What’s the best way to protect the rights of workers? Let them determine their own job preferences, or mandate that companies provide them with certain protections? California has chosen to take the latter path. Has it worked? Is it a victory for workers, or a debilitating defeat? Patrice Onwuka of the Independent Women’s Forum looks into these questions.

Is California Going Up in Flames?
California used to be the Golden State. Now the Blackout State might be more accurate, as the fear of wildfires forces public utilities to periodically power down.

My good friend Daniel Greenfield analyses the open borders policy the Democrat/Socialist Party seek to weaponize in their cynical move to broaden their voting base.
