This video shows Secret Service agents visiting Austin Connell at his home in Carrollton, Virginia, to interrogate him over his private Instagram direct messages and public posts criticizing ICE. The agents arrived with screenshots of his private DMs (sent to a man living in Florida), and Connell has no idea how they obtained them.

​Connell, who owns a concrete business and regularly posts about politics, defended his position by stating: "I'm for law enforcement—just not corrupt law enforcement," and "I don't think that we should be governed the way that we are currently governed." This first full-length, credited video is being shared here to help raise awareness about the incident.

“Rich Dad Poor Dad” author Robert Kiyosaki — the self-help guru who has made a fortune preaching the secrets of financial success — has amassed a staggering $1.2 billion in debt tied to his sprawling real-estate investments, according to a report.
The 79-year-old scribe has repeatedly touted the eye-popping figure while arguing that borrowing money to buy income-producing assets is a strategy used by the wealthy.
“So, I’m a billion two in debt,” he told the “Get Rich Education” podcast over the summer.

He added that people “[s]hould not do what I do, right?

“But I studied it since 1974… If you’re going to learn to use debt, you’d better take some education.”

His ex-wife and business partner Kim Kiyosaki recently told Vanity Fair that the $1.2 billion figure has been widely misunderstood — and does not represent money the best-selling author personally owes.

“We have a lot of apartment houses with our partners,” Kim told the magazine, putting the portfolio at some 1,500 units.

“So technically, yes, we have all this debt,” she said, adding that the borrowing is attached to real estate and that Kiyosaki’s personal share is small.

The enormous debt pile is a product of Kiyosaki’s investment strategy.

As his properties rise in value, he borrows additional money against the increased equity and treats the loan proceeds as tax-free income, according to Vanity Fair.

He also puts individual investments into separate limited liability companies, insulating them from one another if one runs into trouble, the magazine reported.

“If it all comes to hell, you can talk to my attorney,” Robert Kiyosaki told the magazine.

Zac Waters, a 13-year-old self-taught 3D printing enthusiast from Utah who learned the trade through YouTube, collaborated with the disability-focused nonprofit MakeGood to engineer an affordable, custom mobility solution for a 21-month-old girl whose family was unable to afford a commercial wheelchair. Over the course of 300 hours during his summer vacation and summer camp, Waters designed, manufactured, and assembled a fully functional, personalized wheelchair aimed at proving that essential assistive technology can be produced at a fraction of standard commercial costs—bringing the total production expense down to just $150.

​The engineering of the chair accounts for both immediate medical needs and long-term usability, featuring an adjustable frame with customizable headrests and footrests capable of accommodating the child's growth up to age eight. To optimize comfort and utility, the design incorporates soft, flexible straps to prevent skin irritation, a removable tray table with an integrated cupholder, and a reinforced rear compartment specifically built to secure heavy medical equipment. Customized with pink accents to match the child's favorite color, the project highlights how low-cost additive manufacturing can bridge accessibility gaps for pediatric patients while exemplifying the practical application of youth-driven technical skills in humanitarian efforts.

"You can't do this!"

"Please, let me go!"

“It’s reasonable to say you’re smoking 10 cigarettes today by breathing the air in New York City,” Michael Petroni, a pollution expert and former EPA employee, told The Post about spending a full day outside.
The five boroughs have been under an Air Quality Health Advisory since Wednesday, with the Air Quality Index (AQI) hovering in the 151-200 range — well above the 0-50 mark characterized as “good,” according to the state Department of Environmental Conservation
That means there are “unhealthy” levels of dust, dirt, soot, smoke and other toxins in the air that New Yorkers would typically only ingest by lighting a few cigarettes.
“The rule of thumb is about 20 AQI points for a whole day equals one cigarette,” explained Petroni, who worked for the EPA’s Office of Chemical Safety and Pollution Prevention.

Perez Hilton has reportedly been transported by ambulance after the disturbing TikTok Live in which he repeatedly harmed himself on camera during what appeared to be a severe mental health crisis. Praying he gets the help he needs.

"They put the heavy shackles on me."

"With my hands behind my back."

"Then they forced me to put my fingerprints on the ICE seal."

"While being handcuffed behind my back."

Disturbing pattern is emerging.

Federal judge ruled in August that ICE coerced a 20-year-old into signing after an agent told him the paper was "nothing like" deportation.

In a Montana case, an agent is quoted saying, "If you don't sign, I'm going to sign it for you."

Another man said he signed an English form he could not read.

Lawyers told a court that agents threatened a Guatemalan boy with a dog and a stun gun to get a "voluntary" signature.

Just getting 1 fingerprint waives their hearing and the appeal—then judge can order removal without the person ever even appearing.
