NYC Will Learn That Socialism Doesn’t Work

By Russ Minary | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice “The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other peoples’ money.”  — British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher On Tuesday, November 4, Zohran Mamdani was elected as Mayor of New York City. Mamdani is only 34, has never held a real job and openly claims to be a socialist. His Muslim faith was a major part of his campaign. In a city with a lot of Jewish citizens, he won with a majority of votes in a 3-way race. His campaign consisted mainly of a nice smile and a promise to make just about everything ‘free.’ Free transportation, groceries, housing, healthcare and childcare. But he didn’t explain who was going to pay for all of the ‘free stuff.’  NYC is about to experience one of its biggest crises, un...

FAA Orders DIA and Dozens of Airports to Cut Flights 10% Over Safety Concerns

By: Heather Willard | KDVR FOX31 DENVER (KDVR) — The Federal Aviation Administration announced the specific airports that will see flight cuts as the department seeks to maintain air safety across the nation, and Denver International made the list. The order requires certain air carriers to reduce total daily scheduled domestic operations between 6 a.m. and 10 p.m. at each airport by 10% through a slow ramp-up that begins Friday. There is no end date to the reductions. The FAA is requiring a 4% reduction in operations on Friday, a 6% reduction in operations by Nov. 11, an 8% reduction by Nov. 13, and to have the carriers reach the 10% reduction by Nov. 14. “My department has many responsibilities, but our number one job is safety. This isn’t about politics – it’s about assessing t...

Study Finds Wolves Cut Ranch Income Nearly 30 Percent

By: Daniel Munch | American Farm Bureau While the expansion of gray and Mexican gray wolf populations is often hailed as a conservation success, the consequences for ranching families can be gruesome, costly and complex - threatening the safety of ranch families and their pets and livestock, as well as the long-term survival of multigenerational ranches and the rural economies they anchor. Focusing on the Mexican gray wolf, a recent University of Arizona study analyzes both direct livestock depredation and indirect effects such as stress-induced weight loss and elevated management costs based on 2024 cattle prices. Findings are based on survey responses from impacted ranchers, modeling of herd-level financial outcome and county-level livestock performance trends. In areas w...

America’s Cold Civil War Heats Up and the Right Finds Itself Fully Unprepared

By: Scott McKay | Commentary, The American Spectator Kill the filibuster now, and start making policy in a lightning round. Just before Tuesday’s election returns started coming in, I found myself confused. We had gubernatorial races in New Jersey and Virginia where GOP candidates who had once appeared in competitive positions to win were flagging, and badly, other races around the country were ringing alarm bells for the Republicans, the government shutdown was hitting five weeks, and it was obvious the Democrats were using it to mobilize their base voters in ways Republicans weren’t doing, and what was the Right occupying its time with? Tearing the Heritage Foundation apart because its president, Kevin Roberts, voiced support for longtime ally Tucker Carlson. And why? Be...

On the five-year anniversary of 2020, Michigan court moves goalposts on attorneys who exposed Antrim County’s machines

By A.L. Goodwin | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice Five years after the 2020 election, Michigan courts are still litigating its aftermath. At the center are two attorneys, Stefanie Lambert and Matt DePerno, who led the Antrim County lawsuit that first exposed errors in the county’s vote tabulation. What began as a civil discovery dispute has now turned into a criminal prosecution—one that critics say rewrites the law after the fact and redefines ordinary litigation as “unauthorized possession” of election equipment. On November 3, 2025—the five-year mark of the 2020 election—the Michigan prosecution of attorneys Matt DePerno and Stephanie Lambert took a troubling turn. The Oakland County Circuit Court order (Case No. 2023-285759-FH) leaves no question where the balance tilts. J...

Congress uses little-known law to roll back Biden-era BLM public lands lockup

By Greg Walcher | Commentary, GregWalcher.com Last week, the Senate passed three Congressional Review Act resolutions overturning BLM resource management plans. What would have been called an earth-shattering precedent not so long ago was this time hardly noticed except by those who closely follow Interior and energy issues. The Biden-era resource management plans were designed to lock up millions of acres of public lands from the “multiple uses” required by law. The Congressional Review Act (CRA) was part of a small business package signed into law by President Bill Clinton in 1996. It provided a tool Congress sometimes uses to overturn federal regulatory agency actions. It requires agencies to report any new rules to Congress and provides special procedures under which Congress can...

Conservatives Unite to End Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Providers

By: Elizabeth Troutman Mitchell | The Daily Signal FIRST ON THE DAILY SIGNAL—The pro-life movement has determined its newest priority: preventing Planned Parenthood from receiving full funding again, starting July 4. “Next year, our nation will mark its 250th anniversary. A celebration of human dignity and the God-given rights proclaimed in our founding,” Live Action founder and president Lila Rose told The Daily Signal. “But we cannot celebrate freedom while subsidizing the killing of American children.” President Donald Trump’s “One, Big Beautiful Bill” instructed the federal government to end Medicaid payments for one year to abortion providers, such as Planned Parenthood, that received more than $800,000,000 from Medicaid in 2023. But on July 4, America’...

DOJ Pushes to Move Tina Peters to Federal Custody After Trump Calls for Her Release

By: Jerry Dunleavy | Just the News President Trump has called Peters a "brave and innocent Patriot" after she was convicted in Colorado last year. The Justice Department has requested that the Bureau of Prisons looks into ways to have ex-Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters transferred out of Colorado state prison and into a federal facility following her conviction last year and after President Donald Trump’s calls for her to be freed. The Office of Deputy Attorney General, led by Todd Blanche, the second-in-command to Attorney General Pam Bondi, sent an email Wednesday evening to Bureau of Prisons Director William Marshall, Just the News has learned, calling on the BOP to look into how Peters could be moved from state prison into federal custody. “At the r...

Democrats Move to Block Proof-of-Citizenship Voting Laws

By M.D. Kittle | The Federalist Leftist Groups Flood the EAC with comments in an effort to kill a call for documentary proof of U.S. citizenship to vote in U.S. elections. Democrats in Congress have fought against every bill that would ensure only U.S. citizens vote in U.S. elections. They voted against the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act in the House, and they’ve chloroformed it in the Senate. They’ve sued to stop President Donald Trump’s executive order requiring documentary proof of citizenship when registering to vote. Why would Democrats and left-wing activists fight so hard and spend so much money trying to kill a basic election safeguard that the vast majority of Americans support?  They want noncit...

Documents Show Activists Readying Hard Left Agenda For NYC

By Jerry Dunleavy | Just the News The Democratic Socialists of America helped deliver their fellow comrade, Zohran Mamdani, the NYC mayorship on Tuesday. Now, they have some demands, starting with policies about Israel. Aself-described “democratic socialist” will now govern New York City, capitalism's hub in America and the free world, and Just the News has obtained internal plans from the Democratic Socialists of America detailing how the NYC-DSA branch that Zohran Mamdani belongs to intends to pressure him to inject arguably extreme anti-Israel policies into the management -- and life -- of the Big Apple. Mamdani, who defeated former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Republican Curtis Sliwa on Tuesday, has been a longtime DSA member and leader, and he is listed&nbs...
