The president likes him “a lot,” but Georgia voters still have to prove they agree.

Sitting U.S. Rep. Mike Collins (R-Ga.) took home the most votes in the Georgia GOP primary for U.S. Senate on Tuesday, but it was not enough to secure an outright nomination.

’28 more days of putting the hammer down!’

Collins was first in the primary, but since he did not garner 50% of the vote, he will have to go head-to-head against runner-up Derek Dooley in a runoff election on June 16. Collins finished with nearly 41% of the vote, while Dooley had about 30%, according to CBS News.

“Thank you, Georgia. Love y’all. 28 more days of putting the hammer down!” Collins wrote on X after securing the most votes in the primary.

Collins was considered the favorite as a MAGA-style Republican and led polls by an average of 11.5 points between April and May.

The 58-year-old also received an unofficial endorsement from President Donald Trump in February, but it is unclear how much that endorsement helped him.

A video posted February 19 showed Trump telling supporters, “He’s a friend of mine. He’s a good guy.”

“I like him a lot,” Trump added.

The video garnered nearly 1 million views on X, but subsequent polls showed Collins’ lead shrank from about +25 in mid-February to just +14 by the end of the month.

Still, Collins was considered to be Trump-aligned, having similar views on immigration and spearheading the Laken Riley Act. As well, Collins voted against aid to Ukraine in October 2023, but voted in favor of Israeli aid the same month.

Dooley, a former football coach for the Tennessee Volunteers, was consistently second or third in polling and was endorsed by Georgia Governor Brian Kemp (R).

Dooley put out a statement late on Tuesday thanking his voters for their support.

“This campaign has been about putting the people of Georgia first and sending a new type of leader up to D.C. who’s in it for the right reasons, and that’s to serve,” Dooley wrote on X.

“Let’s get to work and win this runoff!” he added alongside a photo that featured Gov. Kemp.

Third place went to Rep. Earl “Buddy” Carter (R-Ga.), a former pharmacist and mayor who received approximately 25% of the vote.

Other candidates included businessman and real estate developer John Coyne, as well as Jonathan McColumn, a retired U.S. Army Reserve brigadier general and pastor. Both got less than 5% of the vote.

The winner of Collins vs. Dooley will face off against Democrat Senator Jon Ossoff in November. Ossoff went unopposed in the Democrat primary and has been in office since 2021.

Every time you drive through an intersection, pass a police cruiser, or pull into a parking lot, there’s a growing chance your vehicle is being logged into a database you never agreed to join.

Across the country, cities are rapidly expanding automated license plate reader systems — networks of cameras that record where vehicles travel, when they appear, and increasingly, what makes them unique.

The San Jose lawsuit argues that vehicle tracking data can already be shared across jurisdictions and searched broadly.

Whose ‘safety’?

Much of the backlash now centers on Flock Safety, the largest automated license plate reader company in the United States. The company says its cameras operate in more than 5,000 communities, connect to over 4,800 law enforcement agencies across 49 states, and process more than 20 billion license plate reads every month.

Supporters call it a powerful crime-fighting tool.

Critics see the foundation of a nationwide vehicle surveillance network.

And now the legal fight is escalating.

In San Jose, California, residents and the Institute for Justice have filed a federal lawsuit challenging the city’s massive automated license plate reader program, arguing that constant vehicle tracking without a warrant violates the Fourth Amendment.

San Jose deployed nearly 500 cameras across the city, creating one of the largest systems in the country. These cameras do far more than capture license plates. They can log vehicle color, make, model, bumper stickers, roof racks, and other identifying details. Over time, that creates a searchable history of a driver’s movements and routines.

According to the lawsuit, thousands of government employees may be able to access portions of that data.

Supporters argue these systems help solve crimes and recover stolen vehicles. Critics argue the scale changes the equation entirely. A few cameras targeting specific criminal investigations is one thing. Constant mass collection of vehicle data is something very different.

That distinction is beginning to resonate with the public.

