Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell said Wednesday that he believes his party now has a “50-50 shot” of getting the chamber back less than six weeks away from the midterm elections. “We are in a bunch of close races,” McConnell told reporters during a press conference. “It’s going to be really, really close either way, in my view.” The comments reflect a greater degree of optimism from the GOP leader after he drew criticism last month from fellow Republicans when he downplayed the party’s chances in the fall elections, saying it would be more likely for the party to gain...

It’s been barely a month since President Joe Biden announced he would be forgiving $10,000 of student loan debt for millions of borrowers and his administration is already walking back certain elements of that plan. The U.S. Department of Education just quietly changed some of its own guidelines for who does and does not qualify for loan forgiveness. Specifically, it reversed its inclusion of older types of loans: Perkins loans and Federal Family Education Loans (FFEL). The plan as announced only applied to federal loans, not private ones. But it would allow Perkins and FFEL loans - which are privately...

Appearing on “Fox News Live” with Griff Jenkins on Sunday, Rep. Green was asked about Americans’ concerns the new (IRS) agents will be used to subject them to unjustified scrutiny: “Specifically, [GOP Minority Leader] McCarthy is going to put forth a bill, if he’s elected speaker, to stop this 87,000-strong army of IRS agents that have a lot of Americans, middle-class, tax-paying Americans, many who perhaps live in your district, worried that they’re headed for undue criticism and undue audits and the like. Do you want to respond to that?” “And that will bring down inflation. That will bring down...

In a recent op-ed, the Washington Post outlines how Tesla’s battery issues and fires may not just be due to poor design and manufacturing but a side effect of electric vehicles relying on lithium-ion batteries. The Washington Post reports in an op-ed titled “Tesla’s Big Batteries Aren’t the Fire Problem. Lithium Is,” that Americans should be questionubg whether lithium-ion powerpacks should be used for applications such as electric vehicles. The piece argues that the science of lithium-ion batteries make them inherently dangerous.

Gov. Gavin Newsom vetoed a bill on Thursday that would have required cities to forgive parking tickets for homeless Californians. The move was a disappointment for anti-poverty advocates across the state - who have warned that parking-ticket late fees can lead to more debt for already low-income people - and a win for cities that receive revenue from those tickets. "I am sympathetic to the author's intent to provide financial relief to extremely low-income Californians, but a statewide requirement for parking ticket forgiveness may not be the best approach," Newsom said in his veto message Thursday night. Assembly Bill 1685...

My latest song. G-d bless America.

Sticker Shock. Just a day after Californians saw gas top $6 for a gallon of regular unleaded, gasoline prices made their largest jump in seven years overnight. According to AAA, the Los Angeles-Long Beach region increased 15.3 cents overnight to $6.26/gallon Thursday.

Republican congressional hopeful Matt Jacobs is within striking distance of his incumbent Democratic opponent in a deep-blue Los Angeles district, a revelation that could force the Democratic Party to spend a race they expected to win handily. Jacobs, a former federal prosecutor, trails five-term congresswoman Julia Brownley (D., Calif.) by just 4.8 points in California's 26th Congressional District, a September OnMessage poll obtained exclusively by the Washington Free Beacon shows. While President Joe Biden won that district by a whopping 25 points two years ago, independent voters have since soured on Democrats as Americans face record-high inflation. Jacobs, for example,...

RALEIGH – The U.S. Senate race in between candidates Ted Budd (R) and Cheri Beasley (D) is in a statistical tie according to a late September Civitas Poll. The results show Beasley garnering 44% support from likely voters and Budd receiving 43.7%. Of those who plan to vote for Budd or Beasley, 60% of men are likely to vote for Budd, and 59% of women are voting for Beasley. With less than six weeks to go, one-in-ten voters remain undecided. “This race to replace Senator Richard Burr continues to be a nail-biter as we hit the 40-day mark until November...

If victorious, Christine Drazan will be the first Republican governor of Oregon in almost 40 years With only six weeks to go before Election Day, polls show Republican gubernatorial nominee Christine Drazan is in a dead heat with the Democratic candidate as she tries to pull off an unlikely win in the race to lead Oregon. The November general election features Drazan, Democratic nominee Tina Kotek, and independent Betsy Johnson in one of the nation’s only all-women races, among serious contenders. The Oregonian published a new poll conducted over the weekend showing Drazan capturing 32% of likely Oregon voters’ support,...

The Biden administration is pulling back on its student debt relief program amid numerous legal challenges, including six new lawsuits filed by Republican-led states. In a reversal from Biden’s original sweeping proposal in August to cancel federal student loans up to $20,000, the US Department of Education announced Thursday that it would not forgive debt from borrowers whose student loans are owned by private entities.

September 28, 2022 Cuban Missile Crisis 2.0 Over Ukraine? It is safe to assume that any use of nuclear weapons could quickly lead to an escalation of a local or regional conflict into a global one. by Anatoly Antonov, Russian ambassador to the United States. As Henry Kissinger wrote in 2014, “The demonization of Vladimir Putin is not a policy; it is an alibi for the absence of one.” I have commenced my work on this article for two reasons. Firstly, this October will mark sixty years since the Cuban Missile Crisis when the USSR and the United States were...

Notice, the...

In July, Ukraine’s parliament (“Verkhovna Rada”) passed a law that bans radio and TV stations from playing “Russian music” as well as distributing “printed material” in the language, according to Ukraine’s English publication, Kyiv Post. While not all “Russian-language music” is prohibited, the law has stopped some Christian radio stations from airing music in Russian. New Life Radio (NLR), an Evangelical Christian radio station in Odesa, Ukraine, has felt the effects of the ruling, since at least 40 per cent of its airtime is dedicated to worship music in Russian, according to an Evangeliques Info article. As the war with...
