Please call him and urge him to vote yes on impeaching Mayorkas. Tom, who normally votes very conservative, voted against impeachment last week because he did not feel there was sufficient evidence to warrant impeachment. "Secretary Mayorkas is guilty of maladministration of our immigration laws on a cosmic scale. But we KNOW that’s not grounds for impeachment, because the American Founders specifically rejected it. They didn’t want political disputes to become impeachments, because that would shatter the separation of powers that vests the enforcement of the laws with the President – no matter how bad a job he does. Cabinet...

LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — Changing signs at Harry Reid International Airport is proving more expensive than planned, and the total price tag is now up to $7.68 million, documents show. On Tuesday, Clark County commissioners approved $4.77 million to fund the most expensive part of the project. “Marquee – Landmark Signs” on Tropicana Avenue had an original budget of $1.95 million and now are estimated to cost an estimated $2.82 million more than planned.

Iowa Republicans were a clear reflection of that on Monday night, delivering the former president an emphatic victory. They channeled his anger, and his view that basically everything President Joe Biden has done has been a “disaster.” He’s convinced many Republicans he didn’t really lose the 2020 election to Biden, repeatedly making false claims, and has dominated the race the way someone still in office does. With its more moderate, educated electorate, New Hampshire presents Trump’s rivals with possibly their best opportunity to slow his march. Indeed, about two-thirds of caucusgoers said they felt their finances were holding steady or...

The Federal Aviation Administration is actively recruiting workers who suffer "severe intellectual" disabilities, psychiatric problems and other mental and physical conditions under a diversity and inclusion hiring initiative spelled out on the agency’s website. "Targeted disabilities are those disabilities that the Federal government, as a matter of policy, has identified for special emphasis in recruitment and hiring," the FAA’s website states. "They include hearing, vision, missing extremities, partial paralysis, complete paralysis, epilepsy, severe intellectual disability, psychiatric disability and dwarfism." The initiative is part of the FAA’s "Diversity and Inclusion" hiring plan, which claims "diversity is integral to achieving FAA's mission...

The latest target is Harvard President Claudine Gay, who resigned Tuesday. In her case, the outrage came not from her academic peers but her political foes, led by conservatives who put her career under intense scrutin y. Conservatives zeroed in on Gay amid backlash over her congressional testimony about antisemitism on campus. Her detractors charged that Gay — who has a Ph.D. in government, was a professor at Harvard and Stanford and headed Harvard's largest division before being promoted — got the top job in large part because she is a Black woman.

The Associated Press’s latest foreign donor wants to transform journalists into "community activists on climate change." The AP doesn’t seem interested in publicizing that. It’s the latest left-wing charity to fund the Associated Press, which says it is read by four billion people each day. Philanthropies that support packing the Supreme Court, defunding the police, and other left-wing initiatives have contributed millions of dollars to the AP in recent years, the Free Beacon reported. While the AP says it maintains editorial independence from its deep-pocketed donors, its climate reporting reflects many of the KR Foundation’s core beliefs. A recent AP...

GOP turncoat Don Bacon (R-Nebraska) made waves last week by not only going against his party’s consensus but also labeling fellow Republican Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) a “loser” after Republicans voted against him in a secret ballot away from their voting base. Jordan, the most popular Republican lawmaker in Congress, was taken out by the RINO lawmakers who make up the majority of the GOP Caucus. Last Monday, a lobbying firm known to have ties with Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell organized a phone call with Don Bacon. An email sent out before the call clarified the agenda by stating,...

Just listened at hour news break on Dan Bongino Show.

The following conversation never happened. It is for the reader to decide to what extent, however, this conversation reflects political reality in California today. Candidate: It’s a surprise that you contacted me. I never thought I would run for office, I don’t know how to run a campaign, and I’m not well informed on any of the things I might have to manage if I get elected. Government Union Operative: That doesn’t matter. We have profiled you and determined you will be a viable candidate and develop into a politician we can count on. Candidate: But I don’t even know...

The Fox News Decision Desk can now project that Republican Senator Ron Johnson will defeat Democratic Lieutenant Governor Mandela Barnes. Johnson has represented Wisconsin since 2011. With this win, he will serve a third term.

So, Elon Musk isn’t your ideal corporate leader, and you want to delete Twitter? You’re not alone. Since the Tesla CEO completed his $44 billion acquisition of the social media site in late October, Twitter may have lost more than one million users, according to estimates from Bot Sentinel, a company that tracks behavior on Twitter. If you’re concerned about hate speech and disinformation, or you’re just not excited about the potential of shelling out cash to secure your blue checkmark, simply avoid the platform altogether. We’ve got you covered for both how to delete your Twitter account and where...

