A Maryland House bill that would require tampons and other menstrual-hygiene products in both men’s and women’s bathrooms in public buildings has set off a fresh round of argument in Annapolis. Backers are pitching it as an issue of access and dignity for people who menstruate, while critics say the whole thing is unnecessary and potentially pricey to pull off.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune is facing a full-blown revolt from within his own party after floating a plan that critics say would quietly sabotage one of the most important election integrity bills in years. Conservative heavyweights Sen. Mike Lee and Rep. Anna Paulina Luna are sounding the alarm, accusing Senate leadership of trying to pull a fast one on the American people by pretending the SAVE America Act can pass through budget reconciliation. Their message is simple: it can’t — and they know it. Luna went nuclear, blasting the maneuver as a deliberate dodge to avoid forcing senators to...

The RICO hammer is finally dropping on a decade of DC corruption. he Southern District of Florida (“SDFL”) federal grand jury has just issued criminal subpoenas to major players like former FBI Director James Comey and CIA Director John Brennan. This action is no fishing expedition but rather the telltale sign that a massive RICO criminal enterprise is finally being cracked open, which I’ve suggested earlier would happen given the Clinton crime family and Seth Rich’s unsolved murder. Two thousand years ago, Jesus walked into the Temple and saw money changers and merchants turning a house of worship into a...

@FarmActionUS Rep. Thomas Massie is on the brink of securing a huge win for small farmers. His PRIME Act is officially included in the 2026 Farm Bill. If this passes, it will deliver a blow to Big Ag’s stranglehold on the meatpacking industry. “This would make it easier for local farmers to sell directly to local consumers using a local slaughterhouse.” How? It would cut the USDA out of inspections for local processing facilities. “You don’t need the USDA to inspect a facility that has seven employees.” “So what I’ve proposed is that you could just have the local health...

I am trying to set up a "Miracast" connection from my laptop to a TV, and apparently I need to manually change the IP address of my wireless router. Although the router is working just fine, I cannot "find" it from my desktop machine, which is connected via a "fast switch" and ethernet.

Sometimes it may take many years, but finally the lies are exposed, the halos crash to the ground and vindication is awarded to the truth tellers. Pardon me if I am feeling a bit of satisfaction from some shocking revelations – finally! Let me start with some details of personal events from years ago. In the 1970s I was a dedicated activist of Young Americans for Freedom (YAF) the largest conservative youth activist group in the nation. I became state chairman of the Ohio branch. It was a time of major Leftist activity on college campuses, including antiwar demonstrations and...

The pattern of Islam is to use schools and school boards, government, the courts, art museums, and other major institutions, including outreach to churches, to infiltrate, gradually introduce Shari’ah, and then finally takeover a nation. At the February meeting of the Texas State Board of Education (SBOE), Shaimaa Zayan, Operations Manager of the Austin office of Council on Islamic Relations (CAIR) went to the microphone to make public comments about revisions to the social studies curriculum standards which are under review. Why is a designated foreign terrorist organization allowed a platform to demand a full revision of the Texas social...

They were arrested on suspicion of arson with intent to endanger life after an attack on volunteer-led ambulances run by the Jewish community in Golders Green, London.

FLAGSTAFF, AZ (AZFamily) — Nearly four decades after a Northern Arizona University student was murdered outside of her apartment in Flagstaff, police have cracked the case and made an arrest. Flagstaff police announced that James Arthur Runnels Jr. was taken into custody for the murder of Ina Claire Langstaff. Police say on Nov. 7, 1987, Langstaff was found stabbed to death outside of her apartment in Flagstaff’s Old Town neighborhood. Despite an extensive investigation into the 24-year-old student’s murder, the case went unsolved for almost 40 years. Evidence collected from the original crime scene was re-examined, and several items were...

A world-renowned Napa Valley restaurant has been hit with bombshell claims of unpaid wages and vile bathrooms. Elena Flows Beteta is suing French Laundry and Thomas Keller Restaurant Group over alleged violations of the California labor code, per the Press Democrat. Beteta, who worked as a dishwasher from 2022-2025, filed the suit in Napa County Superior Court on behalf of her and “over fifty current and former aggrieved employees,” she claims. They claim the restaurant and its owners failed to “consistently pay for all hours worked, including overtime hours.” Beteta and the other employees allege they were repeatedly “required to...

War is never something the United States should engage in without very good cause. Too many of our past wars might have involved some bit of national interest, but they weren't really necessary. Kicking the crap out of Afghanistan following the Taliban's refusal to hand over Osama bin Laden? I got that completely. I was less thrilled with us going into Iraq. My take has always been that we should be slow to anger, but when we hit that point, we should descend upon our enemies like the fiery hand of God. It's what we did in the Gulf War,...

An official from Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said the minimum age for participation in war-related support roles has been lowered to 12, according to remarks aired on state media. Rahim Nadali, a cultural official with the Guards in Tehran, said an initiative called “For Iran” was recruiting participants to assist with activities such as patrols, checkpoints and logistics. “Given that the age of those coming forward has dropped and they are asking to take part, we lowered the minimum age to 12,” he said, adding that 12- and 13-year-olds could now take part if they wished. The comments were broadcast as...

U.S. intelligence intercepted Ukrainian government communications discussing a plot to route hundreds of millions of American tax dollars earmarked for clean energy in the war-torn country and move them to the United States to enrich then-President Joe Biden’s 2024 re-election campaign and the Democratic National Committee, according to a declassified intelligence report summarizing the intercepts that was obtained by Just the News. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard recently learned of the intercepts and has asked the U.S. Agency for International Development officials to scour for records to see if the plot actually was carried out and whether a criminal...

Many years ago, at the height of anti-Vietnam War agitation, leaders of the movement would say that they weren’t anti-war, they were on the other side. I was reminded of that, watching this video of left-wingers cheering for American soldiers to be killed: (video at source) There are quite a few people at this rally. Some are obviously Middle Eastern, while others look like mainstream Democrats. To the extent that people who attended this rally are not citizens, they should be deported. If they are naturalized citizens, they should be denaturalized. Whoever is left should be shunned and banned from...

Former CIA Director John Brennan was panned by the White House and social media users Tuesday for wild comments suggesting Iran is more trustworthy than President Trump. Brennan – one of the 51 ex-intelligence officials who claimed in an infamous letter that The Post’s bombshell scoop on Hunter Biden’s laptop emails was part of a “Russian information operation” – cast doubt on Trump’s claim that negotiations were underway with Tehran to end the war, during an appearance on MS NOW Monday. The Iranian regime has denied it is talking to the Trump administration, prompting MS NOW host Symone Sanders –...

While Gavin Newsom’s years-long run for President drags on, his other half is making a media splash. But not quite in the way she expected. No one runs a perpetual presidential campaign quite like the ostensible governor of California, Gavin Newsom. And with the Democrat bench for 2028 serving up warmed-over socialists, commies, and grifters like failed candidate Kamala Harris, French-Laundry Gavin can’t be readily dismissed as the next portside nominee. So, people are beginning to look a bit closer at Jennifer Seibel Newsom. And she’s turning out to be a living, breathing internet meme of Affluent White Female Liberal.Jennifer...
