U.S.A. –-(AmmoLand.com)- The Senate Judiciary Committee has delayed voting on the nomination of retired federal agent-turned-gun control advocate David Chipman one week, until Thursday, June 24, and during that time, grassroots Second Amendment activists are expected to be flooding Capitol Hill with messages of opposition. “Between now and next Thursday,” suggested Jason Ouimet, executive director of the National Rifle Association’s Institute for Legislative Action, “(gun owners) ought to be contacting their Senators. They don’t want a partisan person like David Chipman running ATF.” Ouimet spoke with AmmoLand News via telephone, expressing alarm that a nominee with Chipman’s background would be...

Most libs would immediately apologize and surrender if pressured by the woke mob to cancel their membership at one of the most exclusive, all-white beach clubs in the country. Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D., R.I.) is not most libs, he’s the worst kind. Whitehouse, who was elected to a second term in 2018, might have a difficult time if his name were on the ballot this year—when politicians and commoners alike are being canceled for running afoul of “woke” culture. His refusal to renounce his ties to Bailey’s Beach Club in Newport, R.I., might be considered problematic AF in some circles,...

Though the original story was covered up and and buried from the get-go, Covid-19 seems to have been Canadian boosted. Indeed when the story surfaced for the first time in July of 2019, the Covid-19 media pandemic scare was but a twinkle in the eye of both the World Health Organization (WHO) and Dr. Anthony Fauci well before a yearly Influenza-like virus swallowed the world whole in the Lockdowns and business closings that followed the outbreak... Media and Government silence followed for almost two years after Xiangguo Qiu, her biologist husband Keding Cheng and several of her students were escorted...

Veterans Affairs Secretary Denis McDonough is moving to make gender confirmation surgery available to transgender veterans through Veterans Affairs health care coverage. McDonough announced the move, plans of which were first reported by CNN, at a Pride event at the Orlando Vet Center in Florida on Saturday. "We are taking the first necessary steps to expand VA's care to include gender confirmation surgery -- thereby allowing transgender vets to go through the full gender confirmation process with VA at their side," McDonough said at the event. The change marks a substantial shift in care for eligible transgender veterans. The National...

Eric Adams ripped his mayoral race rivals Andrew Yang and Kathryn Garcia for campaigning together on Juneteenth — which he says represented a broadside against him, a black man. On the holiday Saturday, Yang told supporters to rank Garcia, the former sanitation commissioner, second on ranked-choice ballots — a maneuver the front-running Brooklyn borough president said was offensive. “That last-minute attempt to derail me on June 19! That is when they did that. While we were celebrating liberation and freedom from enslavement, they sent a message, and I thought it was the wrong message,” Adams said outside St. George’s Episcopal...

Christopher Langan, a man once called the “world’s smartest man” by the media for having a 210 IQ, is urging resistance to the COVID-19 vaccine. Langan made a post in his Facebook group where he addressed his concerns with the COVID-19 vaccine, the mandatory vaccine regime, and its dire implications for mankind. “A mass human die-off would be traumatic and threaten the status quo. If the human population crashes and the economy follows suit, the elite will have nothing, no innate superiority or adaptivity, that might protect them and conduce to their survival. Hence, they prefer mass sterilization and a...

INTRODUCTION: Prior to 1992, few people had ever heard of George Soros. Then the British media made him an instant celebrity, touting him as the greatest investment genius of the age. Is Soros really a genius? Or is he just a front, created by British psywar operators to provide cover for British economic warfare operations? The man chiefly responsible for promoting Soros and creating his legend during the early '90s was Lord William Rees-Mogg, a prominent journalist, friend and confidant of the Royal Family, close friend and business associate of Lord Jacob Rothschild, and the father of British politician Jacob...

Someone surreptitiously gained access to a Bay Area community's water supply and deleted programs that treat drinking water, NBC News reported. The breach happened on January 15 and was noticed the next day by workers at the unnamed facility, who changed passwords and added the programs back in. The individual is being referred to as a hacker, but it doesn't appear it took much hacking to get in. The person got hold of a former plant employee's username and password, and simply logged themselves into the system.

Justus Angel and Mistress L. Horry were wealthy landowners in South Carolina’s Colleton District in the 1830s, in what is now Charleston County. The couple owned 84 slaves each for a total of 168, at a time when most of their peers owned a handful. Their slaves worked their plantation and made them rich. Angel and Horry also traded slaves for profit, showing no regard for dissolving slave families. They were no kinder or crueler to their slaves than anyone else. They were considered “slave magnates” because of the number of slaves they owned. They were referred to as the...

