Just today, an employee of mine has been told he cannot take possession of a firearm he wished to purchase until NICS gives a proceed response. He made the purchase at Sportsman's Warehouse, here in Flagstaff on Friday, the 22nd, and there has still been no response from the FBI. A manager laughed at him and informed him the 3 day requirement is merely a guideline for the FFL to follow, and that Sporstman's Warehouse would not release the firearm until the FBI gave the proceed call. A call to Cal-Ranch for their policy found that they are delaying release...

Rep. Kyle Biedermann (R-Fredericksburg) has filed House Bill 1359, or the Texas Independence Referendum Act. AUSTIN, Texas — On Tuesday, Texas Rep. Kyle Biedermann (R-Fredericksburg) filed House Bill 1359, otherwise known as the Texas Independence Referendum Act. If passed, it would allow Texans to vote on whether the Texas Legislature should create a joint interim committee to develop a plan for achieving Texas independence. According to Biedermann, the bill is not a resolution to allow for immediate independence. Instead, it would give power to the people via referendum to allow the right to discuss, debate and vote on creating a...

Former Attorney General Eric Holder spoke at a Brookings Institute forum on court reform on Monday. Holder urged Democrats to pack the Supreme Court during his presentation. Holder, a far left Obama appointee, told the audience the federal courts are packed with ideologues “who consistently reach rulings based on their stunted mindsets.” By this, he means conservative judges who follow the US Constitution. Breitbart.com reported: Former Attorney General Eric Holder urged Democrats on Monday to pack the Supreme Court in response to what he called a crisis of “legitimacy” brought about by the appointment of a conservative majority. Packing the...

The leader of a radical eco-extremist group celebrated President Joe Biden canceling the permit for the Keystone XL pipeline, even as the move killed thousands of jobs. Co-founder of 350.org and New Yorker contributor Bill McKibben bellowed in a recent op-ed that “In his first hours in office, Joe Biden has settled—almost certainly, once and for all—one of the greatest environmental battles this country has seen [killing the Keystone XL].” He proceeded to praise how “the story behind that victory illustrates a lot about where we stand in the push for a fair and working planet.” McKibben fawned how he...

While the international community is involved in combating the coronavirus pandemic, vaccinating populations, and the US elections, the Iranian regime is engaged in leveraging the JCPOA, piracy, firing missiles, terrorism, bombings in neighboring countries and threatening the former US president on social media with revenge. The Iranian regime seeks to break the embargo on isolation by extortion and threatening the international community. Inside Iran, however, the mullahs try to prevent protests and uprising by executions, repression, and putting pressure on political activists, to delay its overthrow. The regime set a new criminal record by executing 33 people in December 2020...

Researchers at Tokyo Medical and Dental University (TMDU) in Japan show that melatonin and its metabolites promote the formation of long-term memories in mice and protect against cognitive decline. Researchers at Tokyo Medical and Dental University (TMDU) showed that melatonin’s metabolite AMK can enhance the formation of long-term memories in mice. Memory of objects were tested after treatment with melatonin or two of its metabolites. Older mice that normally performed poorly on the memory task showed improvements as dosage increased. The metabolite AMK was found to be the most important as melatonin failed to improve memory if it was blocked...

The Abraham Accords, brokered by the Trump administration, were a serious greatest diplomatic achievement by the United States. Four formerly hostile Arab nations established diplomatic relations with Israel, recognizing its right to exist and opening trade and tourism. If Donald Trump were a Democrat, that would probably earn him a Nobel Peace Prize. Compare and contrast with Barack Obama, who was nominated for the Prize within 11 days of taking office, and ultimately won it for . . . what, exactly? Does anyone recall CNN glorifying President Trump and his administration over the stunning success of the Abraham Accords? Or...

IN about 15 minutes from this post, a Q post from March 2019 stated that a MARKER would be set; specifically, " "Marker [2] Set." This was accompanied by a watch that indicated Jan 27, 3:06 PM (Presumably EST). Why is this important? Because in the same drop, Q had set Marker [1] for January 19, at 4:49. On that date, at 4:49 PM EST, a DECLAS drop was done from the Document release that verified that Christopher Steele admitted to an investigator that he colluded with Democrat operatives involved with the Hillary Clinton campaign to accuse Trump of Russian...

Jovan Pulitzer is attempting to forensically validate the ballots in Maricopa County Arizona. But the Board of Supervisors in the county is attempting to prevent him from doing his work there. Pulitzer has also offered to review the ballots in Fulton County Georgia and the Georgia Senate approved his effort there. But the last we heard on Georgia was that the FBI came in and took custody of some ballots and sent them to the shredder.

