        The repeal of the "Law of the River" as suggested by an August 15 LTE is so much easier to propose than to achieve.

        Why Gen Z Is Going To Movie Theaters More Than Anyone Else

        • unbranded - Lifestyle

        As the generation who grew up with Netflix, TikTok and endless scrolling, Gen Z might seem like the least likely group to bring cinemas back to life. However, new research suggests that Gen Z is actually the generation most likely to buy a ticket and head to the movies. According to a Fandan…

Paxton mostly ignored it, preferring to focus on touting himself as the standard-bearer for MAGA values. Neither candida…

              The good news is that Immigration and Customs Enforcement is preparing to provide officers with body cameras. The bad news is that agency officials don’t sound enthusiastic about actually releasing any video.

                        Is anyone else tired of reading about the intricate distinctions among capitalism, democratic socialism, socialism and communism? If so let’s address raw politics.

                          If Karl Marx put on a red MAGA hat and promised a tax cut, MAGAs would vote for him. Biggs is playing a shell game with voters, proposing to cut one tax and increase another. It’s going to bite him. 30 years of Republican majority in AZ legislature proves they can't manage 5th grade math.

                            A defining moment from John McCain’s 2008 campaign is being revisited as a reminder of political integrity, highlighting the importance of correcting misinformation — even within one’s own party — in today’s polarized climate.
