Workers install the first panels of the Calexico border wall project.
New reinforced panels are being used to strengthen the border wall in the Calexico area of California.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), in partnership with the Army Corps of Engineers, announced a new panel installation on an 11-mile section of wall within the Border Patrol's San Diego sector on Thursday.

The new panels will replace the existing secondary barrier with 30-foot tall steel bollards as well as technology improvements, according to the CBP.

CBP says the El Centro and San Diego Sectors have been experiencing high levels of illegal-immigrant traffic. They hope this new addition to the wall will help support the Department of Homeland Security in hindering illegal crossings, and in quelling drug and smuggling activities.

Computer programming giant John McAfee has been out and about shopping for groceries in Cuba and he has something he wants to tell American news consumers about how their media portrays that country.

Mainstream American news outlets have had, pretty much, nothing good to say about Cuba since 1953. Annoyed by this endless stream of negativity, the 73-year-old businessman took to Twitter to correct some inaccuracies he detected in the reporting following a grocery run on Saturday.

Comment: Though John McAfee has an unconventional life so far, he has been a consistent thorn in the side of the US.

43-year-old El Salvador migrant dies in US border custody

A 43-year-old El Salvadoran man who crossed into the U.S. with his daughter collapsed at a border station and later died at a hospital, officials said Saturday.

The man had been held about a week at the Rio Grande Valley central processing center in McAllen, Texas, according to a law enforcement official. The official said the man, who had health issues, had been medically checked.

The daughter was still in U.S. Border Patrol custody, but officials had requested an expedited transfer to a shelter run by the agency that manages children who cross the border alone, the official said. The official did not know the daughter's age.

The child will be in a shelter until she is released to a sponsor, but that process could take weeks. The official was not authorized to divulge details of an ongoing investigation and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.

Reddit has been home to the largest pro-Donald Trump community on the Internet since even before the 2016 election.The_Donald - the name of the group - is now censored, joining the growing list of conservative voices silenced or stifled by Big Tech.

The community hosts over 755,000 subscribers, most of whom are avowed supporters of President Trump.
"They decided that claiming we were threatening cops might get conservatives against us, but at the end of the day it's just political censorship." - The_Donald moderating team
Speaking to Human Events, Shadowman3001 - a self-identified spokesman for The_Donald's moderating team - believes the censorship of the community may be less than coincidental.

Rescue workers look for survivors among the debris of a collapsed wall of a residential complex in Pune, India, June 29
Four children are among 15 people killed when a wall collapsed in Pune, India. The structure fell onto a group of shacks where people were sleeping, and dragged a number of parked cars down with it.

The disaster occurred in Pune's Kondhwa area when, after the heaviest rain seen in nine years, a portion of a residential compound wall collapsed as the ground caved in the early hours of Saturday.

The debris from the wall fell on a number of shacks built by laborers working on a nearby construction site, and a number of cars were pushed down onto the shacks.

The nation's paper of record has called for the unmasking and public humiliation of the individuals responsible for enforcing the US' border laws. Fury has ensued from the right.

Amid the ongoing debate over the Trump administration's detention of illegal immigrant children at the US border, the loaded phrase "concentration camps" has been thrown around quite a lot recently. Reports of inhumane conditions within these detention facilities - including overcrowding, unsanitary toilet facilities, shortage of hygiene supplies, and rotten food - have only served to inflame the left's anger at these facilities.

The New York Times on Saturday ran an opinion piece calling for extrajudicial punishment for the men and women who staff America's immigration agencies.

In it, human rights professor Kate Cronin-Furman calls for the identity of every single (over 45,000) Customs and Border Protection employee to be made public, presumably so they can be ostracized and have their fates left up to some seething mob.

Science's untold scandal: The lockstep march of professional societies to promote the climate change scare

When we started our careers, it was considered an honor to be a member of professional societies that helped practitioners keep up with the latest developments in their fields through relevant meetings and publications. Senior author Dr. Jay Lehr had the privilege of leading one of these societies long ago.

But things are different now. Whether it be chemistry, physics, geology or engineering, many of the world's primary professional societies have changed from being paragons of technical virtue to opportunistic groups focused on maximizing their members' financial gains in support of the climate scare, the world's greatest science fraud. In particular, they continue to promote the groundless hypothesis that carbon dioxide emitted as a result of mankind's use of fossil fuels is leading to environmental catastrophe. You have been hearing about it for the past decade and more, with 21 candidates for the Democratic nomination for the presidency in the next election promoting some form of a Green New Deal - a plan to eliminate the use of fossil fuels and replace them with wind and solar power thereby returning society to the lifestyle of the 1880s.

'New rules' for restaurants? Alleged spitting on Eric Trump sparks debate

A restaurant server who allegedly spat on Eric Trump, the President's son, has been placed on leave. In the wake of the incident, the media has entertained the idea of restaurant attacks being a form of legitimate resistance.

Trump Jnr. was allegedly spat on in The Aviary, a swanky Chicago cocktail lounge, on Tuesday night. Police and secret service were called to the scene, and Trump ultimately declined to press charges. However, he told Breitbart that the incident was "despicable," and called his attacker "someone who clearly has emotional problems."


The incident was decried by conservative pundits. "If you're celebrating this trend, you're a loser," radio host Joe 'Pags' Pagliarulo tweeted. Chicago's Democrat Mayor Lori Lightfoot also emphatically condemned the server on Friday, calling her alleged actions "repugnant," and adding "no one deserves that. No one."
