Which, since this is California we’re talking about, unsurprisingly involves taxes. Not technically raising taxes, but rather making permanent a tax increase approved by voters in 2012.]]>Sun, 25 Oct 2026 02:10:00 -0400<![CDATA[Jerry Wilson]]>https://redstate.com/jerrywilson/2026/10/25/in-shocking-or-not-development-california-asks-voters-to-make-temporary-tax-increase-permanent-n2208589<![CDATA[Elon Musk is not mincing words over a dispute involving Starlink's activities in Ukraine.&nbsp;]]>Sat, 24 Oct 2026 21:05:30 -0400<![CDATA[Kyle Becker]]>https://redstate.com/kyle-becker/2026/10/24/may-you-burn-in-hell-elon-musk-fires-back-at-evil-warmongers-targeting-him-in-fake-controversy-n2208586<![CDATA[The Democrats seem to be going all out in the final weeks of the 2026 midterms, especially in the state of Ohio.

In the case of black bears, most of the time the old saw about "they're more afraid of you than you are of them" applies, and the bear swaps ends and flees. Grizzlies are a little different, as they aren't really afraid of anything, but they are generally cautious around humans.&nbsp;]]>Sat, 24 Oct 2026 16:44:18 -0400<![CDATA[Ward Clark]]>https://redstate.com/wardclark/2026/10/24/bear-attacks-surge-in-2026-new-public-database-reveals-64-cases-n2208577<![CDATA[The Trump administration has just made some big moves for the American seafood and meat industry - and the American people.&nbsp;]]>Sat, 24 Oct 2026 16:13:00 -0400<![CDATA[Nick Arama]]>https://redstate.com/nick-arama/2026/10/24/trump-helps-american-seafood-and-meat-industry-n2208573<![CDATA[To realize long-term economic success and prosperity, any nation has to be a nation that makes things. And, in the process of making things, ranging from watches to ships, there's one vital material that no economy can do without: Steel. Steel is at the heart of modern manufacturing. Steel can be reused, reforged, reclaimed, and recycled, but a growing economy will always need more steel. The U.S. was once a world leader in the production of high-quality steel, and we're ramping up American steel production again; this time, it's U.S. Steel, which just announced a nearly $3 billion investment in a new hot strip mill in its existing plant, the Mon Valley Works — Edgar Thomson Plant in Braddock, Pennsylvania, near Pittsburgh.]]>Sat, 24 Oct 2026 15:55:42 -0400<![CDATA[Ward Clark]]>https://redstate.com/wardclark/2026/10/24/winning-us-steel-approves-nearly-3b-hot-strip-mill-near-pittsburgh-n2208576<![CDATA[UPDATE: On Saturday afternoon, President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump made new remarks about the ceasefire.]]>Sat, 24 Oct 2026 15:50:00 -0400<![CDATA[Becca Lower]]>https://redstate.com/beccalower/2026/10/24/yes-melania-trump-did-broker-a-peace-pact-between-russia-and-ukraine-its-just-first-step-n2208574<![CDATA[For some time now, the country has had a shortage of trained nurses. A nurse at any level, from a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) to a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) or a Registered Nurse (RN) can find a job anywhere in the country — but there aren't enough nurses to fill the need. More advanced nurses, like Nurse-Practitioners (NP) are increasingly taking over some of the work traditionally done by doctors, which has some effect in lowering healthcare costs but also places more strain in the country's supply of nursing staff. Nowhere is this felt more keenly than in the nation's nursing homes.]]>Sat, 24 Oct 2026 15:12:09 -0400<![CDATA[Ward Clark]]>https://redstate.com/wardclark/2026/10/24/trump-announces-275m-nursing-home-nurse-training-initiative-in-florida-n2208575<![CDATA[President Donald Trump had an interesting dinner a couple of weeks ago with Bill Maher, Stephen A.

For years, in the Alaska town of Talkeetna, a regular fixture on that small touristy town's main drag was the halibut taco cart. The halibut were cooked using a propane tank under the cart — until the tank exploded, breaking windows and causing damage all up and down the street. Fortunately no one was seriously hurt. But if it's a halibut taco you want now in Talkeetna, you're out of luck.]]>Sat, 24 Oct 2026 12:49:04 -0400<![CDATA[Ward Clark]]>https://redstate.com/wardclark/2026/10/24/denver-struggles-with-exploding-hot-dog-carts-theyre-the-wurst-n2208569<![CDATA[France is once again the scene of violent rioting as protesters clash with police in cities across the country.]]>Sat, 24 Oct 2026 12:09:16 -0400<![CDATA[Kyle Becker]]>https://redstate.com/kyle-becker/2026/10/24/riots-have-broken-out-in-france-again-n2208568<![CDATA[Jordan is, relatively speaking, one of the modern and tolerant nations in the Muslim-majority world, but only relatively speaking. On Friday, gunmen opened fire on a funeral service at a Greek Orthodox church in Jordan.
