A woman twice showed up uninvited at Kamala Harris and Doug Emhoff's $8 million Malibu home, prompting security to call the sheriff late Friday evening.
Both choices in Chicago’s April 4 mayoral runoff election are Democrats, but “party affiliation is about the only thing the candidates have in common.”
President Tsai Ing-wen of Taiwan will visit the East and West coasts of the United States next week, with a meeting between House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) and Tsai likely.
First-year Sen. Katie Britt (R-AL) embarrassed Attorney General Merrick Garland and exposed intentional dereliction of duty by Justice Department officials telling federal marshals not to arrest people illegally demonstrating at the homes of Supreme Court justices.
For years, liberals, Democrats, and other leftists have called for more laws to deal with the country's gun violence problems. They have claimed that stricter laws would lead to fewer deaths in horrible tragedies such as school shootings. On the flip side, conservatives, Republicans, and others on the Right have pointed out that it's not the gun that kills people — it is the shooter. They also argued that plenty of existing laws are going unenforced, such that violators are left free to commit further crimes with guns, which are often acquired illegally anyway.
Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) applauded the Senate's efforts to pass legislation that ended the 1991 and 2002 Authorizations for Use of Military Force. It officially repeals the congressional authorizations for the 1991 Persian Gulf War and the 2003 Iraq War and is a step in restoring the authority of Article I Section 8 of the Constitution, which gives Congress the power to initiate military conflict. It passed with a vote of 66-30.
WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THE (MAYBE) TRUMP INDICTMENT? It looks like there has been another delay, possibly a long one, in the local New York prosecutor's drive to indict former President Donald Trump. After great expectations 11 days ago — Trump's statement on Saturday, March 18, that he expected to be arrested the following Tuesday — the grand jury convened by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has heard additional witnesses in the Trump matter and has also moved on to other, unrelated cases without taking action on Trump. Now, there are reports the grand jury will not consider Trump for the rest of this week — and possibly most of next month.
A record-high number of immigrants died trying to cross our southwest border last year, and another 40 died this week in a Mexican detention center in Ciudad Juarez, just across the border from El Paso, Texas.
Just hours after a transgender person murdered six people in a school shooting at a Christian school, the press secretary for the Democratic governor of Arizona promoted gun violence against “transphobes.” The response from establishment media has been nothing more than a collective shrug.
On March 14, a Russian fighter jet crashed into a U.S. Reaper MQ-9 drone operating over the Black Sea, destroying it. That drone cost American taxpayers roughly $18 million to $32 million and was deployed in international airspace to monitor Russian forces occupying Ukraine. Russia had no legitimate excuse for downing the drone and offered no apology for doing so. On the contrary, Moscow awarded medals to the pilots involved. Unfortunately, President Joe Biden has responded with unequivocal weakness to this aggression.
Twitter banned several conservative accounts for noting that a group of transgender activists was planning a day of violence after a transgender person shot and killed six people at a Christian school. In other words, Twitter is acting the same as it always has.
Turkey's acquisition of the Russian-manufactured S-400 missile air defense system in 2019 (in place of United States or NATO-manufactured equivalents) resulted, not only in Turkey being booted out of the F-35 program but also in the imposition of U.S. sanctions.
