New Hampshire lawmakers are reversing a decision made in the emotional aftermath of the Parkland school shooting, advancing legislation that would prevent public colleges from banning lawful weapons on campus — a move Republicans argue restores constitutional rights unfairly stripped from young adults. On Thursday, the New Hampshire House voted 188–165 to advance House Bill 1793. The legislation would prohibit publicly funded colleges and universities from restricting the lawful possession or use of weapons, including firearms and non-lethal self-defense tools such as tasers and pepper spray. The bill will now be reviewed for any fiscal impact before moving to the Senate. The vote marks a sharp departure from 2018, when a bipartisan coalition rejected a campus carry proposal amid heightened national concern over gun violence following the massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. State Representative Sam Farrington (R–NH), who is also a current University of New Hampshire student, led the charge and framed the issue as one of equal protection and fundamental rights. Farrington argued that the right to self-defense does not disappear simply because someone steps onto a college campus. “College students are adults,” Farrington said during the debate. “They are entitled to the same protections under the law as every other citizen in New Hampshire.” New Hampshire allows both open and concealed carry without a permit, but has historically left decisions about campus weapon policies to individual institutions. The bill passed on Thursday would remove that discretion for public colleges, ensuring legality as expansive as the broader state itself. Representative Farrington rejected arguments that college students are uniquely unfit to exercise their Second Amendment rights, noting that many are already trusted with the most serious of civic responsibilities. “If we’re told students are too immature or irresponsible to carry a firearm,” he said, “how do we justify allowing them to vote — or to fight and die in foreign wars?” Democrats warned that allowing weapons on campuses would make students and faculty less safe, particularly in close quarters like dormitories and classrooms. Representative David Meuse (D–NH) argued that campus carry restrictions are location-based, not age-based, and apply equally to students, staff, and visitors. “These rules aren’t about who you are,” Meuse said. “They’re about where you are.” Republicans countered that such reasoning creates gun-free zones that leave law-abiding citizens defenseless while doing nothing to deter criminals. Farrington emphasized that self-defense is not a government-granted privilege, but a natural right. “Natural rights are not given by governments,” he said. “They are granted by God alone.” Supporters of the bill also pointed to evidence from other states. There are currently 11 states that allow campus carry, and Republicans argued that dire predictions of increased violence have not materialized. Representative Jennifer Rhodes (R-NH) dismissed claims that the policy would make campuses more dangerous, saying states that have adopted campus carry have seen no corresponding rise in violent crime. If approved by the Senate, which favors the GOP 16-8, the legislation would mark a decisive reversal from New Hampshire’s post-Parkland hesitation on campus carry, and a clear statement from Republican lawmakers that constitutional rights follow citizens wherever they lawfully go, including public college campuses.

A Super Bowl commercial that features Amazon’s Ring doorbell camera triggered tremendous backlash online, with many viewers worrying that it glorifies mass surveillance. The “Be A Hero In Your Neighborhood” ad begins with a video of a young girl reunited with her dog before jumping to a fictionalized preview of when her family pet went missing. Ring founder Jamie Siminoff explains during the ad that 10 million dogs go missing every year. The clip then cuts into a montage featuring missing dog posters stapled to telephone poles. The commercial then shows the family using “Search Party” from Ring, which “uses AI to help families find lost dogs.” “Since launch, more than a dog a day has been reunited with their family,” Siminoff continues as a neighborhood of Ring doorbell cameras scans and analyzes the dogs wandering by. “Be a hero in your neighborhood with Search Party. Available to everyone, for free, right now.” Social media users quickly noted the possible downside of all doorbell cameras being used for surveillance.  “This [Ring] camera commercial played at #SuperBowl is something out of a dystopian thriller. Who would ever install these cameras after this? CREEPY AF!” one person replied.  “Y’all, this Ring Doorbell Camera commercial was creepy as can be. They are not even hiding it anymore,” another commenter wrote. A third commenter echoed, “Ring search party is terrifying and what’s most terrifying is that we opted into this like f**king idiots.” “This is a huge problem disguised as a solution,” one of the YouTube comments says. Others pointed out how surveillance is already happening everywhere, and that users could easily opt out of the “Search Party” feature. Others dismissed the commercial as harmless. “The ring doorbell commercial about finding lost dogs is by far the best part of this entire Super Bowl. Well done Ring and Amazon,” one person wrote.  Super Bowl LX took place on Sunday, February 8, and resulted in the Seattle Seahawks dominating the New England Patriots 29-13. There was a lot of controversy over Puerto Rican singer Bad Bunny being selected to headline the halftime show despite not having any songs in English.  TPUSA announced an alternative musical performance, The All-American Halftime Show, which aired at the same time as Bad Bunny’s set. The event, headlined by Kid Rock, attracted millions of viewers who watched it live on multiple streaming platforms. 

