Similarly, states that passed laws contradicting the Biden administration’s positions on issues like abortion and gender have faced lawsuits challenging the constitutionality of the bills.

Commentary: After Just Four Years of Biden-Harris, America’s National Security Is in Tatters

China President Xi Jinping and President Joe Biden

Ronald Reagan’s query to the American people in his October 28, 1980, debate with incumbent President Jimmy Carter was so simple and so devastating that it is still employed today: “Are you better off than you were four years ago?” While most Americans are far worse off today than they were four years ago, with rising prices, inflation, a hollow economy, and unchecked immigration, so too are the U.S., its allies, and its partner’s national security interests, which are far worse off than they were four years ago.

Governor Glenn Youngkin and Attorney General Jason Miyares have vowed Virginia will fight the lawsuit launched by the Biden-Harris Department of Justice (DOJ) over the commonwealth’s recent effort to remove non-citizens from its voter rolls, with both noting it was filed less than one month before Election Day.

The DOJ on Friday launched litigation against Virginia after the commonwealth removed non-citizens from its voter rolls, with the federal government alleging the commonwealth violated the National Voter Registration Act of 1993, which it argued prohibits canceling voter registrations within 90 days of an election, even if those voters were illegally registered.

Commentary: Remembering the Courage of Christopher Columbus

Admin

Today we remember the Italian explorer Christopher Columbus, who in October 1492 landed in the Bahamas and became the first Western European to discover what the Europeans would call the New World.

When Columbus and his crew of approximately 200 sailors left Spain in three crowded ships – the Niña, the Pinta, and the Santa Maria – they set their sails toward an unknown horizon. They expected to discover a trade route to India. (Most Europeans at the time knew the earth was round – but they were unaware of the North and South American continents.) Instead of finding a route to Southeast Asia, Columbus and his crew landed on a continent of new opportunities. Columbus’s accidental discovery opened a permanent passage across the Atlantic and redrew the known map of the world.

She received the shot on deployment to Kuwait and began developing strange symptoms: She had menstrual issues, digestive problems, an odd zapping sensation like a shock, numbness, muscles twitches, and extreme fatigue. All this was the more strange because prior to receiving the shot, Shannon had been in the best shape of her life, playing volleyball and doing CrossFit.
