THE MORNING RANT: Brown University Professor Sets Trap for Students to Reveal they Cheated Using AI
—Buck Throckmorton
When a professor at Brown University decided that mid-term and final exams would be take-home tests following the campus shooting last December, he inadvertently set a trap that revealed the seriousness of AI cheating on exams.
Here is a brief overview of the highlights (written by me, not by AI.)
• Roberto Serrano is an Economics professor at Brown, who teaches a course titled “Welfare Economics and Social Choice Theory.”
• This was the first time that Serrano was going to have the mid-term and final exam be in “take-home, closed-book” format rather than in-class as they had always been.
• The mid-term exam was accessible through an online portal, and students had an 11-hour window to complete it.
• Of the 86 students who took the mid-term, 40 had perfect scores. The average score was 96. By contrast, in prior semesters with in-class exams, the average scores ranged from 65 to 80.
• By running the test through ChatGPT, Serrano found that its AI answers closely mirrored what his students had written.
With this information, Professor Serrano announced to the class that he suspected many students had cheated using AI. He then sprung the trap by announcing:
1) The final exam was now going to be in-person.
2) The mid-term results would be considered void unless the final exam had a similar distribution of extraordinary grades.
In the words of Mr. Serrano “I am not declaring [the midterm] void for now. I am going to give the class a chance to prove me wrong. That is, if the distribution of the final exam is roughly similar to the distribution of the midterm, I will count the midterm. Otherwise, which is of course what I expect to happen, I will declare the midterm void and reweigh the final accordingly.”
Following that announcement, 27 of the 86 students either dropped the class entirely, or didn’t show up for the final exam. That is a whopping 31% who pretty much admitted to cheating on the mid-term.
But it gets even funnier for those who stayed in class:
• The remaining 59 students had an average score on the final exam of just 49%, a huge dropoff from the 96% average on the mid-term.
• Serrano therefore announced that the mid-term would not be counted in their grade. A score of 40 on the final was now required to pass. (This was lower than the 50 that was his previous pass threshold.)
• 19 of the remaining 59 students failed the class.
Below the fold is a chart showing the distribution of the 59 students’ final exam grades on the left, and their extraordinary, AI-assisted mid-term grades on the right.
A few students stand out. Especially noteworthy are the two students who clearly didn’t cheat:
• Student #1 scored a 95 on both exams.
• Student #22 scored a 55 on the midterm and then improved to a 59 on the final. S/he is the only student whose grade improved on the final.
• Two students scored a 100 on the mid-term and a 0 on the final.
Historically for employers, the importance of a college degree was that it served as an aptitude test, and it also documented that graduating students had endured a rigorous, four-year (or more) credentialing program. This scholastic tenacity was assumed to translate into a solid work ethic.
At this point, a mail-order diploma is as much a signifier of aptitude as a degree earned by ChatGPT, and the brazen use of AI to take an exam is no different than hiring a scholastic ringer to take the final for you. People in my day got expelled for doing that.
An actual education has almost nothing to do with why young adults are still going to college. There is still some residual prestige to having a degree from a name-brand university, and the power of networking is still strong. Plus, there is the pull of “the college experience.” But if the majority of students have no interest in actually getting an education, then the university model has run its course.
I almost feel sorry for the kids graduating college now, because there is an assumption that their degree is fraudulent due to AI. Even sadder, those who don’t cheat are almost certainly paying the price with a below-average GPA.
With all that said, if I were hiring right now, I’d try to find out who student number 22 is and hire him. He is smart enough to be a middle-of-the-pack student, and he’s ethical enough not to cheat, even when it’s an accepted practice by virtually all of his peers.
President Trump revealed that China stole the voter registration data of 220 million Americans as part of his primetime speech on Thursday.
“Over a period of years, starting during the 2020 election cycle, the People’s Republic of China carried out what is believed to be the largest compromise of election data in history, resulting in China’s illicit acquisition of 220 million U.S. voter files,” Trump said in remarks from the East Room of the White House.
