“In a major policy shift, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents are being instructed to end “most” vehicle stops nationwide, effective immediately.
According to multiple federal sources, ICE agents will cease making traffic stops, which have played a significant role in the agency’s operations till now. A federal source told Fox News that ICE will continue conducting vehicle stops only for those considered to be the most egregious targets with serious or violent criminal histories.
This comes after two people were killed in ICE officer-involved shootings in Maine and Texas last week.”

Due to European military dependence on the US, Europe has been deferential to the US. They let the US use their land and facilities even for wars they disagreed with.
Defending Europe is not a driver of US spending. Europe spending more is good, but it won’t make the defense of the US and its interests cheaper. If the relationship is too damaged, it will make it more expensive.

Schools in China can no longer teach primarily in an ethnic language. Mandarin must be the primary language in all schools. China is more generally cracking down on ethnic minorities in its ethnic unity law.
China is a colonial empire that has conquered its land by force, and it is stepping up its forced assimilation of its formerly conquered peoples.

When Morocco lost in the World Cup, some Moroccans committed violence and property destruction in European cities and chanted anti-semitic chants. In Morocco itself, Moroccans celebrated how well they did in the World Cup despite losing. Why does Europe allow this to happen in its own cities?

Trump has a long history of defending accused sex predators. He doesn’t just defend them in an innocent until proven guilty sort of way, but says people should vote for them* and insults the accusers. He vigorously defends the accused as if he knows they must be innocent.
*if they were running for office.

Green energy technology got better faster than most people expected. All new energy demand is now being met by growth in renewables.
However, the damage of climate change appears to be bad.
We would have been even further ahead in renewables if Reagen hadn’t ripped up Carter’s green energy investments.
China is the world’s biggest driver of electric tech. In 2025, in China and India, fossil fuel generation fell.

Trump’s overzealous anti-DEI push in the military that has led to the canceling of promotions of mostly nonwhite straight males, may be hurting the military by decreasing the number of quality nonwhite straight males who want to serve in the military, as well as hurting their morale.
