The Epoch Times: FBI Again Promises to Stop Unjustly Searching NSA Data on Americans
The FBI has been censured for searching NSA databases for information on Americans. A 2022 Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court opinion revealed the FBI had searched the database for information on hundreds of thousands of Americans without proper justification, with 18% of queries “non-compliant”. The NSA collects much of this data under permissive rules in which Americans are not afforded constitutional protections, and small changes have been implemented to address the problem, though legislators have called for an overhaul of the system.

Prosecutors offered Hunter a plea deal that would result in his release from prison with a sentence of time served. No decision was made about Hunter's release on bond during the hearing.

Forbes: 5 Things I Truly Don’t Understand About The “Inevitable Energy Transition”
The article discusses the inconsistencies of climate change policies in the US. Despite claims of relying on weather-dependent resources like wind and solar plants to displace traditional energy sources, they are proving to be more supplemental than alternative. Additionally, common sense and science indicate that unilateral climate policy can result in carbon leakage and be really bad for climate change. Furthermore, the obsession over air quality, a common point promoting environmental policies, appears to be exaggerated, with the US's criteria pollutants plummeting over the past several decades. The article argues that, at some point, the cost of regulation outweighs the benefit and pivots the conversation to focus on economic justice instead of endlessly pursuing abstract benefits.
