I built CourtWatch.us — a free public database for American citizens who deserve safer communities. You can track which judges released defendants who then got rearrested, skipped court, or violated their release conditions. All public records. All free. I started with Orange County FL and will be expanding to all 67 Florida counties and eventually every state in the country. This first batch of info is from 2024 and since public reports are released in March/April for the previous year, data is behind. But I wanted to see if this is plausible. After adding 2024,I'll add 2025 and then figure out how to get real-time-data uploaded. It's in beta — would love to know what you think 👇 Numbers don't lie, but criminals do. courtwatch.us @bennyjohnson @jockowillink @GrantCardone @LauraLoomer @nickshirleyy @j_fishback
Why Elon Musk is RIGHT to fight South Africa’s racist rules blocking Starlink? Imagine this: Long ago, South Africa had very unfair laws called apartheid. They treated Black people badly and kept them from good jobs and money. When those bad laws ended, the country made new rules (called B-BBEE) to help Black people get a fair share of business. The idea was good – like a big helping hand. But now? For companies like Starlink to sell fast internet, they MUST give away 30% of their business to Black partners. Just because of skin color. Elon Musk was born in South Africa. He left as a teen to chase big dreams. Today, his company SpaceX wants to bring Starlink – super fast satellite internet – to South Africa. But the rules say no unless they give up part of the company. Elon said it right: “Starlink is not allowed because I’m not Black.” SpaceX promised to spend about $30 million (that’s 500 million rand!) to give FREE high-speed internet to 5,000 rural schools. That helps over 2.4 MILLION kids every year learn better, get jobs later, and have a brighter future. Real help for the people who need it most! Starlink already works in about 24 other African countries. Villages there now have internet for school, doctors, and business. South Africa’s villages are missing out because of these racist rules. Elon isn’t asking for special favors. He just wants fair play so Starlink can connect everyone fast. Internet = education, jobs, hope. Why hold back millions of kids over rules that pick by race and color?
Inflation just hit its highest level in years in March – driven by the President’s war in Iran. Every time Trump gets involved, costs go up and working people pay the price. I’ll keep fighting to bring costs down and deliver real relief for families.

Opponents of the SAVE Act claim registered voters, especially women, won’t be able to manage updating their last names on voter rolls after marriage, divorce, or any other legal name change. They are wrong. It’s already happening at scale in New Jersey. We analyzed official NJ voter records. 11,131 registered voters successfully changed their last names in the last month alone. That’s over 11,000 people who navigated the exact process. Some, including "journalists", now claim it is impossible. This is the breakdown by party registration: Unaffiliated — 4241 Democratic — 4133 Republican — 2656 Libertarian — 41 Conservative Party — 18 U.S. Constitution Party — 14 Green Party — 13 Natural Law Party — 7 Socialist Party — 6 Reform Party — 2 It is insulting to women to use this basis to oppose legislation that validates the identity of voters in elections. @LeaderJohnThune @lisamurkowski @CoryBooker @AndyKimNJ
Far-left NJ Democrat Analilia Mejia is running on a full rap sheet of extreme policies - abolish ICE, attack policing, socialist health care - straight out of the Bernie-AOC playbook Republican Joe @HathawayForNJ11 will lower costs, protect public safety & fight for common sense
