17+ min ago (1043+ words) Biden's border surge left hundreds of thousands of migrant children unaccounted for'and a $23 billion network of contractors and nonprofits with no answers. On the campaign trail, Vice President JD Vance repeatedly chastised the Biden administration for allegedly losing track of some 320,000 minors who had crossed the border unaccompanied. "Our government, under the policies of Kamala Harris, has lost thousands of innocent children to sex trafficking, to drug trafficking, to human trafficking," Vance said. One year later, the fate of most of those children remains unknown. While the Trump administration has all but stopped the crush of migrants that occurred during Biden's term, neither the government nor the nonprofits that were largely responsible for resettling this vulnerable population of unaccompanied minors have been able to tell RealClearInvestigations where they are living. Nearly half a million unaccompanied minors under the age of…...

18+ min ago (607+ words) California's endless tangle of petty rules shows a state so obsessed with control that even simple daily tasks have become exercises in regulated misery. The litany of reasons California is broken is well documented. The highest cost of living and the highest taxes. The highest percentages of homeless people and people living in poverty. Unaffordable homes and unaffordable rent. High crime and failing schools. A hostile business climate and record migration out of state as people and businesses flee. But not often enough are we reminded of the countless small things that have gone wrong. Small things that add up to a big problem: a state legislature that is out of touch with the people it represents; a state legislature that, for all practical purposes, holds its constituents in contempt; a state legislature that is doing everything in its power…...

18+ min ago (535+ words) Blue state leaders and teacher union bosses are outraged by the minor changes being made to the U.S. Department of Education. In the latest wave of fearmongering surrounding President Trump's efforts to overhaul the U.S. Department of Education, a coalition of states that sued to stop mass layoffs at the department in March is now challenging recent decisions to transfer many of the DOE's core functions to the U.S. Department of Labor and other federal agencies. American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten also claims that the move is not legal. "There are lots of things about the Department of Education that are in statute," she declares, referring to funds that the department distributes to low-income families, students with disabilities, English as a Second Language learners, and work-study programs. Let's take a deep breath, step back, and look at the facts. Neal McCluskey,…...

18+ min ago (398+ words) No more pushing your cart down the aisles on autopilot Grocery shopping is an unavoidable line in your budget. But that does not mean you have to allocate as much of your budget to your weekly food shop as you currently are, especially if you are hoping to trim back to tackle other financial priorities, whether it be paying down high-interest debt or bumping up your retirement account contributions. A stricter budget at the grocery store does not have to mean a menu of bland meals, either. Rather, like with any area of spending, it is about putting a bit more thought into your expenditures and getting strategic and savvy, as opposed to pushing your cart down the aisles on autopilot. If you want to make a change, it first helps to gain an understanding of what your existing habits…...

22+ min ago (243+ words) Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker signed a bill into law on Dec. 9 that will limit federal immigration enforcement in the state, including in its courthouses and hospitals. HB 1312, which went into effect immediately, allows people to take legal action against law enforcement officers they believe violated their constitutional rights during civil immigration operations in the state. The legislation also bars civil arrests in and around courthouses for anyone attending certain state court proceedings and provides a pathway for affected individuals to seek damages for false imprisonment.

The bill also prohibits schools and childcare centers from disclosing the actual or perceived immigration status of students, employees, or anyone associated with them to third…...
