Chicago (WLS) -- A flash mob at a South Side gas station drew hundreds of young people and a large police presence Tuesday night.
Video from the scene showed some people jumping on cars at the BP gas station near 31st Street and Michigan Avenue. (Snip) "It's embarrassing more than frustrating because there is now justifiable reason for it," a man who lives down the street from the gas station said. "We used to have a sense of pride. Now, we've got young people twerking in the middle of the street. Wilding out. Cursing. Running up and down, jumping on peoples' cars, doing all type of ridiculous things."

Federal agencies are secretly accumulating mountains of data that could be used for “blackmail, stalking, harassment and public shaming” of American citizens.
That allegation doesn’t come from a pink-haired civil-liberties fanatic — it’s in a new report for the nation’s chief spymaster, Avril Haines.
The Fourth Amendment recognized Americans’ right “to be secure . . . against unreasonable searches and seizures.”
But Washington is mothballing that lofty standard for a new motto: “Those who have nothing to hide have nothing to fear.”
The latest federal surveillance tsunami is being spurred by purchases of commercially available information (CAI) that private companies vacuum up from data from smartphones, computers and other digital devices and trackers.

The secretive “Area 51” Air Force test range in southern Nevada established in the 1950s helped the U.S. and USAF prevail in the Cold War. Former Navy Captain Jerry Hendrix argues establishing a similar “Area 52” within Lake Michigan for the U.S. Navy could help us prevail in years to come. (Snip) “Foreign adversaries showed up not only to observe the operations and learn what they could about the United States’ most cutting-edge naval capabilities,” Hendrix wrote in Proceedings, “but also seized one of those assets,” a reference to the Saildrone Explorer unmanned surface vessel seized by Iran in August, 2022.

Two years after the effective date, there are similar requirements on other residential buildings.
Gabel said the cost would be under $1,000 for the setup in these homes. However, state Rep. Dan Swanson, R-Alpha, said other costs are not accounted for. "It requires a 200 amp service," Swanson said. "That will require additional costs

One of Lia Thomas' former teammates at the University of Pennsylvania has slammed her alma mater for 'shutting down' any criticism of the pre-op 6-foot-1 biological male's presence on the school's female swimming team.
In a new interview with the Daily Wire's Matt Walsh, Paula Scanlan accused the university of wanting student athletes to 'be quiet' and said 'they did it in a very effective way'.
'They continued to tell us that our opinions were wrong and if we had an issue about it, we were the problem and it's frightening and your future job is on the line,' Scanlan said in her interview.

Just six weeks ago, Greg DeStefano began a new chemotherapy combination. The 50-year-old, from Northbrook, Illinois, had recently been diagnosed with his fourth round of cancer and doctors were hopeful the medication would treat the tumors growing in his neck.
DeStefano was responding well, but then, in late May, he got a call from his doctor and was told one of the three drugs he was receiving -- carboplatin -- was under a global shortage and because of the way the hospital had to prioritize treatments, he wouldn't be qualified to receive it anymore.(Snip) low profit margins for generic versions of these drugs as well as labor and supply chain issues.

Xu persuaded Harvard-trained Dr. Nche Zama, (Snip) “Health care is the most important thing on this planet and to lower the standards to satisfy a policy is unfair to the patient and to the doctor who may not have the level of confidence and ability he or she should have because of these policies. DEI has drowned out what real diversity should look like.”
