The state of California is about to give movie and TV studios a new lucrative tax perk. A bill awaiting California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s signature would extend the state’s tax incentive program for film and TV productions for five years but with a key update: Studios with more tax credits than they can use will be able to exchange those credits for cash. The bill, part of the state’s overall budget plan, was passed by California legislators on Tuesday, and Newsom is expected to sign it on Friday. Click for Full Text!

Presently, the recall process is only available to voters in 20 of the state’s 67 counties and in municipalities. Click for Full Text!

Daniel Penny, the former Marine and subway hero, was arraigned on Wednesday in a brief legal step toward a full jury trial. He pleaded not guilty to the two charges the grand jury brought against him: second- degree manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide. Second-degree manslaughter is the killing of another human being without the intent of doing so, and is often referred to as involuntary manslaughter. New York law defines second-degree manslaughter as “a death that occurs without intent to cause serious physical injury, but where reckless conduct by the defendant resulted in death.” Click for Full Text!

The federal government is suing a small Chicago mortgage company over its employees’ public remarks on the safety of certain areas of the city, effectively trying to censor disfavored opinions — and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), self-styled defender of the First Amendment, is siding with the government. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), brainchild of Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), began investigating Townstone Financial in 2017 over alleged civil-rights violations. Three years later, the agency sued Townstone. Click for Full Text!
Ideological warfare: Woke culture is poisoning the military

There is no other way to put it: We are at war right now. Our liberties have been under attack for quite some time. The enemy has slipped in the back door and taken so much from us. Its reigning ideology — wokeness — is present in all levels of government and has this country in a chokehold. The military is no exception. The radical liberal woke ideology has infested the military, undermining its readiness and ability to perform its mission. Woke policies aim to divide and distract us. It’s not unlike the Marxist movement of the Cold War. Indeed, back in a 1984 interview with KGB propagandist Yuri Bezmenov, the Russian agent admitted the goals of the Marxist movement were to ...
The Number of Americans Living on the Streets “Has Broadly Risen This Year”

Joe Biden and the mainstream media keep telling us that the economy is in good shape, but we continue to get more evidence that directly contradicts that assertion. Over the past few years, the cost of living has been rising much more rapidly than paychecks have, and this has absolutely eviscerated the middle class. So many families that were once thriving financially are now deeply struggling, and so many that were once deeply struggling to make ends meet are now living on the streets. According to a comprehensive analysis that was just conducted by the Wall Street Journal, the number of homeless people in the United States “has broadly risen this year”… Click for Full Text!

There has never existed any government so evil and repugnant that it has been unable to find lawyers, and particularly judges, to do its bidding. Hitler did not need to manufacture lawyers and judges. A very significant number, indeed the majority, of established and reputable German lawyers were prepared to participate actively in Nazi law, both its development and implementation.

A 2022 wildfire in California that many were quick to blame on so-called climate change has been ruled an act of arson, and a suspect has been arrested. The Oak Fire, which destroyed over 120 homes in Mariposa County, California, in 2022, is being blamed on Edward Fredrick Wackerman, a former firefighter — and a Democratic donor. Wackerman faces several felony counts, including aggravated arson, arson that causes great bodily injury, and arson causing damage or destruction of inhabited structures. Over 19,000 acres were burned in the East Central California county, which includes a portion of Yosemite National Park. Click for Full Text!

Robert Bowers was found guilty by a jury on all charges Friday after he went to a Jewish synagogue in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, and shot 11 people to death in 2018, according to ABC News.

The trial lasted for several weeks but it only took the jury less than a day to issue a guilty verdict on all 63 charges for killing 11 people at the Tree of Life Synagogue. Click for Full Text!
Federal court strikes down costly Biden admin regs hampering lobster fishermen

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit ruled Friday that the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) had no legal basis to rely on pessimistic statistical models to justify imposing costly federal regulations onto lobster fisheries and lobstermen. The court held in its decision that the NMFS “was egregiously wrong” in its interpretation of the Endangered Species Act (ESA) which would have enabled the agency to impose costly regulations on lobstermen in order to protect endangered whales. The challenged regulations were set to require lobstermen and their equipment to meet new standards in order for the lobstermen to receive re-authorization from the federal government to ...
Why Does Alabama Only Let You Consume Peach-Flavored Edibles?

Alabama, which legalized medical weed back in 2021, is just now getting around to licensing cultivators, testing labs, processors, transporters, and dispensaries so qualifying patients can begin to have access. The catch? You can't smoke it, and all the edibles you consume must be peach- flavored. You see, if the edibles are cube-shaped (also stipulated by law) and peach-flavored, they're somehow less likely to interest kids—at least that's the state Senate's logic after a heated floor debate, according to Alabama Reflector's Brian Lyman (and the new regulations).

New York City Police Commissioner Keechant Sewell has become powerless in making decisions in her department without approval from Mayor Eric Adams' administration, which has "tied her up," after she approved disciplining Chief of Department Jeffrey Maddrey, the NYPD's highest-ranking uniformed officer, according to sources. Historically, commissioners have been able to promote detectives to higher grades or transfer police officers into detective service, but such matters are now up to Adams' discretion, the sources, who were not named, told the New York Post.
