Dozens of driverless trucks are hitting the road as industries rush toward automation. PepsiCo is partnering with autonomous vehicle startup Gatik to rollout a fleet of 35 driverless trucks, Wall Street Journal reported Monday. It’s reportedly the first time a U.S. company disclosed using autonomous trucks on public highways. The 26,000-pound vehicle featured by WSJ is one of many driverless trucks designed by Gatik with embedded cameras, radar, and lidar technology. The startup secured $600 million in revenue through multiyear contacts with multiple companies, according to WSJ. “These operations that we’re running today are real,”

What's worse, non skilled foreign drivers or remote controlled trucks on the road? Better call those ambulance chasers all over the telly.

There are too many unknown factors on the road. Things you can't even think of to prepare for. There is no way to program a vehicle and put it on a highway and think all will be well. It will be a catastrophic mess.

US Attorney for California Bill Essayli has attempted to undertake an investigation of California's allegedly fraudulent voting process, saying that "protecting the integrity of California's elections is a top priority for my office." However, he said that California is now blocking a federal audit of its voter rolls. This is a state that "allows first-time voters to register" to vote using gym membership cards, employer ID cards, credit or debit cards, prescription drug labels, and insurance cards in a state that allows illegal immigrants to get state-funded insurance. None of these identification methods shows a social security number or proof of US citizenship.

Former Border Patrol Commander at Large under Trump, Gregory Bovino, confirmed on Monday that he is exploring a presidential bid in 2028, running on a platform of deporting over 100 million illegal aliens from the interior of the country. Bovino resigned as Border Patrol Chief in March after he was pulled out of Minneapolis, following the fatal officer-involved shootings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti. The Trump Administration further withdrew hundreds of agents from Minneapolis and dampened immigration operations amid public outcry and violent riots from a small minority of the country. He has been a vocal critic of the Trump Administration’s immigration enforcement tactics,

The "independent" candidate for Senate in deep-red Nebraska who says he rejects "partisans," Dan Osborn, owes his political rise to a pair of Ivy League-educated socialist operatives who also recruited self-described "communist" Graham Platner and "Squad" member Summer Lee to run for office. The operatives, Daniel Moraff and Leanne Fan, are best known for plucking the scandal-plagued Platner from obscurity and coaxing him into running for Senate. But Platner was not the engaged couple's first go at a Senate seat. The pair told the Wall Street Journal over the weekend that they also recruited Osborn to run against Republican incumbent Deb Fischer in 2024. Osborn, who had no Democratic challenger

Republican Texas Rep. Chip Roy introduced legislation Monday to make President Donald Trump’s border policies permanent, the Daily Caller learned. The Permanent Trump Secure Border Act would codify the Trump administration’s immigration policies on asylum and border security and is modeled after the border package House Republicans passed last Congress, according to bill text obtained by the Caller. Roy is also looking to couple these reforms with the Republicans’ second attempt at a reconciliation bill to prevent Democrats from reversing Trump’s policies in the future. “President Trump’s most successful border security policies remain vulnerable because Congress has failed to codify them into law,”

When the Supreme Court struck down President Trump's tariffs last February, the president lashed out against two Supreme Court Justices he nominated calling them fools and lapdogs. The president has frequently railed against judges when they rule against him. What often happens next is a barrage of violent threats from his followers against those judges. As we first reported in March, we spoke with 26 federal judges – nine Democratic appointees, 17 Republican, both sitting and retired. The sitting judges told us they feel under siege. Most would not appear on camera, fearful for their safety.

The fraud in the H1-B visa program is even worse than we thought. We are getting people with fake degrees for these allegedly “high-skilled” labor jobs. The program is almost completely fraudulent. Since 2015, over 70% of H-1B visas have been issued to India, and nearly 12% to China. And if you look at this map, you can see where most are being hired. The dark red spots indicate a high concentration of H-1B visa holders, and now we’re learning more about fraud within the program. One former official tells Newsweek that up to 90% of applications, 90% from India, contain fraudulent documents or involve unqualified applicants.

There's an update on our Salem colleague Dennis Prager, and while details are scant, I reckon our readers would want to know what's out there even if it is still unconfirmed reporting at this hour. According to a new report released on Friday. ChurchLeaders editor Jesse T. Jackson wrote: Well-known conservative radio host Dennis Prager, 77, founder of the conservative educational media platform PragerU, is reportedly currently hospitalized with pneumonia and blood clots in his lungs. ChurchLeaders was informed of Prager’s most recent hospitalization through a credible source who was granted anonymity to discuss the matter.

