    A European Union commissioner sent a letter to billionaire Elon Musk Monday, warning him that he must comply with EU law ahead of his interview with Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump on his social media platform X, or face legal consequences.

    You no doubt have conservative friends who strongly dislike Donald Trump. They can’t tolerate his take-no-prisoners rhetoric. His personality rubs them the wrong way -- he’s abrasive, crude, and in their opinion, obnoxious. Their attitude reveals a form of narrow-mindedness known as tunnel vision. These conservative NeverTrumpers, when asked, typically admit that they like his policies -- securing the border, smaller government, lower taxes, and deregulation, to name a few. They say they could never vote for him, though. They apparently want a perfect candidate, but no such animal exists and they know it. They seem stuck on making the...

    Los Angeles lawman William Hammel tamed one of the West’s wildest towns with hard work and Horseless CarriagesPolice Chief Hammel, courtesy J.R. Sanders Los Angeles, California. Not everyone’s picture of a wild-and-woolly Western town—even though Wyatt Earp, who spent his last years there, claimed Tombstone in its heyday “wasn’t half as bad as Los Angeles.” Policing the City of Angels, and the 4,000-square-mile county of coastline, desert and mountains encompassing it, took a special breed of lawmen. Men like Billy Hammel. Native Angeleno William Augustus Hammel was born March 13, 1865. The son of a doctor and educated at Santa...

    American comedian Reginald D. Hunter made an anti-Israel comment during a stand-up show in Edinburgh, UK, sparking a show of anti-Israel sentiment from the audience and animosity towards an Israeli couple who held front-row tickets, The Telegraph's Dominic Cavendish reported. At the Sunday night performance, Hunter compared a scene in a documentary about an abusive wife claiming her husband was abusive to Israel's self-defense in its war against Hamas in Gaza. Commenting on the documentary scene, Hunter said, "My God, it’s like being married to Israel." Some in the audience laughed at the remark, but a couple in the front...

    A new memo revealed that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) retaliated against a group of agency whistleblowers who blew the lid off their non-compliance with a law requiring DNA collection from unlawful immigrants.

    The Pennsylvania Department of State recently announced that the results of the state’s upcoming election may not be available on election night. The department emphasized in a social media post that delays in counting are expected, stating, “Pennsylvanians won’t always know the final results of all races on election night. Any changes in results that occur as counties continue to count ballots are not evidence that an election is ‘rigged.’” The post also directed readers to a website focused on fact-checking information related to Pennsylvania’s election process. This announcement recalls the 2020 election, where early results initially suggested a lead...