Bipartisan backlash

In Pine Plains, New York, residents erupted after discovering plans to install Flock Safety cameras without public approval. Town meetings quickly turned contentious after reports surfaced that officials had tried to minimize public attention around the rollout. Residents demanded answers, and eventually the proposal collapsed under public pressure.

What’s striking is that Pine Plains is a town of only about 2,200 people.

This is no longer just a debate happening in large cities with major crime problems. Smaller communities are beginning to push back too.

And the backlash is becoming bipartisan.

Conservative-led states including Montana, Idaho, and Arkansas have recently enacted laws restricting how governments can access or retain certain surveillance data. At the same time, Democratic-led cities in states including Colorado, Illinois, Massachusetts, New York, Texas, and Washington have terminated or reconsidered contracts with Flock Safety over privacy concerns.

No context

The concern goes beyond ordinary policing.

Civil liberties groups like the ACLU argue that once large-scale tracking systems exist, the data can easily be shared across agencies and repurposed far beyond the original justification. Reports have already surfaced showing local agencies conducting searches connected to federal immigration enforcement requests.

That’s where the conversation changes.

Law enforcement requires judgment. Context matters. Algorithms don’t understand context — they simply record and flag behavior mechanically.

And modern automatic license plate reader systems do far more than issue tickets.

Over time, they can reveal where people work, worship, shop, protest, or whom they regularly associate with. Once collected, that information rarely stays confined to one agency or one purpose.

Court fight

The San Jose lawsuit argues that vehicle tracking data can already be shared across jurisdictions and searched broadly. Privacy advocates worry that such systems could eventually be used for purposes far beyond local policing.

That’s why the court fight matters.

If courts side with cities, expect rapid expansion: more cameras, more interconnected databases, and broader information sharing between agencies.

If courts push back, it could force lawmakers and cities to rethink how these systems operate — or whether they should operate at this scale at all.

Most Americans support law enforcement and want safer communities. But they also expect constitutional protections to keep pace with technology.

Right now, many residents feel those protections are lagging badly behind.

Cities are deploying powerful surveillance systems first and answering questions later. Oversight remains inconsistent, and public transparency is often limited.

That’s fueling distrust even among people who might otherwise support the technology.

I brake for mistakes

There’s also a practical problem policymakers rarely acknowledge: These systems are not infallible.

Databases can be hacked. Searches can be misused. False matches happen. And when systems scale rapidly, those risks scale with them.

Several lawsuits around the country already involve drivers who were stopped or investigated after incorrect plate matches or flawed data.

In Europe, camera-based enforcement has already expanded well beyond speeding tickets. Cities in the United Kingdom now use extensive automated camera systems tied to congestion charges, low-emissions zones, and traffic enforcement programs. Critics warn that once these systems become normalized, their use tends to expand.

Tracking the trackers

Expect more legal challenges ahead.

Expect more public fights at city council meetings.

And expect this issue to move increasingly into national politics as more Americans realize how much vehicle tracking technology has quietly expanded.

At its core, this debate is no longer just about traffic cameras or stolen cars.

It’s about whether Americans are comfortable living in a country where their movements on public roads can be continuously logged, stored, and searched without a warrant.

More and more people are starting to decide they aren’t.

A 25-year-old man has been arrested after police said they found human remains buried in his backyard while they were searching for his missing father.

The Marion County Sheriff’s Office sought a search warrant for Andres Bahamon’s home in Dunnellon after he allegedly sent a photo of his dead father to his mother in Germany.

Investigators claimed to have found what they believe to be blood on the door frame, a bullet casing on the floor, and bullets inside the home.

The family of the man’s father, 43-year-old Andres Bahamon-Prada, said he had been missing since May 7, according to an arrest warrant, but police began searching for him on Saturday.

When they searched the home Monday, they found an area of freshly disturbed dirt and detected the odor of decomposition. Buried in the dirt was a large rolled-up carpet with human remains.

Investigators claimed to have found what they believe to be blood on the door frame, a bullet casing on the floor, and bullets inside the home, according to the arrest warrant.

Bahamon was identified as a person of interest and arrested on Monday. He was charged with tampering with evidence and held at the Marion County Jail with no bond.

