For some reason, Democrats think that giving amnesty to people here illegally and married to Americans with a three-year path to citizenship is a big vote-getter. Perhaps they are right. Far-left Senior Adviser to Biden, Tom Perez, said he believes this action won’t incentivize people to come illegally. He claims he is of the belief […] The post WH Senior Advisor: Americans Want Mass Amnesty/Citizenship appeared first on www.independentsentinel.com.

On Tuesday, Texas GOP Sen. Ted Cruz introduced a bill to protect and empower victims of “revenge pornography.” The bill, titled the “Tools to Address Known Exploitation by Immobilizing Technological Deepfakes on Websites and Networks (TAKE IT DOWN) Act,” would “criminalize the publication of non-consensual intimate imagery (NCII), including AI-generated NCII (or “deepfake pornography”), and require social media and similar websites to have in place procedures to remove such content upon notification from a victim,” according to Cruz’s office. “There has been a staggering increase in exploitative sexual material online, largely due to predators taking advantage of new technologies like generative artificial intelligence, or AI,” Cruz stated. “Now almost instantaneously, perpetrators can use an app on their phones to create fake, explicit images depicting real people, commonly referred to as deep fakes. Disturbingly, this is increasingly affecting and targeting minors, particularly young girls. Up to 95% of all internet deep fakes depict sexual images, with the vast majority of it targeting women and girls.” “It feels like almost every week now we’re seeing a new report of a middle school or high school young girl falling victim to this despicable activity,” he continued. “Young girls are waking up to a text message from their friends saying there’s an explicit photo of them circulating on social media or explicit video. And yet, the photos aren’t real. They were created using AI, typically taking the face of a real person and using AI technology to graph this seamlessly and imperceptibly to a different image, and a sexually explicit image. Imagine being 14 years old and showing up at school where your classmates believe they have seen an explicit photo of you that is a fake and a fraud. The photos may not be real, but the pain and the humiliation is.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP “For many young teens, it’s changed their lives forever,” he declared. “Even worse, these photos can prove very difficult to remove from the internet. They can spread quickly from one phone to another, to another to another, causing many women and girls to have to live with being victimized over and over again.” “There are a few bills in the Senate right now that are working to tackle this issue,” he acknowledged. “I want to be clear, our legislation is designed to be complementary to those efforts. I’ve supported the other efforts, and this is designed to fill gaps that the other bills do not address. As the ranking member of the Senate Commerce Committee, my legislation is the first of its kind to require websites, including social media sites, to have in place a process to remove such content within 48 hours of a request from the victim. The sites must also remove any copies of those images.”

When going on a hike, it’s important to stay present — that way, you’re better able to take in the beauty of the nature that surrounds you. For those who took a popular hiking trail in Las Vegas recently, I have a feeling they had no problem spotting one peculiar landmark in particular: a mirrored monolith. Who put it here? And why did they do it? Both are great questions… that the Las Vegas police aren’t able to answer. Why? Because they don’t know either. “We see a lot of weird things when people go hiking like not being prepared for the weather, not bringing enough water… but check this out!” the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD) shares in a Facebook post. “Over the weekend, Las Vegas Metro Search and Rescue spotted this mysterious monolith near Gass Peak north of the valley. HOW did it get up there??” Facebook The monolith, which perfectly mirrors the surrounding scenery, has become quite the popular mystery. Not only is this trail (Gass Peak) popular, but it’s also the highest peak in Las Vegas — 7,000 feet to be exact! Plus, it’s about 20 miles from the north of the city. In other words, getting this massive object there couldn’t have been easy. Mirrored Monolith Found on Hiking Trail in Las Vegas Both Delights and Puzzles Locals Facebook As hard as it is to imagine the who, why, and how of this unusual situation, this is far from the first time something like this has happened. Quite a few similar structures popped up in 2020. Plus, a stainless steel monolith popped up in Wales just earlier this year! We may never know who all keeps setting up these monoliths or why. But, honestly, the mystery behind these unusually placed objects is part of what makes stuff like this so interesting! You can find the source of this story’s featured image here!

Sun bears are the tiniest bears in the animal kingdom. Tenom is a sun bear who lived in captivity after poachers killed her mother and attempted to sell her as a pet. A wildlife rescue team recently began a four-phase plan to train Tenom to live in the wild, essentially teaching her to be a bear. Sun bears are identifiable by their yellow-gold chest patch, resembling a necklace around the tiny bear’s neck. As a cub, Tenom is about the size of a small dog. The rehabilitation program expects to train Tenom over two years. Her training period is equivalent to the two to three years a cub would typically be with its mother. Using a “foster family” model, the team will teach the cub how to survive in the wild. Image from YouTube. Sun bears are completely hairless at birth and depend on their mothers to supply warmth, food, and protection from predators. Tenom’s foster family, led by Jude (seen above, acting as the momma bear), will provide those vital elements. We mentioned that sun bears are the world’s smallest bears. Adults standing on hind legs are less than three feet tall! Their small size allows them to climb among the rainforest tree canopies easily. The Importance Of Sun Bears To The Ecosystem The world’s smallest bear is a vital part of the rainforest ecosystem. They are a “keystone species,” shaping the ecosystem in their territory. First, they dig, stirring up nutrients in the ground that assist other rainforest dwellers. Their claws can also tear up rotted trees, opening cavities for bugs and birds to feed and create homes. Image from YouTube. Secondly, they eat various fruits, leaving fertilized seeds everywhere they travel (yes, you think correctly). This creates new growth throughout their wide territory, which is instrumental to the survival of the rainforest. Lastly, they absolutely love feasting on termites. This controls the insect population, saving trees throughout the rainforest. Image from YouTube. The Future Looks Better For The World’s Smallest Bear Planet Wild provides funding to assist the Bornean Sun Bear Conservation Centre (BSBCC) with its rehabilitation efforts. Fewer than 10,000 sun bears remain in the wild, so the BSBCC program can be instrumental in preserving the species’ survival. Phase one of Tenom’s rehabilitation is a “soft release.” The team transports Tenom to the Tabin Wildlife Reserve, a protected area of the Bornean rainforest that is a natural habitat for sun bears. She will be in a compound with her foster family for about two years, learning to be a bear. Image from YouTube. Phase two is a settling-in period. The team works to familiarize Tenom with her new surroundings. She will remain safe in a cage for much of this phase but make short excursions into the rainforest with team members. Phase three continues Tenom’s training with longer excursions into the rainforest. She returns to the enclosure each night for rest and cuddling with Jude. This is the longest portion of her training. She will remain under Jude’s watchful eye as she roams each day. Image from YouTube. Phase four is the final step in the rehabilitation plan. Tenom will go out one day and not return. At this phase, the sun bear’s age roughly equates to a human teenager’s. The decision not to return to the enclosure will be Tenom’s and is a natural part of the bear’s growing process. Please join us in wishing success to the BSBCC and Planet Wild team as they follow Tenom on this journey. The success of this program can be instrumental in the survival of the world’s smallest bear in the wild. You can find the source of this story’s featured image here.
