U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers at ports of entry in Texas have seized more than 9,000 pounds of methamphetamine with a street value of more than $80 million in just four incidents during the month of June. The thwarted cartel smuggling attempts occurred in Laredo, El Paso, and Pharr, Texas. In two interdictions on the Juneteenth holiday, officers seized more than $72.3 million in methamphetamine as smugglers attempted to push through two south Texas ports of entry. The larger of the two seizures occurred on June 19 at the World Trade Bridge in Laredo, when a CBP officer…

The U.S. manufacturing sector continued to expand in June, and the price increases that have squeezed manufacturers for much of the past two years began to ease significantly, according to a pair of surveys released Wednesday. The Institute for Supply Management’s manufacturing index registered 53.3 in June, down from 54.0 in May but marking a sixth consecutive month of expansion. A separate gauge from S&P Global came in with a reading of 53.9, extending an 11-month run of expansion. Readings above 50 in both surveys indicate expansion. Economists watch the indexes for early signs of turns in the economy because…

Pennsylvania state Rep. Chris Rabb, the Democrat nominee for Pennsylvania’s 3rd Congressional District, denounced the Declaration of Independence, capitalism, billionaires, and what he called “American exceptionalism.” Rabb made the remarks during the “America at 250 — Trump Fascism, Historical Erasure, and the Battle Over Truth” panel, held June 26 at People’s Plaza on Independence Mall in Philadelphia.

During the discussion, Rabb argued that the Declaration of Independence did not deliver freedom to everyone and instead helped preserve the power…

The Eurobarometer survey seems custom-designed to deliver the answers Brussels wants The European Union’s in-house pollsters have concluded that their citizens overwhelmingly support the decisions made in Brussels, and want more of what the EU is giving them. It doesn’t take much digging to discover that someone is cooking the books.The topline results from the latest Eurobarometer survey paint a rosy picture of life in the EU. 75% of respondents see the EU “as a place of stability in a troubled world,” they value its “contribution to protecting peace and strengthening security,” and “vast majorities of Europeans” want deeper integration…

Hollywood will whine, threaten, complain, and warn over the dangers of AI until the end of time, but it’s all bullshit. AI will not only deliver a much less expensive way to create entertainment in the future, it will also allow Americans (especially Boomers) do what they like best — hold on forever to the past. This is how silly and futile opposition to AI is… While one of the crybaby guilds is putting Oscar-winning legend Martin Scorsese through a struggle session for using AI (instead of a unionized employee) for something as anodyne as creating storyboards, Netflix just brought…

THESSALONIKI, Greece (AP) – Three pre-dawn firebomb attacks apparently targeting the residences of members of Greece’s governing conservative New Democracy party have left five people hospitalized, authorities said Wednesday. The attacks between 4 a.m. and 4:45 a.m. outside apartment buildings in the northern Greek city of Thessaloniki used crude explosive devices made with camping gas canisters. All the injuries were sustained from the last of the three attacks, where cars and motorcycles were set ablaze, police said. One of the cars reportedly was owned by a parliamentary candidate for the New Democracy party. The candidate suffered burns and her mother…

Once the acceptable level of discomfort becomes a public policy question, it isn’t going to stop there The mercury tops 40C for days on end. So what do you do? Actually, that’s a trick question. I don’t really care what you do – and you shouldn’t care what I do, either. My body, my choice. It’s amazing how quickly that principle becomes negotiable when a liberticidal agenda of mass conformity and control is afoot.Personally, it’s simple. When France turns into a blazing inferno, as it has multiple times in the past two decades that I’ve been here, I just fire…

(Photo by Kevin Carter/Getty Images)Getty ImagesIn the world of third-party retail marketplaces, Target stands apart. While Amazon and Walmart run open platforms where any vendor can pay to play and get their products listed alongside first-party inventory, Target Plus is carefully curated, where only selected brands are invited to play in their sandbox. This transforms the marketplace shopping experience from an abundance of riches—and the paradox of choice that comes with it—into a carefully edited collection of products…
