A West Virginia federal judge has ruled unconstitutional the government law against possession of firearms with obliterated, altered, obscured or removed serial numbers. U.S. District Judge Joseph R. Goodwin's ruling, if it isn't overturned upon appeal, would strip away an important tool for law enforcement in investigating gun crimes.

The document first begins with a land acknowledgment requiring students to recognize that the school is located on Dakota land. "Today, many Indigenous people from throughout the state, including Dakota, and Ojibwe (ooh-jib-way), called the Twin Cities home; we also recognize this acknowledgment is not enough.” “We commit to uprooting the legacy and perpetuation of structural violence deeply embedded in the healthcare system,” the pledge continues.

Fetterman attempted to address the fallout from the NBC debacle Wednesday in another interview — this one with the PennLive editorial board. The interview was not in person and still featured moments of stumbling from the Democrat. “The elephant in the room is that I had a stroke,” Fetterman said during the nearly hourlong clip. “There’s no secret that, sometimes, I’m going to miss words.” With just weeks to go before Election Day, Fetterman has few chances remaining to demonstrate to skeptics that he’s bounced back enough to represent Pennsylvania. “I think the Fetterman campaign has stretched this period of...

Moscow has announced it will evacuate Kherson after an appeal from the Russian-installed head of the region, raising fears the occupied city at the heart of the south Ukrainian oblast will become a new frontline. Marat Khusnullin, a Russian deputy prime minister, told state television on Thursday that residents would be helped to move away from the region in south Ukraine, which remains only partly occupied by invading troops due to a successful Ukrainian counterattack in recent months. “The government took the decision to organise assistance for the departure of residents of the [Kherson] region to other regions of the...

The following is an excerpt from The Vaccine Reaction. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has refused a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to release the autopsy results of people whose deaths were reported to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) after receiving a Covid-19 shot. The FOIA request was submitted by The Epoch Times newspaper. “VAERS is a centralized vaccine reaction reporting system that was among the safety provisions secured by parents of DPT (diphtheria-pertussis-tetanus) vaccine injured children in the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act (NCVIA) of 1986,” explains Barbara Loe Fisher, co-founder and president of...

The dude was happy to let her just talk. I even love how the moderator or whoever that is in the background tried to correct her mid-sentence, because moderators and reporters absolutely hate it when their favored political party shoots itself in the foot.

Elon Musk got in hot water again on Twitter—for proposing peace. On Monday, Musk proposed a peace deal to end the war in Ukraine, for which he was denounced as a pro-Putin puppet by the Twitter mob that has formed to police the discourse on all things related to Ukraine.The president of Ukraine himself, Volodymyr Zelensky, accused Musk of supporting Russia—even though Musk's company SpaceX donated Starlink to Ukraine's war effort at an out-of-pocket cost of $80 million. (Full disclosure: Musk is a friend and I am an investor in SpaceX.) Ukrainian Ambassador to Germany Andrj Melnyk was less subtle,...

JUST IN - Jan 6th Committee plans to vote to subpoena former President Donald Trump during today’s hearing - NBC News sources

Despite all of his public bluster, is it possible that Vladimir Putin is getting just a bit desperate in his bid to find some sort of path to something he could call a “victory” in Ukraine? One hint could be found in the fact that he twisted Lukashenko’s arm to pull Belarus into the fighting at this late stage of the game. But another indicator of Russia’s military reaching the bottom of the barrel popped up this week. Yesterday, Tyler Rogoway from The War Zone sent out this alert on social media. It seems that Russia is “modernizing” some of...

If you want to create a shortage of tomatoes, for example, just pass a law that retailers can't sell tomatoes for more than two cents per pound. Instantly you'll have a tomato shortage. It's...

I don't think there will be a nuclear war with Russia. But if it is, it'll be very a very slight one," said President Joe Biden. "It'll be just a mild armageddon, nothing more." As the broadcast continued, Jake Tapper nodded calmly before staring blankly into the distance, trying to register that the world may or may not be on the brink of...

There are growing indications that the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office (CCSAO) is struggling to fill vacancies, as approximately 20% of employees have resigned since last summer. CCSAO is so short-staffed that supervisors are assigning prospective attorneys who have not yet passed the bar to handle duties typically conducted by assistant state’s attorneys—like presenting allegations during bail hearings at Chicago’s criminal courthouse.
