Washington has a strange hobby: treating friendly polls like stone tablets from Mount Sinai. Then one cracks, and suddenly everyone acts shocked that numbers can lie too. According to Turley Talks, Wedgewood Polls admitted to fabricating polling data, calling it a “social experiment” meant to expose weak spots in political polling and media coverage. Turley Talks says outlets including The New York Times and MSNBC covered Wedgewood’s numbers. If that account is accurate, it i

Artificial intelligence may be the future, but a lawyer is warming up in the bullpen. According to The Epoch Times, nearly 100 lawsuits involving AI companies and copyright disputes are moving through the courts. News outlets, authors, photographers, and songwriters say AI systems were trained on their work without permission or payment. This isn't a tiny paperwork dispute. It is a fight over property rights, human labor, and whether Big Tech can vacuum up the internet like a

Socialism always arrives smiling and carrying a basket labeled "free stuff." Then, somehow, the basket gets lighter, the lines get longer, and the government starts acting like it owns the whole grocery store. That warning runs through Red Flag, a documentary from The Epoch Times featuring Cuban and Venezuelan exiles who lived through the sales pitch and the bill that came due. Alejandro Rios was 12 when his family returned to Cuba in 1962. They became trapped under communist

Source: President Donald Trump’s October 20, 2026, announcement Washington has spent decades proving one thing: taxpayer dollars can vanish faster than snacks at a committee meeting. President Donald Trump’s October 20, 2026, announcement aims to flip that script. He proposed a Fraud Whistleblower Incentive Program that would let Americans report corruption and theft of taxpayer money through a new website. If the report helps recover public money, the whistleblower could rec

A networking event should mean weak coffee, awkward small talk, and one guy explaining his podcast. According to reporting by The Epoch Times, federal prosecutions and declassified Federal Bureau of Investigation files point to a more serious problem: Beijing can use ordinary social activity as raw material for intelligence work. That should bother Washington. America’s laws were built for spies who steal files, pass cash, or hide cameras in pens. Beijing’s model can look muc

Mike Ring said the quiet part out loud before Washington put it in writing. Last week, Old Glory Bank CEO Mike Ring joined The Banker Next Door podcast to talk about debanking. Then the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the federal agency that oversees national banks, released its report on debanking. The timing was hard to miss. Like a smoke alarm going off right after someone says, “Does anybody smell smoke?” Banking should serve people, not punish their beliefs. D

Gas prices are the political poll nobody can spin. You see the number, you pay it, and then you drive away muttering things the children shouldn’t repeat. For Delaware drivers, the pump is not theory. It is a weekly reminder that Washington promises often arrive with confetti, while results show up in smaller, quieter places. Like the receipt from a gas station in Dover, Newark, or Seaford. The gas pump gives voters a quick lesson in kitchen-table politics. Gas prices hit fas

Delaware Gov. Matt Meyer has vetoed a bipartisan bill that would have given the General Assembly a way to check his office’s emergency powers after six months. Rep. Rich Collins (R-Millsboro) sponsored House Substitute 1 for House Bill 329, which passed both chambers of the legislature unanimously. Yes, unanimously—even in today’s political climate, lawmakers agreed that no governor should have an indefinite blank check. Meyer, however, rejected the measure at the last possib

Carl Higbie did not bring a feather duster to Wednesday’s episode of Carl Higbie FRONTLINE. He brought a flashlight, and Democrats probably preferred the curtains closed. His target was clear: Democratic policies that sound polished on paper but often leave taxpayers holding the receipt. That includes a serious issue that deserves more attention: concerns about debanking conservatives during the Biden administration. Political commentary hits differently when the grocery bill

Early voting reminds Democrats of something they never enjoy: voters, not pundits, decide elections. Turley Talks, in its report “Battleground States: Republicans Soar, Democrats Fall,” points to early-vote patterns in Georgia, Ohio, Nevada, Arizona, Florida, and Michigan that should make the blue-wave crowd put down the confetti cannon. At least for now. Early lines can reveal enthusiasm, but they do not tell the whole story. Georgia offers the first warning sign. Georgia is

Dover has a strange habit lately. It praises local communities, then grabs the steering wheel when those communities make the “wrong” turn. According to a review cited by the Delaware House Republican Caucus, at least five actions from Delaware’s 153rd General Assembly moved authority away from counties, towns, and local boards toward state officials or state-level committees. Republicans largely opposed the moves, arguing that decisions affecting residents should be made nea

Delaware taxpayers may need a garlic necklace, a wooden stake, and a close eye on Dover. Senate Bill 272 died when the session ended, but plenty of people expect it to rise again. The bill would require project labor agreements, known as PLAs, on public school construction and renovation projects costing more than $5 million. Supporters say PLAs bring stability. Critics say they raise costs, reduce bidders, and create a taxpayer headache big enough to need its own line item.

Delaware Democrats have a simple housing theory: build more homes, and prices will behave. Nice idea. So is teaching a cat to file taxes. Governor Matt Meyer’s Housing for Every Delawarean Act pushes many local governments to plan for higher housing density. It also lets qualifying developments bypass some public hearings and discretionary approvals. That may speed up construction. It also puts local control in the trunk and lets Dover drive. More building does not automatica

China can manufacture almost anything. That is impressive. But one tiny problem remains, roughly the size of a Walmart parking lot: someone has to buy the stuff. According to Turley Talks, that is where President Donald Trump sees America’s advantage. China has factories. America has the consumer market Beijing still needs. Trade power starts with who controls access to the market. China’s factory machine has a demand problem. China remains the world’s manufacturing giant. No

Delaware’s U.S. Senate race now has a date circled in red ink: Thursday, October 22. Democratic U.S. Sen. Chris Coons and Republican challenger Dr. Mike Katz will appear together at a public candidate forum in Wilmington, hosted by the Rotary Club of Wilmington. The timing is not subtle. October 22 is also the first day of early voting in Delaware. Election Day follows on Tuesday, November 3. That gives the forum the feel of a final exam with voters already sharpening their p

Ballots are not pop quizzes, but they can feel like one if you walk in cold. Election Day is November 3, and early voting begins October 22. That gives Delaware voters time to compare candidates, check endorsements, and find a polling place before the civic version of “choose wisely.” In this year’s primary election, one district was won by only 7 votes. This legislative session, several bills passed or failed on a single vote. Build my voter guide - devoterguide.com A little

Taxpayers are not an all-you-can-eat buffet. That is the basic idea behind President Donald Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill and its Medicaid changes. The fight is simple. Who should qualify for federally funded health benefits? Under Section 71109, Medicaid and CHIP eligibility would narrow. Coverage would generally focus on U.S. citizens, nationals, and lawful permanent residents. That means some legally present immigrants, including certain refugees, asylees, and parolees, could

The Justice Department is taking a closer look at admissions at UCLA Law School. The question is simple, even if the legal fight isn’t: Did race affect who got in? This is an investigation, not a guilty verdict. Nobody should be running victory laps or lighting torches in the comments section. UCLA will have a chance to respond, and investigators still have to sort facts from noise. What the Justice Department is looking at The investigation centers on claims that UCLA School

The University of Delaware students did the hard part. They got College Republicans and College Democrats to work together. In 2026 America, that deserves at least a plaque, possibly a small parade. According to Delaware LIVE and statements from student Republicans and the Katz campaign, the student groups tried to organize a U.S. Senate debate after the university’s traditional Delaware Debates program did not happen this cycle. Republican challenger Dr. Mike Katz accepted.