Donald Trump slammed Barack Obama's new $850 million presidential library, with a photoshopped prediction that it would be surrounded by homeless camps within ten years. A 'giant trash can' is just one of the unflattering comparisons the new center has been called ahead of its opening on the South Side of Chicago on June 19. And Trump weighed in by posting a photo of the library with a garbage bag on top and homeless encampments surrounding it to Truth Social on Saturday. Trump wrote over the AI-generated image: 'The Barack Hussein Obama Library, in 10 years, when fully matured!'

Jan. 3, 2027 will be a historic day. Barring some unforeseeable circumstance, when the fateful day comes around, Hisham “Adam” Hamawy will become the first member of the United States House of Representatives to have worked for a group linked to al-Qaeda, and to have served as a defense witness for a jihad terror leader. The way the Democrat Party is going, he likely won’t be the last. And so America must face the reality: the enemies are well inside the gates, and inside the corridors of power as well. The conquest is well underway. Hamawy knows how to play the game.

Half a century after Steven Spielberg challenged audiences to think about what lies beyond the starry canopy that defines our universe in Close Encounters of the Third Kind, the director is again challenging accepted precepts of faith and singular belief in a supreme being. His new film Disclosure Day sees him revisit the possibility of aliens: “I absolutely think that they have been here, and they are here,” he outlined in an interview with CBS News. First he outlined the themes behind the $115 million creation and the answers it (possibly) posed to questions of life, faith and mortality.

Election Day returns indicated that Spencer Pratt had easily secured the second position in the Los Angeles Mayor race, and would face incumbent Karen Bass in the general election. But ballots have continued to come in and be counted, and a remarkable number of those ballots have been for the initial third-place candidate, Nithya Raman. So it looks like the runoff election will be between two far-left candidates, and Los Angeles will continue to go downhill. Conservatives generally assume that the fix was in, and Raman’s renaissance is due wholly or in part to voter fraud. Are they right?

Los Angeles City Councilmember Nithya Raman has overtaken former reality TV personality Spencer Pratt for the second spot in the Los Angeles mayoral runoff, according to updated vote totals released Sunday by the LA County Registrar-Recorder. Raman, a progressive Democrat representing the city’s 4th Council District, now holds 27.12% of the counted ballots. Pratt, a registered Republican who ran on a law-and-order platform, sits at 26.69%. The gap stands at 3,113 votes. Decision Desk HQ projected Sunday that Raman had secured the second of two spots in the nonpartisan primary, which advances the top two finishers to the November 3 general election
Afflicted With TDS, Four Senators Kill
Election Integrity

Last Thursday, even as California’s chaotic primaries demonstrated the need for a nationwide election integrity law, Sens. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), Susan Collins (R-Maine), and Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) voted to kill the SAVE America Act. This would be understandable if the bill were unpopular with the electorate. But its requirement that voters in every state must provide proof of citizenship before registering to vote and produce a photo ID when casting a ballot are wildly popular among Republicans and Democrats. Yet, because its passage is one of President Trump’s top priorities, TDS forced them to ignore his agenda.

LA Mayoral Candidate Spencer Pratt has dropped to third place and will not make the runoff. Leftist city council member Nithya Raman, who previously conceded defeat, has now leaped into second place after winning approximately 40% of all mail-in ballots received in the past few days. A stunning, remarkable, incredible and some say unbelievable outcome. There are still several days of ballot counting ahead. After all, the creation of ballots takes time and resources, and as noted by several people in/around the LA area, locally sourced, artisanal ballots can take much longer to be grown and curated. (snip). Remarkable.

Israel conducted strikes on military targets in western and central Iran early Monday local time, the Israeli military announced, escalating a conflict that had already broken through the ceasefire just hours earlier when Iran fired multiple waves of missiles at Israel on Sunday. The strikes came despite a direct phone call from President Trump to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, urging him not to retaliate immediately for the Iranian missile attack. A senior U.S. official told the Associated Press, on condition of anonymity to describe a private call, that Trump believed he had convinced Netanyahu to wait. Israel struck anyway.

As the U.S.-Iran conflict continues to unfold amid ongoing talks and threats of further possible military action, the national online I&I/TIPP Poll asked 1,589 voters several questions about Iran. The survey, taken from May 26 to May 28, has a margin of error of +/- 2.7 percentage points. The first question: “How much of a threat do you believe Iran poses to stability in the
