On Wednesday, I received a letter from Bryan M. Sullivan, a partner at Early Sullivan Wright Gizer & McRae LLP, who is the lawyer of Kevin Morris (who is the lawyer for Hunter Biden). The letter warns that I could face a defamation action if I do not retract (or if I repeat) my criticism of Morris’s representational relationship with Hunter. Putting the personal invectives aside, Sullivan did offer a couple of details on the possible defense of Morris in a pending ethics complaint brought by a conservative legal group. Roughly a year ago, I wrote a column discussing how...

Is there going to be a major confrontation on the border following Joe Biden's ultimatum that Texas National Guard forces be removed from Shelby Park and other "disputed" areas? Not if the rank-and-file of the U.S. Customs and Border Patrol have anything to say about it. According to a new post put out by the Border Patrol Union, and a new report from Griff Jenkins of Fox News, Biden has lost operational control of the situation, at least in a practical sense. Border Patrol Union - NBPC @BPUnion Rank-and file BP agents are not going to start arresting TX NG...

President Biden taunted former President Trump late Friday by invoking the name of former first lady Melania Trump’s "Be Best" anti-cyberbullying campaign while responding to a report that his campaign has been throwing jabs at the Republican frontrunner. "Be Best," Biden simply wrote on his official X, formerly Twitter, account after reposting a CNN report that claimed Trump has been "rattled" by Biden increasingly personally insulting him on the campaign trail. The video had originally been posted by the Biden campaign’s notably snarky digital rapid response channel on X. The CNN report claimed that Biden was attempting to throw Trump...

An insurance company that covered several businesses destroyed during the George Floyd riots in Minneapolis is suing the city for negligence. “[George] Floyd’s death sparked several days of protests and civil unrest, which resulted in damage to numerous businesses in Minneapolis and Saint Paul, including damage to the insureds’ businesses,” the lawsuit (pdf) states. The Illinois Casualty Company (ICC) paid insurance claims of over $5.6 million in damages “caused by the civil unrest,” according to the lawsuit. The complaint cites an independent report from Hillard Heintze (HH), a safety and security consulting firm. The city contracted with the firm in...

Rank-and file BP agents are not going to start arresting TX NG members for following their LAWFUL orders. That's fake news.TX NG and rank-and-file BP agents work together and respect each other's jobs. Period. If TX NG members have LAWFUL orders, then they have to carry out those orders.TX NG members realize that rank-and-file BP agents have their orders as well. Lawful orders, no matter how unpopular or distasteful amongst rank-and-file agents, must be followed. Unlawful orders (as determined by competent legal counsel and not what some outhouse lawyer behind a keyboard says) will not be followed. Rank-and-file BP agents...

Guys buying their way out of the meat grinder and the scheme by which the kleptonazi regime avoids paying death benefits to survivors of soldiers killed in the meat grinder.

Oh would you look at that, a woman got pregnant. Shocker! Marco identifies as a man but biologically is a woman. According to New York Post, Marco underwent a voluntary mastectomy and when she began prepping to get a hysterectomy, she found out she was five-months pregnant. Despite her every effort to convince the world that she’s a he, science proved her wrong, as it always will. Marco, who lives in Italy, is now part of a group called “seahorse dads,” according to New York Post. In actual seahorses, males are the ones that carry the fertilized eggs until they...

CV NEWS FEED // Catholic pro-life analyst Michael New slammed a study recently cited by pro-abotion activists and the mainstream media as “one of the worst and most misleading pieces of advocacy research” he has “ever encountered.” New refuted the research in a Thursday National Review piece titled “No, 64,000 Children Have Not Been Conceived in Rape in States with Pro-Life Laws.” “This week, the academic journal JAMA Internal Medicine published a study claiming that … tens of thousands of pregnancies resulted from rape in states that enacted strong post-Dobbs pro-life laws,” he wrote. The JAMA study suggested that pro-life...

A well-coordinated, well-funded, and high-powered network of leftist organizations, led by a group whose efforts 2016 Democrat presidential nominee Hillary Rodham Clinton promoted, is behind the push to remove former President Donald Trump, the 2024 frontrunner for president from any party, from the ballot, Breitbart News has learned. But it’s much broader than that: For years, this network of leftists grew from a powerful vast left-wing conspiracy unmasked a decade ago into now being the dominating force on the left determined to stop Trump at all costs. What’s more, these leftists clearly control what top Democrats are saying, forcing their...

