The latest figures from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) showed that in 2023, the British fertility rate fell to 1.44 children per woman, a record…
Monday on MSNBC’s “Katy Tur Reports,” Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) said that President Donald Trump’s “big, beautiful” spending bill was a “deeply immoral piece of legislation.” Murphy said, “We’re debating a bill that’s going to cut healthcare for 16 million people. It’s going to give a tax break to, you know, massively wealthy people who don’t need any more money. There are going to be kids who go hungry because of this bill. This is the biggest reduction in, you know, nutrition benefits for kids in the history of the country.” He added, “I mean, this is the most deeply immoral…
Two Republican members of the House Rules Committee blasted the Senate-passed GOP megabill hours before the panel meets to prepare the legislation for a final decisive vote. Rep. Ralph Norman (R-S.C.) told reporters he currently opposes advancing the bill out of the Rules Committee after the Senate’s changes. And Rep.

Waffle House announced it has dropped the 50 cent per egg surcharge the restaurant chain added in February as egg prices soared after mismanagement of the avian flu by the outgoing Biden administration in 2024 led to a shortage of eggs. The news media, which downplayed sky high inflation under the Biden administration, suddenly couldn’t stop talking about the price of eggs as soon as President Donald Trump was sworn into office on January 20. It took just a few months for Trump to fix Biden’s blunder. Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins released an update last week (excerpt): U.S. Secretary of…

Britain’s Royal Train will be decommissioned by 2027 as a cost-cutting measure as the Royal Family leans into helicopter travel as a means to rapidly cross the United Kingdom. The nine-carriage rake, specially built with travelling offices, bedrooms, and a dining room for the Royals is to be decommissioned as it has fallen out of frequent use and yet still incurs considerable costs. The Times states the decision will save one million pounds a year, and that King Charles made the decision in consultation with his son, Prince William, as an alternative to refurbishing the train’s now-30-year-old interiors. The Royal Train…
A Senate provision stripping abortion providers — including Planned Parenthood — of federal taxpayer dollars through Medicaid will remain in the Big, Beautiful Bill after the Senate parliamentarian on Monday ruled that the language does not violate the Byrd Rule. Parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough allowed the provision to remain after Senate Republicans on Friday changed the timing of defunding from ten years to one year, the Hill reported. The Senate additionally rejected an amendment that would have funded Planned Parenthood as part of the budget reconciliation bill by a 49-51 vote. The success comes after a major campaign by conservatives and pro-life…

A driving school in New York City is accused of rushing to give driver’s licenses to illegal immigrants, even if it was obvious that they had no idea how to drive a car. Why do you suppose they would do this? What possible thing can illegals do with a license that they can’t do without one, besides driving? Do you suppose this had anything to do with voting? Are we even allowed to ask that? The New York Post reports: NYC driving school rigged driver’s licenses for illegal immigrants — even if they couldn’t drive: DA A Big Apple driving…
