YOU’D BE AMAZED AT HOW SMOOTHLY THINGS GO IN STATES THAT AREN’T BASICALLY IN OPEN REBELLION AGAINST LEGAL FEDERAL AUTHORITY:
This is an extremely important point: you're only seeing chaotic ICE raids in blue sanctuary cities where local officials are fighting against federal law enforcement.
The chaos is created by "leaders" who would rather promote rioting in their streets than follow the law. https://t.co/GVUg0er87K

AN IMPORTANT DISTINCTION: Hey Anti-ICE Morons: ‘Texas Is Not Minnesota.’
WELL, THIS IS THE 21ST CENTURY, YOU KNOW: AI helps fuel new era of medical self-testing.
REALLY, LET BILL SHIPLEY TELL YOU:
Let me tell you the real reason why the four prosecutors in Civil Rights Criminal Section resigned.
It has to do with the death of Breonna Taylor.
Louisville PD Officer Brett Hankison was retried after a jury in his first federal trial ended 11-1 for acquittal. These four…

Read the whole thing, and don’t miss this cliffhanger at the end: “I have an article I’m working on re Hankison’s case that mostly focuses on the outrageous conduct by the Judge — a Trump appointee, but more important than that, a McConnell acolyte.”
CHANGE: Supreme Court takes case that could strip FCC of authority to issue fines. After SEC v. Jarkesy this should be easy.
Contrary to agencies’ positions over decades, “civil money penalties” or “monetary penalties” are just fines, and fines need a jury.

Maybe the NYT could do a followup report, since Greenland is back in the news lately?
Nah.
THE NEW SPACE RACE: Fueling research in nuclear thermal propulsion. “Nuclear propulsion, which is only used in space, not to get to space, further falls into one of two categories: nuclear electric propulsion uses nuclear energy to generate electricity and accelerate the propellant. Nuclear thermal propulsion, which is what Hampson is researching, heats a propellant using nuclear power. A significant advantage of NTP is that it can deliver double the efficiency (or more) of the chemical equivalent for the same thrust. A disadvantage: cost and regulatory hurdles.”
Costs can be driven down. As for the other thing, as the wise man once said, “Get the hell out of my way!”
TO BE FAIR, THE WESTERN LEFT ROUTINELY LIES IN SERVICE TO THE WEST’S ENEMIES:
One of the most bizarre things about Hamas is that it states explicitly that it's an Islamist movement aiming to replace Israel with an Islamist state, and the Western left insists that it's just a "resistance" movement dedicated to the Palestinian cause fighting "occupation." pic.twitter.com/il5FJxhcsk

FLASHBACK:
Since Democrats are once again engaged in Kristallnacht-style violence because the electorate rejected their policies, it's time once again for my periodic reminder that all Democrats are fascists.
I love the fact that whenever I point this out, some Democrat invariably…

100% TRUE:
When you see lunatics screaming at ICE or just acting insane about a far left cause, I want you to remember that they’re signing up to be election workers on Election Day. Does anyone really think they won’t cheat? If so, you’re an idiot. We must prioritize election integrity.

“Idaho AG Hurst didn’t even seem to understand what she asked,” and neither do I, even after reading her question three times.
DISABILITY “ACCOMMODATION NATION” IN THE UNC SYSTEM. And it’s the same just about everywhere else. The perverse incentives to get diagnoses are just too strong. After all, your kid probably has struggles too. Are you letting him or her down by not going the extra mile?
It says an online survey found 31 per cent of Albertans support the province becoming independent. This is up nine points from data collected by the agency in June 2023.
Support for Alberta independence rose across the province — an increase of five per cent in the Calgary Metropolitan Area to 31 per cent and 34 per cent support it in Edmonton Metropolitan Area, up five per cent.
Thirty-four per cent of Albertans living outside of the metro areas support the cause, up 11 per cent, Research Co. says.
Independence is most likely to be supported by those who voted for the United Conservative Party in the last election.
On the opposing side, Research Co. says 62 per cent are opposed to separation.
The Stay Free Alberta campaign needs nearly 178,000 signatures by May 2 to be successful.
An opposing citizen initiative petition called Alberta Forever Canada received more than 400,000 verified signatures according to Elections Alberta – and it has been submitted to the Legislative Assembly.
Albertans could vote on a referendum question potentially later this year.
Independence still looks like a longshot, but it wasn’t long ago that an independence movement anywhere other than Quebec would have been nearly unthinkable.
