\nA gun-carrying good guy in El Paso, Texas, USA.<\/p>\n
\nAt least three of the 20 dead in Saturday’s attack, described by Mexico’s foreign minister as an “act of barbarism,” are Mexican nationals.<\/p>\n
\nIt is vitally important to supply facts so that policymakers and professionals can fashion solutions based on objective data rather than misguided emotional fixes.<\/p>\n<\/a>Hide the Decline<\/h1>\n

\nThe liberal Green New Deal pushed by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and others would cost homeowners an average additional $70,000 in the first year, and over $100,000 for those living in Alaska, according to a new analysis.<\/p>\n
\nThe day may come when we run out of stories about the municipal government in Berkeley, California doing hilariously inane things, but today is not that day. Their latest \u201cgreen\u201d initiative to save the planet involves a ban on natural gas lines or appliances using natural gas in any new construction starting next year. Instead, everyone will need to employ electrical appliances.<\/p>\n<\/a>Obamacare<\/h1>\n
Government in Healthcare<\/h2>\n
\nPrivate health insurance plays a large role in the current Medicare program. “Medi-gap” policies cover all or most of the medical bills not paid for by Medicare today. In fact, Part D has come in under its anticipated costs precisely because the drug benefit features robust competition among private insurance companies.<\/p>\n<\/a>War & Terror<\/h1>\n
\nThe White House is monitoring the sudden gathering of Chinese forces at the border with Hong Kong, in a worrying sign of escalation.<\/p>\n
\nAs expected, the United States officially announced its withdrawal from the Cold War\u2013era INF treaty. President Trump announced his intention to exit the treaty last October because of alleged continued violations of the treaty by the Russian Federation. With the withdrawal now official, it’s time to develop a new agreement that will protect U.S. interests, include countries such as China, and potentially reshape Eastern European tactical defenses.<\/p>\n
\nThe Brahmaputra River starts in China and runs through India and Bangladesh and there are serious concerns for regional stability in conflicts over the water of the Brahmaputra River. China and India are actively constructing dams and considering water diversion plans. Bangladesh faces human security pressures that will be magnified by upstream river practices.<\/p>\n<\/a>National<\/h1>\n
\nA new model curriculum for “ethnic studies” is a handbook for classroom propagandizing.<\/p>\n
\nReformers “rewriting the stories and the language” for LGBT patients<\/p>\n
\nU.S. Senator Josh Hawley has a vendetta against social media companies and Big Tech. The Missouri Republican’s multi-pronged attack on technology is far from surprising since he’s painting himself as some sort of modern-day Tipper Gore looking to save us from ourselves. An arbiter of justice, so to speak.<\/p>\n
\nI fear the only fair solution is to pay our garbage national men’s team more.<\/p>\n
\nThe state of Oregon recently enacted a law which will grant public school students up to five mental health days per three-month period beginning this coming school year.<\/p>\n
\nThere were two distinct audiences for the Democratic primary debate on Tuesday: people who tuned in to see a long row of aspiring presidents snipe at one another over policy differences and those who wanted to watch the orb queen Marianne Williamson resonate frequencies of love into the universe.<\/p>\n
\nA fake quote attributed to Republican Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan went viral on Twitter after fooling prominent liberals.<\/p>\n
\nBlink twice to get a closer look.<\/p>\n
\nCarol Evans approves of Donald Trump’s immigration policy. She gives him credit for the strong economy. But the Republican from the affluent Milwaukee suburbs of Waukesha County, a GOP bedrock in the state, just can’t commit to voting for the president next year like she did in 2016.<\/p>\n
\nThe former Maryland congressman criticized the progressive wing of the Democratic Party for embracing such expansive government involvement.<\/p>\n
\nNothing much happening here, just the most famous progressive in the country (under the age of 77) who’s also a sitting congresswoman casually condoning riots as a response to certain injustices.<\/p>\n
\nThe “occult task force” isn’t endorsed by the campaign (“I am very, very concerned about the word occultist,” said her spokesman when WaPo asked about it) but it is – sort of – real. I say “sort of” because the phenomenon this story describes is familiar. Right now the Marianne fan threads on sites like Reddit are mostly jokey in tone, inspired by a kooky yet charismatic outsider celebrity candidate with ostentatious contempt for the dreary received wisdom typified by the other candidates.<\/p>\n
\n“Jane Doe asked campus security if she could face discipline”<\/p>\n
\nIf you think that it is outrageous that Democratic presidential candidates want to eliminate the southern border and that Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez calls our detention facilities there “concentration camps,” then you haven’t been reading and believing Howard Zinn’s best-selling A People’s History of the United States.<\/p>\n
\nThe Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) saw a mass departure of senior staff late Monday amid outcry over the lack of diversity within the committee’s top ranks under Chairwoman Cheri Bustos (D-Ill.). <\/p>\n
\nThe tepid centrists may not be inspiring, but they signify a problem for the likes of Sanders and Warren<\/p>\n
\nThe School at Marygrove, the product of a partnership between the University of Michigan and the Detroit Public Schools Community District, will open this fall.<\/p>\n
\nWest Mifflin Police say the woman accused in a bizarre and disgusting act at the borough’s Walmart has turned herself in.<\/p>\n
\n“Today we make a choice. Freedom or Socialism. I choose freedom”<\/p>\n
\nDemocrats and organized labor aim to make Eugene Scalia, the pick to lead the Labor Department, a target in 2020 in hopes of testing President Trump’s support among rank-and-file union voters.<\/p>\n
\nResearchers at The Pentagon just finished a new round of testing on a weapon that makes lasers talk.<\/p>\n
\nThe Wall Street Journal has a story today about a former Google engineer named Kevin Cernekee. Cernekee, who hasn’t told his story publicly before, claims that he was fired last year after battling they company for years over his conservative views.<\/p>\n
\nThree other candidates are right on the edge.<\/p>\n
\nSure, to most normal Americans Democratic presidential candidate Marianne Williamson sounds like some hippy dippy weirdo. That’s the joke. But then again, we have our chakras out of alignment, because there are some very serious witches out there who believe there is some spiritual power behind Williamson’s debate night talk of “dark psychic forces.”<\/p>\n
\n“President Nelson Muntz,” Liam Donovan calls him.<\/p>\n
\nRoutine website redesign obscures Democrat’s record on criminal justice<\/p>\n
\nHis lawyer is known for representing accused male students in Title IX proceedings<\/p>\n
