New York City Police Commissioner Keechant Sewell has become powerless in making decisions in her department without approval from Mayor Eric Adams' administration, which has "tied her up," after she approved disciplining Chief of Department Jeffrey Maddrey, the NYPD's highest-ranking uniformed officer, according to sources. Historically, commissioners have been able to promote detectives to higher grades or transfer police officers into detective service, but such matters are now up to Adams' discretion, the sources, who were not named, told the New York Post.

Just like the GAO [Government Accountability Office] and DoD IG [Department of Defense Inspector General] report Gen Dickinson confirmed Huntsville is the preferred location of Space Command headquarters. Enough is enough, it's time to bring @US_SpaceCom home to Huntsville." ...

In contravention of both federal law and its own Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) rule, the Biden administration is shutting off healthcare funding to states that have restricted abortion referrals. “President Joe Biden’s administration at the end of March cut off Tennessee’s Title X [family-planning] funds after determining the state health department — which oversees its clinics and was awarded $7.1 million last year — violated federal rules by not counseling patients about abortion,” reported KFF Health News. “‘Continued funding is not in the best interest of the government,’ two Department of Health and Human Services officials ...

The White House doctor for former President Barack Obama and Donald Trump has long questioned President Joe Biden's ability to hold up at his advanced age, but this week's fall shows the people that love him need to step in to stop the "shame." "To think that this man thinks he can be president at the age of 86 when he's 80 right now, could be in office for another six years, is just malpractice on part of the White House in the West Wing to allow this to be happening, for him to even be talking about running for another term," Rep. Ronny Jackson, R-Texas, told Fox News' "Hannity" on Friday night. "Somebody needs to be held accountable. ...

Sen. Mike Lee, who voted against passing the House bill suspending the debt ceiling until 2025, said Sunday he is "still not persuaded" that the bill will do what it says it will do to control deficit spending. "The process has failed time and time again," the Utah Republican said on Fox News's "Sunday Morning Futures." "Democrats and Republicans alike have refused to engage in actual compromise and instead decided to fund everything or as much of everything as they possibly can without economizing.

More Democrats than Republicans in the House and Senate voted to pass legislation to suspend the national debt ceiling last week because it "cemented in" the progressives' liberal program" and will allow their agenda to continue, Rep. Andy Biggs told Newsmax on Sunday.

Spurred by Uvalde, Texas Legislature Passes Bill To Finally Close 'Dead Suspect Loophole'

Following outrage over the lack of transparency surrounding the mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas, last year, the Texas legislature passed a bill Monday to close a notorious loophole in the state's public record law that allows police to hide records of deaths in custody. The bill, H.B. 30, now goes to Republican Texas Gov. Gregg Abbott's desk. It would clarify that an exception that allows police to withhold records in cases where the suspect of an investigation was never convicted of a crime does not apply to deceased individuals. Texas enacted the statute in 1997 to protect the privacy of innocent suspects. Still, police departments quickly figured out they could also use it to ...

Even Pennsylvanians Can Now Buy Wine in Grocery Stores, but New Yorkers Still Can't

When I lived in New York City a couple of decades ago, you could buy beer in grocery stores but not wine. Although that remains true, a bill introduced by state Sen. Liz Krueger (D–Manhattan) would finally allow New Yorkers to buy wine in stores that also sell food—an option that shoppers in most states (including Texas, where I live) already take for granted. As usual, the opposition to alcohol liberalization in New York is led by independent liquor merchants, who see competition as an existential threat. The chief backer of Krueger's bill is Wegmans, the Rochester- based grocery chain that also played a central role in making beer more accessible in my home state of ...

After over three years, federal student loan borrowers will likely have to start repaying their debt. According to the terms of a debt ceiling deal struck by House Speaker Kevin McCarthy and President Biden, the extended pause on student loan repayment will end on August 30th. While a previous announcement from the Education Department had vowed to end the pause on August 29—provided the Supreme Court had not yet released a decision on Biden's student loan forgiveness plan—the debt ceiling deal solidifies this promise. If the bill passes, the Education Department will be statutorily barred from announcing yet another last-minute extension— as officials have done on eight ...

Georgia's Supreme Court today struck down a state law that required people who provide lactation consulting to obtain costly and time-consuming state licenses. In a unanimous ruling, the justices determined that a law passed in 2016 unconstitutionally deprived Mary Jackson of work.

A State Department official told Congress the Pentagon is preventing the US government from working with the International Criminal Court (ICC) to prosecute Russians for the invasion of Ukraine. Several Senators on the Foreign Relations Committee pressed Beth Van Schaack, ambassador-at-large for Global Criminal Justice, to name the Department of Defense as holding up cooperation with the ICC. Committee chairman, Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ), said, “The State Department has encouraged working with the [International Criminal Court] ICC to bring Putin to justice.

In many ways, freedom of speech is vanishing in America, with "equity" demands, "pronoun" orders and requirements for not just political, but gender, racial and other correctness. Freedom of religion, too, has been attacked under the Joe Biden administration, with multiple legal fights by groups that simply want to worship in their faith traditions. After all, It was Biden's administration that spied on traditional Catholics. Click for Full Text!
