FED UP:  Illegal immigration isn’t just some abstraction. It’s directly affected me and my family several times in the last 12 months. And the local authorities don’t want to do anything about it.

For those without an X account.

GOOD:  Georgia Lawmakers Can Subpoena Fani Willis Over Trump Case.

CIVICS EDUCATION, FRENCH STYLE:  Short but intense civic education lesson.

And for those without Twitter/x.

WELL, OBVIOUSLY. BECAUSE THE BILLIONAIRE TAX DODGERS CAN CHANGE THEIR COUNTRY OF RESIDENCE AND EMPLOY EVERY LEGAL TRICK. THE GIG WORKERS NO SO MUCH:  IRS goes after gig workers instead of billionaire tax dodgers.

This is why the idiot left thinking they can weaponize the IRS against the “rich” (not the actual rich, who are their bosses, but never mind) is even dumber than their usual pretensions.

THEY FA-ED THIS IS THE FO-ING PORTION OF THE ENTERTAINMENT.  FAFO ALWAYS WINS:  Russia-linked cable-cutting tanker seized by Finland ‘was loaded with spying equipment’.

DON’T LET VIVEK’S RUNNING HIS MOUTH — WONDER WHO POKED HIM TO DO IT — DECEIVE YOU. THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION IS ALREADY A SUCCESS AND HE HASN’T EVEN BEEN SWORN IN. NATURE IS HEALING:  Mexico Seems To Drop The Hugs And Embrace The Bullets As Cartel Violence Rages On.

MY NOT SO HUMBLE (AH) OPINION:  All We Are Asking IS Give Kids A Chance.

IMPORTANT TO THIS IMPORTANT CONVERSATION:  An ongoing collection of H1B screenshots.

And for those without twitter/x.

GO READ:  Having lived in Silicon Valley for 20+ years and founded and sold an AI company, I’ve seen firsthand how we rely on H-1B to fill grueling, unglamorous coding jobs. These jobs are essential, and we need capable people doing them. But the system needs an overhaul.

And for those who don’t have a twitter/x account.

The World Can’t Be Made Safe….

But it doesn’t mean Athena Hera Sinistra isn’t ready to try. Flying back to Earth Orbit from her asteroid home, leaving behind unresolved questions and turmoil, Athena becomes a new mother in orbit.

As is perhaps fitting, her daughter is born during battle with an unknown foe.

A battle that ends with Kit – Athena’s husband – missing, and Athena’s ship damaged.

So Athena names her daughter Eris, and goes to war.

What follows is a non-stop fight by a very angry mother, who wishes to make the world(s) safe for her newborn daughter, and other children too.

When the adventure is over, it is just the start of another, where children will be rescued, old tyrants brought to justice, and freedom restored.
If it can be.

BUREAUCRATIC MINDSET AT WORK: IF THEY’RE ACCESSIBLE PRANKSTERS WILL USE THEM AND THEN THEY’LL NOT BE OF USE:   Public can’t access fire extinguishers in subway system — and MTA has no plans to change that after horrific murder of woman on F train.

SOMEHOW LEFTIST IDIOTS WILL BLAME THIS ON ISRAEL:   Humanitarian aid stacks up at Gaza border as relief organizations won’t deliver out of fear of Hamas, violent looters.

DANG CRITICS – WHY ARE THEY ALWAYS RIGHT?   Hochul signs NY law that will charge $75B to oil, gas and coal companies for climate change — but critics say customers will pick up tab.

I’M NOT A MAGA NATIONALIST, I’M A LIBERTARIAN NATIONALIST. OTHER THAN THAT, I NORMALLY HAVE AT LEAST ONE QUIBBLE WITH SOMETHING ESR POSTS, BUT THIS ONE I ENDORSE 100%:  Today’s big beef is between tech-success maximizers like  @elonmusk  and MAGA nationalists who think the US job market is being flooded by low-skill immigrants because employers don’t want to pay competitive wages to Americans.

AND IF YOU DON’T HAVE TWITEX:  Here.

FROM SARAH A. HOYT ON SALE FOR 99c:  Odd Magics: Tales for the Lost.

Odd Magics
This is a very strange collection of fairytales, recast for modern life. In it the prize isn’t always to the fairest, the
magic is rarely to the strongest.
But lonely introverts do find love, women who never gave it a thought find themselves at the center of romance.
Doing what’s right will see you to the happily ever after.
And sometimes you have to kiss an accountant to find your prince.
