As Hurricane Ian storms along the Gulf coast, Twitter users scorched Politico for a Tuesday tweet falsely claiming Gov. Ron DeSantis, R-Fla., has never faced the tough challenge of a hurricane hitting his state. DeSantis took office in Jan. 2019 and Hurricane Sally struck the Florida panhandle in Sept. 2020, hitting the city of Pensacola particularly hard. Politico tweeted a link to an article titled "DeSantis faces the true test of any Florida governor," with the accompanying text, "Gov. Ron DeSantis spent his first term becoming one of the most influential Republicans in the country. But he still hasn’t faced...

President Biden spoke with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) on Tuesday evening, shortly after the governor said during a press conference that Biden had not yet called to discuss Hurricane Ian. “President Biden spoke this evening with Governor DeSantis of Florida to discuss the steps the Federal government is taking to help Florida prepare for Hurricane Ian,” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre tweeted. “The President and the Governor committed to continued close coordination.”

On December 15, 2021, President Biden released an Executive Order related to global drug trade and stated, “I find that international drug trafficking — including the illicit production, global sale, and widespread distribution of illegal drugs; the rise of extremely potent drugs such as fentanyl and other synthetic opioids — constitutes an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States.” If that’s true, then why is Biden leaving the border wide open? And don’t try to argue it’s not. There have been over 1.2 million migrants apprehended over the last 6 months,...

On Tuesday’s broadcast of CNN’s “New Day,” Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) reacted to Congressional Budget Office’s $400 billion cost projection for President Joe Biden’s student loan forgiveness plan by saying that it “seems to” wipe out whatever deficit reduction there was in the Inflation Reduction Act and that he “cannot answer when people call me” and wonder why they’re being “penalized” for paying their loans off. Manchin said, “I’m very much concerned about the debt we have. We have about a $31 trillion debt that we have to be realistic about. In the IRA bill, we had $300 billion being...

A Canadian mother is desperate to save her diabetic, newly visually impaired, 23-year-old son from euthanasia. Margaret Marsilla of Caledon, Ontario, a town northwest of Toronto, released a Change.org petition*earlier this month in the hope that it will prevent her 23-year-old son Kiano V. from dying at the MAiD (Medical Assistance in Dying) House in Toronto on September 28. Kiano – whose surname is known to LifeSiteNews – was diagnosed with diabetes when he was four, which led to his visual impairment and an operation to recover the sight in one eye. This left him, Marsilla said in a Facebook...

Politicians who enacted strict COVID-19 measures including lockdowns and vaccine mandates should be brought to justice, says Republican Maryland Attorney General candidate Michael Peroutka. “Nothing could be more on the point that all these lockdowns, mandates, orders, edicts, proclamations, declarations, whatever you want to call them, none of them were lawful. They were all violation of the law, and that can’t continue,” Peroutka told The Epoch Times. “Those people who have violated this document [the Maryland Constitution] need to be brought to justice.” He believes that implementing the restrictions was an abuse of power under the Maryland Constitution, citing Article...

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...

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.
