2 North Texas men accused of ordering illegal Glock switches from China
SUMMARY: A Rockwall man, Joshua Javier Menar, is in federal custody for ordering Glock switches, which convert pistols into fully automatic weapons, from China. Investigators intercepted 35 packages labeled as household items but contained these illegal devices, leading to Menar's arrest on June 20th. This crackdown is part of “Operation Kill Switch” launched by the ATF and US Attorney's Office. Additionally, 19-year-old Jian White was arrested for possession of a machine gun and faces a murder charge. These cases highlight concerns over growing illegal Glock switch usage, which poses significant risks comparable to fentanyl in law enforcement crises.
In the Rockwall case, the suspect bought packages from China that appeared to just be filled with household items. In the Dallas case, the ATF says a known gang member murdered someone with a Glock switch modification.

How a problem at Lake Livingston Dam could impact water for millions in Houston
SUMMARY: The Trinity River Authority is monitoring the Lake Livingston Dam due to potential damage from recent rain and flooding. Although there’s no immediate risk, any failure could severely impact the Greater Houston area. Lake Livingston, the third-largest lake in Texas, holds 185 quadrillion gallons of water and supplies 60% of Houston’s daily water needs. A dam failure would disrupt water supply and pressure for residents across Houston, Harris County, and three surrounding counties. Despite other water sources like Lake Houston, they wouldn’t suffice. Currently, there’s no danger, but the situation remains under review.
A Lake Livingston Dam is now being watched for a “potential failure.”
The Trinity River Authority, which oversees Lake Livingston, the dam and the Trinity River, shared the declaration on Friday.

Biden debate claim debunked
SUMMARY: The Biden-Harris campaign remains steadfast despite internal party pressure to withdraw after a poor performance against former President Trump. Biden asserted his determination to win at a North Carolina rally. His aides acknowledged a bad night but are focused on future strategies. Biden raised $27 million from Thursday to Friday, amid growing calls, including from The New York Times editorial board, to exit the race. At a New York campaign event, Biden reiterated his competence and truthfulness. However, he made inaccuracies, such as falsely claiming no military deaths occurred under his leadership despite known casualties.
President Joe Biden claimed that there were no military deaths under his leadership during the debate against Donald Trump on Thursday night. #2024election #joebiden #donaldtrump
