DHS was creepy and worrisome when it was created in 2002. Now it is trolling us.
A reminder for those who are not aware: "remigration" is the process of deporting all non-white people from a country. It includes citizens and is, by definition, ethnic cleansing.

Looks like the downtown mall has some competition.
I went to the Stonefield tree lighting tonight and was so impressed. There were so many kids and families there, and they even gave out free light-up glasses and necklaces etc. Had Elsa and Anna, Eli Cook, and even Santa. Free and family-oriented. We need more of that!

As travelers head to the airports this holiday season, the U.S. government wants them to rethink their travel checklists, their behavior — and also, their outfits. It's a part of a new campaign by Sean Duffy, the secretary of transportation, that he called “The Golden Age of Travel Starts With You.”

Breaking News: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he personally instructed the CDC to abandon its position that vaccines do not cause autism. The move underscores his determination to challenge scientific orthodoxy — in this case, that vaccines save lives — and bend the health department to his will.

Not how I imagined the robots taking over.
Scientists have created a robot the size of a grain of sand that is controlled by magnets and can deliver drugs to a precise location in the body.
The capsule might also be useful in treating aneurysms and very aggressive brain cancers.

The stats here are horrific. Deaths caused by vehicles striking pedestrians rose 70 percent between 2010 - 2023. Mostly on multi-lane roads that cut through poor neighborhoods and fading commercial strips. High speeds and larger vehicles are also killing people at a higher rate.

So, a grand jury did not actually indict Comey, but Lindsey Halligan moved forward with charging him anyway? Is that right? Is this that stupid?
NEWS: During a hearing in federal court in VA, prosecutors confirmed that the operative indictment in the case against James Comey was never shown to or voted on by the entire grand jury before it was presented in open court.
Defense counsel argued that’s a complete bar to further prosecution