The suspect’s mother had forwarded the alleged photo of the dead man to Bahamon-Prada’s mother and told her to call law enforcement. Bahamon also allegedly threatened to kill his mother when he found out the photo had been given to the police.

The victim’s mother also told police that Bahamon told her the victim was “evil” and a “junkie.”

The suspect was located at the RaceTrac gas station in Ocala.

Police said they are searching for the father’s missing car, a silver 2007 Infinity M35, and believe the car may have important evidence in the case.

Police have not yet identified to the remains.

Anyone with information related to the missing car is urged to contact the Marion County Sheriff’s Office.

Los Angeles Police Department Detective Mark Fuhrman, who died last week at 74, played a central role in the 1995 O.J. Simpson trial. But even now, more than 30 years on, that needs clarification. Simpson, the former NFL star and actor, stood trial for the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman. In the courtroom, however, the real defendant often seemed to be Fuhrman.

Fuhrman collected key physical evidence, including the bloody glove. So Simpson’s defense team made the detective, not the accused killer, the trial’s main target. Fuhrman had denied using the “N-word,” but the defense proved otherwise and, from that point, argued that he could have planted evidence. On the other side, prosecutor Marcia Clark looked overmatched, and Christopher Darden did little better.

Mark Fuhrman can rest in peace knowing he was right all along.

As a stringer for the Washington Times, I was at the courthouse for the verdict. An airplane circled above towing a banner that read, “If it does not fit you must acquit — bulls**t.” I believed Simpson was guilty, but when the acquittal came down, I felt some relief. This was Los Angeles, where many people believe police do nothing but harass, beat, and kill black people. When that narrative takes hold, the default response is to burn down the city. The gangs were ready. For plenty of others, the verdict was a joke.

Jay Leno joked about Simpson’s new show, “My So-Called Knife,” while others volunteered to help O.J. “find the real killer.” As Fox News later noted, Fuhrman was convicted of perjury, making him the only person connected to the case who was convicted of a crime related to the trial. Yet many of his colleagues still regarded him as a strong detective, and later events helped explain why.

In 1998, Fuhrman published “Murder in Greenwich: Who Killed Martha Moxley?” The victim, a 15-year-old girl, was beaten to death with a golf club in 1975. Fuhrman showed how Greenwich police had effectively acted as a private security force for the wealthy Skakel family. They were also badly out of their depth on a murder case and botched the investigation, especially the crime scene.

The murder weapon, a 6-iron, came from a set owned by the Skakels. The evidence pointed strongly to someone in the family. Michael Skakel, then 15, had a reputation for violent behavior, giving Martha reason to fear him. In 2002, he was sentenced to 20 years to life for her murder.

But the Skakels are related to the Kennedys, and in 2003 Robert F. Kennedy Jr. wrote a lengthy article for the Atlantic arguing that Michael was innocent and his conviction and imprisonment were “a miscarriage of justice.”

In 2018, the Connecticut Supreme Court overturned Skakel’s conviction, ruling that his attorney had failed to present alibi evidence effectively. In 2020, a state prosecutor announced that Skakel would not be retried, and the murder charge was dropped.

Skakel then sued the prosecution, and in 2026 he is still denouncing “bold-faced lies.” The Moxley family have never wavered in their belief that Michael Skakel killed Martha, much as the Goldman family never wavered about O.J. Simpson.

In 1997, a jury found Simpson liable in a civil wrongful-death case. In 2007, a federal judge awarded the Goldman family rights to “If I Did It” to help satisfy the $38 million judgment against Simpson. Simpson died in 2024 at 76.

The Moxley case led Fuhrman to ask whether America has “two systems of justice in this country, one for the rich and another for the rest of us.” The same question hovered over the Simpson case.

Mark Fuhrman can rest in peace knowing he was more right than wrong.

For the past two years, one image has circulated among defense analysts: a U.S. Navy destroyer firing a Standard Missile-2, which costs about $2.1 million, to intercept a Houthi drone that likely cost $2,000.

