Voters in Florida and Georgia who wish to vote by mail in the governor's elections next year will need to take one more measure to guarantee they get a ballot: providing registration. In 2020, only two states had ID requirements for voters requesting a mailed ballot. This year, Republicans across the country have focused on mail voting, imposing new restrictions on a process that grew in popularity during the coronavirus pandemic. According to data collected by the Voting Rights Lab, legislation requiring extra registration for postal voting was passed in Arizona, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, New Hampshire, Ohio, South Carolina, and...

After nearly two weeks of violence between Israeli forces and Hamas militants in Gaza, a ceasefire agreement has finally been reached. But the duration of the ceasefire remains questionable, especially given that the grievances that led up to the most recent conflict persist, and without addressing them, it's only a matter of time before the next wave of violence begins.

Palestinians rallies in the last Gaza War, which they consider to be an expensive, but straightforward victory for the Hamas Islamic militant group, were rallying thousands Fridays after a cease-fire. Israel has vowed to respond to further hostilities with a "new degree of power." More than 250 people died in the 11-day war—most of them Palestinians—and caused extensive destruction in Gaza, which has already been controlled by Hamas. However, many Palestinians see the missile dams in much Israel as a daring reaction to alleged Israeli abusses in the emotional centre of the war, Jerusalem. The last round of combat was...

In a discovery which surprises no one, a study found fellas value sexy bodies and attractive faces much more than women do. And it is great news for Microsoft billionaire Bill Gates, 65 — who recently split with his wife — as women like high income, intelligence and emotional connection. Experts are now set to establish whether the Pope is really Catholic — and what bears do in the woods, The Sun understands. Dr Stephen Whyte, a behavioural scientist at Queensland University in Australia, said: “Males and females can differ quite significantly in the importance they place on characteristics. “Both...

Two federal correctional officers accused of sleeping on the job and browsing the internet the night Jeffrey Epstein hanged himself will dodge jail time under a proposed deal with prosecutors. Tova Noel and Michael Thomas will complete 100 hours of community service and be under pretrial supervision for six months under the deferred prosecution agreement, which requires a judge’s approval. Prosecutors notified the court of the deal in a Manhattan Federal Court filing late Friday. “After a thorough investigation, and based on the facts of this case and the personal circumstances of the defendants, the Government has determined that the...

So after a typical conflict between an intransigent freedom-loving people and the malignant force out to conquer and oppress them, a cease-fire was finally settled this week, though not without spasms of media sympathy for the malignancy and Democratic Party outrage at the freedom-lovers. I refer, of course, to the CDC and the American people. Did you think I meant something else?But first up—a reader sends along this perfect pic of how everyone should begin their Saturday mornings:

resident Biden has been on the job for a little more than four months, however, in that relatively short period he has signed and proposed some of the most audacious and expensive pieces of legislation in U.S. history. What’s more, this comes as the U.S. national debt, which now stands at a mind-boggling$28.3 trillion, becomes more of a millstone upon the sputtering U.S. economy than ever before. To date, Biden has signed the $1.9 trillionAmerican Rescue Plan, which the administration describes as a plan “to change the course of the pandemic, build a bridge towards economic recovery, and invest in...

A new report this month from Rhodium Group explains that China’s 2019 greenhouse gas emissions eclipsed emissions from every single developed country in the world — combined. This is the first time China, the world’s worst polluter since emissions began to skyrocket in the ‘90s, has been able to claim this dubious distinction. The U.S. peaked emissions in 2007 and, according to the IEA, has reduced more emissions than anyone else in the history of energy. We’ve been making historic reductions mainly because of two things considered off-limits by the progressive left: innovative fracking and carbon-free nuclear energy. While our...

Leftists are fantasizing about Donald Trump being arrested, booked, and put on trial. Well, they are fantasizing about that…again. The New York State Attorney General’s investigation of the Trump Organization is now “no longer purely civil in nature,” Fabien Levy, the spokesperson for New York Attorney General Letitia James, confirmed to Politico by email. “We are now actively investigating the Trump Organization in a criminal capacity, along with the Manhattan D.A. We have no additional comment at this time.” It is important for political observers, cowardly-lion Republicans, patriots, and activists to know what is happening here. More ammunition and detail...

China is claiming House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is “full of lies and disinformation.” That’s not necessarily untrue most of the time. But in this case Pelosi is being blasted by Communist China’s loudest mouthpieces because she’s actually done the right thing – almost. To protest China’s long list of serious human rights violations, which is a good thing, Pelosi has urged global leaders and diplomats to boycott the Winter Olympics in Beijing in February. Nice try, Nancy. But somehow, I don’t think China’s rulers will be losing sleep over your idea. Their country is not going to look bad in...

On April 22, 2021, Representative Frank Pallone Jr. (D-NJ) re-introduced the Elijah E. Cummings Lower Drug Costs Now Act (LDCNA). Shortly after re-introducing the bill to Congress, Pallone stated, “this legislation will dramatically rein in costs by finally empowering the federal government to negotiate fair prescription drug prices with Big Pharma.” While Representative Pallone’s bill is well-intentioned, LDCNA would establish rigid price controls for medications that would ultimately deny present and future patients access to life-improving and life-saving drugs. Perhaps most egregious is the fact lawmakers are advocating for price controls on pharmaceutical drugs despite clear warnings from the non-partisan...

Two of the best regarded novelists are having a big falling out — Stephen King and J.K Rowling are apparently no longer friends. In a dispute that stemmed from King’s response to allegations of Rowling’s transphobia it has caused the "Harry Potter" creator to block the creator of "It" and "The Shining," the Daily Beast reported. “She sorta blocked me and all that,” King said. The New York Post noted that their Twitter feud in June led to Rowling deleting a message that praised King. As The Hill previously reported, Rowling defended Maya Forstater, a tax researcher who was terminated...

As the debate over in-person schooling roiled, teachers’ unions secured significant protections­—often with parents’ support.

The scorpion wants to cross the river Jordan but cannot swim, so asks a frog to carry it across. The frog hesitates, afraid the scorpion might sting, but the scorpion says if it did that, they would both drown. The frog accepts this, lets the scorpion climb on its back and begins to swim. Midway across the river the scorpion stings the frog, dooming them both. The dying frog asks the scorpion why it stung, despite knowing the consequences. The scorpion replied, “I could not help it, it’s in my nature.” Emulating the scorpion, Hamas and Islamic Jihad, on May...

Afternoon there, neighbor! There's a new disease in town, and I wanted you to know about it. It gives the chills and sweats and headaches and fevers and diarrhea and a cough and it can kill you. Not a cold or a flu, but a new thing. It can kill most of us, it turns out. Very dangerous. We're going to have to lock you down, in fact. For your well-being. Two weeks is all we ask to flatten this curve. What's a curve? Funny you ask. It's when too many people get put into the hospital. We just want...
