A huge block of Americans (about another third) voted intermittently, which means that elections can often be determined by the intermittent voters when they decide to show up. In my efforts to convince all the part-timer voters out there to level up, I dealt with the common argument that "my single vote doesn't matter."

Pew Research recently published a report of U.S. voter turnout, observing that the last three national elections ('18, '20, and '22) displayed some of the highest turnout of the century.

Many years ago, a disguised Mafia “hitman” was interviewed on national TV. He was asked a variety of questions but the one that stood out in my mind was how he dealt with his conscience. His laconic response was, “What’s a conscience?”

If you can bear it, mentally jump back a few years to the time when Covid hysteria reigned supreme. Recall the slogan we constantly heard—"Mask up and stay safe, everyone!" I may have been the only one, but I did find this word choice a little odd. Isn't "stay healthy" the appropriate thing to say during the onset of a disease?

hicago has found a convenient time to finally do something about a homeless encampment—one that city leadership has already allowed to exist for years. For several years, a narrow strip of land nestled next to the Dan Ryan Expressway and Roosevelt road has been home to a veritable "tent city," one which has boasted up to 20–30 residents at times. However, a couple months before the Democratic National Convention is set to commence in Chicago, the city decided to permanently shut down this settlement.

The SHIELD Act (S.412) passed in the U.S. Senate in July. This bill would address image-based sexual abuse by establishing new laws to knowingly distribute sexually explicit content of an individual without their consent. It will also outlaw the distribution of pornographic images of minors that are intended to humiliate, harass, or degrade the minor. But, if S.412 passes the U.S. House and is signed into law, will it be enforced?

Oxford languages: “Deep State: a body of people, typically influential members of government agencies or the military, believed to be involved in the secret manipulation or control of government policy.”

Bad ideas can often get accepted long after they were initially rejected. One generation recoils at a proposal. The next generation might cozy up to it. And the one after that might accept it.

The Secret Service has acknowledged their July 13th failure to protect former President Trump, and they are reportedly working to improve security protocols. The agency has increased the security detail for Trump and other high-profile political figures, and has been conducting a thorough review of its security practices to prevent similar incidents in the future.

Last Thursday, the United States House of Representatives passed the Title IX Congressional Review Act, which would legally block President Biden’s changes to Title IX, restoring privacy to women’s and girl’s private spaces.

Because people do not immediately suffer the just consequences of their evil actions, most will continue in their wickedness! All claims that people are fundamentally good are proven false by this reality.

The good folks at Citizens for Kids Education (C4KE) asked us to send you this information about a recent ruling regarding the Biden Title IX rewrite, and share their CALL TO ACTION.

Despite the seemingly mundane nature of regulations, the U.S. Supreme Court’s recent decision to overturn Chevron Deference is poised to have a profound impact on our daily lives. This decision will touch each and every one of us, shaping our daily experiences and interactions.

I heard of a man who was tired of having gasoline stolen from his garage, so he poured sugar into his gas can and waited. Sure enough, a few days later he heard there was a young man from the neighborhood  looking for a new engine. Gasoline engines are not designed to burn sugar!

Would you agree with this statement: “Patriotism is a hot button issue in schools.” My personal reaction is, “You’re kidding!!” Well, maybe in the late 1700s.