Susan Daggett, an attorney and wife of Colorado Democratic Sen. Michael Bennet, said in a video obtained by Just the News that there is a way to "quietly" defund police by reallocating funds and she hopes President Biden doesn't run for reelection in 2024. Daggett also addressed the "defund the police" movement, saying the term "defund the police" really means "reallocating" funds for mental health and social services as well as overall police reform. "Michael would say calling it 'defund the police' is not the smartest move at the outset," she said. Whether police reform can happen depends on the...

Watch out Nevada Republicans. I got a flyer in the mail today from EDF Action Votes advising me to vote for the independant, Barry Lindemann instead of Adam Laxalt. I looked up EDF Action Votes. "EDF Action Votes promotes the goals of the Environmental Defense Action Fund." . I noticed, too, they are pushing making it easier to cheat in our elections. ALSO make sure to vote NO on Proposition 3. That measure would establish Ranked Choice Voting in Nevada.

Threats to U.S. democracy highlighted by the House Jan. 6 select committee’s blockbuster hearings are fizzling as a midterm election issue, drowned out by inflation and other economic concerns that appear to be driving voters in the final weeks of the campaign. While the committee examining the 2021 Capitol attack has made a convincing case that the American experiment is a fragile one — and is sounding dire warnings that the foundational threat remains very much alive — the message is being overshadowed by more immediate economic anxieties, according to a series of recent national polls. Snip The Jan. 6...

— From homeless to homeowner: that's the story of one single mother living in Stockton. After more than four years of living on the streets, Amber Golisano and her son finally have a place to call home. Advertisement "I did a lot of couch surfing. We stayed in a few abandoned buildings, a lot of really nasty hotels or motels more like it," said Golisano explaining what life was like leading up to this moment. She says she felt like she had hit rock bottom after her toxic relationship came to an end. “He used all my money. He broke...

On Friday, Breitbart, the far-right news site, was neck-and-neck with the Wall Street Journal on a huge scoop when they released details about the search warrant that was issued for Mar-a-Lago — former President Donald Trump's Florida estate — earlier this week. But Breitbart completely butchered their scoop. Rather than focusing on the specific details of the warrant, or the itemized list of property that federal agents seized from Trump's home on suspicion of potentially serious crimes (the outlet obtained both documents and only later published them in full), author Matthew Boyle initially chose to write about when the warrant...

Grassroots non-profit Reclaim Idaho delivered around 100,000 signatures to the Idaho Secretary of State's office to get their Quality Education Act on the November ballot. Individual counties have already verified these signatures, according to Reclaim Idaho Co-Founder Luke Mayville. The Secretary of State's office will review, and confirm, the petition before the Quality Education Act official makes the ballot. The Quality Education Act aims to collect $323,526,400 annually for Idaho public schools. The initiative would create a new tax bracket for any person earning more than 250-thousand dollars a year, or a married couple earning more than half-a-million dollars. Each...

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — A man died after he was struck by a vehicle while police believe he was attempting to steal a catalytic converter in Sacramento, authorities said Tuesday. Officers responded to the 8100 block of Timberlake Drive just before 4:45 a.m. Monday for reports of a collision involving a pedestrian, Sacramento police said. The pedestrian had serious injuries from the crash and he was later pronounced dead at the hospital, police said. Investigators said they think the man was tampering with the vehicle and trying to steal a catalytic converter before the crash. Police said the driver of the...

The hand count of paper ballots done by the Maricopa County Forensic Auditors reveals President Joe Biden actually won by a wider margin against Donald Trump than the results from the official Maricopa County canvass. The Cyber Ninjas compared Maricopa County voter files to commercial databases used by marketing companies. The purpose was to find perceived inaccuracies in the voter registration information. For example, did mail-in ballots come from a prior address or did someone vote in multiple counties? Auditors believe nearly 34,000 ballots could fall into either of these categories. Nowhere does the audit suggest those votes went to...

It has been an excruciatingly agonizing wait for the families of the victims of the building collapse in Miami-Dade County’s town of Surfside. On Saturday, Gov. Ron DeSantis went to meet them at the Grand Beach Hotel Surfside. Crews have been working overnight, through the rain, and even at the risk of spontaneous fires. Officials said they are doing their best to provide regular updates at the hotel. Still, some relatives are losing their patience. “It’s not enough,” a distraught mother told DeSantis. “Imagine if your children were in there. You are going to leave here and you are going...
