How can you expect a criminal who has committed many violent felonies with a firearm, carjacked, kidnapped, robbed to suddenly wise up & follow the rules? That “compassion” has only led to innocents being needlessly harmed & now murdered. He should have been in prison from the start.

In a society of laws designed to protect us, the politicians in charge of enforcing those laws have let us down. Like so many, this poor girl was an innocent victim not just of the killer, but the system that allowed him to kill at will. No one wants to take responsibility and that’s shameful.

Exactly. This romance with Democratic Socialists is a losing strategy. “As new analysis from the New York Times makes clear, if Democrats want any shot at winning the White House in 2028 or beyond, they must follow the moderates in the political middle”.

This is what happens when the vocal political minority in both parties drive out reason & moderation. Political wins depend on moderation…not mania. As a lifetime Democrat & campaigner, our chances of winning over the silent majority becomes more difficult as we yield to DSA.

This attack is terrible. These kids and their parents must be held accountable for this brutal behavior. Without consequences, it will only get worse.

Medicaid is the backbone of both the American safety net and the American economy. Slashing it by hundreds of billions of dollars is no routine policy disagreement—it’s an existential threat to the lives and livelihoods of millions. Urban counties and rural communities alike will all bear the cost.

The “Big Beautiful Bill” is an enemy of energy abundance and affordability.  It would make energy scarce and unaffordable for American households and businesses—especially the AI industry.  

Rolling back the clean energy tax credits is projected to cost the US $336 billion in less investment; 237 GW in less clean energy capacity (enough to power 35.7 million homes); and 97,000 jobs—all by 2040.  Self-inflicted scarcity at its worst.
