Voting has commenced on a significant proposition in California that could reshape the state’s congressional representation. Proposition 50, or Prop 50, has the potential to increase the number of Democratic-held seats in Congress by as many as five by the 2026 midterms.

Jimmy Kimmel’s recent claim that Antifa is merely a figment of imagination has sparked skepticism and backlash. In a monologue filled with bold assertions, Kimmel stated, “You understand, there is no Antifa?

These events have been captured on video, contradicting Kimmel’s…

The dynamics of political power in America reveal a troubling pattern among Democratic leaders in cities ravaged by crime.

Instead of acknowledging the reality of escalating crime and considering Trump’s offers for federal assistance, they align themselves against him. Their public statements—a mix of denial and outrage—indicate a concerted…
