Joe Biden’s 33,000 secret migrant flights to New York passes buck to city taxpayers: Some 37,000 of New York’s estimated 150,000 migrants, or 25%, were bused from Texas. But there’s another number, comparable to that, that Adams should blame on another politician: Joe Biden.

Housing program for illegal immigrants could affect market: Our country is facing a housing shortage. The cost of renting or purchasing a home is taxing the budgets of middle-class Americans in ways not seen in decades. Press reports point to high mortgage interest rates, supply bottlenecks, labor and materials price inflation and zoning restrictions as proximate causes. But the housing supply is only half the story. Largely missing from the affordability discussion is the impact of immigration policies on housing demand.

Biden’s budget is anti-consumer; here’s why: His proposal would do nothing to address the country’s national debt crisis. Biden plans to increase spending by $1.1 trillion, a proportion would be for non-military, discretionary items like expanding the federal child tax credits, tuition reduction, clean energy infrastructure, and biomedical and environmental research. When first proposed, raising the corporate tax rate was estimated to cut America’s Gross Domestic Product by $720 billion over 10 years. It would also reduce workers’ wages and full-time employment opportunities.

“I owe money for working?” Woman highlights how the US tax system “sounds like a acam”: “Why cant they tell us exactly what our taxes are being used for? like an itemized list, pothole, dronestrike etc.” Tons of politicians rake in major net worths after taking office, and they’re larger than the public salaries they receive from taxpayers. It’s the aforementioned dollar-usurping initiatives implemented by the government and others that have got people thinking that the tax system is largely a scam, something that a TikToker named Kat (@kat71766) called out in a viral clip.

21 States Where Squatters Can Legally Take Your Property: Squatters can be a nasty surprise for property owners. Imagine leaving your home for a long trip only to find someone else living there legally when you return. It may sound far-fetched, but it’s a real risk in some states due to “squatters’ rights” laws. These allow people staying on property they don’t own to eventually become the rightful owners after meeting certain conditions over several years. Tales of owners losing homes and land to crafty squatters highlight why this issue matters.

Carbon dioxide (CO2) has risen by 50 percent in the past 200 years, much of it since the 1970s, raising the Earth’s temperature by 2 degrees Fahrenheit.

Border crisis worsens as Mexico dries out south Texas farmers: The border crisis continues to worsen as the Mexican government dries out south Texas farmers.

Cops Running DNA-Manufactured Faces Through Face Recognition Is a Tornado of Bad Ideas: Simply put: police are using DNA to create a hypothetical and not at all accurate face, then using that face as a clue on which to base investigations into crimes.

‘You’re breaking my arm!’ Police illegally drag 84-year-old widow Dr. Ena Farley from her home By Free Ena Farley (Video and summary) | 1 March 2024 | On February 5, 2023, police with no warrant and no court order and no judicial authority kidnapped with force 84-year-old Dr. Ena Farley. She was not mentally incompetent and had not been declared so. She was the sole owner of her house. Police claimed she had to take blood-pressure pills, pills that were in the house. Despite the clear illegality of what police did, Monroe County District Attorney Sandra Doorley has not charged anyone with a crime.

Cognitive warfare and the use of force: Cognitive warfare takes well-known and novel approaches within information, cyber, and psychological warfare to a new level by not only attempting to alter the way people think, but also how they react to information. Furthermore, methods of cognitive warfare blur the lines between civilian and military targets, and arguably shifts the application of force from physical to virtual domains.
