Arizona Mirror , News Partner Posted By Jeremy Duda, Arizona Mirror Proposals that would have made it harder to get citizen initiatives on the ballot and harder for voters to enact them once they got there are unlikely to pass after missing key legislative deadlines. House Concurrent Resolution 2015 , which would have required that ballot measures get at least 60 percent of the vote in order to become law, rather than a simple majority, passed out of the House of Representatives and was on the agenda for Monday’s hearing of the Senate Government Committee. But Sen. Kelly Townsend, the committee’s chairwoman, scratched the measure from the agenda. Townsend told the Arizona Mirror she had concerns about the vote threshold in HCR2015.

Arizona Mirror , News Partner Posted By Gloria Gomez/UA Don Bolles Fellow, Arizona Mirror Faith-based adoption and foster care agencies in the state who make decisions based on their religious views are now free to do so without any threat of lawsuits thanks to a new law signed this week, and opponents say that could hurt foster kids across the state. The new law, which Gov. Doug Ducey signed yesterday, protects foster and adoption agencies from religious discrimination, absolving them of how they provide – or deny — services in line with their religious beliefs, and establishes the right of foster parents to use their own religion to raise children in their care. The legislation, Senate Bill 1399 , was championed by a powerful Christian anti-LGBTQ organization as a preemptive shield for … [Read more...] about New Law Shields Religious Foster, Adoption Agencies From Discrimination Lawsuits

Joe Biden became president largely by promising to Make America Normal Again. The shambolic U.S.-Mexico “border” confirms how Biden shattered that promise. There is nothing normal about the coast-to-coast disaster over which he governs, thanks largely to Biden’s deeply abnormal definition of border security. (RELATED: JENNY BETH MARTIN: Lawless Biden’s Border Chaos Wreaks Havoc On American Communities) Under Biden, the southern “border” has become a giant, open-air staging ground from which illegal aliens bludgeon U.S. territorial integrity and national sovereignty. Deroy Murdock U.S. Border Patrol agents apprehended 1,671,266 illegal aliens during President Donald J. Trump’s final 27 months in power. In Biden’s first 27 months, they encountered a breathtaking 5,249,144 illegals — up a skin-crawling 314%. In Fiscal Year 2020, the last that Trump fully controlled, 69,000 illegal migrants were detected on the “border” but got away into … [Read more...] about DEROY MURDOCK: There’s Nothing ‘Normal’ About Biden’s Border Crisis

The 19-year-old Missouri man accused of deliberately driving a rented box truck into a White House barrier allegedly told authorities that he admires Nazis and wanted to "seize power" and "kill the president," court documents released Tuesday show.
