Alameda County in California has become one of the central battlegrounds over the introduction of drones to domestic police work. Earlier this year , Alameda County Sheriff Gregory Ahern raised the hackles of local civil libertarians (and there are quite a few of those in the county, which encompasses Berkeley and Oakland) by declaring his intention to purchase a drone to assist with “emergency response.” According to Ahern, Alameda Sheriff's personnel first tested a UAV in fall 2011 and gave a public demonstration of the machine's … [Read more...] about California law enforcement moves to buy drones, draws controversy

The biggest example of what the Chinese call elite capture is obviously Hunter Biden. But here’s why Taiwan matters to every American. Today, it can be blockading shipping and commercial aircraft going into Taiwan. Tomorrow, it can be oil into Japan, and then the next — the next move by Chairman Xi could be pharmaceuticals into the United States. We just saw the Senate pass billions to go into green energy.