Nobody in that chain made a bad decision. The ship had to be defended. But the Navy has now fired more than 200 such missiles in the Red Sea since late 2023 at a cost of hundreds of millions of dollars. Project that math onto future conflicts — Taiwan, the Baltics, the Persian Gulf — and the picture gets alarming fast.

Sophistication matters. Volume matters more. Flexibility may matter most of all.

The standard answer is to demand better technology: lasers, interceptor drones, smarter jamming. But that misses what Ukraine has shown over three years of the largest sustained drone war in history. Much of the technology needed to defeat cheap drones at reasonable cost already exists. What America lacks is the doctrine, procurement flexibility, and industrial base to field it at scale.

What defenders need is simpler: distributed sensors, disciplined targeting, and layered defenses that match the cheapest effective response to each threat.

Ukraine now produces about 1,500 interceptor drones per day. They cost $1,200 and $4,700 apiece, a fraction of the $29,100 to $46,520 Shahed drones they destroy. One in three Russian aerial threats over Ukraine is now brought down by an interceptor drone rather than a missile. Ukraine’s overall interception rate sits around 80%, achieved not through Patriot batteries alone but through layers of cheap, rapidly iterated hardware built by 450 domestic manufacturers.

Ukraine’s advantage is not just volume. It is decentralization. Units, volunteers, and defense-tech firms operate in a flexible ecosystem that lets them adapt systems to terrain, weather, and enemy tactics as conditions change.

The American model moves the other way: centralized requirements, standardized programs, and long acquisition cycles. That system can produce extraordinary weapons. It cannot adapt when the battlefield changes faster than the program office. The United States faces different constraints, especially at sea and across global commitments, but the underlying economics do not change.

As of 2022, the United States was producing roughly 500 to 600 Patriot missiles per year. That stock can be burned through in weeks during a high-intensity conflict. This is not a missile-design flaw. It is the result of three decades of underinvestment in manufacturing capacity and a procurement system optimized for sophistication over volume. America still buys platforms better than it buys kill chains — the linked system of sensors, decisions, and interceptors — and counter-drone defense demands the reverse.

Meanwhile, Russia, working from Iranian Shahed blueprints, scaled launches to more than 44,000 in the first 10 months of 2025, four times the previous year’s rate. The United States is now in an industrial competition and, on current trajectory, losing it on volume.

The tactical lessons from Ukraine are hardly mysterious. Detect early, match the weapon to the threat, and keep defenses mobile. Ukraine’s mobile fire groups — pickup trucks with machine guns and thermal imagers — proved effective enough that Russia rushed to copy them, with limited success. Israel’s Iron Beam laser intercepts threats at roughly $2 to $5 per shot. These systems work.

The problem is that “works in Ukraine” and “enters U.S. inventory at scale” are separated by an acquisition process that takes years, prizes exquisite performance over adequate volume, and was never designed for six-week innovation cycles.

The 2020 war in Nagorno-Karabakh offers another warning. Armenia’s air defenses collapsed not because drones are invincible, but because Armenia lacked modern, layered defenses. Institutional neglect, not technological inevitability, proved decisive.

None of this means expensive interceptors are obsolete. Advanced threats still require advanced interceptors. And as CSIS has noted, a $2 million missile protecting a $2 billion ship and its crew is rational. The point is not to abandon high-end systems. It is to stop treating them as the first and only answer to every aerial threat and to build the lower tiers of the defense stack with the same urgency we bring to the top.

That means procurement reform that many defense insiders regard as somewhere between very hard and politically impossible. It means accepting lower unit performance in exchange for higher production volume, a trade the Pentagon’s acquisition culture instinctively resists. It means pressuring major defense contractors to share production with smaller, faster manufacturers.

Sophistication matters. Volume matters more. Flexibility may matter most of all.

Ukraine learned that lesson under bombardment, because it had no choice. The United States still has the luxury of learning it in advance.

The danger is that luxury breeds delay.

On May 8, the U.S. Department of War released an initial batch of over 160 never-before-seen declassified UAP/UFO files, including photos, videos, and reports spanning decades. Additional files are set to be released periodically as more documents are reviewed.

