He sums it up well: (re: unsurprising surge of violent “school kids” in Germany)
“We need effective border controls, the decisive deportation of criminal foreigners, and an end to the ideologically motivated multicultural experiment,” said the former police instructor. The state must “once again be a sanctuary for citizens, not an educational project of left-wing utopians.”

And that story just addresses kids in a school setting, of course, these monsters roaming around destroy civilized society everywhere they go. (These stories are tame by comparison to so many)

With birth rates plummeting for natives in their once civilized societies, the inability to go out freely in society to meet and socialize safely can’t be helping either. All part of the plan.

Behind the Curtain on the Big, Beautiful Bill. The negotiators left it all on the field.

There were four moderate Republican holdouts in the Senate. They got what they wanted, especially Murkowski.
Then the Senate version went back to the House. In the House, there were both moderate and conservative holdouts.
Conservative holdouts such as Tim Burchett were tougher. We don’t know exactly what they were promised (probably something in a future rescission bill).
Anyway, President Trump is a skilled closer. House moderate Dusty Johnson “emerged from the White House meeting and said, ‘Donald Trump is the best closer in the business, and we’re going to get it done.’“
The bill was signed July 4 with a ceremony.

Ninth Circuit Declares California’s Background Checks on Ammo Purchases Unconstitutional

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals gave Second Amendment advocates a huge win on Thursday by upholding a lower court decision that held California’s background check requirement on sales of ammunition (and prohibiting residents from ordering ammunition online or bringing ammunition purchased out-of-state back into California) was unconstitutional.

In a 2-1 decision, the three judge panel concluded that the law is facially unconstitutional, meaning there’s no circumstance where it can be lawfully applied. As such, the panel endorsed the permanent injunction first delivered by U.S. District Court Judge Roger T. Benitez in Rhode v. Bonta early last year. Writing for the majority, Judge Sandra Segal Ikuta declared the background scheme “meaningfully constrains the right to keep operable arms.”

AI scammers are enrolling non-existent students in California community colleges, turning in AI-generated assignments, and running off with the Pell Grant money.

Over 30 percent of applications found likely fraudulent.

The colleges use algorithms to catch the scammers, and sometimes they expel actual human students by mistake.

Two problems with the Capitol food court issue:

1. “It is critical that you retain these workers to avoid any disruption to their livelihoods and to preserve their institutional knowledge and established relationships with Members of Congress and their staff.”

The institutional knowledge of a fast food worker is gained in the first few hours on the job. If you’re not up to speed by the first day or two, you’re definitely not Penske material and you’re the reason the federal minimum wage is still $7.25.

2. “My coworkers and I have struggled over the years to make this the kind of job we can raise our families on,” union steward and long-time Capitol dining employee Rickie Toon said at Thursday’s event.

One does not make a job into a livable wage. The economy determines that. One only betters one’s self to earn a better wage through better jobs.

Morons, all of them. Especially Rickie (Car)Toon.
