candidate also repeatedly sparred with a disabled listserv member, writing posts such as, "If you are really crippled, thats pretty funny. Guess what I did today? I walked up and down stairs, all around the town. What did you do? Drool into a spitoon?," "I think it would be funny to beat up a handicapped person" and "I just had a vision of you like Stephen Hawking. I made myself laugh. HAHAHAHAAHA! You parapalegic f---."Brannan, along with other city employees, was also accused of bullying an autistic colleague during his time as a New York City government staffer. According to reporting by the New York Post, the staffer received an $850,000 court settlement paid for by the city in 2021.DEMOCRATS IN DISARRAY: KEN MARTIN'S TENURE SO FAR AT DNC RIPPEDIn 1999, shortly after returning from shows in Puerto Rico, Brannan said, "Everyone in Puerto Rico has a gun and doesn't wear underwear."Brannan also constantly used an anti-gay slur to insult others or make jokes, such as writing, "you f------ loser f--." "He said he was gonna see some f----- punk show at Coney Island" and "Email me you f--."The New York City primary election is scheduled for Tuesday, June 24. Brannan is running to replace the current city comptroller, Brad Lander, who is running for New York City mayor and was recently arrested by federal authorities for allegedly impeding an immigration enforcement arrest.DEMOCRATS MUST FIND A MESSAGE BEYOND CONSTANT ATTACKS ON TRUMP AND ICE, SAYS FORMER DEM ADVISORSanders has also endorsed New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, who is a member of the Democratic Socialists of America.Neither Brannan's office nor Sanders office responded to Fox News Digitals requests for comment ahead of the publication deadline.

President Donald Trump spent his 22nd week back in the Oval Office participating in the G-7 Summit, while handling the conflict in the Middle East, after Israel launched preemptive strikes on Iran after months of attempted and stalled nuclear negotiations amid renewed concern that Iran was advancing its nuclear program.The country and the world waited during Trumps 22nd week back as commander-in-chief to see how the president planned to respond to the crisis in the Middle East.The week began after the president celebrated his 79th birthday and participated in the massive parade in Washington, D.C., to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the United States Army on Saturday.VANCE TO MEET WITH FEDERAL LAW ENFORCEMENT, MARINES IN LA AMID ANTI-ICE RIOTSHe then traveled Sunday night to Alberta, Canada, for the G-7 Summit, where he participated in multiple sessions of meetings with allies. The president met with leaders from Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom and the European Union.But the situation in the Middle East sent the president back to the White House a day early.Israels initial strikes on Iran June 12 were part of its "Operation Rising Lion," which targeted Irans nuclear and missile infrastructure. The strikes have killed top Iranian military leaders and beyond.FLASHBACK: TRUMP LAUNCHED HIS FIRST PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN TEN YEARS AGOIran said the strikes were a "declaration of war," and launched its own strikes on Israel with a barrage of missiles hitting the Jewish state throughout the week, with some breaking through the Israeli Iron Dome defense system and causing destruction.On his way back to Washington, D.C., the president stressed that Iran is "very close" to developing a nuclear weapon.Earlier in June, the International Atomic Energy Agencys estimation said that Iranian stockpiles included 60% enriched uranium that could become 90%. And last week, Gen. Erik Kurilla, the U.S. Central Command chief, ahead of Israels preemptive strikes, said that Iran has the materials to build a nuclear weapon within one week.The Trump administration had been engaged in talks with Iran to make a deal on its nuclear program, and the president has urged the Islamic state to make a deal. But the country pulled out of ongoing talks with the United States. The most recent round of talks were scheduled for June 15.The president, Monday night, before leaving the G7, again said Iran "should have signed the deal I told them to sign.""What a shame, and a waste of human life," Trump said. "Simply stated, IRAN CAN NOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON."The president added, in his Truth Social post, that he has "said it over and over again!""Everyone should immediately evacuate Tehran!" Trump posted.TRUMP WEIGHS STRIKING IRANIAN NUCLEAR FACILITIES: I MAY DO IT, I MAY NOT DO ITBy Tuesday, the president announced that the United States has "complete and total control of the skies over Iran." He also said that the Supreme Leader of Iran Ali Khameneis location had been determined.The president said that Khamenei is "an easy target," but is "safe" in his hiding spot."We are not going to take him out (kill), at least for now," the president said. "But we dont want missiles shot at civilians, or American soldiers. Our patience is wearing thin."As for whether the United States will strike Iranian nuclear facilities, the president said: "I may do it, I may not do it.""Yes, I may do it. I may not do it. I mean, nobody knows what I'm going to do. I can tell you this, that Iran's got a lot of trouble, and they want to negotiate," Trump told reporters Wednesday. "And I said, why didn't you negotiate with me before all this death and destruction? Why didn't you go? I said to people, why didn't you negotiate with me two weeks ago? You could have done fine. You would have had a country. It's very sad to watch this."Trump, dating back to his first administration, has said that he refuses to broadcast his military plans ahead of time. The White House said the president would make his decision on how to handle Iran in the coming weeks.Meanwhile, the anti-Immigration and Customs Enforcement riots that broke out in Los Angeles earlier in June slowed as the president awaited a federal court ruling in California Gov. Gavin Newsoms lawsuit against the Trump administration for sending in the National Guard without