JUNEAU — As they begin their first special session of 2019, Alaska lawmakers seem to have solved their crime legislation logjam. Now, they will turn their attention to the Permanent Fund dividend, but a quick solution isn’t likely.
Complicating matters, Gov. Mike Dunleavy has tied a decision on the dividend to the state operating budget. Without agreement on a dividend, lawmakers cannot finish the state’s operating budget and capital budget. The state is on track for a government shutdown on July 1.

Solis, who is now on the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, tweeted on Thursday support for 12 House members who sent a letter to HUD Secretary Ben Carson. The letter demands that the rule requiring everyone living in public houses to be in the country legally be revoked because some of those who could be affected are U.S. citizen children with illegal parents.

When Democrats took control of the House of Representatives, it became clear that the most they could do was obstruct.
They couldn’t really pass any bills that Republicans would look at seriously, at least given the fact they weren’t willing to work with GOP members of Congress. They weren’t going to be able to set the legislative agenda. So, what were they going to do? Continue reading “Fed-Up TX Leaders Take Stand, Tell Feds They Can’t Control Sovereign State”

Hypocritical to the core, the execution of false-flag events spare aggressive states the ignominy of appearing in public as the warmongering psychopaths they are, lest their subjects get the wrong idea as to exactly who is governing over them.
The last thing tyrannical rulers want, after all, are battles raging on two fronts, especially if one of those fronts just happens to be back in the Heartland. Psychopaths are mentally deranged, of course, but that does not mean they are necessarily stupid. Continue reading “US-Iran Showdown Is One False-Flag Attack Away From Global Calamity”

Ron DeSantis, Florida’s new governor, should be really proud of himself. He recently recalled that when he ran for governor “…[he] promised to be the most pro-Israel governor in America and that the first delegation [he] would lead would be to the state of Israel.” When he confirmed that he would be taking his entire cabinet with him as part of a 75-person delegation scheduled to leave for Israel on May 25th, he boasted that “Today I’m pleased to report that I’m keeping that promise.

If you live in California, you have something else to worry about in addition to your rent being too high and your house possibly burning down: long wait times and overcrowding at the emergency room.
According to new data from the California Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development reported by Kaiser Health News, the number of trips to the ER in the state grew 20 percent from 2012 to 2017.
