Free Republic

After California Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom defended his leadership of the nation's most populous state to the hilt last week in a debate against Florida Republican GOP Gov. Ron DeSantis, new data projects a massive budget shortfall. In a report published Thursday, California's nonpartisan Legislative Analyst's Office said, "Largely as a result of a severe revenue decline in 2022‑23, the state faces a serious budget deficit.

Fired Miami Dolphins coach says blah, blah, blah, “that’s racist” and sues the NFL to make sure their chickens come home to roost.

Terrorism is home to roost for Saudis (Filed: 18/07/2003) A security build-up shows that the ruling House of Saud has a growing fear of terrorism, writes Patrick Bishop in Jeddah It is midnight, but outside the interior ministry the building work has not slackened. Scores of Asian labourers are pouring concrete and hoisting stone slabs in the sultry heat. The ministry in Jeddah already has one wall, a high one, dotted with surveillance equipment.