CV NEWS FEED // First Lady Jill Biden invited Kate Cox, a Texas woman who unsuccessfully sued the state over its pro-life legislation, to President Joe Biden’s March State of the Union Address. “The first lady invited Kate to join her as a guest at the State of the Union and Kate accepted,” White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said during a Wednesday press conference. Jean-Pierre added that the first lady and President Biden both “thanked [Cox] for her courage in sharing her story and speaking out about the impact of the extreme abortion ban in Texas.” The Press Secretary...

Yesterday I ran into somebody that I haven't seen in a while. I haven't seen this guy for months. He’s been here for about five months in the United States. Six months something like that. And he says uh hey I'm uh I’m looking for work. And I said well I can't hire you man I'm not I I got to hire like legitimate people or whatever. And he was like no no no I'm I'm legitimate now and he broken English kind of bits and pieces together and he pulls his ID and stuff out of his pocket. And...

A new AI-integrated drone called Saker uses an AI program to identify up to 64 different types of Russian military target including heavy armour, trucks and light armour. The Saiker UAV can operate autonomously without the need of a controller and hit targets with its bombs. This makes it useful in areas with high electronic warfare and jammers.

Virginity is a social construct and everyone can create their own definition of what sex is, Planned Parenthood claims. Planned Parenthood — which notably profits from the killing of unborn babies via abortion — posted a video to X on Thursday aimed at young people, explaining its definition of virginity and telling young people that they can create their own definition of sex rather than adhere to reality. “Sex means different things to different people. Generally speaking, society tends to define sex in a very narrow way: penetration — penis into vagina. But where does that definition leave queer people?...

Cuba’s communist regime is planning to force political prisoner Lisdany Rodríguez Isaac, who is reportedly currently seven weeks pregnant, to kill her unborn child, the human rights organization Prisoners Defenders denounced on Tuesday evening. Rodríguez Isaac is a 25-year-old Cuban citizen currently serving an eight-year prison sentence at the Guamajal Prison in Santa Clara for having participated in the historic July 2021 wave of anti-communist protests. The Castro regime charged her with public disorder, “disobedience,” and assault for her peaceful display calling for an end to over six decades of communist rule in Cuba. Rodríguez Isaac is a practitioner of...

@ThomasEWoods Texas is in the right constitutionally (in case that still matters to anybody). I've heard some people say this: since immigration per se is not mentioned in the Constitution (although naturalization is), then the relevant power rests with the states. Such people proceed to deploy this argument in defense of so-called "sanctuary cities." But if that argument can defend sanctuary cities, it can also and to the same extent defend the Texas move to try to staunch the flow of illegals coming through the southern border. What's good for the goose is good for the gander, after all. Now...

The United States is planning to station nuclear weapons in the UK for the first time in 15 years as the threat from Russia increases, Pentagon documents seen by The Telegraph reveal. Procurement contracts for a new facility at RAF Lakenheath in Suffolk confirm that the US intends to place nuclear warheads three times the strength of the Hiroshima bomb at the air base. The US removed nuclear missiles from the UK in 2008, judging that the Cold War threat from Moscow had diminished. The disclosure comes in the wake of warnings that Nato countries need to ready their citizens...

The IDF on Thursday attacked a key Hezbollah-Iranian airstrip in Kilat Jaber, Lebanon, that was used for launching aerial attacks against Israel, in a major escalation between the sides. Last September, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant revealed pictures showing the joint Hezbollah-Iranian terrorist air base in southern Lebanon, about 20 kilometers from the Israeli border. Gallant said at the time that at the airport, one can see Iran’s flag flying on the runways from which the ayatollahs’ regime is using to plot against Israel.

The Denver hospital system is turning away local residents because it is flooded with migrant visits. Denver Health CEO Donna Lynne warned the center is in a crucial moment due to unexpected costs associated with immigrant visits. What I think is not being said is that Denver Health is at a critical, critical point and that we need to take this up in 2024,” Lynne told the Denver City Council, according to the Denver Post. Eight-thousand migrants from Central America accounted for approximately 20,000 visits in 2023. Denver Health asked the Federal Emergency Management Agency to provide funds for immigrants’...

Does anyone know of a free (Or can someone make one) of the Alamo Flag in gif format so it looks as if its fluttering in the wind? Something people can post on the web pages in support of Texas and flood the net?