The Christian response to the ongoing file dump has been overwhelmingly cautionary, with several prominent evangelical leaders and figures interpreting the phenomena as demonic rather than extraterrestrial. Many have expressed concern that these revelations could shake foundational beliefs about creation or lead to spiritual confusion.

Rick Burgess, BlazeTV host of the spiritual warfare podcast “Strange Encounters,” is among those concerned that these “alien” files could lead believers astray.

Of all the Christian responses to the UFO files Rick has seen, Rick believes Josh Howerton, senior pastor of Lakepointe Church in Dallas, Texas, has had the best.

He plays a viral clip of Howerton’s biblical response of the file dump and the concept of extraterrestrial life.

“If extraterrestrial life were discovered, that does not destroy your faith,” he declared, saying that Scripture uses the plural (heavens) when talking about God creating the cosmos.

Howerton explained that biblical writers understood there to be “three heavens” — “the sky where the clouds are … outer space, and … actual heaven — throne room of God.”

“So when Colossians 1 says that ‘He created all things in the heavens,’ if there were things that He created in the second heavens (outer space), well, hey guys, we have a category for that. They’re called angels and demons,” he clarified.

“What a lot of people may be calling aliens, the Bible might call things like cherubim, seraphim, angels, archangels, thrones, principalities, demons, and powers,” he added, noting that Satan is unironically referred to in Ephesians 2 as “the prince of the powers of the air.”

Saying that Jesus warned the end of days would mirror those of Noah, Howerton urged Christians to avoid getting sucked into the UFO/alien conversation: “If [demons are] … what we believe [aliens] are, I’m not going to mess with that stuff. One of Satan’s strategies is to get people to devote themselves to myths and endless speculation. … What’s the main thing? To know Christ, live free, and change the world for God’s glory. Don’t start giving level eight attention to things of level 0.002 importance.”

Rick calls Howerton’s response “excellent.”

“Don’t forget that Lucifer and all the demons that went with him, they are supernatural beings. They are not human, and apparently in that supernatural world, angels and demons can do things and appear in various images, things that human beings cannot do,” he reiterates.

Rick believes that Satan and his forces are going to use these UFO/alien files to “rattle the church” and make people “doubt that God exists.”

“There is a great deception coming,” he warns.

The Republican primary race in the 4th Congressional District of Kentucky between Ed Gallrein and incumbent Rep. Thomas Massie — the most expensive House primary in American history — came to a definitive end on Tuesday, and President Donald Trump is no doubt pleased with the results.

With over 69% of the votes in, NBC News called the primary for Gallrein, who was leading Massie by over 7,000 votes and roughly nine percentage points. At 7:41 p.m. ET, Decision Desk HQ announced Gallrein as the projected winner as well.

‘Ed Gallrein, a successful Kentucky farmer, and American War Hero … only ran because he thought that Massie was so disloyal and disrespectful to your President.’

Gallrein — the Navy SEAL veteran backed by Trump, War Secretary Pete Hegseth, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, and other powerful forces — stated when launching his campaign in October, “This district is Trump Country. The president doesn’t need obstacles in Congress — he needs backup. I’ll defeat Thomas Massie, stand shoulder to shoulder with President Trump, and deliver the America First results Kentuckians voted for.”

Massie said of Gallrein’s candidacy: “The uniparty in DC finally found someone willing to be a rubber stamp for globalist billionaires, endless debt, foreign aid, and forever wars in failed candidate and Lindsey Graham donor Ed Gallrein.”

In the months since, both candidates have hammered home these critiques — Massie framing Gallrein as a top choice for foreign or dual-national elites and Gallrein framing the incumbent in turn as an obstructionist “turncoat.”

Trump has been politically invested in this race, having vowed in March 2025 to “lead the charge” against Massie, anointed Gallrein as the challenger, and routinely attacked the incumbent online and in interviews.

Days before the polls closed, Trump wrote, “Kentucky, get this LOSER out of politics in Tuesday’s Election. He is nicknamed Rand Paul Jr., another real ‘beauty,’ because of his absolutely terrible voting habits. Vote for Ed Gallrein, a successful Kentucky farmer, and American War Hero, who only ran because he thought that Massie was so disloyal and disrespectful to your President, ME!”

