"Gender Queer," and "All Boys Aren't Blue," are ok... The Bible is Not?   Texas School District Removes Bible Under HB 900 Regulations A Texas public school district has removed the Bible from its libraries to comply with House Bill 900, also known as the READER Act, which prohibits books with “sexually explicit material” in school libraries.

Some parents expressed outrage at the decision. One mother criticized the remo...

House Rejects Trump-Endorsed American Relief Act of 2024 Amidst Bipartisan Opposition   Vance: Look, I'll say one thing: The Democrats just voted to shut down the government even though we had a clean CR because they didn't want to give the President negotiating leverage during the first year of his first term.

  New Regulations on US Dairy Two-thirds of American dairy farms have been eliminated within one generation. Cows produce dangerous emissions and have no place in modern society, according to the World Economic Forum and climate change proponents. We are seeing a drastic decline in dairy farms across the world thanks to this mentality. The latest crackdown on dairy farms comes from new regulations by the U.S. Department of Agriculture that demand dairy cattle be tested for the bird flu or H5N1.
