The Federal Bureau of Investigation has provided details of how Lukman Owalabi, Ganiyu, a Nigerian-American and former senior officer at U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, allegedly made over a million dollars from desperate immigration applicants by bypassing rigorous background checks, required interviews, and supervisory reviews to obtain permanent residency and citizenship.

Canadians are using ‘elbows up’ to hit back at US tariffs. Here’s what it means
- Canadians are using the phrase “Elbows up” to encourage each other to stand up to the United States.
- The phrase originates from hockey legend Gordie Howe, known for his toughness and use of elbows on the ice.
Canadian Prime Minster Carney is using the hockey phrase, ‘Elbows up’, to strengthen national resolve against the United States. Canada owns hockey, so they can rally around that.
Pathetic.

Canada, just stop.
I don’t even read books, and noticed this immediately. You have to get the spelling right, especially if the post is about smart people and it’s in the heading.
To be fair:
- Melania didn’t post this herself, one of her PR flunkies did.
- Melania does speak a half-dozen languages, so she might not be so good on the details.
- Spellcheck should have caught this, but those programs aren’t perfect. Mine doesn’t think that ‘film’ is a word.
Push to rename Nashville airport for Dolly Parton gets a boost from Tennessee’s governor
Renaming Lake Ontario to Lake America is uninspired, but this is a great idea.
I am qualified to judge because I usually come up with good names. Sparky is a great name for my little piglet, and my one-handed sledgehammer is ‘pocket Hercules’. I have names that made it into corporate literature, but let’s stay focused on Nashville International Airport.
Commentators haven’t yet explored why this is such a good idea.
Sparky was excited to tell me that President Trump just changed the name of Lake Ontario to Lake America.
Sorry to dampen Sparky’s enthusiasm, but that was a dumb idea.
Women in pink rally in support of Lindsay Clancy who is on trial for killing 3 children
Who are these people?
Hundreds of Lindsay Clancy supporters, many wearing pink with the words “Believe,” “She Needed Help” and “Peace For Lindsay,” gathered Thursday outside the courthouse where she is on trial in the killings of her three children.
I don’t usually follow high-profile murder cases. It’s none of my business, I don’t know anyone involved. To my knowledge, I’ve only known one murderer.
Backlash to data centers could cost GOP a Senate seat in Ohio, Republicans warn
Senate Republicans are sounding the alarm on data centers — and warning that backlash to the divisive topic could hurt GOP chances of defending Sen. John Husted’s seat in November.
I shouldn’t have to do all the work, but Republicans seem stumped by data centers. Here’s how you do it.
FAA close to hitting air traffic controller hiring goal — after targeting gamers
Secretary of Transportation, Sean Duffy, implemented the clever idea to target video gamers as potential air traffic controllers.
Hardcore gamers have “demonstrated high cognitive functions,” like multitasking, spatial awareness and problem-solving skills, the FAA said when it launched the campaign in April.
In four months, the FAA has hit 94% of it’s recruitment goal. The candidates have to complete rigorous training, and there will almost certainly be more men than women. Diversity was not a criteria.
Two years ago, I posted about Pete Buttigieg’s DEI policies for the FAA.
A priority for the FAA was to hire people with severe intellectual disabilities or psychiatric disabilities. Keep this in mind as Democrats like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez tell us not to think about Woke, and look to what they are promising now.
This ‘Charlie-Foxtrot’ has been allowed to exist in Madison for a couple of weeks. Police aren’t allowed in and the fire department has to waste time going around it. This chaos is a pain in the ass for everyone who lives or works in the area.
The mayor has finally decided to tear it down.
A better response is to never let it get established, and to make it clear to the insurrectionists and garbage people that seizing territory is not a legitimate way to protest.
The Rise and Fall of Anthony Fauci
I’m seeing many articles like this one talking about Dr. Fauci’s senate testimony. At the same time, many people weren’t even aware that it happened. That’s just as well because Fauci pleaded the 5th Amendment a hundred and eleven times.
None of the articles mention Dave Chappelle’s relevant contribution:
