[ad_1] The Biden administration’s Department of Justice and FBI were aware that the Southern Poverty Law Center was paying “informants” in the KKK — and according to former Obama official Norm Eisen, that apparently means donors have nothing to be upset about. Read Full Article ⟶ [ad_2] Source link

[ad_1] Photograph Source: Global Sumud Flotilla On April 30th Israeli commandos committed an act of state terrosim in international waters off the coast of Crete — more than a thousand kilometers from occupied Palestine. They seized vessels of the Global Sumud Flotilla, detained activists, and singled out two men for special cruelty: Brazilian Thiago Ávila and Spanish-Palestinian Saif Abu Keshek. These two remain imprisoned in Israel without charge. Reports from released activists describe brutal treatment: activists were beaten, kicked, subjected to painful stress positions, and threatened with execution. Many suffered broken bones, head injuries, and deliberate denial of medical care.…

[ad_1] With gasoline prices a hot issue for voters as the midterm elections approach, President Donald Trump said he is making progress.  A reporter asked Trump on May 7 about average gasoline prices recently rising past $4.50 a gallon nationally.  Trump replied, “Gas prices have come down today. Have you looked? They’ve come down very substantially today.”  That’s inaccurate. According to the American Automobile Association, the national average price for a gallon of gasoline rose each day for four days preceding Trump’s remark. The day after he spoke, May 8, prices dropped by about a penny per gallon. Crude oil…

[ad_1] Carmen Navas spent a year going from prison to prison looking for her son Víctor Hugo Quero Navas, who was arrested last year by Venezuela’s military intelligence. She filed petitions and sought proof that he was still alive, but prison officials stonewalled her. This week, the regime led by Venezuelan dictator Delcy Rodríguez finally admitted that Víctor died 10 months ago. He was 51. Víctor was a karate teacher and street vendor who sold jeans and nutritional supplements and supported his mother with his meager earnings. He was known as “the Russian” because of his blond hair and light eyes.…

[ad_1] Alchemy CEO Nikil Viswanathan argues the global financial system was designed for humans, but the next wave of commerce will be driven by AI agents that operate natively in crypto. What to know: Crypto matches how agents operate, being borderless, continuous, and fully digital, said Nikil Viswanathan, co-founder and CEO of Alchemy. Complexity like keys and code is a feature for agents, not a barrier. AI agents will sit on top of crypto rails, handling transactions while humans interact through simpler interfaces, he argued. The modern financial system was never designed for machines. It was built around the constraints…

[ad_1] Megyn Kelly is joined by Sohrab Ahmari, U.S. editor at Unherd, and Sean Davis, co-founder of The Federalist, to discuss California Democrats supporting illegals over Americans on the governor debate stage, openly admitting immigrants are the only way California is growing, and more. From Wednesday’s broadcast of “The Megyn Kelly Show” on SiriusXM: MEGYN KELLY: [California Democratic gubernatorial candidates] were basically owning that last night. So, Rob, basically being like, look, Katie Porter, I think, was the one who said it. Like, the only the only new people who are coming here are illegals. So, yeah, we need to…

[ad_1] A secretive memo from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) was recently issued to local law enforcement partners, barring them from answering questions about their role in immigration enforcement. This new directive raises concerns over the increased entanglement between federal and local law enforcement and the transparency of public records during President Donald Trump’s ongoing immigration crackdown.  Anonymous federal sources told The Florida Trib that a memo was emailed between April 19 and May 5 to hundreds of local agencies in Texas and Florida participating in the 287(g) program, which allows local officers to conduct certain immigration enforcement operations. The…

[ad_1] Severe drought has dominated the West, leading to larger wildfires. Photo by George Wuerthner. If you want to understand why we are seeing larger wildfires, severe drought, and higher temperatures, I suggest the mantra should be “it’s the climate, stupid.” Yet, it appears that most agencies, many scientists (who are paid by the Forest Service and timber industry), and far too many conservation groups, blame recent large blazes on “over dense” forests that are “unhealthy” and in need of thinning (read logging). Natural sources of mortality, like bark beetles, are indicators of “healthy forests” where ecological processes still function.…

[ad_1] Many might not know, but I won my first race by a single vote to be mayor of Braddock, a small steel town – one of the poorest in the commonwealth of Pennsylvania – where 90 percent of the population has left. It was a forgotten community. [ad_2] Source link
