Facebook Reboots Jobs: A Local Hiring Push from Meta Meta wants you to find your next gig on Facebook. The company has quietly reintroduced job listings inside the app, this time steering them toward local entry-level, service and trade roles. It’s a comeback: the platform first tried jobs in 2017 and stopped the formal program less than five years later. Meta routinely bolts new features onto its services, and this relaunch fits that playbook while aiming at neighborhood hiring. Where LinkedIn is built for resumes and long-term careers, this version looks designed for quick hires and walk-in shifts. That emphasis…

Christopher Columbus Belongs to All Americans “Let those who are accustomed to finding fault and censuring ask, while they sit in security at home, ‘Why did you not do so and so under such circumstances?’ I wish they now had this voyage to make. I verily believe that another journey of another kind awaits them, or our faith is nothing.” So wrote Christopher Columbus of his contemporary critics, demonstrating his humor, diplomacy, and faith. All three were instrumental in his tumultuous career as an explorer and colonial governor. When Columbus refused to let Spanish settlers enslave the native people of…

Speaker Johnson tries to rein in MTG following lawmaker’s criticism of GOP on healthcare costs House Speaker Mike Johnson stepped into a rising intra-party fight after Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene publicly blasted the GOP over healthcare costs and looming Obamacare subsidy expirations. He says he reached out by phone to calm tensions and move the debate into negotiations instead of headline wars. The timing matters because subsidies could lapse at year end while parts of the government remain closed. Johnson framed the call as constructive and explicitly offered Greene a way to shape policy rather than simply criticize it from…

The case ignited headlines and fierce debate about immigration enforcement and child custody. DHS says it has evidence that explains why federal agents got involved. The boy’s mother told reporters she had no idea why local police took him. She said she went to the Everett Police Department, only to be told ICE had him and he was being moved to a…

Oregon’s current budget pours more into a taxpayer-funded health plan for immigrants regardless of legal status than it does into the Oregon State Police, leaving a gap of roughly $500 million or more, state budget documents show. The contrast covers the 2025–27 biennium and exposes a clear policy choice about priorities. /* /10519169/dailycaller_incontent_1 */ const observer = new MutationObserver((mutations) => { const adDivToHide = document.querySelector(“#dailycaller_incontent_1”); if (adDivToHide && dc_noads_page) { adDivToHide.classList.add(“hide-premium”, “hide-free”); observer.disconnect(); console.log(“Ad div found and hidden”); } }); observer.observe(document.body, { childList: true, subtree: true }); Official estimates put combined state and federal spending on the Healthier Oregon Program,…

Trump Considers Call to Putin Over Tomahawk Missiles President Trump is weighing a direct phone call to Vladimir Putin about a possible transfer of Tomahawk cruise missiles, a move meant to cool tensions before any sale is finalized. The idea, from a Republican perspective, is to pair a firm defense posture with a final chance for Moscow to step back and avoid miscalculation. Tomahawk missiles are long-range, precision cruise missiles launched from ships and submarines and used to strike high-value targets. Their range and accuracy shift operational options and regional deterrence calculations when they appear in a new theater. Any…

Former LA Schools Chief Launches Bid To Unseat Karen Bass Austin Beutner, the one-time head of Los Angeles Unified, announced Monday he will challenge Mayor Karen Bass in the 2026 race. He frames his campaign as a practical response to what he calls a city that needs fixing, not another ideological fight. The announcement landed as many voters are still fed up with rising costs and street disorder. Beutner, a 65-year-old former investment banker, said in a posted to X that Los Angeles “is adrift.” He also claimed that “after seventeen years in public life,” he has learned how to…

Newsom Signs SB 518, Creating a State Bureau for Descendants of American Slavery California Gov. Gavin Newsom has signed SB 518, establishing a state agency to design programs for descendants of slavery. This move turns political rhetoric into a standing government office with a mandate to explore reparative measures, and it comes with all the risks that bureaucracies bring. The full bill text is publicly available and spells out how the bureau could expand if the Legislature chooses to fund it. SB 518 specifically tasks the new agency with finding ways to provide reparations to descendants of slaves. Gavin Newsom…

However, as of Monday officials have not announced when he was found or…

Reclaiming the Warrior: Why Male-Only Military Academies Matter The Supreme Court’s decision in United States v. Virginia reshaped VMI and, by extension, the idea of military academies built for combat leadership. That ruling pushed sex integration into institutions that once prioritized a singular martial purpose. If we care about battlefield performance, we have to reckon with how those changes altered officer formation. Red-state governors can act. They can build new, accredited academies with ROTC links that preserve an uncompromised warrior ethos. This isn’t nostalgia; it’s a practical move to restore disciplined officer pipelines. A properly designed school would offer a…
