DOUGLASVILLE, Ga. (CBS46) - Georgia Governor Brian Kemp signed a bill Tuesday making it legal to carry a gun in public without a permit. “SB 319 makes sure that law abiding Georgians, law abiding Georgians, including our daughters, and your family too, can protect themselves without having to have permission from your state government. The Constitution of the United States gives us that right, not the government,” said Gov. Kemp, (R) Georgia. The governor signed the so-called Constitutional Carry Act into law Tuesday afternoon at a gun store in Douglasville. “The logic that if we put more guns on the...

Despite a City of Calgary injunction designed to significantly curb anti-vaccine mandate demonstrators' capacity to protest remaining in place for the fourth consecutive week, people were once again out in the hundreds at Calgary City Hall, demanding that the Charter-enshrined rights and freedoms of all Canadians be respected. Police presence was still noticeable, but it was significantly lessened compared to the prior weekends’ rallies. We did notice some peace officers noting the licence plates of people driving near the protest and laying on the horn, but unlike the three previous protests that took place since the onset of the injunction,...

Bishops sign letter warning that Germany's 'Synodal Path' could lead to schismMore than 70 bishops from around the world have released a "fraternal open letter" to Germany's bishops warning that sweeping changes to Church teaching advocated by the ongoing process known as the "Synodal Path" may lead to schism.The letter expresses "our growing concern about the nature of the entire German 'Synodal Path,'" which the signatories say has led to confusion about Church teaching and appears focused more on man's will than God's.“Failing to listen to the Holy Spirit and the Gospel, the Synodal Path’s actions undermine the credibility of...

Pennsylvania pharmacists want state lawmakers to allow them and trained staff members to continue providing the full range of childhood vaccinations. They’ve been doing so since early in the COVID-19 pandemic, when a federal emergency order allowed them to vaccinate children 3 and older. One purpose was to make sure children had full access to vaccinations during a time of lockdowns and disruptions to health care. And since COVID-19 vaccine became available in early 2021, Pennsylvania pharmacists have safely given about 7 million vaccine doses, including nearly half of doses given to children 5-11, according to pharmacists. Several hundred pharmacists...

President Joe Biden will allow E15 ethanol-blended gas to be sold throughout the US this summer, the White House said Tuesday, as part of measures to tackle soaring fuel prices in the wake of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. E15 gasoline, which is gasoline blended with 15% ethanol, is banned in most of the US during the summer because of air pollution concerns. But the White House said that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is planning to issue a national emergency waiver which would allow E15 to be sold between June 1 and September 15.

The tiny island nation of Sri Lanka in the Indian Ocean released a statement Tuesday that said it would default on its foreign debt, including bonds and government-to-government borrowings, amid its worst economic crisis in over seven decades. Sri Lanka’s finance ministry said it “has had an unblemished record of external debt service since independence in 1948.” A confluence of factors has drained the South Asian island nation’s foreign exchange reserves by more than 70% since the virus pandemic began, including the collapse in tourism and poorly timed tax cuts. “Recent events, however, including the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic...

Ed Morrissey wrote about the mass shooting on a Brooklyn subway this morning. Even this morning there were reports that the suspect was a black male around 5’5″ and 180 pounds. Now CNN is reporting the suspect has been identified thanks to a credit card he left behind.A credit card used to rent a U-Haul cargo van helped investigators in New York quickly identify the suspect who opened fire on a Brooklyn subway, two law enforcement sources told CNN Tuesday.The shooter, who fled the scene, was described as a 5-foot-5-inch Black man with a heavy build wearing a green construction...

The genre of faith-based films has grown stronger over the last ten years, but Father Stu pushes the envelope in one significant sense. Will the built-in audience for such films stand for an R-rated biopic? And will the warts-and-all depiction of the late Father Stuart Long bring in the crossover audiences that Mark Wahlberg commands?Hopefully, the answer to both questions will be yes, as Father Stu offers a moving and sometimes challenging look at faith, redemption, and family. No one gets spared from a harsh, critical look at Long’s life — not his family, his friends, his lifestyle, or even...

CNN’s new streaming service is facing major cuts after a disastrous start that fell far below projections. Chris Wallace left Fox News for a new job hosting on the platform, CNN+. After being poached by disgraced former network boss Jeff Zucker, Wallace celebrated his move to, what he thought, was a stable and well-funded new streaming service from CNN. But it has been a total disaster plagued by low subscription rates and shows that viewers are not interested in. And now it appears as though the new bosses at CNN have had enough. According to a new report from Axios,...

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky praised President Biden on Tuesday after the U.S. leader said Russian President Vladimir Putin is committing genocide in Ukraine. “True words of a true leader @POTUS. Calling things by their names is essential to stand up to evil. We are grateful for US assistance provided so far and we urgently need more heavy weapons to prevent further Russian atrocities,” Zelensky wrote on Twitter. The message came hours after Biden, while delivering remarks in Menlo, Iowa, accused Putin of committing genocide in Ukraine.

Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) blasted the Biden Administration in the wake of Tuesday morning’s record-breaking inflation announcement; the consumer price index rose 8.5% —a four-decade high. “Stop begging OPEC. Stop looking to Venezuela. Stop looking to Iran and rely on the American roughneck. No one does it better than we do, and these liberal politicians are regulating our communities and our country into poverty,” Boebert said during the a recent press conference.

CHICAGO — A former U.S. Postal Service employee based in Chicago has been indicted on federal charges for allegedly stealing stimulus checks from the mail.

HARLOTTESVILLE, Virginia — Former Vice President Mike Pence is speaking at the University of Virginia on Tuesday evening after news of his invite prompted leftist students to pressure the school’s administration to ban his event. The event is hosted by Young Americans for Freedom (YAF) at UVA.

The Russia/Ukraine conflict could soon be coming to an end because actor Sean Penn (you remember him as Jeff Spicoli in Fast Times at Ridgemont High) says he’s thinking about “taking up arms” against Russia. “Oh, gnarly!” Penn has been in Ukraine filming a documentary and expressed his support for Ukraine and desire to fight on its behalf in an interview with Hollywood Authentic. “The only possible reason for me staying in Ukraine longer last time would’ve been for me to be holding a rifle, probably without body armour,” Penn said. “Because as a foreigner, you would want to give...

Hearing oral arguments in a major Second Amendment case on Wednesday, Supreme Court justices considered whether to dramatically loosen gun control restrictions across the county, spiraling into a debate over whether New Yorkers should be able to carry firearms on the subway. The case is New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen, and it is a lawsuit brought by a pro-gun ownership group on behalf of two men denied a concealed carry license by New York State. The Empire State has a 108-year-old handgun-licensing law that allows authorities to deny a gun license to an applicant to anyone...

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky offered on Wednesday to swap pro-Kremlin oligarch Viktor Medvedchuk, who was arrested by Kyiv after escaping house arrest, for Ukrainians captured by Russia. 'I propose to the Russian Federation to exchange this guy of yours for our boys and our girls who are now in Russian captivity,' Zelensky said in a video address posted on Telegram in the early hours of Wednesday. 'And may Medvedchuk be an example for you. Even the former oligarch did not escape. What can we say about much simpler criminals from the Russian hinterland? We will get everyone.' Ukrainian authorities on...
