Thousands of workers could strike early Tuesday from three dozen ports, crashing the supply chain and costing the US economy billions of dollars a day. That’s bad news for everyday Americans, none of whom have likely forgotten egg shortages or the toilet paper terrors that came after the whole world shut down for COVID. But […]

Gavin Newsom, California’s Democratic governor, signed a bill into law banning AI-generated deepfake content. It lasted two whole weeks. US District Judge John A. Mendez, a Bush appointee in California’s eastern district, agreed that AI and deepfakes pose significant risks – but he ruled that the new law likely violates the First Amendment, granting a […]

“When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time,” poet and civil rights activist Maya Angelou said. “They know themselves much better than you do.” The quote has been taken to mean many things over the years – some of which may even have been antithetical to her initial meaning. But it serves to illustrate – with no twisting or spin necessary – that you can often get a pretty good idea of what someone is going to do based on what they have already said and done. Take the current vice president and presidential hopeful, Kamala Harris, for example. She has been telling America for years her plans for free speech if only she can win what she seems to think is the authority to do so. But Has America been listening?

Democrats are hoping to once again ride their legal losses on the abortion issue to electoral success. After the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in the 2022 Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Heath ruling, the left-wing voters and pro-abortion independents were energized for the midterm elections. But that was two years ago – and that […]

The cartels in Mexico are known for, if nothing else, violence. They're responsible for the vast majority of drugs trafficked into the United States, and Mexican authorities claim as much as two-thirds of all the intentional homicides in the country are tied to organized crime. So who's responsible for all this violent crime? Many would assume the answer is the cartels – but not Mexico. According to our neighbor to the south, American guns are used in most of the murders, so clearly US firearm manufacturers are to blame.

The FBI recently updated its 2022 violent crime stats, addressing what turned out to be a massive underreporting problem. Prior to this, former President Donald Trump had been fact-checked live during his debate against Vice President Kamala Harris for saying that violent crime was on the rise. He was ridiculed afterward and accused of either […]

New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham, a Democrat, said she won't be renewing the public gun ban she instituted last year. The temporary public health order was issued in September of 20707023 and was only supposed to last 30 days. It was allowed to expire on Saturday, October 12. Talk about a long month.

But as dramatic as all that has been, there’s plenty at stake in the US Senate, as well, where just a few seats one way or the other

Election Day is just around the corner. If the polls are to be trusted, Donald Trump and Kamala Harris are neck-and-neck, and it all comes down to a handful of swing states, as it often does. At first glance, that should mean the two stand about an equal chance of winning. Still, there are those […]

Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-LA) has spent the year traveling and campaigning, doing his best to keep and even grow the GOP majority in the House. With national polling showing former President Donald Trump leading Vice President Kamala Harris ever so slightly and Republicans poised to pick up the majority in the Senate, […]
