FROM CEDAR BEGLEY (CEDAR SANDERSON):  Wonderland: Follow the White Rabbit to Murder.

A white rabbit. A discarded gun. A detective who won’t stop digging.

When Detective Shelby Carroll follows a mysterious white rabbit to a suburban hit-and-run, she uncovers more than a simple crime. A mummified body in a red velvet room. Cryptic messages about a “Red Queen.” Neighborhood cameras watching every move. As cold cases collide with fresh murders, Shelby races through a twisted Wonderland of extortion, surveillance, and organized crime. Someone wants her silenced permanently. In this gripping police procedural, one detective must dethrone a ruthless crime boss before she becomes the next victim.

Perfect for fans of gritty female detectives, hard-boiled mysteries, and Alice in Wonderland thrillers.

SUFFERING FOR YOUR ART DOESN’T MEAN THAT:  Artists in Garrets.

FOR THE TIMES, THEY ARE ACHANGING:  The wake up call.

AS WITH ANNULLING MARRIAGES THE IDEA OF REVOKING CITIZENSHIP MAKES ME VERY UNEASY:  Your recent proclamation that “Somali Americans are here to stay” is a mendacious assertion, a fabrication woven from the threads of delusion and despair. It is a lie, plain and simple, and one that will not withstand the relentless march of truth and justice.

But as with annulling marriages, it all hinges on a vow taken, and whether or not people took it in good faith. We know Ilhan (“bro fo) Omar didn’t. Nor did many of her compatriots. And people who become citizens by fraud and never intend to assimilate didn’t do what they promised to. (Forsaking all other loyalties and allegiances.) No, I don’t actually care if our benighted government thinks we can have dual citizenship. That’s not in the oath. It’s like your husband approving of adultery. It’s still adultery. And if you intended to continue sleeping around, you didn’t swear the oath in good faith. Much less when like Ilhan you say your real citizenship is where you came from!

FEDERAL LAW, HOW DOES IT WORK?

Related: Byron York on immigration law: Federal government has enforcement authority.

Washington Examiner chief political correspondent Byron York said that, despite what Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass think, state and local governments do not have the authority to enforce immigration laws — only the federal government does.

Bass defended her resistance to the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement on CNN’s The Situation Room, where she responded to the network’s new poll finding that 54% of people approve of the administration’s program to deport illegal immigrants. However, Bass said she does not believe this poll is accurate and that federal agents were “overstepping,” taking away power from the state.

In response, York clarified that the federal government has the sole authority to enforce immigration law.

York recalled the Obama administration, when Arizona officials told former President Barack Obama, “You are not enforcing immigration laws, so we’ll do it.” Obama said no, the issue went to court, and the president won.

“The ruling is the federal government has the sole authority to do this,” York said Tuesday on Fox News’s America’s Newsroom. “So when Karen Bass says, ‘It is like the federal government is coming in and taking our state and local authority,’ no, they don’t have any state and local authority.”

Beyond the Supreme Court, what is this about “calling 911?” I thought that such calls were rendered déclassé and infra dig in uber-woke Minnesota during 2020’s Summer of Love:

UPDATE (FROM GLENN): Sounds like Brian O’Hara just gave rise to a criminal conspiracy case against the police department and him.
