Whether working full time for themselves or part time as contractors‚ picking up occasional gig work or having a side hustle‚ an estimated 64 million Americans performed some sort of independent work in 2023. These aren’t just accountants or Uber drivers. They’re IT consultants‚ makeup artists‚ musicians‚ interpreters‚ fitness instructors‚ copy editors‚ and truck drivers. But now‚ their ability to be their own boss is in jeopardy. A Department of Labor rule scheduled to take effect March 11 would significantly restrict the right to work as an independent contractor instead of being treated as an employee. Proponents of the rule argue that workers who aren’t formal employees won’t be protected by labor laws regulating things such as minimum wages‚ work hours‚ and unemployment insurance. They assume the regulation simply will shift contractors to employee status without significant changes in their work or lifestyles. But California shows it doesn’t work that way. The Golden State passed a similar law‚ AB 5‚ significantly restricting independent contracting. It took effect in January 2020 and has proved so unpopular and damaging that the state now has exempted more than 100 professions from the law and voters overturned its application to ridesharing and delivery services via a statewide referendum. Yet even the watered-down restrictions are wreaking havoc among workers in California. The group Freelancers Against AB 5 compiled a list of more than 600 professions that have been negatively affected by independent contracting restrictions. Americans for Tax Reform documents more than 600 personal testimonials of workers who’ve been harmed. Karen Anderson‚ the founder of Freelancers Against AB 5‚ testified to federal lawmakers about children’s theaters and nonprofit youth sports clubs closing their doors; sign language interpreters unable to provide services to the deaf mandated by the Americans With Disabilities Act; and professionals having to move out of state to maintain their livelihoods. One Californian hurt by AB 5 is Monica Wyman‚ a stay-at-home mom who started her own floral business in 2009. She hired friends—fellow moms who wanted flexible work—as contractors for events such as weddings. After AB 5‚ Wyman was unable to hire contract help‚ including people to fill in for her when she was battling cancer.  “I don’t even have words to explain how bad this has been for our family‚” Wyman said. “I’m at this crossroads where I’m thinking I’m going to have to dissolve my business and close my doors.” Evidence of AB 5’s harmful effects isn’t just anecdotal. New research by a group of economists at the Mercatus Center shows California’s independent contracting restrictions are significantly damaging California’s workforce. Their analysis found that AB 5 reduced self-employment by 10.5% in California. Despite the law’s intent to push more people into traditional employment‚ AB 5 led to a 4.4% drop in overall employment. Job losses were most severe—a 27.9% drop in self-employment—among professions in which self-employment is more common. The Biden administration’s independent contractor rule is likely to have similar effects‚ devastating self-employment and cutting overall employment as well. The nation can’t afford that.  Employment is already 2.6 million lower than it would be if the employment-to-population ratio were the same as it was prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. Even weaker employment would diminish economic growth and compound America’s precarious fiscal situation. Why does this rule eliminate so many jobs? Because being an employee—including a prescribed schedule and reporting to a boss—isn’t possible for everyone. The study “Freelancing in America” reports that more than half of independent workers surveyed say they can’t work for a traditional employer because of their caregiving duties or their personal health conditions. Moreover‚ even independent workers who can work as employees are likely to be worse off because they overwhelmingly choose independent work over traditional employment. Independent workers say it provides better work-life balance‚ the same or higher income‚ and flexibility that leads to less stress and better health. In fact‚ nearly half of independent workers say that no amount of money would cause them to go back to traditional employment. Congress should protect independent workers and provide much needed clarity on the issue by passing a law‚ such as the 21st Century Worker Act‚ which establishes a bright-line test‚ consistent across all federal laws‚ to determine who is an “employee” and who is an “independent contractor.” Instead of trying to “protect” workers by pushing them into employment terms they don’t want or can’t perform‚ policymakers should protect workers’ rights to pursue the type of work and compensation that is best for them.

