'Pro-criminal alien policies': Local officials subpoenaed by Congress over immigration practices * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh
'Pro-criminal alien policies': Local officials subpoenaed by Congress over immigration practices * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh:
Just review how many local jurisdictions have claimed to be "sanctuary" cities where illegal aliens are protected from the federally defined consequences of their own illegal behavior.
Those policies, in fact, are set by the president, and there is oversight by Congress for the impact of the laws it has adopted.
New York's Board of Regents just voted to stop requiring students to pass Regents exams to graduate.
The class of 2028 will be the first to earn a diploma without passing one. - The College Investor

- When a student arrives at college underprepared, they pay tuition for remedial courses that award no degree credit.

Victor Davis Hanson: Mark Carney Is Leading Canada ‘Right Over the Cliff’
His economy has lost 41,000 jobs.
It depends on exporting to the United States 72% to 76% of all of its products. - Victor Davis Hanson...he depends on a 4 million-barrel export a day to the United States...
- This new relationship with China, they’re bringing in 48,000 low-tariff...EVs. They’re going to ruin what little they had left of the Canadian auto industry.
- But more importantly, that trade agreement is ushering in a whole set of new agreements, some of them military.
Does Canada know, does Mark Carney know, that if Canada negotiates a special military relationship with China and it’s on our borders and we have NATO relations, that will endanger the alliance and it will permanently wreck the relationship between Canada and the United States?...

With tight city budgets, a reasonable question!-----Is It Time to Stop Funding Libraries?
Have you been to the library lately? I bet you haven’t. - Derek HunterFollow @derekahunter
There are two types of libraries: the small ones in rural communities, and the large ones in major cities.
Why would you go when you have everything they offer available to you at home, either delivered immediately digitally, or the next day physically?
- It begs the question: why are we still paying for them?
There are two types of libraries: the small ones in rural communities, and the large ones in major cities.
- The small ones are cesspools of left-wing propaganda – go to one and look at the children’s book section and you’ll see “graphic novels” that would put the Penthouse letters section to shame. There are drawings for kids that, if they were photographs, would be a crime...
- The big city libraries are glorified homeless shelters. It would be child abuse to bring your kid there without an armed guard. The smell of body odor and weed has tattooed itself to the books and walls, and whispers of “Quiet, please” have been replaced by grunting junkies if you happen to disturb their high.

Excellent site, much here!-----Cyber Warfare, explained
Some countries use cyber tools to steal money as a source of income.
- Digital (or cyber) space is now seen as the 5th area of military activity, alongside land, sea, air and space.
- Cyber space has no international treaty.
There is no agreement on what counts as an act of war, and what is a legal response to a state-sponsored cyberattack.
- A zero-day is a flaw in a computer program that is known to hackers but not to the developer.
- A zero-day can be hidden until used to attack a system...
Crossfire Hurricane emails show FBI sought to probe Elon Musk over DOGE | Fox News
Crossfire Hurricane emails show FBI sought to probe Elon Musk over DOGE | Fox News:
The records span internal FBI communications from 2017 and 2025, covering both the bureau's Russia investigation and a proposal to investigate Musk. Grassley said the exchanges reflected political bias within the bureau and showed the "Deep State" working against Trump. The documents were released as part of a broader batch involving Crossfire Hurricane and other FBI matters.
"The previous Democrat administrations under Obama and Biden conducted secret, insidious and downright evil operations that almost took down our government," Grassley said during an Oversight hearing with FBI Director Kash Patel. "That's arguably worse than Watergate."
