The bill’s language states that “the products must be available to all menstruating students” in grades four through 12. Schools districts and charter schools in Minnesota will be required to stock period products in school bathrooms for free use, including in boys’ bathrooms. At the end of May, Gov. Tim Walz signed into law an education finance bill which includes requirements for schools to provide menstrual products at no charge starting in January 2024. The bill’s language states that “the products must be available to all menstruating students” in grades four through 12. Each school district must develop a plan...

The RINO Chairman Fervier is mighty unhappy about this. Of course his claims of Res Judicata are pure BS. The only investigation that was done was by Ratburger "investigating" his own handiwork and claiming everything was OK. This is another excellent development from the Georgia Election Board.

[Catholic Caucus] Catholic Standard - Competing With The Washington Blade? The Catholic Standard, media mouthpiece for the Archdiocese of Washington, sunk to a new low in its support of depravity. It doesn't matter that the depravity originates from the Archbishop of Washington himself. Those who run the Standard are Catholics and owe their allegiances first to Our Lord Jesus Christ. I wish I could say that I am shocked, but sadly I am not.Cardinal Gregory offered that Mass at the perversion celebration at Georgetown last Saturday, and the Standard has the unmitigated gall to publish it. I suggest you read...

Before Tuesday, vice presidential contender Tim Walz was hardly a household name. Now that the Minnesota governor has been the subject of round-the-clock news interviews and viral videos, he has also picked up a new nickname. Enter “Tampon Tim,” conservatives’ response to the 2024 state law Walz signed that requires public schools to provide menstrual products in student bathrooms.It hardly feels like much of a “gotcha” moniker, though. Periods have been a mainstream public policy priority for the better part of the last decade. And California has been at the forefront. Since 2017, the Legislature has passed a series of...

House Speaker Emerita Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said Wednesday on MSNBC’s “Andrea Mitchell Reports” that some of her Republican colleagues have told her that if Vice President Kamala Harris can defeat Donald Trump, they can get “back to our debate on the issues.” Pelosi said, “Let’s just talk about the glory of Kamala and Tim, the promise that they have put out there, the enthusiasm.” Mitchell said, “You talk about John McCain and talking to him and he gave you a heads-up he was going to vote, the key vote to save The Affordable Care Act, Obamacare, so there used...

The Job Creators Network on Wednesday debuted a parody of the Eagles' hit song "Hotel California," laden with lyrics outlining the record of Vice President Kamala Harris in the Golden State. "Democrat policies have killed California and are hurting American families and small businesses nationwide. Do we really want Kamala’s California everywhere?" the organization posted on X. Accompanying the post was a music video including the parody song "Kamala's California," which makes reference to her appointment as "border czar" and the state's high-tax policies. "On a dark Sacramento highway, cool wind in my hair, a rotten smell of ambition in...

Joe Biden sat down for a pre-recorded interview with CBS News reporter Robert Costa. The interview was conducted on Sunday and will air in full on Sunday, August 11. Joe Biden has not been publicly in more than 3 days. CBS played a clip from Biden’s interview with Robert Costa. “Are you confident that there will be a peaceful transfer of power in January 2025?” CBS News reporter Robert Costa asked Biden. “If Trump wins, no, I’m not confident at all,” Biden said before correcting himself: “I mean if Trump loses, I’m not confident at all. He means what he...

Prosecutors in special counsel David Weiss' office are accusing Hunter Biden of accepting payments from a Romanian businessman "to influence U.S. government agencies" while his father Joe Biden was vice president. If true, the allegation would mark the closest prosecutors have come to tying President Joe Biden to his son's overseas business endeavors -- a matter congressional Republicans have spent years scrutinizing.

Anyone who claims to understand the forces at work in modern U.S. politics has almost certainly exaggerated. For instance, on July 13, former President Donald Trump responded to a failed assassination attempt with a display of defiant courage. Afterward, only the most deranged Trump haters could deny that they had witnessed what all human beings from the beginning of time have recognized as rare bravery. Then, little more than three weeks later, Vice President and 2024 Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris chose as her running mate a man who, according to a former command sergeant major and fellow NCO in...

CHICAGO (WLS) -- Wednesday was a glorious day to enjoy Chicago tourist attractions, but will there be the same vibrant energy during the Democratic National Convention? Some hope so. The Chicago Loop Alliance held a meeting Wednesday about safety and security during the Democratic National Convention. The organization represents 30 businesses. It urged its member to go about business as usual during the convention. "We haven't heard any of our businesses recommend that their employees not come to work," said Kiana DiStasi with the Chicago Loop Alliance. The president of Illinois Hotel and Lodging Association, Michael Jacobson, said some hotels...