A second Trump administration would benefit the environment. There’s no better proof of that than Friday’s decision by the Biden administration to stop future exports of liquefied natural gas‚ pending a future study by the Department of Energy. As justification for the cutoff‚ Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm described the importance of “protecting Americans against climate change and winning the clean energy future.” Halting American exports of natural gas would result in greater worldwide use of coal‚ thereby increasing global CO2 emissions. Europe has already been turning to coal to deal with energy shortages in the aftermath of Russia’s cutoff of natural gas. Those concerned about carbon emissions should be fighting to reduce global emissions‚ which means avoiding the use of coal‚ where possible. Equally important‚ Biden’s ban on new gas exports would benefit America’s enemies. Because prices are set on the basis of future production‚ Biden’s action is bound to raise the prices of Russian and Qatari gas‚ bringing huge windfalls to hostile regimes. The export ban also benefits China‚ which is no friend of the environment. Over the past 16 years‚ U.S. emissions of CO2 have declined by a billion metric tons as natural gas has been increasingly substituted for coal use in the generation of electricity. Over the same period‚ CO2 emissions in China have risen by 5 billion metric tons. The stoppage also hurts our allies. First and foremost is Europe‚ which has been importing more and more American natural gas since 2022‚ when Russia cut off its supplies of natural gas. According to the Energy Information Agency‚ America exported an average of 11.6 billion cubic feet of natural gas per day in the first half of 2023‚ more than any other country. Europe was our biggest customer last year. Pausing exports will leave our allies there stuck between a rock and a hard place. The same is true in Asia‚ which was the top destination for America’s natural gas exports in 2021. India‚ South Korea‚ Japan‚ and other U.S. allies all want to reduce emissions and make greater of use of natural gas. Cutting them off now will force them back to coal‚ which produces more emissions than natural gas‚ and is a commodity China can more readily provide. In short‚ Biden is doing everything he can to reduce U.S. production of natural gas. Reversing this policy‚ as Trump proposes‚ would reduce emissions overseas and at home. On his first day in office‚ through executive order‚ Biden restricted offshore drilling‚ expanded the boundaries of national monuments‚ and halted construction of the Keystone XL pipeline. He views fossil fuels as transitional‚ and as he indicated in his 2023 State of the Union address‚ he believes that fossil fuels would not be needed for much longer. Even if Biden were right—and he’s not—it wouldn’t meaningfully help the environment. Indeed‚ if America stopped all use of fossil fuels immediately‚ global temperatures would only decline by two-tenths of one degree Celsius by the year 2100‚ according to government models. This is because China‚ India‚ Russia‚ Africa‚ and Latin America are ramping up their use of coal in order to reach Western standards of living. China is home to large supplies of coal‚ but little natural gas‚ and the country uses its domestic coal supplies for generating electricity to power its global manufacturing capacity. A second Trump administration would likely encourage production of natural gas and faster permitting of pipelines and LNG terminals to be able to move it from the interior of the country to ports‚ and into export terminals to be shipped to Europe and Asia. America’s natural gas production‚ currently more than 96 billion cubic feet per day‚ is greater than pre-pandemic levels‚ but production primarily takes place on private lands. It could have been even higher if Biden had not restricted leases on federal land and if pipeline approval happened faster. Trump’s energy plan includes permitting reform‚ allowing different sources of energy to compete on a level playing field‚ opening more lands to natural gas development‚ reversing Biden’s climate agenda‚ expediting nuclear technology‚ and protecting the energy grid. Unlike Biden‚ Trump would not instruct the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission‚ the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency to slow down pipeline and liquid natural gas export terminal construction in the name of a transition to renewables. The more natural gas the U.S. exports‚ the lower global emissions would be. With Trump in office‚ faster infrastructure permitting would allow natural gas to travel where it is needed. Biden’s halt of natural gas exports harms the environment and benefits America’s enemies. A second Trump term would reverse this disastrous policy.

The Biden administration confirmed that the Islamic Resistance in Iraq‚ an umbrella organization consisting of multiple Iran-backed militant groups‚ is the group that conducted an attack in Jordan that killed 3 U.S. soldiers and injured at least 40 troops. The White House has signaled plans for a multitiered response to the deadly drone attack on Jordan’s Tower 22‚ according to The Associated Press. On Monday‚ the Pentagon said the attack bore the “fingerprints” of Kataib Hezbollah‚ one of two major groups behind the attacks and a member of the Islamic Resistance‚ but that U.S. Central Command was still assessing the incident. National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby on Wednesday confirmed that the Islamic Resistance planned‚ facilitated‚ and supplied the equipment for Sunday’s deadly attack‚ according to the AP. President Joe Biden “believes that it is important to respond in an appropriate way‚” he said. While the president continues to weigh options‚ “the first thing you see won’t be the last thing‚” Kirby added. The Islamic Resistance in a statement claimed initial responsibility for the attack‚ according to The New York Times. Since the uptick in attempted strikes on bases hosting U.S. personnel in Iraq and Syria began on Oct. 17‚ this was the first strike that resulted in fatalities among U.S. troops. On Tuesday‚ as rumblings of a sweeping U.S. response grew‚ Kataib Hezbollah said it would suspend military and security activities aimed at U.S. troops‚ Reuters reported. The administration quickly dismissed the claim. “Actions speak louder than words‚” Pentagon press secretary Maj. Gen. Pat Ryder said Tuesday. “They’re not the only group that has been attacking us‚” Kirby said Wednesday. The administration has said it holds Iran accountable for the attacks on U.S. troops‚ although Iran has denied any association with the attack. However‚ Tehran funds the groups and provides it with weapons and training. Officials insist the U.S. does not want a war with Iran but will take the necessary steps to protect U.S. forces. Tehran on Wednesday threatened to “decisively respond” to any attack that might take place on Iranian soil‚ the AP reported. The loss of Sgt. William J. Rivers‚ Spc. Breonna A. Moffett and Spc. Kennedy L. Sanders has left an indelible mark on the Army Reserve.

