A federal judge has struck down California’s controversial “assault weapons” ban, ruling late on Friday that the move is "unconstitutional." “This case is not about extraordinary weapons lying at the outer limits of Second Amendment protection,” Judge Roger T. Benitez of the Southern District of California wrote.

We have designed and tested a compact aneutronic fusion reactor capable of delivering tens of kilowatts of power, yet scalable to megawatts. It can deliver constant, distributed energy, anywhere, anytime, without generating greenhouse gases or other waste products, or requiring expensive capital infrastructure or exotic materials, or even any oxygen or solar energy to operate.

A taped conversation between Hunter Biden and an unidentified stripper devolved into a therapy session where the president’s son promoted stripping as a great career choice for intelligent, talented women. In the May 2018 recording, Biden appeared to be an expert of sorts, saying he’s been “to almost every club on every continent except one and every country that I can think of from Cairo … to China.” The strippers he met along the way aren’t proud of their jobs but they should be, because every woman has the “ultimate toolkit.” The recording was contained in the laptop Biden allegedly...

The latest article published by the American journalist Laurie Roth could be the key to everything. Basically, it could be the key to understanding what has been happening in the last six months within the United States. Roth claims she had a phone conversation with a high-level military source who leaked a stunning revelation to her. A few days before leaving the White House, on January 14, Donald Trump would sign the act known in the United States as “Insurrection Act”, which confers special emergency powers to the President of the United States in order to quell rebellions and acts...

Yuriy Lutsenko, the Ukrainian prosecutor who closed an investigation into Burisma -the Ukrainian gas company President Joe Biden’s son Hunter Biden worked for - said a lobbying company linked to Hunter Biden and Burisma had “pitched” him the offer of providing access to Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign, newly released emails revealed on Friday. In an email released via FOIA request to Citizens United and shared with American Military News, former Obama State Department official George Kent described a meeting with Lutsenko in September 2016 to discuss his contacts with Blue Star Strategies - the lobbying firm that helped represent...

The Post ran an expansive report on Thursday, titled "The racist legacy many birds carry," focused on the "birding community," which apparently is having a difficult debate "about the names of species connected to enslavers, supremacists and grave robbers." "Corina Newsome is a Black ornithologist, as rare as some of the birds she studies," Post environmental justice reporter Darryl Fears began his piece, noting she was hired to "break down barriers" at the Georgia Audubon nature preserve.

n alleged drug dealer and his cronies have hijacked a Bronx home and the squatters are now terrorizing a once-quiet area with dope deals, prostitution, loud music and harassment of anyone who walks past their front porch, neighbors claim.

Pope Francis Sets His Sights on the Latin MassThe rumors appear to be true: Pope Francis is planning to rescind Summorum Pontificum, Pope Benedict’s 2007 motu proprio liberalizing the celebration of the traditional Latin Mass (TLM), which Benedict dubbed the “Extraordinary Form” of the Latin Rite. This at a time when the TLM has been flourishing while most of the Church is experiencing significant declines. Before exploring why Pope Francis is considering this radical move, it might be helpful to briefly review the history of the TLM over the past 60+ years. In the mid-20th century, many leading Catholics believed...

Glaucoma involves a high risk of losing sight. Researchers at Karolinska Institutet and St. Erik Eye Hospital, among others, have now studied the effects of nicotinamide, the amide of vitamin B₃, on animal and cell models for glaucoma. The study, published in Redox Biology, may be a future neuroprotective therapy in glaucoma in humans. A clinical trial will start in the autumn. In glaucoma, the optic nerve, which connects the eye to the brain, is progressively damaged, often in association with elevated pressure inside the eye. The only treatment strategies currently available target the pressure in the eye using eye...

VIDEOIf Senator Joe Manchin ever wants to get CNN's Manu Raju to paint his home and mow his lawn for the next couple of years he can do it simply by giving poor Manu just a hint that he might be open to ending the filibuster. That's how DESPERATE Manu Raju is in his role as a flat out advocate for ending the Senate filibuster even though he is supposed to be just a reporter relaying the news.

1. U.S. Taxpayer Money Did Go to Controversial ‘Gain of Function’ Research Thanks to some confusing verbal gymnastics by Dr. Anthony Fauci, some in the media are giving the impression that there’s no proof U.S. tax money funded “gain of function” research or that, perhaps, the research didn’t qualify as gain of function. However, the evidence on this point is clear cut.A 2015 published study specifically discloses that the research is gain of function research that took bat coronavirus that was harmless to people—and made it infectious in humans. The study further states that the National Institutes of Health (NIH)...

California Gov. Gavin Newsom said Friday he sees no conflict in the nonprofit launched by his wife accepting donations from companies that lobby his administration. [T]he nonprofit, called The Representation Project, has received at least $800,000 in political donations from corporations that lobby state government in recent years. Jennifer Siebel Newsom founded the nonprofit in 2011 and drew a $150,000 salary in 2019, according to the couple’s most recently released tax returns. She left her job as chief executive officer that year, when Newsom became governor, and now serves as chief creative officer. State law doesn’t have special rules for...

The Dr. Anthony Fauci email dump includes a puzzling image — a March Madness-style tournament bracket of fatal diseases, in which coronavirus emerges as champion. The image is titled “Dr. Fauci’s March Madness Bracketology Picks.” It is dated March 11, 2020, and signed “—Tony F.” In the morbid pool, coronavirus — top-seeded out of the East region — defeats a field that included such dreaded diseases as Ebola, H1N1, Zika, herpes, and measles.

Gov. Greg Abbott signed into law a bill that requires law enforcement to enter missing persons case details into a national database. House Bill 1419, also known as “John and Joseph’s Law”, also requires a justice of the peace or a medical examiner to enter details about unidentified bodies into the same database, the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System. Case details can include dental records, fingerprints and clothing descriptions. HB 1419 is named after John Almendarez and Joseph Fritts of Houston — whose respective families had to wait several years before their bodies were identified.

There are no approved drugs to treat nonalcoholic fatty liver disease but controlling blood sugar over time may help decrease the risk of liver scarring and disease progression. According to a new study by Duke Health researchers, the average three-month blood glucose levels of patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease influenced their chance of having more severe scarring in the liver, which can lead to liver failure. "It's becoming one of the leading causes of liver transplants and liver mortality," Alexopoulos said. "But we don't have any effective treatments that are FDA approved, so really what it comes down to...

According to Abbott, those arrested in this manner could spend anywhere from six months to a year in jail. “More tax money right,” El Pasoan Daniel Ravas said. “So, I mean you're either putting it on Border Patrol salaries and getting more people on the border trying to take that preventative action, or you're just reacting to people coming over the border and then warehousing them for six months.”

A former U.S. Treasury Department official has been sentenced to jail for leaking thousands of pages of anti-Trump financial information to the news media. Natalie Mayflower Sours Edwards was a senior adviser in the Treasury Department’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN). She was allowed to plead to a single count of a conspiracy crime for leaking over 2,000 confidential banking documents called “suspicious activity reports." Edwards was reportedly sentenced to six months in jail. That's more time than a former FBI attorney received after admitting to doctoring a document to illegally obtain a wiretap against former Trump campaign associate Carter...
