If Joe Biden’s unconstitutional appropriation of hundreds of billions of dollars for his bailout of Academia ever gets to trial, it cannot stand. Standing, however, has been the big question. In order to challenge this, a plaintiff has to show real damages. Congress could easily challenge this, but Biden’s party controls both chambers and is far more interested in ceding authoritarian power than defending Congress’ institutional authority.Pacific Legal Foundation thinks they have unlocked the key to standing, however. They filed a lawsuit this morning on behalf of one Frank Garrison, arguing that Biden’s student-loan debt forgiveness plan will create a...

“A man that doeth violence to the blood of any person shall flee to the pit; let no man stay him. Whoso walketh uprightly shall be saved: but he that is perverse in his ways shall fall at once. He that tilleth his land shall have plenty of bread: but he that followeth after vain persons shall have poverty enough. A faithful man shall abound with blessings: but he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be innocent” (Proverbs 28:17-19).

Flint, Michigan’s longtime city clerk is retiring after an election integrity group sent a letter to her office demanding she balance out the number of Democrat and Republican election inspectors. On Sept. 6, Pure Integrity Michigan Elections (PIME) and attorney Erick Kaardal of the Thomas More Society sent a demand letter to Flint and City Clerk Inez Brown threatening legal action if they do not balance out the number of partisan poll watchers before the November general election. As previously reported, during Flint’s Aug. 2 primary, the city hired 422 Democrats compared to just 27 Republican election inspectors — in...

There is a generation that curses its father, And does not bless its mother. There is a generation that is pure in its own eyes, Yet is not washed from its filthiness. There is a generation—oh, how lofty are their eyes! And their eyelids are lifted up. There is a generation whose teeth are like swords, And whose fangs are like knives, To devour the poor from off the earth, And the needy from among men. Proverbs 30:11-14 When we look around the world today, it's easy to despair. Wherever we turn, there is murder, rape, and violence directed against...

"Poland and Bulgaria’s foreign ministries are recommending all of their citizens leave Russia." "Speculating here, but couple this with all the nuclear saber rattling, and I wouldn’t be shocked to find out that Russia has been caught preparing to use a tactical nuke in Ukraine." https://twitter.com/Angry_Staffer/status/1574848223004565504

The founder of Occupy Democrats is defending the well-known Democratic activist group's work after critics have alleged that the brunt of the organization's spending over the last several years largely went to a handful of liberal consulting firms, including an LLC owned by the founder and his brother. On Monday, wildlife photographer Hamish Mitchell posted several photos on Twitter of Occupy Democrats' campaign finances over several cycles where he pointed out the combative meme-making social media titans spent the lion's share of the fundraising—about $577,000 of a total $797,000 raised this cycle—on "fundraising consultants," with no contributions to candidates. However,...

https://www.guns.com/news/2022/09/27/couple-buys-storage-box-finds-it-full-of-select-fire-m16s A shipment of military surplus storage cases recently bought by a Texas couple had at least one filled with some NFA-regulated party favors, sans tax stamps. The unidentified winners of an auction for over 100 green plastic Hardigg rifle shipping and storage cases from a Georgia-based online surplus company cracked open one to find at least a dozen M16s inside, reports KTRK in Houston. In what was probably the right move from a legal standpoint but what will be an epic letdown for many, they called the ATF who "quickly" arrived to pick up the guns.

According to Russia’s nuclear doctrine, Moscow can use the bomb when conventional weapons threaten "the very existence of the state"--a principle that could be applied to dangers faced by occupied territory incorporated via referendums..."The supply of modern weapons is just a business for Western countries based on hatred of us. No more. Overseas and European demagogues are not going to die in a nuclear apocalypse. Therefore, they will swallow the use of any weapon in the current conflict," Medvedev predicted.

...said retired Air Force Gen. David Deptula. “In fact, they don’t have the same air doctrine as the West, they don’t have the same level of training, they suffer from gross incompetence and poor leadership..."...In some cases, Russian jets appear reluctant to enter Ukrainian airspace at all...a lot of what they’ve done is they stay in Russian airspace and they fire into Ukraine with long-range missiles,” the U.S. airpower strategist told The Times. “There is a sense they’re avoiding being shot at by staying in their friendly territory and using their weapons capabilities” at longer range.

A women's rights campaigner has called for a review into the justice system after Sussex Police defended a legally male transgender paedophile by declaring it would not 'tolerate any hateful comments about gender'. The constabulary made the extraordinary statement online after it was criticised for referring to serial sex offender Sally Ann Dixon, 58, as female. It railed 'Sussex Police do not tolerate any hateful comments towards their gender identity regardless of crimes committed. This is irrelevant to the crime that has been committed and investigated. Sussex Police.' But Maya Forstater, who famously won a test case ruling gender-critical views...

Friends, in today’s Gospel, Jesus rebukes James and John for their desire for vengeance. We are walking with Jesus and his disciples as they make their way to Jerusalem. As they pass through Samaria, they are refused hospitality, for their destination is Jerusalem and this annoys the Samaritans. Bothersome? Stupid? Racist? Sure, all of those things. As a result, James and John (the sons of thunder) cry out: “Lord, do you want us to call down fire from heaven to consume them?” Can you hear echoes of this cry up and down the ages? Whenever people have been unjustly treated,...

Kommandant Garland is at it again. His FBI Gestapo has snagged another victim. Mark Houck, a well-known anti-abortion activist, was arrested in Bucks County, PA for allegedly violating Biden's FACE Act (the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act). The warrant specified “ATTACK OF A PATIENT ESCORT.” The details are in some dispute. Houck's wife described it this way:Ryan-Marie, who is a homeschooling mother, described how the SWAT team of 25 to 30 FBI agents swarmed their property with around 15 vehicles at 7:05 a.m. this morning. Having quickly surrounded the house with rifles in firing position, “they started pounding...

After having been canceled when CNN+ went under, Who’s Talking to Chris Wallace? debuted Sunday night on the regular CNN and, much like CNN+’s failed existence, it tanked with a scant 425,000 viewers at 7:00 p.m. Eastern and more than a third behind the total put up by the Fox News Channel (FNC). Things were even worse in the key 25-54 demo as it sank to 44,000. Over on FNC, former Congressman Trey Gowdy (R-SC) had a far more successful time with his show Sunday Night in America with 1.31 million total viewers and 83,000 in the demo, according to...

The New York Times economics columnist Paul Krugman’s so-called “rules” for Bidenomics that he preached just days before President Joe Biden took office aged like spoiled milk. Krugman published a blog six days before Biden’s inauguration where he established “Rules That Should Guide Bidenomics.” Among Krugman’s garbage heap of ideas, he argued that Biden shouldn’t worry about national debt or inflation and should spend taxpayer monies like a madman. He summed up his trainwreck of suggestions for Biden: “damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead.” How brilliant! Just over a year into the Biden presidency, the American economy is now reeling...