“That information includes names, addresses, phone numbers, political party preferences, and other sensitive data that would be needed to register to vote and engage in other nefarious activities, which is exactly what was happening,” the president continued. “This data loss presents an unprecedented election security nightmare.
Obviously, Donald Trump was and remains an existential threat to the plans and schemes of the Chi-Coms and every other malign actor in the world and they have a vested interest in derailing and sabotaging him at every turn. Did their hack actually interfere with or otherwise corrupt and subvert the results of 2020? Who knows.
But President Trump's and by extension our greatest threat continues to come from within our own country with its epicenter in the Democrat Party and leftist movement. It was and remains my assertion beyond any doubt that they did in fact steal the 2020 election via several tactics, most notably the massive mail-in ballot fiascos as a result of the coronavirus lockdowns that destroyed any semblance of ballot/election integrity most notably in the several key swing states and districts where corrupt Democrat operatives engaged in massive ballot dumping and cessation of the counts that allowed that to happen.
As you my recall, I wrote a book about it that is based on my reportage on election day/night and covering the subsequent weeks up until one of our darkest days in history, January 6th, 2021 when the electoral college vote was made kosher in Congress and the Democrats attempted to blood libel us with causing an insurrection.
If you don't want to purchase the book (and to this day I have yet to receive a penny in royalties, feh.) you can just access my column here in the archives from that day forward and read it there.
CBS News aired part of President Trump’s prime-time speech on election fraud Thursday night, joining in late and switching away as the commander-in-chief called for ABC and NBC to lose their licenses for not showing his remarks. Before tuning into Trump’s speech, CBS anchor Tony Dokoupil explained why the network was airing it: “Much of what the President has said on [security of American elections] has been false.” “There is an argument that it’s irresponsible to air the president’s speech tonight. But this speech will be made. It will be news. And it’s our job to cover the news,” Dokoupil said.
For far too long our counterterrorism doctrine has had a blind spot — a blind spot when it comes to extremist violence from the political left.
Even today, the very idea that far-left terrorism could be a serious threat is treated as a right-wing fever dream, or worse, as a dangerous fascist conspiracy. It’s treated this way by many in the press, by many in academia and our universities, and by many of our legacy institutions. You will no doubt see the dogma rear its head in the coverage of this very conference.
In spite of the clear and the undeniable reality, in spite of the objective numbers and statistics, in spite of the fact that in this room today there are representatives from across the political spectrum, we will hear this organized — that this kind of organized violence and terror will be dismissed. It will be dismissed as a partisan fiction. . . For years, this extraordinary ideological prejudice was embedded in the way we talked about political violence and extremism. It was repeated again and again, until it was accepted as the neutral and objective baseline, so entrenched in the mainstream conventional wisdom that it came to be regarded as an apolitical fact.
It is the reason why, here in my country, so many people in positions of power have repeatedly dismissed acts of violence and even terrorism as legitimate forms of political expression so long as they served a left-wing cause.
It is why during those so-called George Floyd riots in the summer of 2020, as criminals and extremists burned and looted their way through America’s great cities and nearly brought the country to its knees, city governments all across the country simply refused to prosecute the people conducting these acts of violence and terror.
Of course our fantastic Secretary of State is absolutely right. The question is what are we going to do about it?! Yes, there are threats that do come from abroad but the cancer of Leftism/Communism which had its origins overseas a century ago have now metastasized here. It must be utterly eradicated root and branch and I'm afraid that is going to be a painful and bloody affair, both figuratively and quite literally given the nature of our most implacable of enemies, our fellow citizens in name only who view the nation and society that we allegedly share as both illegitimate and an evil to be eradicated by any means necessary.
I think Rubio one day will or could be a truly outstanding president, that is if the Democrat forces of darkness and evil do not snuff us out in the years ahead.

