Texas authorities have started to build a large tent city in the expectation of a large influx of migrants across the state's border with Mexico, a Sputnik correspondent reports.
The massive white tents are said to be able to house thousands of people as well as the thousands of illegal immigrants who have already arrived in recent weeks. Several large commercial trucks were seen near the construction site, thought to be delivering building materials to the area. At the same time, nothing was reported at the official level about a camp being built

🌴President Biden, who has already set a record for the number of days' vacation he has taken, is flying to the Caribbean to celebrate the New Year.
Back in September, the Republicans reckoned that the incumbent president rested more than 40 percent of his working time and in October, the American media cited statistics revealing that the head of state had spent 172 days - a quarter of his term - in the family residence, more days than had ever been spent by any other holders of the role.
The White House previously provided the reassurance that the president can carry out his work from anywhere. Biden will not return to the American capital this time until 2 January

Whoopi Goldberg Doubles Down on Her Scandalous Holocaust View During a January episode of the ABC daytime talk show "The View", the celebrity claimed that the Holocaust wasn't about race but rather people's inhumanity to others. Her comments sparked public…
Whoopi Goldberg has apologized after receiving a backlash for repeating her statement in a recent interview that the Holocaust was not based on race.
🤨 Earlier, the actress was suspended from participating in The View chat show for saying that the Holocaust was not related to race, but rather the violence of "whites against whites" and "the inhumanity of man towards man".
Despite this contradiction and the subsequent apology, Goldberg happily repeated her controversial comments last week when it was pointed out that the Nazis definitely believed that the Holocaust was related to race. Now the pressure is mounting as some are calling for ABC to fire the host as rival networks home in on the anti-Semitism scandal
