A federal case in Atlanta is raising questions about a privacy-focused mobile operating system, with prosecutors arguing that its features were used to erase evidence. The US Department of Justice is attempting to prosecute Atlanta resident Sam Tunick under a federal statute that makes it a crime to destroy property in an effort to prevent it from being seized. The case centers on Tunick's use of GrapheneOS, an open-source operating system that works on Google Pixel phones and lets users enter a passcode to wipe a device clean. Experts said the legal approach is unusual and may be the first time the law has been aimed at an operating system. "It's concerning – and sends the message that [GrapheneOS] is criminal by default," said Christophe Boutry, a cybersecurity and surveillance expert. Boutry and Bill Buddington, senior staff technologist at the Electronic Frontier Foundation, both said they had not seen a similar case.

Trump describes U.S.-Iran talks as “good,” sees chance for agreement Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One, Trump said, according to Reuters: “We are having good talks, and I think there is a good chance that something will happen.

He has been preaching the same shit for more than 30 years. The polls in Israel show 61% do not support Netanyahu. As I have said, he went to school in Philadelphia and hung out with the Kristols. It was Irving Kristol who started the whole Neocon movement. His son, Bill Kristol, even spoke at one of our WECs back in the ’90s. I have had in-depth conversations concerning this movement and its real objectives. My view was not shaped by prejudice or conspiracy theory. It was shaped by direct conversations.

The H-1B visa program was sold to the American people as a narrow pathway for importing rare talent that supposedly could not be found in the United States. We were told these were the “best and brightest,” possessing exceptional skills needed to keep America competitive. That sales pitch has collapsed under the weight of fraud, corporate abuse, and government negligence. Indian investigators seized nearly 100,000 counterfeit degree certificates and forged academic records linked to at least 28 universities. One institution allegedly issued more than 36,000 fraudulent degrees. Authorities are investigating whether some credentials were used to obtain jobs in medicine, nursing, engineering, and technology, including employment supported by H-1B visa applications. America does not need to close itself to exceptional talent. It needs to stop confusing exceptional talent with cheap, controllable labor. The H-1B program was supposed to fill genuine gaps in the American workforce. It has instead become a mechanism that too often allows corporations to avoid investing in Americans while the government provides the replacement worker and calls it innovation. https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/world-news/corruption/the-h-1b-visa-scam-importing-cheap-labor-while-americans-are-laid-off/

First Lady Melania Trump and First Son Barron Trump are the subjects of a new horrifying assassination threat from Iran.  The Tasnim News Agency, which is affiliated with Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, published an AI-generated video on Monday highlighting the locations the First Lady likes to shop at and how would-be assassins could target her.  'Melania's obsession with fashion has become her biggest weakness,' a narrator says in the harrowing video, according to its closed captioning.  'Melania has a special interest in the luxury department stores on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan,' the video continues. It specifically names Bergdorf Goodman and Saks Fifth Avenue as Melania's favorite shopping hot spots.

Eleven million barrels a day gone. Strait of Hormuz traffic in freefall. Houthis taking shots at Red Sea shipping. Inventories scraped to record lows. By every rule of the last half-century this should have oil screaming past $150 and staying there. Instead Brent recently poked above $101 and still sits roughly twenty bucks under its spring wartime highs. WTI did the same. Strategists at JPMorgan are openly puzzled. They expected the pain to fall almost entirely on inventories. What actually happened was the market simply killed demand. That is not a technical footnote. That is the story. https://economiccollapse.substack.com/p/war-chokes-off-a-tenth-of-the-worlds

🇺🇸🇮🇱🇺🇦⚡️ — Vice President JD Vance will attend President Trump's 11:00 a.m. ET meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, but will not attend Trump's 9:30 a.m. ET meeting with Ukrainian President Zelensky due to a scheduling conflict, POLITICO reports. ➡️ Vance is instead scheduled to deliver remarks at Sen.

Gavin Newsom just got the message loud and clear from the people who actually have to live under his rules. Nearly two-thirds of Californians want nothing to do with his 2035 ban on new gas-powered cars. According to the latest Public Policy Institute of California survey, 66 percent of adults and 65 percent of likely voters oppose the governor’s executive order that would outlaw the sale of new gasoline vehicles. Only 34 percent still back it. That is a 17-point jump in opposition since 2021, when the state was split down the middle. Republicans reject it by a staggering 91 percent. Independents sit at 69 percent against. Even Democrats have collapsed into a near-even split. The climate cult is losing its own base.

Earlier this January, we covered how xAI founder Elon Musk felt that this year was the year for the AI “Singularity,” and OpenAI co-founder Sam Altman a year prior said something similar. So, what is the singularity? According to IBM: The technological singularity is a theoretical scenario where technological growth becomes uncontrollable and irreversible, culminating in profound and unpredictable changes to human civilization. In theory, this phenomenon is driven by the emergence of artificial intelligence (AI) that surpasses human cognitive capabilities and can autonomously enhance itself. The term “singularity” in this context draws from mathematical concepts indicating a point where existing models break down and continuity in understanding is lost. This describes an era where machines not only match but substantially exceed human intelligence, starting a cycle of self-perpetuating technological evolution. The theory suggests that such advancements could evolve at a pace so rapid that humans would be unable to foresee, mitigate or halt the process. This rapid evolution could give rise to synthetic intelligences that are not only autonomous but also capable of innovations that are beyond human comprehension or control. The possibility that machines might create even more advanced versions of themselves could shift humanity into a new reality where humans are no longer the most capable entities. The implications of reaching this singularity point could be good for the human race or catastrophic. For now, the concept is relegated to science fiction, but nonetheless, it can be valuable to contemplate what such a future might look like, so that humanity might steer AI development in such a way as to promote its civilizational interests. Well, this past week Altman revealed that he believes we have finally reached that moment: the Singularity has arrived.

❗️Netanyahu, Zelensky seek meeting as shared focus on Iran brings them closer According to The Times of Israel, the offices of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky are working to arrange a bilateral meeting despite years of strained relations. The two have not met since September 2023 and have not spoken by phone since January 2025. The report says the renewed diplomatic effort is driven by their shared focus on Iran, following Ukraine's recent strike on an Iranian vessel in the Caspian Sea. The development comes a day after Iran's Foreign Ministry warned Kiev of "unforeseen consequences" over the attack.
