Charleroi, Pennsylvania, Councilman Larry Celaschi says former President Joe Biden's administration dumping thousands of Haitian migrants in his small community has spurred a crisis of strained public resources as the non-English speakers cause daily car crashes and rack up unpaid ambulance bills.

This week, Celaschi testified before the House Judiciary Committee's immigration subcommittee on the impact that Biden's mass migration agenda has had on the small town of Charleroi, which had a population of about 4,000 residents before being forced to absorb 2,000 to 3,000 mostly Haitian migrants from 2021 to 2024.

The results, Celaschi testified, have been disastrous for the small community as car crashes occur daily because of non-English speaking drivers, ambulance resources are drained, schools are overcrowded, and quality of life declines.

Police have identified former Brown University student Claudio Neves Valente as the gunman in both the fatal shooting at the Ivy League school in Rhode Island and the murder of an MIT professor in Massachusetts, while also confirming he died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Valente, a Portuguese national, was found dead Thursday night following a nearly weeklong manhunt spurred by the shooting Saturday that killed two Brown students, Providence Police Chief Oscar Perez announced at a press conference.

The 48-year-old former graduate student was discovered dead with a satchel and two firearms inside a Salem, New Hampshire, storage facility, where authorities carried out a search warrant around 9 p.m.

A world-renowned Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) professor and fusion-energy physicist was shot and killed inside his home earlier this week, an attack that has rattled one of the country's most elite scientific communities.

Nuno F. Gomes Loureiro, 47, was a professor of nuclear science and engineering and the director of MIT's Plasma Science and Fusion Center. Loureiro was a renowned figure in fusion-energy research, a field that seeks to recreate the power of the sun inside fusion reactors on Earth. His theories and models helped guide major fusion experiments in the United States and Europe.

Loureiro was rushed to a hospital with "apparent gunshot wounds" Monday evening and pronounced dead Tuesday morning, according to the Norfolk District Attorney's Office in Massachusetts. A homicide investigation is underway.

Comment: SpaceWeatherNews report an audio extract where he was warning about the incoming ice age.
"And it reverses sometimes. And those reversals of the Earth's magnetic field, so you know, reversal meaning the North Pole becomes the South Pole and vice versa. So those happen and there's even interesting stories you can tell about how those reversals of the Earth's magnetic field correlate with many ice ages and things like this."​

Anger mounts as the investigation into the Brown University shooting runs into ongoing hurdles: no identifiable suspect, a series of dead-end leads involving so-called persons of interest, and bizarre anomalies as the probe enters its fourth day.

The shooting at Brown occurred Saturday afternoon at the Barus and Holley Engineering Building. Ella Cook and Mukhammad Aziz Umurzokov were both killed. Importantly, Cook served as the vice president of the Ivy League school's College Republicans.

Comment: Is it a coverup? If so, why?

Olympic swimming champion, Sharron Davies MBE (pictured), has backed the WRN's calls on local authorities to act and 'protect all female swimmers'
Women and girls are being targeted by sexual predators in mixed changing rooms, a report has claimed.

Eighty sexual assaults, 16 rapes and 65 incidents of voyeurism happened across leisure centres in England and Wales in 2023, according to police data obtained by the Women's Rights Network (WRN).

In light of their recent findings, the campaigners have warned that mixed-sex changing rooms are a 'magnet for sexual predators' and pose hidden dangers for women and girls.

It comes as a previous report from the group found only one in three councils offered no single-sex changing areas for swimming pool users.

Beyond workplaces and schools, it is not compulsory for a service provider to offer single-sex facilities.

Nick Reiner has been arrested on suspicion of murder after the deaths of his parents, the renowned actor-director Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner, according to the Los Angeles police chief Jim McDonnell.

Nick Reiner, 32, was taken into custody on Sunday night. Jail records initially showed that his bail had been set at $4m, but Nick Reiner was later ordered held without bail, the police said.

Those jail records initially accused Nick Reiner of "gang activity" but did not elaborate. On Monday, McDonnell confirmed at a news briefing that Nick Reiner had been "booked for murder" in connection with his parents' killings.

McDonnell called the deaths "very tragic" and said investigators "worked throughout the night on this case" before arresting Reiner.

EU: Privacy for the powerful, surveillance for the rest, as proposed tech regulation goes too far

Protecting kids is a weak pretext for total digital surveillance. What's worse, the EU's monitoring exempted its own politicians from scrutiny. Their privacy matters, but not yours.

Last month, we lamented California's Frontier AI Act of 2025. The Act favors compliance over risk management, while shielding bureaucrats and lawmakers from responsibility. Mostly, it imposes top-down regulatory norms, instead of letting civil society and industry experts experiment and develop ethical standards from the bottom up.

Perhaps we could dismiss the Act as just another example of California's interventionist penchant. But some American politicians and regulators are already calling for the Act to be a "template for harmonizing federal and state oversight." The other source for that template would be the European Union (EU), so it's worth keeping an eye on the regulations spewed out of Brussels.

Aristocracy, Meritocracy, Technocracy, and Revolution

All human societies have informal social classes or formal social castes that separate groups of people within the same community. Generally speaking, notions of aristocracy and hereditary nobility started on the battlefield. Warrior chiefs of clans became minor kings after killing more rivals without dying themselves. Rather than remaining in a constant state of tribal conflict, the chiefs of other clans bent the knee and became lesser lords. Because kings and lords prefer their heirs to be kings and lords, too, bloodlines afforded children the social status that their ancestors had earned on the battlefield.

A ruling king who provided security and stability earned deference from those under his protection. Over time, tribes combined to become nations. Chieftains cooperated to form royal courts. And the heirs of warrior chiefs adopted customs and traditions that symbolically separated those who rule from those who are ruled.

Mississippi's reading skills turnaround holds lessons for Oregon

With an approach built on "the science of reading," Mississippi has schooled Oregon.

Earlier this year, the National Assessment of Educational Progress released its annual report card, including reading scores for fourth graders across the country.

Reading scores at fourth grade are considered a vital bellwether for a student's educational progress.

Adjusted for demographics, Oregon landed 50th — at the very bottom. Mississippi, a state some Oregonians like to deride as backward, scored at the very top.

Mississippi is a state burdened by deep poverty, tightfisted public spending, and a punishing legacy of segregation. It spends $13,461 per student a year, $6,000 less than Oregon. And yet, test scores show, students across the board in Mississippi are learning to read in ways that Oregon could only hope for.

Comment: Oregon seems bent on self-destruction, but they're not alone:

Palestinians in Gaza are dying as the Israeli siege turns harsh winter weather deadly

Severe weather conditions in Gaza have claimed the lives of 13 people, including babies who froze to death, as Israel continues to block the entry of aid that could provide shelter to 1.5 million Palestinians living in worn-out tents.

The parents of 8-month-old Rahaf Abu Jazar woke up on Thursday morning to find their baby blue in the lips and with cold and stiff limbs. She had frozen to death after heavy rainfall seeped through the tent while everyone was asleep, soaking through Rahaf's clothes.

Hajar Abu Jazar, 32, says her daughter was a healthy baby and did not suffer from any illness or preexisting condition. Hajar lives with her husband and seven of their children in a tent encampment in the Mawasi area of Khan Younis in southern Gaza. Hajar says that she is afraid that Rahaf won't be the only one of her children who freezes to death or suffers harm from the severe weather conditions.

"Yesterday, she was playing with her siblings and had no complaints," she told Mondoweiss. "We went to bed and woke up the next day and found that her clothes were soaked through. She froze to death in her sleep."
