It’s happening. Right now. Right before our eyes. And not a single protester is in the streets. Few people are even talking about it. But hey, at least we didn’t miss the World Cup!

Buried in the 2027 NDAA defense bill — the one that’s supposed to fund American troops, American ships, American readiness — is a provision that has nothing to do with defending America. It’s called the “United States-Israel Defense Technology Cooperation Initiative.”

Strip away the bureaucratic branding and here’s what it actually does: it creates a permanent executive agent inside the Pentagon whose entire job is fusing US and Israeli military systems together — joint weapons research, joint production, shared supply chains, and something called “data fusion,” which means combining sensor feeds and intelligence into a single targeting picture. Shared between two countries’ militaries, as a matter of standing law, not a case-by-case alliance decision.

Congress is handing Israel more military integration than we give NATO — an actual treaty alliance of 32 countries — through a single line item in an annual budget bill.

And here’s the part that should make every American furious regardless of where you stand on Israel: they won’t let it come to a vote. No debate. That is not how we’re supposed to make permanent decisions about our own military’s independence.

Ask yourself what “integration” means once it’s built into law instead of decided fresh each time. It means American targeting data flows through a foreign intelligence apparatus as a matter of course. It means Israeli companies embedded inside the acquisition pipeline that’s supposed to answer to American taxpayers and American oversight. It means infrastructure that’s much harder to unwind than any treaty.

Whatever you believe about Israel as a country or Netanyahu as a leader, that’s a separate question from whether the American public should get a say in something with implications this large.

Supporters frame this as routine, mutually beneficial tech-sharing similar to what the US already does with other close allies, not a “merger.” Don’t believe it.

Once Section 219 is signed into law, the question of whether America’s defense industrial base answers only to Americans stops being a live political question and becomes a settled fact, quietly written into the architecture of the Pentagon itself.

 

 

They called her “the most beautiful woman to ever die.” On May 1st, 1947, Evelyn McHale stepped off the Empire State Building and landed on a parked limousine, without a single drop of blood or a broken bone in sight.

Her legs were delicately crossed. Her gloved hands clutched her pearls. Her expression? Peaceful. Serene. Almost like she was asleep. A young photography student just happened to be nearby. He snapped a photo before police arrived, and captured what would become one of the most haunting images of the 20th century.

Time Magazine published it. Andy Warhol reimagined it. And decades later, people are still captivated by the chilling perfection of that moment. No horror. No chaos. Just a quiet, impossible stillness… frozen in time. They never saw it coming. But the world would never forget it.

 

BREAKING: Mitch McConnell’s hometown newspaper just published a BRUTAL “pre-obituary” absolutely trashing the “detestable” Senator’s political legacy!

He deserves every word of this…

Mitch McConnell hasn’t been seen in public for over a month after suffering a serious medical issue and hospitalization.

The aging Senator is not getting any younger either, so Louisville Courier Journal columnist Joseph Gerth decided to publish an HONEST obituary while the Senator was still breathing in order to avoid the inevitable caterwauling from the right-wing about disrespecting the dead.

“With McConnell allegedly on the mend, I figured I’d go ahead and tell you what I think about McConnell now — when no one can complain, ‘How dare you write that about a dead guy?’” jokes Gerth.

“Let me be straight up now, newspaper staff-written obituaries are not intended to eulogize or lionize the dead. They are intended to tell the truth about the recently departed — or the not yet departed, in this case.”

“McConnell is every bit the detestable figure that Nixon was. But unlike Nixon, McConnell never paid for his sins that have damaged our nation’s trust in government, destroyed the country’s ability to have meaningful dialogue and cemented our nation’s politics as an arena in which winning is the only thing that matters.”

“The fall of Nixon was a triumph for our country. It’s hard to imagine McConnell ever having the guts or the desire to protect the nation like Goldwater, Scott and Rhodes did that day in 1974 when they went to the White House and told Nixon it was over.”

“What he’ll be remembered for is two things that have done lasting damage to the country and its politics.”

