Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) was nearly elected to be the country’s next vice president. Lost in that is that his state has become the fraud capital of the United States. Minnesota’s Department of Health and Human Services is moving to scrap the “Housing Stabilization Services” program, which is funded by Medicaid and the state’s taxpayers, due to widespread […]

President Donald Trump has intensified U.S. military activity around Venezuela in recent months, from counter-narcotics operations to a broader campaign of coercive pressure against dictator Nicolás Maduro’s government. Since early September, U.S. forces have conducted strikes on roughly 20 alleged drug-smuggling vessels in the Caribbean and eastern Pacific. The USS Gerald R. Ford, the Navy’s most […]

Scott Jennings has a gift. Actually, he has many. But none is more apparent to the general public than the one he displays in his role as CNN‘s senior political commentator.

Janus promises to open the aperture, encouraging innovation, accelerating timelines, and inviting new players to demonstrate what’s possible. But with any new opportunity comes a […]

Michael Bloomberg built his fortune by selling access to data. Bloomberg L.P., his company, is in the business of centralizing troves of financial data and selling access to its analytics and trading platform via subscriptions that exceed $20,000 a year. It’s a monopoly so powerful that it has turned Bloomberg into a centi-billionaire. But apparently, cornering the global financial market wasn’t enough. Now the billionaire mogul is using this power grab to go after the […]

KAMALA’S EMOTION TOUR. Did you know that former Vice President Kamala Harris’s book tour is still going on? It seems like her book, 107 Days, came out years ago. (It was really in late September.) Today, as the world moves on, her events can seem like therapy sessions — and possible 2028 prep — with fawning moderators […]

A year after the reelection of President Donald Trump and his energy abundance agenda, Americans in New Jersey and Virginia went to the polls with energy prices on their minds. Unfortunately for these residents, the victories of Democrats Mikie Sherrill in New Jersey and Abigail Spanberger in Virginia mean that these concerns aren’t going away anytime […]