WASHINGTON -- All remaining US military forces will be out of Iraq by the end of September, the nation's new prime minister Ali al-Zaidi said during a Tuesday visit to the White House.
"On the 30th of September, the US forces will be out of Iraq, while these companies will be inside Iraq," al-Zaidi said through a translator when speaking to reporters alongside President Trump in the Oval Office.
About 2,000 US troops currently are stationed in Iraq, mostly at the Harir Air Base in Erbil in the northern Kurdistan region.
Washington and Baghdad agreed in September 2024 to a phased withdrawal of US forces who had remained to support counter-Islamic State (ISIS) operations at the request of the Kurdish regional government.
Trump withdrew US troops in April from Syria, where they also helped crush the jihadist caliphate, which once claimed vast territories in the two countries.
...
The current withdrawal reflects a shift in US focus after Trump forged a partnership with Syria's ex-al Qaeda president, Ahmed al-Sharaa, whom he has credited with imposing stability over his nation.
...
Trump showered al-Zaidi with praise during his visit, announcing the men would have an unplanned lunch and predicting the "handsome" new leader, 41, would serve as a long-term leader with significant influence in the region.

This is the woman who "beat" Spencer Pratt to get into the runoff for mayor.
Just three out of a promised 2,000 apartments have been used to relocate the homeless in Nithya Raman's failed $60 million project to get people off the streets.
Councilmember Raman, the chair of the Los Angeles City Council's Housing and Homelessness Committee, introduced the Time Limited Subsidy program back in September as a cheaper alternative to Mayor Karen Bass' Inside Safe Program -- meant to get homeless people into an established residence.
Raman's plan was to lease and move homeless people into 2,000 apartments and subsidize their rent, rather than pay for them to stay in motels or shelters.
However, nearly a year after that plan was launched -- with $62.6 million in taxpayer funds behind it -- only three apartments are occupied.
The City Council first approved investing in the subsidy model last September as part of its strategy for complying with a court settlement with the Los Angeles Alliance for Human Rights.
Four months later, on January 28, the council approved resources for a redesigned program targeting 2,000 households.
The full rollout began March 1.
However, only three units had occupants by June 25, according to a July 1 presentation to Raman's powerful homeless committee -- a damning result for a program Raman has campaigned to take citywide if elected Mayor.
Fetterman: I'll quit the Democrat Party if it becomes, "officially," the anti-Israel party.
Well, for one thing, it already is the anti-Israel party. There was no official declaration but everyone understands it is now the Hamas Party. Even Rahm Emmanuel, who is Jewish, but running for president in a pro-Hamas party, announced that it's time for the US to stop funding Israel.
So Fetterman is okay with all of this, as long as they give him plausible deniability and not make it "official."
And more importantly: While I appreciate the support for Israel, there's another country the Democrats are trying to destroy that I support even more. That country is the United States of America. No problem with that, huh?

New York's share of US millionaires dramatically declined in recent years, causing a nearly $11 billion loss in much-needed tax revenue in just one year, according to a bombshell new analysis.
The study released Monday by the Citizen Budget Commisison comes amid fears that socialist Mayor Zohran Mamdani's push to "tax the rich" will drive even more wealthy taxpayers and their businesses out of New York City.
Even before Mamdani took office, the Empire State's share of the nation's millionaires dipped from 12.7% to 8.7% between 2010 and 2022 -- the largest decline of any state, according to the CBC's Competitive NYS: Value Proposition Tracker dashboard.
"New York's declining share of high-income taxpayers has meaningful consequences," the analysis states.
This is the game Mamdani is playing.
He “freezes” rent, which means some landlords can’t afford to do repairs or keep renters, and then people get evicted.
Then he weaponizes that anger in his favor. The end goal is confiscation.

Why does it look like shit? People have complained that the movie is all gray and brown.
The movie is projected to make $200 million world wide this weekend. They used to predict North America box office, but they want a bigger number, so now they talk about global takings.
The movie will make money in its first two weeks. But super hero movies and Christopher Nolan movies are very front-loaded -- the fans want to see the movie early before spoilers leak, and plus this movie was shot entirely in IMAX, and it will only have IMAX screens for two weeks (until Spider-Man comes out on July 31).
Will the movie have legs past then? I don't think so. It sounds like boring, woke homework about DEI Sailing with two good special effects (the cyclops attack and Circe turning Odysseus's men into swine).

These accounts exist to lobotomize the American right.
A right that cannot recognize its values in a serious adaptation of Homer, and torches it over a casting sheet, has forfeited the culture it claims to defend.
Conservatives should ignore them. Let them lose on their own.
Giancarlo Sopo
@GiancarloSopo
You don't know that though.
Casting choices are made for a ton of reasons -- artistic and commercial.
Nolan is not a particularly ideological or subversive filmmaker. His filmography is clear on that.
Also, what's the proof that he used a "wokified translation"? He said he read Watson's along with others.
And if casting an Oscar-winning actress in a minor role is "controversial" because she's black, well, it says more about the people who find it controversial than it does about him.
Nolan named the "woke" translation as the first of the translations he consulted. And the African "Helen of Troy" confirms that the movie has rewritten the Odyssey to be more female-centric, which was the whole point of the woke feminist translation.
Update: Never change, National Review.

