<p>From gun violence to busy roads to access to emergency care, many factors can shape the safety of a community, which in turn helps determine the health of a community.</p><p>In assessing dozens of factors that shape and show the health of nearly 3,000 counties and county equivalents across the country, the 2024 Healthiest Communities rankings explore this relationship. In the public safety category of the rankings, communities are scored on a 100-point scale tied to their performance relative to one another across seven metrics in three key areas: crime, injuries and public safety capacity. Individual metrics include violent and property crime rates, the share of the population in proximity to emergency facilities, spending on health and emergency services, vehicle crash fatality rate and more.</p>

Hey, Tim Walz isn’t so bad. In an age when leftists compete with one another in how much they can repudiate and mock traditional values, it is surprising and refreshing to discover that the Democrats’ shiny new vice-presidential candidate, America’s dad, is a regular churchgoer. Walz’s Christian piety, however, is not exactly the sort of thing that would put you in mind of Augustine, Aquinas, Martin Luther, Mother Theresa, or any other prominent Christian you’d care to name. In fact, it’s just the sort of thing you’d expect: the far left at prayer. The Daily Caller reported Wednesday that Democratic...

Dear Keir Starmer, I'm calling out the Fascist United Kingdom government for its tone-deaf and totally inappropriate response to the disorder on the streets of Southport and the rest of this country. I'm calling for peace. Could you actually listen for once? (more in video). Open Letter to Keir Starmer

Nevada has agreed to purge over 90,000 ineligible voters from its rolls following a legal battle with the Republican National Committee and the Trump campaign, according to a press statement from the Nevada GOP. The purge will focus on Clark County, which includes Las Vegas, and will remove individuals no longer active under state law, the Wednesday statement alleged,RNC Chair Michael Whatley praised the decision as a significant step for voter security. “Election integrity starts with clean voter rolls, and that’s why we’ve brought litigation in key states to compel outcomes just like this,” he tweeted.The Nevada GOP’s Executive Board...

Possibly very true. Also possibly very true: The US might need to strike actual gold to afford it. Nevertheless, Donald Trump has emphasized his desire to find new places to cut taxes in order to generate real economic growth. Those ideas are also clearly aimed at finding inroads into traditional Democrat constituencies. A proposal to end taxes on tips has a lot of appeal for low-income servers, who are likely younger voters, and both are key demos for Kamala Harris and other Democrats. It didn't woo the culinary union leaders, but it might appeal to their members.His latest proposal clearly...

The official word so far is that no one really saw this coming, not Russia and not even the United States. Ukraine's decision to invade Russia is looking like a high-risk gamble but so far it appears to be paying off.After months of losing ground to Russia in brutal, grinding battles in Ukraine, Kyiv shifted tactics with a surprise attack into Russian territory this week that caught Moscow off guard and opened a new front in the 30-month war.Ukrainian forces have punched through Russian border defenses and seized several settlements in fighting that was still raging on Thursday, according to...

A CNN correspondent harshly fact-checked Gov. Tim Walz, D-Minn., on Wednesday, declaring that "there is no evidence" he carried weapons in combat as the vice presidential candidate appeared to previously imply. Since Vice President Kamala Harris announced Walz as her 2024 running mate, his political and military record have come under intense scrutiny. Sen. JD Vance, R-Ohio, former President Trump’s running mate, accused Walz of misleading the country about his veteran status on Wednesday. "He said, 'We shouldn't allow weapons that I used in war to be on America's streets.' Well, I wonder, Tim Walz, when were you ever in...

Three senior executives at the voting machine company Smartmatic have been charged in a massive bribery scheme.

Have noticed now twice on video of Tim Walz with the "nominee" in public events-- giving the palms together raised gesture normally seen perhaps in India at a Hindu event or a jazz show-- the "Namaste". He purports to be a Presbyterian "christian" at a congregation that has guidebook indicating that God should not be referred to as "Him" (something Athiests relegate to "he must never be capitalized"- yes that petty). Check it out- and spread it around. We are not a COMMUNE- we are the United States of America. We are not a non-sovereign nation, we are not a...

A Florida man was not lovin' it ... and clearly didn't want to live más ... after his wife got him McDonald's and Taco Bell for his birthday. St. Petersburg dentist Esha Persad, 34, was arrested and charged with battery after police responded to a call to her home after midnight last Saturday night. According to an arrest affidavit via Law&Crime, she and her husband of five years, Shiva Persad, were celebrating his birthday when an argument broke out over what they were eating on his special day. "The defendant and the victim were having an argument about the...

Vice President Kamala Harris refused to answer on Thursday whether she accepted former President Donald Trump’s challenge to debate three separate times. Trump offered on Thursday to debate Harris on September 4 on Fox News, September 10 on NBC News, and September 25 on ABC News. Harris agreed to debate on September 10 on NBC News but refused to comment on whether she would participate in the other two.

On Tuesday, former Republicans whose distaste for conservative populism has landed them in the Never Trump category — and were looking for a place to land with Kamala Harris — were left homeless once again when she went far to the left by selecting Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) as a running mate. On social media, Matt Lewis, podcaster and author of Too Dumb to Fail, posted gloomily, “If you were a Never Trump conservative who was hoping to rationalize a vote for the Dem ticket (a short-term alliance) it just got harder.” Charlie Sykes, a former Milwaukee conservative radio host...

What is the founding principle of the USA? I say it is freedom and liberty. I believe that freedom and liberty is what has led to being the most prosperous nation on the planet, with the most dominant military. I think if we continue to focus freedom and liberty then we will remain the global superpower. Then why am I uneasy? I fear that prosperity inevitably leads to weak times and weak men. At the height of their affluence Roman birth rates were under replacement level. Other modern affluent western nations have also seen their populations go below replacement levels....
