Flock camera pings the wrong Durango, and 23 year-old woman spends 13 days in jail for a crash she didn’t cause. Lindsey Brooke Isaacs was 23, asleep in her Palm Coast apartment, when Florida Highway Patrol troopers pounded on the door. They told her her black Dodge Durango had killed three people on I-4 near DeBary on October 4, 2025. A motorcyclist and Flagler County official Jorge Salinas and his wife. She said they had the wrong person. Her SUV was almost new. No crash damage. She asked them to show her the damage. They wouldn’t let her look. They towed the car anyway. What they had was a Flock automated license plate reader hit. A camera three miles west of the wreck logged her plate at 9:51 p.m. The crash was around 9:53. That timing should have cleared her, as she was already past the scene. Instead, it became the case. Witnesses and a 911 caller described a maroon Durango and a partial plate starting 458. Struck vehicles had maroon paint. Isaacs’ plate was RJVN10. Her Durango was black. Investigators searched Flock for a black Durango anyway, locked onto the first one they found, and ran with it. They alleged “marks consistent with a collision.” Photos of the car in the impound lot later showed no such damage. They never pulled the event data recorder that would have shown no collision. They omitted the maroon description and the timing from the story that put her in handcuffs. April 17, 2026: arrest warrant. Eight felonies, including three counts of vehicular homicide. Held without bond. Thirteen days in Volusia County Jail, including solitary, she later told the Senate, in a cell with feces on the walls. Facing what she was told could be life. April 29: $250,000 bond. May 22: prosecutors drop every charge. Same day, they arrest Alisa Lee Montalvo of Deltona who owned a maroon Durango, plate beginning 458, damage that actually matches. Isaacs is suing the two FHP sergeants who built the case. This week she testified in the U.S. Senate about Flock’s nationwide ALPR network.

How to win during the AI boom without touching a single line of code: 1. Learn a trade. HVAC, electrical, plumbing, appliance repair, building maintenance. Nobody has figured out how to automate a burst pipe at 2am on a Sunday and they are not going to. 2. Get certified faster than you think is possible. 100% online, VR simulations, finished in months. The market has 500,000 open positions right now and is actively recruiting anyone with a certification and a willingness to show up. 3. Work under someone who already built what you want to build. Three to five years inside a well run operation is worth more than any business school course ever offered you. 4. Do the human things AI will never replace. Show up on time. Remember the customer's name. Leave the job site cleaner than you found it. The bar for standing out in the trades has genuinely never been lower. 5. Get into rooms with people already doing it. One conversation with the right trades business owner will move you faster than six months of watching YouTube videos about entrepreneurship. The AI boom did not close the door on the trades. It blew it wide open. Click the link in my bio or comment TRADES below and I will teach you how to get started.

When Roland Fryer sought to improve 20 struggling Houston schools, he implemented five practices: more instructional time, high-dosage tutoring, frequent teacher feedback, data-driven instruction and a culture of high expectations. The results were extraordinary. In math, elementary students gained four additional months of learning each year; secondary students gained nearly eight months in a nine-month school year. Every graduating senior in the high schools was admitted to a two- or four-year college. Roland Fryer writes about Nikole Hannah-Jones, school choice, and the real way to turn struggling schools around in @WSJ: wsj.com/opinion/the-educatio…

I always thought this was common knowledge among men... Then I remembered that the current younger fellers out there only know keyboards & video games.

DESPERATION MODE ACTIVATED. DEL MONTE LOOKING FOR TRUCKS ON LINKEDIN. I guess brokers couldn’t deliver the cheap capacity. 🤣

Reminder: US schools serving low-income and non-white communities get more money per pupil not less and have for a long time

The Boston Globe has just published a shockingly sober article about the nonexistent genocide supposedly targeting the transgender community. In it, they cite a report I coauthored showing that the murder rate is actually lower for trans-identifying people than the general population. Our report was responding to the HRC's annual reports pushing the narrative that there is an ongoing "Epidemic of Violence" against the transgender community. The reporter says he "offered the Human Rights Campaign's key researcher, the transgender woman Charleigh Flohr, or anyone else with the organization an opportunity to rebut the Manhattan Institute finding, but they didn't reply to me." That's unsurprising because the HRC is engaging in fundraising propaganda. They don't care about the truth, only promoting the narrative. Our report presenting the actual data is irrefutable. That's why they have nothing to say in response.

