Fort Worth is doing away with its most prestigious form of recognition, proclamations issued on behalf of the entire City Council, after a proposed proclamation recognizing June as Pride month led to division among the council.

Jason has announced that he will cap his performance with a special rendition of his megahit, 'Try That in a Small Town.'" Imagine the fulminations about "racism" and "white nationalism" from the Morning Joe crew if that scenario became reality. The Super Bowl hasn't had a country-music halftime show since 1994. But when conservatives complain that the NFL actually chose Bad Bunny, an ardent Trump critic and endorser of Kamala Harris? Someone who has refused to perform in...

As a former state commander of a major Veterans Service Organization, I know firsthand how difficult it is to obtain service records from the National Archives. That's why, when I learned that a political operative tied to Jack Ciattarelli - the Trump-endorsed Republican running for governor in New Jersey - was handed the unredacted service records of his Ciattarelli's opponent, Democrat Mikie Sherrill, my B.S. meter went off at full siren. This was a movie I had seen before. As a college student, I had the honor of chauffeuring former Senator Max Cleland around New Jersey and New York. Cleland,...

The visa is limited to about three years and can be renewed. Among the changes is a hike in the fee for new applications to $100,000. Previously, it cost an employer around $3,000 to hire...

President Trump said Thursday he’s still weighing the idea of giving Americans up to $2,000 in rebates derived from the revenues his tariff agenda has generated. Trump’s proposal to share some of the hundreds of billions of dollars the federal government has collected since he slapped foreign nations with steep levies in April comes as the Supreme Court is slated to hear arguments in a case next month that will decide whether the president has the power to impose such sweeping global tariffs. “They’re just starting to kick in,” Trump said of the tariffs in an interview with One America...
