UPS Labor Strike Could Have Serious Repercussions for Americans

A potential labor strike could be in the works for unionized workers of UPS, who are upset about what they claim was an unfair contract negotiation that took place in 2018. UPS workers claim that the COVID pandemic accelerated the online shopping appetite of Americans tenfold, and as a result, feel they are owed a contract renegotiation given the part they’ve played in bolstering the transformation of the new retail landscape. A strike would be highly detrimental to both business and online shoppers; UPS is responsible for delivering more than 24 million parcels daily, accounting for around 6% of America’s gross domestic product.

Chicago’s Woke New Solution to Holiday Weekend Violence 

Spring and summertime holidays have become notorious for being epicenters of shootings and violence in Chicago over the last decade. With Memorial Day weekend approaching, the city is looking to curb crime by deploying what the state calls ‘peacekeepers’ to the city over the holiday. The new units are a group of unarmed locals (not police officers) currently residing in traditionally violent city areas trained in ‘de-escalation tactics.’ The ‘peacekeepers’ are part of new Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson's woke efforts to curb violent crime in the city without using armed law enforcement.

Oath Keepers Leader Sentenced to 18 Years 

Stewart Rhodes, a former US Army paratrooper, Yale-educated lawyer, and founder of the Oath Keepers, was convicted on charges of seditious conspiracy and other crimes for his role in the Capitol riot on January 6th. The sentence is the most extended charge to be brought against a Capitol rioter and the harshest punishment given so far. At the hearing on Thursday, Rhodes showed little concern about his situation and appeared to have no remorse for his actions during the protest. Although Rhodes had little to do with the actual ‘storming’ of the Capitol, prosecutors claimed he acted as a “battlefield general” during the melee and was responsible for instigating other members of the Oath Keepers.

States Allowing Young Children to Serve Alcohol to Fix Labor Shortage

Due to a labor shortage in restaurants and bars, lawmakers in several states are looking to remedy the problem by adjusting laws on child labor. This month in Wisconsin and Ohio, lawmakers have supported proposals that would lower the required age to serve alcohol to just 14 years old. Also included in the legislation are policy changes that would allow for employers to work minors later hours on school nights and allow minors to work in hazardous environments such as meat lockers and industrial freezers. The bills have received substantial criticism from child labor protection advocates who have argued that relying on children to fix a lack of workers in a particular sector is a poor reflection on the country.

FAKE FOX NEWS: Leaked Fox News Company Handbook Reveals the Truth Behind the Company

The Daily Signal, The Heritage Foundation’s news outlet, received a copy of Fox News’ new company handbook. The company, known for its conservative news coverage, encourages its employees to “use bathrooms that align with their gender identity, rather than their biological sex, and permitted to dress in alignment with their preferred gender.” The revealed handbook notes that employees must be referred to by their chosen names and pronouns.  This is after a series of liberal decisions by the company: referring to males who have transitioned as females, airing a child’s decision to transition, and including language like ​​“expanding and strengthening” efforts to “sustain a more inclusive work environment.” Read More

Scott for President 2024!

Senator Tim Scott has thrown his hat into the ring to be the next GOP presidential candidate in 2024. In his announcement, Senator Scott attempted to carve out his slice of the GOP pie. He claimed voters are tired of negativity and hoped to mold his brand around an  "optimistic, positive message anchored in conservatism." Scott has a gargantuan task ahead of him — as his current polling numbers are in the single digits, far behind potential nominee Ron DeSantis and President Trump. Although Scott’s run for President may appear as a long shot, anything is possible in the 2024 election, especially considering the crowded field of candidates lining up to challenge former President Trump.

Do As I Say, Not As I Do: The Age-Old Logic of the Left

Palo Alto, California, one of the wealthiest cities in America, is one of many cities to cave into the woke ideology. They recently outlawed gas stoves in their city as a way to protect the climate, following the ideas that the Biden administration has been loosely promoting. However, celebrity Chef José Andrés, who is in the process of constructing one of his restaurants in the city, has just been granted an exemption from this law. He claimed that his food would not taste the same and he would be forced to change his menu… The Left has flirted with the idea of ridding cities and states of natural gas, with California’s governor banning gas-powered cars in the state by 2035. Unfortunately, it appears that Palo Alto is also not the last city to give into this pattern. Read More

FBI Subpoenaed Over Politically Motivated Demotion of Employees

Christopher Durham, the author of the recently released Durham Report, responded to a subpoena from the House Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government regarding accusations of how the FBI’s political bias has been seriously affecting the objective performance of officers within its agency. Multiple whistleblowers have come forward in recent months, testifying that the agency has actively demoted them for being “critical thinkers who challenged conventional wisdom.” The agency has also been accused of providing local field officers perverse incentives in order to manipulate case outcomes in ways that would benefit FBI leadership.  Read More
