Total spending on border construction: $8 billion so far. The full plan: 1,418 miles of “Primary Smart Wall,” 536 miles of waterborne barriers, and 708 miles of secondary barriers. Funded through Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” passed in July – $46.5 billion allocated specifically for border wall completion through 2029. The “Smart Wall” isn’t just rebranded concrete. It’s steel bollards combined with patrol roads, cameras, lighting, advanced detection sensors, and in some locations waterborne or secondary barriers. CBP calls it an integrated border security system – not just a physical barrier but surveillance infrastructure covering gaps where terrain makes construction impractical. Here’s the funding story: Biden canceled wall contracts when he took office in 2021. The appropriated money – FY2021 funds – never expired. Trump returned in January 2025 and immediately restarted construction using those leftover billions. Then Congress passed his budget package allocating $46.5 billion more for multi-year construction. DHS Secretary Kristi Noem issued nine waivers since October to fast-track construction by bypassing environmental review requirements. The contracts are moving – $4.5 billion awarded in September, $3.3 billion now, with more queued through 2029. The system includes 536 miles where physical barriers won’t be built due to terrain – those sections get detection technology instead. Another 549 miles will add tech to barriers Biden left incomplete. Trump built 455 miles in his first term, mostly replacing existing fencing. This time the scale is bigger and the tech integration is real. Whether it achieves the enforcement outcomes CBP Commissioner Rodney Scott is promising remains to be seen, but the construction is happening and the funding is locked in.  https://twitter.com/EndWokeness/status/2001837612487840164?s=20 Import IsIamists.

One of the individuals named in the Indictment is Jimena Romina Araya Navarro, an alleged Tren De Aragua leader and Venezuelan entertainer who was sanctioned by the U.S. Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC).  OFAC's press release alleged that Araya Navarro reportedly helped the notorious head of TdA, Hector Rusthenford Guerrero Flores (a.k.a. “Niño Guerrero”) escape from the Tocorón prison in Venezuela in 2012, and others in this network have laundered money for TdA leaders.  Jimena Romina Araya Navarro was indicted by the grand jury for the District of Nebraska for material support to Tren De Aragua for factual allegations stemming from TdA's nationwide ATM jackpotting scheme that included burglaries of many ATMs located in Nebraska. Jimena Romina Araya Navarro has been publicly photographed at parties and social events with the alleged head of TdA Nino Guerrero.

The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is investigating whether Colorado providers helped nearly 3,000 people swindle taxpayer money from Uncle Sam, The Post has learned. The investigation comes after an internal HUD audit found that benefits were granted to 221 dead people, while another 87 were otherwise ineligible. The department also said that another 2,519 beneficiaries will need to undergo additional verification. Here’s the question: Were these just mistakes, the results of bad record-keeping, or deliberate fraud? Not that either is exactly a comfortable finding; when the answer is either criminality or gross incompetence, the taxpayers take a bath either way. And HUD is calling this apparent fraud.

