The very day last month that the District of Columbia was arguing in a federal appeals court against President Trump's deployment of the National Guard to help protect the city, David Michael captured a daylight shooting on his patio cam at his LeDroit Park home.
The Trump administration says it has returned more than $12 billion, or almost 99%, of the revenue obtained from the sales of Venezuelan oil since it ousted then-President Nicolas Maduro in January.
California school districts are losing the bond votes they rely on for school repairs. But why do they have to rely on voter-approved bonds when California already spends an obscene amount of money on education (and everything else)? Around three dozen school districts are on pace to lose bond votes at the ballot box, despite […]
Racism is an evil force still plaguing the United States, particularly racism by white Make America Great Again supporters. Moreover, it is white people’s racism preventing the country from being an anti-racist society that provides liberty and freedom to all.

By 2024, he stood as the vice presidential nominee. Ideological recognition, not mere political conversion, clearly drives this rapid arc. Vance has […]
Negotiating teams from Russia, Ukraine, and the United States concluded two days of talks in the United Arab Emirates on Wednesday with an agreement on prisoner exchanges and a pledge to meet again. But that’s it. The next meeting is unlikely to produce more. Why? Simple. Russia’s war aims in Ukraine remain unchanged. The Kremlin […]
House Republicans have chosen Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) as their leader when they become the minority pitted against a massive Democratic majority in the next Congress. By a vote of 106-73 Tuesday, they picked the chairman of the judiciary committee over current Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA). Scalise is the more polished and accomplished legislator, […]
