A Puerto Rican who lived in New York for years and then moved back to the U.S. island territory has his Social Security income cancelled, and gets forced to pay back $28,000. The Supreme Court (8-1) agrees with the government, saying if you don't have to pay all the federal taxes, you don't necessarily get all the benefits. But Associate Justice Sonia Sotomayor dissents, claiming that if the amount of tax contribution is the qualifier, perhaps poor stateside Americans (or poor states) should lose benefits as well. Are you next on the chopping block?

Are You Next? Supreme Court Takes Federal Social Security Income Away from Puerto Ricans

RFK Jr. is making waves as a candidate in the current presidential race, first as a Democrat and now as an Independent. Born into the Kennedy dynasty, his early life was marked by personal and family tragedies, including the assassinations of his uncle, President John F. Kennedy, and his father, Senator Robert F. Kennedy. His resilience is evident in his battles with addiction, giving way to a career as a lawyer and activist for the environment, Indigenous land rights, and public health. Today, we delve into RFK Jr.’s vision for America and hope for the Democratic party, discussing a range of topics from chronic disease, AI, culture and entitlements, to foreign policy and his position on abortion. Join us as we explore these critical issues with Robert F. Kennedy Jr., seeking insights into his campaign and what it represents for the future of American politics.

Is He The Last Real Democrat? | Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

Confusing the FAR SIDE of the moon with the DARK SIDE of the moon is the most elementary mistake a Junior Space Cadet can make: primarily because there is NO SUCH THING as ‘the Dark Side of the Moon.’ However, NASA administrator Bill Nelson recently made this fundamental mistake, and a few moments later, elaborated on why NASA has no plans to explore the Dark Side of the Moon, the primary reason being that it’s dark all the time. A former Astronaut, Bill Nelson is 81 years old: just the sort of far-seeing, bleeding-edge dynamo America needs to head its space program.

China's Plan To Weaken America | Peter Schweizer

For many of us old-timers, the idea of students on cell phones in the middle of class is nearly unthinkable: PAY ATTENTION, ADDISON! It’s not surprising that when a school recently tried the idea of banning cell phones from class it caused an uproar. It IS surprising that the protests didn’t come from the students… it came from their PARENTS. Scott Ott has the details.

Bill Whittle Reveals The True Horrors of The Soviet Union

Nothing has done more damage to Millennials and Get Zers than ‘The Self-Esteem Movement:’ the insane belief that you praise someone first and do the work second. It has created two generations of young Americans who, in the main, are utterly convinced that they are amazing at everything. You can’t hope to get any better at something if you are taught from birth that you began at the top, and so Simon Cowell is not simply the mean guy on the talent-show panel: he is an avatar for a quaint but fading concept called THE TRUTH.

Why We Need More Simon Cowell

As pro-Hamas protests continue around the country, we examine just why administrators are caving to student radicals; House Republicans seek to fill in the gaps in Title VI of the Civil Rights Act; and the Federal Reserve declines to lower interest rates.

Ep. 1956 - Time To DEFUND The Universities

All people of conscience can agree that legally discriminating against someone based on their skin color is morally wrong — that’s why it’s against the law. But what about private discrimination? For example, does a 501(c)(3) have a right to distribute private donations based on race? Scott Ott has the details.
