The Trump administration is preparing for what would amount to the largest single mass visa revocation in U.S. history, targeting the business and tourism visas of up to 200,000 foreigners who have applied for or are currently seeking asylum in the United States. These are nonimmigrant visas. B-1 and especially B-2 tourist visas are the nonimmigrant visas most frequently used and most often taken advantage of by people who later file for asylum after entering the United States legally. They are intended for short-term visitors who are expected to return home after their stay. According to State Department documents obtained by The Associated Press and two U.S. officials who were not authorized to discuss the plans publicly because the…Open

STONEZONE (Roger Stone) - SCOTUS Green-Lights Trump’s Crackdown on Mail-In Ballots for 2026 Midterms

On August 24, 2026, the Supreme Court issued an unsigned emergency order allowing the Trump administration to advance key parts of an executive order restricting mail-in voting.

On August 24, 2026, the Supreme Court issued an unsigned emergency order allowing the Trump administration to advance key parts of an executive order restricting mail-in voting. The ruling stayed in a lower-court injunction blocking implementation in 23 mostly Democratic-led states and the District of Columbia, clearing a path ahead of the November midterms. This is a procedural win for the administration that lets preparatory work proceed while preserving future judicial review once concrete actions are taken. The stay applied only to the injunction in the states’ lawsuit; a separate nationwide injunction against certain USPS rulemaking, issued by the same judge in a different case, remains in force and was not lifted.

AMERICANALMANAC (Alan Benson) - Residents say Spain's ancient Camino de Santiago pilgrimage is devolving into a party trail

Locals in Santiago de Compostela say rowdy crowds of pilgrims have turned one of Christianity's oldest sacred routes into something closer to a street festival, and the city's response so far amounts to a polite suggestion to keep it down.

Locals in Santiago de Compostela say rowdy crowds of pilgrims have turned one of Christianity's oldest sacred routes into something closer to a street festival, and the city's response so far amounts to a polite suggestion to keep it down. A viral video recently posted online showed young Spanish pilgrims dancing and chanting on the final stretch of the Camino de Santiago, the centuries-old Christian pilgrimage route that ends at the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela in northwest Spain. The scene, loud, exuberant, more spring break than spiritual journey, captured what residents say has become an unbearable pattern. Pilgrims arrive with trombones, tambourines, and guitars. They drink. They have picnics in historic plazas. At least one…Open

A 425-pound offensive lineman who once worked as a UPS driver after college offers dried up has transferred to Division I Mississippi Valley State, and he got there by emailing coaches every Sunday until one finally watched his tape.

A 425-pound offensive lineman who once worked as a UPS driver after college offers dried up has transferred to Division I Mississippi Valley State, and he got there by emailing coaches every Sunday until one finally watched his tape. David Jones, known as "Big Dave," spent years grinding through setbacks that would have ended most players' careers before they started. He graduated high school in 2022, struggled to land a college roster spot in what he described as the post-COVID recruiting landscape, bounced through a club program, and eventually went home to drive packages for UPS. Now he is headed to Mississippi Valley State as the heaviest listed player in Division I college football. Jones stands six feet tall and tips the scales at…Open
