Three Democratic U.S. senators on Monday said they are introducing legislation that would require U.S. regulators to mandate installation of driver-monitoring systems to ensure motorists pay attention while using systems like Tesla's Autopilot.Senators Ed Markey, Richard Blumenthal and Amy Klobuchar introduced the measure on Monday, saying they hope to get it included as part of infrastructure reform legislation. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened 28 probes into Tesla crashes to date, with 24 pending, where Autopilot was suspected of being in use.The measure also requires the agency "to study how driver-monitoring systems can prevent driver distraction, driver disengagement,...

Governors have become frustrated because President Joe Biden has not attended a single weekly COVID briefing. Vice President Kamala Harris has only attended one so far. New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, of all people, has taken charge of the briefings.....

A team of researchers with the Westfalen-Lippe Landscape Association revealed during a presentation in the city of Schmallenberg that one of the largest hoards of Iron Age weapons in western Germany had been unearthed at a nearby dig site on a small mountain in Wilzenberg. In their press release, the researchers note that they found approximately 100 Celtic Iron Age artifacts—primarily through the use of a metal detector.

Saul Alinsky was a brilliant man. Evil, but brilliant. Unfortunately, whether we like it or not, everyone on the Left from the President on down is playing by his rules in the political arena. Not all liberals have read his book or know his name, but his tactics have become universal. Sadly for conservatives, when two evenly matched forces go head-to-head outside of a fairy tale, the side that tries to play nice usually ends up with its head in a box. So, don't lie or become an evil person like Alinsky, but learn from what he wrote and give...

A new judge has been assigned to the Democrats’ Maricopa County case. The parties are now to take 10 days to describe to the judge what they think should take place. Brahm Resnic in Arizona tweeted out moments ago: .... Snip.... We don’t know much about the new judge, Judge Daniel Martin, at this time but he has been a judge in Arizona since 2007:

From time to time, an argument pops up on (where else?) the internet about whether or not a hot dog counts as a sandwich. That's fun and all, but there's a whole delicious world of stuff between slices, and it's time to sink your teeth in and test your knowledge. TAKE THE QUIZ

Minneapolis is my home. My happiest memories are here. It’s where I learned to ride a bike, had my first date, received my high school diploma. But today, I’m too afraid to even walk in my neighborhood by myself. The ACE Hardware down the street? The one that I used to bike to in the summer? Robbed twice in the past five days. The Walgreens next to my elementary school? Molotov cocktail thrown into it.

(CNN)President Joe Biden is expected to announce Tuesday that the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has updated its guidance for wearing masks outdoors, three people familiar with the expected announcement said.

Florida is seeking an immediate injunction to overturn the Centers For Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) order that is keeping cruise ships from sailing from U.S. ports. Two weeks ago, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and Attorney General Ashley Moody filed a lawsuit seeking the same result. Last week, Alaska’s governor announced that his state would join the lawsuit. But as the weeks pass without the federal government or CDC filing arguments in the case, Florida has taken another step to ramp up the pressure. On April 22, Florida filed a motion in a district court in Tampa, asking for an...

People in India are dying in the streets amid a catastrophic surge of COVID-19 infections — prompting an oxygen shortage and mass cremations to deal with the overwhelming amount of bodies. “The virus is swallowing our city’s people like a monster,” said Mamtesh Sharma, an official at the Bhadbhada Vishram Ghat crematorium in Bhopal. Sharma said the unprecedented crush of bodies has forced them to skip individual ceremonies and rituals that are Hindu traditions.

The U.S. Census Bureau on Monday announced that six states, mostly in the South and Mountain regions, would gain seats in the U.S. House of Representatives based on updated population data results, while seven states were set to lose one seat apiece.

“Ready for the pop? Here comes the pop.” The quote above is from a Loveland Police officer – Austin Hopp – said in reference to the sound it made when he dislocated and fractured Karen Garner’s shoulder. Hopp made this comment to two fellow Loveland Police officers while they watched his body camera video together at the police station. They all laughed about it. The comment was made while Karen Garner, who has dementia, remained handcuffed to a bench in a cell just 10 feet away from them, alone, confused and crying in pain. She would ultimately go over six...

Japanese graveyards and graveyards are a little different from what most Westerners know. In contrast to the majority of Western countries, Japan usually cremates family members rather than burying the deceased after they pass. In fact, Japan is one of the countries with the highest cremation rate in the world, comprising about 99% of final rites. The bones remaining after the ceremony are shared among the surviving relatives as a way for them to remember those who have moved on. Moreover, the remaining ashes are stored and memorialized in expensive tombs that are increasingly becoming burdensome to maintain. In recent...

House Republican Conference Chair Liz Cheney is reportedly mulling a run for president in 2024 — despite the fact that seemingly only a handful of neoconservative writers in DC actually like her. Cheney is currently down 54-21 in a primary matchup poll with her challenger Anthony Bouchard. “I’m not ruling anything in or out — I’ve been here a long time,” she told The New York Post when asked if she would consider running. Cheney’s popularity tanked after she voted to impeach President Donald Trump. The power hungry politician has also faced criticism for constantly supporting the whims of Nancy...

Kamala Harris is a vacuous politician, sure. Her inability to answer any question and complete discomfort in situations in which her human side is invited out for a turn about the room portray an utter fraud. She doesn’t belong there and she cannot hide it. Harris is like a cat burglar carrying an armful of stolen silver candlesticks when the lights are suddenly flicked on and she is caught, red-handed. She is without answers. What makes her exceptional is that she doesn’t seem concerned at all with how she is perceived. She never bothers to learn anything to even create...

Students in Los Angeles Unified should be able to return to all-day, in-person instruction in the fall, assuming schedules are adjusted, more people in the community get vaccinated and the level of coronavirus infections continue to drop, Superintendent Austin Beutner said Monday, April 26. As the district’s secondary students prepare to head back to classrooms this week — the first time in more than a year — Beutner acknowledged that middle and high schoolers won’t receive in-person instruction in most of their classes under a school day scenario that has been widely criticized by parents. But he defended the decision...
