CBP Says ‘Limited’ Barriers Going Up Amid Backlash For National Park Construction

/0 Comments/in , /by

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) clarified Thursday that infrastructure being constructed to prevent border crossings at Big Bend National Park will be “limited.”

“Big Bend belongs to the American people, and our job is to keep it safe. So, let’s be clear about what is — and is not — happening there,” a CBP statement reads.

The agency will not be building a 30-foot wall or stadium lighting through the local state and national park, according to the statement. They plan on adding one new access road, improving existing roads, installing detection technology and placing barriers for vehicles in some strategic locations.

Republican Texas Sen. John Cornyn sent a letter to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) on Aug. 7, highlighting the concerns of Texans that the department had plans to construct a border wall through the parks.

Protesters gathered at Santa Elena Canyon earlier in August, chanting, “No road. No wall. No wire. No way,” in the belief that DHS would be “bulldozing” Big Bend National Park for border construction.

Could AI Hallucinations Be The Downfall Of The Pentagon?

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Pentagon is moving to revolutionize its wargaming capabilities with artificial intelligence, opening vulnerabilities to what is being dubbed “AI hallucinations.”

Code Metal, a Boston-based AI firm, received an $80 million contract to implement AI into WarMatrix, the Department of War’s wargaming program, Fortune reported on Friday. Experts warned the Daily Caller News Foundation that implementing AI into military technologies such as wargaming could make the U.S. military a victim of “AI hallucinations,” or falsely generated information.

“Hallucinations are associated with large language models [such as ChatGPT] and refer to outputs that seem plausible, or coherent, but are factually incorrect, inconsistent or outright non-sensical,” professor of political theory at Queen Mary University London Elke Schwarz told the DCNF. “Hallucinations are inevitable, they can perhaps be minimised but never be eradicated.”

As AI hallucinations are “inevitable,” the use of this technology in military applications could have serious consequences. Some analysts have speculated that AI could have been involved in the bombing of an Iranian girls’ school at the onset of the Iran War, which killed 168 children, mostly girls, according to Iranian officials cited by Reuters.

The strike was still under investigation as of March 11, but the U.S. does not deliberately target civilians, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth told CBS News’ “60 Minutes” in an interview that aired March 8. (Read more from “Could AI Hallucinations Be The Downfall Of The Pentagon?” HERE)

Hugh Hefner Tipped FBI about Epstein after Playboy Playmate ‘Raped’

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Playboy founder Hugh Hefner repeatedly called the FBI to report Jeffrey Epstein for sexual abuse in 2005, after a Playboy Playmate told him she was raped and trafficked by the disgraced financier, according to new details in a lawsuit.

Audra Lynn Christiansen — Miss October 2003 — turned to Hef for help when she was 23 and living at his Beverly Hills mansion, prompting the late magazine publisher to call the agency “multiple times” for assistance, according to the suit, filed by 32 Epstein victims against the United States.

In addition to the rape allegations, Christiansen said she confided in Hefner that she also was trafficked to one of his rich friends — Macau casino billionaire Stanley Ho, China’s “Godfather of gambling” who died in 2020, according to the filing.

She asked Hefner to call on her behalf in 2005, because she felt he had law enforcement connections and the “clout” to her allegations were taken seriously.

“Mr. Hefner called the FBI multiple times on behalf of Ms. Christiansen to report Jeffrey Epstein,” the complaint states. (Read more from “Hugh Hefner Tipped FBI about Epstein after Playboy Playmate ‘Raped’” HERE)

Egg Recall Upgraded to FDA’s Highest Risk Level: ‘Serious Adverse Health Consequences or Death’

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The FDA is upgrading an egg recall issued last month to its highest risk level, warning the public that exposure to the eggs could pose serious health risks.

On Wednesday, the FDA classified the recall as a Class I, indicating “a situation in which there is a reasonable probability that the use of or exposure to a violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death.”

