Illegal immigrants who were camped out under a bridge in Del Rio, Texas, revolted against customs agents and took control of a federally contracted bus.
The Washington Examiner reported that Haitian migrants in custody hijacked the bus on Monday as it was en route from Del Rio to San Antonio. They then escaped custody.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the Customs and Border Protection agency did not respond to the Examiner‘s requests for comment, though ICE confirmed to Local 23 news that “several individuals attempted to flee the bus and were able to escape for some time.”
Most commonly used phrase by a public employee: “We can’t tell people that!”

Just days after House members returned to Capitol Hill from their August recess, Michigan Democrat Haley Stevens skipped hearings on President Joe Biden’s record-setting budget to take a vacation.
Fresh from a month-long recess, Stevens married software engineer Rob Gulley in a September 3 ceremony. According to the Democrat’s wedding registry, the couple planned to “head up north right after the wedding” and accepted cash contributions to fund “boating, couples massage, [and] dinner” on the honeymoon.
The trip coincided with two House Committee on Education and Labor markup sessions during which members voted on an array of amendments to Biden’s $3.5 trillion spending plan. Stevens, who has served on the committee since she joined Congress in 2019, missed votes on at least a dozen amendments, including one that would prohibit funds in the bill from going to universities that host Chinese government-funded Confucius Institutes.
Stevens did not return a request for comment.
Priorities, man, priorities. If you’re in a safe seat (Dem – Michigan – ’nuff said), and your party has a solid majority in your house, you can take a little time to smell the flowers. It’s not like anybody really depends on you to show up or anything.

Maspeth High School created fake classes, awarded bogus credits, and fixed grades to push students to graduate — “even if the diploma was not worth the paper on which it was printed,” an explosive investigative report charges.
Principal Khurshid Abdul-Mutakabbir demanded that teachers pass students no matter how little they learned, says the 32-page report by the Special Commissioner of Investigation for city schools, Anastasia Coleman.
“I don’t care if a kid shows up at 7:44 and you dismiss at 7:45 — it’s your job to give that kid credit,” the principal is quoted as telling a teacher.

Federal Trade Commission chair Lina Khan says that Big Tech firms, including Apple, had exploited “loopholes” to make hundreds of acquisition deals without informing antitrust regulators.
The FTC has published a report describing 819 incidents of transactions, over 10 years, which were small enough to not require regulatory approval. The transaction range from changes of voting control, to patent acquisition, and hiring.
So these transactions are perfectly legal, and ‘loophole’ merely means that the bureaucrat in question doesn’t like them. Suck it up, buttercup. As long as they obey the law, it’s outside your playground. If you don’t like the law, get it changed.

Washington, D.C., congressional delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton (D.) wrote to the USPS this month to communicate her constituents’ complaints about mail delivery problems. A postal service administrator responded last week, telling Norton that the American Rescue Plan Act, which Democrats passed in March, is to blame for staff shortages that have contributed to the agency’s ineffectiveness.
“The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in increased employee absences and reduced employee availability, which continue to impact our delivery operations,” executive postmaster Sherry Harper wrote. “The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 provides postal employees with up to 600 hours of Emergency Federal Employee Leave in response to the ongoing pandemic. Congress enacted the law with the understandable consequence that employee availability would be affected, particularly for federal agencies.”
Gee, if you give people ‘free’ money, they may decide not to work. Who could have predicted that?

The FBI has fired an agent who played a major role in the prosecution of more than a dozen far-right members who made plans to kidnap Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer over her strict coronavirus mandates, the Daily Mail has reported.
The dismissal of Richard Trask from the FBI comes two months after he was arrested for allegedly beating his wife.
Trask at first became the public face of the investigation into the kidnapping plot, as he testified in court, according to The Epoch Times.
But the FBI later dropped him as a witness after Trask’s social media posts were revealed that called former President Donald Trump a “douchebag” and other expletives.

Paul Mirengoff, an Actual Lawyer, at Power Line.
Whatever one’s views of the Texas law, the DOJ’s suit is baseless. Its filing demonstrates that under Joe Biden and Merrick Garland, the DOJ has become a hyper-partisan, unprincipled, and lawless tool of the left.
The Department of Justice lacks authority to file any lawsuit unless a statute grants litigation authority to the Attorney General. The DOJ’s complaint cites no statute granting such authority.
None exists. Otherwise the DOJ would have cited it.
Merrick Garland may consider the Texas statute unconstitutional. He may be right. But he lacks the free-standing authority to challenge statutes he deems unconstitutional, no matter how much the Democrats’ leftist base clamors for him to do so.
And the court will throw it out on standing grounds. So this is just Virtue Signaling on the part of the Biden mal-administration. What it does demonstrate, however, is what a terrible pick Garland would have made for the Supreme Court, and how right Republicans in the Senate were to ignore his nomination.

