  • Well...That Didn't Take Long. New Glock Model Already Outfitted with Full-Auto Switch

    Glock discontinued all of its current models and rolled out the Model V. This was supposed to be a design that was more difficult to outfit with an aftermarket full-auto switch. The move came as pressure mounted on the Austria-based company to change its designs because of this. They resisted for a bit, got some lawsuits thrown their way, saw their products banned in some states, and finally bent the knee. Sure, it's just a matter of time before someone figures it out, but the new model is so new and so modified that I'm sure it'll take months, if...

    The Maine Supreme Court heard arguments last week in a case challenging a lower-court order barring a mother from taking her daughter to church because the girl’s father, who never married her mother, claims it is causing her “psychological harm.” Unholy Father Eleven months ago, Matthew Bradeen secured an order from the Portland District Court giving him the exclusive power to decide which religious activities his 12-year-old daughter, Ava, may participate in. Bradeen’s relationship with Ava’s mother, Emily Bickford, ended before Ava was born. Bickford has primary custody of Ava; Bradeen has visitation rights. Bickford and her daughter have been...
  • Joy Behar Just Put ABC on the Brink of Another Huge Trump Lawsuit

    PJ Media.com ^ | 11/20/2025 | Matt Margolis
    ABC News might soon find itself staring down another expensive defamation lawsuit from President Trump, and honestly, it wouldn't come as a shock. On a recent episode of The View, Joy Behar confidently claimed that it was "obvious" Trump was a pedophile connected with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, implicating him in Epstein’s crimes. This wild accusation came without a shred of evidence tying Trump to Epstein’s criminal activities. In fact, Trump is arguably one of the few prominent figures who did the right thing and severed ties with Epstein years ago, unlike many Democrats who have since been ensnared...

  • Trump critic George Conway considering campaign for Nadler's seat as a Democrat: Report

    11/20/2025 9:59:37 AM PST · by DIRTYSECRET · 27 replies
    George Conway, a CONSERVATIVE lawyer but vocal critic of President Donald Trump, is considering jumping into the race to replace New York Democratic Rep. Jerry Nadler next year, according to the New York Times. The former conservative said he would run as a Democrat if he jumped into the race, but admitted that the party swap could confuse some voters and "put some people off." "This is the time for a lawyer who has never been in politics to go into politics," Conway said.

    Two large studies have put a spotlight on potential health risks of the COVID vaccine — but some experts urge caution when interpreting the findings. Recent research has linked the vaccine to a higher risk of kidney injury, as well as certain respiratory infections. A Korean study published in the International Journal of Infectious Diseases looked at how infectious diseases changed during and after the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the impact of vaccines.

    Republican senators are warning Attorney General Pam Bondi not to slow-walk the public release of records and documents related to the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein following votes by the House and Senate demanding the documents. The calls come amid speculation that the Justice Department may cite ongoing investigations or other reasons to hold back material. Bondi said Wednesday that “new information” obtained by investigators had spurred the Justice Department to reverse its earlier decision to close investigations related to Epstein. Democrats are warning that new investigations into high-profile associates of Epstein, such as former President Clinton and former Treasury...

    Fox News’ Martha MacCallum performed a needed service for America by leaving a loathsome Democrat congressman completely embarrassed after he called for members of the military to defy orders from President Trump and commit treason in the process. Rep. Crow appeared on Fox News on Wednesday to defend the disgusting video he made with his fellow Democrats, and was quickly embarrassed by MacCallum. She pointed out that he was not discussing any actual policy in the video, leaving viewers confused about what he and his fellow Democrats were talking about. Not only did Crow have no answer for this, but...

    President Trump has signed the Epstein Files Transparency act into law to release all files related to the Jeffrey Epstein investigation. As The Gateway Pundit reported, the House overwhelmingly voted for the bill, with only one Republican defector, Rep. Clay Higgins (R-LA), voting against the bill, citing privacy concerns for victims of Epstein. The Senate later approved the bill by unanimous consent. The President called on Congress to pass the bill on Tuesday, stating, “We have nothing to hide, and it’s time to move on from this Democrat Hoax perpetrated by Radical Left Lunatics in order to deflect from the...

    This fool died trying to steal copper wires from one of those electric car charging stations. Then his family tried and failed to sue the station for 3 million dollars. The judge threw it out and told the family they owed damages for what the man did to the charging station. Yes there is video of him being fried in this video. What is unbelieveble is the entitlement of the family wanting money because he died stealing from this company.

Per Punchbowl News: During an August trip to Mexico, Crenshaw was having drinks with a group of Mexican officials. One Mexican official cracked a crude joke that made a woman present uncomfortable. Crenshaw toasted the remarks. Johnson, Crawford and Crenshaw huddled...

    The Hill ^ | November 18, 2025 | Judge dismisses Trump suit against NY law blocking courthouse immigration arrests by Zach Schonfeld
    A federal judge on Monday dismissed the Trump administration’s challenge to a New York law that blocks immigration arrests for people traveling to and from state courthouses. U.S. District Judge Mae D’Agostino rejected the administration’s claims that New York’s restrictions create unconstitutional obstacles to immigration enforcement and are preempted by federal law. “To hold to the contrary would improperly elevate the concerns of the federal sovereign over that of a State and deprive New York of its essential ability to protect its sovereign interests in the face of undue federal interference,” D’Agostino wrote in her 41-page opinion. New York passed...
