On the day he was shot in June 2021, Kathleen Boleyn's son, John Hurley, pulled out his gun and went after suspect Ronald Troyke after Troyke was accused of ambushing and fatally shooting Officer Gordon Beesley, court documents obtained by Fox Television Stations have reported. Troyke, the documents noted, had "a virulent hatred for the police."

While Twitter routinely bans conservatives, those who challenge the government-sanctioned Covid-19 narrative, or the results of the 2020 US election, threatening to assassinate a Supreme Court justice is just fine. “I’m going to assassinate supreme court justice Clarence Thomas,” tweeted user @redfrnn after Friday’s Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade. Upon reporting the tweet, Twitter said it didn’t break the rules. In case anyone was wondering, threatening to assassinate a Supreme Court Justice doesn’t violate @Twitter rules. But people get suspended for stating scientific facts. pic.twitter.com/DYvWTts8jn — Libs of TikTok (@libsoftiktok) June 24, 2022 The same user posted a...

...The Enquirer published its article in 1989 revealing the so-called 'Roe baby' had been found but, at her request, did not reveal Thornton's identity and she didn't meet with McCorvey. Two years after the Enquirer article was published and as an unmarried 20-year-old, Thornton told Prager she discovered she was pregnant. She was already planning to marry her partner Doug but she was 'not at all' eager to become a mother and Doug suggested they consider an abortion, she said, according to the excerpt in The Atlantic. Thornton said her ties to the Roe v. Wade case had caused her...

While everyone has been transfixed by the unexpected drop in the UMich 5/10 year inflation expectations, which dropped to 3.1% from a preliminary 3.3% print, which means that the alarm signal that prompted the Fed to panic last week and prompted the market to aggressively reprice (lower) the odds of future Fed hikes… … the report also showed the lowest consumer sentiment reading in the 70-year history of the series, realistically speaking a far more troubling indicator than what a small group of respondents think inflation will be in 10 years (spoiler alert, it will be much higher than they...

Explanation: What caused this outburst of V838 Mon? For reasons unknown, star V838 Mon's outer surface suddenly greatly expanded with the result that it became one of the brighter stars in the Milky Way Galaxy in early 2002. Then, just as suddenly, it shrunk and faded. A stellar flash like this had never been seen before -- supernovas and novas expel matter out into space. Although the V838 Mon flash appears to expel material into space, what is seen in the featured image from the Hubble Space Telescope is actually an outwardly expanding light echo of the original flash. In...

Then-Vice President Mike Pence had a tense reaction when he first saw the resolution encouraging him to remove then-President Donald Trump, according to new footage purportedly showing the moment. After one of Pence's aides handed him his phone, he read what CNN is claiming was the resolution from the House to enforce the 25th Amendment, the video showed. Pence responded, "Excellent," and requested that it be printed out for him to look over during his trip home, according to the clip. But a spokesman for Pence disputed what he read was the resolution. “In the documentary, Vice President Pence was...

Actress Jodie Sweetin was shoved to the ground by police officers during an abortion rights protest march in Los Angeles over the weekend. Sweetin, best known for playing Stephanie Tanner on 'Full House,' also describes herself on her social media profiles as an activist, was with a large group of protesters marching on a freeway, one of the many demonstrations that took place in response to the U.S. Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade. Video posted to instagram shows Sweetin, dressed all in black toting a megaphone, close LAPD officers who had formed a line across the freeway. The officers...

Sapp, who played for the Raiders in the mid-2000s, was interviewed on VLAD TV last week and claimed he heard Kaepernick’s workout was a disaster.“I heard it was a disaster. I heard it was one of the workouts ever. I’m wondering how the hell this happened, and the tape didn’t get out, right?” The Raiders opted not to sign Kaepernick, and it’s unclear if the team is willing to bring him back for another workout before the start of the preseason.

Though the conservative Supreme Court appears poised to strike down Roe v. Wade, Democrats control slim majorities in both chambers of Congress, and they have a president in the White House supportive of abortion rights. They also have public opinion on their side. But one thing stops them from passing a federal law protecting abortion rights and codifying Roe into law: the filibuster. The filibuster is a Senate rule that requires 60 votes to pass most legislation. Most controversial legislation is passed on party-line votes these days, and it’s very rare for parties to have 60 senators. Democrats only have...

A former Trump border security chief is warning that planning for the next terrorist attack on American soil may already be under way as Republican senators expose how transnational criminal organizations (TCOs) are benefitting from the Biden administration’s policies. Former Acting Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Commissioner Mark Morgan told the John Solomon Reports podcast on Wednesday that he’s concerned the next terrorist attack will come from a border crosser who evaded apprehension by law enforcement. “[M]y worry is, is the next terrorist attack is already here being planned in the United States, and they got in through that 800,000...

Lebanon's interior minister has ordered the country's security forces to break up gatherings held by the country's LGBTQ+ community after facing pressure from religious groups. Bassam Mawlawi told Lebanon's Internal Security Forces to "immediately take the necessary measures to prevent any type of celebration, meeting or gatherings" by the community. "This phenomenon is contrary to the habits and customs of our society" and religious principles, Mawlawi said, adding that "personal freedoms cannot be invoked". Mawlawi's orders come after alleged "calls on social media to organise parties and events promoting homosexuality in Lebanon, and following communications from religious figures rejecting the...

"As it is written in the prophets, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee. The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight." "The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance." "Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent...

Like many businesses, America’s gun manufacturers are feeling the deleterious effects of Bidenflation. Gun manufacturers, however, are additionally subject to the left’s ire and misplaced wrath over “gun violence.” After most horrific shooting tragedies, that wrath comes with the inevitably hysterical demands to ban “assault” guns and add even more stringent federal regulations on gun ownership while simultaneously vilifying all gun owners along with the entire gun industry and its workers. At long last, one American gun manufacturer, Smith & Wesson, has had enough. Smith & Wesson — one of America’s oldest gun manufacturers since 1852 — is hitting back...
