Investigation finds 107 Chinese owned surrogacy companies just in Southern California offering American birthright citizenship services exclusively to the elite in China People here in America are being paid $60k to carry babies, the baby gets citizenship and is shipped back to China “$60 grand to carry the child. The child is born. The child will be a U.S citizen because they were born here also. Their biological mother is American. They will then be picked up oftentimes by a third party, not even by the dad picked up by a third party and sent back to China — Just in Southern California, we found 107 Chinese owned surrogacy companies that are offering these services in China to members of the elite. So this is a huge, huge, huge problem”

This morning, active duty Jacksonville Fire and Rescue Department Engineer Colton Tibbetts passed away. He was a beloved son, brother, friend, and a dedicated firefighter who served our community with pride. Colton followed in his father Brian’s footsteps when he joined JFRD three years ago. In November, he was promoted to Engineer at just 22 years old, a reflection of his commitment, work ethic, and the firefighter he was becoming. We ask that you keep the Tibbetts family, his crew, and all members of JFRD in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

@maddiedreese I read that as “Iran Claude Code”. And in my mind I was like “Oh shit, the enemy got us!”

I ran Claude Code on a Nintendo Switch! Here's how. The original 2017 Switch has an unpatchable hardware exploit (Fusée Gelée) that allows you to boot into Recovery Mode by shorting two pins in the Joy-Con rail. I used a folded piece of aluminum foil instead of a commercial RCM jig (because I didn’t want to wait for Amazon delivery, haha). From there: • Injected @CTCaer Hekate bootloader payload via a browser-based tool • Partitioned the SD card and installed @switchroot_org's L4T Ubuntu Noble 24.04 • Installed @claudeai Code using the native Linux installer • Ran it successfully from the terminal on the Switch's Tegra X1 chip The entire process is non-destructive if you copy everything from the Switch’s SD card and save it. The Switch's internal storage is never touched because everything lives on the SD card. To restore, you just reformat the card and copy your original files back.

Fun little experiment!

#Platoon director Oliver Stone says Americans “haven’t learned anything from Vietnam.” “It’s just ridiculous that we’re back in this state of loving war again,” he tells Variety. “We just continue to militarize and build up our defense budget. We continued to dominate and bully and threaten. The war in Iraq was the greatest disaster since Vietnam. George Bush, the worst single president we’ve ever had. What did Iraq get us? It drained our wealth and made us callous as a nation. And now Mr. Trump is [starting] a war in Iran, and he’s playing the same game with Cuba and Venezuela. It’s like the Roman Empire. We never learn our lesson.” wp.me/pc8uak-1lH08T

@practicalpecker @Variety Biden isn't anywhere near the worst president we've had. Get the fuck out of here. Every Republican president since the 80s has found a way to get our soldiers killed by waging war under false pretenses

- Afghanistan withdrawal (Aug 2021): The chaotic evacuation left 13 U.S. troops dead, enabled the rapid Taliban takeover, abandoned over $7 billion in equipment, and triggered a massive humanitarian disaster. - Inflation surge: Skyrocketing prices hit a 9.1% peak—the highest in 40 years—with roughly 20% cumulative inflation driven by massive spending bills that overheated the economy and crushed real wages. - Southern border crisis: Record 10 million-plus encounters overwhelmed cities and stemmed from policy reversals that critics say deliberately incentivized historic levels of illegal migration. - Fentanyl epidemic: The deadliest drug crisis in U.S. history saw annual overdose deaths exceed 107,000—mostly fentanyl smuggled across the southern border—while administration policies failed to halt the flow despite record seizures. - Foreign policy weakness: Russia invaded Ukraine just months after Biden took office, Iran and Houthi aggression escalated sharply, and early missteps created a perceived “green light” for adversaries worldwide. - Age & reelection decision: Visible cognitive decline, the disastrous June 2024 debate, and Biden’s refusal to step aside earlier fractured the Democratic Party and handed Republicans a decisive 2024 advantage.

BREAKING: Pete Hegseth and Marco Rubio are clashing over the U.S. approach to the war with Iran, three former U.S. officials and a senior regional official told Middle East Eye. The two were described as “at each other’s throats” over whether the U.S. should deploy troops to Iran. Hegseth supports the idea, while Rubio is deeply wary of entangling the U.S. in a long war

@TGT_OAR @AprilSpark1890 Another post explains it. H1-Bs have families, usually large families. They all get to come. Their children attend American universities. The entire culture and demographic changes once you let in large amounts of H1s into a single community.