his authority.Trump, earlier in June, ordered the National Guard to L.A. to aid law enforcement amid the violent protests.On Thursday night, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit ruled unanimously in Trumps favor, saying that the president is allowed to keep control of the National Guard troops deployed to Los Angeles. The ruling stayed a lower court order that ordered command of the troops back to Newsom.A president hasnt made a decision about the deployment of a National Guard without the permission of the states governor since 1965.Trump, in a post to his Truth Social, praised the Court of Appeals for their decision, touting it as a "WIN.""BIG WIN in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals on the Presidents core power to call in the National Guard!" Trump posted. "The Judges obviously realized that Gavin Newscum is incompetent and ill prepared, but this is much bigger than Gavin, because all over the United States, if our Cities, and our people, need protection, we are the ones to give it to them should State and Local Police be unable, for whatever reason, to get the job done."The president added: "This is a Great Decision for our Country, and we will continue to protect and defend Law abiding Americans. Congratulations to the Ninth Circuit, America is proud of you tonight!"By Friday, Vice President JD Vance traveled to Los Angeles to tour a multiagency Federal Joint Operations Center and a Federal Mobile Command Center.The vice president also met with leaders of federal law enforcement deployed in Los Angeles, as well as U.S. Marines deployed to the city.Fox News Emma Colton and Diana Stancy contributed to this report.

Despite considering herself a naturally messy person, "ROrganize" founder Ra Safford was able to turn a side-hustle of helping friends organize their living spaces into a seven-figure luxury home organizing business.Safford spoke to Fox News Digital this week about how her frustration with her own messy lifestyle inspired her to get creative with organizing and grow a flourishing business from that."I couldn't keep living the way that I live life, which is totally messy, things all over the place, no systems," she said. "And so I was able to figure out systems that worked for myself, and it was at that moment that I knew that I could help other people."MEGHAN MARKLE SAYS SHE STRUGGLED BEFORE FAME AND ROYALTYCurrently, Saffords ROrganize employs professional lifestyle experts to help people find creative and tasteful ways of organizing their spaces. The business helps people reorganize everything from their kitchen pantries to their bedrooms, to even their entire homes. It also provides moving services for clients."For our bread-and-butter home services, it's typically a whole home like overhaul of organizing so helping people edit their inventory, coming up with new storage solutions, and product sourcing, and installing to make the most sense for their life," she said.Safford added that her teams focus on observing clients habits, to find out "what would make the biggest impact for them to live a routine-ready, stress-free streamlined life."She also described the moving services her company offers, noting she added them to ROrganize during the COVID-19 pandemic."We do packing assistance, moving coordination, and then unpacking and whole home organization. That's all within relocation," she said.When asked where she got the idea for her business, the business owner noted the surprising fact that she is "not your typical organizer.""I'm a naturally messy person and I had a daughter at 24 and when I started having kids, there was just chaos," she said, adding that helped her figure out systems that worked for her and then find ways to help out others.As to the exact spark behind the ROrganize idea, Safford pointed to an old idea from college, saying she first dreamed it up in a marketing class.She added that once she had her daughter, she "realized very quickly the corporate life wasn't for me" and decided to lean into the business."What started as a side hustle to, you know, help cover mortgage and be home more, turned into a seven-figure business," Safford said.ROrganize serves clients in the Los Angeles and Orange County area in California, and has most recently established a team in the Dallas area. It has been featured in People, US Weekly, Better Homes & Gardens, and its famous clients include model Chrissy Teigen.SPORTS ILLUSTRATED MODEL COMBATING ULTRA-PROCESSED FOOD SHARES KEY TO LONGEVITYSafford told Fox that one of the biggest breaks for her company came in 2019 when she organized a pantry for Teigen and it blew up on social media."I'm cooking dinner and my phone starts blowing up. My husband's phone starts to blow up. I'm like, what is going on?" Safford stated.She continued, "People Magazine called me within 10 minutes. [Teigen] had posted a carousel of a pantry that I had done for her, and it was her third or fourth-most liked Instagram post ever. It got like 1.4 million likes. It was totally insane. I ended up getting nearly 200,000 followers cumulatively from that project."Safford explained that she got the Teigen gig after going viral for helping Jen Atkin, the hairstylist for the Kardashians, organize her home in 2019.She said that was the moment her "life changed."CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTUREWhen asked if she had any tips for people looking to get more organized on their own, she didn't hold back."One is, do not purchase without a purpose. And I feel like, so often people are in the aisles of Home Goods or Costco, and they're like, Oh my gosh, somethings on sale, or Oh my gosh, these jars are so cute. I'll figure out something for it on the backend And so you find yourself trying to force your things to work for these products because you bought the products versus having edited and intentionally created a space that you know, OK, I need this product to really help maximize here."The second tip she gave is "giving yourself the appropriate amount of time" to take on reorganizing projects so they actually get done.Watch Ra Safford appear on "Fox & Friends" on June 23 at 6:50 AM ET.

