Right. This is a really big story. So it went under the radar, but two years ago, the Census Bureau quietly released a stunning report admitting serious errors in their population count from 2020. Specifically, the Bureau massively undercounted the number of residents in red states and And overcounted the population of blue states.

Right. This is a really big story. So it went under the radar, but two years ago, the Census Bureau quietly released a stunning report admitting serious errors in their population count from 2020. Specifically, the Bureau massively undercounted the number of residents in red states and And overcounted the population of blue states.

Of the six states where they undercounted residents, five were red. And of the eight where they overcounted, seven were blue. For example, deep red Arkansas was undercounted by 5%. Tennessee, 4.7%. And Florida, 3.5%. That adds up to a million plus residents. While deep blue Delaware was overcounted by 5.5%. New York, 3.4%. Rhode Island by 5%. You get the idea.

They're massively important. As a result of those errors, Florida was denied two congressional seats they were entitled to, while Texas was denied another. And blue states like Minnesota, Rhode Island, and Colorado were all allowed to hold on to seats that they should have lost. So if the last census had been accurate, Republicans would likely be looking at a 10 to 12 seat majority majority.

instead of the six-seat majority that they currently hold. Now, in light of those errors, the Republican-led House Oversight Committee recently launched a probe of the Census Bureau demanding internal documents and communications related to their most recent census.

According to Chairman James Comer, the census, quote, appears to have tended to noticeably skew in favor of one political party over another. Now, they want answers about why that happened.

Well, the event started with major economic news. As Trump announced, the Japanese telecommunications company SoftBank had agreed to invest at least $100 billion in America over the next four years.

Yeah, this story has only gained attention as more and more sightings have been reported online. Like you said, not just in New Jersey, but a number of other surrounding states. Over the weekend, unknown drones were spotted over Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio. That's one of the largest such bases in the country.

That drone activity prompted officials to close airspace over the base for roughly four hours early Saturday morning. Here's just fascinating audio of air traffic control warning a plane of, quote, extreme UAS activity over the base. UAS means unmanned aircraft systems, aka drones.

Lawmakers have continued to express outrage with the Biden administration and Pentagon, saying the American people deserve answers. They say if the drones belong to the U.S., their silence on the matter is only creating more fear and confusion. And if they aren't ours, the Pentagon ought to be taking action to get them out of our airspace.
