TAKEN: California Took Away a Widow’s Teenage Daughter to Transition Her 

FIRST ON THE DAILY SIGNAL—A mother in California lost her daughter to the foster care system in 2016 after she wouldn’t support the then-14-year-old girl identifying as a boy.  “I lost my husband, but this was worse than losing my husband, because I had my rights taken away,” the mother told The Daily Signal.

How Trump Can Win on Energy: Zero Energy Poverty

Kamala Harris and her new running mate, Tim Walz, will impoverish America. That’s the best way to understand one of their most important—yet least-known—policy pipe dreams. As vice president, Harris has backed so-called net zero, which means offsetting every iota of manmade greenhouse gases.

Not only is it unachievable, but ramping up unreliable and costly energy sources like wind and solar while eliminating reliable and affordable options…

Fourth Circuit Decision Sets Up Next Potential 2A Showdown at Supreme Court

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit upheld Maryland’s ban on so-called “assault weapons” earlier this month, likely setting the stage for the next major Second Amendment showdown at the Supreme Court. The case, Bianchi v. Brown, features Maryland residents who challenge the constitutionality of a 2013 state law that generally prohibits them from buying or possessing any firearm deemed an “assault weapon.” The statute defines that term to include hundreds of specific models of semiautomatic rifles, as well as any other semiautomatic rifle that either (1) has…