Exact numbers on how many deaths, intentional or otherwise, are caused by illegal immigrants in America are hard to come by, but the tragic killings of people like Laken Riley and so many others at the hands of illegals should make us ask, how many lives has President Trump's secure border already saved?One of lifes small cruelties is that when one acts responsibly and strongly, as Trump has here, they tend not to get credit for the bad things that dont happen. But we should make an exception for the miracle of the Rio Grande.LIBERAL NEWS OUTLET MOCKED FOR REPORTING ON MYSTERIOUS DROP IN FENTANYL FLOWING ACROSS BORDERWhat there can be absolutely no doubt about is that, somewhere this weekend at a cookout or a bowling alley, there are people enjoying their friends and family who would not be here but for Trumps border actions.The numbers aresimply stunning, almost to the point of Monty Python-level absurdity. In May of 2024, 62,000 illegal migrants were released into the U.S. Last month that number was zero, zilch, nada.Likewise, back when Grandpa Joe Biden was running the show, there were often over 10,000 encounters a day on the southern border, but last Sunday, there were a total of 95, the lowest number ever recorded over 24 hours.To put this in perspective, you could put 95 people in two Waffle House restaurants with room at the counter to spare.It is fair to say that this remarkable closing of the open wound that was flooding our nation with millions of illegal migrants as well as fentanyl and targets of terrorist watchlists, is among the most complete and swiftest handlings of a crisis in American history.If Kamala Harris was in office today, a million illegals could have come in by now. How many gang members? How many rapists? How many deadly doses of fentanyl?Let us not forget how vociferously we were informed that what Trump has done, shutting down the border, was absolutely impossible without acts of Congress. In the giant gumball machine of lies told by the Biden administration, this was among the most stale.It goes back even further than Bidens incompetence. While Trump had surely tamped down illegal immigration in his first term, before that, Barack Obama, George W. Bush, and Bill Clinton, had all failed to get a handle on the situation.Part of the problem years ago, and still an issue in Trumps deportation policies, is that some industries, like farming and hospitality, rely heavily on illegal labor. But given that there are already 10-20 million illegals in America, thanks to Biden, we certainly dont need any more.And the ongoing deportations, which polling consistently shows voters approve of, also play a role in securing the southern border. When one sees people being arrested for jumping the turnstile, it makes them less likely to try it themselves.Deportations turn off the magnet that attracts migrants, and by ending the disastrous catch-and-release policy, Trump has freed our border agents, to actually enforce border security instead of being desk clerks at the Hotel America.According to the Center for Immigration Studies,fentanyl seizures at the southern border are down 50% since November. A huge part of the reason for this is that without the cover of 100,000 illegal migrants a day, smuggling drugs gets much, much harder.Less fentanyl coming into the country means fewer Americans dying of overdoses, a result that surely everyone should cheer.CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINIONAmericans can be forgiven for not quite knowing how to react to such a resounding and total victory as Trump has achieved on the border. We certainly are not used to it, but we would be wise not to take it for granted.With the border closed, a million people self-deporting and violent criminals being taken off the streets and out of the country, there will be fewer grieving parents with children lost to violence, fewer grieving children with parents lost to illegal driving.Just six months into his second stint on Pennsylvania Avenue, Trumps secure border is already making every American, of every party, much, much safer.In 2020, American voters took Trumps first-term hard work on the border for granted, and by electing Biden opened the floodgates to millions. This time, let's understand and appreciate how important a secure border is, and make clear that we are never going back.CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM DAVID MARCUS
