And the Second Amendment's right to keep and bear arms is no different," the majority opinion said.The ruling, sure to be appealed, was a victory for a Virginia woman, Natalia Marshall. She wanted to buy a handgun to protect herself from her abusive...

I think what’s happening in Cuba, right before our very eyes, is the latest in the continuous crack-up of the old Cold War political order and the rising up of a new one. A worldwide political order that’s re-defining politics and nationhood for the foreseeable future. So let’s unpack that a bit. Believe it or not, scholars have been predicting something like this for decades, particularly after the Soviet Union fell on Christmas Day, 1991. Now, if you remember, there were a number of scholars who believed that with the fall of the Soviet Union, we had reached an era...

[Editor's note: This story was first published in 1978 by F. Paul Wilson. Then it was probably considered rather "out there".

We're pleased to bring this story to our audience.] Butter. I can name a man's poison at fifty paces. I take one look at this guy as he walks in and say to myself, "Butter."

The California Board of Education is set to postpone implementing a proposed overhaul of its mathematics curriculum during a Wednesday meeting after opponents argued the plan could harm students by needlessly inserting politics and social justice initiatives into lessons, Fox News reported on Tuesday. The board apparently intends to delay a final decision on the curriculum to next May. "California is on the verge of politicizing K-12 math in a potentially disastrous way,” Dr. Williamson M. Evers, a senior fellow of the Independent Institute, said in a statement. “This postponement means the State Board of Education has heard the message...

Libya's weak new government needs to strike a deal with strongman Haftar to stay afloat.A businessman with Gaddafi regime ties, Abdelhamid Debaiba defied the odds when a UN-led dialogue chose him as prime minister earlier this month, despite French and Egyptian backing for a rival list led by the east Libyan parliament speaker Aguileh Saleh and west Libyan interior minister Fathi Bashagha. One powerbroker, however, breathed a sigh of relief. Khalifa Haftar, the military commander who launched a devastating war on Tripoli in 2019 only to be defeated and increasingly marginalised, was back in the saddle.

Anti-communist protests in Cuba are threatening to dismantle one of the last vestiges of former president Barack Obama's diplomatic legacy. The unrest has come as a shock to journalists and other Democrats who cheered the Obama administration's efforts to normalize U.S. relations with the communist regime. The controversial initiative, spearheaded by failed novelist Ben Rhodes, culminated in 2016 with Obama's visit to Havana, where he attended a baseball game with Cuban dictator Raúl Castro. The New York Times report on the Cuban protests opens with the following oddly worded passage: Shouting "Freedom" and other anti-government slogans, thousands of Cubans took...

Jenna Ellis slammed GOP Chair Ronna McDaniel, giving proof she knew about the anti-Trump RNC Chief Counsel Justin Riemer, telling her to “stop lying.” McDaniel’s Republican National Committee initially denied being asked to fire its Chief Counsel, anti-Trump lawyer Justin Riemer, by an irate Rudy Giuliani, after a new book revealed that Riemer sent an email to many involved in the legal fight urging them to drop President Trump’s fight for election integrity following the November election, and questioning what Giuliani and Ellis were doing. When Ellis said that the book’s series of events were accurate, that she had proof,...

Dan's warning about gov't-sponsored opinion control is in the first 20 minutes of (linked) Ep. 1561 if you don't have a whole hour to listen. He takes it beyond just the 'door-knockers' phase of mind and opinion control by the totalitarian left. Not many people inform us as passionately as Dan Bongino, IMHO

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell on Tuesday urged more Americans to get the coronavirus vaccine, as hesitancy toward the shots remains persistent among Republicans and some of his colleagues continue to cast doubt on the vaccinations. "I'm a huge fan of vaccinations as a polio victim myself when I was young," McConnell, who underwent extensive polio treatment as a boy in order to walk. "I'm perplexed by the difficulty we have in finishing the job," McConnell said of stamping out the virus once and for all despite "three highly effective vaccines."

President Joe Biden has nominated former Arizona Senator Jeff Flake, a prominent “Never Trump” Republican, as his choice for U.S. Ambassador to Turkey. Flake is being described in the establishment media as a “Republican” nominee, as if his nomination were a bipartisan gesture. However, Flake has distanced himself from most Republicans, saying “there is no future” for the GOP with Trump. Flake is almost certain to be confirmed by the Senate, where he served for a term before retiring.