She left an indelible mark on popular culture.

While President Donald Trump criticized Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show, Democrats celebrated it, and ridiculed Turning Point USA’s alternative performance. Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, whose stage name is Bad Bunny, made headlines at Sunday’s show by performing mostly in Spanish, celebrating his Puerto Rican heritage, and using songs with sexually explicit lyrics. President Trump said “nobody understands a word this guy is saying,” and he criticized the dancing as inappropriate for young children. Turning Point USA announced an alternate Super Bowl halftime show in October, a development growing out of conservative disgust at previous halftime shows. “When you have the most televised event for the entire year, that should be a reflection of the virtue that hopefully you want society to embody,” Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk says in a video the organization released before the show. Bad Bunny’s recent speech at the Grammys only exacerbated political divisions, when he demanded that Immigration and Customs Enforcement leave Minneapolis. “When you have the most televised event for the entire year, that should be a reflection of the virtue that hopefully you want society to embody.”That's why we've made the All-American Halftime Show.Watch tomorrow around 8PM ET. pic.twitter.com/qyBWUlamlq— Turning Point USA (@TPUSA) February 7, 2026 Democrats largely celebrated Bad Bunny’s Puerto Rican heritage, and mocked the Turning Point USA show, which featured Kid Rock.

Nearly one year on in his tenure as Health and Human Services Secretary, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is looking to provide maximum healthcare price transparency for Americans.  At a Heritage Foundation event on Monday, the secretary hinted at a new interactive website that will make health care prices transparent nationwide, which the secretary claims will create price competition and lower health care costs.   At the One Year of Making America Healthy Again event at The Heritage Foundation, Kennedy explained that Americans will be able to use the site to compare prices at all hospitals, medical centers, and concierge services in their area to choose where they want to receive the needed service.   .@SecKennedy at The Heritage Foundation celebrating a year of MAHA wins@Heritage pic.twitter.com/WEMcw9EK9A— Virginia Grace McKinnon (@virginiagmck) February 9, 2026 The Secretary said he had used the demo site himself; he looked as if he were a pregnant woman in Manhattan trying to decide where to have her baby.  “A mile around Manhattan there are 30 hospitals, and each one has a different price. The lowest price was $1,300, the highest price was $22,000 and everything in between,” he described.   Joe Gebbia, the U.S. Chief Design Officer, and “genius designers that come in from Silicon Valley,” Kennedy said, are designing the new website.   “Consumers will have a choice that will drive down the cost of health care,” Kennedy said. “We’re also making the insurance companies post what they reimburse and what the provider gets for every procedure and illness, and that is going to dramatically lower prices,” Kennedy continued.  “All of these systemic changes are ultimately, I think very quickly, drive down the cost of health care in this country and provide transparency and affordability to Americans,” he concluded.   Grateful to MAHA @WhiteHouse and @SecKennedy for letting me be part of this great movement.Here’s to a healthier future. pic.twitter.com/YcUBqyUzwx— Mike Tyson (@MikeTyson) February 9, 2026 President Donald Trump signed an executive order in 2019 mandating healthcare costs to be disclosed prior to treatment, and the Trump administration is also making price transparency and affordability a priority in his second term.  “[Trump] passed a price transparency legislation that the Biden administration almost never enforced,” Kennedy said at The Heritage Foundation. “Now we’ve changed the regulation so that every hospital is going to comply,” he continued, threatening if not the hospitals will face enormous fines.   LIVE | One Year of Making America Healthy Again https://t.co/QwposRGaRY— Heritage Foundation (@Heritage) February 9, 2026 Kennedy went on to detail how providential his role in this administration has been. “I was censored and shut down,” he recounted. “I prayed every single day, that God would put me in a place where I could fix this.”   “President Trump said to me, ‘I want to make every American the CEO of their own health,’ help them make their own, and make them intelligently, and that’s what we’re trying to do,” Kennedy concluded.   The post RFK Jr. Teases Health Care Price Transparency Website to Lower Costs   appeared first on The Daily Signal.

