It's an exciting weekend, but of course safety is top of mind. Local law enforcement agencies teaming up to try and prevent incidents, like the shooting that occurred in West Hollywood that injured rapper Kodak Black. Dozens of people scattered as shots rang out around 2:45 a.m. Saturday. And although that party was not Super Bowl or NFL affiliated, it was one of many high-profile, big-name e...

An abstract 3D render of a light blue circuit board There has been a lot of talk about the end of Moore’s Law for at least a decade now and what kind of implications this will have on modern society.

Local police agencies and federal authorities have taken possession of large sums of cash discovered during traffic stops and encounters with travelers at the Dayton International Airport. The city of Dayton has received more than $1.2 million in the past five years from both state and federal forfeitures, including ones related to criminal convictions. Asset seizures and forfeitures are a cr...

DEAR EDITOR: If our President publicly stated he was going to ensure he appointed a white male to be the next Supreme Court Justice, many of our news reporting services would be lambasting him with criticism. Yet those same news services say nothing negative about him stating he will appoint a black female. Why? Both actions are illegal within the United States labor system. Why is it viewed ...