There’s an outfit called Next Energy Solar Fund, who are after your money to invest in solar projects.
…
Next Energy don’t directly own the solar farms, it is merely the holding company for a number of shell companies who do own them. This is advantageous to them, as they can simply let any one of the shell companies go bankrupt if it runs into trouble, without the holding company taking much of a hit.
And because most of the money invested belongs to investors in the fund, Next Energy have little to lose anyway. Instead they merely rake off the profits and service charges.

When you have to sue the government to get them to share legally available information, it almost always means they know more than they want you to know. Whatever the origins of Covid, policymakers have behaved from the outset of the pandemic in ways that can only be described as curious. Their frequently irrational behavior, and contradictory pronouncements, have spawned any number of theories as to why they have flailed the way they have.
One thought I have had is that the folks at the CDC have behaved in ways someone would if they were afraid that this virus might not act like a naturally occurring virus. It isn’t as if we haven’t had coronaviruses in the world before. And we generally know the course a viral outbreak takes through a population. Sure, maybe this one has a marginally higher mortality rate for certain segments of the population. But some of the behavior of policymakers has suggested their behavior is born out of a concern, not just for mortality, but for the possibility that the entire pandemic course with this one could somehow be…different.

Public education, today, is far more concerned with raising the grades and test scores of its lowest achieving students than with pushing all students towards a higher standard. Of course, schools would love everyone to learn more and they are eager to highlight any academic achievement that they can use to create the illusion of educational excellence. But in a world of finite resources, the priorities are quite clear. Whenever a school has to choose, they will sacrifice the benefit of the many to focus on the least successful few.
The inevitable result of the ‘no child left behind’ mindset is the inevitable triumph of No Child Gets Ahead.

As a side note to the articles below: Almost everybody I know has now been vaxed, but yesterday I received my first personally-related report on a serious adverse reaction to the experimental mRNA therapy used against COVID-19. An old friend and former employer called me up and told me that her son, who is now in his late fifties, had suffered a stroke a few days after receiving the first dose of the Moderna “vaccine”. It caused some impairment of his ability to speak, and induced partial paralysis on one side of his body. He won’t be getting the second jab.

Kamala Harris has blood on her hands. Not in connection with Afghanistan–I doubt that she has had any influence on events there–but as a result of her support for violent crime in Minnesota. In the wake of the George Floyd riots, Harris contributed to the Minnesota Freedom Fund and encouraged others to do so as well. She did so on the pretext that the Freedom Fund was bailing out “demonstrators” arrested in Minnesota, but of course no one was arrested for demonstrating. Those bailed out were arsonists, aggravated assaulters and other serious criminals.
Moreover, the Minnesota Freedom Fund didn’t restrict itself to bailing out those arrested in the summer of 2020. Rather, its efforts to inflict violent crime on Minnesotans have continued to the present day. Last Sunday, an innocent man was murdered by a criminal who had been charged with domestic assault but was sprung by Kamala Harris’s Minnesota Freedom Fund just days earlier.

When I think about Social Security, I think about MacGyver. You know, the 1980s heartthrob who could defuse a bomb with a paperclip. (The show has even been rebooted) Bear with me. Time and time again, MacGyver would wait until the very last second to stave off disaster. With one second left on the clock, he would wiggle a wire, preventing some giant explosion. You know, sort of like how the U.S. treats the Social Security Trust Fund. The last amendments to the program to ensure its solvency were passed in April 1983, three months before its Trust Fund was to run out.
Well, the clock is ticking again. If nothing is done, the Social Security Trustees estimate that by 2034, the Trust Fund will be depleted. When that happens, the program will continue to function, but benefits will be cut by more than 20 percent. This reduction would obviously be a problem for the whopping one quarter of seniors who receive almost all of their income from the program. But it also has implications for an issue that has been gaining attention in the wake of COVID-19 — the racial wealth gap.

A Bernie Sanders-backing 29-year-old won a coveted position to redraw Michigan’s political districts as part of a self-described “independent” bloc of redistricting commissioners that could redefine the state’s electoral landscape for the next decade.
Medical student Anthony Eid applied to serve on the Michigan Independent Citizens Redistricting Commission as an independent in May 2020, stating that he does not “affiliate with either the Republican or Democratic Party.” A Washington Free Beacon review of his social media presence, however, shows that Eid has long supported members of the Democratic Party’s liberal wing.
Eid now holds a crucial vote on the 13-member commission, which consists of four Democrats, four Republicans, and five independents. In order to enact a proposed map, at least seven members—including two Democrats, two Republicans, and two independents—must vote for it. The boundaries will stay in place until the next census in 2030.
My, what a surprise. Aren’t you surprised? I’m sure surprised.
