The Del Rio Border Patrol Sector has rarely been on the national radar for illegal immigrant apprehensions. Recently, an influx of Haitian, Venezuelan, and Central American migrants have pushed the sector to the third-highest rank for migrant apprehensions. With more than one quarter of the fiscal year remaining, the Del Rio Sector has now accounted for nearly 125,000 migrants put into custody.
The current number of apprehensions made by the Del Rio Sector is the highest in 20 years. The sector arrested more than 6,000 over the last seven days. If the pace continues, Del Rio will surpass any historical one-year record in its history.

"Losers or assholes"-----The persuasive power of simplicity
Shared post - The persuasive power of simplicity
"When Trump famously proposed "Build the wall," it was one of the best examples of persuasion-by-simplicity you will ever see.
"When Trump famously proposed "Build the wall," it was one of the best examples of persuasion-by-simplicity you will ever see.
Being accurate matters for science and for budgeting. Accuracy often requires details and nuance and context and all that stuff.
But persuasion craves simplicity.
...We see this problem for the critics of Critical Race Theory.
They try to argue it is a Marxist worldview, and 95% of the country isn't quite sure that is true, and isn't quite sure why that matters, exactly.
Sounds bad, but perhaps not so bad for left-leaning people.
And that's who the right needs to persuade.
Calling CRT "anti-white" might be close to the truth, but that doesn't matter to persuasion.

The "anti-white" critique sounds exactly like a Fox News talking point, and not something moderates would take seriously...Read all.

Senate Democrats Block GOP Effort to End the Federal Mask Mandate
Senate Democrats Block GOP Effort to End the Federal Mask Mandate:
Senate Democrats on Wednesday blocked Sen. Rick Scott’s (R-FL) and Sen. Mike Lee’s (R-UT) effort to end the federal mask mandate requiring masks to be worn on public transportation, with Scott concluding Democrats only care about following “their political science.”
Last week, Scott introduced the Stop Mandating Additional Requirements for Travel (SMART) Act, which would bar the federal government from requiring Americans to wear masks on public transportation, but he could not garner unanimous consent to get the bill out of committee and onto the floor.

"They would like us to believe that what we can see happening right in front of our eyes is not actually real.
Over the past year, our politicians in Washington have gone on the largest spending binge in U.S. history by a very wide margin, and the Federal Reserve has created the most enormous financial bubble of all time by pumping trillions upon trillions of fresh dollars into the financial markets.
Of course this was going to cause very painful inflation, and prices are rising very aggressively all around us.
But Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell and other leaders in Washington are trying to convince us that even though they added all of this money to the system it has hardly affected the overall rate of inflation at all.
They are “gaslighting” us, and it is absolutely infuriating...Read all!

Where is the liberal outrage?-----Homicides Have Skyrocketed in These 6 Democratic Cities
"The number of homicides in six major cities across the country has increased compared to last year, disproportionately affecting black people, according to crime data.
Black people have represented a massive share of murder victims in six major cities through the first six months of 2021 compared to last year, which itself saw a large crime surge, according to data analyzed by The Daily Caller News Foundation.

Horowitz: As the CDC rushes to experiment on children, its own data show K-12 likely have herd immunity - TheBlaze:
We know from most places in the country, including the Los Angeles area, that the virus essentially became extinct when they reached the 40% infection mark. The virus seemed to wane in almost every part of the country when serology tests showed about 40% with antibodies, and if the CDC is estimating that school-age children had an even slightly higher rate, it means they are certainly immune without the vaccine. In other words, not only is the virus not serious enough to experiment with a new vaccine for children, it has likely passed.
Credit Reporting May Be a Precursor to Discriminatory Lending Quotas
Credit Reporting May Be a Precursor to Discriminatory Lending Quotas
"Ostensibly to deter such discrimination, a proposal in Congress (HR 1443) would require small-business lenders to furnish data to the federal Consumer Financial Protection Bureau detailing the LGBTQ business ownership status of credit applicants.
That mirrors current law imposing similar reporting on female or minority business ownership.

But regardless of the supposed intent of the bill’s proponents, reporting requirements serve as a next step in bringing quotas to the credit markets.

Soooo, they're lying. What are they doing to to your food?????-----Adding ‘Equity’ Charges to Customers’ Checks to Fight Oppression
- Will making customers pay “equity” charges backfire? Probably.
...On its website, Broders’ has a notice to customers notifying them of a new 15 percent “benefits and equity” charge they’ve instituted.
They justify the charge,
- first, by explaining that “many states have allowed reduced minimum wages for service staff in the form of a tip credit.” (More on this in a minute.)
- The restaurant’s second justification is that many tippers are racist and sexist, according to uncited research. “Studies have also shown that there is inequity and built-in bias in the way consumers give tips,” the statement reads. “In general, Black or Brown servers receive less tips than Caucasian servers. There is gender bias as well.”

Black Holes Are Connected To ‘Racial Blackness,’ Cornell U Course Says
"An astronomy course at prestigious Cornell University, concerned about racism in the universe, not just Planet Earth, asked the deathless question: “Is there a connection between the cosmos and the idea of racial blackness?”
...the course, titled “Black Holes: Race and the Cosmos,”...catalog description reads:
'Conventional wisdom would have it that the “black” in black holes has nothing to do with race. ...Contemporary Black Studies theorists, artists, fiction writers implicitly and explicitly posit just such a connection.
Theorists use astronomy concepts like “black holes” and “event horizons” to interpret the history of race in creative ways, while artists and musicians conjure blackness through cosmological themes and images. Co-taught by professors in Comparative Literature and Astronomy, this course will introduce students to the fundamentals of astronomy concepts through readings in Black Studies...Read all.

In a BuzzFeed News article published Tuesday, 35 readers provided feedback to a public response form about what $10,000 in student loan debt forgiveness would mean for them. Some of the results were shocking.
A surprising number of responders lamented the burden that taking out loans for school has laid on them — while simultaneously pledging to return to school if the debt is forgiven (emphasis added):
