Check this Orwellian bullshit coming out from the New Castle, PA police department

NEW CASTLE POLICE CAMERA REGISTRY Program
New Castle Police are asking residents, business owners and renters to sign up and register their security cameras in an effort to fight crime.

Lt. Steven Brooks told me the program is a faster way for officers to know where to look during an investigation. And if a resident or business registers, police request video when needed.

The resident or business owner can then choose whether to provide the video.

Lt. Brooks points out the department cannot access cameras in real time.

Police need camera owners to provide a physical copy of the video or allow police to access it after the fact.

Your information will be kept confidential and only accessed by authorized personnel Brooks said.

"We will go to their residence if they are not home," Lt. Steven Brooks. "Hopefully, they left a phone number or email address we can contact them that way if need be."

Are they serious? How can we trust the NCPD that our information will be kept safe? How can we trust that they won't charge us with "inhibiting an investigation" if we don't turn over upon demand? How can we believe that they will respect our property rights when they, as the spox said, "will go to their home if they are not home."

What kind of 1984 police state bullshit is this?

WADA to weigh barring Trump, US officials from LA Olympics and possibly World Cup over unpaid dues

Source: AP

The World Anti-Doping Agency is considering rewriting its rules to try barring President Donald Trump and all U.S. government officials from attending the LA Olympics in 2028 in a move that could also have implications for the World Cup being hosted by the U.S. this summer.

The proposal, on the agenda for next Tuesday's meeting of the global drug-fighting watchdog's executive committee, is the latest maneuver to come out of a yearslong refusal of the U.S. government to pay its annual dues to WADA. The refusal is part of the American government's unanimous, bipartisan protest of the agency's handling of a case involving Chinese swimmers and other issues.

The Associated Press learned of the agenda item through correspondence it obtained between WADA and European officials involved in the agency's decision-making. Two others with knowledge of the agenda confirmed the existence of the rules proposal to AP; they were not authorized to speak publicly about the agenda, which has not been released publicly.

WADA spokesman James Fitzgerald said “there is nothing new here,” noting that discussions related to the issue of what to do about governments withholding funding have been ongoing since 2020 and aren't directly related to the U.S.

Banning him over starting wars = no problem.
Not paying dues = BANNED!

This is good, but for the wrong reasons.

Gordon Lightfoot wrote a song that in one line describes MAGAt relationship to the Dickhead

Gordon Lightfoot wrote and performed a song called "Race Among the Ruins." The last line of the third verse describes the MAGAt relationship with their orange god-king.

"Just think about the fool who by his virtue can be found in the most unusual situation playing jester to the clown."

Think about it.

Puka Nacua apologizes after promising he would do an antisemitic touchdown celebration: 'I had no idea'

Los Angeles Rams star Puka Nacua apologized Thursday after he agreed to perform an antisemitic touchdown celebration during an appearance on a live stream.

Nacua issued a statement, saying he was unaware the celebration contained an antisemitic gesture.

Nacua appeared Tuesday on a livestream hosted by Adin Ross. During the stream, Ross had Nacua mimic the celebration and then encouraged Nacua to perform the dance during an NFL game after he scored a touchdown. Nacua agreed, saying, "Yeah, that's easy."

The celebration involved Nacua spiking the ball, flexing and then performing a gesture that references an antisemitic caricature of a Jewish person shared on social media websites, including 4chan.

Video of Nacua performing the celebration began circulating on social media, where California congressman Eric Swalwell demanded an apology from the Rams star on X.

Leonard Peltier Is Finally (Mostly) Free And Has A Lot To Say

BELCOURT, N.D. — After living in a windowless, concrete box for nearly 50 years, Leonard Peltier is discovering the little joys that come with being in a two-bedroom house of his own.

He can see the sun. He has a refrigerator, and a TV with more channels than he can count. He has his now-cherished recliner, the fancy kind that lays you all the way back and, with some navigating on a remote control, pushes you up and right out of the seat. It’s where Peltier, who just turned 81, is content to spend most of his days, nestled in with a fleece blanket as a home health aide brings him rounds of coffee.

“Trying to look for another word, but I can’t find any, so I’ll go with the same one: awesome,” said Peltier, a term he used repeatedly to describe his life over the past seven months.

ICE arrests superintendent of Iowa's largest school district

Source: CNN

The superintendent of Des Moines Public Schools — Iowa’s largest school district – was detained Friday morning by immigration agents, according to the Department of Homeland Security, which said the educator was in the country illegally and had existing weapon possession charges.

Superintendent Ian Roberts – an educator with decades of experience who previously competed as an Olympic athlete for Guyana – was arrested as part of a “targeted enforcement operation” and fled after US Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers approached him, according to statements from DHS and the Iowa Department of Public Safety.

DHS said he was “in possession of a loaded handgun, $3,000 in cash and a fixed blade hunting knife” at the time of his arrest. It’s a violation of federal law to own a firearm and ammunition if an individual doesn’t have legal status in the US.

CNN is working to identify Roberts’ attorney.
