How Your Private Data Is Packaged, Sold, and Deployed to Target You | Joe Weil

[RUSH TRANSCRIPT BELOW] Most Americans have little understanding of the vast amount of private data harvested from their smartphones by third parties, said Joe Weil, a former Apple product manager and the founder of Unplugged.
Where you go, who you associate with, what you like, is all easily discoverable, Weil said.
“It’s publicly available. It’s purchasable.”
What’s even worse is that the Fourth Amendment does not protect this advertising data, he said. The U.S. government, for example, does not require a warrant to access it.
Data brokers sell this data freely, and by applying just a few filters, anyone—foreign governments, intelligence services, criminal cartels—can easily triangulate it to surveil and target individual people or groups, Weil said.
“We can’t do [surveillance] in China. They can do it here, and it’s a huge vulnerability. They can easily find the people they want to take off the board—it’s mapped out from our phones,” he said.
Weil worked for 10 years at Apple in product strategy before founding Unplugged, a tech company that has built a smartphone designed to block tracking, data harvesting, and behavioral profiling at the system level.​

EXCLUSIVE: HOW TRUMP’S OWN APPOINTEES AIDED RUSSIAGATE PLOT AGAINST HIM

EXCLUSIVE:  HOW TRUMP’S OWN APPOINTEES AIDED RUSSIAGATE PLOT AGAINST HIM
By Paul Sperry  Nov 20 2025  Real Clear Investigations

When Obama administration officials manufactured U.S. intelligence tying Donald Trump to Moscow following his stunning 2016 victory, they had no idea Trump’s own political appointees would help them undermine Trump’s presidency – and his chances of reelection in 2020.

RCI’s review of recently declassified documents and exclusive interviews with former Trump officials reveals for the first time how key members of Trump’s cabinet and other appointees during his first term shrouded the previous administration’s machinations and either deliberately or inadvertently misled the public into thinking the fake Russiagate intelligence was real.

Former Special Counsel John Durham, former National Security Adviser John Bolton, former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, and former CIA Director Gina Haspel dismissed or buried evidence that cast doubt on a foundational document of the Russigate hoax – the Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) prepared in the waning days of the Obama administration.

Durham, who was appointed by Attorney General William Barr, stopped the declassification and release of key exculpatory evidence debunking the ICA on the eve of the 2020 election, which has not been reported previously.

The ICA helped frame the false narrative, which led to multiple espionage investigations that dogged Trump throughout his first term: that Russian President Vladimir Putin had authorized dirty tricks to help Trump win the 2016 election. A 2018 government review of that document, which was chiefly prepared by Obama’s CIA Director John Brennan and his National Intelligence Director James Clapper, found that its most explosive claims were based on “one scant, unclear and unverifiable fragment of a sentence from one of the substandard [intelligence] reports,” according to a recently declassified report that Trump administration and, later, Biden administration officials had helped keep locked away in a CIA vault. It also cited as supporting intelligence debunked political dirt paid for by Hillary Clinton’s campaign.

THE LARGEST FUNDER OF AL-SHABAAB IS THE MINNESOTA TAXPEYER

 

“The Largest Funder of Al-Shabaab Is the Minnesota Taxpayer”
Some of the state’s welfare funds Ended Up In the Hands Of A Terror Group
By Ryan Thorpe and Christopher F Rufo     November 19, 2025

Minnesota is drowning in fraud. Billions in taxpayer dollars have been stolen during the administration of Governor Tim Walz alone. Democratic state officials, overseeing one of the most generous welfare regimes in the country, are asleep at the switch. And the media, duty-bound by progressive pieties, refuse to connect the dots.

In many cases, the fraud has allegedly been perpetrated by members of Minnesota’s sizeable Somali community. Federal counterterrorism sources confirm that millions of dollars in stolen funds have been sent back to Somalia, where they ultimately landed in the hands of the terror group Al-Shabaab. As one confidential source put it: “The largest funder of Al-Shabaab is the Minnesota taxpayer.”

Our investigation shows what happens when a tribal mindset meets a bleeding-heart bureaucracy, when imported clan loyalties collide with a political class too timid to offend, and when accusations of racism are cynically deployed to shield criminal behavior. The predictable result is graft, with taxpayers left to foot the bill.