A recent Gallup poll showed that most Americans think it’s time to move on from the pandemic. But not the Democrats. Democrats say by a 71-29% margin that we still should not “live normal lives”, but instead should “try to stay at home.” That’s despite the fact that the COVID death rate in America is down nearly 90%, the new cases are down about 65%, over half of Americans have been vaccinated (and over 80% of the vulnerable ones) by vaccines shown to be 95% effective, and even the redoubtable (or perhaps doubtable) Dr. Fauci says we can go out...

A New Jersey city offered a tribute to George Floyd Wednesday by unveiling a 700-pound bronze statue of him outside Newark’s City Hall. Mayor Ras Baraka and other officials attended the ceremony where it was presented, WPIX reported. “Hopefully it inspires those who walk by to be more active, take part in activism,” Baraka commented. Actor and filmmaker Leon Pickney commissioned the statue that was sculpted by artist Stanley Watts. The piece was donated to the city and will be on display for at least one year, the WPIX report said. Pix 11 shared video footage of the unveiling ceremony,...

Joe “you ain’t black” Biden has signed a bill making “Juneteenth” a national holiday. Never missing a chance to play the race card, Democrats have successfully rewritten the history of June 19, 1865, accepted as the official end of slavery, just as they have rewritten the true racial history of the United States. June 19, 1865, is the day that Democrat slaves were freed by Republicans, by Union forces that were under command of President Abraham Lincoln, leader of a Republican Party founded to end Democrat slavery. Our history and our heritage is being shoved by rioters, looters, and anarchists...

Irish priests revive “Mass Rocks” from days of anti-Catholic persecutionThese altars made of boulders were once the secret worship places of Catholics, when the practice of their faith was prohibited.As part of a campaign organized by Aid to the Church in Need (ACN), Catholic priests are celebrating Mass at a “Mass Rock,” where the Irish faithful once secretly practiced their faith when it was illegal to do so.Mass Rocks, the clandestine churches of an age of persecutionIn the 16th-18th centuries, during the period of the “Penal Laws” enforced by England, any public expression of the Catholic faith in Ireland was...

On this date in 1979, the American Broadcasting Company journalist Bill Stewart was executed at a somocista checkpoint during Nicaragua’s bloody civil war. And what is more, the deed was caught on film — pre-emptively balking the crumbling Nicaraguan dictatorship of the ability to, say, blame the killing on the Sandinista rebels. Stewart was stopped in a marked press vehicle in Managua, ordered to lie down, and then kicked and shot through the head while colleagues looked on. Though his summary execution by national guardsmen was taped by fellow journos in the convoy, the reasons for it are well into...

...And the Chinese government was laughing all the way to the CCP banquets. I have to wonder if China knows just how incompetent government is from experience, and knew American government at every level would be catastrophically unprepared for a manufactured contagion. There’s a horrible parallel to 9/11 here. Those terrorists took advantage of the flaws at every level in our system, from lax private airport security to accessible cockpits and most important, of Americans' natural inclination to trust and obey authority. The Muslim terrorists told passengers to stay seated or they would detonate (fake) bombs. Americans did what they...

Ebrahim Raisi, a hardline judge who is under U.S. sanctions for human rights abuses, secured victory as expected on Saturday in Iran’s presidential election after a contest marked by voter apathy over economic hardships and political restrictions... Turnout in Friday's four-man race was a record low of around 48.8% and there were 3.7 million invalid ballots that were likely to have been mostly blank or protest votes. Appointed by Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei to the high-profile job of judiciary chief in 2019, Raisi was placed under U.S. sanctions a few months later over human rights violations. Those included the...

Twelfth Sunday in Ordinary Time Mark 4:35–41 Friends, the story at the heart of our Gospel for today is the storm at sea. Karl Barth said that the stormy waters in all of these cases stands for das Nichtige, "the nothing," that which stands opposed to God’s creative intentions, difficulties both interior and exterior, difficulties physical, psychological, and spiritual. The disciples in the boat are, as I’ve often said, evocative of the Church, making its way through time and space. And those waters are symbolic of everything that besets the members of the Church. To stay within the emotional space...
