A limited ban on stock trading by Congress might get a vote next year after a 2012 law did not do enough to stem the practice that critics say is legal insider trading.The Center Square has been investigating the trades of lawmakers on key committees, finding trades that raise questions about the actions and timing. Since 2022, members of Congress have introduced measures to ban lawmakers from trading stocks altogether. Both last year and this July, the Senate Homeland and Governmental Affairs Committee advanced a stock-ban bill. Neither chamber has scheduled a vote on legislation despite overwhelming public support for…

Debate over gun control often assumes that removing firearms removes violence. But Europe’s experience suggests something more complicated: policy may change the weapon, but it does not eliminate the impulse toward violence.Only about 20% of the homicides in the European Union are tied to gun violence most years, according to Eurostat data, compared to around 75% in the U.S. Though figures vary from year to year, in 2023 (the latest year that has comprehensive data), about half of the nearly 4,000 homicides in the 27 European Union member states took place from sharp objects like knives or broken bottles and…
The animated movie David – celebrating one of Judaism’s greatest heroes – had a blockbuster debut even as both sides of the political aisle deal with a growing scourge of antisemitism.“There’s such a horrible spirit against Israel,” Brian Stivale, the voice actor for the prophet Samuel in the Angel Studios movie, tells Just the News. “There’s such an antisemitic spirit rising up, especially right now. It’s almost as bad as, you know, pre-Nazi Germany.” To be sure, antisemitism appears to be on the rise across the political spectrum in the U.S. – acutely after the Hamas-led October 2023 terror attack…
President Donald Trump on Wednesday night wished Americans a “merry Christmas,” and included a special message for Democrats, who he claimed were “failing” in their effort “to destroy our Country.”The president is spending the Christmas and New Year’s holidays at his Mar-a-Lago resort in West Palm Beach, Florida. Earlier Wednesday, he made phone calls to U.S. service members, and participated in the annual NORAD Santa Claus calls. “Merry Christmas to all, including the Radical Left Scum that is doing everything possible to destroy our Country, but are failing badly,” Trump posted on Truth Social. “We no longer have Open Borders,…
We have shared this amazing video in the past and it was rather popular so we wanted to share it again this year. Christmas flash mobs have become popular, but this one was done back in 2010 when few people had ever even heard of the practice. It happened at a Macy’s department store in Philadelphia. A number of different singing groups from the area posed as shoppers and at an appointed time, they all simultaneously began singing the ‘Hallelujah Chorus’ from Handel’s Messiah. All of the other shoppers in the store stopped what they were doing to listen, and…

During the LA wildfires, I noted that the LAFD was being run by three lesbians named Kirsten. (Not a joke.) Crowley’s status as the first LGBTQ fire chief appears at the top of her bio on the LAFD site. It’s what got her on the Kelly Clarkson show under the headline, “Meet LAFD’s First Female & LGBTQ+ Fire Chief”. Kristina Kepner, the first lesbian Assistant Chief and a graduate of the Harvard Kennedy School for Managing Diverse Organizations, was accused of a domestic violence incident involving her girlfriend.

Screencap of Twitter/X video. Kamala Harris recently appeared on the ‘Rich Little Broke Girls’ podcast and at one point was handing out dating advice for young women when she launched into her trademark crazy cackle. Her dating advice is about as coherent as any of her word salads on any other topic and her laugh is as goofy as ever. She apparently also thinks that making fun of her laugh is sexist because of course she does. Townhall has details: “I don’t aspire to be humble. Humility, yes, is very important,” Harris said when asked about the criticism that she…

Gavin Newsom on Meet The Press Gavin Newsom has been vowing to end homelessness in California for years. It all began way back when he was the mayor of San Francisco. Now he is the governor of California and he is still doing it. The only thing that has changed in California over the years is the number of homeless people, which just keeps going up. And of course, the only reason he is doing this now is because he is planning to run for president in 2028, not because he actually cares about the people of California. NEW: We’re…
Asked to cite the most significant event in history for an oral exam, the late great Justice Scalia thought it was a softball question and picked an event he considered important. “Wrong!” His inquisitor corrected him: “No, Mr. Scalia; it was the Incarnation.” This seminal event on the Christian calendar is celebrated by the faithful and unfaithful alike. Some merely acknowledge it in their actions and time off, while others take the religious significance to heart and fully participate in the seasonal countdown of Advent.And while the secular celebration with all its associated trappings now largely undermines the religious significance,…
In Saudi Arabia, women have to get approval from a male guardian to get a job or leave the country. In Israel, women can run the country. In Saudi Arabia, women have to wear a burka (called an ‘abaya’) while in Israel, they can wear what they want. But CNN decided to run a story claiming that it’s better to be a woman in Saudi Arabia than in Israel. While that contention would explain CNN, the media and the entire liberal establishment’s backing for mass Muslim migration, the ‘news network’ decided to run a story claiming that under Netanyahu, women…

A Dallas house that has drawn attention for its past decorations has done it again — defying critics with a Grinch-themed display.

Differences between federal law, immigration status, and state programs in health coverage The debate over health coverage for immigrants in the United States has become one of the most manipulated topics in political discourse. Limited humanitarian exceptions—established by law for decades—are often confused with ideological expansions promoted by some states that go far beyond the federal framework. To understand the issue rigorously, it is essential to distinguish between what federal law allows, what it expressly prohibits, which benefits depend on immigration status, and which programs have been created unilaterally by state governments using their own funds. The federal legal framework:…

New York Attorney General Letitia James announced Tuesday that she’s leading a coalition of 19 states in filing a lawsuit that aims to stop the Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. from blocking surgeries, puberty blockers, and hormone treatments for minors. “At the core of this so-called declaration are real people: young people who need care, parents trying to support their children, and doctors who are simply following the best medical evidence available,” James said in a statement.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky indicated Tuesday that he would be willing to pull his troops from a strip of land in the Donetsk region of Ukraine, if Russia pulled its troops from a similar-sized area and made it a demilitarized “free economic zone.” The agreement to withdraw forces on both sides from the region, which still needs approval from Russia, would be a significant victory for President Donald Trump, whose administration drafted a 28-point plan for peace in Europe last month. This new potential agreement would be part of an updated 20-point plan. Zelensky told reporters that he does not support…
