Thank you Chuck. Throughout my limited political activity I have always come across folks that want to help. "What can I do?" Is a commonly heard question. Here is your perfect chance to do something. All politicians dislike when they get hammered for doing bad stuff. Too often they do not receive praise for doing a good thing. If you feel the urge to thank Chuck, please remember to use your indoor, civil voice. Here are the office and fax numbers to use when thanking Chuck for allowing President Trump to further streamline the bloat. Washington DC: 202-224-6542, fax 202-228-3027Albany...

Immigration anxieties and a challenging job market have sparked an online backlash over China’s latest attempt at attracting global talent — a new visa program announced in August.The program, which was rolled out on Wednesday with the aim of attracting foreign professionals, will also test how China balances its immigration policy with its pursuit of technological ambitions.Under the new rules, young graduates — in the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics or STEM — no longer need backing from a local employer and can enjoy more flexibility in terms for entry frequency and duration of stay.

As Washington enters a government shutdown, the Trump administration has erected safeguards to ensure President Donald Trump’s most hardline priorities continue unscathed.Agencies central to Trump’s agenda are shielding certain programs by declaring the federal employees who work on them essential or sheltering them under already approved funding streams — designations that will allow them to keep running through the funding lapse. (snip) “Remember Rahm Emanuel’s great quote: ‘You should never waste a crisis,’” said former House Speaker Newt Gingrich. “Rahm Emanuel should be proud of the Trump team because they’re prepared to say, ‘Every day this is shut, we will...

Italy’s navy will stop following the international flotilla heading to Gaza once it gets within 150 nautical miles (278 km) of the shore, the Italian defense ministry said on Tuesday. The Global Sumud Flotilla, consisting of more than 40 civilian boats carrying parliamentarians, lawyers, and activists including Swedish climate campaigner Greta Thunberg, aims to break Israel’s blockade of Gaza, which has been ruled by the terrorist group Hamas for nearly two decades, and deliver some aid to the Palestinian enclave. Once the convoy reaches the 150 nautical miles limit, the Italian frigate accompanying it will stop, “as communicated several times...

Researchers have uncovered serious security flaws with the Unitree G1 humanoid robot, a machine that is already being used in laboratories and some police departments. They discovered that G1 can be used for covert surveillance and could potentially launch a full-scale cyberattack on networks.It sounds like the stuff of science fiction nightmares, robots that are secretly spying on you and could be controlled by remote hackers. However, the concern is real, as these types of robots are becoming increasingly common in homes, businesses, critical infrastructure and public spaces.When robots go rogueIn a new study available on the arXiv preprint server,...

Many come here to read dispatches from the War between Good and Evil, to red-pill and encourage.....and to pray and give thanks to the God who fights for us.Q has reminded us repeatedly that together, we are strong. As the false "narrative" is destroyed and the divisive machinery put in place by the Deep State fails, the fact that patriotism has no skin color or political party is exposed for all to see. 3038 Mar 12, 2019 2:55:14 PM EDTQ !!mG7VJxZNCI ID: 4fe510 No. 5643022>Decide for yourself (be free from outside opinion).>Decide for yourself (be objective in your conclusions).>Decide for...

The cheating scandal surrounding U.S. Rep. Mikie Sherrill (D-NJ) and her time at the U.S. Naval Academy has widened after her husband, Jason, also appears to have been implicated, according to documents reviewed by the New York Post. Last week, a bombshell report from the New Jersey Globe revealed that Sherrill was barred from walking with her class at the U.S. Naval Academy in 1994 due to her implication in a sweeping cheating scandal that implicated more than 130 midshipmen. A copy of the commencement program from May 25, 1994, which was obtained by the outlet, did not include Sherrill’s...

I'm still not sure exactly what to do with AI, but I am learning that it is a good source of compiling lots of data quickly. It seems to be good to compare products, especially when you're looking at a particular feature, and to look up information without having to go to many individual sources. I like Grok's conversational style and how it remembers the question before and will actually guide you to narrow your information request and results. Anyway, I was talking to it about the new information about Jan 6th, and its first response mentioned " conspiracy theories",...

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Thursday said that Medals of Honor for soldiers who took part in an 1890 massacre of Native Americans would not be revoked. More than 300 Lakota Sioux men, women and children were killed by U.S. Army soldiers on Dec. 29, 1890, in one of the deadliest attacks on Native Americans by the United States military. The Lakota people had gathered to resist government control in an area of South Dakota that is now part of the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation..... In 2019, Democratic lawmakers, led by Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, introduced legislation to revoke...

Did anyone ever really believe that men could become women? ‘Tipping Point’ author Malcolm Gladwell helped answer that question when he recently apologized for publicly asserting that men could change sex and fairly compete against women in sports because he was “cowed”. No one bothered to follow up with the more interesting question, ‘What is Malcolm still too cowed to say in public’? It’s a question that also ought to be addressed to the various public figures, politicians, intellectuals and talkers, who have recanted the transgender heresy. We know that they claimed to believe in one obviously wrong thing because...

America needs more people like this lady. Let's welcome them.

(The Center Square) - Former Oklahoma schools Superintendent Ryan Walters announced this past week a partnership with Turning Point USA to initiate chapters at every high school in the state. Since the brutal assassination of Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University, many have debated what this means for freedom of speech and freedom of religion in America. Schools and colleges across the country have started TPUSA chapters, growing the conservative movement in a matter of days. TPUSA posted on X that six days after Kirk’s killing, the organization received 54,000 requests from high school and college students nationwide to start...

OREM, Utah (KSL) – Students from a school in Utah are traumatized after a classmate brought a gun on a field trip and shot themselves in front of others. Police said the ninth grader from Canyon View Junior High shot themselves while on a field trip at South Fork Park. That student was flown to a local hospital, where they died. KSL does not normally report on suicides, but because the student brought a gun to school and fired it in front of other students, it brings it to another level. A group of ninth grade students put up a...

The orchestrated walkout by the Islamic-lobby-dominated Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) during Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s address at the United Nations was not just a diplomatic stunt—it was a blatant act of intellectual cowardice and a disgraceful betrayal of the UN’s core principles. While Israel stood on the global stage advocating for peace, coexistence, and the fundamental right to self-defense, OIC nations chose petulance over dialogue. This wasn't a protest—it was a refusal to hear the truth. Their exit marked yet another example of the Islamic bloc’s long-standing strategy: silence Israeli voices rather than engage with them, smear Israel rather...

Behar: "It's funny, under Obama and Biden it was working. All of a sudden it's not working. Gee, what happened?!" ... Cohost Ana Navarro claimed that Trump had only gotten reelected in 2024 because he’d been out of office for four years, and in that time, people “had forgotten how bad Trump was. I think it meant a lot to people in 2020 when Joe Biden was first running because we were just surviving that first Trump term.”
