As of Tuesday afternoon, the GoFundMe page had reached roughly $3,083,144 of its initial goal of $1,000,000. The GoFundMe page surpassed $1,000,000 raised for the victims just hours after the page had been created.
He notes: “The problem is America has the most useless aristocrats in history.
Even the French dandies who were marched to the razor by the Jacobins were towering specimens of humanity compared to the Michael Hayden’s, John Brennan's, James Clapper's, Mike McFall's, and Rick Stengel's who make up America's self-appointed speech police.
In pre-revolutionary France, even the most drunken, depraved, debauched libertine had to be prepared to back up an insolent act with a sword fight to the death.
Our aristocrats pee themselves at a mean tweet.
These people have no honor, no belief, no poetry, no art, no humor, no patriotism, which is unique to them, no loyalty, no dreams, and no accomplishments.
They are simultaneously illiterate and pretentious, which is very hard to pull off...
Comer has noted that the Biden-Harris administration has not been cooperative in the past when the House panel asked for information on Walz.
“On August 16, 2024, the Committee requested information about the CCP-affiliated entities and officials with which Mr. Timothy Walz has engaged, as well as any warnings or information the Federal Bureau of Investigation has provided to Mr. Walz or his office about CCP influence operations,” Comer noted in a September news release.
As the actual killer winds and storms from Hurricane Helene dissipate, residents of multiple southeastern states, Florida, Georgia and North Carolina in particular, are getting a look at what's left of their communities after one of the most devastating storms ever.
And it's not good.
Zach Dasher, of Swannanoa, N.C., said it's complete devastation there. Absolute decimation.
“Under current processes, CBP and ICE cannot ensure they are keeping high-risk noncitizens without identification from entering the country.
Additionally, TSA cannot ensure its vetting and screening procedures prevent high-risk noncitizens who may pose a threat to the flying public from boarding domestic flights.”
The report says CBP and ICE accept “self reported biographical information, which they use to give migrants immigration forms, who are then able to get on domestic flights, even if they don’t have ID. The IG says he asked DHS for data on the number of noncitizens who did not have ID and were released into the U.S. between fiscal years 2021-2023, but CBP and ICE were unable to provide the data because they don’t log whether a noncitizen had ID in their databases...
Carol Beth Litkouhi sought course materials for a high school class titled “A History of Ethnic and Gender Studies.” After reaching out to the teacher and school administrators without success, Litkouhi filed a FOIA request at the recommendation of the district.
Despite the course having been taught for more than six months, the district refused to provide all the requested materials. The district argued that it was not required to obtain records held by individual teachers.
In February, the Michigan Court of Appeals ruled in favor of the school district, stating that only records possessed by a public body itself —not by its employees — are subject to FOIA.
This decision, now left intact by the Michigan Supreme Court’s refusal to hear the appeal, fundamentally alters the scope of FOIA by putting severe restrictions on how it applies to local government.
The records used or created by many public employees may now be kept secret, despite these records being for a public purpose and funded by taxpayers...
"You've got a city that's in absolute turmoil," he said, referring to Springfield. "Everybody's against everybody."
One of Duncan's most significant concerns is the increase in traffic accidents caused by Haitian drivers, who often are not licensed to operate vehicles, he said.
He told Blaze News that Tremont City law enforcement is doing everything possible to crack down on the potentially deadly crashes but noted that Springfield appears to be protecting Haitian nationals from facing any real consequences for reckless driving.
"People that shouldn't be driving, they're out there and they're allowing them to drive," Duncan remarked.