Family of 18 from Gaza wins human rights challenge to allow them to come to Britain in major blow for Labour
Yes, even the Great Replacement Labour Party wanted to keep this gang of pirates out of the country.
A judge overruled them, citing Europe's pernicious, civilization-destroying European Commission on Human Rights -- basically the Enabling Act for the Great Replacement.
A family of 18 from Gaza has won the right to come to Britain after launching a human rights challenge in the British courts.
The landmark case was brought after a Gazan-born mother-of-three - who came to the UK as a refugee and is now a British citizen -- was refused permission to bring her extended family into this country.
Her relatives -- both parents; a brother, his wife and four children; a sister and four children; and another sister, her husband and three children -- won a legal challenge on human rights grounds.
Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood then attempted to have that decision overturned -- but this week lost the case.
The case exposes yet again how human rights laws undermine Britain's border controls by overturning decisions made by the Home Secretary.
The Conservatives said the 'shameful' ruling risked 'opening the floodgates to thousands of Palestinians claiming asylum here due to Labour's pitiful adherence to flawed human rights laws'.
The Home Office refused permission for the Palestinians' application to come to Britain under refugee family reunification rules.
Their original application was lodged in late November 2023, about a month after Israeli forces entered Gaza in the wake of Hamas' October 7 surprise attacks which killed nearly 1,200 people.
It has now emerged for the first time that the family won a human rights appeal in the lower immigration court in April last year.
That decision led to an appeal by the Home Secretary in the upper immigration tribunal.
But Upper Tribunal Judge Gemma Loughran threw out Ms Mahmood's case, agreeing that denying the family permission to come to the UK breached Labour's Human Rights Act.
The Palestinians argued they had a 'right to family life' under the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) and won their case under Section 6 of the Act which sets out how it is 'unlawful for a public authority to act in a way which is incompatible with a Convention right'.
The woman suing to bring this cart of invalids over to the UK admitted she could only provide for her parents -- the rest are going straight to permanent welfare.
..
The ruling showed most of the adult applicants could not speak English and that the UK-based sister would only be able to accommodate her parents.
The lower tribunal judge 'concluded that the applicants would require access to public funds', the ruling added.
The UK-based daughter and her three children had suffered 'mental health problems' caused by their relatives' 'situation in Gaza', the judge said.
Referring to the lower court's decision, Judge Loughran said: 'The judge concluded that the applicants' refusal of entry clearance would give rise to consequences of such gravity for the sponsor and her children as to be unjustifiably harsh such that the public interest was outweighed.
None of these people speak English but yes they'll all likely get jobs and all the children will easily integrate because they have the "capacity to learn" pic.twitter.com/tD5LPxLvMY
Not the guy who handed his nine-months-pregnant wife divorce papers so he could bang his side-piece openly (while claiming it's a "new relationship").

