End gambling on live sporting events now

If, after six years, a law was discovered to be encouraging domestic violence while causing people, especially the poor, to lose what little money they could put toward savings, what would be the correct next step?
I hope you would say it would be to repeal this failed law before it did any more harm.
You would be exactly right.
Unfortunately, that’s not so easy when the subject is sports gambling, something that is making more and more money each year for sports leagues, gamblers and local governments. Spend any time watching professional sports on television and you will be bombarded by the slick and clever ads promising incentives and great returns.

How close is the United States to World War III?
Much closer than you might think and, unfortunately, closer than many of the nation’s leaders think, too, apparently.
We’re not ready. Not militarily, and certainly not as regular people going about our lives, immersed, as some are, in petty day-to-day concerns.
That’s the assessment of the Commission on the National Defense Strategy, a bipartisan group Congress assigned to analyze President Biden’s National Defense Strategy.

Are American businesses greedy?
That has been the Democrat’s line ever since it became apparent that Americans blamed the Biden administration for inflation. “Greedflation” is the word invented for this purpose. Stop the greedy ones. Kamala Harris has promised to address high prices on her first day in office, if she is elected.

If you worry about election integrity — or, at least, about specious claims of rigged elections and the real threat of social unrest — you ought to be scared to death by what a federal judge did on Thursday.
District Judge Jia Cobb in Washington essentially legalized gambling on congressional elections.

Trump-Harris debate: why no talk about the national debt?

Did you notice what was missing from the Donald Trump-Kamala Harris debate Tuesday night?
It wasn’t the consumption of household pets. Not the accusation that the other candidate is a Marxist. Not the love letters to North Korea’s dictator Kim Jong Un. Not even the promise to end all wars in a single day. All of those were covered.
No, it was the $35 trillion elephant trying to hide in the corner of the room. As my old scout master would say to the candidates, “If it had been a snake, it would have bitten you.”
And yet, the ballooning national debt, the one the Penn Wharton Budget Model last year predicted would reach unsustainable levels and crash the economy in about 20 years, sat completely ignored through the entire excruciating evening.

If you listen only to protesters at Columbia University, you might not know that an American citizen was brutally murdered by Hamas after spending 11 months in a captivity he earned by simply attending a concert last October.
More than just being held captive, he underwent what must have been horrific pain.
A video exists, apparently, of Hersh Goldberg-Polin’s capture, right after his left arm was shattered during the merciless attack by Hamas militants on Oct. 7. The Associated Press said it shows him with “a bloodied makeshift tourniquet around his left forearm with a stump of blood and bone protruding as he was forced into a pickup truck with other young Israeli men.”
So, where’s the outrage?
