How do you spell hypocrite? D-E-M-O-C-R-A-T. The Biden White House press secretary is quite worried about — wait for it — the ruling Venezuelan president’s attempts to exclude his political opponent from the ballot.

While New York is swamped by the flood of “asylum seekers” coming across the nation’s southern border, one group in particular is setting down roots in the city, according to the New York Post.