Second WORST Baltimore City Schools is named the SECOND WORST school district in America in Daily Rank Dept.’s “50 Worst” report. The ranking compares academic performance, graduation rates, college readiness. Baltimore schools get $24,705 per student. The MOST in Maryland.

Here is a pretty good alternative to factory TPMS (Tire pressure monitoring system) The sensors screws right onto your valve stems and the solar powered display sits on top of your vehicles dash. It the whole package only cost between $50 and $75 on Amazon. It displays tire air pressure and tire temperature also, and has a low tire alarm. I installed this unit on my older Acura which did not have TPMS and I have been happy with it for over a year now. But a person could also install this on vehicles that have bad wheel sensors and be a lot cheaper and easier way to go. Only downside so far is, that I have had to replace the batteries once already, but its easy and cheap to do. Just a thought for a possible cheaper alternative to factory TPMS sensors.

Una niña de 12 años fue violada por 19 refugiados musulmanes en un aparcamiento cerca de la estación central de Viena, Austria. El año pasado, el primero en ser juzgado —un ciudadano sirio de 17 años— fue absuelto a pesar de haber confesado previamente. El tribunal dictaminó que no había pruebas que demostraran que la niña no había dado su consentimiento. Él le entregó a la niña 100 euros como «gesto de buena voluntad» y se burló de ella al salir de la sala del tribunal. Estos casos son más frecuentes de lo que se piensa. @realMaalouf

A landmark Finnish study has found a sharp rise in psychiatric illness among adolescents following sex-alteration procedures. The peer-reviewed study, published in Acta Paediatrica, tracked every young person under 23 who contacted Finland's gender clinics between 1996 and 2019. A total 2,083 individuals were studied, with 16,643 matched controls. They were followed for up to 25 years. Finland's health registers are mandatory, which means no one opts out — this is the complete national picture. The numbers: psychiatric morbidity rose from 9.8% to 60.7% in adolescents who underwent feminising reassignment, and from 21.6% to 54.5% in masculinising reassignment. Even after adjusting for prior psychiatric history, gender-referred adolescents faced five times the risk of male population controls, and three times the risk of female controls. "Psychiatric needs do not subside after medical gender reassignment," the authors concluded. Referrals after 2010 arrived sicker. 47.9% had already needed psychiatric treatment before their first clinic visit, against 15.3% among controls. The authors' read: for some adolescents, gender distress may be secondary to other mental health challenges. The evidence keeps mounting. The silencing continues anyway. How many more adolescents will be told this is "care"?

A Nova Scotia woman had precancerous cells on her cervix. That was two years ago. Pap smear. Abnormal cells. Referral to a gynecologist so they could find out if it was cancer. The referral sat for nine months. She finally gets an appointment. She shows up on time — 10 a.m., in her calendar. The office says it was at 9. Won’t see her. Won’t reschedule. Start over. New referral. She leaves crying. Seven more months go by. They call about an appointment she was never told about. She can’t take it. She’s on a TV contract. Miss it and they can sue her. Next opening: next year. They don’t even call her back. She has to chase them. She said the quiet part out loud: imagine dying of cervical cancer while you wait just to see a gyno. That is Canada’s “universal healthcare.” Not free care. A government monopoly that loses your referral, punishes you for their scheduling error, and hands a possible cancer case a calendar date in another year. Coverage on paper. Care on a waitlist. You pay the taxes either way. The state decides when you’re allowed to find out if you have cancer. This is the model they want to import as Medicare for All. Don’t.

Colorado wants you to buy an annual permit before you can sell a photograph of an elk. $35 a year, and it reaches any wildlife, any insect, even a butterfly in your backyard. Photograph a barn, sell it, fine. Photograph an elk, sell it, and now you owe the state a fee and its permission. That's pricing a picture by what's in it, and it's the kind of speech tax courts strike down. The twist: a career wildlife official filed it, and in Colorado a citizen petition isn't a suggestion box. This same commission ran a fur-ban petition right over its own director in March.

