Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton yet again predicted the end of democracy if former President Donald Trump is elected president in 2024. Appearing on The View on Wednesday, Trump's 2016 White House opponent was asked by co-host Sunny Hostin about the possibility of the former president winning another term. "I can't even think that because I think it would be the end of our country as we know it and I don't say that lightly," Clinton responded. The former presidential candidate said she hated losing in 2016, "especially to him." "Everything that I worried about I saw unfolding and...

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass called to remove "obstacles" for new police recruits and pledged to root out officers with ties to "right-wing domestic extremist organizations." Bass is looking to remove "obstacles" for police recruits who fail to initially qualify for training as a means of further diversifying the LAPD, according to a summary of her public safety goals obtained by Fox News Digital – but police union leaders are questioning the move. Bass' summary of goals for police reform includes a list of provisions as well as dates by which the department must report back regarding progress. One provision...

A Washington State school district was called out after one of its teachers professed their favor toward keeping secrets about school children from their supposed “Christo-fascist parents.” Karen (Kelly) Love is a faculty member at Auburn High School in Auburn, Washington who evidently thinks highly of herself as an arbiter of what parents should and shouldn’t know about their school-aged children. So much so, that she wasn’t shy about publicly sharing her view that it is a teacher’s responsibility to disregard policy and even laws about parental rights to protect the progressive agenda. America First Legal’s Ian Prior drew attention...

A new Florida bill would make it illegal for dogs to stick their heads out of car windows in the Sunshine State. State Sen. Lauren Book, a Democrat who represents parts of South Florida, introduced the animal welfare bill last week. It would prohibit a dog owner from allowing their pet to "extend its head or any other body part outside a motor vehicle window while the person is operating the motor vehicle on a public roadway." If the bill is passed, dogs must also be on a harness or in a pet seatbelt when traveling in a car.

Special education teacher, Alicia Messing, testified before the Arizona Senate Education Committee in opposition to Arizona bill SB1700. The bill would give parents greater insight into materials used by their schools and a procedure for objecting to material they find objectionable, especially those that are found to be ‘lewd or sexual in nature, that promote gender fluidity or gender pronouns or that groom children into normalizing pedophilia’. Messing seemed quite confident that her master’s degree qualified her to make these decisions for parents. She went even further to explain her philosophy with the following quote: ‘The purpose of public education...

The Yuba County Five were a group of young men from Yuba City, California, with mild intellectual disabilities or psychiatric conditions, who attended a college basketball game at California State University, Chico, on the night of February 24, 1978. Four of them—Bill Sterling, 29; Jack Huett, 24; Ted Weiher, 32; and Jack Madruga, 30—were later found dead; the fifth, Gary Mathias, 25, has never been found. Several days after their initial disappearance, the group's Mercury Montego was found, abandoned, in a remote area of Plumas National Forest on a high mountain dirt road that was far out of their way...

The history of film is long and complex, dating back as early as the year 1888 with Louis Le Prince's first-ever motion picture. Since then, film has grown and evolved with more complex stories, better audio and visuals, and enhanced cinematography. Yet what has perhaps improved the most are film preservation techniques that ensure a film can be viewed and studied for decades to come. However, some films are considered forever lost; whether they were destroyed in a horrible accidental fire or simply corroded away due to the passage of time, lost films are mesmerizing for their mystery and serve...

A new bill in the Washington state Senate would allow alcohol sales in strip clubs. Dancers at a hearing on the measure seem to be all for it. “The time for a change in this industry is long overdue,” Sharla, one of the dancers who testified, said. Right now, only non-alcoholic beverages are served. Alcohol sales would bring a new source of revenue to the clubs, something the entertainers are all for. "It would take away a tool that abusive clubs use to put pressure on dancers,” Emily said. “It would make Washington clubs on par with other states where...

Five Latino members of the Connecticut Legislature co-sponsored a bill last month to ban the word “Latinx” from all state documents. As lawmaker Geraldo Reyes Jr. put it recently, “We don’t really use it, and we find it very offensive.” Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders has also prohibited official use of the term, which the Associated Press characterizes as a “gender-neutral” alternative to Latino. The AP describes Ms. Sanders as “tapping into a debate that’s divided Hispanics along generational lines,” but I‘ve seen no evidence of such a debate here in predominantly Latino Miami-Dade County. Nobody uses Latinx here either....

President Joe Biden on Tuesday is expected to tout the nation's economic health in his State of the Union Address, just days after a blockbuster jobs report showed a strong labor market has coincided with a monthslong easing of inflation. Looking ahead, however, Biden is expected to propose solutions for what he considers an ongoing economic ill: income and wealth inequality. The wealth of the top 1% increased by $6.5 trillion in 2021, according to a study the Federal Reserve released last year. That wealthiest sliver of Americans controls 32% of the country's wealth, the study found. The Biden administration's...

SACRAMENTO — California bans guns for domestic violence offenders. It bans them for people deemed a danger to others or themselves. There is a ban on large-capacity magazines, and a ban on noise-muffling silencers. Semiautomatic guns of the sort colloquially known as “assault weapons” are, famously, banned. More than 100 gun laws — the most of any state — are on the books in California. They have saved lives, policymakers say: Californians have among the lowest rates of gun death in the United States. Yet this month, those laws failed to stop the massacres of at least 19 people in...
