A new national divide is emerging among states over whether to track sales by gun stores Should gun store sales get special credit card tracking? States
split on mandating or prohibiting it. Beginning Monday, a California law will require credit card networks like Visa and Mastercard to provide banks with special retail codes that can be assigned to gun stores in order to track their sales. But new laws will do the exact opposite in Georgia, Iowa, Tennessee and Wyoming by banning the use of specific gun shop codes. The conflicting laws highlight what has quietly emerged as one of...

Newly uncovered documents that had been hidden from the American public for eight years show the FBI knew in 2016 that Hunter Biden and his business partners eyed a venture in tax-friendly Liechtenstein that would have capitalized on a $120 million investment from the Ukrainian energy firm Burisma Holdings. The evidence concerning
the Liechtenstein deal were among the 3.39 million documents seized by the FBI from Hunter Biden and his business partners in 2016. The documents, viewed by Just the News, were turned over by Hunter Biden's former business partner Devon Archer to the House Oversight Committee as part of...

California testing car tracking as possible gas tax replacement

Fox Business ^
| 5/24/24 | Daniella Genovese
States are seeking out ways to recoup losses from lost gas tax revenue. California,
which relies on gas tax and other fuel tax revenues to support its roadway maintenance, is piloting the idea of a "road charge," which would charge drivers based on the number of miles they drive rather than how much gas they purchase. The pilot program was initiated due to the fact that the collection of gas tax revenue is estimated to decrease in the coming years, according to the California State Transportation Agency (CalSTA). CalSTA officials told FOX Business that a bill, signed in 2021, established...

We've all heard before that our cellphones are listening to us and monitoring our every move. While
this has been debunked (or, at least, explained), the fact of the matter is that data tracking is standard practice by the most popular mobile carriers these days. **SNIP** If you don't want your mobile carrier to have so much overarching access to your data, there are ways you can stop them. The problem is that most mobile carriers aren't going to broadcast this information because it's beneficial for them to maintain this access. However, that's why we're here to help. Managing your...

We’re coming up on three and a half years into the Biden presidency — a presidency which from the outset promised an “all of government” regulatory onslaught to force a transition away from fossil fuels and to “green” energy. And
the regulatory onslaught has indeed come forth. But how about the actual transition in energy use? Not so much. Let’s have a round-up of some recent data points. On the regulatory onslaught front, on March 7, 2024 Thomas Pyle of the Institute for Energy Research put out a list of “200 Ways the Biden Administration and Democrats Have Made it...

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is illegally collecting data of every citizen who invests in the stock market, according to a new lawsuit. The

COLUMBIA — A controversial energy bill is heading to the House floor over the continued opposition of consumer and environmental advocates, who say changes fell far short of addressing concerns over fast-tracking a new power plant in South Carolina. A House committee voted unanimously Wednesday to advance the legislation introduced last month
by Speaker Murrell Smith of Sumter, R-Sumter. The bill gives permission for Dominion Energy and state-owned utility company Santee Cooper to partner on a possible 2,000-megawatt natural gas plant on the site of a former coal-fired power plant along the Edisto River in Colleton County. But in the...

A township ordinance that limits firing guns to indoor and outdoor shooting ranges and zoning that significantly restricts where the ranges can be located does not violate the Second Amendment, Pennsylvania's Supreme Court ruled Wednesday. The man who challenged Stroud Township's gun laws, Jonathan Barris, began to draw complaints about a year
after he moved to the home in the Poconos in 2009 and installed a shooting range on his 5-acre property. An officer responding to a complaint said the range had a safe backstop but the targets were in line with a large box store in a nearby shopping...

Joe Biden’s America. A Pakistani man who entered the US illegally in California in November of 2023, was released into the US in January with “tracking technology.” This
was after he was confirmed as a match on the US terror watchlist. This technology was part of the government’s ‘Alternatives to Detention’ program. So, with this logic, an illegal alien who has ties to terrorists was let go with a digital babysitter. The Pakistani was arrested after ICE in Los Angeles was informed of he was on a terror watchlist. Daily Caller reported: Federal immigration authorities caught and released a Pakistani...

Studies by both Bank of America and Fidelity showed a disturbing trend last year: Hardship withdrawals and participant loans from retirement plans increased, likely due to inflation and the rising cost of living. Bank
of America’s 2023 Participant Pulse found the number of participants taking hardship distributions increased by more than a third year-over-year, following increases in Q1 2023. Further, the report showed more participants borrowing from their workplace plan in Q2 (2.5%, an increase from 1.9% in Q1 2023). The good news is that both B of A and Fidelity’s research found most employees were maintaining – and even...