Take your filthy lies, NY Post, and hit the road, Jack!!!
Arizona Democratic Sen. Ruben Gallego, a potential 2028 presidential candidate, engaged in sexual relationships with at least two House staffers and his "very flirtatious" habits with others may come back to haunt him, The Post has learned.
The 46-year-old lawmaker admitted to the two relationships -- both with aides to Texas Democrats -- to one source while a second person said they had recently learned of the romantic entanglements.
A third source confirmed one of the dalliances, both of which are said to have been consensual and occurred during Gallego's decade representing Phoenix in the House.
The relationships are part of a broader "pattern of mistakes and missteps and judgment calls," one source said, noting the imbalanced power dynamics of an elected official dating staffers. One of the women was in her 20s and much younger than Gallego at the time.
"What else could there be out there?" this person asked.
Last month, the Senate Ethics Committee dismissed a complaint brought against Gallego by Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) that alleged campaign finance violations and sexual misconduct against the Democrat, who was elected to the Senate in 2024.
The panel, chaired by Sen. James Lankford (R-Okla.), "didn't ask" about Gallego's relationships with the staffers -- likely because it was unaware -- and instead "focused squarely on what Luna presented to them," an insider said this week.
"Ethics looked in the wrong place," this person summed up the congressional probe.
It could also be that Lankford, who is a stone-cold liberal saboteur, deliberately went easy on Gallego because he doesn't want Senators being outed for secret sex.
When asked if The Post's reporting was accurate, Gallego again said, "I'm not going to engage in gossip."
Sources said it's believed both relationships occurred while Gallego was unmarried.
Uh-huh. You mean in between the pregnant wife he divorced and the side-piece he married later
...
"If the Ethics Committee comes back and says, 'We are opening an investigation,' question one [for Gallego] is: 'Did you ever have relationships with any staff member during your time in Congress?'" a source said.
"I wouldn't be surprised if there are more that he has to list, and he can't lie about that because, you know, it's a sworn [statement]."
A Democratic operative who has interacted with Gallego said she found news of the staffer relationships "not surprising."
"I have witnessed firsthand his very flirtatious nature after a couple of drinks," she said. "Maybe he thinks he's being charming? I don't know. Guy gives me the creeps. I've always steered clear."
Gallego married his second wife, Sydney, in June 2021. He filed for divorce from his first wife, Katie, 10 days before Christmas in 2016 when she was nine months pregnant.
In addition to the senator's personal life, Gallego faces another headache in the form of a Justice Department investigation into his alleged misuse of campaign funds to attend the Super Bowl in 2023 as well as to take vacations to St. Barts, Disney World and Disneyland. Gallego said the Trump DOJ was "targeting" him for political reasons.
The Post notes that Gallego -- hilariously -- thinks he can be president one day.

However, then-President Donald Trump's administration did not issue Singh a work visa.
But in 2021, the administration of former President Joe Biden granted Dingh a work permit, allowing him to obtain a license in California.
Singh received a full-term commercial driver's license in Washington in 2023 despite not being eligible for one.
To make matters worse, in July 2024, California issued Singh a limited-term non-domiciled commercial driver's license despite his failing the English Language Proficiency assessment, answering two of 12 verbal questions, and accurately identifying only one of four highway signs.