An Arizona Republican pleaded guilty to one misdemeanor Tuesday in the state’s 2020 election case, marking the first guilty conviction prosecutors have secured since bringing the sweeping indictment in April. Loraine Pellegrino pleaded guilty to one count of filing a false document, a significant reduction in her initial charges, according to a court filing. Pellegrino initially faced nine counts alongside 17 other defendants in an indictment brought by Arizona Attorney General Kristin Mayes, an elected Democrat. Pellegrino was one of 11 defendants who positioned themselves as alternate electors in 2020, while the other defendants were charged for other alleged illegal...

To all my entrepreneurial patriots out there, I've got a question on Gross Margin (GM) and how do most view the topic of 'paying the entrepreneur' question. Q:As a budding manufacturing business owner/engineer I would like to know if: 1) my $99 price point product has enough margin or if I need to up the price? 2) Would most entrepreneurs include the labor in the GM calc if they are the only one performing labor and they are not supposed to be paying themselves like the sharks on Sharktank always harp on? Background.... I'd really like to keep the price...

I haven't been following Britain well at all, and snooping around to try to catch up, I came across some arrest information from 2016 for content posted on Social media. If it was that bad in 2016, I can't imagine what social media policing is like there now. Many in Britain are posting massive protest videos on X.com. Are they going to be charged with 'inciting to riot'? Prayers up.Two clarifications:1. The "3,300" figure i(below) is likely a reference to a 2017 piece in The Times.More than 3,300 people were detained and questioned last year over so-called trolling on social...

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul signed several pieces of legislation into law Tuesday aimed to improve voter protections and accessibility, her office announced.

Bloomberg News got caught covering up Tim Walz’s stolen valor. “We can make sure those weapons of war, that I carried in war, are only carried in war,” Tim Walz previously said. Walz never deployed. WATCH: Tim Walz dropped out of the Army after his unit was deployed to Iraq. Bloomberg reporter Josh Green stealth-edited his piece to swap out “Iraq” for “Italy.” Did Walz mislead the Bloomberg reporter? Bloomberg’s original piece with Walz’s lie about being a combat veteran in Iraq:

a stone-cold socialist ... Tim Walz has never "carried" a weapon "in war" because Tim Walz - citizen soldier - has never been to war. The closest he got to a battlefield in 25 years in various Guard units was a deployment to Italy.... In late summer of 2003 ... when his unit got called up for deployment to an actual war zone in 2005 and Tim Walz had been appointed as their command's acting senior enlisted leader? Tim Walz bugged out on his guys. "Retired" to run for Congress, while everyone else he'd trained with left for battlefields in...

On Wednesday’s broadcast of ABC’s “GMA3,” Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey (D) responded to criticisms of 2024 Democratic vice presidential candidate Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz’s (D) handling of riots in the state in 2020 by stating that a governor’s job “is to de-escalate, to protect public safety, to bring calm. That’s what Tim Walz was doing in that moment, he was trying to de-escalate.” Co-host Erielle Reshef asked, “Governor, Republicans are taking the opportunity to go after Walz for his record and what they say was a missed opportunity or mishap during the protests in his own state, a mishandling of...

Casey Wright 🥖🎪 @503i7 BREAKING Joe Biden’s FBI just raided Scott Ritter’s residence. The video on the right explains the proximate reason for this. The State Department funds Ukraines “kill list” of “information terrorists” and Scott has topped that list many times.

The year's biggest and best meteor shower is upon us, and NASA officials are urging Americans to flee the city this weekend. The Perseid meteor shower, set to peak from the evening of Sunday through Monday, could produce 50 to 75 shooting stars per hour. But the US space agency warned that if you live in an urban area, light pollution could dim the cosmic show. Skygazers should head outside between 12am and 5:30am to see the meteors streak through a pre-dawn sky. This peak period occurs when there is almost no moon and the sky is especially dark, providing...

Evidence has been building about the health benefits of probiotics. Now, new research has found that putting a tablespoon of honey on your yogurt helps the probiotics it contains to survive in the gut. It’s a win-win combination that’s both healthy and delicious. Humans love to ferment food and drinks – think kimchi, kombucha and beer – and we’ve been doing it for tens of thousands of years. Yogurt is a fermented favorite. Conventional yogurts are produced by fermenting milk using a standard ‘starter culture’ of Lactobacillus and Streptococcus bacterial species; probiotic yogurts supplement the starter culture with probiotic strains...
