So-Called "Railway Safety Act" Constitutes a Political Handout to Big Labor That Does Nothing to Improve Safety At All

America as we know it was built largely upon and because of our rail industry, and today it remains a pillar of our economy.

Unfortunately, a destructive proposal before Congress misleadingly named the "Railway Safety Act" (RSA), part of broader surface transportation reauthorization, threatens great harm to our railroads.

Simply put, the bill has nothing to do with improving safety, but has a lot to do with advancing the political agenda of Big Labor.  At a moment when inflation burdens American families and fragile supply chains remain vulnerable to disruption, the last thing our economy or rail sector need is another costly federal mandate imposed upon one of the nation’s most important transportation sectors.

A Los Angeles, California, man is suing actress/singer Jennifer Lopez, claiming she duped him into sending her naked photos.

Rodrigo Ruiz has filed suit seeking $10,000 in damages for sexual harassment.  According to news sources, Ruiz submitted a demo tape to someone he believed was in Lopez' camp and thereafter received several follow-up letters asking for more demo tapes and naked photos.  Ruiz claims the letters led him to believe that he had a chance at a music career and a romantic relationship with Lopez. Now Ruiz says he is depressed and in need of professional help.

As it turns out, the mailing address Ruiz sent the materials to was a P.O. box owned by a 53-year-old Los Angeles woman.

A representative for Lopez told TMZ, "This is a small claims matter that appears to be a desperate attempt for notoriety. Ms Lopez has never seen or met the plaintiff, nor has she ever communicated with him. We believe this matter should be summarily dismissed."
