Would you rather have your home be at risk for a Chernobyl-style catastrophe? Or would you rather have your home near Grok? That question was effectively at the heart of a new Gallup Poll -- and it appears Americans are overwhelmingly in favor of the former. In a pair of...

One of the more peculiar topics in current American politics actually emanates from sleepy little Maine. The Pine Tree State, like all 49 of its peers, is getting ready for what should be a raucous and hotly contested November midterm election. And in one Senate race in the state, one...

But there are some major downsides, too. Chiefly, it's the manner in which suspicion is immediately cast on any public figure who...

Sixteen years ago, California voters passed Proposition 14, the “top-two” primary, with 54 percent of the vote. The theory was democratic moderation. The machine -- both parties, initially -- hated it. Now that it threatens to produce two Republicans in the November gubernatorial runoff, Democrats have suddenly rediscovered the same...

Tuesday's Republican primary results prove President Donald Trump still runs the show. Most notably, farmer and retired Navy SEAL Ed Gallrein ousted Kentucky Republican Rep. Thomas Massie in that state's primary for its 4th Congressional District, but that wasn't a one-off. As Newsweek noted, a host of Trump-backed candidates were...
