Home Depot stores, long a hub for day
laborers, now draw immigration agents
out on raids

At a Home Depot parking lot, a man patrols on a bicycle for federal immigration agents, toting a megaphone on his hip so he can blast a warning to day laborers waiting to land a landscaping or construction job. The workers from Mexico, El Salvador and elsewhere carry whistles to also sound the alarm, while activists swap details over two-way radios about whether cars whizzing by could be unmarked vehicles carrying officers preparing for a raid. Their work is cut out for them. Agents have raided the lot outside the 108,000 square-foot Home Depot store in the Van Nuys neighborhood of Los Angeles at least five times this summer,

At long last, the guardians of traditional finance have admitted the obvious: the future of securities lies on-chain. Nasdaq’s application to the SEC to list and trade tokenized U.S. stocks and exchange-traded products is not a gimmick. It is the most significant step Wall Street has taken toward legitimizing the digital infrastructure that crypto builders have been perfecting for over a decade. For years, tokenization was dismissed as a fever dream of crypto maximalists. Now the world’s second-largest exchange wants in.
Nasdaq’s plan is deliberately cautious. Tokenized securities will carry the same CUSIPs, the same voting rights, and the same dividend streams as their paper-era counterparts.
Four hundred and twenty genocide scholars, survivors, and experts signed a statement affirming that Hamas, not Israel, is guilty of the crime of genocide. The experts also criticized their fellow scholars who falsely accused Israel of genocide in Gaza.
Scholars for Truth About Genocide (STAG) condemned the inaccurate accusations of the International Association of Genocide Scholars (IAGS) against Israel. While IAGS asserted Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, STAG explained why this is false. “Genocide is the gravest offense known to humankind; to dilute its legal standards for ideological ends is a form of moral violence,” STAG declared.
Last month marked the collapse of China’s Evergrande, once the world’s most indebted developer with $300 billion in liabilities. The real estate sector remains a debt bubble, fueled by roughly $695 billion in new government-approved loans.
While the property crisis has been widely reported, the broader scale of China’s debt problem is less understood. Official figures show that public and private debt combined already exceed 309% of GDP, yet even this number understates the true scope. When other sources of leverage are factored in, such as margin trading, shadow banking through wealth management products, and off-balance-sheet local government borrowing, China’s total debt burden climbs to at least 400 percent of GDP.
Last week, President Trump posted my Gateway Pundit article on Truth Social, Letitia James Caught Harboring Fugitive! — Jailbird Niece is Hiding Out in Letitia’s “Primary Residence”. Since then, I have obtained the current active Order for Arrest for fugitive Nikia Monique Thompson, daughter of New York Attorney General Letitia James’s niece. According to the North Carolina Department of Adult Correction, Thompson remains a wanted “Absconder” (offender number 0898340), with law enforcement actively searching for her.
A very BRAVE Governor Whitmer-Appointed Judge just dismissed the case against all 15 Michigan Alternate GOP ElectorsIn a major gut-punch to Michigan’s Democrat activist Attorney General Dana Nessel, Governor Whitmer-appointed Judge Kristin Simmins has ignored party allegiance and decided to put an end to the lawfare against 15 innocent Republican electors from the 2020 election, who cast an alternate slate of electoral votes for President Trump in a state where the stunning election results were highly contested by many.
The Israeli air force conducted a precision strike against Hamas leaders who were involved in terror attacks against Israel and are directly responsible for the October 7 attacks,” the IDF and the Shin Bet intelligence service said in a statement.
The IDF added: “Prior to the attack, steps were taken to minimize harm to non-combatants, including the use of precision munitions and additional intelligence information. The IDF and the Shin Bet will continue to act with determination to defeat the Hamas terrorist organization responsible for the October 7 massacre.”

The body camera hung from the top of the IV drip, recording the slightest twitch made by Yang Guoliang as he lay bloody and paralyzed in a hospital bed after a police beating with bricks.
By then, surveillance was nothing new for the Yang family in rural China, snared in an intricate network based on U.S. technology that spies on them and predicts what they’ll do.
Their train tickets, hotel bookings, purchases, text messages and phone calls are forwarded to the government. Their house is ringed with more than a dozen cameras
An Arizona town competing for basic access to clean water has sunk more than 18 feet over the past eight decades — with no signs of stopping — as locals struggle to make headway against area megafarms reportedly sucking the land dry.
Residents of Wenden, an unincorporated community roughly 60 miles east of the Colorado River Reservation, have had to pivot to digging thousands of feet underground just to reach groundwater.
For many towns, this wouldn’t be an issue. But along the Colorado River, communities and companies are locked in battles over its water supply.
On Friday, Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent appeared opposite NBC's Kristen Welker on "Meet the Press," and predictably, she pressed the SecTreas on the August jobs report. As is so often the case, Mr. Bessent just wasn't having it.
The first topic to come up was the recent (mildly disappointing) August jobs report. Look, we're not going to do economic policy off of one number. We believe that good policies are in place that are going to create good high high-paying jobs for the American people. Two, let's look at the efficacy of this number. August is the noisiest month of the year.

Doc Will ‘Finish Off’ Trump; Here’s
Why That’s Absurd 32 replies
It doesn’t matter what is in this documentary or if anyone ever sees it. It will not finish off Trump.
Here is why:
I spent the last year examining the six major “lawfare” cases against President Trump in between his two presidential administrations, and the E. Jean Carroll case was easily the most absurd on its face. Key details: in 2019, advice columnist and former Saturday Night Live writer E. Jean Carroll wrote an account in New York magazine alleging that Donald Trump sexually assaulted her in a Bergdorf Goodman department store dressing room in 1995. Or maybe it was 1996. She can’t exactly remember.