If you were to design a welfare program to facilitate fraud, it would probably look a lot like Minnesota’s Medicaid Housing Stabilization Services program. The HSS program, the first of its kind in the country, was launched with a noble goal: to help seniors, addicts, the disabled, and the mentally ill secure housing. It was designed with “low barriers to entry” and “minimal requirements for reimbursement.” Nonetheless, before the program went live in 2020, officials pegged its annual estimated price tag at $2.6 million.

Costs quickly spiraled out of control. In 2021, the program paid out more than $21 million in claims. In the following years, annual costs shot up to $42 million, then $74 million, then $104 million. During the first six months of 2025, payouts totaled $61 million.

CAIR PAYS $1,000 TO ANTI-ISRAEL AGITATORS

 

 
 

Muslim group CAIR cutting $1,000 checks for anti-Israel agitators who have been disciplined by colleges

EXCERPT FROM THIS ARTICLE:  CAIR says it is the largest Muslim charity in the US, receiving hundreds of thousands in donations from progressive nonprofits, including Tides Foundation and the California-based Weingart Foundation…….CAIR’s origins can be traced to Middle East based groups the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas in the late 1980s and early 1990s.

Federal court records from the Holy Land Foundation terrorism-financing trial identified CAIR as an unindicted co-conspirator, according to legal documents which found “ample evidence” connecting CAIR to the Palestine Committee, a US-based group founded by the Muslim Brotherhood to advance Hamas, according to the report.

 

WHO WILL FIX OBAMACARE ?

What Will Republicans Do About ObamaCare?

Now that the Schumer Shutdown is over and Democrats failed in their demands, the GOP has an opportunity to finally lead on healthcare policy.

By Brian Mark Weber   November 14, 2025

After weeks of Republicans and Democrats playing chicken over the government shutdown, Democrats finally caved under pressure.

They also abandoned a key piece of the strategy they had all along, leaving many on the Left so upset that they’re calling for Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer to step aside.

“To secure the agreement,” explain the editors at National Review, “Democrats abandoned a demand that was central to the shutdown, which was that Republicans expand Obamacare. Instead, the agreement would do no more than promise a vote on extending the Covid-era subsidies for purchasing insurance on Obamacare’s exchanges that are set to expire at the end of the year.”

Republicans are slapping themselves on the back and celebrating what amounts to a significant but short-term political victory. Parts of the government are now funded through next September, while most things are only funded through the end of January. That means we might be heading into another shutdown right after the holidays.

Democrats are right to claim healthcare is exorbitantly expensive for millions of Americans, but ObamaCare isn’t the solution. It’s the cause.

Matt Margolis writes at PJ Media, “Every year, the federal government quietly funnels around $40 billion straight to insurance companies through cost-sharing reduction subsidies. These payments get sent automatically. There’s no congressional vote, no annual debate, no accountability. The money just flows. Meanwhile, everyday Americans still face insane deductibles and co-pays high enough to make anyone think twice before setting foot in a doctor’s office. The supposed ‘affordability’ is an illusion built on taxpayer-funded handouts that prop up corporate profits.”

“Nonprofit hospitals, the ones constantly waving the banner of community service, aren’t exactly hurting, either,” adds Margolis. “They rake in more than $125 billion every year in tax breaks because of their ‘nonprofit’ status. That means they skip out on property, income, and sales taxes, while still cashing in from every direction. Medicare alone overpays them by another $28 billion each year, and hospitals charge anywhere from 60–80% more than independent doctors for the exact same procedures.”

That’s why funding ObamaCare isn’t helping to lower healthcare costs for people who need it most. The problem is that neither side has a real plan. Democrats want more spending, while Republicans have no solution other than kicking the can down the road.

Back in 2010, Republicans fought hard to stop Democrats from realizing their dream of government-run healthcare, but it passed anyway without any GOP votes. Then, in 2017, Republicans thought they had enough support to repeal ObamaCare until the late Senator John McCain cast the tiebreaking vote to save it, handing Democrats a political victory. Since then, Republicans have pledged to dismantle ObamaCare only to see their efforts fizzle out every time.

That’s why this dog and pony show about the government shutdown and healthcare is insulting to the American people. It’s one thing for Democrats to prey on the sentiments of people who need healthcare by creating yet another expensive and bureaucratic government program that doesn’t work, but it’s another for Republicans to pretend they’re going to do anything about it.

