At James Talarico’s church, where he said in a sermon that the “trans community” needs “abortion care,” they’re pushing trans books on kids Among the books in the church library is “This Book Is Gay,” which lays out the “ins and outs of gay sex” for kids
‘God Is Queer’: See The Sexually Explicit Books James Talarico’s Church Gives Kids
Texas Democrat James Talarico also believes “God is nonbinary” and that Jesus Christ was a “radical feminist.”
The Texas church where Democrat James Talarico has delivered his radical sermons is pushing radical gender ideology on children, featuring books filled with sexually explicit content and transgender ideology.
Talarico, the Democrat nominee for the crucial Senate election in November, attends St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Austin. There, children have access to a library stocked with “banned books” that promote ideas rejected by most Christians, including books that contain descriptions of anal rape, incest, and oral sex, according to a Daily Wire review of its offerings.
Books found in the St. Andrew’s catalog include the book “Gender Queer,” which includes illustrations of oral sex and masturbation, and the book “All Boys Aren’t Blue,” which discusses anal rape and incest.

I noticed DHS Secretary Mullin is threatening to pull Customs (CBP) out of airports in sanctuary cities, which would mean no arrivals of international flights at those airports, unless (presumably) the passengers cleared at a non sanctuary airport, then reboarded and proceeded on. The idea has met resistance from the travel industry and airlines.
Here is my view, retired US Customs, a field inspector of humble grade, not a headquarters guy, not a legal analyst: The ports of entry are established by Congress, so essentially closing any of them would provoke a Congressional response. However, many airports that process international flights are not, according to regulation, actually designated as
international airports. In California, for example , LAX and SFO are “landing rights” airports, and as such, the Secretary could simply deny landing rights to flights arriving from foreign. There are also “user fee” airports, with the same vulnerabity to having an aircraft denied landing. I await Secretary Mullin’s next move, with interest.
If I perhaps wanted to cause consternation to California, for example, without hurting the travel industry, import trade, or inconveniencing passengers, I might direct CBP to cease enforcing California’s liquor and wine import laws. Actually, CBP has no authority to do this, its basically a favor that started in the 1970s. Or, CBP could cease providing California with import entry information, which the tax authorities use to collect a user tax on imports. In fact, the California tax on imports functions as a tariff, which states are constitutionally prohibited from levying without Congressional approval. Duties collected by a state are required to be paid into the US Treasury. Perhaps a demand letter for the millions (?) owed, plus interest? Just throwing that out there.

Ex-Top Foreign Aid Official Cries As He Is Sentenced To Prison For Bribes
Former African Development Foundation CFO tells Judge Boasberg his “communal” “culture” led him to kickback scheme with fellow African immigrant
A former top foreign aid official was sentenced Wednesday to prison after admitting to accepting bribes and lying to federal investigators.
Mathieu Zahui, former chief financial officer of the African Development Foundation, cried in the courtroom and said, “I stand before the court with shame,” before being sentenced to four months in prison by Judge James Boasberg.
Zahui awarded more than $600,000 in no-bid contracts to a friend’s company based in Africa, which did no actual work. The friend paid him $12,000 in bribes for the contract, Zahui acknowledged in court papers. The African Development Foundation is a federal agency that is the “little brother” of USAID.
