Last night I attended a fundraiser for a man named David Timm, He's running for Sangamon County sheriff. That's good news. In Sangamon County, we are use to not electing people, but having them appointed. Why?

About a century ago, scientists were struggling to reconcile what seemed a contradiction in Albert Einstein’s theory of general relativity. Published in 1915, and already widely accepted worldwide by physicists and mathematicians, the theory assumed the universe was static – unchanging, unmoving and immutable. In short, Einstein believed the size and shape of the universe today was, more or less, the same size and shape it had always been. But when astronomers looked into the night sky at faraway galaxies with powerful telescopes, they saw hints the universe was anything but that. These new observations suggested the opposite – that...

It’s been five years since the George Floyd/BLM protests and riots. Therefore, the left-wing legacy media seizes upon this occasion to pull out its race-colored thermometer to measure America’s post George Floyd “racial progress.” A recent New York Times headline read, “Five Years After Floyd—We look at what has changed since George Floyd’s murder.” According to the Times, not much: “States and cities enacted new policies aimed at improving policing, but the data suggests that these changes have had little impact on accountability or the number of killings by police officers.” Another Times article wrote: “Sunday is the fifth anniversary...

Investors are pouring into silver and platinum as they seek "gold alternatives" and hedges against the U.S. dollar, sending prices for both metals soaring. With the U.S. dollar's status as a safe haven for global capital under threat, gold has enjoyed a historic rally, surging 25% since the beginning of the year as investors use it as a hedge against uncertainty. However, amid concerns that gold may now be overvalued, other precious metals such as silver and platinum are starting to catch up. Silver prices have surged to a 13-year high, and platinum prices are at their highest levels in...

It’s easier for a person to fall asleep on a couch compared to a bed because the person isn’t necessarily thinking or worried about falling asleep. “The awkward angles can really mess with your neck and back,” says Beasley, the founder of Boise ENT.

Everyone probably remembers during Donald Trump’s first presidency when Kelly Osbourne completely jammed her foot in her mouth during a segment on The View when she got a little carried away talking like a tough guy, delivering what she no doubt thought was a zinger: “If you kick every Latino out of this country, then who is going to be cleaning your toilet, Donald Trump?”It was such a monumental jack** moment, even the other View women gasped and cringed, and Osbourne quickly backpeddled.That was only the beginning. Since then, Democrat after Democrat has warned what enforcing immigration law means (but...

US President Donald Trump on Thursday signed three congressional resolutions aimed at overturning California’s push to accelerate electric vehicle adoption and ban the sale of petrol-powered cars by 2035. The move rolls back a key part of California’s climate policy, which had been adopted by 11 other states. Trump, speaking at the White House, called the state’s policy “a disaster for this country.” “We officially rescue the US auto industry from destruction by terminating California’s electric vehicle mandate,” he said. The resolutions come after lobbying by automakers including General Motors and Toyota, which had opposed California’s rules on grounds of...

On Wednesday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “The Briefing,” host Jen Psaki stated that California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) is doing “sort of the opposite” of Texas Gov.
