Thanks to the United Kingdom's Department of Health and Social Care's Annual Report and Accountability 2020-2021 report for the period ending March 31, 2021... read more

The Powder Keg Party
Lawrence Martin writes that, if you look at the recent history of the Conservative Party, what happened yesterday shouldn't be a surprise: Going by the Conservative Party’s current criteria for turfing its leaders, Stephen Harper would never have become prime minister. He would have been ditched after only holding the Liberals to a minority in 2004. The same thing would have happened to Liberals Lester Pearson and Wilfrid Laurier, who lost their first campaigns. They would never have become prime ministers. Tory Robert Stanfield was allowed three election defeats before having to ... read more

New Mexico Senator's stroke leaves Democrats short of a majorityNewsmax: Sen. Ben Ray Luján, D-N.M., is expected to make a full recovery after surgery to relieve pressure on his brain following a stroke.

Optimistic outlooks aside, mathematics makes the lawmaker's absence a significant complication for his party. A leave by Luján, 49, re... read more

There is a common perception that U.S. Customs agents are only concerned with what Americans returning from Mexico, or those visiting the United States, may have in their possession. That isn't a fully accurate picture, however. Just last month, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Office of Field Operations intercepted 5,000 rounds of ammunition at the Hidalgo International Bridge. The bridge, which connects th... read more
