Flock Safety is touting emotional stories about automatic license plate readers (ALPRs) helping rescue children as concerns about the dangers of mass surveillance grow.

The video begins with 911 audio of a distraught woman telling the operator that her son had been kidnapped. It also includes clips that purport to show law enforcement rescuing a six-year-old nonverbal boy, finding a 14-month-old baby, and saving a two-year-old boy who asks, "Where's my mom?"

"Every child in this video is home tonight because Flock gave officers the right information at the right second," Sidhu wrote.

"That's the mission. That's the whole company. I wouldn't trade that for anything," he added.

But as Flock becomes one of the nation's largest providers of ALPR systems, many Americans are beginning to question whether the constant monitoring of everyday citizens is legal and

Police arrested a Hawaii Democratic congressional candidate Aug. 1 after a violent altercation with another beachgoer at Keawakapu Beach in South Kihei, Hawaii.

Authorities charged 40-year-old Kirill Basin with two counts of first-degree terroristic threatening after the altercation with a 61-year-old man, according to Hawaii News Now. Basin is running to unseat incumbent Democratic Rep. Jill Tokuda. (RELATED: 'Reformed' Ex-Con Turned Democrat Lawmaker Picks Up Yet Another Criminal Charge)

Police said the incident began when Basin threatened the bystander, who had asked him to turn down his music, according to the outlet.

Basin allegedly suggested he had a firearm and threatened to shoot the man's wife. A physical altercation ensued, during which Basin allegedly picked up a knife, using it to threaten other beachgoers before throwing it into the ocean.

The altercation appeared to end when the 61-year-old man knocked out Basin with a single punch to the face, video posted to social media shows.

Amid a series of record and near-record profits being reported by the world's corporate major integrated oil companies, venerable British major BP announced this week its intent to sell off its position in the UK-governed portion of the North Sea.

The move signals an end of a 63-year era in which BP was the first to run seismic surveys in a search for oil and gas resources in 1963, and obtained one of the earliest leases auctioned by the British government in 1964. (RELATED: Lost In The Iran Noise: American Energy Leadership Still Matters)

For CEO Meg O'Neill, it is also a signal that her management team is intent on making moves from a reality-based standpoint rather than the aspirational, green-narrative-based strategies deployed since the year 2000. That was the year when then-CEO John Browne decided to change the company's name from British Petroleum to Beyond Petroleum, one of the most in-your-face virtue signals of all time.

Since that move, BP has become increasingly less competitive with former peer companies like Shell, Chevron and ExxonMobil as it

The New York Times Magazine conducted a hands-on interview with Dr. Sean O'Mara, who has been a dietary advisor to some of President Donald Trump's closest cabinet members.

The Times Magazine editor Willy Staley spoke with O'Mara and even tried his diet for a week. O'Mara also informed the writer that when you eat in accordance with his dietary rules, you no longer need to use toilet paper.

"Animals in the wild have no residual stool on their anus," O'Mara explained to the outlet. What happens to bathroom visits when you eat in accordance with the steak-sauerkraut diet: they become "odorless, wipe-free, over in three seconds and 'nearly orgasmic,'" O'Mara said, according to the interview.

The Trump administration reportedly does not plan to release its highly anticipated artificial intelligence oversight framework to the public after presenting it to technology giants.

The White House on Tuesday held a meeting with AI industry partners to discuss a completed framework to test certain AI models' capabilities. The White House does not plan to release its framework to the public, according to Axios, citing three sources familiar with the plans. It remains unclear which "trusted partners" would also have access to frontier AI models before the frontier AI models' public release.

President Donald Trump wrote an executive order in June calling for the creation of AI safety testing framework.

The White House did not immediately respond to a Daily Caller News Foundation request for comment, citing sources familiar with the matter.

The administration's AI testing plan will exclude open-source AI models from testing, Axios reported.

Nvidia and other developers of open-source models might have to submit their models as they become more advanced, the Wall Street Journal reported, referencing

Pete Buttigieg admitted on a podcast that the Biden administration's decision to leave Elon Musk out of the 2021 electric vehicles summit (EV) was a mistake.

