Former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley said on Tuesday night that the Republican Party was a ship with a hole in it. Haley made the remarks during a CNN interview with Dana Bash as results from Michigan’s presidential primary were being broadcast live‚ which showed the former president beating Haley in the state by more than 30 points. “Look at what’s happened in Michigan‚” Haley said. “You look back in 2012‚ Michigan was such a bright spot. I was there. They had just passed right to work. They were winning seats up and down the ticket. It was just a great time for Michigan. But ever since Donald Trump became president‚ they’ve lost the governor’s mansion; they’ve lost the state House; they’ve lost the state Senate. The same thing has happened in Minnesota. I was in Colorado earlier today‚ they haven’t had a Republican get over 45% statewide since Donald Trump was president in 2016. It is a pattern we continue to see.” “You’re seeing the same thing whether you look at all the early states‚ Donald Trump didn’t get 40% of any of the Republican primary vote‚ it is a problem‚” Haley said‚ even though Trump has secured more than half the votes in every primary contest so far. “He’s not bringing people into the party‚ he’s pushing people out of the party‚” Haley continued. “Colorado today has 10% less Republicans than they had before when Donald Trump was president. And so this is just a pattern we continue to see.” “But more than that‚ look at what’s happened to the Republican Party. The Republican Party is now not just changing based on tone. It’s changing based on policy‚” she said. “Donald Trump’s not talking anything about shrinking government‚ stopping spending‚ cutting out the waste — none of that. And then he’s changed the whole idea of peace through strength. We used to always talk about the strength of our alliances. Now you’ve got Donald Trump basically saying he’s going to tell Putin to go and invade our allies who stood with us after 9/11. It’s all a shift.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP When pressed about why Republican voters were not choosing her‚ Haley said: “What I’m saying to my Republican Party family is‚ we’re in a ship with a hole in it and we can either go down with the ship and watch the country go socialist Left‚ or we can see that we need to take the life raft and move in a new direction.” “That’s what this is about. It is very telling when now the RNC is not about winning races up and down the ticket. The RNC is now about Donald Trump. They made that very clear. So now that’s become his legal slush fund‚” she stated. WATCH:

A Chinese national was detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement after the bust of a massive marijuana operation in rural south Georgia last week.  Georgia law enforcement arrested four Chinese nationals over a marijuana grow in Pierce County estimated to be valued at $22.5 million. Pierce County Sheriff Ramsey Bennett said that three of the Chinese nationals suspected of operating the grow appeared to be in the United States legally while the other appeared to be here illegally.  On Tuesday‚ the bust was announced by the Georgia Department of Agriculture‚ which aided Pierce County law enforcement in the investigation. The authorities initially believed that the building where the marijuana was being grown was being used to illegally process food.  The sheriff’s department charged Zhu Sheng Bing‚ Jinpeng Ma‚ Chenhui Shu‚ and Wei Sheng Deng with felony possession of marijuana and felony marijuana manufacturing. They are also expected to be hit with trafficking charges and were all denied bond. Deng was the only one detained by ICE.  Police raided the facility after a four-week investigation and found over 11‚000 marijuana plants at all stages of growth. Bennett estimated that the plant had been operational since 2022 and said that people at the organization had ties to Staten Island and Houston. It was the largest marijuana bust in county history.  Video posted by the Agricultural Department showed officers walking through the building examining the grow operation.  According to Georgia Agricultural Commissioner Tyler Harper‚ the operation was very high-tech and could be part of a national crime syndicate.  “This was a very sophisticated operation‚” Harper said at a press conference about the bust. “Hundreds of thousands of dollars in infrastructure in the facility and‚ as the sheriff mentioned‚ ties back to New York and Houston‚ which is indicative of a national crime syndicate.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP Harper said it was very much possible that the operation had “tentacles that spread out” from Pierce County. The investigation is still ongoing with federal law enforcement expected to get involved.  The bust comes as Chinese-backed illegal marijuana farms have been discovered in rural areas from Maine to Colorado to Tennessee. Earlier this year‚ top House Republicans asked for more information and updates on enforcement actions against illegal marijuana farms from the Department of Homeland Security and the Drug Enforcement Agency.  At the same time as illegal farms proliferate across the United States‚ there has been a surge of Chinese nationals illegally crossing the border. Over 20‚000 Chinese nationals have already been encountered at the border this fiscal year while only 450 were in 2021.

Privacy has been a cornerstone of the American ethos since the nation’s founding‚ with our country’s pioneers champing at the bit to establish a society where personal liberty is safeguarded. But as technology races forward at a blistering pace‚ those bedrock principles of privacy are under siege. The digital era has ushered in unprecedented capabilities for connectivity and convenience. We have devices that can respond to our voice commands‚ software that anticipates our needs‚ and platforms that connect us across continents. While the fruits of innovation are undoubtedly ripe with opportunity‚ they come with a thorny underbelly—a vulnerability in our privacy that is increasingly difficult to protect. When will America wake up and realize they are slaves! Stop the spying government! pic.twitter.com/KwC4cjcVkU — Alexander Oakes (@authoralexoakes) February 25‚ 2024 A growing chorus among privacy advocates is raising the alarm about the slow‚ insidious erosion of personal freedoms. They point out the myriad ways in which our data can be tracked‚ compiled‚ and analyzed. Have we consented to this trade-off? The collection and exploitation of personal data is often veiled in opacity‚ buried in byzantine terms of service‚ or completely shrouded from the public eye. BREAKING: IRS official Alex Mena who works in “Criminal Investigations” says @IRSNews‚ ‘has no problem going after the small people‚ putting people in prison‚ and destroying people’s lives.’ Mena ‘doubts the constitutionality’ of his employer‚ the IRS‚ using AI to access… pic.twitter.com/KexsoTlMbz — James O'Keefe (@JamesOKeefeIII) February 21‚ 2024 For conservatives‚ the issue of privacy is more than just personal—it’s fundamentally about limiting the power of the state and its reach into our lives. The Fourth Amendment guards against unreasonable searches and seizures‚ yet in the digital domain‚ these protections are nebulous at best. Intrusive surveillance tools can piece together our lives like a digital jigsaw puzzle‚ and the apparatus of state could have the means to wield an Orwellian oversight. Beyond governmental overreach‚ there is the menace of Big Tech‚ which seemingly holds dominion over much of our online presence. These corporate behemoths have developed sophisticated algorithms capable of manipulating our behavior‚ influencing our decisions‚ and shaping our worldviews. The individual’s autonomy stands at risk—a mere plaything at the mercy of adeptly coded systems that cater to the highest bidder. What‚ then‚ should be the clarion call for those valuing liberty and privacy? It is nothing short of a comprehensive reform to establish stringent guidelines for data collection‚ use‚ and protection. This is not simply a matter of consumer rights; it is a fundamental issue of civil liberties. Legislative measures must be introduced to curb the powers of both government and corporate entities in the digital playing field. In conclusion‚ as we stand at a crossroads‚ conservatives must champion the cause of privacy with unyielding fervor. The cries of privacy experts are not to be ignored or discounted; they are the canaries in the coal mine‚ signaling the possible erosion of what so many have fought to preserve. Channeling the wisdom and foresight of our constitutional framers‚ we must ensure that the advance of technology does not come at the cost of our most cherished freedoms.   The post Privacy Advocates Sound Alarm on Imminent Concerns Amid Technological Advancements appeared first on The Conservative Brief.