JOHNSTOWN, Pa. (WJAC) — Another tradition in the region was forced to cancel this year because of the pandemic, but a local business in Johnstown is finding a way to keep the annual Gob Fest alive. Custom Cakes and Cookies on Bedford Street in Johnstown began their own in-store gob fest, as a way for locals to still honor the sweet treat. “Everybody just loves gobs. I mean ever since I grew up, you hear gobs, gobs, gobs, everybody wants gobs. So, it’s just the Johnstown traditional thing, everybody loves gobs,” said Custom Cakes and Cookies baker, Sandy Fulton.

The de facto leader of Sweden's right-wing opposition, who three years ago vowed never to work with the Sweden Democrats, has said the anti-immigration party has become more 'serious' in its politics. Speaking on public broadcaster SVT's programme 30 minuter, the leader of the conservative Moderates, Ulf Kristersson, said: "I think the Sweden Democrats' rhetoric has changed a lot over recent years. They have branched out politically and take part much more seriously in parliamentary work." In particular, he said they had been "constructive" during work on the pandemic, law and order, migration and some aspects of energy politics. Kristersson...

The mainstream media has lost no time in falling over themselves to fawn over President Biden, but in doing so, many, the New York Times not the least among them, have made outlandish claims that are, at best, laughable, and at worst, horrifying. In an article headlined, “In Biden’s Catholic Faith, and Ascendant Liberal Christianity”, the New York Times called newly-inaugurated President Joe Biden the “most religiously observant commander in chief in half a century.” “Mr. Biden, perhaps the most religiously observant commander in chief in half a century, regularly attends Mass and speaks of how his Catholic faith grounds...

Social Media Giants Facebook, Instagram, and Tiktok livestreamed the murder of a 15-year-old girl by four extremely violent teens. Afterward, the four black teens can be seen on the footage gloating, defiant, eating popsicles and smiling. As Big Tech purges social media of independent and conservative voices for inciting violence, it seems to accept no responsibility for pedophilia or many other crimes on its curated platforms. In a shocking display of the state of social media and its effects on society, Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok all carried the livestream of four incredibly violent teenagers, aged 12-14, murdering another 15-year-old teen...

Note: The author's identity has been verified by the Washington Examiner, but her name is being redacted due to concerns of possible retaliation against her spouse. When news broke last week that soldiers serving in the Maryland National Guard on active duty at the U.S. Capitol were banished to a cold, exhaust-filled parking garage, Congress rushed to offer outrage. Social media exploded with vows from members to “get to the bottom” of things and to “make them right.” Unfortunately, that passion from just a few days ago has faded into business as usual on Capitol Hill. My husband serves in...

Former President Donald Trump’s top economic adviser Larry Kudlow is joining Fox News as a contributor and business host, the network announced Tuesday. “FOX News Media was among the first news organizations in the country to understand the critical importance of the relationship between Washington and Wall Street,” Kudlow said in a statement included in the press release. “I’ve long admired their insightful coverage and am excited to join many of my former colleagues now at FBN, creating a show that speaks to the real issues truly impacting Americans.” Kudlow will “provide expert financial analysis on domestic and global affairs...

Biden Launches Commission On Supreme Court Reform Joe Biden has quietly launched a commission on “reforming” the Supreme Court, potentially dropping a partisan bomb onto Congress at the same time he’s pleading for “unity and healing.” Politico reports that it will supposedly be bipartisan, but there’s only party demanding changes to the top court’s structure. Republicans will fight tooth and nail to stop any such bill from passing. It might come down to a filibuster fight in which Joe Manchin might finally have to decide whether he’s going to represent West Virginia or Chuck Schumer. This kind of radical overreach...

The haughty and very, very French-looking failed Presidential candidate John Kerry did his part in advancing the Biden Administration’s “Make China Great Again” agenda at today’s White House press briefing. Asked by a fawning fake reporter what he would say to oil industry workers who correctly believe their jobs are being eliminated by China Joe Potato Head Biden’s mushrooming assault on the domestic energy business, Kerry responded with this: VDO.AI “What President Biden wants to do is make sure that those folks have better choices… That they can be the people to go to work to make the solar panels.”...

The US Department of Homeland Security declared a nationwide terrorism alert Wednesday, citing the potential threat from domestic anti-government extremists opposed to Joe Biden as president. "Information suggests that some ideologically-motivated violent extremists with objections to the exercise of governmental authority and the presidential transition, as well as other perceived grievances fueled by false narratives, could continue to mobilize to incite or commit violence," the department said. The National Terrorism Advisory System Bulletin said a heightened threat of attack "will persist in the weeks following the successful presidential inauguration," which took place on January 20. "DHS does not have any...