Karen Bass Faces Last Minute Challenge from Former Supporter

Ghislaine to Trump: Pardon Me And I'll Clear You

Last week at the Democratic Party State Convention in Syracuse, New York, Governor Kathy Hochul accepted her party's nomination to run for reelection this year, and she chose former New York City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams as her running mate. On Sunday, Hochul appeared on MS NOW's Politics Nation, where she and Host, Reverend Al Sharpton, celebrated Adam's selection, never mentioning the controversy surrounding the pick, while also attempting to portray Hochul as a moderate. Sharpton began the segment by admitting that he has a personal connection to Adams. "I want to start with your reelection race and your pick for Lieutenant Governor, former New York City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams, who I'm proud to say is a member of National Action Network." Sharpton is the Founder of NAN.  HOCHUL ..I picked the most experienced person I could find who had an in-depth knowledge of New York City like no others. And it's a hard job to be the Speaker of the City Council, with many diverse voices and competing interests. So my job is to make sure there's a Lieutenant Governor who understands the power of government to lift people up, understands how we can continue to promote our agenda, and also knows how to fight back against Donald Trump, which does seem to be an all day long exercise. Not what we asked for, but we have to stand up for New Yorkers. So she's going to be terrific. I've seen her in action for years. We've been friends a long time, and so this is going to be great for New York. Maybe not. What both the Governor and Sharpton failed to mention was what some of the reaction has been to the selection of Adams. As noted in the link to the New York Post story above, "But some Democrats immediately revolted against the Adams pick, with the Brooklyn Democratic Party saying it would rescind its endorsement of Hochul over the choice." How did that one get past Reverend Al? Or this line: "But some, including powerful city Dems and Jewish pols and activists, disapproved of the choice."  Why? This New York Post op-ed from early 2025, when it was rumored that Adams would run for Mayor, describes her this way: "Speaker Adams as a Mayoral contender would compete for the title of candidate most in thrall to the antisemitic far left. As Speaker, she has shown her willingness to use her office to condemn Jews — and her unwillingness to safeguard them." The Post piece went on to report, "As speaker, Adams backed controversial measures to ban solitary confinement at Rikers Island jail complex and to require NYPD cops to report on all low-level stops that critics said would drown officers in paperwork...She also pushed for a housing voucher program to be implemented that has helped contribute to the city’s $12 billion budget gap.." No big deal I guess, since none of this was mentioned.  Sharpton then turned to Hochul's politics, calling her "a self-described moderate." A most generous self-description, especially since she had ripped President Trump earlier. So nice of Sharpton to repeat it. Hochul gave a brief summary of her political history, and claimed, "I have to represent everybody. And so I, I'm not going to be defined by a label... And I'm going to make sure that we have, a city and a state that can thrive and help our families. And as I've said, your family is my fight. That's personal, as the first mom Governor and actually the first grandma Governor. So I don't think it matters what we call each other. All I know is coming out of the convention, people have said they've never seen our state party more unified." Of course Sharpton didn't challenge that claim. Hochul probably could have said almost anything, and Sharpton would have proceeded to the next question. It's liberal media protocol.

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell loves singer Bad Bunny, the league declared on social media Sunday following the notorious Latino singer’s divisive halftime performance in Spanish disenfranchising English-speaking fans during Sunday's Super Bowl. “Commish [heart emoji] Benito,” the NFL captioned a video it posted on X.com of Goodell and Benito Bad Bunny hugging and smiling. While Bad Bunny is known for kissing other men, the two stopped at hugs during their on-camera embrace on Sunday. Likewise, Bad Bunny is also infamous for wearing women’s clothes, such as dresses and skirts. It had been rumored that he would do so again on Sunday, but both he and Goodell restrained themselves from flouting sartorial convention on-camera at the Super Bowl that night. Bad Bunny has become a polarizing entertainer due to his anti-federal law enforcement and anti-American culture sentiments, as well as for his explicit, controversial lyrics. The choice of Bad Bunny is just the latest chapter in the NFL's ongoing descent into promotion of radical leftist ideology, at the expense of providing nonpartisan entertainment - and that hasn't been popular with its traditional fan base. Turning Point USA streamed an alternative halftime show headlined by singer Kid Rock, which a TMZ poll found was about twice as popular with viewers as Bad Bunny's performance. On social media, the NFL’s Bad Bunny offering is being deemed the league’s Bud Light, referring to how the beer label lost sales due to backlash over an ad touting transgender social media biological male Dylan Mulvaney.
