Legislators in Kentucky said that a lack of trained personnel and inadequate funding are the two biggest problems in the state’s dysfunctional system. On Thursday, a group of Kentucky lawmakers demanded new management for the state’s dysfunctional juvenile justice agency, arguing that an outsider was needed to implement reforms and end violent incidents involving detained juveniles. The lawmakers also demanded third-party investigations into the juvenile prison system, with the freedom to interview agency workers as they saw fit. Republican state representative Jason Nemes remarked during a news conference that “the people of Kentucky have lost trust in the officials that…
Next week, when President Joe Biden gives his State of the Union speech, Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders (R-AR) will give the Republican response on behalf of the party.

A rising star in the opposition party is usually tasked with delivering the party’s answer to the State of the Union speech, to provide an alternative policy agenda for the country.

On Thursday, antisemitic Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Jew Hater) was not appointed to the House Foreign Affairs Committee, and Democratic Socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-Fascist) lost it on the House floor. The animosity that Omar has for Israel and Jews has been on full show during her whole term in Congress. It makes little sense to have someone as full of hate for Western Civilization in general as Omar on such a crucial committee because he or she hates America. AOC, another member of Omar’s “Squad,” had a histrionic performance after the party-line vote (218-211) to deny Omar the seat: Extract…

The Baylor Scott & White Health System has threatened legal action against Dr. Peter McCullough if he does not comply with the COVID immunization program. On Wednesday, the district judge who was hearing McCullough’s case dismissed it. Baylor Scott & White Health has filed a trademark infringement lawsuit against McCullough for his conduct in 2016. His detractors could conclude that he actively promotes misleading information regarding COVID. Dallas County Judicial District Court Associate Judge Tahira Khan Merritt threw out the case. McCullough should have added “my investigations and outcomes have been proper, consistent, and always my own, not those of…
Tennessean legislators have taken a major step toward criminalizing sex change treatments involving children. The bill to outlaw pediatric medical transition in Tennessee was approved by a Senate committee vote of 8-1 on Wednesday. The legislation will be presented to the Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday. Detransitioner Chloe Cole, now 18, was harmed by the double mastectomy she underwent when she was 15. She claimed, “The physicians were careless from the beginning.” They made me feel like an intelligent, capable adult who could weigh the pros and cons of my options and make decisions that would enhance my relationships, sexual…

According to McCarthy, he and Biden had a “nice first meeting,” during which they discussed their divergent views on increasing the debt ceiling. We said we’d keep talking, so let’s see if we can make that happen. When all is said and done, I believe we will be able to find some middle ground. McCarthy said, adding that he and Biden will keep talking about possible debt ceiling deals. “I told…
Should the current attempts in the Northeast be successful, abortions beyond the sixth week would be prohibited. On Wednesday, hundreds of Nebraskans demonstrated against a “heartbeat legislation” in front of a committee hearing in the state Capitol. The vast majority of pregnancies are found accidentally in the first trimester, but under this criterion, abortion would be illegal. After the sixth week of pregnancy, when a baby’s heartbeat can be detected, it would be unlawful to have an abortion. In her opening speech before the Health and Human Services Committee of the Washington State Legislature on Wednesday, Republican Senator Joni Albrecht…
After meeting with House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) this week, Indiana Republican Rep. Victoria Spartz announced Tuesday that she now supports removing Minnesota Democrat Rep. Ilhan Omar from the House Foreign Affairs Committee. Spartz’s about-face comes after McCarthy removed California Democrat Adam Schiff and fellow Democrat Eric Swalwell from the House Intelligence Committee due to security concerns. The movement to remove Omar from the Foreign Affairs Committee is a reaction to her anti-Semitic past statements and actions. Speaker McCarthy’s willingness to add due process language to our resolution was much appreciated, as Spartz noted in a statement released late Tuesday…

Delaware Democrat Joe Biden opposed Bush’s request to raise the nation’s borrowing limit in 2006 because he was concerned about the country’s fast borrowing. Democrats in the Senate voted against increasing the debt ceiling by a large margin on March 16, 2006, while Republicans voted to do so. Increasing the debt ceiling from $8.184 trillion to $8.965 trillion was a nonstarter for Senate Democrats like Joe Biden. In the Senate floor debate, Biden chastised then-President Bush for not doing more to balance the budget or reduce the debt. Bush’s five years in office had contributed more to the debt than…
