[X] A man was caught vandalizing a Tesla in Toronto by keying its side, an act recorded by the car's Sentry Mode camera.
If the authorities do not act quickly enough, the owners — and dealerships, as appropriate — ought to crowdsource finding the miscreants and suing them and their connections into penury. As I understand it (and our clever legal experts will no doubt be able to clarify and correct where I err), the requirements for winning a civil suit are not nearly so stringent as for winning a criminal case.
The incident, occurring outside the vandal's apartment, led to widespread online sharing and discussion about the effectiveness of Tesla's surveillance features. Many online commentators expressed surprise and amusement at the vandal's apparent ignorance of the vehicle's camera system, sparking conversations about vehicle security and the awareness of modern car technology.
How lovely that the discussants (which really is a word, as it turns out) have anticipated me. Go to the link to see a number of Tesla Sentry Mode videos of vicious idiots becoming famous — perhaps you will recognize one, dear Reader.
[BREITBART] FEMA clarified to Breitbart News that the 270,000 number refers to individuals and households, not just homeowners.
As Breitbart News has reported, many displaced residents had tried applying for FEMA relief, only to find that someone else had already applied in their name and with their address, locking them out of the system.
FEMA attempts to make relief funds easy to apply for, but the downside is that fraudsters can more easily take advantage of the system. A FEMA official said that problem was a major reason for closing applications at the end of the month, instead of extending them for a full year, as Rep. Brad Sherman (D-CA) requested.
Identity theft in natural disasters may seem shocking, but it is not uncommon — especially when maps of affected areas and addresses are easily available online. Several individuals have already been arrested for fraud in connection with FEMA grants in the L.A. fires — one of whom is suspected of having collected on similar fraudulent applications for two decades, going back to Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans in 2005.
Newly-installed Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman had warned in January that fraudsters would descend on L.A. Victims have been asked to contact the FBI, at 1-800-CALL-FBI/.
[Jpost] US President Donald Trump on Friday rescinded the security clearances for former Vice President Kamala Harris and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and others, according to a memorandum issued by the White House.
The Republican president, who has also revoked the security clearance for former President Joe Biden, faced Clinton in the 2016 presidential election and Harris in last year's election.
They’re no longer working for the government, so they don’t need to be able to access secret government information. But that has nothing to do what they might figure out from open source stuff, just like we do here. If their value add is their deeper understanding of events, they’ll continue understanding deeply without being told secrets. If their only value is the contacts who tell them secrets, then they weren't all that valuable after all.

I was disappointed to see him grant the one law firm back their clearances.

Former President Joe Biden, former VP Kamala Harris and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton are among the 15 individuals listed in President Donald Trump's memo on revoking security clearances.

Don't worry. I'm sure they will find a judge who will order Trump to restore the clearances. Oh, and be sure to give Hunter one as well, while Trump's at it.
As the Democratic Party faces a problem not winning enough support from American men, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz says he believes some Republican voters felt threatened by his questionable masculinity and challenged them to a limp wrist slap fight. Apparently Wimpy thinks he's tough even when he's not murdering seniors in nursing homes. Continued on Page 47

It’s not going to happen. Also nobody wants to see a sweaty Walz in a singlet.

Even if, the only way he wouldn't get a last minute transfer is if there was a young Chinese boy in the ring.

Teachers with tenure will cherry-pick the high performing students and new teachers will be given the challenging students. If done by test scores then teachers will just teach the test (not the worst case but still gaming the system).
The best reward system is allowing parents to move their children to the school of their choice; just break the public school monopoly and make schools compete.

Teachers are only a third of the problem. The two other big ones are administrators and the parents. Fundamentally, if the parents don't care, neither of the other two will have much effect. However, the teachers and administrators just ask for more money that doesn't solve that one major problem.
First pass at the problem: Set the same grade-level test at the beginning of the school year and along with final exams. Measure the delta in scores, normalized for expected achievement — slow class, average class, honours class — where the class will take that label to the next grade, and individual students can be moved between levels as individual achievement merits.
Give teachers who move their class — or X% of the class — up a level a merit bonus. No bonus for keeping honours classes at the honours level, penalty for classes that drop a level. This will incentivize the best teachers to take the worst classes and show what they can do, and drive the worst teachers out of the profession.
When I was in school, one of my teachers told the story of an inner city teacher who called together her high school class at the beginning of the year, saying to them, “Listen, guys, I need to tell you something, but you can’t tell anyone, ok? The school is doing an experiment: they put all the gifted kids in one class, so that the class can move faster and go deeper into the material without worrying that not everyone can keep up. This was based on test scores, not grades, because grades don’t necessarily measure actual ability to learn. This is that class. I know some of you don’t have the grades, for various reasons, so if you have any trouble with the material, come to me and we’ll get you caught up — I want to show the school what a class like this can do.” The class moved up two grades in material mastery by the end of the year, and later all the students graduated with honours. The thing is, the teacher lied — it was an average inner city class with average inner city students.
My teacher had told the story to humble us, an honours class in one of the top public school districts in the country at the time, where a good portion of the students had parents who taught at the various universities in the area. We had all the educational advantages, so our performance was expected, not something to show we were special.
That’s nice. Apparently nobody else wants them back, though.
[NBCNEWS] Former President Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S. Sleazy Dem machine politician, paterfamilias of the Biden Crime Family... has told some Democratic leaders he'll raise funds, campaign and do anything else necessary for Democrats ...every time you hear the phrase white people, white supremacy,white anything but paint, you're listening to a Democrat. Ask him/her/it to reimagine something for you; they do that a lot, though not well. They can hear a dog whistle a mile or two away. They invented the spoils system and Tammany Hall, and inspired the addition of the word (Thomas) Nasty to the English language. They want to stop continental drift and repeal the law of unintended side effects... to recover lost ground as the Trump administration rolls back programs the party helped design, according to people close to him.
Biden privately met last month with the new Democratic National Committee chairman, Ken Martin, and offered to help as the party struggles to regain its viability amid polling that shows its popularity has been sinking, the people said.
So far, Biden's overture seems to have fallen flat. Democrats find themselves adrift, casting about for a compelling messenger.
Whoever that is, it's not Biden, many party activists and donors contend. He's tethered to the 2024 defeat and, at 82, is a symbol more of the party's past than its future, they argue.
''Who's going to want Joe Biden back in the game?'' said a major Biden supporter, speaking on condition of anonymity
... for fear of being murdered... to talk candidly about him.
A spokesperson for the DNC (If you're white you ain't right!) ...Democrat National Committee, where all those off-the-wall talking points originate... didn't provide a comment or make Martin available for an interview.
A new NBC News poll shows that the Democratic Party's popularity has dropped to a record low. Only 27% of registered voters said they held positive views of the party — the lowest figure in the network's polling dating to 1990.
Asked about the prospect of Biden re-entering the political sphere, President Donald Trump ...They hit him with slander, they impeached him twice. Nancy Pelosi tore up his State of the Union address on national TV. They stole an election and put his adherents in jail. They vilified him. They couldn't crucify him, so they shot him. Still, they can't keep him down... told news hounds in the Oval Office Friday, ''I hope so.''
Former first lady Jill Biden is also prepared to campaign and raise money for fellow Democrats as she and her husband settle into life back home in Delaware, a person close to her said.

I say let JB & Jill return.
I cannot think of a better example in demonstrating why the Voters should never vote for those type of Demo-Crap ever again.

The usual demokrat post-Presidency sinecures are all vaporware for the Grifters, and that lifestyle of the Obamas expectation for Jilly is nowhere to be seen. Wait until Hunter returns to hide inside the threadbare Delaware cocoon and the investigations start.