In October‚ the powerful militant group had threatened to attack U.S. military bases with missiles‚ special forces‚ and drones if the U.S. intervened militarily in support of Israel‚ Reuters reported. “These evil people must leave the country‚ otherwise they will taste the fire of hell in this world before the afterlife‚” the group said in an October statement‚ according to Reuters.

Argentina actually elected a libertarian president. Javier Milei campaigned with a chain saw‚ promising to cut the size of government. Argentina’s leftists had so clogged the country’s economic arteries with regulations that what once was one of the world’s richest countries is now one of the poorest. Inflation is more than 200%. People save their whole lives—and then find their savings worth nearly nothing. They got so fed up‚ they did something never done before in modern history: They elected a full-throated libertarian. Milei understands that government can’t create wealth. He surprised diplomats at the World Economic Forum this month by saying‚ “The state is the problem!” He spoke up for capitalism: “Do not be intimidated by the political caste or by parasites who live off the state. … If you make money‚ it’s because you offer a better product at a better price‚ thereby contributing to general well-being. Do not surrender to the advance of the state. The state is not the solution.” Go‚ Milei! I wish current American politicians talked that way. In the West‚ young people turn socialist. In Argentina‚ they live under socialist policies. They voted for Milei. Sixty-nine percent of voters under 25 voted for him. That helped him win by a whopping 3 million votes. He won promising to reverse “decades of decadence.” He told the Economic Forum‚ “If measures are adopted that hinder the free functioning of markets‚ competition‚ price systems‚ trade‚ and ownership of private property‚ the only possible fate is poverty.” Right. Poor countries demonstrate that again and again. The media say Milei will never pass his reforms‚ and leftists may yet stop him. But already‚ “he was able to repeal rent controls‚ price controls‚” says economist Daniel Di Martino in my new video. He points out that Milei already “eliminated all restrictions on exports and imports‚ all with one sign of a pen.” “He can just do that without Congress?” I ask. “The president of Argentina has a lot more power than the president of the United States.” Milei also loosened rules limiting where airlines can fly. “Now (some) airfares are cheaper than bus fares!” says Di Martino. He scrapped laws that say‚ “Buy in Argentina.” I point out that America has “Buy America” rules. “It only makes poor people poorer because it increases costs!” Di Martino replies. “Why shouldn’t Argentinians be able to buy Brazilian pencils or Chilean grapes?” “To support Argentina‚” I push back. “Guess what?” says Di Martino‚ “Not every country is able to produce everything at the lowest cost. Imagine if you had to produce bananas in America.” Argentina’s leftist governments tried to control pretty much everything. “The regulations were such that everything not explicitly legal was illegal‚” laughs Di Martino. “Now … everything not illegal is legal.” One government agency Milei demoted was a “Department for Women‚ Gender‚ and Diversity.” Di Martino says that reminds him of Venezuela’s Vice Ministry for Supreme Social Happiness. “These agencies exist just so government officials can hire their cronies.” Cutting government jobs and subsidies for interest groups is risky for vote-seeking politicians. There are often riots in countries when politicians cut subsidies. Sometimes politicians get voted out. Or jailed. “What’s incredible about Milei‚” notes Di Martino‚ “is that he was able to win on the promise of cutting subsidies.” That is remarkable. Why would Argentinians vote for cuts? “Argentinians are fed up with the status quo‚” replies Di Martino. Milei is an economist. He named his dogs after Milton Friedman‚ Murray Rothbard‚ and Robert Lucas‚ all libertarian economists. I point out that most Americans don’t know who those men were. “The fact that he’s naming his dogs after these famous economists‚” replies Di Martino‚ “shows that he’s really a nerd. It’s a good thing to have an economics nerd president of a country.” “What can Americans learn from Argentina?” “Keep America prosperous. So we never are in the spot of Argentina in the first place. That requires free markets.” Yes. Actually‚ free markets plus rule of law. When people have those things‚ prosperity happens. It’s good that once again‚ a country may try it.

