California city faces fury of residents at community meeting: Who wants to live like this?! | Fox News:
Over 500 residents and business owners turned up to a community meeting in Oakland, California, this week to voice their frustrations over the city's "rampant" crime problem. Open Mind Music owner Henry Wimmer told "America Reports" on Thursday that he's been a victim of smash-and-grab theft and once scared off a person casing a car with a flashlight.
"What I see is a lot of people upset and understandably so, because crime has really been rampant in the time I've been in the Rockridge neighborhood, which is really a beautiful, wonderful neighborhood," Wimmer said.

Don't be fooled, 'Green Energy' is neither green nor energy | Fox News
- The 'green' idea is really all about minimal human impact.
- Wind and solar don't fit that definition - By Alex Epstein | Fox News
"...The "green energy" movement claims that it wants cost-effective energy—affordable, reliable, plentiful—just without fossil fuels’ pollution or GHG emissions.
But this is contradicted by its hostility toward clean, non-carbon nuclear and hydro—the most proven alternatives to fossil fuels.
- You might expect the "green energy" movement to be the Number 1 supporter of clean, non-carbon nuclear and hydroelectric energy, but instead, it is the Number 1 opponent.
- "Green" groups have opposed nuclear for decades (leading to crippling costs) and worked to shut down hydroelectric dams.
Why does the "Green" movement oppose nuclear and hydro?...

Blue State Blues: California's Insurance Debacle and Gavin Newsom's Future:
California should be heaven on earth, but is en route to becoming the proverbial hell on a road paved with good intentions.
The latest example is the state’s insurance debacle. State Farm, the largest insurer in California, said this week that it will stop issuing new home and business policies, partly due to the risk of wildfires and the cost of construction. (Allstate quietly followed soon after.)

Opinion | Install work zone cameras for speeders to save workers’ lives
- Last week was National Work Zone Awareness Week, which was designated by Congress to help raise attention for the people who have dedicated their lives to improving the roads and bridges millions of Americans use every single day.
- There are a number of reasons why additional safety precautions need to be taken in and around road construction areas. Work zones often mean closed lanes and merging traffic; furthermore, the lanes that are used are usually narrower, compromising the integrity of the roadway.

Lawmakers sound off on Target woke controversy: 'Obsession with focusing on children' | Fox News
Lawmakers sound off on Target woke controversy: 'Obsession with focusing on children' | Fox News:
"I think to some extent companies have the freedom to say whatever they want," Rubio told Fox News Digital. "But obviously consumers are going to react. I think in the Target one, which is different from the Bud Light one, the Target one has to do with families that are going into stores and being bombarded, not just with Pride month stuff, but with products specifically designed for children. I think that most Americans would say, look, adults can do whatever they want in the privacy of their own lives at home. But when you take the power of corporations and ram it down people's throats aimed at children, you're going to have a very visceral reaction.

MacIntyre: Lessons from the battle against woke capital - TheBlaze:
This year is different, however, as the rapid push to advance radical gender ideology onto children has awakened parents to the dangers of the trans movement, which has simultaneously been pushed to the front of the wider LGBTQ coalition. Bud Light and Target have already seen steep profit losses due to their elevation of transitionist propaganda, as effective boycotts from red America decimate their bottom line. Companies like the North Face and Kohl's are also feeling the heat due to their shameless attempts to push Pride-themed merchandise onto children.

"...Every decade or so, the government makes the case for expanding its wartime powers and curtailing the citizenry’s freedom—in the war on terrorism, war on drugs...
As part of the government’s so-called crackdown on illegal immigration, drugs and trafficking, border patrol cops are expanding their reach, roaming further afield and subjecting greater numbers of Americans to - warrantless searches,
- ID checkpoints,
- transportation checks, and even
- surveillance on private property far beyond the boundaries of the borderlands.
That so-called border, once a thin borderline, is now an ever-thickening band spreading deeper and deeper inside the country.
Consequently, nearly 66% of Americans (2/3 of the U.S. population, or 197.4 million people) now live within a 100-mile-deep, Constitution-free zone.