Trump’s successful campaign against Massie comes hot on the heels of his ouster of Sen. Bill Cassidy, who flunked in the Republican Louisiana primary on Saturday.

The president shared a picture of Gallrein just before 8 p.m. ET on Truth Social celebrating his victory.

AIPAC and the Republican Jewish Coalition were also heavily invested in the race, having spent millions to unseat Massie, who has in recent years voted against funding Israel’s aerial defense; criticized Israel’s “indiscriminate bombing” in Gaza; criticized Israeli influence on Congress; and opposed the joint U.S.-Israeli operations in Iran.

Massie, who has been in office since 2012, emphasized that the election had become “an inflection point for our whole country.” Evidently, this pivotal moment favored the challenger from Shelby County.

A controversial Democratic candidate for the U.S. House said that she would convert an ICE detention center into an internment camp for “American Zionists” if she won.

Maureen Galindo is a sex therapist and single mother of three children who is running for the 35th congressional district in Texas.

‘I’ll start the process of having all American candidates and elected officials who knowingly accepted Israeli-affiliated money tried for treason.’

She posted the bizarre campaign promise on her Instagram account over the weekend.

“She’ll turn Karnes ICE Detention Center into a prison for American Zionists and former ICE officers for human trafficking,” she wrote about herself in the third person.

“It will also be a castration processing center for pedophiles, which will probably be most of the Zionists,” she added.

Galindo is vying against former Bexar County Public Information Officer Johnny Garcia in the Democratic primary runoff, which is scheduled for May 26.

She said Garcia should be tried for treason for being supported by Israel and added that any other politician supported by Israel should be tried for treason.

“In fact, as soon as I’m elected, I’ll start the process of having all American candidates and elected officials who knowingly accepted Israeli-affiliated money tried for treason,” she said.

She has also claimed that the Jews own Hollywood and use “books and movies to create realities.”

Her rhetoric has been condemned by state Rep. James Talarico (D), who is running for one of two U.S. Senate seats for Texas.

“This anti-Semitic rhetoric has no place in our politics,” he said. “We need leadership in both parties willing to stand up and call out hate wherever it rears its ugly head.”

He said he would not campaign alongside Galindo, even if she won the runoff election against Garcia.

“I stand with Jews, and the Jews are saying that Zionists are not real Jews,” Galindo previously said.

Galindo, who runs Exulted Sex Therapy in San Antonio, also ran for city council in that city. She reportedly offered “kinky birthchart readings” and “live tarot therapy” to “empower individuals through the exploration of their sexuality, spirituality, and the stars.”

The candidate backed by President Donald Trump to replace Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) won quickly after the polls closed in Kentucky Tuesday evening.

Despite only 7% of precincts reporting, CBS News declared Rep. Andy Barr (R) the winner after he garnered an impressive 62.7% of the vote, compared to 28.7% for his closest competitor, former Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron.

‘Like President Trump said, Andy knows what it takes to get things done and deliver BIG for the America First agenda.’

The seat in the U.S. Senate is soon to be vacated after McConnell announced in February that he was not seeking re-election in what would have been his eighth term in office.

The Republican primary contest had been heated until the president called on former candidate Nate Morris to drop out of the race in exchange for an ambassador position. Morris went on to endorse Barr after dropping out.

Prior to dropping out, Morris called both Barr and Cameron “puppets” belonging to McConnell.

Barr will go on to face a Democratic candidate in the general election in November, but he is very likely to win in the far-right Republican state.

Trump described Barr as “a wonderful man who’s been with me all the way” during a Trump rally, according to video posted by WHAS-TV.

“Congratulations to Kentucky’s next senator, Andy Barr. Andy is a proven conservative champion who puts Kentucky first,” Republican Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina said on social media.

Morris had gotten an enormous boost from Elon Musk in January when the tech billionaire donated $10 million to the Fight for Kentucky super PAC, which supported Morris.

“Like President Trump said, Andy knows what it takes to get things done and deliver BIG for the America First agenda,” Morris said on social media after dropping out.
