Hillary Clinton warned that the Supreme Court’s Republican majority is “turning the clock back” with some of its recent decisions, including the “nonsensical” ruling earlier this week that gives the president the authority to fire members of independent federal agencies. The former secretary of state pointed to the “mental gymnastics” that the high court performed when it backed President Donald Trump in his case against Rebecca Slaughter, a Democratic member of the Federal Trade Commission, whom he fired without cause. The ruling on Monday overturned a 1935 precedent that had protected agency independence. “I mean, it is a nonsensical —...

Rhode Island has become the first state to take on big ... self-checkout? Legislation passed and signed in the Ocean State limits the number of self-checkout lanes a store is allowed to have, and it's based on the ratio of normal checkout lanes with cashiers. The goal is to protect jobs. Here's WPRI: 'Today, we're protecting jobs and strengthening customer service,' [Rhode Island Governor Dan] McKee said. 'Whether it's helping a customer with an issue, assisting a senior, or ensuring accessibility for people with disabilities, this law is about preserving choice and keeping people at the center of the shopping...

Check out the utter state of policing in the UK. The guys surrounded. The mob circling him are clearly the aggressors. Right. So, he's being closelined to the floor, punched in the face. Guess who the female cop decides to tackle? Oh, you just knew it was coming, didn't you? The people who attacked him get away. Then this happens. I mean, fair enough. That was pretty dumb. Some people in the comments claimed he was just reacting and didn't even know it was a copper. I don't know about that, but if she hadn't charged into the wrong guy,...

“Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people.” That Bible verse, found in Proverbs 14:34, is not a political slogan. It is a moral law of history. Nations rise when justice, truth, humility, courage, and reverence for God shape their public life. They decline when sin becomes normalized, truth is considered subjective, and liberty is severed from biblical virtue. The founders of America understood this better than we realize. After the Revolutionary War, George Washington wrote to the governors of the thirteen states and prayed that God would dispose Americans “to do justice, to love mercy,”...

That would add more delays to the country’s elections, sources told the paper. Machado made the $35,000 trip last week...

July Fourth, 2026 marks America’s 250th anniversary. Americans will be out and about at parades, fireworks displays, and other patriotic observances. President Trump will be at Mt. Rushmore, where fireworks, long prohibited, are making a comeback. Barbecue grills will blaze, we’ll eat too much, and love every minute of it, thankful for being born American and thereby winning life’s lottery in a nation of equal opportunity, where even an African American can become a trillionaire. Sadly, so many who bristle at being American will hold their own anti-American events. Some will commit acts of vandalism and violence, acts of mindless...

The Democratic Socialists are right: This is no time for half measures. If the United States is to thrive for another 250 years, we must commit ourselves to a profoundly radical vision of the future. Our present divisions, strains, and discontents are so severe, they demand nothing less than a revolutionary response – one that reimagines our relationship to each other and our government. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.Though proclaimed...

A federal appeals court just upheld a New York state ban on gas stoves, which is very strange, considering the fact that Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York insisted that the ban on gas stoves wasn’t even happening. This has all been unfolding quietly in the background for about two years now. Groups which are part of the gas industry challenged the ban but a federal court just sided with the state.