Leftwing Propaganda Found In Home of Suspected Murderer of Pro-Brexit Former Conservative MP -- Despite UK Cops Previously Claiming There Was No Political Motive
—Disinformation Expert Ace
This is the woman whose murder leftists, and trannies in particular, were celebrating.
The suspect in the alleged murder of Brexit warrior and former government minister Ann Widdecombe reportedly had far-left literature in his home, as police have been forced to belatedly admit that there may have been a political motive in last week's killing.
We're getting a little more detail from police now from a statement given on the steps of Scotland Yard, with Counter Terrorism Police saying of the killing of Brexiteer Ann Widdecombe: "It is clear this was a targeted attack. We are still working to understand the extent of any planning or preparation, and the motivation that sits behind that attack."
...
Searches of the so-far publicly unidentified 28-year-old "white" male suspect reportedly revealed that he owned "Russian communist literature" and "items of political ideology" in his home.
The Lotus Eaters podcast pointed out the UK cops now routinely hide the race of a suspect -- unless he's white, in which case they repeat it endlessly, as they did here.
According to a report from the Daily Mail, the discovery was followed by counter terror police taking over the investigation into the alleged murder of Widdecombe, a strident conservative who, unlike many on the so-called British right-wing, publicly opposed abortion, gay marriage, mass migration, and who stood as one of the nation's leading Brexiteers and political allies of Reform UK leader Nigel Farage.
The admission of a political motive behind the killing came after the local Devon and Cornwall Police were quick to attempt to downplay the possibility that it was either a terrorism-related incident or was politically motivated.
Assistant Chief Constable Matt Longman went on to urge the public to refrain from "speculation" over the motive behind the killing, describing it as "unhelpful" to the investigation and claimed that it was "distressing to the family and friends of Ms Widdecombe."
The police response has come under heavy criticism, with many claiming that it appears the messaging surrounding the investigation was intended to manipulate public opinion rather than relay the truth.
...
"I don't understand why Devon and Cornwall Police were steering the public away from the idea that this was a terrorist case and I don't know why they didn't simply say they had an open mind as to the motivation," he said.
Similar sentiments were shared by Reform UK board member Gawain Towler, who said of the police response: "In the past, they'd have said all avenues of investigation are open, but this time they tried to close out avenues of the investigation. In a time when trust in the police is at an all-time low, this just plays into that they are trying to massage public opinion."
They have little interest in stopping crime, but a great interest in stopping tweets.
The suspect had communist propaganda in his home -- and specifically, Russian propaganda.
The brutal murder of Ann Widdecombe was last night being treated as a suspected politically motivated terrorist attack.
In a dramatic escalation, counter terrorism officers yesterday took over the investigation into the killing of the former Tory minister. It came after the discovery of Russian communist literature and other items of political ideology at the home of the suspected killer.
And it marked a U-turn after the local force, Devon and Cornwall Police, spent days insisting that there was no link to terrorism. Officers, it is understood, are probing whether the 78-year-old may have been bludgeoned to death in a premeditated attack on Reform UK.
They are looking at whether a self-radicalised loner may have considered the pensioner an 'easy target' in comparison to more prominent party figures, such as Nigel Farage, who have security.
Last night, Reform accused Devon and Cornwall police of misleading the public in the initial stages of the investigation.
Senior officers were under pressure to explain why they so publicly ruled out terror or a political motivation.
Two days after the murder, detectives arrested a local labourer in error, before later detaining a 28-year-old man 270 miles away in Rotherham on Saturday night. The Mail has learnt that items of varying political ideology, including Russian material, have been found at the suspect's home and on electronic devices.
But investigators do not believe there is any evidence of hostile state involvement.
Counter terrorism police are investigating whether the 'lone wolf' targeted Ms Widdecombe due to her political views, which she frequently expressed during regular appearances on TV and radio defending Reform as the party's immigration and justice spokesman. The former Strictly contestant was well known for her beliefs, including opposition to abortion and gay rights.
They still haven't admitted the motive, but they're certain it's a "lone wolf" killing.
They can't do anything about crime and terrorism, so they'll just focus on manipulating public opinion through the leftwing media.
Of course you've seen this a dozen times in the US -- as evidence mounts that this was yet another leftwing psychopath obeying the implicit commands to kill fed to him by the political left, the left attempts to claim it wasn't leftist Assassination Prep that motivated the latest act of terrorist murder, but just generic "online hate."
Left-wing British politicians have already begun to seize upon the killing of Brexit hero Ann Widdecombe to push for more censorship on social media to combat "hate", despite police having made no public indication that the suspected killer was radicalised online.
The political, media, and law enforcement establishments were quick to condemn British citizens for "speculation" over the potential motives behind the killing of former Conservative government minister and Brexit Party Member of European Parliament Ann Widdecombe, while accusing her long-time allies, like Nigel Farage, of seeking to exploit her death for political purposes.
However, contrary to Widdecombe's long career in public life, in which she stood as a strident defender of free speech, Deputy Leader of the Labour Party, Lucy Powell, took to the floor of the House of Commons to give a speech concerning Widdecombe's death to advocate for more government speech restrictions.
"We do need to tackle some of the online algorithms and business models which heighten this kind of polarisation and hate towards those in public life, and we must do more to tackle this with urgency," she said.
The Morning Rant: Go After The Big Employers Of Illegals First!
—CBD
ICE's efforts to rid America of the scourge of violent illegal criminals who prey on our citizens is laudable, and in fact should be expanded. Contrary to the media's portrayal of a country that is upset that violent criminals who try to run down law enforcement get ventilated, most Americans understand that trying to kill cops is a good way to get shot, and aren't troubled by it.
The FBI and other data suggest about 1.25 million violent crimes in 2024, and that's just the reported ones. Law enforcement shot/killed about 1,000 that year, so it certainly isn't some insane number of violent criminals being killed extrajudicially! The number that ICE shoots is a rounding error in the total, so the panty-bunched soi-boys in the corporate GOP and the Democrat Party (but I repeat myself) can shut the f*ck up and sit the f*ck down. And that goes for Markwayne Mullin too, but President Trump already took care of that! [Sefton and I talked a bit about that on our podcast]
But there is another vast reservoir of illegals that seems to have been put on the back burner by the Trump administration. And that is the millions that are employed by our largest companies. The open secret of widespread use of illegal labor in many industries is an obscene dismissal of the Americans who would like to work, but can't. Or the Americans whose wages are depressed because of the millions of additional workers in America who are paid less than the prevailing wage because of their illegal status.
Here are the heavy hitters.

