Since my dad was both a radar man and in the FAA, I’ve always had a love of the NORAD Tracks Santa program run every Christmas Eve out of Colorado Springs

Looking forward to Nancy Mace’s condemnation of these men in a women’s bathroom.
ICE agents illegally break into a woman's bathroom in a NY nutrition bar manufacturing plant. "Pull up your pants," says a male agent. The agents only had a warrant to review employer documents. They didn't have a warrant to search for, detain, or arrest anyone there.

Turning Point USA calls me and other teachers “radical” for teaching honest history.
But here’s the truth: THEY are the indoctrinators.
They don’t teach inquiry.
They don’t teach evidence.

In Georgia, a mom facing eviction reached out to DFCS for help. They offered her nothing. Soon the agency took her kids away because of "inadequate housing."

The state then paid *$6,200 a month* to house her kids in foster care.

One of the most important and infuriating stories I read this year:
When Families Need Housing, Georgia Will Pay for Foster Care Rather Than Provide Assistance
In more than 700 cases over five years, Georgia reported inadequate housing as the sole reason for taking a child into foster care, a WABE and ProPublica analysis found. Advocates say it would be chea...

That’s it for CBS. We should no longer watch anything produced by this media platform.

Before and after DOJ realized they left Trump’s name in an Epstein document:
🚨 The DOJ appears to have redacted Donald Trump’s name from the allegations made in this exhibit in the Epstein files.

Trump’s name was in the original release. Now, it’s blacked out.

See for yourself.

WELKER: Why was this photo of a desk with a drawer open containing photos of Trump taken down?

BLANCHE: You can see in that photo there are photos of women. We learned there were concerns about them.

W: Are you saying those women are victims of Epstein?

B: No, that's not what I'm saying.

Everybody demanding immediate action by Congress, remember options narrow. A "criminal referral" of wrongdoing of DoJ goes to.. DoJ. Congress has no independent criminal enforcement authority. Sure they thought about options. Don't expect anything immediate. That is the point of an autocracy.

Justice for Epstein’s victims requires full transparency and accountability.

Yet AG Pam Bondi seems happy to blatantly defy the law explicitly requiring the release of the files with redactions for victims only.

This lawless administration knows no bounds.

Release the full files now.