“First is his cynical and hypocritical manipulation of the U.S. Supreme Court confirmation process that over a four-year period shifted the court from a center-right body to a far-right body that overturned 60 years of case law on civil rights and nearly a century of law that empowered Congress to check a president’s power.”

“The man who once boasted that he split with his party in 1964 and voted for Lyndon Johnson because of Goldwater’s opposition to civil rights was the key player in dismantling those rights he stood for as a young man.”

“It seems somehow fitting for the ultimate shape-shifter, who wrote about accompanying Sen. John Sherman Cooper to see Johnson sign the Voting Rights Act into law, that the court he created was the court that struck down the last remaining significant provision.”

“As the court he built chipped away at the Voting Rights Act, McConnell cheered.”

“And it’s not just that he built this court — it’s the hypocritical way he did it.”

“McConnell blocked Barack Obama’s appointment of Merrick Garland to replace Antonin Scalia on the court in 2016, saying the American people should decide at the polls who got to make an appointment in the last year of an administration.”

“And then after Ruth Bader Ginsburg died in 2020, McConnell forced through the confirmation of Amy Coney Barrett just eight days before Trump lost his reelection.”

“McConnell’s shenanigans turned what had been a 5-4 conservative majority — with one member being a reliable swing vote — into a solid 6-3 radical conservative court.”

“In the process, McConnell destroyed the court’s credibility with the American people.”

“But his biggest failing may be his embrace of a president who he believes is stupid and who he believes led an attempt to overthrow the United States’ government on Jan. 6, 2021.

All to protect and increase his own political power.”

“Despite all this, when Trump ran for president in 2024, McConnell continued to support him.

Even when Trump said racist things about McConnell’s wife, former Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao, McConnell continued to bend his knee.”

“And that is the legacy of Mitch McConnell. He ends his career adopting the anti-civil rights positions Barry Goldwater supported, handed to him by a despised and distrusted Supreme Court that he created, but didn’t have an iota of the bravery Goldwater summoned to stand against a criminal and corrupt president.”

“Whew! I’m glad I got that off my chest while he’s still alive.”

All of this absolutely needed to be said, especially in McConnell’s hometown newspaper. His decisions have brought untold harm to the people of the United States and especially to the people of Kentucky. We have a long, brutal fight ahead of us to restore legitimacy to the Supreme Court and break the hold of right-wing extremism on this country.

McConnell will be forever remembered as one of the worst Americans to ever live; a man who dedicated his career to undermining our democracy and entrenching the power of the billionaires at the expense of everyone else, with shocking cruelty and a callous disregard for the needs of working families

 

Knowing what companies to boycott is now a national necessity in order to protect your own health and that of your family! Many thanks to our rogue government and especially the billionaires that have taken it by storm and a special applause for the dork, Elon Musk and his DOGE SQ

If the surveillance cameras are deemed unconstitutional data center boom will bust!

A proposed law aims to criminalize the unauthorized installation of private license plate readers, turning unapproved local surveillance into a felony for public officials.

Across 49 states, over 100,000 automated license plate readers run by private vendor Flock Safety scan roughly 20 billion plates a month, often deployed without public or legislative consent.

In most cities, these highly invasive surveillance systems are installed quietly through administrative agreements or free trials signed off by police chiefs and city managers, bypassing elected officials entirely. The real-world consequences of this unchecked tracking are growing: federal and out-of-state agencies have run millions of unauthorized searches on local databases, scanning the movements of citizens who are suspected of no crimes.

While over 50 cities have successfully canceled their contracts, hundreds of others continue to join the network daily.

To address this massive gap in public oversight, a newly proposed model law—the Automated License Plate Surveillance Consent and Accountability Act—aims to criminalize unauthorized camera installations.

Unlike existing state regulations that only manage data after it is collected, this groundbreaking model legislation targets the initial deployment decision itself. It requires a formal public ordinance, a recorded council vote, and prior public hearings before any cameras can be deployed. Under this proposal, officials who bypass the public process would face up to five years in prison, while non-compliant vendors could be sued by affected drivers for $1,000 to $5,000 per unauthorized scan. By turning unauthorized local surveillance into a felony, this framework empowers residents to reclaim their constitutional right to privacy.
