Millions have responded to what essentially was Biden's invitation, and now even "sanctuary" cities are complaining about the massive financial burden of caring for those millions.
Hunt explains we know the move was deliberate because Biden canceled procedures under which "we weren't talking about more than seven million illegal aliwn encounters at the southern border."
Thursday’s sporadic interruption of national cellular phone networks has raised new concerns about how a large solar flare event or an atmospheric nuclear attack could shut down a wider network of phones or even the electric grid.
While the number of phone outages was small, they showed up coast to coast, and some media spun the story up into a major crisis. “World Is Ending,” screamed the Drudge Report in a red headline.
Early indications are that it could have been caused by successive solar flares big enough to interrupt cellular service but not affect the electric grid.
Early on I was hearing it was hackers, but whatever.
The EU's Complicity in Financing the Iranian Regime :: Gatestone Instituteby Majid Rafizadeh--Behind these seemingly benign economic [trade] transactions... lies a troubling reality: the funds generated from Europe's trade with Iran are being funneled into activities that are now prolonging violence and conflict, and posing a direct threat to European, Middle Eastern and North American security interests.... Since 2012, the Iranian regime has allocated more than $13 billion to support its network of proxies.
Iran's involvement in Russia's invasion of Ukraine, further underscores the malign use of funds derived from international trade. Iran has been supplying Russia with "hundreds of Iranian drones" via a direct route on the Caspian Sea, and, according to reports, "hundreds of ballistic missiles."..
It is a must that the EU takes decisive action to cut off the flow of funds to Iran and hold its regime accountable for its support of terrorism and international aggression. Only through robust and coordinated efforts can the EU effectively counter the Iranian regime's malign activities and safeguard the stability and security of the Middle East, Europe and the Free World.

Last week, a grand jury indicted Smirnov for allegedly lying to the FBI. Special counsel David Weiss accuses Smirnov — previously a confidential human source for the FBI — of falsely claiming Ukrainian energy company Burisma paid then-Vice President Joe Biden and Hunter Biden $5 million each in 2015 and/or 2016.
Democrats are using Smirnov's arrest to absolve the Bidens of wrongdoing.
But Democrats aren't being honest, according to McCarthy, who explained on Wednesday an obvious fact: Smirnov's allegations were not the "lynchpin" of the corruption allegations.
Bureaucratic ineptitude leads to waste—and more people on the streets.
ST. LOUIS—The problem, LaPlume tells me, isn't St. Lazare's, which by all measures is an exceptional success—offering stable housing to homeless St. Louisans, plus free mental health care and life coaching, all while maintaining nearly a 100 percent retention rate of its residents.
Rather, the problem lies with the St. Louis office of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), which failed to process St. Lazare's grant renewal in time for its upcoming fiscal year, which started May 1, 2023...

Student loan "bailouts" are examples of moral hazard.
Letting criminals off without detention is moral hazard. Releasing illegal aliens with no expectation of deportation is moral hazard.
Fani Willis is a walking moral hazard.
In a way, moral hazard explains our federal government and its attendant bureaucracy, but in the linked case below, it indicates what happens when we dole out unearned money to people who have no skin in the game.
LGB group accused of ‘heteronormativity, racism and classism’

The special counsel, a former U.S. attorney, who is handling the prosecution of Hunter Biden on gun charges, and possibly more to be filed, is being accused of endangering national security through his incompetence.

It's likely unsurprising that many large corporations lobbied for the CHIPS and Science Act, including Meta, Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Apple, Northrop Grumman, Carrier, Trane, and General Dynamics, as well as labor unions like the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations and the Communications Workers of America.

The research revealed that blacks are 23.5% less likely to be shot at by police than whites. Meanwhile, Hispanics were 8.5% less likely to be shot at by police compared to whites...

He explained, "I had colleagues take me to the side and say, 'Don't publish this. You'll ruin your career.'"
The hostilities toward Fryer were so intense that he required police protection for about a month, including his then-7-day-old daughter...
