States end race and sex quotas in public service
Americans are generous with their time—coaching youth sports, feeding the hungry, cleaning parks, and serving their communities in countless ways. Many also volunteer on state boards and commissions, helping shape policies that affect us all. But what if your chance to serve depended not on your skills or dedication, but on your race or sex? Until recently, that was the reality in at least 25 states. It’s an injustice that’s finally being addressed.
One of those states—South Carolina—required a majority of the nine-person Commission for Minority Affairs to be African American. Created in 1993, the Commission for Minority Affairs studies socio-economic issues affecting minorities in South Carolina and implements programs necessary to address those issues, among other things.

Michigan’s auto jobs drive South from 8 Mile to I-65
Detroit put the world on wheels in the 20th century, but from 2001 to 2023, it shed more auto jobs than any other state, as factories and workers flocked to the South, according to an analysis from Michigan Capitol Confidential.
Michigan lost more than 125,000 auto jobs over the last two decades — a 41% drop — while Alabama, South Carolina, Tennessee, and other states gained tens of thousands.
Jobs sprouted in Alabama, Tennessee, South Carolina, Georgia and Kentucky.
Ford, General Motors, BMW, Mercedes, Nissan, Honda, Toyota, Subaru, Hyundai, and Kia have all built factories in Southern states rather than in Michigan since the 1990’s. Click here to read more.
UK Hotel Migrants Accused of Hundreds of Crimes, Including Rape and Sex Assault
Investigation uncovers over 700 crimes allegedly committed by illegal immigrants living at taxpayer expense in hotels over the past three years.
Although the UK government continues to refuse to publish crime stats based on immigration, as is done in other Western nations such as Denmark, a report from the Mail on Sunday has given a glimpse into the criminality linked with the move to put up illegal migrants in hotels across the country by the previous Tory government and continued by Sir Keir Starmer’s Labour Party.
According to the paper, which examined local court records in conjunction with the addresses of 70 migrant hotels listed for defendants, it was found that at least 312 asylum seekers have allegedly committed 708 crimes over the past three years, including rape, sexual assault, theft and attacks on emergency service workers.

710k Illinoisans avoid work advancement to keep welfare benefits
An estimated 710,000 Illinoisans have intentionally hurt their personal finances to avoid losing a welfare benefit, according to a new study.
A new report by the Center for Social Development at Washington University in St. Louis shows nearly 1-in-4 welfare recipients has taken at least one negative action to avoid losing benefits, such as turning down raises or promotions, working fewer hours, declining job offers and refusing to build savings. With 3.2 million Illinoisians living at or below 200% of the federal poverty level, that translates to at least 710,000 people in Illinois intentionally holding themselves back.
Social welfare programs are supposed to support families during times of need. Instead, they punish people in Illinois and across America as they work their way back to independence by removing health care, food and other benefits – a dynamic known as a “benefit cliff.” Research shows these cliffs are not only real, but that they affect a sizable number of Illinoisans.

Why American Energy Dominance Is a Strategic Imperative
The Trump administration’s energy dominance agenda is not merely an economic policy but a strategic doctrine. Its objectives are clear: 1) to ensure energy independence through the use of domestic fossil fuels and nuclear power; 2) to influence global energy prices; 3) to provide affordable, reliable energy to Americans and our allies; and 4) to reduce dependence on China’s green energy supply chains. These goals reflect a realist approach to energy policy, grounded in national interest and global leverage.
This marks a sharp departure from the Biden administration’s climate-centric energy strategy. In the name of decarbonization, President Biden restricted oil and gas development on federal lands and imposed sweeping regulations across federal agencies to discourage fossil fuel production and infrastructure. The result was higher energy costs for American households and businesses, with negligible effects on global temperatures either now or projected for the end of the 21st century.