If you by chance believed that congressional committees were helmed by elected officials who did their homework and were trying to do more than get face time on the evening news, you certainly learned this week what a farce these hearings can be. Here’s Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. testifying before the Senate Finance Committee, members of which are richly financed by the pharmaceutical companies that have made mountains of money on vaccines:If you didn’t realize before this that the CDC needs a thorough housekeeping after it mandated with no scientific basis six-feet distances, useless masks,

Conservative activist Charlie Kirk was shot Wednesday during a Q&A session at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah. Video from the event shows Kirk was struck near the neck. While details about his condition remain unclear, reports suggest he’s been hospitalized.
Unfornately, the mainstream media’s reaction to the shooting has been as disgusting as you could have predicted.
Over at CNN, Kristen Holmes dubbed Kirk “a controversial figure at times,” adding: “He goes into these various college campuses, uh, pushes conservative issues, gets into back and f—heated back and forth often with these students on these college campuses. But of course, uh, none of that is violent.”
Shots have been fired at a Charlie Kirk event at Utah Valley University in Orem.
Footage from the scene showed event goers screaming as shots rang out on Wednesday.
The conservative firebrand, 31, was reportedly shot in the neck area, according to bystander accounts.
People at the event took to social media to share details of the moment someone opened fire at the conservative's event as he conducted a Q & A session with students.
Kirk published a post on X just minutes before reports of the shooting emerged.
'WE. ARE. SO. BACK,' Kirk wrote at 2.23pm EST.
The House of Representatives burst into chaos as Speaker Mike Johnson attempted to lead a prayer for Charlie Kirk after he was assassinated in Utah on Wednesday. Father-of-two Kirk, 31, the founder of Turning Point USA, a conservative youth organization that regularly holds events on college campuses nationwide, was shot in the neck at an event at Utah Valley University in Orem and died about two and half hours later. His assassination not only devastated many members of Congress who knew the activist personally, but unleashed sadness, confusion and anger among lawmakers in the Capitol on both sides of the political spectrum.
WASHINGTON – Read the opinions for yourself. That’s the message Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor had Sept. 10 for viewers of the “Late Show with Stephen Colbert” the day after her blistering response to her conservative colleagues’ latest ruling siding with the Trump administration. The majority said the administration can for now resume the indiscriminate immigration-related stops in southern California that sparked protests and charges of racial profiling. In her dissent for the court’s three liberals, Sotomayor said the majority’s decision “is yet another grave misuse of our emergency docket.” “We should not have to live in a country where

“In retrospect,” Kamala Harris writes of letting Joe and Jill Biden decide on their own whether the then-president should have tried to run for re-election, “I think it was recklessness.” (Snip) “‘It’s Joe and Jill’s decision.’ We all said that, like a mantra, as if we’d all been hypnotized,” Harris writes in the first excerpt of “107 Days” published Wednesday morning by The Atlantic. “The stakes were simply too high. This wasn’t a choice that should have been left to an individual’s ego, an individual’s ambition. It should have been more than a personal decision.” Part of the problem, Harris
WARNING - President Trump's latest crackdown on prescription drug advertisements may cause Big Pharma executives to experience insomnia, tension headaches, a feeling of loss of control, and an upset stomach.
Trump signed an executive memorandum on Tuesday, directing the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to enhance transparency in direct-to-consumer prescription drug advertising. It calls for mandating more detailed disclosures of side effects.
This initiative, spearheaded by HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., will address violations in drug ads without imposing an outright ban on those ads.
Charlie Kirk was shot and killed by an assassin while on stage during a stop at Utah Valley University kicking off his American Comeback Tour Wednesday, just as he answered a question from an audience member about mass shootings committed by transgender people.
The shooter remains on the loose, sources told The Post, despite conflicting reports that an arrest was made. Video was circulating on social media showing an older man being hauled away by police.
Asked if Kirk was in the hospital, President Trump told The Post somberly, “He’s not doing well…yes, it looks very bad,” adding that he was feeling “not good” about the shooting.
Charlie Kirk, the powerful rightwing activist, Trump ally and executive director of Turning Point USA (TPUSA), was shot on Wednesday while hosting an event in Utah and is in critical condition at a hospital. In video posts circulating on social media, Kirk can be seen getting struck while speaking and sitting beneath a tent in the Utah Valley University courtyard. Kirk was there as part of The American Comeback Tour, which is hosted by the TPUSA chapter at Utah Valley. There is also video footage of students on campus running away from the sound of gunshots.
Charlie Kirk has died at age 31 after being shot during a campus event at Utah Valley University on Wednesday, Sept. 10, according to President Donald Trump. "The Great, and even Legendary, Charlie Kirk, is dead," the president shared on Truth Social on Wednesday afternoon. "No one understood or had the Heart of the Youth in the United States of America better than Charlie. He was loved and admired by ALL, especially me, and now, he is no longer with us." Kirk was manning his signature "Prove Me Wrong" table on the first stop of his American Comeback Tour in Orem, Utah, when shots were fired.
The U.S Attorney for the Western District of North Carolina, Russ Ferguson, and James C.

The Postmark is Not What You Think
15 replies
For the United States Supreme Court, State courts, clerk’s offices, businesses and people all over the Country, a “postmark” was the date stamped on a piece of first-class mail by the U.S. Postal Service indicating the day the piece of mail was received by the Postal Service. That meaning of a “postmark” is soon to be no more. The USPS has a “new” meaning for a postmark and wants to make the new meaning official through a proposed regulation. The change carries real implications for taxpayers, voter registration by mail, voting by mail, as well as the legal profession.
