Here is my latest piece.

‍In George Orwell’s 1984, the "telescreen" was a tool of state-mandated terror. In 2026, it’s a consumer convenience we bought, installed, and powered ourselves.

Why it matters: Three high-profile events in early 2026 have shattered the illusion that home security and smart devices are passive. They are, in reality, sophisticated targeting systems.

1. The "Search Party" problem

During Super Bowl LX, Amazon’s Ring debuted "Search Party," an AI feature designed to find lost pets by scanning neighborhood-wide footage.

The catch: The feature was enabled by default, effectively turning private homes into a warrantless surveillance grid without explicit owner consent.
The law enforcement link: Ring’s previous integrations with companies like Flock Safety and Axon already allowed police to access footage for ICE and CBP operations.

The risk: "It starts with searching for a brown dog," says Matthew Guariglia of the EFF, "but means the tech is there for face recognition and searching for suspects".

2. The "Vacuum" vulnerability

A software engineer recently discovered a massive security flaw in DJI robot vacuums while trying to use a PlayStation controller to steer his own device.

The breach: He gained access to live feeds, microphones, and floor maps for 7,000 vacuums across 24 countries.

The geopolitical angle: DJI is already banned from U.S. government use. This incident highlights the risk of intimate data sitting on servers controlled by foreign adversaries.

3. Cameras as weapons of war

On February 28, 2026, a joint U.S.-Israeli strike against Iran proved that surveillance is the ultimate reconnaissance tool.

The hack: Mossad reportedly compromised Tehran’s traffic cameras years ago.

The hit: AI algorithms analyzed footage of Supreme Leader Khamenei’s guards—their routes, parking spots, and schedules—to pinpoint his location for the strike.

The lesson: The cameras Iran built to control its people became the instruments of its leader’s death.
By the numbers

The American public is reaching a breaking point, according to a March 2026 Rainey Center poll:

72% of voters are concerned that data from U.S. cameras is used by China to develop AI.

63% fear Chinese-made software in security cameras allows foreign access to footage.

68% support legislation banning the storage of personal data in Chinese data centers.

The bottom line

Congress is facing overwhelming public pressure to act. Proposed solutions include:

Banning Chinese-origin software in U.S. hardware.
Mandating warrants for law enforcement access to civilian footage.

Requiring "affirmative opt-in" for all AI-powered surveillance features.

Go deeper: Orwell’s protagonist, Winston Smith, lamented that "Big Brother is watching you." He never imagined we’d pay $299 for the privilege.

[Ari Fleischer @AriFleischer]

He travelled to Bosnia where he volunteered for an Al Qaeda offshoot.

Congress would be within its rights not to seat him.

Our enemies should have no expectation they can infiltrate us from within.

[Russ Walker @RWalkerFW]

Heartbreaking.

[Liz Churchill @liz_churchill10]

Henry Nowak’s sister has posted a heartbreaking video of their bond as siblings…

Henry Nowak died because was a victim of anti-white HATRED

SHAME on the disgusting U.K. Police and Politicians that treat white people as SECOND CLASS CITIZENS

@aboutdoesit Spielberg doesn’t understand true Christianity if he thinks this will destroy people’s faith.

[Russ Walker @RWalkerFW]

Maybe.

[Dr. Jebra Faushay @JebraFaushay]

Steven Spielberg thinks the truth about UFOs will “dislocate society” but we’ve lived through so much that nothing would surprise us.

What would it take to shock you?

In an effort to appeal to men, Democrats nominate Talarico in Texas, a woke pastor who preached that God is non-binary, performed drag blessings, and built his brand on gender ambiguity, who now has a fake girlfriend, pretends to eat BBQ, is cosplaying a cowboy and found a truck.

And an obnoxious clown in Maine, Graham Platner, a self described communist, who mocked Purple Heart victims, post half naked selfies on a dating apps popularized by teens and literally N@zi Death Head tattoo. You just can’t make this stuff up.

