"Are we at last brought to such an humiliating and debasing degradation that we cannot be trusted with arms for our own defense? Where is the difference between having our arms under our own possesion and under our own direction, and having them under the management of Congress? If our defense be the real object of having those arms, in whose hands can they be trusted with more propriety, or equal safety to us, as in our own hands?" -- Patrick Henry
In a significant move to curb illegal immigration, Texas Governor Greg Abbott (R) announced on Sunday that he would sign a bill into law criminalizing unauthorized entry into the state.
The legislation, known as Senate Bill 4, empowers police officers across all agencies to arrest migrants entering the state illegally. This announcement comes amidst the escalating crisis at the U.S. southern border, which has seen an unprecedented influx of illegal immigrants, largely attributed to President Biden's open border policies.

As I’ve been saying for some time, the rampant corruption of America’s rigged elections is even more comically obvious in 2023 — than it was in 2021 and 2020.
Just look at last week’s news from Pennsylvania, where a county official has resigned over the “failures” of the elections he supervised!
In Scranton, Pennsylvania, often celebrated as the hometown of President Biden, the sentiments of local residents tell a story that contrasts sharply with the narrative presented by the administration. Interviews conducted on the streets uncovered deep-seated feelings of disillusionment and discontent for the Biden administration.
“He praises here, but I don’t, I don’t think he actually, like grew up here,” one Scranton resident said.
It’s not just Republicans expressing their disappointment; Democrats are joining the chorus too. “I’m a registered Democrat, but I’m not happy,” said another person.
“I think he’s the worst president we ever had to be honest with you… this economy sucks,” the last interviewee said.

“Here we go… Episode 1,” Johnson posted on X on Sunday. “The mainstream media is telling you that J6 was an insurrection.”

I was on the ground trying to de-escalate the situation specially asking Pittman for help. My call sign was 405J-John.”

The former general registrar of Prince William County, Virginia, Michele White, was arrested in September 2022 on two felonies and a misdemeanor relating to the 2020 election: election officer neglect duty (24.2-10001), Election officer corrupt conduct (24.2-1001) and False statement on required form (24.2-1016).
In a “surprising twist”, however, both felony counts were dropped, leaving only the misdemeanor count of “neglect of duty by an election officer.”
White House National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan on Monday pointed a finger at Iran when discussing the attacks on commercial ships in the Red Sea at the hands of Houthi rebels.
On Sunday, ballistic missiles fired by the Houthis struck three commercial ships, while the American warship, the USS Carney, downed three drones that were headed in its direction.
Sullivan echoed that it remained unclear whether the Carney was the intended target of the three unmanned aerial vehicles but said the incident 'is truly a source of global concerns and a threat to international peace and stability.'
'We will continue as we move forward to consult very closely with allies and partners to determine and take all appropriate responses,' Sullivan said.
A California lake could be sitting on top of the world's largest 'white gold' mine.
The Salton Sea in southern California has been swarmed by companies large and small looking for cost-effective ways to extract lithium that is dissolved in scalding hot brine water that flows beneath the lake's southern point.
But a new study funded by the Department of Energy (DOE) found the basin has even more lithium - dubbed white gold because of its soft, silvery-white look - than previously estimated.
It found there could be 18 million tons of extractable metal - enough to meet the US's demand for the valuable metal for decades.
California Governor Gavin Newsom has previously described the Salton Sea as the Saudi Arabia of lithium mining.
In the midst of the American Civil War, a tumultuous period that left an indelible mark on the nation, the practice of photographing soldiers and fighters in the studio emerged as a poignant intersection of history and art.
These studio portraits, taken during the pioneering era of photography, serve as lasting evidence of the lives, experiences, and roles of the people who participated in this historic conflict.
The mid-19th century marked a significant moment in the development of photography.
The daguerreotype, introduced in 1839, was the earliest photographic process, but it required subjects to sit still for several minutes, resulting in a single, unique image on a polished metal plate.
As photographic techniques advanced, the ambrotype and tintype processes allowed faster and more economical portraiture.
Soldiers cherished these pictures as symbols of affection for their families and loved ones. Encased in ornate holders, these images provided comfort and connection to their homes during the hardships of war.
In many instances, they decorated themselves with items representative of their trade, held weapons, or displayed cherished souvenirs, revealing unique aspects of their experiences and background.
Preserved in archives, museums, and private collections, these images connect us to the faces and stories of those who lived through one of the most transformative periods in American history.
Hundreds have gathered at a Christian church after the pastor was replaced with an artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot for the service.
The Friday sermon at St. Paul’s Church in Fürth, Germany, was delivered by the AI chatbot ChatGPT.

Claiming to be a steward of God, the AI chatbot told the packed congregation not to fear death, according to the Associated Press.
“Dear friends, it is an honor for me to stand here and preach to you as the first artificial intelligence at this year’s convention of Protestants in Germany,” the AI avatar said.

Newsletter #52 of The Wheatley School Alumni Association, which is operated by Arthur Engoron, has revealed that once again, New York State Supreme Court Justice Arthur F. Engoron may have committed multiple acts of misconduct in violation of The New York State Unified Court System’s Judicial conduct, specifically Section 100.4 while overseeing President Trump’s civil fraud trial.
The Letitia Peekaboo James witch hunt officially commenced in March of 2019. The Communist New York Attorney General opened the sham proceedings by serving multiple subpoenas and discovery requests upon the Trump family, President Trump, and many others. By August 2020, The Attorney General convinced Judge Engoron to compel the Trump parties to comply with her deposition demands.
By September of 2020, Judge Engoron ordered Eric Trump to sit for a deposition no later than October 7, 2020. Eric Trump complied with Engoron’s order and was deposed on October 5, 2020.
Justice Engoron was preparing and compiling information for the latest issue of his newsletter between the dates of October 2, 2020 through November 8, 2020. During this timeframe, Justice Engoron was also actively participating in the Trump witch hunt, while simultaneously communicating with an extremely biased, and anti-Trump federal prosecutor who is also linked to a witness in the Trump case.
