The tragic LaGuardia crash hits close to home — rewatching Sully feels real, with Capt. Sullenberger facing impossible choices after takeoff from that very same airport. Heroism in crisis. ✈️🎬 #Sully #LaGuardia

Smashing statues of Jesus and Mary on public (subsidised and state approved) television and encouraging others to do the same as ‘stress relief’: ❌ not a hatecrime Teenagers sending ‘racist’ memes in a private (!) group chat: ✅ hatecrime, prison sentence for them and also for me “because I should have stopped them”

Project for Immigration Reform
The United States isn’t a jobs program for Nigerians. It’s best if he uses his skills to improve Nigeria.
Max Akonde, Ph.D.@EpiAkonde

I just got off the phone with my Nigerian friend. The consequences of the Visa ban imposed under President Trump are far more reaching than I initially thought. In total, 75 countries are facing some ban of some shape or form with 19 full ban. Out of the 75, 25 are African countries of which Nigeria is one. Now my friend just finished his PhD and under the “normal” dispensation could apply for optional practical training (OPT) and get it approved within 3 months which allow him to stay and work for 1 year and could be extended for additional 2 years because he is in a stem field. Under the current visa ban, he cannot get his OPT processed within 3 months. He is on an indefinite wait and without the OPT, he cannot work. So he either leaves the country and forfeit the OPT or stay without job. That’s the hardest point you can be in the US where you don’t get a pause on bills or a friend or family to borrow money to hold body. And just thinking through this, I find that many internationals may be in a similar or worse situation. For medical doctors who came on J1 or H1B, you’re expected to transition into permanent residency after your training. J1 and H1B only commits you to your facility of training for the period of the training especially for the J1. Now after 3 years in residency, if you’re from an affected country, you cannot be processed for any other immigration benefits. The is worse because if you did not start the permanent residency application and gotten the first part approved before the executive order, there is no where to turn; not even the indefinite wait. So you will have to leave the US within 60 days on completing your residency This is such a tragedy for everyone including some of the US industries such as the healthcare sector that will be losing thousands of the US trained physicians. I see most of these physicians moving to Canada, Australia or New Zealand where they would not be required to take further testing before practicing. But that in itself will take them months if not years to apply for appropriate immigration benefits. To what end….?

She waited as long as she could. She wanted to be respectful. Thune deserves every word...
DataRepublican (small r)@DataRepublican

Hello Senator Thune, Let's expose what you're really doing with "reconciliation." You announced it yesterday, eleven months after the House passed the SAVE America Act. You're not trying to pass this bill. You're trying to kill it in a way you can blame on process. Here's how we know: Reconciliation requires the Senate parliamentarian to rule that provisions are "budgetary." Citizenship verification is not budgetary. Photo ID mandates are not budgetary. The parliamentarian will gut the bill. Then you'll shrug and say "we tried." We see through you. Meanwhile, you WON'T use the tools that actually work: Rule XIX limits each senator to two speeches per legislative day. Keep the Senate in continuous session, file cloture daily, and the filibuster exhausts in ~12-20 days. You dismissed it as "complicated." Because if you tried and succeeded, you'd have to actually pass the bill. Harry Reid nuked the filibuster in 2013 when he wanted results. Mitch McConnell changed Senate rules THREE times and canceled the August recess. Chuck Schumer used reconciliation within months on a 50-50 Senate. You have 53 seats. You've changed nothing, canceled nothing, and waited eleven months. Now let's talk donors: • Goldman Sachs: $150K to you - top H-1B user • Google: $75K - lobbies against E-Verify • Meta: $72.5K - Zuckerberg's FWD[.]us pushes mass immigration • Wells Fargo: $90K - banks undocumented immigrants Same corporations sponsor Punchbowl News, where you sit for "Fly Out Days" which nobody watches except Congress staffers and K Street lobbyists who pays premium bucks for legislative intelligence. Their reporter then telegraphs to the audience the SAVE Act "will ultimately fail." Corporate money flows to you AND to the outlet that frames your inaction as inevitable. We see the loop. You called grassroots anger a "paid influencer ecosystem." YOU are the paid influencer. You take the wrong side of a 80% issue because you are indistinguishable from a K Street mouthpiece, and an ineffective one to boot who won't bend the rules to get anything passed. What we want: 1. Force a real talking filibuster. 2. Stop hiding behind process. 3. Pass the SAVE America Act. YOU will become the reason that we will have our butts kicked in midterms. Not Candace Owens, not Nick Fuentes, not anyone else. You and you alone, and all because you want to make the 200 or so viewers of Punchbowl Fly Out Days happy. You're living in a K Street information bubble, addicted to the comforts and praises of lobbyists masquerading as journalists. You mistake the steak and martini dinners you get invited to as your own constituents. You are not "moderate." The SAVE America Act has 98% support among Republicans. Name one other thing that has 98% support. You are an extreme minority who prides himself on being a calm leader, when in reality you are well in the running for the most ineffective Majority leader of all time. Prove me wrong. Do the bare modicum of effort. Not symbolic. Actual effort. Cancel the recess. Get SAVE America Act passed.

So, in Colorado county judges are appointed by the woke governor and then are on the ballot for retention almost guaranteeing them a lifetime appointment. Meet LaQunya Baker, from South Carolina, who worked for James Clyburn, she's the district judge who apparently released this career criminal. Colorado, failed state.

Nearly $13K in losses and he’s already back out on the streets… Since mid-February, our suspect, 37-year-old Alfred Jones, has gone on a rampage of retail theft, targeting stores like Target, Ulta, Kohl’s and Barnes & Noble. He had racked just shy of $13K in stolen merchandise. Unbelievable. D2 officers found and arrested him last Thursday. Jones is facing four counts of theft and one count of robbery, but it doesn’t end there… He was released on a PR bond Friday. For those who need a refresher, that means a $0 bond. Jones also has a long criminal history dating back to 2009 for you guessed it: theft. You know what wasn’t $0? The nearly $13K stolen from Aurora businesses. And guess what? He was back at his favorite Target store Saturday morning, ready to do it again. Thankfully, loss prevention recognized him as he walked in and escorted him out. Some may say, “This is the cost of doing business.” We believe that’s unacceptable. Total losses for larceny in 2024 exceeded $1.8 million. ⬇️We cut that down to $870K in 2025. And that’s still too much. Jones is one of dozens of offenders who have been arrested, released, and then reoffend. We, like so many of you, want the cycle to slow and stop. That’s why we’re continuing to focus on these cases and working with our partners across the justice system to highlight the organized nature and impact of these crimes. If you see something, say something. And if this concerns you, make your voice heard with community leaders. Our businesses and our community deserve better.

This is despicable and needs to stop happening. This sort of thing has only turned out correctly one time I'm aware of: When German prosecutors noted that a Syrian migrant's low IQ was not unusual for his ethnic group, so it was not an acceptable excuse. Apply that here.

Shaquille Taylor killed Lillian Ludwig, but his IQ is TOO LOW, so courts are debating if he can stand trial. This wouldn't be the first time this has happened.
