Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer’s Hypocrisy.

The bottom line is he doesn’t really care about any specific vaping product or kids, he’s just using this argument to push regulators into taking a hard line on the product and expand the federal government’s power into somewhere new. And if he really cared about health, he wouldn’t be going after the most successful stop-smoking aid out there while advocating for filter-less smoke from pot. As a former smoker who quit with the help of vaping (who then quit that, by the way), the idea that Chuck Schumer has made the health care of kids a priority is laughable when you look at his actions to promote marijuana.

The man who Trump more than once has been not unfavorably compared too in style and approach to whipping up a wide swath of the masses had this to say about how to rev up a multitude, “For the great majority of a nation thought and conduct are ruled by sentiment rather than sober reasoning.”

Many of us who stand with Barbara Lee chafe at Governor Gavin Newsome’s failure to appoint Congresswoman Lee. Still, we all have high hopes and wish much success for Laphonza Butler and his selection.   Governor Newsome’s appointment checks his box to appoint a Black woman to the next open seat in the Senate. His refusal to hear the many who asked him to appoint Congresswoman Lee will have ramifications in the long run. What might Dianne Feinstein have done had she been governor? Food for thought.

Accidents involving jaywalkers in California encompass a complex interplay of legal, safety, and behavioral factors that require careful consideration. Understanding the potential legal consequences, insurance coverage, and claims process is essential for all parties involved.

Regardless if you are a driver or you are a jaywalker, it is best to seek legal representation to get compensation and hold the person responsible.

The National Urban League wants to see black businesses and workers participate in the economic opportunity that renewable energy investments are creating. As the eminent threats of climate change continues to loom, we can no longer afford to ignore it. We have an opportunity to realize the clean energy transition in a way that creates a more inclusive and equitable economy, but we need to implement bold and innovative ideas to be part of it.

Politics: One Stat Rarely Tells the Story.

The Biden administration has inadvertently reduced the debt-to-GDP ratio. But it has done it in the worse possible way, refusing to heed warnings of an inflation debacle and instill some fiscal common sense. This has made the work of the Fed harder, if not impossible, and life more difficult for rich and poor Americans alike.

If we want more of the poorest people to have decent lives, we need to invest in both fossil fuels and nuclear power.

Why Do ‘GOP’ Lionize the Leaker?

Lawler may still represent the majority in the Grand Old Party, or at least we should hope so. But any Republican still aiming to protect national security and uphold democracy must look hard at the likes of Trump, Greene, Carlson and their gang — whose perfidious behavior inflames the very worst suspicion.

Republican Tim Scott and American Exceptionalism.

This vital message was lost in the presidency of our first Black president, and great damage was done.

So, Scott’s race matters not for woke reasons but for anti-woke reasons.

This is a candidacy that can make all the difference where Barack Obama failed.

Americans: Regulatory Octopus Is Strangling Our Economy.

Congress still has power over the purse. Cutting the regulatory budgets in half would still ensure safety, financial soundness and a clean environment while saving half a trillion dollars over 10 years. The Republicans should start by ensuring that the snoops at the IRS don’t get 87,000 more IRS agents to harass citizens and pry into every private transaction we make.

Yes, we want sound regulation. But it shouldn’t cost our families and businesses $2 trillion a year.