Notice that Joe's Landscaping, and Quality Painting, and ABC Roofing, are nowhere to be found on those lists. And that is because the enforcement that I suggest should start at the very top, and target our largest corporations that knowingly, in direct violation of The Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA) of 1986, employee illegals. Leave the little guys alone for now, and focus on the companies that are public, with boards of directors and CEOs and presidents who can be held criminally liable for the lawbreaking of their companies.
A few videos of the CEOs of Hormel and Bechtel and Hyatt being cuffed and thrown into the back of a police car would do wonders to focus the minds of the remaining executives!
And enforcement would be easier, since these large corporations keep meticulous records, and any halfway decent forensic accountant would be able to find the illegals. And yes, the pathetic government systems that give these companies an out by being able to say, "Well, we checked through E-Verify," need to be improved. They are not the only ones who are complicit...our government is its own worst enemy.
Concurrent with that enforcement should be an increase in the fines for employing illegals. Today it is a paltry $3,000/worker and imprisonment for up to six months. Those fines should be per worker, per day, and imprisonment should be more significant. And that imprisonment should be reserved for the highest corporate executive, not the clerk in the hiring office. And perhaps rewards for whistleblowers who rat out their CEOs! That would be a delicious way to energize the country and show our workers that they are not the targets...their bosses are.
Yes...that is rank populist sleaze, but it would work, and we do not have the luxury of taking the high road any more. Ronald Reagan took the high road in 1986, and the Democrats mugged him and left him on the side of that road with no pants.

Good morning kids. As we discussed on the latest episode of the podcast linked here
as well as in the sidebar and available on the popular outlets noted at the end of this post, the usual suspects on the Left as well as shockingly from DHS chief Markwayne Mullin are in an uproar about ICE agents not only doing their duty in rounding up illegal aliens but in using lethal force to defend their lives from being snuffed out by their quarry. Despite the disgusting naked propaganda campaign to turn not merely lettuce-picking border jumpers but the most violent criminal rapists, murderers, human and drug-traffickers among them into the second coming of Anne Frank resisting the Gestapo.
Federal authorities found three bags of what they believe to be meth inside the van driven by the Mexican man who was shot and killed by Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Houston last week. An FBI search warrant said investigators found bags containing a “white crystal-like substance” that “is consistent with methamphetamine” inside the vehicle driven by Lorenzo Salgado Araujo.
But of course law enforcement officers stopping this bastard was a crime against humanity, eh Democrats? So they've now got a wetback George Floyd to try and shove in our faces.
WASHINGTON – The United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) released the following statement confirming that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has arrested and deported an illegal alien from Laos who had been pardoned by Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and his fellow sanctuary politicians despite a prior conviction for repeatedly sexually assaulting a 10-year-old girl.
Tou Lue Vang, an illegal alien from Laos, had been convicted in 2006 of first-degree criminal sexual conduct after he repeatedly assaulted a girl between 2002 and 2004, starting when she was just 10 years old. He once offered his victim $10 to keep quiet about the sexual assaults. When interviewed by police, he tried to justify his actions as “a cultural thing,” and even said that his victim was just as guilty as him and should also be arrested.
Following his conviction, a Department of Justice (DOJ) Immigration Judge issued Vang a final order of removal on October 31, 2006.
Tim Walz who is a credibly suspected P3do himself pardoned this Laotion louse to prevent his ejection from our country. Thank goodness that heinous abuse of power was rejected but how many more of these bastards must we be forced to endure. It would be better that the administration not attempt to kowtow and pander to the Left by accepting their premises about ICE and other law enforcement officers doing their duty and unfortunately having to on occasion use lethal force to defend their lives from vermin foreign and domestic who are tearing us apart from within.
We’re not too surprised that 51% of liberals say they’re “willing to pay higher taxes to support more social programs.” (Although the number should be 100%.)
But why do 30% of Republicans feel this way? And why in the world would more than one in five “conservatives” say they’d pay higher taxes for more services?
It gets worse.
The poll also asked whether respondents “believe the government should own key industries such as healthcare and energy.”
Incredibly, 43% of Republicans agree, as do 41% of conservatives. That’s barely higher than the share of liberals who want government ownership of key industries.
Yeah, I get it polls schmolls and poles are for strippers. But still. Maybe Markwayne Mullin's behavior is reflected here or perhaps it's something else. In any case, it's not good news.