Hot Air’s David Strom makes a prediction: “Republicans will vote to extend most of the subsidies they have been refusing to vote for during the shutdown. It would be political suicide not to do so. What Republicans won’t do is put forward a permanent fix to a broken system, because too many people’s oxen would be gored.”

Strom adds, “Unraveling Obamacare and all the previous ‘fixes’ that destroyed our healthcare and insurance markets looks to be far too complicated and far too painful for people and institutions that benefit greatly from the system as it exists. Too many doctors, hospital systems, health insurers, and pharmacy benefit managers are profiting from the current system. Many people are enjoying access to luxury services that insurers are required to provide, which they would never choose to purchase on their own. Nobody has to shop for the best quality and prices, and nobody is forced to make tough choices about costs and benefits.”

Maybe President Donald Trump and the Republicans in Congress should take this opportunity to not merely keep Democrats from expanding funding for ObamaCare but to take the issue out of their hands entirely for the good of the healthcare system and the American people.

“Now that Obamacare is with us, the law cannot be reversed without a credible proposal for what should take its place,” note James C. Capretta and Robert E. Moffit at National Affairs. “What any effective solution must involve, however, is the creation of a true market in health coverage — one that drives efficiency through competition, and places health-care decisions in the hands of consumers and taxpayers, where they belong.”

The government shutdown is over, but neither party has the political courage to deal with serious issues that affect everyone, including ObamaCare. Republicans should enjoy their moment — they finally won a shutdown battle. Now, with the midterms on the horizon, it’s time to get serious and start finding real solutions to problems besetting the American people.

HE REFUSED BILLIONS FROM CHINA

He Refused Billions From China. Now They’re Trying to Destroy His Company | Declan Ganley

Declan Ganley’s company, Rivada Networks, is developing a technology that may revolutionize global connectivity and security—and it appears that the Chinese communist regime is desperately seeking to gain control of it.
As much as 99 percent of global internet traffic today relies on a series of subsea fiber-optic cables around the world that are vulnerable to natural disasters and attacks. Chinese cable-cutting incidents have shown how easily they can be sabotaged.
Ganley is working on something called the Outernet, a constellation of 600 Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites that would make up the world’s first self-contained communications network.
Unlike traditional satellite networks that route data back to Earth repeatedly, the satellites are interlinked by high-speed lasers and advanced onboard routers, making it possible for data to travel directly through space, touching the Earth only at the start and the final destination.
But progress has been slow. Why? Ganley refused to partner with Chinese companies on the project.
“They decided to launch a torrent, a tsunami of lawsuits that were baseless, that were unwinnable, that were almost cartoonish in their flakiness—but in the full knowledge that we would have to spend money to defend against these insane lawsuits,” he says.
So far, he and his company have already had to spend $36 million to defend against a flurry of lawsuits across multiple jurisdictions.
Nonetheless, he believes it’s a battle worth fighting.
“I know what the Outernet can do. I would rather burn it down than have the Communist Party of China have the Outernet. Our way of life could depend on them not having the Outernet,” Ganley said.
Ganley was one of the very early voices warning about the dangers of Chinese technology in Western telecommunications networks: “I know how dumb governments are. I saw them implement policies and regulations that allowed Huawei and China to dominate the global wireless industry and literally deploy 5G networks in Western democracies.”
“We have absolutely handed them data network dominance on a plate, and now they want this Outernet. Why do they want it? Because they want the fastest network in the world, the lowest latency network in the world, the most secure network in the world,” Ganley added.

ANTI ELLIS ISLAND IMMIGRATION

 

Confronting Anti-Ellis Island Immigration

Ellis Island built a nation through law and order; Biden’s border chaos dismantled it with lawlessness, division, and the greatest illegal influx in U.S. history.
By Victor Davis Hanson   November 13, 2015

Between 1892 and 1954, approximately 12 million immigrants arrived at the now-iconic Ellis Island to enter the U.S.—or nearly 200,000 legal entries per year.

All were registered, documented, and given rudimentary health exams.

They arrived as rich and poor, white and non-white, and, without exception, legally.

With the gradual decline of such great influxes, Ellis Island finally ceased operating roughly 71 years ago.

