A plurality of Latinos now says "neither" when asked which major political party cares more about them, according to the latest Axios-Ipsos Latino Poll in partnership with Noticias Telemundo. Why it matters: More Latinos continue to favor the Democratic Party, but their allegiance is drifting. Some Latinos signal growing differences on cultural issues and crime — and give Republicans an edge in handling the economy.

Senator Rick Scott of Florida is considering a late entry into the Republican presidential primary race, a move that would make him the latest high-profile Florida Republican to try to wrest the nomination from Donald J. Trump, according to two people familiar with the discussions. Should he enter the race, Mr. Scott, Florida’s former governor, would be challenging both the front-runner, Mr. Trump, as well as the distant-second rival, Ron DeSantis, the state’s current governor. Mr. Scott would also join Mr. Trump, Mr. DeSantis and Mayor Francis X. Suarez of Miami as the fourth Republican presidential candidate from Florida. Mr....

“I think so many people in America think that somehow America is immune to tyranny,” Yeonmi Park told a Queens crowd recently.Jeenah Moon for The New York Times “The first thing my mom taught me as a young girl living in North Korea was don’t even whisper, because birds and mice could hear me,” Yeonmi Park told the audience that had come to hear her speak in Queens. “This is what dictators do: they plant a spike everywhere, a distrust between people, a distrust between family, even. The teachers tell their children,” she went on, “‘If your parents say one...

BREAKING: All passengers on the missing Titanic sub are believed to be dead, says OceanGate company which operated the vessel

The FDA approved lab-grown meat and say it is OK for human consumption. This is the corrupt organization that gave you fake vaccines. According to the makers, they grow a cell from an animal, and meat tastes like meat, chicken tastes like chicken. The come-on is they don’t have to kill animals. And, of course, the climate crisis… It sounds like processed food on steroids. Can you imagine what they might inject into it that we don’t want? Is it crazy to envision them one day mandating we eat it and banning most farms? Between this and the insects, we’re...

An IRS whistleblower just sunk the entire Biden family and implicated President Joe Biden in Hunter’s schemes. The whistleblower revealed that Hunter Biden once sent a text message demanding payment from his Chinese business associate that said: “I am sitting here with my father and would like to understand why the commitment made has not been fulfilled.

While surfing the web I've come across images of celebrities (mostly women), AI generated images, many of them in compromising positions and many with little or no clothes on.My question is how is this "art" allowed, someone is using AI to create, in many cases, convincingly realistic nudes of women, celebrities that can be seen in films an on tv.Is this sort of thing covered by the 1A or is there so much of it (and yes there seems to be a great deal of it), that it cannot be stopped. I cannot imagine that some of these young women...

Around 4:30 AM, a Florida family of four drove themselves to the emergency room at Santa Rosa hospital. They complained that they couldn't sleep and had been up all night chatting. The family reported feeling weird. I mean, parents sitting up late into the night talking to their children about things other than how they don't need another glass of water is pretty weird I suppose. Then to their surprise, three familiar faces entered the emergency room reporting the exact same symptoms (the sleep part, not the chatting with their children about things other than glasses of water part). The...

What happens when a dangerous activity goes wrong? The existence of a waiver form may not deter a wrongful death lawsuit.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) in the coming days will introduce articles of impeachment against President Joe Biden under a privileged resolution. By superseding House Republican leadership’s ability to control what comes to the House floor, Greene will launch articles of impeachment against Joe Biden, bypassing the usual process for bringing legislation to a full House vote. “Everyone knows that Joe Biden is a criminal,........ Greene’s resolution will force House Republicans to vote on the measure. “I don’t know what it’s going to take to get them to realize what fools Republicans look like in Congress for not moving forward...

Special Counsel John Durham recently appeared before Congress to answer questions about his bombshell report on the FBI’s botched handling of Donald Trump’s alleged Russian collusion in 2016, and what Americans heard in the hallowed halls of the Capitol should chill them to the core. Durham told the House Judiciary Committee, "The FBI was too willing to accept and use politically funded and uncorroborated opposition research, such as the Steele dossier. The FBI relied on the dossier and FISA applications, knowing there was likely material originating from a political campaign or political opponent." And whose political campaign you might ask...

Explanation: Cosmic dust clouds cross a rich field of stars in this telescopic vista near the northern boundary of Corona Australis, the Southern Crown. Part of a sprawling molecular cloud complex this star forming region is a mere 500 light-years away. That's about one third the distance of the more famous stellar nursery known as the Orion Nebula. The 2 degree wide frame would span 15 light-years at the clouds' estimated distance. Mixed with bright nebulosities the dust clouds effectively block light from more distant background stars in the Milky Way and obscure from view embedded stars still in the...

and why are teachers indulging the new subculture to the alarm of parents? UK schools are seeing a phenomenon of teenage pupils identifying as cats Most children love to play ‘dress up’ and Katie Harris* is no exception. In the grounds of her school in Bedfordshire, she can often be seen wearing her cat mask and furry tail, miaowing and purring as she rubs up to her friends, who stroke her head and tickle her chin. Such imaginative play would be endearing if this were a nursery or infant school. But Katie — who now goes by the non-binary moniker...

On Thursday, the Senate failed to pass a resolution to block the AR-pistol stabilizer brace rule after Sens. Joe Manchin (D-WV) and Jon Tester (D-MT) sided with the ATF instead of their red state constituents. The Senate voted against blocking the ATF rule by a vote of 50-49. Sen.

Breitbart News reported that the ATF’s stabilizer brace rule was published in the Federal Registry January 31, 2023. The ATF noted: This rule is effective the date it is published in the Federal Register. Any weapons with “stabilizing...

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) on Thursday said he does not believe it will “ultimately matter” when asked if he would personally support former President Donald Trump if he emerges as the Republican nominee in 2024, using the opportunity to criticize the GOP frontrunner. A reporter asked DeSantis about Trump’s attacks against him, inquiring, “Regardless of his attacks, will you 100 percent pledge to support Trump as a GOP nominee?” DeSantis, however, initially refused to overtly state if he would personally support Trump. Rather, he first criticized Trump’s line of attack, particularly on DeSantis’s handling of the coronavirus, only later...

Trump-Ukraine impeachment conspirator Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, USA Ret., had a meltdown Wednesday night over the censure of Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) by the Republican controlled House of Representatives over his lies and deceitful conduct falsely accusing President Trump of Russian collusion. Vindman attacked Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) and Breitbart reporter Kristina Wong, calling Wong a “bitch.” To McCarthy, Vindman said: Vindman replied, “You are pathetic. And your deceptive efforts to damn & damage the valiant work of honorable men like @AdamSchiff will bare no fruit. In 2024, you will be sweep away & become a footnote...