White Inmate Starved, Dehydrated to Death Under Black Jail Director I know this one sounds bad already, but believe me, it gets much, much worse. Gary Blair, a 43-year-old White man, died on July 24, 2026 at the Chesterfield County Detention Center in South Carolina. He was murdered. Not by other prisoners, but by the facility's anti-White administration, led by Black jail director Troy Ellerbe. Gary Blair was placed in the jail's lockdown unit and held in a cell with inches-deep feces on the floor. He was provided no mattress or blankets. Water to the cell's sink was cut off. Neighboring inmates would pass him small amounts of water when they could. He was not allowed out of his cell. While he was still alive, Gary wrote letters to his family complaining about the deplorable conditions he faced. He detailed the lack of food and water. No showers. Forced to drink soiled toilet water. He described staff as “very nasty to White inmates.” He pinpointed aforementioned Black jail director Troy Ellerbe, and said former Sheriff James Dixon (Chesterfield County's first Black sheriff) brought about the anti-White culture that still ran rampant in the jail. “No help for a White man,” wrote Gary. “Luckily, there's one White chick left,” he said, referring to a female guard who worked evening shifts. “She finally made sure I got a shower after fourteen days.” Family said that Gary had been denied contact with them - no calls, no visits - for months prior to his death. He entered the jail at 300 pounds. 152 days later, he was found dead, naked on the feces-covered floor of his cell, starved and dehydrated, weighing 185 pounds. Gary's death was determined to be “homicide caused by profound dehydration due to deprivation of water.” At this point, you might be wondering just what type of horrible criminal Gary Blair was. Well, he wasn't. Gary Blair was being held as a PRE-TRIAL DETAINEE on a MISDEMEANOR charge. Gary wasn't even supposed to be at the Chesterfield County Detention Center, but at a mental health restoration facility. He was arrested for “impersonating an officer” during a “mental health episode” after a medication change. He didn't actually DO much of anything, insofar as “impersonating an officer.” He dressed up in a police outfit and waved at a deputy who was passing by. That deputy arrested him. Gary had been given the “Sheriff” shirt as a gift from the sheriff he campaigned for back in 2011. By all accounts, Gary - known as “Bubba” - was an affable, non-threatening guy who had long suffered from his mental health issues. Gary appears to have no prior criminal history. Despite this, and despite the penalty for this misdemeanor being “a fine of not more than $500 or imprisonment of not more than one year,” Gary was inexplicably given a $35,000 bond - exorbitantly higher than comparable cases. The bond wouldn't ultimately matter, though. Once Gary was declared incompetent, he couldn't be released. But that's when he was supposed to enter a mental health facility - not be held and tortured indefinitely at the anti-White county jail. But that never happened. Gary Blair did remain indefinitely at the anti-White county jail. And that's where he was isolated, starved, dehydrated, and tortured to death over the course of 152 days. The Black jail director who oversaw those circumstances, Troy Ellerbe, has been fired. So far, no charges have been filed in Gary Blair's homicide. The number of national news stories about Gary's murder? Zero. JUST LIKE if a non-violent Black man with no criminal history and longstanding mental health issues had been tortured and starved to death by a malicious, anti-Black jail hierarchy, all while being held in a facility he wasn't supposed to be in, all for a pre-trial misdemeanor. Right?

Absolutely, make a fire-roasted salsa roja: Broil or cook in a skillet until deeply charred: 6 Roma tomatoes 2 jalapeños 1 serrano ½ white onion 4 unpeeled garlic cloves Turn everything so it blisters and blackens on multiple sides. Peel the garlic, then pulse it all in a blender with a handful of cilantro, juice of 1 lime (you can zest too) and plenty of salt. Keep it slightly chunky, don’t purée it. Secret weapon - briefly toast 2 dried árbol chiles in a dry pan and blend them in. Let the salsa rest overnight so the smoky, roasted flavors come together. Good luck!

A new peer-reviewed study shows Brazil's sea level was over two meters higher 6,000 years ago. The evidence comes from vermetid gastropods, sea snails that only survive within a narrow tidal height and water temperature range. In this study, fossil vermetids from that period are found hundreds of kilometers south of their modern living range. Because these species cannot tolerate colder water, their southern presence indicates sea surface temperatures were 3 to 4 C warmer than today. No fossil fuels. No industrial CO2. Higher seas and warmer oceans occurred naturally just 6,000 years ago.
