Josh Shapiro, Pennsylvania's Democrat governor, just made a foolish move , according to Salena Zito, the pre-eminent political reporter in the U.S. According to Ms. Zito, "Two days ago, Beth Ann Bossio woke up to the news that Pennsylvania would not have a booth at the Great American State Fair, the Fourth of July celebration underway on the National Mall in Washington." The article continues, saying "The decision was made by Gov. Josh Shapiro (D-PA), who told the New Republic he would not send a delegation to the fair in honor of America 250 after his administration said it canvassed opinions among Pennsylvania businesses and told the reporter, 'None of them were interested.'" Shapiro might've been ok had that be the only thing he'd said. Unfortunately for Gov. Shapiro, he also said "their disinterest 'reflects the sad state of affairs that we find ourselves in that the president politicized this to a degree that businesses don’t want t...

There's a class of people that are loving what's happening in Minneapolis. After reading this Alpha News article , I'm certain that those people are classified as criminals or felons. The article opens by saying "Another violent weekend in Minneapolis left two people dead and several injured in at least ten shootings across the city during Pride weekend." Minneapolis could get mistaken for Chicago on weekends like last weekend. The article continues, saying "The violence began with a homicide early Friday morning on the 2500 block of Clinton Avenue. Police responded about 12:45 a.m. to reports of gunfire and found a man gravely injured, who later died at the scene. In a statement, police said they found evidence of gunfire in the area." Mayor Jacob Frey has failed Minneapolis. The sad thing is that other potential mayoral candidates are just as bad or they're worse. Saturday shootings At 12:30 a.m. Saturday, police found a male shot near Mortimer’s b...

This weekend's Life, Liberty & Levin programs focused heavily on Declaration of Independence . Further, it focused on the difference between the American Revolution, which led to the most stable government for the past 250 years, and the French Revolution, which led to a destabilization of the French government. Finally, it featured experts like Newt Gingrich and Victor Davis Hanson teaching us about the Declaration of Independence and the Revolutionary War. Meanwhile, Jonathan Turley and John Yoo spoke about the writing and debating of the Constitution. Each of these men talked about the men involved instarting and finishing the Revolutionary War, then finished by talking about the men who wrote, then debated, the Constitution. During his interview, Newt Gingrich explained that our Founding Fathers focused on virtue and building a resilient structure, not on partisan policies. In the interview, Gingrich said that each of us had a right from God to pursue happiness, "whic...

Saturday night, Life Liberty & Levin host Mark Levin interviewed GWU Law Professor Jonathan Turley to talk about the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. It's a timely intervview after Prof. Turley wrote this article about the Democrats' plan for packing the Supreme Court for his blog. Turley wrote "Democrats are renewing their calls to pack the Supreme Court with an instant liberal majority once they retake power. Rep. Seth Moulton (D., Mass.), who is facing a complaint over an alleged assault of a reporter, demanded the packing of the Court due to its decision to allow President Donald Trump to rescind Temporary Protected Status (TPS). Other members have joined the effort, citing the reversal of immigration decisions as the reason for eviscerating one of the most important institutions in our country." The first question that I'd pose to Democrats is who'd protect the American people's God-given right with such an ideologically-driven c...

According to this Alpha News article , "Hennepin County court has ordered Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey to increase the number of city police officers to a legally-required minimum number. That order, which was issued Thursday, says Frey could face a civil trial if he fails to prove the city has 731 officers." Remember that this Jacob Frey is the same soft-on-crime mayor who thinks that criminal illegal aliens are "neighbors." This is the same soft-on-crime mayor that refused to testify at a grand jury investigation. While Frey refused to defund the police in 2020, he isn't a friend of the police. Frey's record shows that he isn't that worried about the safety of the people legally living here: Under the Minneapolis City Charter, the city is required to have 0.0017 sworn police officers on staff for every resident of the city. In the 2020 census, Minneapolis’ population was just below 430,000 people. As such, the city is required to employ 731 police offi...

When it comes to fighting fraud, nobody fights it like Tim Walz and Keith Ellison . This investigative report states "Minnesota Medicaid fraud: Claims against 7 providers date to 2020. Why were charges filed in 2026? Court records show fraud allegations against seven Minnesota providers date back years before charges were filed. The allegations are tied to a nationwide fraud operation involving hundreds of suspects and more than $6.5 billion. In Minnesota, the Attorney General’s Medicaid Fraud Control Unit said it built cases around seven providers accused of billing more than $700,000 for personal care work they either did not provide or were not licensed to provide. Charging documents against some of those seven providers say the alleged fraudulent activity dates back to 2020 , so 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS asked the state why charges weren’t filed until 2026." Predictably, the AG's office deployed the 'government shuffle'tactic to protect themselves: "Generally spe...
