Global energy think tank doesn't see the case for a new west coast pipeline.

Does Canada really need Alberta’s new $43-billion pipeline? This analysis says it’s a massive risk
A global energy think tank suggests a global energy transition away from oil is likely to drive down prices and undermine the West Coast pipeline idea.

Trump was impeached in 2019 for attempting to extort Zelensky. After taking office the second time, he sent Scott Bessent (nephew of Rep. John Jenrette who was imprisoned after the FBI's Abscam sting) to do it again.

Below is a video thumbnail showing a crowd gathered outdoors along a fenced walkway; many people wear bright blue or red outerwear, and some hold signs.

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional! ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.
The Gravamen of the Disclosure

4. The gravamen of the disclosure is as follows: 
a. By memorandum dated May 12, 2025 (“the May 12 Memo”), Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons authorizes ICE agents to forcibly enter into certain people’s homes without a judicial warrant, consent, or an emergency.

b. Specifically, in the May 12 Memo, the Acting ICE Director authorized ICE Agents to rely on Form I-205 (which is not a judicial warrant) to enter the residence of an alien subject to a final order of deportation, without consent, including by “a necessary and reasonable amount of force.”2c. While addressed to “All ICE Personnel,” in practice the May 12 Memo has not been formally distributed to all personnel. Instead, the May 12 Memo has been provided to select DHS officials who are then directed to verbally brief the new policy for action. Those supervisors then show the Memo to some employees, like our clients, and direct them to read the Memo and return it to the supervisor.

You can either deny reality or fix it, Trump is a reflection of your country as it has always been. It's not enough to reject or oust his regime, but also, have a serious reflection as a nation of how you actually got here, allowed corruption & impunity to exist openly for so long, and change it.

Any device with Bluetooth can be vulnerable, but risk is highest for devices that are old, unpatched, or always-on. Main factors that increase vulnerability are no security updates, older Bluetooth stacks, discoverable mode left on, and weak/legacy pairing methods.
Smartphones & tablets (especially older Android/iOS versions that no longer receive security updates)

Laptops & desktops (Windows/macOS/Linux with outdated Bluetooth drivers/OS patches)

Bluetooth headphones/earbuds & speakers (some models have weak pairing/authentication or firmware issues)

Smartwatches & fitness trackers

Cars / infotainment systems (hands-free units, older head units)

IoT devices (smart locks, bulbs, sensors, medical/industrial devices—often rarely updated)

BLE trackers & beacons (AirTag-like devices, proximity tags)