This is going to be a wild cycle.

[Russ Walker @RWalkerFW]

This is perfect.

[Buzz Patterson @BuzzPatterson]

Meet Graham Platner:

Every military unit has one. Graham’s the living legend of every squad bay from Ramadi to wherever the hell else he rotated through.

While the rest of the platoon was wiring money home to the wife, fixing the truck, or pretending to save for that mythical “house,” Platner was the guy who treated his entire paycheck like a two-day liberty pass in Bangkok.

First and fifteenth? Straight to the ATM, then straight to the bar. Beers for the whole damn platoon (until the tab hit four figures), followed by the kind of “romantic investments” that left him broke, hungover, and explaining to the First Sergeant why his dress blues smelled like regret and regret’s cheaper cousin.

Other Marines came home with stories of valor. Graham came home with stories, a new tattoo he “doesn’t remember getting,” and the financial stability of a Somali pirate on shore leave.

Now he’s running for Senate as the working man’s champion.

Brother, the only thing you’ve ever championed is happy hour and poor decisions. The oyster farm must be doing real well to launder all those years of “supporting local talent.”

Semper Fi, you magnificent degenerate. Just don’t check your campaign finance reports for “entertainment expenses.”

In case you needed anymore evidence that the Southern Poverty Law Center is a fraudulent organization, sowing division and hate in our nation.

This guy tried to pass legislation to protect pedophiles and is now heir apparent for Pelosi’s seat.

I introduced legislation to increase punishment for pedophiles to the death penalty.

We are not the same.

China, the CCP, is the enemy of every free person in the world, and @stanford has chosen to align with them. So many of our institutions are led by greedy and naive people.

[The Stanford Review @StanfordReview]

INVESTIGATION: A whistleblower has leaked Stanford's private foreign-funding records to the Review, revealing millions in funding from Chinese state-linked entities and CCP donors.

@KennethRWebster The woke pastor who preached that God is non-binary, performed drag blessings, and built his brand on gender ambiguity just found himself a girlfriend, a cowboy hat, a truck, and a beard.

As my old boss Dick Armey used to say — that dog don’t hunt.

[Russ Walker @RWalkerFW]

Truth👇🏻👇🏻

[Mike Bales 🫡🇺🇸 @MikeBales]

He’s the President of the United States — not your ex, not your personal villain, and not the cause of your misery. You don’t have to support him. That’s America.

But if someone is simply backing the sitting President and it makes you rage, cut people off, attack families, or act like garbage — you are the problem.

You’ve turned politics into a personality disorder: nonstop outrage and toddler meltdowns online. Grow up. He won. The sky didn’t fall. Pay your bills, care for your family, touch grass, and move on.

I honestly don’t know if Britain can be saved. It might already be too late.

[Rupert Lowe MP @RupertLowe10]

Enough is enough - a deep line needs to be drawn in the sand. Talk is weak. Britain needs to say no more, and mean it.

A Restore Britain Government, with the British people's approval, would put Vickrum Digwa to death.

Henry Nowak was stabbed by Digwa five times, including twice in the back of his legs, once in the face and a fatal wound to the chest.

Rather than calling an ambulance, Digwa filmed Henry.

Digwa gave the knife to his mother and it was found by police at their home along with more than 20 other weapons.

Keeping this savage alive serves nobody.

The police officers on the scene who allowed Henry to die will face criminal charges for gross negligence manslaughter.

Digwa's foreign family will be deported.

Laws will change, the country will change, everything will change.

Order will be restored, the law will be restored.

Britain will be restored.

TEXAS SENATE RACE: Backed by Epstein-pal Reid Hoffman, James Talarico (CIS) has hired Hollywood producers to recast his Low-T energy into Landman-style Billy Bob Thornton energy. Will it work?

[Russ Walker @RWalkerFW]

Good grief. Nothing about this guy is real.

[Texas2AAttorney @CJGRISHAM]

Lol. Now he's putting on cowboy hats.
