Trump Crowd Goes WILD When He Proposes Blatantly Unconstitutional Prison Sentences for Flag Burners

In 2021, I was 36 years old, and I had a big year. Thanks to the income streams that grew from my blog and podcast, I started making enough passive income to quit my 9-to-5. This financial freedom made me start to think about what other goals I wanted to achieve, starting with what I wanted from my environment.

A federal judge in Texas on Monday temporarily blocked the Biden administration from granting legal status to unauthorized immigrants married to American citizens, granting a request from 16 Republican-led states who challenged the new policy.The order by District Court Judge J. Campbell Barker effectively brings to a halt a large immigration program that opened just last week to an estimated half a million immigrants living in the U.S. without legal status. While preliminary and temporary, the ruling is also an early blow to one of the two major moves taken by President Biden in June on immigration, a top campaign...

The evolving landscape of marijuana legalization has led many to believe that recreational and medicinal cannabis use is widely accepted across all professions. However, this assumption couldn’t be further from the truth. Despite the growing acceptance of marijuana in many states, several surprising industries and job roles still enforce strict no-tolerance policies when it comes to weed. Whether it’s due to federal regulations, safety concerns, or company policies, there are certain careers where cannabis use can be a significant barrier to employment.

For decades, economists and sociologists have debated the pros and cons of minimum wage increases. Generally, these debates have centered upon the economic effects of minimum wage hikes. However, according to new research, there may also be a correlation with minimum wage increases and a rise in crime.
                A study titled “The Unintended Effects of Minimum Wage Increases on Crime” from the Journal of Public Economics shows that minimum wage hike-induced job losses may account for increases in larceny arrests and overall criminal activity.

McALLEN, Texas (AP) — After President Joe Biden this summer announced a new U.S. citizenship pathway for immigrant spouses, Oscar Silva rushed to apply and was elated Monday when an email arrived confirming his appointment for a required biometric exam.  But hours later, Silva received a jolt: a federal judge in Texas was temporarily suspending the program that could benefit an estimated 500,000 immigrants in the U.S., freezing in place one of the biggest presidential actions to ease a path to citizenship in years.  “I don’t know what is going to happen,” Silva said Tuesday. The 23-year-old college student arrived in the U.S. as a baby and lives in Texas with his wife, Natalie, an American citizen who provides for their family as a high school teacher. Although the Biden administration’s “Keeping Families Together” program only began accepting applications last week, families and immigration attorneys say confusion, uncertainty and frustration is already mounting following the order by U.S. District Judge J. Campbell Barker. Couples who already applied say they are in limbo and those who haven’t yet must weigh whether to wait for Republicans’ court challenge over the program to play out.
