About 200 people were detained in North Carolina. Gallaghar said the arrests could continue if ICE is not allowed to access county jails.

World is literally a greener place than it was 20 years ago, according to NASA data…
February 12, 2019
The 20-year-long data record was produced by an instrument on board two satellites orbiting the planet and capturing up to four shots of every place on Earth every day for the last 20 years.
As a result, the data set is staggering in size, but positive in message: as a species, we have ‘greened’ an area equivalent to that of all the Amazon rainforests, at a rate of more than two million square miles of extra green leaf area per year (or a roughly five percent increase compared to the early 2000s).

It’s anybody’s guess how many names will ultimately appear on the ballots of caucus and primary voters, but what has become clear is that the more the pool of candidates grows, the more enticing it is for lawmakers to test the water. On Sunday, Sen. Michael Bennet (D-CO) teased a potential run during an appearance on Meet the Press. A day later, Rep. Seth Moulton (D-MA) did the same while speaking to BuzzFeed News.

February 12, 2019
Target updated its smartphone app last Wednesday after a two-month investigation by Minneapolis TV station KARE-TV discovered the retail giant was advertising certain items for one price outside of stores, only to hike the price when a person entered a Target - in one case, by as much as nearly $150.
[...]
The difference boiled down to Target offering a lower price online vs. in-store, however the online-only pricing wasn't made clear. As KARE-TV noted, "Even if you scan the bar codes of the products on the shelves, which Target suggests customers do to see Cartwheel coupon offers on the app, the app gives no indication that certain prices were far cheaper at Target.com."LGBT Activists Teaching Judges To Yank Kids From Parents Who Won’t Transgender Them…
February 12, 2019
On Thursday, the Health and Human Services committee of the South Dakota House killed a bill that would have protected the right of parents to refuse to consent to medical or psychological treatment for a child suffering from gender dysphoria if the treatment “would induce, confirm, or promote the child’s belief that the child’s sex or gender identity is different from the child’s sex presented at birth.” Proposed House Bill 1205 also provided that “no public authority or official of this state may take any adverse action against a parent for exercising this right.”

We have since moved on to the second wave, Cretella told The Federalist. “The second wave is going on now, with emergency room staff, therapists, or doctors reporting parents to Child Protective Services who refuse to affirm their child’s false gender.”Florida School Hires 2 Combat Veterans to Take Down Active Shooters…

Legislation passed after the Parkland massacre last year requires schools in Florida to have at least one “safe-school officer.” Manatee School for the Arts, a charter for 2,100 middle and high school students, is the only school in Manatee County that chose to hire guards who carry rifles, according to the Manatee County Sheriff’s Department, which trained the guards.
