On Monday’s broadcast of CNN’s “Cuomo Primetime,” Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) responded to concerns that she just wants Facebook to censor people on the right more and will end up hurting free speech with her push for greater regulation of the company by stating that someone shouting “fire” in a crowded theater “is not free speech, right? That is not protected speech.” Host Chris Cuomo asked, “So, the conceptual pushback is free speech, and your brothers and sisters on the right will say, you just want them to censor them more. That’s what this is all about for the left....

House Democrats dragging oil giants before lawmakers Thursday in an upcoming show trial have benefitted from industry profits, public financial records show. In September, Reps. Carolyn Maloney, D-N.Y., who chairs the Oversight Committee, and Ro Khanna, D-Calif., who leads the Subcommittee on Environment, demanded executives from Shell, ExxonMobil, BP, Chevron, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, and the American Petroleum Institute (API) testify about their alleged roles in climate change. “We are deeply concerned that the fossil fuel industry has reaped massive profits for decades while contributing to climate change that is devastating American communities, costing taxpayers billions of dollars, and...

Another of John Wayne Gacy’s victims has finally been identified more than 40 years after dying at the hands of the twisted killer. Francis Wayne Alexander, of North Carolina, was identified through dental and DNA records, law enforcement announced Monday. Alexander’s body was one of 26 cops discovered in Gacy’s crawl space in December 1978. He was killed sometime between early 1976 and 1977, when he would have been just 21 or 22 years old, according to Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart. He was one of six victims that had still not been identified over more than 40 years later.

Former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers’ criticism that the Federal Reserve and other central banks are too focused on “woke” social issues reflects a growing concern that policymakers aren’t paying enough attention to inflation. Mr. Summers, a Democrat, is arguing his point as Senate Republicans try to prevent congressional Democrats and President Biden from pressuring the Fed to install regional directors who would devote some of their duties to climate change and racial equity. The Republicans describe the move as a dangerous case of “mission creep” from the central bank’s traditional role of ensuring maximum employment and price stability. All 12...

Yep. Went to tweet our latest article and was greeted with this: Locked out of our account for 12 hours. And it doesn't say why. Because of course it doesn't.

More Americans are now refusing COVID-19 vaccinations not because they oppose the "shoulder jab" but because they oppose a mandate from a president they do not trust. Ironically, using vaccine mandates in a futile effort to boost his sagging poll numbers, this feckless president has only hardened opposition to the vaccine. "I had COVID-19 in May. My doctor tells me I'm better protected than any vaccine. What law gives this president the authority to tell my employer (an airline) to fire me next month if I don't get vaccinated?" That question was posed this weekend while we waited for a...

When we think about the different ways we can reduce our carbon footprints, our sex lives are not usually at the top of the list. Yet web searches for sustainable products such as vegan condoms and waste-free contraception have been steadily on the rise in recent years. What is eco-friendly sex? "For some, being eco-friendly sexually means selecting lubes, toys, bed sheets and condoms that have less impact on the planet," explains Dr Adenike Akinsemolu, an environmental sustainability scientist from Nigeria. "For others, it entails reducing the damage in the creation of porn to workers and the environment. Both examples...

A man who shot and fatally wounded his neighbor’s dog in southern Stafford County earlier this year is no longer facing charges. Fred Asiedu, 26, went to Stafford General District Court Wednesday facing felony charges of maiming a dog and destruction of property and a misdemeanor charge of reckless handling of a firearm. At the end of a preliminary hearing, Judge Angela O’Connor decided not to send the charges to circuit court for trial. O’Connor ruled that the evidence was insufficient even for probable cause, a much lower standard than the “beyond a reasonable doubt” standard required for an eventual...

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott on Monday signed a law that restricts transgender students from participating in school sports consistent with their gender identity. Texas is the eighth state -- and the largest -- to pass legislation this year addressing transgender athletes' access to sports. South Dakota also enacted restrictions, but did so through executive order. Idaho passed similar legislation in 2020, but it has since been blocked in federal court. The Texas law, known as HB25, passed in the state's third special session. It allows student-athletes to participate only in the interscholastic sports that correspond with the sex listed on...

If you think the supply chain problems, empty shelves in stores and higher inflation are problems now, wait a few weeks; they are likely to get worse. And this isn't a result of hurricanes, the pandemic or other acts of nature. It's all due to political incompetence that starts in the Oval Office. Here's one prominent reason the supply shortage of goods from fruits and vegetables to gasoline to toys for Christmas will go from a headache to a crisis. We are now witnessing the end of four decades of labor peace in America. Two prominent companies, Kellogg's and John...

“Outsourcer’s dream?” Try “sorcerer’s” dream…the apprentice is simply an inert conduit.In semi-related news, I see they’ve finally found an acceptable fall guy (who isn’t female with a Hispanic surname) for Alec Baldwin:The assistant director of “Rust” who reportedly handed Alec Baldwin the prop gun that killed Halyna Hutchins was fired from a previous production gig over another firearm incident…Halls had shouted that the weapon was a “cold gun” — meaning it was safe to use — before giving it to Baldwin, according to a search warrant issued on Friday.Which I guess makes Baldwin - the guy who actually drew the...

The New Jersey Republican State Committee (“NJGOP”) issued the following statement in response to new reporting (detailed below): “This extremely disturbing video appears to confirm what the Murphy campaign has been hinting at – and the NJGOP has been warning about – throughout the summer: that a second Murphy term will bring about the same type of vaccine passports seen in Bill de Blasio’s New York, burdening already suffering businesses and discriminating against minority communities in which immunization rates are lower,” said NJGOP Executive Director Tom Szymanski.

KENOSHA , Wis. -- A Wisconsin judge laid out the final ground rules Monday on what evidence will be allowed when Kyle Rittenhouse goes on trial next week for shooting three people during a protest against police brutality, ruling he'll permit testimony from the defense's use-of-force expert and on how police welcomed Rittenhouse and others carrying guns during the demonstration. Rittenhouse sat silently in the courtroom as his defense team and prosecutors argued the last minute motions. What both sets of lawyers can and can't say in the course of the trial was the subject of intense debate. The 18-year-old...

RICHMOND, Virginia -- Some of the many overlooked but critically important offices in the American political landscape are the ones held by state legislators and members of general assemblies. These are the people who are most like us, the ones who live in neighborhoods close to ours, sit in the pews on Sundays and attend the local high school football games with everyone else. They are the elected officials who rarely have an entourage but have as much of a vested interest as you in ensuring that roads and bridges in your town are safe, because they have to drive...
