With zero media attention and an 80-0 vote, the California Assembly has approved a plan to facilitate a reduction in federal income taxes for a constituency consisting mostly of wealthy Californians. Only Californians with income from non-employee business activities operating through partnerships, LLCs and subchapter S corporations will benefit from Assembly Bill 150. Individuals who earn their livings as employees will garner no benefit from AB 150. Individuals who operate their businesses through sole proprietorships or as single member LLCs will also be excluded from any benefit. While California cannot seem to grapple successfully with homelessness, COVID, water, power etc.,...

I voted for Donald Trump twice, but that has nothing to do with my hesitancy to get the vaccine. I'm a Christian, and that has nothing to do with it, either. Even the fact that I had COVID and should be immune doesn't matter to me. My reason is based on science and science alone. It's still an experimental vaccine; it doesn't have FDA approval; and although mRNA vaccines have been studied for years, they were not used before. My biggest fear of the vaccine is that I can't get any information about why mRNA vaccines were not used before...

Representative Adam Schiff (D-CA), chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, declared Wednesday on CNN’s “OutFront” that former President Donald Trump was “dangerous.” Schiff argued it was because Trump is perfectly fine with endangering the life of the Capitol Police officer who allegedly shot Ashli Babbit on January 6. Burnett said, “So I just played a moment ago. I don’t know if you heard it as you were hooking up, congressman, but what the former president said today about Ashli Babbitt. Obviously, what he says about the guns is incorrect, but this is not new. He keeps talking about this even...

Thanks to a series of leaks from the hard drive of Hunter Biden’s abandoned laptop computer, we know there is more than enough evidence to appoint a special counsel, or at least convene a grand jury to investigate bribery, tax fraud, and probably several other categories of crime involving the Biden Crime Family. Three recent articles by highly respected reporters Miranda Devine (who has a book on the subject about to come out and whose work informs the other two writers), Byron York, and Emily Jashinsky present evidence typed in Hunter’s own hand of the schemes whereby Hunter acted as...

Surely you have already heard the siren call of the ice cream truck as it makes its rounds this summer. Over and over it plays its slightly out-of-tune glockenspiel (?) song, calling children and adults out of their overheating apartments to purchase a treat that will spark their imagination, remind them of the fleeting nature of pleasure, and imbue them with a caloric and spiritual strength that they do not deserve but so desperately need. Its song is a Pavlovian haunting, a call to frivolous vice, a reminder of a childhood to which we can never return. Will you resist...

The nation’s largest teachers’ union has quietly taken down a series of adopted and proposed resolutions from its website, including one that calls for the organization to defend the teaching of Marxism-rooted critical race theory (CRT) in public schools. The National Education Association (NEA), which represents more than 3 million employees in public education, previously showed on its website resolutions proposed during its 100th Representative Assembly. As of the morning of July 6, three days after the online convention concluded, visitors could use the website to track the status of those proposals, including whether they were approved, denied, or referred...

A bloody Fourth of July weekend that left a dozen people dead across Los Angeles accelerated an already troubling increase in homicides and shootings in 2021, with some of the city’s poorest communities suffering the heaviest toll.

AN eagle-eyed space-watcher has spotted at least ten small black objects hovering right below the International Space Station. The conspiracy theorist believes the NASA live feed captured the UFOs forming up in a circle above the Southern Atlantic Ocean. Footage grabbed from the Nasa live stream from the International Space Station shows the orb-like objects moving past the camera. UFO hunter "Mr MBB333" shared a screenshot taken by the space watcher captured on Saturday, July 3. He posted the shocking discovery on YouTube, saying: "This is a screen grab from the International Space Station above the South Atlantic, at around...

President Joe Biden was greeted by Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot (D) on Wednesday when he arrived for a speaking appointment at an Illinois community college. The city’s rampant gun violence however was not on the public agenda, with Biden instead choosing to talk about “human infrastructure” and his American Families Plan. AP reports the president set out for the Chicago suburbs to bolster support for both his bipartisan infrastructure deal and a broader package he expects will be passed with only Democratic votes.

James K. Kallstrom, an FBI agent who became a familiar presence on the nightly news as chief of the criminal investigation into the crash of TWA Flight 800 off the coast of Long Island in 1996, a confounding disaster first suspected to be an act of terrorism but ultimately attributed to a fuel tank explosion, died July 3 at his home in Fairfield, Conn. He was 78. He had a rare cancer of the blood, said his wife, Susan Kallstrom.

An astonishing 83 per cent of Britons have said that if wearing a mask in public were a “personal choice”, they would do so, after another recent poll revealed that despite the mask mandate possibly coming to an end this month, the majority back it staying in place and even feel unsafe without them. The YouGov poll from Tuesday found that a combined 83 per cent said they would wear a mask if it were a personal choice today. Four in ten said they would wear them only indoors, with 30 per cent saying they would only wear them inside...

Did Paul Pelosi, the financier husband of House Speaker Nancy, profit off of insider Beltway scuttlebutt in June to make about $5 million on options contracts tied to Alphabet’s stock? Late on Wednesday evening, Bloomberg News published a report titled “Pelosi’s Husband Locked In $5.3 Million From Alphabet Options,” which carried the subheadlines, “Action was week before House panel considered antitrust bills,” and “Antitrust bills target Alphabet’s Google, Apple, Amazon.” The Bloomberg report followed a Fox Business News piece looking at Pelosi’s June trades, which were laid out in a July 2 disclosure form. Both stories raise a connection between...

We have a voting crisis in the United States right now, and it's not the story we're being told by Democrats, the media or even Republicans. It's a crisis of poor and inconsistent voter involvement and engagement. It's a crisis of finding compromise over voter integrity, which clearly does not exist by virtue of Russia's ability to interfere with the 2016 elections and subsequent attempts in 2020. The United States does have problems with its voting, but it's not in the way many may think. During the 2020 presidential election, at least 158.8 million people voted for then-President Donald Trump...

One would think that a food item like Ritz Crackers, which has been around for almost nine decades, would be pretty straightforward and everyone would know everything there is to know about it by now. One would be mistaken. The salty goodness hits the spot in so many different situations. Plus, it is the perfect size for snacking with its seven perforations and a scalloped edge that fit almost perfectly in your mouth. Speaking of that finely scalloped edge, did you know that it isn’t just there for looks? It actually was put on the cracker for a very specific...

FLEETWOOD, Pa. – On a hot Wednesday afternoon, a section of Main Street in Fleetwood seemed fairly calm, but hours earlier, it was filled with federal agents taking Alan Byerly into custody. According to a criminal complaint complete with multiple images of Byerly donning a Kutztown, PA knit hat, he assaulted a number of Metropolitan and Capitol police officers and an Associated Press photographer. Alan Byerly can be seen charging through the crowd on that now infamous January day in Washington, D.C., with what the feds say is a taser-like device. The images caught the eye of an EMPLOYEE at...

Most people in the United States believe that Biden administration officials, and not President Joe Biden, are directing the country's agenda and policy, according to a national poll. Fifty-seven percent of respondents to a Convention of States Action and Trafalgar Group poll said the president is not fully executing the duties of his office. Thirty-six percent said they were confident that he was directing all policy and agenda matters.
