Opposition to new Environmental Protection Agency tailpipe regulations is growing after the federal agency projected the regulation would put more than half of American drivers out of gas cars and into electric vehicles.As The Center Square previously reported, the EPA has projected that the proposed changes would mean that fully electric vehicles make up two thirds of all new "light duty" and 46% of new medium-duty vehicle sales by 2032. That would include most regular consumer vehicles, even SUVs and many pickup trucks. Currently, electric vehicles make up less than 5% of the market.A group of 151 House Republicans rallied...

(LifeSiteNews) — The Los Angeles Dodgers threw Catholics and conservatives a curveball on Monday by reversing their decision not to spotlight the blasphemous anti-Catholic drag group known as the “Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence” as Community Hero Award honorees next month. Instead, the team will recognize the group on the Feast of the Sacred Heart. The Major League Baseball franchise made the announcement in a Monday evening statement, saying it had decided to honor the group — which engages in deliberately offensive sexualized burlesque mockeries of Catholicism — after just last week canceling plans to do so when the public expressed...

There are 646 rural hospitals at risk of closure due to financial issues, comprising around 30 percent of all rural hospitals in the U.S., according to the Center for Healthcare Quality & Payment Reform.The hospitals face losses on patient services as health plans aren't paying enough to cover the cost of care delivery. The losses will likely increase as inflation and workforce shortages persist, according to the report, which was released in April. While rural hospitals are receiving some support through grants, local tax revenues or other profits, they still have low financial reserves and remain at risk.More than half...

LINCOLN, Nebraska (LifeSiteNews) — Nebraska Republican Gov. Jim Pillen on Monday signed a law that restricts surgical and chemical mutilation of gender-confused kids and protects preborn babies from elective abortions at 12 weeks’ gestation. “All children deserve a chance to grow and live happy, fruitful lives,” Pillen said. “This includes pre-born boys and girls, and it includes children struggling with their gender identity.” Legislative Bill 574 prohibits “gender-altering surgery” for minors, such as mastectomies and genital surgeries, while requiring the state’s chief medical officer, Dr. Timothy Tesmer, an appointee of Pillen, to issue regulations on the use of transgender drugs....

The Biden administration is set to end familial DNA testing at the US-Mexico border, which has been key to preventing the fraudulent entry of many illegal immigrants and mitigating child trafficking, according to a memo obtained by Just The News. The DNA testing was originally implemented in the Trump-era and utilized by Customs Border Protection – following a court order related to the separation of migrant children from their families and evidence drug cartels were using children to create fake family units to sneak illegal immigrants across the border. But over the weekend, a CBP memo sent to frontline border...

I am a libertarian. To me, freedom looks like the essential glue or fabric for society. Freedom needs discipline. I speculate that my poet’s etymological analysis of the word “freedom” can give us both freedom and discipline in the one word. To do this, I first suggest that the roots of the word “freedom” can lead us to call it the home or homes where we can feel free. For me today, the word "freedom" combines the adjective "free" with the Latin word "domus" or home to mean a home or homes where someone can feel free. This is an...

TAMPA, Florida (LifeSiteNews) — A large drag queen and “pride” celebration planned for September has been canceled by organizers due to fears it would violate the state’s new anti-lewdness law.

DeSantis said when he signed...

Shortly after 10 p.m., Secret Service said the driver crashed their truck into security barriers on the north side of Lafayette Square at 16th Street.

Another IRS whistleblower involving the Hunter Biden investigation has been revealed, and according to a new report, threats of retaliation via criminal prosecution followed.That revelation comes after the IRS removed the entire investigative team overseeing the Hunter Biden case, which involves allegations of tax fraud and failure to file taxes. That left many with the impression that a full-scale cover-up was in effect. The request to remove the team reportedly came directly from the DOJ, which has continued to inexplicably stall any kind of final decision on whether to prosecute the president’s degenerate son.(See: In Shocking Development, IRS Removes Team...
