Rep. Nancy Mace says she’s getting threats over Sarah McBride trans bathroom bill

By Emily Crane | New York Post South Carolina Republican Rep. Nancy Mace says she has been getting death threats over her push to ban incoming transgender Democratic Rep.-elect Sarah McBride and others from using female restrooms inside the Capitol. The backlash came after Mace unveiled a new bathroom bill resolution earlier week that seeks to prevent trans women from using the female restrooms on Capitol Hill — arguing she wasn’t going to stand for “someone with a penis in the women’s locker room.” “They are threatening to kill me over this. Men that want to use women’s restrooms are threatening to kill me over this issue,” Mace told NewsNation’s “On Balance” late Tuesday. READ THE FULL STORY AT THE NEW YORK POST

Baldauf: Voters ignored biased perspective of broadcast and print news in ’24 election

By Michael Baldauf | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice Have you ever found yourself in a group where you discovered the leader was corrupt?  Maybe it was a church, where the pastor was not living the message, or a volunteer organization, where the leaders were taking advantage of their positions.  I would guess if you could not do anything to correct the situation you probably got away. People ask me why I don’t watch national newscasts on broadcast television anymore.  The answer is the same.  For about 40 years they have demonstrated that they are not interested in being a source for unbiased reporting.  The latest Gallop Poll found that almost 70 percent of the public said they do not trust the media.  The recent elections are an example of...

Prosecutors request stay in Trump NY case until 2029 as defense plans motion for dismissal ‘once and for all’

By Brooke Singman  | Fox News New York prosecutors are requesting a stay until at least 2029 in New York v. Trump, as the president's defense attorneys prepare to move to dismiss the case entirely.   Prosecutors wrote a letter to Judge Juan Merchan on Tuesday, who agreed last week to grant a stay on all deadlines associated with the conviction proceedings against Trump in the final months before he takes office.  Merchan granted the request, which issues a stay on all deadlines, including the Nov. 26 sentencing date, to consider the effect of his election as president.

Lyle: Are veterans being exploited by companies claiming to support them? 

By Dean Lyle | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice Veterans are pillars of our society, honored for their sacrifices and service. Companies like USAA and Navy Federal Credit Union have built their brands around serving military families, often positioning themselves as trusted allies. However, recent legal actions reveal troubling alleged practices that seem to exploit veterans rather than support them. From overcharging to surprise fees, these institutions have faced serious accusations of prioritizing profits over their commitment to the military community.  USAA: A pattern of failures and violations  USAA, founded to serve military members and their families, has faced mounting scrutiny for failing to uphold its promises. In addition to the $64.2 million sett...

Peter Thiel: Migration spikes housing costs, impoverishes young people

By Neil Munro | Breitbart Migration is helping to wreck the nation’s housing market and impose huge costs on young Americans, investor Peter Thiel told the Free Press news site. “The way I model what’s happened in the U.S., in Britain, Canada, a lot of the Anglosphere countries is a … real estate catastrophe,” said Thiel, a billionaire who made his fortune in Silicon Valley by creating Paypal and other Internet-based companies. Even small migration inflows can cause large increases in housing costs, especially in districts where there is little construction, Thiel said, adding: READ THE FULL STORY AT BREITBART

Truax: Don’t let Trump’s decisive victory lull you into a false sense of election security

By Doug Truax | Commentary, The Federalist The incoming Trump administration must make election integrity a top priority through federal legislation or persuading states to pass reforms. Four years ago, I asserted that we can “never again” allow an election like 2020 to happen. I’m back to say that despite Trump’s near landslide, America’s election system is still broken. And the time to fix it is immediately, while President Trump has the wind at his back with a Republican Congress and the public on his side.
