The Push by Democrats to Ban One of the Commonly Owned Handguns in the U.S.

By John Lott, Worldwide Expert on Guns & Crime

Gun control advocates are trying a new tactic. Instead of trying to ban all handguns, some Democrat states are trying to ban one of the most commonly owned handguns - Glocks - which they claim can be easily converted into machine guns. Maryland's Democrat Governor Wes Moore and Connecticut's Democrat Governor Ned Lamont joined California by signing into law a ban on the manufacture, sale, purchase, and transfer of guns with a cruciform trigger bar, which is a vital internal component of semi-automatic pistols - most notably Glock and Glock-style firearms. Named after its cross-like shape, it connects the trigger to the firing mechanism and plays a crucial role in the firearm's safety and discharge sequence. [more...]

Hollywood Targets LA Mayoral Candidate Spencer Pratt

By James Hirsen, NY Times Bestselling Author, International Business Attorney, News Analyst & Cultural Commentator

As the race for the Los Angeles city mayor heats up, some top-name celebrities are rushing to the rescue of incumbent Mayor Karen Bass by targeting her rising-star challenger Spencer Pratt. Actor, comedian, and game show host Drew Carey recently took to the social media stage to spout off about Pratt and cuss in current Dem fashion. "Anyone who votes for or endorses Spencer Pratt for Mayor of LA needs to get their head out of their a**," Carey wrote. Carey's tirade is no isolated rant; it's actually a reflection of a broader pattern on the part of select Hollywood celebrities, who appear to be trying to save Bass from an embarrassing loss come election day.

HUD's New Homelessness Count

By Michele Steeb, Homelessness Expert

The Department of Housing and Urban Development just released the latest homelessness count: a 3% drop in overall numbers - but a staggering 81% surge in chronically homeless Americans after 12 years of "housing first, treatment never." Untreated diseases - including addiction and mental illness - worsen. That's exactly what happened. Thankfully, President Trump and Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Scott Turner are righting the ship by prioritizing AND funding disease treatment in our approach to homelessness. [more...]

Iran Update - A Balanced Assessment

By Todd Sheets, Investment Banker, Economist, Author of 2008: What Really Happened

Depending on how negotiations proceed, we could still end up with an extended blockade, perhaps combined with further targeted air strikes. But, recent posturing aside, President Trump seems eager to achieve a negotiated settlement that will reopen the Strait, reinvigorate the global economy, and allow us to bring our troops home. Furthermore, only the president and his team are in a position to fully evaluate the effect of the on-going war on our own military resources and on other risks such as Taiwan and Ukraine. And, finally, like it or not, the president has to take domestic politics into account – if he loses too much support, his ambitious agenda will be threatened. [more...]

Asian Emerging Markets are Turning Stablecoins into Everyday Financial Infrastructure

By Kenneth Rapoza, Reporter/Columnist for Coalition for a Prosperous America

The old crypto narrative was simply that Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) is an investment everyone needed to hold. Maybe someday people will use it to buy cars or real estate. But with Bitcoin and other major crypto currencies declining all year, and alt-coins desperately trying to prove their investability, the best cryptocurrency story today lies in two things: stablecoins and payment infrastructure.

Platner Loses Women

By Daniel Greenfield, CEO of the David Horowitz Freedom Center

"He's a cheater, he's an antisemite... he's a liar, a racist.

The Democrats have a massive gender gap so the logic of putting up someone like Graham Platner in Maine, a Madison Avenue liberal's idea of what working class looks like, is winning back men. But after the sexting scandal, the math has shifted so that Dems have to bet that they're not going to lose more women, a group they're counting on, than they're going to gain men, a group they've been losing to Republicans. And the problem is that there's something gross and off-putting about Platner. [more...]