Hate Crime Charges for Attack on Satanic Temple Altar

Yeah‚ this is one of those stories again. Cassidy Kraus married her husband Zachary Krauss back in July of 2023. Just a month later they got divorced after evidence of Mrs. Kraus sexual escapades with her 13-year-old students emerged. Now she's pled guilty and could face 33 years in prison. Kraus was a teacher at the IKM Manning School in Manning Iowa. On Monday she pled guilty to “one count of third-degree sexual abuse‚ two counts of lascivious acts with a child and three counts of dissemination and exhibition of obscene materials to minors‚” the court document indicated.  Between 2022 and 2023‚ Kraus “knowingly disseminat[ed] obscene material‚” likely nude images‚ to three different boys between the ages of 13 and 14 years old. To make matters worse‚ Kraus was accused of “fondling or touching” one of the boys back in May of 2022. She’s also in trouble for cthe “touching of the person’s genitals to any part of the body of the child‚” Law &; Crime reported. She also performed other “sexual acts” on one of the boys. As a teacher‚ Kraus had to be certified as a “mandated reporter of child abuse‚” yet she was the one conducting the abuse! When all this started to surface back in August‚ Kraus tenured her resignation‚ likely since she knew she’d be fired‚ and a few days later‚ the IKM-Manning School Board approved her resignation.  Kraus has a sentencing date set for March 11. She faces up to 10-years in prison each for the sexual abuse count and the two counts of lascivious acts. For the counts of dissemination and exhibition of obscene materials‚ Kraus fases up to one year in prison meaning that in total‚ she could face a maximum of 33 years in prison. These situations where teachers are having sexual relationships with their students has become way too popular these last couple of months and it’s probably because sex is so celebrated in schools and honestly everywhere. When we cultivate a culture that treats kids as pawns in a machine and dehumanizes them‚ we’re opening the door for predators like Kraus to act as she did.

A federal commissioner schooled Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban for his week-long disastrous attempt to defend using Diversity‚ Equity and Inclusion (DEI) in hiring practices.  After Cuban admitted that “race and gender can be part of the equation” in his hiring choices‚ Commissioner Andrea R. Lucas of the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) responded in a post on X. Lucas reminded Cuban that racial discrimination is‚ in fact‚ illegal. Unfortunately you’re dead wrong on black-letter Title VII law‚” she said‚ addressing the bloviating billionaire. “As a general rule‚ race/sex can’t even be a ‘motivating factor’—nor a plus factor‚ tie-breaker‚ or tipping point. It’s important employers understand the ground rules here.” @mcuban‚ EEOC Commissioner here. Unfortunately you’re dead wrong on black-letter Title VII law. As a general rule‚ race/sex can’t even be a “motivating factor”—nor a plus factor‚ tie-breaker‚ or tipping point. It’s important employers understand the ground rules here. — Andrea R. Lucas (@andrealucasEEOC) January 29‚ 2024 Lucas followed up her criticism of Cuban during an interview with Fox Business during which she made clear that Cuban’s ramblings had no basis in law. “Mr. Cuban is conflating the idea that someone’s race and sex can be part of the complete package‚ but that’s not provided for under the law‚” she said. “And if he’s using it as a factor even if it’s not the only factor or the dispositive factor‚ if it’s any part of the decision‚ it’s a motivating factor‚ and that’s illegal.” The EEOC Commissioner also sat down for a Jan. 31 interview‚ telling Fox News Digital that‚ contrary to Cuban’s claims‚ “There's no good form of race discrimination.” X Owner Elon Musk‚ who has also tangled with Cuban on DEI discrimination‚ recently referred to DEI as “discrimination on the basis of race‚ sex and sexual orientation‚” “against merit” and “fundamentally anti-Semitic‚” during a discussion at Auschwitz with The Daily Wire editor emeritus Ben Shapiro.  Conservatives are under attack!
