Once again, it looks like we're headed for a messy, partisan two years. If we’ve learned anything from the 2024 election, it’s that political complacency is no longer an option. And to effect change, there is no need to look any further than your own legislative backyards. 

The outcome of the 2024 election will have wide-ranging consequences. Republicans won the Senate, giving the GOP control for at least the next two years and creating a path for President-elect Donald Trump’s priorities. But it's never too early for reelection vision time. The time to start organizing is now.

Police officers are the backbone of safety in our communities, and they deserve more than empty words or political lip service. They deserve support, respect, and political protection. And yet it seems that no political party has adequately confronted the needs of police officers, despite their essential role in ensuring community safety. 

The PA has a payout system they call the "Martyrs Fund," although most critics call it "Pay to Slay." These martyr payments are very popular among Palestinians—support for the payments among Palestinians is as high as 91%. The compensation for violence and terror against Jews has been described as part of the ethos of Palestinian society and is considered sacred in Palestinian politics.

Just before October 7, 2023—before Hamas attacked Israel—Dr. Amaney Jamal, the Dean of the Princeton School of Public and International Affairs, conducted a Gaza survey in conjunction with the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research. The poll revealed that 44 percent of Gazan Palestinian youth between the ages of 18 and 28 wanted to leave, which represents one-third of the entire population of Gaza.

According to WalletHub, the top ten worst states for women's equality were "red" states, and the top ten best states for women's equality were "blue" states. Women make up approximately 50.5% of the U.S. population, and yet gender bias continues to create huge barriers for many of them.

A majority of governors have the authority to appoint state court judges, so your vote for Governor is as important as your vote for President. The 2022 elections were proof that in politics, it's never too early to start planning.

With an average of only one in five voters participating in local elections, voting results are easily swayed by just one vote. Voting in local elections has never been more critical. Know who your local officials are, and vote based on your conscience and beliefs rather than your party.

Current and future secretaries of state have two choices: Fuel doubt about future elections or defend and protect our election system. A once under-the-radar government position, races for secretaries of state have recently gained national attention. Do you know who is in control of your state elections?

The person you elect as mayor affects your day-to-day life more than the politicians you send to Washington, D.C., yet turnout is meager in mayoral races. Across the U.S., and despite their importance, only 15 to 27 percent of eligible voters cast a ballot in their local election. Vote for your mayor like it’s a matter of life and death on the streets of America’s cities because it is.  

According to the Toronto Sun, what many have suspected has now been confirmed: Pro-Palestinian protestors are being paid to protest and proudly follow their organizers’ lead. Those organizers wear uniforms to identify themselves and dole out thousands of dollars in cash in order to control and manage the protestors.  

Why do Americans keep electing leaders who are so old? Maybe it’s because voters over 65 go to the polls more often than young voters do, and voters typically prefer candidates who are closest to themselves in age.

The majority of U.S. airlines don’t pay their flight attendants until the airplane door closes, even though plane boarding is one of the most stressful parts of their job.

The U.S. population is growing more slowly, and it continues its 80-year-long trend of shifting to the South and the West. Montana, Florida, and North Carolina each saw enough growth to add one congressional seat, while booming Texas gained two. Colorado and Oregon also gained new seats, while Michigan, New York, and Pennsylvania lost seats.

Cannabis cultivation is a 24-hour business—the lights stay on, no matter what. While most businesses and residences power down at night, cannabis facilities remain active, putting pressure on energy grids, generating $6 billion in energy costs each year, and uses about 10x more power per square foot than a standard office building.