These will be changes that you may not have read about in the media over this last year – but they're just as important for the new FBI. December 18: The FBI reporting structure. When Deputy Bongino and I arrived, FBI leadership was constructed to have all 50+ field offices report to one office in Washington D.C. This created inefficiencies and bureaucracy through no fault of the agents working hard in the field. When we got here, we sent personnel out to the field and then broke down the reporting structure giving a team of Operations Directors regional authority over each office. This allowed us to much more effectively manage each field office and get them the resources they need to do the job and protect the American people. The results speak for themselves: 100% increase in violent crime arrests, 35% increase in espionage arrests, 31% increase in fentanyl seizures, 500% increase in NVE arrests, and more. Making FBI leadership more responsive to the field allowed for the field to be more responsive to the American people – who we work for. https://twitter.com/KanekoaTheGreat/status/2001754813034533328?s=20 https://twitter.com/Rasmussen_Poll/status/2001699622553592254?s=20 https://twitter.com/Peoples_Pundit/status/2001817750952440044?s=20 https://twitter.com/EricLDaugh/status/2001837345113542864?s=20 https://twitter.com/KariLake/status/2001723271771726246?s=20  the center is not officially renamed solely based on the board’s vote. The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts was established and named by an act of Congress (Public Law 88-260 in 1964, codified in 20 U.S.C. § 76h et seq.), making its official name part of federal statute. While the Board of Trustees can vote to recommend or propose a name change—as they did unanimously on December 18, 2025, to add “Trump” to the name—the actual renaming requires legislative action to amend the law.The Process: Board Proposal: The Kennedy Center’s Board of Trustees (which includes presidential appointees, congressional ex officio members, and others) can discuss and vote on a proposed name change. In this case, the Trump-appointed board voted to rename it the “Donald J. Trump and John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts,” citing Trump’s contributions to renovations and fundraising. Congressional Legislation: To make the change official, Congress must pass a bill amending the relevant statutes. For example: Legislation has already been introduced in the House by Rep. Bob Onder (R-Mo.) to codify the rename. The bill would need to pass both the House and Senate, then be signed into law by the President (or overridden if vetoed). Potential Challenges and Approval: Ex officio board members (e.g., congressional Democrats like Rep. Joyce Beatty, Senate Leader Chuck Schumer, and House Leader Hakeem Jeffries) have stated that federal law prohibits name changes without congressional action, calling the board’s move unauthorized or illegal. reuters.com They dispute the “unanimous” vote claim, noting some were muted or unable to oppose. Kennedy family members, such as grandnephew Joe Kennedy, have opposed it, arguing the board lacks authority. reuters.com If passed, the change could face legal challenges, but congressional approval would make it binding. Until Congress acts, the center retains its current name, though the White House has begun referring to it as the “Trump-Kennedy Center” in announcements.  https://twitter.com/OpenSourceZone/status/2001373638654841181?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E2001373638654841181%7Ctwgr%5E686532e3ba9f23547c3b85b453c29e8ca105954e%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fredstate.com%2Fbobhoge%2F2025%2F12%2F18%2Fschizophrenia-dem-approval-rating-falls-off-a-cliff-but-voters-still-want-them-to-retake-the-house-n2197259 Trump announces ‘Patriot Games,' with 2 high school athletes from each state President Trump   announced plans for a “Patriot Games” next year that will pit top high school athletes from across the country against one another as part of a series of events to mark 250 years since the nation's founding.

Is the $400 billion currently being poured into AI infrastructure a visionary bet or a massive bubble waiting to burst? Vijay Rajendran explains why we are seeing the biggest investment in fixed capital since the railroads, and what could cause it all to come crashing down. In this interview, Vijay and Sean discuss the new velocity of fundraising, where startups hit $100M ARR in months, and the rise of "seed-strapping" (raising once, then profiting). They also debate why VCs are obsessed with "founder pedigree," the structural reasons why European startups struggle to scale compared to the US, and the geopolitical shocks (food and fuel prices) that could abruptly end the AI party.

The financial sector didn't just enable Jeffrey Epstein—they fortified him. For decades, elite institutions like JPMorgan Chase continued to do business with Epstein long after his 2008 conviction for soliciting a minor, ignoring internal warnings, compliance red flags, and credible allegations of abuse. High-ranking executives maintained close relationships, funneled vast sums through opaque accounts, and even joked about his grotesque proclivities in internal emails. Bankers helped him move millions across borders, granted him access to ultra-wealthy clients, and never asked the kind of questions they would demand from an average customer depositing a suspicious $10,000. These weren't oversights—they were decisions. Deliberate, profitable, and saturated with moral rot.At every turn, the financial institutions chose profit over principle. They ignored the trail of victims, the mountain of press coverage, and the glaring signs of criminality, all in exchange for Epstein's connections and capital. Even as civil suits piled up and survivors came forward, these firms were more concerned with protecting their reputations than cutting ties with a known predator. The result wasn't just a financial scandal—it was systemic complicity. The banks didn't just launder his money. They laundered his legitimacy, allowing him to continue operating as a global financier, when in truth he was running an empire built on exploitation and secrecy.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

In this episode of Founder's Club, host Dez DeCosta sits down with Sean Callagy, the legally blind attorney, entrepreneur, and creator of the UNBLINDED Formula. Sean shares how he went from captain of the Columbia University baseball team to building Callagy Law, a multistate firm with more than one hundred team members, and how his gradual loss of vision became an advantage that shaped his urgency, focus, and purpose.Sean explains the UNBLINDED Formula, a system built on influence mastery, process mastery, and self mastery, and shows how these principles guide leadership, communication, and growth. He also discusses ACTi, his emerging AI venture that brings ethical influence into decision intelligence, and the habits and disciplines that allow him to navigate intense workloads while remaining grounded.From his belief that influence is the only human attainable superpower to his candid reflections on failure, resilience, and faith, this conversation offers a rare look into the structure behind Sean's approach to business and life. Listeners will walk away with practical insights on truthful communication, emotional regulation, daily performance, and the pursuit of exponential results.Learn more at UNBLINDEDMastery.com

Marjorie Taylor Greene, the firebrand Georgia congresswoman, announced in November she is planning to resign from Congress. Her last day in office will be January 5, 2026, over a month away.