Midwest Poultry Services first issued the recall of 1.6 million brown and white eggs in late July.

According to Midwest Poultry’s recall announcement, the eggs were produced and distributed from farms in Texas between June 6, 2026 and July 3, 2026, and have sell-by or best-by dates between July 20, 2026 and August 17, 2026.

The eggs were shipped to foodservice and retail customers in Texas, Oklahoma and Louisiana, ere available to consumers at Kroger stores in Texas and Louisiana, Brookshire Grocery stores in Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, and Mississippi.

The recalled eggs can be identified by codes P-1950 or 0840962 with a Julian date between 157 and 184 printed on the side of the cartons. For a full list of examples, check the FDA recall site or call 574-405-9531. (Read more from “Egg Recall Upgraded to FDA’s Highest Risk Level: ‘Serious Adverse Health Consequences or Death’” HERE)

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Five people were killed in a Michigan shooting spree on Friday, sparking a massive manhunt that ended when the suspected gunman was found dead.

The bloodshed was first discovered at a home in Missaukee County, after troopers responded to a property on a report that someone had been shot around 11:40 a.m., Michigan State Police said in a news release.

Police found three dead people and one in critical condition at the home.

State police said the suspect, 39-year-old Chad Hickman, had fled the property prior to the troopers arriving on scene.

Two more slain victims were later found — one in the woods near Whitlock Lake and another in a separate home, according to state police.

The carnage prompted a frantic search for Hickman, who police said was considered armed and dangerous. (Read more from “Five People Killed after Michigan Maniac goes on Bloody Shooting Spree” HERE)

Clueless WNBA Attacks ‘Bad-Faith’ Dans Who don’t Want Biological Men Ruining Women’s Sports

/4 Comments/in , /by

The WNBA convened a task force to figure out what a woman is, emerged without an answer, scheduled more meetings to keep figuring it out, then scolded everyone else for the “hate and vitriol” surrounding the debate.

On Wednesday, the WNBA finally offered an update on its progress.

Turns out, the answer is more meetings.

“Today’s meeting covered a wide range of topics, including ongoing discussions on transgender athletes and the continued hate and vitriol directed at players online. We will continue to engage all league stakeholders in the coming weeks and months. We will approach these important conversations thoughtfully and in alignment with the values of our league. There are no immediate eligibility matters affecting the WNBA, and we strongly denounce the bad-faith efforts to use these topics to demean or marginalize others.”

The WNBA took the corporate escape hatch. Dodge the question, scold the critics and kick the can down the road. (Read more from “Clueless WNBA Attacks ‘Bad-Faith’ Dans Who don’t Want Biological Men Ruining Women’s Sports” HERE)

School Enrollments Are Down, But Declining Birth Rates Only Tell Part Of The Story

/0 Comments/in , /by

Experts seem to be missing an important piece of the puzzle when trying to explain the reasons behind public school enrollment rates declining in Maryland and Virginia — while public school enrollment rates fall, homeschooling rates are increasing.

According to WTOP, public school enrollment rates have decreased in both states, and experts are citing the reasons as “declining birth rates, immigration and migration patterns, and housing costs.” While this is certainly the case by and large, another change appears to be affecting enrollment.

Homeschooling rates have increased in both states, likely affecting the rate of enrollment in public schools.

Notably, the University of Virginia (UVA) Weldon Cooper Center for Public Service released an enrollment projection for Virginia public schools in March. The data showed that in 2025 alone, K–12 enrollment dropped 1.2 percent or 14,939 students. Prior to that, enrollment rates had remained relatively stable from 2021 to 2024. The Cooper Center predicted that in 2030, enrollment will have fallen by 3 percent, or by 36,827 students.

Meanwhile, homeschooling rates in Virginia have risen by 8,342 students from the 2022–23 school year to the 2025–26 school year, according to the Homeschool Hub State Data produced by Johns Hopkins Homeschool Hub.

