Private-sector job creation bounced back in October, according to a snapshot of the labor market that has become more closely watched in the absence of official federal jobs data. Payroll processing company ADP on Wednesday estimated that private-sector businesses added an estimated 42,000 jobs last month, a swing into positive territory after back-to-back months of job losses. While October marked a return to job growth, ADP’s chief economist cautioned that the pace of hiring is running far slower than earlier this year and far more concentrated in a few sectors. “That recovery is tepid, and it is not broad-based,” Nela Richardson,…

Thieves are stealing millions in cargo from American trucking companies every year, beleaguering an industry already reeling from a string of horrific highway crashes. A pair of highway truck crashes, caused by Indian nationals who entered the country unlawfully, sparked national outrage over trucking regulations and prompted the Trump administration to issue sweeping restrictions on commercial driver’s licenses (CDLs) for illegal migrants. Trucking experts point to a combination of mass illegal immigration and lax vetting procedures as the recipe that not only attracted unqualified migrant truckers, but also a significant uptick in freight thefts. “The unprecedented influx of unvetted foreign individuals into…
A recent poll by Rasmussen Reports found that 52% of U.S. voters believe that aides and other officials under former President Joe Biden should be criminally prosecuted for purportedly using the presidential autopen without his knowledge or approval. Rasmussen Reports published a poll on Monday that found that 52% of voters believe Biden’s staffers should face criminal prosecution after purportedly covering up his dwindling mental acuity while in office. However, 32% disagreed with the majority, and 17% said they were “unsure.” Additionally, 55% of voters said that it is likely Biden’s White House staff used the autopen to sign important documents without his…

UPS and FedEx announced they have grounded their combined more than 50 McDonnell Douglas MD-11 cargo planes “out of an abundance of caution” after a crash in Louisville, Kentucky, that killed at least 14 people. On Tuesday, a UPS MD-11 crashed near Muhammad Ali International Airport, having burst into flames shortly after its takeoff headed to Honolulu.

President Donald Trump on Saturday morning proposed that Senate Republicans scrap Obamacare, which he called “the worst Healthcare anywhere in the World,” and instead direct the hundreds of billions of dollars in funding for insurance companies to the American people. “I am recommending to Senate Republicans that the Hundreds of Billions of Dollars currently being sent to money sucking Insurance Companies in order to save the bad Healthcare provided by ObamaCare, BE SENT DIRECTLY TO THE PEOPLE SO THAT THEY CAN PURCHASE THEIR OWN, MUCH BETTER, HEALTHCARE, and have money left over,” he posted to Truth Social. “In other words,…
Emboldened by Tuesday’s encouraging election results, veteran political strategist James Carville said he would “bet money” that Democrats will not only win the presidency in 2028, but then proceed to pack the Supreme Court to ensure permanent one party rule. While taking questions during Thursday’s installment of he and co-host Al Hunt’s “Politics War Room,” one listener asked how the Biden Administration could have prepared for “the possibility of Trump winning a second term.” While Hunt argued in favor of new legislation and guardrails, Carville gleefully predicted that the next Democrat president will fundamentally redefine American government. “I’m going to…
Paramount has reportedly created an internal “blacklist” of actors and actresses the studio prefers to avoid because of views deemed problematic, including rhetoric interpreted as “overtly antisemitic,” “xenophobic,” or “homophobic.” According to Variety, a number of studio executives have flagged talent who have made public statements on issues such as the war in Gaza or support for former President Donald Trump. Paramount previously drew attention in September when it publicly condemned a letter signed by many A-list celebrities that called for a boycott of Israeli film institutions. In its statement, the studio said it condemned “silencing individual creative artists based on…
Oregon election officials announced that they will not pursue criminal investigations against the dozens of non-citizens who illegally cast ballots in elections in recent years after they were unlawfully registered to vote due to a DMV clerical error. According to a statement from the Oregon Secretary of State, the decision rests on the fact that the non-citizens allegedly did not knowingly violate election laws or were either eligible to vote at the time they did. “The Secretary of State’s Office will not refer anyone for criminal prosecution because the DMV mistakenly registered them to vote,” the statement reads. “A clerical error at…
Texas voters have overwhelmingly approved a constitutional amendment that explicitly bans non-U.S. citizens from voting in state elections. The proposal, linked to Senate Joint Resolution 37, passed with nearly 72 percent support, according to unofficial results. The measure adds language to the state constitution stating that “persons who are not citizens of the United States” are among those prohibited from voting in Texas elections. Texas law already requires U.S. citizenship to register to vote, and federal law bars non-citizens from voting in federal contests, including presidential and congressional races. However, supporters of the amendment said the change ensures the restriction is permanently enshrined in the state’s highest legal…