Dublin has developed a reputation for anti-social behaviour and danger after dark, but since the summer, a new initiative has tried to enhance community safety with a non-judgmental welfare zone on busy Camden street. Funded by the department of justice, Dublin City Council's Nee Naw service will finish up it's trial period after Christmas, but is there a permanent place for the Nee Naw in the Capital? Newstalk's Sarah Madden went out over the weekend with it's operators to find out.

Interview with Chad Peters, President & CEO of Ridgeline Minerals Corp.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/partnership-driven-mining-exploration-reducing-risk-maximizing-returns-8307Recording date: 21st November 2025Ridgeline Minerals (TSXV:RDG) presents investors with an unusual proposition: leveraged exposure to a Nevada carbonate replacement deposit discovery that South32 publicly compares to its $2 billion Taylor acquisition, yet trades at valuations suggesting significant market scepticism. Understanding this disconnect requires examining both the technical merits of the Selena discovery and the strategic value of Ridgeline's partner-funded business model.The company's second drill hole at Selena intersected multiple massive sulphide horizons including 17 metres of 6% zinc with 30-40 g/t silver plus copper, gold, and antimony credits. Using metallurgical recovery rates from South32's Taylor feasibility study (79-95% across all metals), this intercept grades approximately 30% higher on a metal equivalent basis than Taylor's resource grade. The hole validated a 2-kilometre-long magnetotelluric anomaly comparable in scale and intensity to Taylor, which South32 is spending US$3 billion to develop as one of the world's largest silver-lead-zinc deposits.South32's Chief Development Officer publicly congratulated Ridgeline on the discovery and compared it to Taylor's early days, providing external validation from a major miner with global CRD expertise. The partnership structure requires South32 to spend US$10 million over five years to earn 60% of Selena, with Ridgeline earning 10% of every dollar spent. An optional phase two allows South32 to spend another US$10 million over three years to reach 80%, automatically triggering Ridgeline's fully carried interest to commercial production on the remaining 20% stake.CEO Chad Peters emphasised the significance: "Taylor to build is publicly announced US$3 billion. So what is our 20% free carry worth? US$600 million - that's US$600 million less of dilution to Ridgeline shareholders." Even if South32 stops at 60% ownership, Peters noted that "if we own 40% of what might be a world-class CRD, we can fund that all day long" through project financing or third-party investment.The market's muted response to technically strong drill results reflects the challenge of valuing polymetallic deposits where zinc, silver, copper, gold, antimony, and lead contribute simultaneously to economics. Peters acknowledged this communication difficulty, noting that antimony alone - averaging 0.1% in the discovery hole - "is five times as valuable as copper," making that byproduct credit equivalent to 0.5% copper over 17 metres. For investors capable of conducting independent metallurgical and economic analysis, this complexity may create information arbitrage opportunities.Ridgeline's business model eliminates near-term financing pressure through US$60 million in total partner commitments across three Nevada projects with South32 and Nevada Gold Mines. The company anticipates approximately US$12 million in partner-funded exploration for 2026, the largest budget in its history, whilst requiring no equity financing to advance core projects. With drill hole 54 testing the heart of the Selena magnetotelluric target (results expected January 2026), pending Swift project assays, and only 18 months elapsed in South32's five-year phase one earn-in, the company sits at maximum exploration leverage where each subsequent hole materially impacts valuation.The investment thesis centres on whether South32's demonstrable commitment and public comparison to Taylor signals world-class potential that the market has failed to recognise, or whether current valuations appropriately reflect the substantial execution risk inherent in translating one discovery hole into a viable mining operation. Investors with appropriate risk tolerance and capability to evaluate complex polymetallic deposit economics may find current entry points attractive ahead of multiple near-term catalysts, whilst recognising that CRD discoveries require 7-10 years minimum from discovery to production and significant additional drilling to validate system scale and grade continuity.View Ridgeline Minerals' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/ridgeline-mineralsSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Joseph Sternberg Joseph Sternberg analyzes the BBC political bias scandal, which is significant because the BBC is "omnipresent" and arranges the "mental furniture for British society," noting the BBC, funded largely by a mandatory license fee, faced allegations ranging from deceptive editing of President Trump's remarks to the Arabic service pushing Hamas propaganda potentially fueling anti-Semitism, while domestically discussing the UK Labour Party's dilemma over controversial immigration policies to control illegal channel crossings, a crisis that has strengthened Nigel Farage's Reform party.

