Federal law explicitly prohibits the creation of a federal firearm registry, but the Biden administration is making one anyway. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) has collected nearly one billion firearm purchase records. The government has now created a searchable digital database containing 866 million of these transactions, including some 54 million made in 2021 alone.This massive data collection effort encompasses information on all guns sold by licensed gun dealers, and on all legal gun transfers in states with so-called universal background checks. So, federal officials will have the name of everyone who legally obtained a gun....

With truckers being arrested over fuel, Canadians troll the Ottawa police with empty fuel containers, or by filling them with other things like water and washer fluid. LMAO

“We have assembled the most amazing set of people at OSTP, and we have together set out the most ambitious goals that this agency has ever attempted. I have sought to push myself and my colleagues to reach our shared goals — including at times challenging and criticizing,” Lander wrote in his resignation letter to Biden. “But it is clear that things I said, and the way I said them, crossed the line at times into being disrespectful and demeaning, to both men and women. That was never my intention.” Lander wrote that his resignation is effective “no later than...

Quebec Premier François Legault had one message for Quebecers Tuesday: it is time to learn to live with the virus. "The population is fed up. I'm fed up. We're all fed up," he said. "But the reason we resisted [easing restrictions] until today was because there was too much risk." "Right now, we can take a calculated risk and finally turn the page." Legault announced that most of the province's restrictions will be lifted by mid-March, though mandatory mask mandates and the vaccine passport will remain — at least for now. It's the latest in a series of reopening announcements,...

An unvaccinated oral surgeon has filed a lawsuit in Rhode Island after his medical practice, which saw over 800 patients each month, was shut down over him not getting a COVID-19 vaccine, according to the New Civil Liberties Alliance. He was banned from work as an oral surgeon, unless he got vaccinated, the same day Rhode Island’s vaccine mandate for healthcare workers went into effect on Oct. 1, according to an order by the state health department. Now, Dr. Stephen Skoly is suing the state’s Gov. Daniel McKee and the interim director of the state’s health department arguing that “Rhode...

Another terrorist imprisoned in Guantanamo to walk free The Biden administration is slated to set free a would-be 9/11 hijacker who has been imprisoned at Guantanamo Bay for his role in the deadly strike on Americans at the World Trade Center, generating outrage from top Republican lawmakers. Mohammed al-Qahtani, who planned to hijack planes on Sept. 11, 2001, for al Qaeda but was denied entry into the United States, will be transferred to Saudi Arabia following the Biden administration's decision late last week to set him free. He is scheduled to be flown to Saudi Arabia and placed in a...

Judge rules danger to immunocompromised child’s health requires virtual visits onlyNew Brunswick father who is refusing to be vaccinated against COVID-19 has lost his right to see his immunocompromised child and his two other children in person. Justice Nathalie Godbout of the Court of Queen's Bench writes in her decision that she was ruling "with a heavy heart" but that the health risk to the 10-year-old child made the decision necessary. And she debunks the "research" the father did himself that he says led him to question the safety and efficacy of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine. "His own anecdotal research on...

Some coronavirus vaccine candidates currently under development could increase susceptibility to HIV, a group of researchers has warned.A modified virus being used in four COVID-19 vaccine contenders — called adenovirus 5 (Ad5) — has been shown to increase transmission of the AIDS virus in the past, the researchers wrote in a “cautionary tale” published in The Lancet medical journal Monday.Adenoviruses — a group of common viruses which can cause a range of illnesses, including the common cold — are sometimes genetically engineered and used to create inoculations.But the Ad5 strain used in a potential HIV vaccination a decade ago was...

A judge in Italy has ruled against the parents of a two-year-old boy in urgent need of heart surgery after they demanded that doctors only use blood transfusions from unvaccinated donors. The medical saga kicked off in northern Italy two weeks ago, when the father of the child – who has heart disease – asked Bologna’s Sant’Orsola hospital not to use blood donated by people who had been vaccinated against Covid, causing the surgery to be delayed. The man took to anti-vax Telegram channels in search of volunteers. “Urgent. Unvaccinated blood needed for a delicate surgery,” he wrote, under the...

FIRST ON FOX: The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is funding $27 million in studies marked for use of fetal tissue, according to a new analysis.The White Coat Waste Project (WCW), which opposes animal experimentation, looked through NIH data to uncover the scope of funding, which includes support for things like transplanting fetal lungs, liver and thymus into mice.

Young adults in the United States can add more than a decade to their life expectancy by changing from a typical Western diet to one that includes more legumes, whole grains and nuts, and less red and processed meat, an analysis published Tuesday by PLOS Medicine found. For older people, the anticipated gains to life expectancy from such dietary changes would be smaller, but still substantial, the researchers said. Young women who changed to an "optimal" diet high in fruit and vegetables and low in red and processed meats beginning at age 20 -- and stuck to it -- would...

Democrats were caught off guard by Donald Trump’s numbers in South Texas in 2020. The Hispanic Republican women who live there were not. Many of them have played a leading role in urging their neighbors in majority-Hispanic South Texas to question their traditional loyalty to the Democratic Party. Hispanic women now serve as party chairs in the state’s four southernmost border counties, spanning a distance from Brownsville almost to Laredo — places where Trump made some of his biggest inroads with Latino voters. A half-dozen of them are running for Congress across the state’s four House districts that border Mexico,...

Kurt Zouma was named in West Ham’s starting line-up against Watford despite his cat-kicking shame. The French defender was condemned by his club, the RSPCA and other animal welfare groups after a video emerged of him dropping, kicking and slapping his pet cat. Zouma has apologised for his actions while Essex Police have confirmed they are liaising with the RSPCA as part of their “urgent enquiries”. Yet despite the widespread revulsion towards the video, Hammers manager David Moyes has controversially stuck with the 27-year-old. In the video, Zouma is seen kicking and slapping the cat, while laughter can be heard...

OTTAWA—After emerging from his top-secret underground hiding hole, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau gave a fiery speech before the House of Commons. In it, he demanded truckers stop shutting down the city, in order to give the government room to shut down the city instead. "Let me be clear," said the frail little socialist girl claiming to be Trudeau. "Shutting down roads, limiting people's movement, restricting people's freedom, and shutting down the city is unacceptable. It's the government's job to do that. We must break the back of this fascist blockade so that I may freely shut down roads, limit...

YouTuber King Cid, who has 2 million subscribers on the platform, was last week arrested after he and his friends in January misused 911 as part of a YouTube "coke" prank, according to police. Cid, whose legal name is Jason Cid, in a video uploaded to his YouTube channel showed the January 27 incident. In the video, Cid told a friend call local police about "weird, suspicious activities" at a gas station in Southern Florida. But the car the friend reported to the dispatcher was the one occupied by Cid and his friends. Cid was charged with the third-degree felony...

Four Kansas state Senate Republicans on Monday night voted with Democrats to protect Gov. Laura Kelly’s (D) veto on the state’s redistricted maps. While the Senate necessitates a two-thirds majority to override the governor’s veto, three of the four Republican senators that voted “no” on Monday changed their votes from the original vote on the map last month. The chaotic vote ended at 25-14, with Senate President Ty Masterson (R) switching his vote to allow another opportunity for a vote on Tuesday. Republicans need two of the four Republican senators to reverse course and vote to override the veto. Those...

One of the odder aspects of it all was accentuated during the State of the Union was watching Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi‘s protracted, animated lip contortions. As for all that teeth sucking and like angst, “I try not to watch her mouth,” Sutherland says. “It could be a nervous habit – I don’t know.”
