A bill proposed by Ohio lawmakers could prohibit some green card holders from certain countries from purchasing land across the state. The bill adheres to America First policy, Ohio state representative Angel King (R), one of the sponsors of the bill, told Newsweek. The existing green card holders who already have a property are can’t purchase a new property within the bill’s outlined 25-mile radius, King said.Introduced by Representatives King and Roy Klopfenstein, House Bill 1, seeks to limit who can be a land owner. “This is about protecting our obligation to keep our power stations, water treatment plants, and gas lines safe from surveillance and espionage,” King said.The aim is to save Ohio land from foreign citizens especially from countries like China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, Cuba, Venezuela and Syria within 25 miles of “critical infrastructure”. The bill exempts American citizens or those with dual citizenship from the ban.Under the bill, the list of land that would fall under “protected property” is long. It includes any railroad property, a dam operating by the state or federal government, and trucking terminals. The bill also includes airports, military bases and farmland. County sheriffs would be responsible for enforcing the new restrictions. If the legislation passes, individuals subject to the prohibition would be required to sell restricted property within two years. Similar laws exist in Florida and Texas but they also faced lawsuits and national debate. “The bill is part of a broader national push to address concerns about foreign land ownership tied to national security. However, as currently written, the legislation would create sweeping limitations that affect far more than high-risk transactions, including everyday residential purchases,” Ohio Realtors said.

Musk-Miller patch up? Elon Musk follows Stephen Miller on X, Katie Miller stands by her husband
[ad_1] Elon Musk silently followed back Stephen Miller on X signaling rebuilding the bridges that he burned. After Elon Musk deleted the slanderous post against President Donald Trump, alleging that Trump is named in the Epstein files, Musk made some other silent peace offerings. Musk promoted Donald Trump's Truth Social post on the Los Angeles riots, and then he silently followed Stephen Miller back. Stephen Miller is the deputy chief of staff in the White House. His wife Katie Miller was the DOGE spokesperson when DOGE was working out of the White House. Now Katie Miller works full time for Elon Musk, which puts the husband-wife duo in a sticky position as they work for rivaling bosses. There were rumors that Katie Miller left her husband for Elon Musk and that before the breakup up the three were very close […]
‘Just a bunch of people having fun watching cars burn’: ABC News reporter slammed for his description of LA riots
[ad_1] ABC7 journalist Marc Brown described LA rioters as just a bunch of people having fun watching cars burn. Los Angeles ABC7 News anchor Marc Brown, during his live commentary on the Los Angeles riots, said police should not escalate their action as that would lead to a major confrontation and the situation could turn very volatile. "If you move law enforcement in there in the wrong way and turn what is just a bunch of people having fun watching cars burn into a massive confrontation of altercation between officers and demonstrators," Brown said. MAGA commentators could not believe that a journalist could describe the riots like this. "ABC News wants you to know what is happening in California isn’t a violent riot. It’s 'just a bunch of people having fun watching cars burn.' — ABC 7’s Marc Brown," one […]
‘It was wrapped in plastic’: Greta Thunberg trolled for sandwich photo amid kidnap claims. What is the truth?
[ad_1] Greta Thunberg was trolled for this photo as she was seen smiling seeing a sandwich while her pre-recorded video that she had been kidnapped was released. The photo of Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg, smiling at the sight of a sandwich, became the flashpoint on social media as people asked whether she was kidnapped at all, as she claimed. The Israeli foreign ministry called it a drama and posted the photo of the crew members of Madleen, the Gaza-bound aid ship -- sitting side by side while an Israeli soldier offered them bottled water and sandwiches. Greta Thunberg was also among them. But the Freedom Flotilla Coalition claimed earlier that the Israeli military attacked and unlawfully boarded the Madleen which was taking aid to Gaza. “If you see this video, we have been intercepted and kidnapped in international waters […]
Farmed production of some fish – and seaweed – is soaring
[ad_1] Asia leads global farmed fish production (Image credit: AFP) The amount of farmed seafood we consume -- as opposed to that taken wild from our waters -- is soaring every year, making aquaculture an ever-more important source for many diets, and a response to overfishing.According to the UN's Food and Agriculture Organization, nearly 99 million tonnes of aquatic animals (fish, molluscs like oysters and mussels and crustaceans like prawns) were farmed around the world in 2023, five times more than three decades ago.Since 2022, the farming of aquatic animals has been steadily overtaking fishing around the world -- but with large disparities from species to species.Fast-growing species: The two biggest sellers on the market in 2023, carp and tilapia, mainly came from freshwater farming, while other widely-consumed fish, like herring, came just from deep sea fishing Thierry Laugier, a […]
‘Stop fanning the flames’: Gavin Newsom blames Trump admin for inciting violence in Los Angeles; says National Guard deployed without consulting governor
[ad_1] California’s Gavin Newsom tears into Trump admin for deploying National Guard to LA without his nod, says move is meant to ‘fan the flames’ of immigration unrest.Taking to X, Newsom wrote, “Donald Trump has manufactured a crisis and is inflaming conditions. If he can’t solve it, we will. To the bad actors fueling Trump’s flames, California will hold you accountable.”The clash erupted after Trump authorised the federal deployment under Title 10 of the US Code, overriding Newsom’s objections. This move means the National Guard now reports directly to the president instead of the governor. It marks the first time such federalisation has occurred since the 1992 Los Angeles riots.Newsom responded sharply to Trump ally JD Vance’s praise of the president’s “decisive leadership”, retorting, “Decisive leadership? You didn’t even know when your own National Guard was deployed on the ground. […]
