The Federal Emergency Management Agency might undergo a major change to its IT operations if President Donald Trump's nominee to lead the Department of Homeland Security unit is confirmed. Cameron Hamilton, Trump's pick to lead FEMA, told Senate lawmakers during a Wednesday hearing some of the tools and technology that FEMA uses are a bit antiquated and that if he's confirmed, he's planning to do a significant IT overhaul of the entire agency for better accountability. Hamilton would be the first permanent leader of FEMA in Trump's second term. The agency has gone through four different acting administrators, including Hamilton, whose stint lasted from January-May 2025. The instability at its helm is representative of the turmoil throughout FEMA, which has seen its net workforce contract by nearly 4,000 since 2025. More than half of those departures occurred in the first four months of 2026, according to OPM's Federal Workforce Data website's latest update in April. FEMA was especially impacted by the historically long DHS shutdown earlier this year, with its operations scaled back to the bare minimum. The Environmental Protection Agency has run artificial intelligence pilots on “everything,” but its chief information officer only wants subject matter experts to be using the technology at a high level. CIO Carter Farmer said last week that while the agency has piloted AI to review public comments and analyze large scientific datasets, he still wants experts to review outputs. Farmed explained: “Something we tell our staff quite regularly is if you're not an expert in the subject matter you're using AI for, you probably shouldn't be using AI because it can be very convincingly wrong. If you're not an expert at that, validating those outputs is very hard.” Another reason why using AI can require more experience: “Prompt engineering is a real skill,” Farmer said, and proper use is rarely plug-and-play. He added that: “Having to learn how AI works — and how the back end of it actually works — is very helpful in how to think about how you should be using this tool.” But the agency's daily use of AI is less high-stakes. Farmer said the EPA's biggest focus currently is using AI for “low-level” or “low-risk functions” like email drafting and creating presentations.

Did AG Nominee Todd Blanche forge a key piece of correspondence between his law firm and his criminal clients, commit malpractice, and overbill the case when he was in private practice before working for Trump? All of these questions have been raised in a lawsuit still pending in a New York court. Popok explains how this is the lawsuit that Blanche wishes would go away, but should be used by the Senate Dems during confirmation hearings to have Blanche explain why the handwriting expert who says the signatures were forged is wrong!

One might be forgiven for having assumed that Ken Paxton is the most offensive and least-qualified Republican nominee for statewide office in Texas this cycle, and there's certainly a strong arguement for that position. But, definitely in the running for that title is Bo French, the completely unqualified and even more unhinged nominee for Texas Railroad Commission.Luckily, the Democrats have fielded the direct opposite in the energy sector and oilfield expert - and Houston-area State Representative - Jon Rosenthal, who is by leaps and bounds more qualified for the job, and will be a compelling choice even for Republicans, provided they have even a limited understanding of the importance of the Texas energy industry and the vital role the Texas Railroad Commission plays in its proper management.Learn more about State Rep.

What a remarkable turn of events, just weeks before an explosive trial was set to begin in Arkansas. A judge has dismissed second degree murder charges against the leading candidate for Lonoke County Sheriff., 37-year-old Aaron Spencer. Spencer was in pursuit of 67-year-old Michael Fosler, who kidnapped his 13-year-old daughter while out on parole for allegedly sexually assaulting her months earlier. Spencer admits to running him off the road, shooting and killing Fosler and rescuing his daughter in the process. Wait until you hear WHY the judge dismissed the case and why that is now adding to the likelihood this self confessed killer may become Lonoke’s next sheriff.

BV discusses Tuesday's primary results and is joined by the Republican nominee for Govenor Gregg Hull. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The issue of Thai nominees has heated up in the past little while, with daily news stories about crackdowns, changing laws, and foreigners running scared (or just running).  The discussion begins with Ed outlining the basic framework of the Thai Foreign Business Act, explaining how it restricts foreigners from owning more than forty-nine percent of companies in certain restricted sectors. He details how this legal hurdle gave rise to the widespread use of Thai nominees, where Thai citizens are paid to hold fifty-one percent of the shares on paper, allowing the foreigner to maintain operational control. Next, Ed brings up the legal gray area surrounding this practice. He clarifies that while having genuine Thai business partners is perfectly fine, using fake nominee shareholders who possess no actual financial stake or voting power is strictly illegal under Thai law. Greg then steers the conversation toward recent government crackdowns on this practice. He discusses how authorities have been aggressively targeting blatant abuses of the nominee system, specifically focusing on certain foreign-owned businesses in tourist hotspots like Phuket and parts of Bangkok. Ed subsequently highlights the massive risks that foreigners take when utilizing these shady corporate structures. He points out that because the Thai nominee legally owns the majority of the company, the foreign investor has almost zero legal recourse if the nominee suddenly decides to seize control of the assets or the business bank accounts. Finally, Greg wraps up the topic by suggesting legitimate alternatives to the nominee route. He points out that foreign entrepreneurs should instead look into the Board of Investment promotion or the US-Thai Treaty of Amity, both of which offer legal pathways to complete foreign ownership without the associated risks.

BIG WIN for Republicans in Tennessee! The Tennessee House just passed — and Governor Bill Lee (R) signed — a new congressional map that eliminates the state's only Democrat-held district, setting up a potential 9-0 Republican sweep in Congress. This smart redistricting move protects President Trump's agenda and strengthens Republican control of the House. Democrats threw a tantrum — waving signs, blowing air horns, and storming out — while Rep. Steve Cohen (D) vowed to sue. But Tennessee patriots are fighting back against the radical Left and securing fair representation.
