Omnibus bill earmarks $750K for trans group that wants to inject LGBTQ 'discourse' in elementary schools | Fox News:
The massive $1.7 trillion omnibus bill that was made public by federal lawmakers Tuesday includes a $750,000 earmark for a Los Angeles-based transgender Latina group that wants to "dismantle" the U.S. criminal justice system and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and inject "transgender history and discourse" into elementary schools, among other progressive initiatives.
The release of the bill, which spans 4,155 pages, came after negotiations between Senate Republicans and House and Senate Democrats. The sprawling package, which contains $858 billion in defense spending and $772.5 billion in non-defense discretionary spending, has to pass by the end of the week to avoid a partial government shutdown.

Today’s blacklisted American: Law firm fires lawyer of 44 years for expressing the wrong opinion
"They’re coming for you next:
"They’re coming for you next:
The law firm Hogan Lovells recently fired a partner lawyer with 44 years of experience, Robin Keller, simply because she dared at a company meeting to express some rational reasons why Roe v Wade should have been overturned.
- As Keller wrote, “I was invited to participate in what was billed as a ‘safe space’ for women at the firm to discuss the decision. It might have been a safe space for some, but it wasn’t safe for me.”
- She recounts how “Three weeks later I received a letter stating that the firm had concluded that my reference to comments labeling black abortion rates genocide was a violation of the antiharassment policy.”
- Apparently, “a participant complained that she could not breathe and others called her a racist.” These crybabies then demanded she be fired, and the company quickly acquiesced...

Once Title 42 expires Mexican drug cartels will gain complete control of our southwest border | Fox News:
Never in our history have the cartels generated more revenue than they do now. And it all starts by using illegal immigration to overwhelm Border Patrol resources.

Electric vehicles lose efficiency in cold weather: AAA - motor club warns drivers.
(WBBM NEWSRADIO) -- ...be advised that cold weather decreases your driving range almost by half.
“When it dips to 20 degrees and the HVAC system is being used to heat the inside of the vehicle, the average driving range is decreased by 41 percent,” Hart says.
That means instead of getting 100 miles of combined urban and highway driving, the range at 20 degrees would be reduced to 59 miles."

Crossing the Rubicoin - Doomberg
Crossing the Rubicoin - Doomberg"...There is one overarching and inescapable conclusion drawn from its pages: Johnson was a grotesquely corrupt person willing to say and do anything to accumulate power and enrich himself.
- Elected to Congress in his late twenties, Johnson was known for handing out literal bags of cash to politicians in pursuit of the legislative goals of his powerful commercial sponsors...
- Johnson proudly made a mockery of his dishonesty, openly referring to himself as “Landslide Lyndon” as he continued his ascension up the US political power ladder.
- When Johnson entered Congress, he was dirt poor and obsessed with money...and yet managed to retire with a fortune that would be valued well in excess of $100 million today...
What separates Johnson’s story from other tales of political venality is the vast impact of his legacy.
The average US citizen’s trust in government peaked at 77% during Johnson’s time as President and has drifted lower ever since, sitting at just 20% today...

ICE training videos reveal agency lost track of 150K illegal migrants due to Biden admin's lack of processing | Fox News:
EXCLUSIVE: New excerpts from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) training videos reveal the challenges faced by border officials due to the Biden administration's relaxed "no processing" immigration policy, which resulted in the government losing track of at least 150,000 illegal migrants in the summer of 2021.
The videos, first obtained by Fox News Digital, show border officials discussing logistical issues they are dealing with after hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants were released into the interior of the country without thorough processing. The training videos span from November 2021 to February 2022 and are included as part of discovery in an ongoing lawsuit by Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody against the Department of Homeland Security and other border agencies.