Yet Ellis Island’s successful tenure offers a sharp contrast to the failures of our recent open-border catastrophes.

Americans will never know how many immigrants swarmed the southern border between 2021 and 2025, when Joe Biden and his impeached Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas destroyed federal immigration law as we once knew it.

By design, they allowed between 10 and 12 million foreign nationals to make a mockery of federal immigration laws by swarming the southern border.

CLINTON CORRUPTION FILES

‘Clinton Corruption Files’: Bondi, Patel unleash new evidence about former first family foundation

Officials say evidence sent to Congress raises fresh concerns that government officials kept evidence from prosecutors.

By John Solomon   November 11, 2025

Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel have produced to Congress a new cache of documents showing how Bill and Hillary Clinton’s foundation collected donations from foreign and domestic interests seeking influence – raising fresh concerns that such evidence was kept from federal prosecutors who tried to investigate pay-to-play allegations against the former first family a decade ago.

Officials told Just the News that the documents were transmitted to the Senate Judiciary Committee in recent days and detail numerous instances of foreigners and even a U.S. defense contractor seeking to curry favor with the Clintons through donations to their family charity, including when Hillary Clinton served as secretary of State. Bill Clinton was the U.S. president from 1993 to 2001.

The officials said some of the evidence was flagged by whistleblowers who claimed such evidence was kept from a corruption investigation that was being conducted in 2015 by the Little Rock, Ark., U.S. attorney’s office before it was shut down by the Obama administration’s Justice Department.

The documents will make clear that there was an effort “to obstruct legitimate inquiries into the Foundation by blocking real investigation by line-level FBI agents and DOJ field prosecutors and keeping them from following the money,” said one official directly familiar with the documents.

TRUMP PARDONS THOSE WHO QUESTIONED 2020 ELECTION

Trump Pardons Right a Grievous Wrong

By issuing pardons to those who helped him contest the rigged election of 2020, Donald Trump made clear once again that a weaponized government is a government run amok.

by Douglas Andrews   November 10, 2025

Last night, President Donald Trump exercised his Article II, Section 2 power to grant pardons to some of his most intrepid supporters during the chaotic aftermath of the rigged 2020 election. In doing so, he at least partially righted some of the most grievous wrongs of the Autopen Administration.

The Constitution states that the president has the authority to “grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offenses against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment.” Read it and weep, you lawfare lefties.

The only question I have is: What took Trump so long? The pardons, after all, come months after the president pardoned approximately 1,500 January 6 defendants.

As the proclamation issued last night by Trump’s pardon attorney, Ed Martin, put it, the pardon extends “to all United States citizens for conduct relating to the advice, creation, organization, execution, submission, support, voting, activities, participation in, or advocacy for or of any slate or proposed slate of Presidential electors, whether or not recognized by any State or State official, in connection with the 2020 Presidential Election, as well for any conduct relating to their efforts to expose voting fraud and vulnerabilities in the 2020 Presidential Election.”

As Martin put it in a separate post: “POTUS encouraged us to look at two categories of Americans especially: First, those who needed and deserved clemency, especially long serving inmates who are ready to be released. Second, he wanted us to look at those people who had been targeted by the Biden administration. The targeted is a huge group of Americans.”

Or, more succinctly, as Martin said back in May: “No MAGA left behind.”

When Trump won reelection resoundingly last year, I figured it was only a matter of time before such legal stalwarts as Rudy Giuliani and John Eastman, as well as key advisers such as then-Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, were pardoned. For example, the lawfare leveled against Eastman, a constitutional scholar, was nothing short of vile. As I wrote in April of last year:

MEDIA – BLAMING REPUBLICANS FOR SHUTDOWN

 

Media’s message: Don’t blame Democrats for the shutdown

By Susan Ferrechio  Nov 7,2025

The media’s favorable coverage of Democrats during the record-breaking government shutdown is overwhelmingly one-sided and has shielded them from blame, even though party lawmakers have voted more than a dozen times to block reopening the government, an analysis found. 

Democrats are insisting the shutdown, and all the pain and inconvenience that goes along with it, is the fault of the GOP. Few mainstream news outlets are challenging their claims.

 

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul Friday morning told angry airline passengers who faced canceled flights due to the lapse in federal funding to “thank Trump and Washington Republicans,” and then called on the Republican-led House and Senate and President Trump to “end the GOP shutdown.”

