Katie Hobbs’ first budget proposal, released on Friday, January 13, calls for the defunding and total elimination of Arizona’s ‘Border Strike Force,’ $40 million for illegal immigrants to receive in-state tuition rates, and the repeal of a new school voucher law giving school choice to all families. As The Gateway Pundit reported, in 2022, The Arizona Legislature passed a new law expanding the Empowerment Scholarship Account program, giving every family in the state the freedom to choose their child’s school no matter which school they attend. Katie Hobbs did everything possible to prevent this law from taking effect late last...

South Dakota governor talks Right, but keeps selling out to gender revolutionaries -- and knifing conservatives who call her on itI wish I could bring myself to care about the big GOP fight in the House of Representatives over the speakership. I know it's important, but I don't really take the Washington party to be serious about the issues that move me the most. I think it's probably the case that more Washington Republicans are serious than I realize, but in general, I vote Republican not because I expect them to do much, but because they do less harm than...

President Joe Biden used a speech honoring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. on Monday to stoke racial division, accusing car insurance companies of being racist for charging different rates based on location. “If you live in one of those neighborhoods and you have the same exact car I have in the other neighborhood, you pay more for your insurance than that side,” Biden said sternly. “No basis for it! None at all other than you’re black, and I’m white.”

Anchor Don Lemon said Monday on “CNN This Morning” that President Joe Biden failed to adequately explain his mishandling of classified documents. Lemon said, “Over the weekend, five additional pages of classified information found at Joe Biden’s residence in Wilmington, Delaware. How concerned are you about that? And are you satisfied with the attorney general that he has now appointed a special counsel to investigate this?”

Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) introduced a House Bill criminalizing “conspiracy to commit white supremacy,” which includes criticism of non-white people which influences an individual to commit a hate crime. The legislation, H.R.61 “Leading Against White Supremacy Act of 2023,” introduced last Monday by Democratic congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee of Texas, seeks to “prevent and prosecute white supremacy inspired hate crime and conspiracy to commit white supremacy inspired hate crime.”

MSNBC anchor Joe Scarborough said Monday on his show “Morning Joe” that President Joe Biden and his administration were “bumbling and stumbling” through his mishandling of classified documents found at his home and office. Scarborough said, “What’s going on here? The stumbling and bumbling around over the past month or so has been pretty extraordinary since November when they first started discovering these documents. They’ll have a press conference and say, ‘Well, we think that’s it. We don’t think there are any more.’ They don’t know. They haven’t known. What’s happened here? I guess, again, transparency, I think, works best...

Emails from the “Laptop from Hell” in 2010 show Hunter Biden paid for home repairs on President Joe Biden’s Delaware residence, where stashed classified documents were unearthed by the president’s attorneys on Wednesday. Hunter paid thousands of dollars for Joe Biden’s home maintenance, including a $190 per month AT&T phone bill, according to emails between Hunter and Eric Schwerin, his business partner at Rosemont Seneca.

Brice Williams, a local drag queen who counseled LGBT youth in Harrisburg, has been charged with downloading photos and videos of child pornography two years ago, court documents said. Williams, 26, of Chambersburg, is charged with 25 counts of child pornography for at least 49 photos and 25 videos of naked, prepubescent boys that the Pennsylvania Attorney General’s Office said he downloaded between May and December 2020. The sexually-explicit content showed genitalia and boys performing sex acts on one another — sometimes with an adult man, as well, according to an affidavit of probable cause filed Thursday. Authorities said the...

Two weeks after a missile strike killed dozens of freshly mobilized Russians at a makeshift barracks in eastern Ukraine, many back home in Russia are still seeking an answer to the question: Are their relatives alive or dead? One 36-year-old woman, searching for her cousin, who served in one of the regiments housed at the barracks, said the recruiting office told her he was doing his duty. “Wait for news,” she said she was told. Now she is calling hospitals asking whether her relative turned up there. Yet the New Year’s Day strike in the Russian-occupied city of Makiivka that...

EMERGENCY crews had to smash down the wall of a flat during a 17-hour bid to rescue a 50st heart attack victim. They then built a ramp to get him out his first-floor council pad in an estimated £10,000 operation. Among those there were more than 25 firefighters, 15 paramedics, five cops and an urban search and rescue team — who normally deal with earthquakes. Council officials were also on hand to survey damage to the block in Acton, West London, which is home to more than 40 residents. The operation began with a 999 call at 2am on Friday....

The UK government has blocked a new law intended to allowed trans people in Scotland to change their legal gender without a medical diagnosis – a controversial move that has added fuel to the already highly emotional debate over Scottish independence. Scottish Secretary Alister Jack announced on Monday that Westminster has taken the highly unusual step of blocking the Scottish bill from becoming law because it was concerned about its impact on UK-wide equality laws. Here’s what you need to know: What’s in the Scottish law ? Scotland passed a new law in December to make it easier for people...

North Carolina’s Division of Motor Vehicles has now OK’d more than 200 phrases that had been blocked from being affixed to vanity license plates, including some related to sexual orientation. Among the terms removed from the DMV’s extensive do-not-issue list for personalized plates following a review late last year were “GAYPRIDE,” “LESBIAN” and “QUEER,” WFDD-FM reported. Such entries prompted DMV Commissioner Wayne Goodwin to launch a formal review of the list — containing over 9,000 items — for the first time in its two-decade history, according to the radio station. “Anything on the do-not-issue list should not include the LGBT...

I just bought a new Harley. It is so beautiful. I love it so much. I am thinking of going to Bike Week in Daytona in March, driving in the AM from Orlando. Anyone even been there before? Anyone going again this year? Was it cancelled last year and/or the year before?

Dear Quentin, I find myself facing an issue that is rather complex, and I am not sure what to do. I live with two roommates, and during the pandemic we didn’t pay any utility bills thanks to a moratorium that allowed us to amass debt with no interest. We split the electric bill equally, but it’s in my name only. The rub is that we are all moving out in February, and per our moratorium agreement, we’re not obligated to pay the bill until 2024. I’m concerned that one of my roommates will just drop communication when it comes time...

A Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department detective died after suffering a medical emergency while driving in the Carson area late Sunday, officials said. The crash was reported just after 10 p.m. near the intersection of West Carson Street and Vermont Avenue. The deputy suffered some type of medical emergency while heading east on West Carson Street and was involved in a “single vehicle traffic collision,” sheriff’s officials said in a news release. No other vehicles or motorists were involved.

More than half of trans women who have 'bottom' surgery are in so much pain years later they need medical attention, a study suggests. Up to a third of patients also struggled to use the toilet or suffered sexual issues 12 months after the operation, which sees patients transitioning from male to female given a surgically constructed vagina.

By now, I’m sure you’ve seen it. The new Boston sculpture “honoring” Dr. Martin Luther King and his wife, Coretta Scott King, looks more like a pair of hands hugging a beefy penis than a special moment shared by the iconic couple. Created by the organization Embrace Boston, the sculpture has inspired mad jokes on Twitter, and rightly so. But for my family, it’s rather insulting. You see, Coretta was my first cousin, my grandfather’s niece, and the daughter of my great uncle Obediah Scott. Martin married up. Coretta came from a distinguished family, with a significant legacy in her...

The people have had enough. At least six BBC buildings across the UK were covered with placards and photos of people who died from the COVID vaccine.
