Just curious, “industrial-grade bomb-making material,” is that a thing?

It’d be interesting how much the average person is paying in federal taxes to build and operate these things. And, how many years are they expected to operate?

Imagine if the USPS was ordered to not deliver ballots to voters. Here in Colorado where most people mail in or drop off their ballots, there probably aren’t enough voting machines left if everyone had to do early voting in person. Even picking up a preprinted blank ballot would cause a mess.

UT Policy Asks Faculty to Avoid “Controversial” Topics The system board did not specify what topics are considered controversial or elaborate on how the policy will be enforced. The language echoes similar restrictions at the Texas A&M and Texas Tech syst...

And at the UT system:

No, there’s a legal distinction that freed him. He was someone previously convicted of violent crimes was only charged with a narcotics crime. He was neither an international visitor with an expired visa nor a narcoterrorist. No parking tickets that we know of, either.

Not dealing with Europe is a lot bigger than dealing with it.

The more frightening thing is that the other AI companies with DOD contracts must not have included dual-use restrictions.

I tried playing chess my way, my rules, and everyone got mad at me. The idiots.

I met someone who likes salt on their French fries but they won't add it to their ice cream.

Interesting how quickly Lincoln evolves from slavery is awful, but the best we can do is contain it, to we must destroy the union if we can’t eliminate it.

Imagine that you received a card like this from anyone at all.

Frankfurt was the first university the Nazis tackled, precisely because it was the most self-confidently liberal of major German universities, with a faculty that prided itself on its allegiance to scholarship, freedom of conscience, and democracy. - Peter F. Drucker, Adventures of a Bystander

It isn’t flag-code compliant to put the state bird of 7 states over the American flag. I think. Cute photo!

There is no uniform survey or auditing method used for the ICE detention centers such as used by The International Committee of the Red Cross or UNHCR Ad hoc Congressional member visits are appreciated, but if you are not using reliable survey methods, the visits will appear to be partisan.

This video and her Congressional testimony make me so sad. She is an amazing woman.

I hope Mr. Columbus enjoys his visit to the land of the United States as he never visited us when he was alive (thank goodness.)

Send the kids to ICE school instead of high school.

Just curious how $1-9 billion turned into $14billion. Oh, and Amy Bock isn’t Somali. Aside from that, how racist!

Watched it from end to end. You're an amazing person.

I wonder what the government will settle for, rather than having the IRS lawyers launching a vigorous defense against the President.

There are probably many (at least two) people in Louisiana who are excited about this new job opportunity for their governor, hoping it grows into a full-time visiting diplomat-in-residence.

Does he mean Democrats or Greenlanders or both?

Possible that the US Treasury will approve a $1/2 billion line of credit to the separatist group?

Trump Team’s Secret Meetings With Group Plotting to Break Up Canada Exposed Trump officials have met with activists from the Alberta Prosperity Project, a separatist group that wants independence for its province.

Sen Collins is pummeled by both parties. She is underwater in Maine. Fund-raising must be a real drag. Surely, she knows of better things for her to be doing with her time. I understand that helping individual constituents out consumes a large percentage of a senator's time. Maybe that's the draw.

Why doesn't Todd Lyons', the acting director of ICE, name pop up more? Completely sidelined? It is his department that I'd think would be coordinating everything. Apparently, not.

And where is Todd Lyons, ICE’s acting director? Wouldn’t blame him for keeping a low profile if he’s being sidelined. If so, why doesn’t he just quit for something more enjoyable and lucrative in the private sphere?

Interesting that Scott, the Commissioner of Customs & Border Protection, to whom CBP reports, sent an email to CBP leadership pointing out that they report to him, only to have it rescinded by DHS legal counsel.

Also, Lewandowski, as a special appointee, isn’t his service limited to 180 days?

Throwing CBP under the bus makes him one step closer to commanding in addition to advising.

Selling out fast? They’re not expecting it to be shown in theaters for very long?