It may sound like gaslighting, because Senate Democrats are holding back the votes needed to pass a measure to fund the government and restart services. 

But many media outlets have largely echoed Ms. Hochul’s point of view, and it’s reflected in polls that show the public largely blames the GOP for the shutdown, despite Democrats’ attempts to force Republicans to expand extra health care subsidies. 

 

For the past month, ABC, CBS, and NBC, where millions get their news, “have hammered both Congressional Republicans and President Trump with a wall of negative shutdown coverage, while largely shielding Democrats from blame for the now-historic gridlock,” a Media Research Center analysis found.

Analysts who watched 67 reports about the government shutdown across the three networks during  October found the vast majority heavily favored the Democratic Party’s spin. 

Just 12 reports — less than 20% of the coverage — informed viewers that Democrats had refused to vote for a stopgap spending bill that would reopen the government. 

Instead, ABC News and the other networks flipped the narrative, defending Democrats for “fighting for an extension” of enhanced Obamacare tax credits and warning that without the subsidies, health care premiums “could go up 169%.”

Dan Schneider, vice president for free speech at the Media Research Center. said the one-sided coverage worsens the public’s growing mistrust of the media. 

“With Senate Democrats exclusively to blame for the longest shutdown in our history, one might hope that the media would try to repair their tattered reputation and shoot straight for once. But instead the evidence shows that the media are far more interested in helping Democrats retake Congress than they are in actually providing objective news to the public,” Mr. Schneider said. 

The subsidies were meant to expire after the pandemic, and Democrats who added them to a massive COVID-19 spending bill could have made them permanent, but didn’t to reduce the cost of the legislation. 

Now Democrats want the GOP-led House and Senate to make the subsidies permanent, at a cost nearly half a trillion dollars over the next decade. Republicans are refusing the party’s demands and said the health care law must be reformed to rein in sky-high costs.

TRUMP MAKES VISA FRAUD COSTLY AGAIN

Trump Makes Visa Fraud Costly Again

Mail?url=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic Asset.amac.us%2Fwp Content%2Fuploads%2F2025%2F11%2F06094933%2Ftrump Gold Card Visa Fraud

If you ever wondered what would happen if you combined a Ponzi scheme, a Chinese sweatshop, and a Nigerian email scam, the answer is America’s visa system.

Our visa system was supposed to bring in the world’s best and brightest. Instead, it has devolved into one of the biggest frauds ever perpetrated on the American people.

Two of the worst offenders are the H-1B and F-1 programs. The H-1B is a “temporary” work visa that supposedly lets companies hire “highly skilled” foreign workers when they can’t find qualified Americans. In reality, it’s almost never temporary, the workers are low skill, and the companies can find Americans, but don’t want to pay them fair wages – or they’re just flatly discriminating against native-born workers.

The F-1, meanwhile, is the student visa that supposedly brings the world’s best minds to study in America, but increasingly attracts the world’s most creative scammers.

Both were sold as merit-based programs that would benefit America. Both turned into slot machines for fraud.

Every spring, the H-1B program gets flooded with applications filed by well-known American companies. The scale is staggering. Last year, the government received more than 750,000 H-1B applications for just 85,000 slots – even as tens of thousands of native-born Americans were actively looking for jobs.

Companies routinely lie that they need to import foreign talent. They really don’t. They just prefer workers who cost less and are too afraid to quit. You see, when a foreign worker receives an H-1B visa, it is tied to their employer, meaning if they quit their job, they immediately risk deportation. You may remember this economic system by its previous name: indentured servitude.

But the scam really kicks into high gear when an employer wants to transform a temporary H-1B worker into a permanent Green Card holder. Before they can do that, employers first have to test the marketplace to see if there are any qualified Americans interested in the job. If not, then the foreign worker can move forward with their Green Card application.

To avoid getting applications from Americans, the employers “advertise” these jobs in places where no American will ever see them – buried on obscure websites or in the back pages of small-town newspapers. When no one applies, they tell the government, “See? No qualified Americans!” and the visas roll in.

The F-1 student visa system is just as rotten. Student visas are supposed to let foreign nationals come here to study at legitimate universities, then return home after graduation. In reality, it’s become one of Washington’s most abused immigration loopholes.