Horde Shopping Update
I know what you're thinking. "Last week, you told us about the impending auction of Gus, one of the largest and most complete T-Rex skeletons ever found. What happened with that auction?" Glad you asked.
The auction estimate was $20 to $30 million, but Gus sold for over $50 million to an undisclosed buyer.
A Tyrannosaurus rex fossil billed as one of the world's largest and most complete specimens sold for a record $50.1 million Tuesday.
Sotheby's said the 67-million-year-old fossil, nicknamed "Gus," is now the most expensive set of dinosaur bones ever auctioned off, besting the almost $45 million price tag for a nearly complete stegosaurus sold by the same New York auction house in 2024. The previous record holder had been a Tyrannosaurus rex skeleton nicknamed "Stan" that sold for nearly $32 million in 2020.
The auction house said the mystery winner outbid six other prospective buyers during Tuesday's 10-minute bidding battle.
If the buyer is among the Horde, please send me a note. Your secret will be safe with me.

Pophouse Entertainment, the investment firm co-founded by ABBA's Bjorn Ulvaeus, has announced a partnership with legendary British heavy metal band Iron Maiden, acquiring a stake in the publishing and master music rights, and the name, image, and likeness (NIL) rights. Billboard reports that Pophouse has acquired a 50% "stake" in the assets.
The deal includes rights to the band's iconic mascot, the ghoulish character "Eddie."
However, for the sake of context, Pophouse paid upward of $300 million for a similar deal with Kiss, although the percentage was unclear.
The partnership, which has been structured and developed over the last year between Pophouse and the band's co-manager, Andy Taylor, "will enable Iron Maiden to pursue new creative ventures that connect with existing fans as well as bringing their extensive catalogue to new audiences," according to the announcement.
Does this mean Iron Maiden concerts will continue for perpetuity with a holographic Bruce Dickinson singing Fear of the Dark with a holographic Eddie?
Police in Ontario are reminding residents not to bring explosives to police stations after an unexploded World War II grenade was turned in at an Ottawa station.
The Ontario Provincial Police said a resident brought the grenade to the OPP Detachment in Ottawa on Friday.
"The OPP would like to remind the public that if you find such items, please do not transport them to your local police station," OPP East Region wrote on social media. "This could obviously prove extremely dangerous to the person bringing the item and others around."
Officials recommended residents instead leave any explosives where they are found and report the location to authorities.
Of course, Ontario appears to be on fire at the moment, so maybe grenades have dropped down the priority list since Friday.

Because as I demonstrated on my show, there were MANY young men that all woke up and decided to dress in Maroon shirts and light shorts on the day of the Charlie's assassination.
The footage can be any one of these young men and in my opinion is likely multiple of them.
If Tyler Robinson's defense would like to contact me-- I'd be happy to supply them the folder of the maroon boys that I began archiving when I noticed the bizarre fashion trend.
I have thus far ID'd two of them, but will focus on IDing the rest of them when I am back on air.
I have maintained that the Feds had multiple decoy maroon boys on the ground that day. Without a clear image, they certainly cannot declare it is Tyler Robinson which is why all the Zionist influencers are hoping they can simply hypnotize the public into trusting blurry images and videos.

Photos of the ammunition recovered from Tyler Robinson.
Remington headstamp on the case and despite the somewhat low resolution on the photo you can see the somewhat blunted nature of the projectile's tip.
This is a Remington Cor-Lokt soft point round. It's SPECIFICALLY designed to deform, slow down, and prevent an exit wound. Available at literally every single gun store and sporting goods store that sells ammunition.
In fact, 16 out of the 17 .30-06 varieties manufactured by Remington use some type of expanding, deforming, or fragmenting bullet. Only ONE of their products uses a full metal jacket projectile that could/would be expected to leave an exit wound.
Here's a clip of them sitting in my desk.