During an appearance on "The Diary of a CEO with Steven Bartlett," the former U.S. Secretary of Transportation under Biden was asked about the decision not to include Tesla founder and CEO Elon Musk in the 2021 EV Summit: "That was a mistake; I was there for that."

"He is, if not single-handedly responsible, certainly the person most responsible for EV excellence on American soil. And he's saying, what the f**k?" Buttigieg said during his interview. "And I don't blame him for that."

Buttigieg explained the decision by saying, "This event was built to kind of celebrate the agreement that had been reached around tailpipe standards. And Tesla, because all they make are EVs, doesn't even have tailpipes, and so people weren't really thinking about inviting Tesla."

Pete Buttigieg admits the White House snubbing Elon at the 2021 EV Summit was a mistake:

A federal judge ruled Wednesday that the National Firearms Act (NFA) no longer applies to suppressors and other items whose taxes were reduced to $0 in July 2025.

United States District Judge James Wesley Hendrix of the Northern District of Texas, a Trump appointee, granted a motion for summary judgement from attorneys representing the Silencer Shop Foundation Wednesday. In the 66-page opinion, Hendrix said that because taxes on suppressors, short-barreled rifles, short-barreled shotguns and other items had been reduced to $0 by legislation signed by President Donald Trump in July 2025, the registration and paperwork imposed by the NFA exceeded Congress' authority under the taxation power.

Hey y'all, welcome back to Unfit to Print.

Employers say losing access to 200,000 Haitian workers will force them to raise pay, recruit Americans and rethink how they operate.

They apparently consider that a crisis.

AMERICA'S DISPOSABLE WORKFORCE

Temporary Protected Status officially ended Wednesday for roughly 350,000 Haitians living in the United States.

About 200,000 of those Haitians hold jobs in the U.S. They are largely concentrated in health care, long-term caregiving, food service, warehouses and retail. Employers have reportedly spent weeks preparing for their departure by increasing signing bonuses, changing shifts and recruiting from local high schools and community colleges.

Read that again.

The prospect of losing hundreds of thousands of temporary, low-cost workers has inspired businesses to work harder to hire Americans.

Is that evidence that the labor market is breaking? Or evidence that it may actually start working as intended?

New documents declassified by the Trump administration show that hundreds of thousands of voter files were obtained from Maricopa County, Arizona, during the 2020 election, the Daily Caller learned.

An administration official briefed reporters on the new documents, which show that during the 2020 election, 633,000 voter registration files were obtained through the Maricopa County Registrar Office website. Of those files, 930 contained sensitive voter data, which included information about domestic violence victims, judges, and law enforcement officers, the official shared.

Another official shared with the Caller that they don't have evidence President Donald Trump was ever briefed on the findings, though they are continuing to search for such.

"The FBI spent significant resources solving this cybercrime. The attorney's office for the District of Arizona declined under the Joe Biden Justice Department to bring charges. The Arizona Attorney General's office declined to bring charges," one administration official told reporters. "The Maricopa County District Attorney's Office declined to bring child charges; the Pinal County, Arizona District Attorney's Office also,

A committee chaired by Republican Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul voted to hold Dr. Anthony Fauci in contempt of Congress on Thursday morning.

The Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee voted 8 to 7 to hold Fauci in contempt of the body, with all Republicans voting "aye" and all Democrats voting "nay."

"A subpoena is not an invitation. A subpoena with no consequences is not a subpoena, it's a suggestion. Seeking the truth is not a witch hunt. Accountability is not vengence. Accountability is what stands between the American people and a repeat of the mistakes and the very real consequences of the past," Paul said at the Thursday hearing.

Paul said that votes to hold witnesses in contempt should be rare, but that it was Congress's constitutional duty to apply oversight to the executive branch, especially when a witness is issued a sweeping pardon.

Democrats on the committee conceded an investigation into past mistakes was necessary, but said the investigation had focused too much on one individual. Paul countered that not a single Democrat on the committee had used its internal software to review the investigation's
