Los Angeles County's top prosecutor called Tuesday on three credit card companies to stop online payments for the purchase of kits to make untraceable "ghost guns." "American Express, Mastercard and Visa have the ability to go beyond what any law enforcement agency, legislature or city council can accomplish," District Attorney George Gascón said in a written statement. "We are asking these companies to join us in stemming the flow of ghost guns into our communities by preventing a ghost gun kit from being sold with a few mere clicks on a smartphone or computer." So-called ghost guns are typically assembled...

Explanation: Which half of this sky is your favorite? On the left, the night sky is lit up by particles expelled from the Sun that later collided with Earth's upper atmosphere — creating bright auroras. On the right, the night glows with ground lights reflected by millions of tiny ice crystals falling from the sky — creating light pillars. And in the center, the astrophotographer presents your choices. The light pillars are vertical columns because the fluttering ice-crystals are mostly flat to the ground, and their colors are those of the ground lights. The auroras cover the sky and ground...

Thousands of Americans were left in Afghanistan after the Biden Administration’s botched withdrawal last summer, according to a stunning new report released by the ranking Republican on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and other Biden administration officials claimed that number of Americans left behind was only 100-150. According to the report, published by Foreign Relations ranking member Jim Risch (R-Idaho), the Biden Administration “did not hold a senior-level interagency meeting to discuss an evacuation or formally task the State Department (State) to contact at risk populations, including Americans, until August 14, just hours before Kabul...

A new government report out Tuesday details how opioid trafficking in the United States has changed in recent years, with Mexico now a "dominant source" of the country's fentanyl supply and synthetic opioids rapidly saturating drug markets. In its report, the federal Commission on Combating Synthetic Opioid Trafficking -- a bipartisan group of US lawmakers, experts and officials from federal departments and agencies -- warns that if the US does nothing to change its response to the new challenges, more American lives will be lost. "This is one of our most-pressing national security, law enforcement, and public health challenges, and...

Friends of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) around the world, unite! Liberal outlet Bloomberg News recently praised local CCP officials for becoming great “venture capitalists,” especially through funding electric vehicle startups like Tesla rival Nio.

The U.S. Capitol Police (USCP) are under fire after the USCP inspector general opened an investigation into allegations that the department illegally entered the offices of GOP members of Congress, interviewed GOP staffers, and took photos of documents that were protected under congressional rules. In a Twitter thread, Rep. Troy Nehls (R-Texas) alleged that his office was one of several GOP offices that had been illegally entered and searched by the USCP. “The Capitol Police Intelligence Division investigated my office illegally and one of my staffers caught them in the act,” Nehls opened the thread.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Biden administration will place hundreds of migrants caught at the U.S.-Mexico border on house arrest in the coming weeks as it seeks cheaper alternatives to immigration detention, according to a notice to lawmakers and a DHS official. A 120-day pilot program will be launched in Houston and Baltimore, with 100-200 single adults enrolled in each location, according to the notice, which was sent by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The Biden administration plans to ask Congress for funding to place as many as 400,000 migrants this year in alternatives to detention, which could include the...

The full forensic audit of Maricopa County concluded hundreds of thousands of ballot discrepancies and elections law violations, including the deletion of election files before providing the machines to auditors. The video evidence of this occurrence was redacted from the public report to maintain confidentiality and protect the individuals who deleted the files. Maricopa County officials previously admitted to deleting these files in a Congressional hearing but later walked it back, claiming that the files were “archived.” The Arizona Attorney General is currently conducting a criminal investigation with the full, unredacted report. Today, We The People AZ Alliance released the...

Well folks, I’ve been working on this for several weeks, and it is really hard to figure out where to start. So maybe I should just tell you the ending first: The vast majority of new vaccines and therapeutic drugs need fresh human babies in order to be produced, and you are probably consuming them and don’t even know it. Do I have your attention? It must be said that Satan really knows how to play the long game, which he’s been doing since the Garden, but more recently with the Enlightenment, False Liberty, Freemasonry, and finally Modernism, the direct...

A Jan. 6 rioter who stormed the Capitol while he was out on bail on an attempted first-degree murder charge was arrested by the FBI on Tuesday, more than 10 months after he was first identified by online sleuths. Matthew Jason Beddingfield, of North Carolina, faces felony charges of assaulting officers, impeding officers during a civil disorder and carrying a deadly or dangerous weapon on restricted Capitol grounds, as well as several misdemeanors, according to court records. Beddingfield was first publicly identified in a HuffPost story in March after online sleuths investigating the Jan. 6 attack used facial recognition to...

Mitch McConnell criticized the Republican National Committee for its censure of Adam Kinzinger and Liz Cheney and broke with their language on Jan. 6, calling it a “violent insurrection.” “It was a violent insurrection with the purpose of trying to prevent a peaceful transfer of power after a legitimately certified election. … That’s what it was,” McConnell said.

I've been advised to hold back one pill from each prescription refill in case of future supply disruption. This is particularly important because I have epilepsy. Is this "hoarding" legal? And is there a maximum number of pills that is legally safe to keep (for instance--accumulate one extra week of pills, accumulate one extra month of pills, etc.)? For the record--Internet searches haven't answered my question. Thank you a great deal for any information!

Wyoming Republican Party leaders moved to allow the Republican National Committee to support Harriet Hageman, who has been endorsed by former President Donald Trump in her primary run against Rep. Liz Cheney, on a financial basis. The move underscores the Republican mobilization against Cheney and could have just as big of an impact on the race as the RNC moving to rebuke Cheney and Rep. Adam Kinzinger by censuring them for sitting on the House select committee formed to investigate the Jan. 6 Capitol riot. But it is also prompting outrage from the Cheney campaign and other candidates in the...

Possibly the funniest political ad in the last 6 or 7 months. Kay Ivey is the Governor of Alabama.

After watching their once formidable advantage in registered voters evaporate and losing an embarrassing amount of ground in South Florida in the last presidential election, Florida Democrats say they’ve received the message and are going to change. Their solution is to kick off what they’re calling an unprecedented, well-funded effort to register voters. SNIP Democratic decline Republicans in Florida have been pouring money and people into registering voters and then mobilizing those voters to turn out in elections. The trend is unmistakable: Republicans have been growing their numbers faster than Democrats. In October 2021, Republican voter registrations overtook Democrats in...
