White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on Thursday got into a back-and-forth exchange with a reporter who questioned President Biden’s inaccurate claim that inflation is higher “everywhere” else than in the US. The annual US inflation rate hit a fresh 40-year high of 8.6% in May, but Biden on Tuesday claimed that Americans are faring better than other countries — even though data from other countries show otherwise.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — California would be the first state to require gun owners to buy liability insurance to cover the negligent or accidental use of their firearms, if lawmakers approve a measure announced Thursday. “Guns kill more people than cars. Yet gun owners are not required to carry liability insurance like car owners must,” Democratic state Sen. Nancy Skinner said in a statement. She said the costs of gun violence shouldn't be borne by taxpayers, survivors, families, employers and communities: "It’s time for gun owners to shoulder their fair share.” The state of New York is considering a similar...

Never-before-seen photos of then-President Donald Trump surrounded by his children and aides at the White House in the hours before MAGA supporters stormed the Capitol were shown to the House select committee on Thursday. The photos were revealed for the first time as the committee probing last year’s Capitol riot spotlighted a “heated” phone call that Trump made to his then-Vice President Mike Pence from the Oval Office the morning of Jan. 6.

During an interview aired on Thursday’s broadcast of the Fox Business Network’s “Kudlow,” House Minority Leader Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) stated that he believes “we’re in a recession.” McCarthy said, “I actually believe personally that we’re in a recession. Remember, the definition is two consecutive quarters where you went down. Salaries cannot keep up with this inflation. We’ve watched it continue to grow. We watched with just the numbers [that] came back last week. What can we do if we change the course? Well, if you join with us and we have a new majority in this House, the first...

I’d first like to thank the Indianapolis Colts organization for granting me the opportunity to compete in the National Football League the past three years. I’ve built lifelong relationships with numerous teammates, coaches and support staff that have impacted me greatly. The lessons I’ve learned in this phase of my life will be valuable for me in my next chapter," Willis started. "With much prayer and deliberation, I have elected to officially retire from the NFL as I endeavor to devote the remainder of my life to the further advancement of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I thank all of...

Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department leaders say they have taken action as the L.A. County Civilian Oversight Commission looks into allegations of deputy gangs. However, the commission claims the department is being less than cooperative. Advertisement The sheriff's department has been dealing with the issue of cliques, or deputy gangs, and on Wednesday, officials talked about what they've done. "Sheriff Villanueva was the first sheriff to successfully implement a policy banning deputy clicks, and holding our personnel accountable," said LASD Assistant Sheriff Holly Francisco. The Los Angeles County Civilian Oversight Commission announced it will undertake a "full-scale investigation'' into alleged...

The Justice Department is again asking the Democrat-led committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol riot to turn over interview transcripts, saying the delay "complicates" the agency's own probe. “The Select Committee’s failure to grant the Department access to these transcripts complicates the Department’s ability to investigate and prosecute those who engaged in criminal conduct in relation to the January 6 attack on the Capitol,” reads the June 15 letter, according to Politico. The letter also states having the transcript is “critical” for federal investigators to "know the identity of all witnesses who have information relevant to the Department’s ongoing criminal...

President Biden is confident in the U.S. economy’s ability to avoid a recession despite a rough week. We’ll also look at another stock market slide, rising mortgage rates and pushback to the White House from the oil industry. But first, a hush money probe in the WWE.

[Catholic Caucus] Cardinal-designate calls liturgical tensions a ‘tragedy’VATICAN CITY (CNS) — Cardinal-designate Arthur Roche, prefect of the Dicastery for Divine Worship and the Sacraments, described as a “tragedy” the tensions within the Latin rite of the Catholic Church over the way the Mass is celebrated.In a wide-ranging interview broadcast June 16 by Vatican News, the cardinal-designate said the tensions are “partly” due to having had two versions of the Roman Missal — those from before and after the Second Vatican Council — in use in the church at the same time.“There’s never been a controversy about the liturgy in the...

A repeat offender who was spared prison time by Los Angeles’ progressive District Attorney might be eligible for a state-funded funeral after shooting and killing two police officers. Justin Flores, 35, was killed after a shootout at a hotel in El Monte, a city east of Los Angeles, on Tuesday. Two police officers later died of gunshot wounds they suffered at the hands of Flores. Corporal Michael Paredes and Officer Joseph Santana of the El Monte Police Department were responding to a domestic violence report at a local hotel, according to CBS News. In a sick twist, Flores himself may...

Then-candidate Joe Biden said in 2019 that he would “end” the fossil fuel industry in the United States. “I want you to look at my eyes. I guarantee you, I guarantee you we’re going to end fossil fuels,” he said in New Castle, New Hampshire. Biden said something similar in 2020 on the Democrat primary debate stage. Biden promised to wage war on the American oil industry by terminating subsidies and drilling feasibility. “No more subsidies for the fossil fuel industry,” Biden said. “No more drilling, including offshore. No ability for the oil industry to continue to drill, period,” Biden...

You have probably never heard of Jane’s Revenge. If it were a group opposing the teaching of transgender ideology in our elementary schools it would probably have its own FBI task force hounding it by now. It is not. It is a nationwide anarchist terrorist group dedicated to the use of violence against anyone who opposes its radical Marxist agenda. So, it has a pass to do what it pleases. Jane’s Revenge justifies its violent actions on the basis that it is fighting for a woman’s right to choose when it comes to abortion. Its true agenda is much broader....

John Roberts, or someone on his immediate staff, is the one who leaked the Dobbs decision a month ago. The votes to repeal Roe vs Wade and Casey vs Planned Parenthood was confirmed back in February, but Roberts has always wanted a compromise of some sorts that kept R v W. Roberts panicked and decided to leak the ruling & put pressure on the other 5 justices. ROBERTS LEAKED THIS, IS NOW DRAGGING HIS FEET ON RELEASING THE DECISION, VIOLENCE FROM THE LEFT ROBERTS HOPES WILL FORCE 1 OF THEM TO CAVE

The White House said on Thursday it is still working to end reliance on fossil fuels despite high gas prices crimping paychecks and fueling inflation to a 41-year high. President Joe Biden has a stated goal of cutting economywide emissions 50%-52% by 2030 by reducing the use of fossil fuels and promoting green energy sources such as wind and solar. He also wants to see half of all new vehicles sold running solely on electricity by that date. In the meantime, a gallon of gas has tipped over $5 on average for the first time in U.S. history while Biden...

Lincoln Project co-founder George Conway said Thursday on CNN’s special coverage of the hearing held by the House Select Committee investigating January 6 that former President Donald Trump’s “criminality” is being established. Anchor Wolf Blitzer said, “let me get your reaction to one of the most newsy developments we got, that John Eastman, this attorney that was advising the then president of the United States, he was beginning to believe that maybe he did commit an illegal act and wanted his name on that pardon list.”

Explanation: There are four Full Supermoons in 2022. Using the definition of a supermoon as a Full Moon near perigee, that is within at least 90% of its closest approach to Earth in a given orbit, the year's Full Supermoon dates are May 16, June 14, July 13, and August 12. Full Moons near perigee really are the brightest and largest in planet Earth's sky. But size and brightness differences between Full Moons are relatively small and an actual comparison with other Full Moons is difficult to make by eye alone. Two exposures are blended in this supermoon and sky...
