Be careful with PowerLine, many of us oldtimers here are refugees of their purge and wrath. They can oftentimes parrot Establishment/RINO/AINO/USCOC dogma, it's why they killed forum format, didn't like being challenged in their thinking and wanted only non-anonymous commenting which has the effect of killing free flow of speech. They wanted an echo-chamber like Moron.org and Daily Kooks.
For local stuff I used to go to Northern Alliance, not sure if they are around anymore, get enough local garbage as it is when it goes national on my usual sites like IOTW, WRSA, Weaselzippers, Drudge & ZeroHedge.
