At least one student has tested positive for lead poisoning after exposure at Golda Meir School Lower Campus. Lead hazards were widespread in the building, found on the ground in the boy's bathroom, cafeteria, a hallway, the teacher's lounge, kitchen areas and multiple rooms. Three other students at Trowbridge Street School of Great Lakes Studies, Maryland Avenue Montessori and Albert E. Kagel Dual Language School may have been lead-poisoned due to lead hazards from chipping lead-based paint and lead dust. Trowbridge Street School of Great Lakes Studies became the first MPS building to close due to its high lead levels, followed by Starms Early Childhood Center, Fernwood Montessori, and Lafollette School. read more
Another federal judge has blocked enforcement of Trumpf's order banning transgender people from serving in the military, the second nationwide injunction against the policy in as many weeks. The order from US District Judge Benjamin Settle in Tacoma came in a case brought by several long-serving transgender military members who say the ban is insulting and discriminatory, and that their firing would cause lasting damage to their careers and reputations. "The government's unrelenting reliance on deference to military judgment is unjustified in the absence of any evidence supporting the military's' new judgment reflected in the Military Ban." Lieutenant Colonel Bree Fram was the highest ranking transgender officer in the Department of Defense in 2021 (pictured below). read more
Police identified and charged Ilya Kukhar (26) for impersonating an immigration agent, after allegedly stalking a Ukrainian market with fake "ICE" decals on his car in Fife, Washington. Kukhar, who is "not employed by any federal law enforcement agency," has been charged with one count of Criminal Impersonation in the Second Degree.
He is currently not in police custody and his initial arraignment is scheduled for 11 Apr. As if things weren't bad enough with ICE raids, this lunatic was stalking Ukrainians. read more
China has developed a compact deep-sea device capable of cutting armored undersea cables at depths of 4,000 meters -- twice the operational depth of existing subsea communication infrastructure. The tool, featuring a 150-mm diamond-coated grinding wheel spinning at 1,600 rpm, was designed for integration with China's advanced submersibles. The development has raised concerns over the security of global undersea infrastructure, as such cables carry 95% of global data transmission and support critical military and civilian operations. Beijing has already cut cables to Taiwan and is constructing large 'D-Day' type amphibious landing craft. read more
AFRICOM informs: "In coordination with the Federal Government of Somalia, US Africa Command (AFRICOM) conducted multiple airstrikes against ISIS-Somalia on 25 Mar 2025. The airstrikes occurred in the vicinity of the Golis Mountains, Somalia. AFRICOM's initial assessment is that multiple ISIS-Somalia operatives were killed and no civilians were harmed. ISIS-Somalia has proved both its will and capability to attack US and partner forces. This group's malicious efforts threaten US security interests. USAFRICOM, alongside the Federal Government of Somalia and Somali Armed Forces, continues to take action to degrade ISIS-Somalia's ability to plan and conduct attacks that threaten the US homeland, our forces, and our civilians abroad. Specific details about the operation will not be released to ensure continued operations security." read more

Good for Canadians. Methinks tourism to Germany slowed down to a trickle after 1933 (except for Fascists from Italy).

For people living in America, the oligarchs have exploited them and diminished their quality of life. People residing in the socialist democracies of Europe (like Germany or Norway) with strict gun control laws, inexpensive or free colleges, living wages, and universal healthcare have less chance of being murdered by a firearm or face a medical bankruptcy, enjoying a higher quality of life than most Americans. The US is ranked 24 on the World Happiness Report (2025 World Happiness Report).
On a personal note, I know an individual who enjoys the strict gun control laws of Canada and their socialist healthcare system (ranked 18), but he makes his fortune with a business in Texas. He also inherited a tidy sum of money from his wealthy parents. As a Libertarian he pushes for gun rights and tax reduction, continually bashing liberals in the US, but enjoys the socialism and safety of Canada. If you look up "hypocrite" in the dictionary, you would see his grinning face as the illustration.
If I ever choose to run into him again which I doubt, I will give him this: thumbs.dreamstime.com
More people on planet Earth firmly believe in an invisible almighty God that no one has ever met or photographed than they do of the potential for extra-terrestrial life. The late Stephen Hawking warned NASA and other space agencies NOT to send probes into outer space describing the location of earth, concerned that alien entities may be more like Christopher Columbus and less like Leonardo da Vinci. Either or both of the Voyager I and II deep space probes had charts of our solar system and an illustration of man on the side: llllline.com