The Coming Wave: Why Cash PT Is Headed Toward National Consolidation In this episode, Doc Danny Matta breaks down a bold prediction for the next decade of cash-based physical therapy: the rise of the first nationwide cash PT brand. He explains why the market is primed for massive consolidation, how well-funded companies will change the competitive landscape, and what independent PTs must do now to protect their clinics and stay ahead. Quick Ask If this episode helps you think strategically about your business, share it with another clinician who needs to hear it—and tag @dannymattaPT so he can reshare it. Let's help more PTs build resilient, future-proof practices. Episode Summary Documentation burnout: Notes are the #1 satisfaction killer for PTs—but AI scribes like Clair are changing that. The big prediction: A dominant, well-funded cash PT brand will emerge within 5–10 years. Why it's coming: Cash PT is a fragmented industry—making it ripe for consolidation. Parallel to CrossFit: Independent affiliates → OrangeTheory-style scaling. The MYO example: A clinically strong, business-savvy brand already expanding across North America. Funding accelerates growth: Capitalized clinics can outspend and outscale local competitors. The risk to small clinics: Owners who don't level up in business skills will be the first to get squeezed out. Lessons & Takeaways Strong brand identity matters: Your niche and reputation must be crystal clear. Community ties protect you: Local loyalty beats national branding when done right. Systems = survival: Without consistent processes, you can't compete with scaled clinics. Capital changes the game: Funded competitors can move faster and spend more to dominate markets. Seven-figure clinics are the safe zone: Multiple clinicians = stability, hiring power, and insulation. Mindset & Motivation Control what you can control: You can't stop national brands, but you can out-serve them locally. Play offense, not defense: Staying tiny isn't safe—it's risky. Growth is protection: More clinicians = stronger brand, stronger community presence, and stronger cash flow. Embrace the opportunity: Rising interest in cash PT means a larger market for everyone. Pro Tips for Clinic Owners Automate documentation: Use Clair to reclaim time, reduce burnout, and stay patient-focused. Dial in your niche: Own a specific population so deeply that national chains can't replicate you. Invest in brand building: Your logo, message, and community presence matter more than ever. Master sales & marketing: Cash PT requires top-tier communication and value clarity. Train your team relentlessly: Quality control keeps your outcomes consistent across clinicians. Notable Quotes "Any fragmented industry eventually consolidates. Cash PT is no different." "If you stay tiny because you think it's safe, you're actually more vulnerable than ever." "A national cash PT brand will sell for nine figures—or more. The momentum is already here." "Your community, your niche, your service—those are your moats." Action Items Audit your brand: is it recognizable, niche-specific, and memorable? Evaluate your systems: documentation, scheduling, marketing, and sales. Assess your growth plan: is staying small really safe for the next decade? Study fast-scaling companies like MYO to understand future competition. Start using an AI scribe like Clair to free up hours of mental bandwidth.

Well, it's over — after much controversy and ugliness through a lengthy campaign, New York City has elected Zohran Mamdani as the next mayor. Contrary to the consensus on the left, however, Jimmy and Due Dissidence's Russell Dobler do not believe Mamdani's victory represents a radical political shift but rather a continuation of establishment politics backed by elite interests, including figures like Alex Soros.  Russell suggests that while Mamdani may implement limited reforms such as a rent freeze, his administration is unlikely to deliver transformative change, comparing his prospects to past Democratic mayors like Bill de Blasio. The discussion also highlights how demographic shifts and frustration with entrenched political power shaped the election, signaling the end of an era for New York's old political establishment. Plus segments on Mamdani's decidedly anti-worker stance regarding fired city workers who refused to take the COVID vaccine and Israel arresting the nation's chief prosecutor after she charged Israeli prison guards with sexual assault of Palestinian prisoners.
