Federal immigration teams in New Orleans this week arrested dozens of criminal aliens accused of violent and predatory crimes, including rapists, thieves, human smugglers, domestic abusers, and child endangerers.

The Gut Punch - by Michael Smith - Unlicensed Punditry

In a system where only the principled face consequences, cynicism becomes the rational response. - Michael Smith

• Just saw an article about the Oregon nurse who raised attention when she cheered Shiri Biba’s death and tweeted to a Jewish woman: “I would refuse to treat you. I’m not a vet. I don’t treat dogs.” Unsurprisingly, she faced no consequences...
• The Maryland Man is still walking the streets as city governments and law “enforcement” agencies affirmatively state they will ignore federal law.

• Massive fraud in Minnesota? Trump’s fault for noticing...

One begins to get the idea that nothing is ever going to happen to the people who walked all over our constitution to run the country by unelected committee during the alleged Biden Administration...

Former prosecutor exposes massive Minnesota government fraud failures | Fox News

Former prosecutor exposes massive Minnesota government fraud failures | Fox News: 

"The amount of fraud was rampant, it was staggering, and happened really, really quickly. Just over the course of a couple years, the amount of fraud that happened in Minnesota is maybe in excess or probably in excess of a billion dollars, and one of the main prosecutors in a lot of the fraud, the former acting U.S. Attorney Joe Thompson, said the number was likely over $2 billion. So that is what we're dealing with. It's a travesty that our hard-earned taxpayer dollars are being wasted away."

The idea that the average IQs of different ethnic groups vary has fallen from favour in recent years.

Victor Davis Hanson: Chaos is the Democrats' Only Agenda

Bombast replaces policy because Democrats know they don’t have a real platform to run on.

• They still haven’t offered a serious immigration plan, health-care fix, or crime strategy to counter Trump—despite having months to do it. 
• And they’re betting the noise will make voters forget the inflation, regulation, and stagnation created on their watch.

Don’t fall for the diversions. 

The emptiness of their agenda is the whole point.

Trump administration stops $1 billion in student aid fraud schemes | Fox News

Trump administration stops $1 billion in student aid fraud schemes | Fox News: 

FIRST ON FOX: The Department of Education thwarted more than $1 billion in student aid fraud under President Donald Trump's first year in office, including stopping suspected bots and "ghost students" from obtaining taxpayer-funded loans, Fox News Digital learned.  Officials say the savings come from new "enhanced fraud controls" the department implemented in June to combat fraudsters from working to obtain financial assistance loans from colleges.  College officials and cybersecurity experts in recent years have pointed to a new scam trend of "ghost students," which are fabricated or stolen identities created solely to enroll, trigger financial aid disbursements and then disappear.

But the gap in footage certainly raises many questions, especially when the FBI, before recent events, had identified over 39,000 video frames of the suspect, but had made no arrests. -  Rusty Weiss

• "We do have the January 5th video, but we've been told that no one ever preserved January 6th."

• This creates the impression that they are hiding from a mob and just want to be left alone, and the NYT will run this pic regardless of whether the subject started the fight in the first place. 
• The second picture has the subject walking in a park or a garden looking pensive, as if to suggest that they will bravely push through their fear and ultimately triumph over the bad guys.

Waste of the Day: “Trauma-Informed Housing” Will Get $2.5 Million

The progressive housing concept adds expenses to make sure residents experience “safety and trust; choice and empowerment; community and collaboration; and beauty and joy,” according to the Urban Institute. -  Jeremy Portnoy - 

• It is unclear what company will be designing Santa Fe’s proposed housing development, but there has been a national push by groups, including the Urban Institute, the Preservation of Affordable Housing and more, to create housing systems that address trauma. 
• That can include anxiety, past experiences with racism, or even memories of the Covid-19 pandemic.
•  The groups argue that “the housing system intersects with other systems that cause trauma” and can “disempower or remind people of their trauma.”..

Literally the EASIEST challenge ever

Team Biden Bathed America In Solar Panels While Reportedly Ignoring China Sabotage Warning | The Daily Caller

Team Biden Bathed America In Solar Panels While Reportedly Ignoring China Sabotage Warning | The Daily Caller: 

Biden-era officials reportedly overlooked warnings that imported Chinese solar panel components posed risks to the American power grid, The Washington Post reported Wednesday.

America’s reliance on Chinese-linked solar panel inverters gives China an opportunity to sabotage the U.S. power grid, the Post reported, citing new research from Strider Technologies. The report and cybersecurity experts warned that this dependency poses a national security threat as the inverter devices in solar panels could be remotely triggered to precipitate cascading blackouts, the Post noted.

Americans priced out while foreigners pour in: Trump admin report slams Biden for spike in rental costs | Blaze Media: 

HUD argued that the uptick in immigration caused increases in housing demand and, in turn, prices.

"Between 2021 and 2024, the foreign-born population of the United States increased by more than six million — the largest such increase over such a short period in American history. The foreign-born population now stands at more than 53 million individuals, making up the highest share of the American population in history," HUD reported.
