[ad_1] Robby Soave and Christian Britschgi revisit the COVID-19 era through the lens of then-White House coronavirus adviser Anthony Fauci’s newly released diary and testimony before Congress.

This is not a handful of bomb shelters scattered throughout the city, but rather an underground city stretching beneath the capital, consisting of more than 5,500 reinforced shelters connected by tunnels carved directly into solid granite. They can be converted from civilian use into military-grade protection in as little as 72 hours. Engineered to withstand explosions, chemical attacks, biological threats, radiation, and the collapse of the world above. The shelters contain independent power systems, water supplies, communications networks,…

[ad_1] Leo Feler, an American citizen and homeowner in Chicago, was away on a business trip when he received an alert from his Ring doorbell. What he saw when he answered left him traumatized as he watched masked, heavily armed Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents raid, search, and damage his property—all without a warrant and in violation of his constitutional rights.  Last fall, during the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) Operation Midway Blitz, Feler hired a reputable contractor to have the windows and siding replaced on his home, a three-unit residential building on the city’s north side, according to…

[ad_1] Police officers were placed in Iowa schools to keep students safe from violence, but the threat they most commonly deal with is illicit vaping, according to a report released today by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Iowa. The ACLU of Iowa used public records requests and federal data to study the impact of the increase in school resource officers (SROs) across school districts in the state. The report cited examples of what the civil liberties group says is the unnecessary use of SROs to handle classroom discipline issues: Besides fighting the proliferation of tobacco and THC vapes,…
