Op-ed | Bestiality is no longer a disqualifier for the FBI | amNewYork (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We have all witnessed the questionable, and at times bizarre, conduct of FBI Director Kash Patel, but his September 15, 2026, appearance before the Senate Judiciary Committee underscored why he is widely regarded with disdain and disrespect.

Read excerpt
The misuse of certain new technology by law enforcement should concern us all: Flock Safety’s Electronic License Plate readers and the use of Shock Gloves. Backed by some of Silicon Valley’s top investors, Flock has become the most prominent player in the burgeoning license-plate-reader business. Flock said last year it had surpassed $300 million in annual revenue, with more than 120,000 shoebox-size cameras now scanning the roads of more than 6,000 communities and recording 20 billion plate sca