Unearthed Data Sheds Light On Military’s Transgenderism Explosion Under Biden

/0 Comments/in , /by

Transgender care for U.S. service members and minor dependents exploded under the Biden administration, documents obtained exclusively by the Daily Caller News Foundation show.

“Gender dysphoria” patient counts jumped roughly 82% during President Joe Biden’s first year in office, according to internal Defense Health Agency (DHA) records. The documents identify 17,596 unique patients in a DHA gender dysphoria dataset from 2014 to 2022, including 3,807 patients under 18.

The documents were originally obtained by the Center to Advance Security in America (CASA) through Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) litigation and provided to the DCNF.

Air Force Public Affairs referred to the DHA. The DHA could not provide a comment in time for publication.

“I think there could have been something going on where people may have been joining the Air Force or military in general in order to get this care and then exit,” James Fitzpatrick, the director of CASA, told the DCNF. “I trust that concern is being addressed now, given the new tightening of the rules surrounding this in the military, per the executive orders that came out last year, but yeah, I think it’s concerning, and again it just shows their priority and their ideology almost above anything else … was to you know push this type of medical care and this type of ideology onto our soldiers and military service members.”

UPDATE: Airport Installing Foot Washing Stations for Muslim Travelers

/0 Comments/in , , /by

[Editor’s note: see updated article below] By Breitbart. The Dallas Fort Worth International Airport is set to install privately-funded, dedicated Islamic foot washing stations in the facility, according to documents from the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation.

According to the document, the project, which comes at an estimated cost of $300,000, is expected to begin August 31.

Women and men will have separate facilities that will not be shared between the sexes.

“Project consists of adding Ablution stations to existing concourse level restrooms in Terminal D, one Men’s ablution station in existing men’s restroom and one Women’s ablution station in the existing women’s restroom,” the details of the project read, as some say this will help eliminate the use of sinks in that capacity and keep the floors dry.

Reports indicate that this is a privately funded project and the stations will be in Terminal D of the airport. Audacy notes that this terminal “handles many of DFW’s international flights.”

DFW Airport scraps controversial Islamic foot-washing station plan as Texas Gov Abbott takes aim

By Brittany Miller. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott on Friday directed a review of state grants to entities operating two major Texas airports over religious accommodations after Dallas Fort Worth International Airport said it would no longer move forward with a proposal to install Islamic washing stations.

Abbott said the state will review grants to entities operating DFW and George Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston for possible revocation and denial of future funding. He also referred both airports to the U.S. Department of Transportation for investigation.

“Government-owned airports cannot favor one religion over all others,” Abbott wrote on X Friday. “DFW plans to install Islamic wudu washing facilities are illegal. I’ve directed a review of all state grants to both airports for possible revocation, and referred DFW & IAH to USDOT for investigation.

“Texas will not allow illegal religious discrimination at taxpayer-funded facilities.” (Read more about Muslim traveler and foot washing HERE)

Polls Show No One Cares About Climate Change

/0 Comments/in , /by

The latest polling shows that voters have wised up and don’t care about Global Warming or Climate Change, or whatever the grifters call it now.

Far-left CNN took a look at the latest polling and found that Climate Change ranked at number 14 of issues people care about, with just three percent saying so.

When asked if Climate Change is a “very big problem,” only 39 percent said yes, which is one point less than it was ten years and a gajillion fear-mongering media narratives ago.

Decades of relentless climate hysteria have not even convinced a majority of the public that humans are causing the Earth to warm. In 2016, only 45 percent believed that. Today, only 48 percent buy that nonsense.

You see, Normal People are not as dumb as CNN would like them to be. We all see Barry Obama, CNN, and Bill Gates out preaching that Global Warming is real and an imminent threat, and then we see the very same Barry Obama, CNNLOL, and Bill Gates move to the very coasts that they predict will be underwater in our lifetimes.
