    The National Instant background Check System (NICS) numbers for October, 2022, are the third highest on record. The gun sales recorded by NICS for October, 2022 are the fourth highest on record. This shows the trend of gun sales is softening a bit. Suppose potential gun buyers perceive greater stability in national and international affairs. In that case, if potential gun purchasers perceive the threat of gun restrictions to have decreased because of the election and Supreme Court and lower court restrictions, sales will likely decrease.The number of NICS checks in October 2022 was down by 6 percent from October...

    PITTSBURGH — The first thing Allegheny County Republican Chairman Sam DeMarco saw on election night after the polls closed was the more than 100,000 votes from his home county that dropped for Democrat John Fetterman through mail-in ballots. Although he wasn’t sure just yet that that meant the race was lost, he also knew Republicans needed to fix something in the party’s way of doing things going forward. “Those initial large dump of voters were mail-in ballots from Democrats,” he said of the advance voting that began in 2020 during the pandemic. Democrats embraced it with gusto, but Republicans shied...

    During the month of November, the Church has us ponder the Four Last Things: death, judgment, Heaven, and Hell. As the golden gown of autumn gives way to the lifeless look of winter, we are encouraged to see that our lives are on a trajectory that leads to autumn and then to the winter of death. But those who have faith know that this passage to death ultimately leads to glory. Scripture says, And the world passes away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever(1 John 2:17).In today’s Gospel, the Lord Jesus...

    NORTH OLMSTED, Ohio — Are shopping malls on their last leg and nearing extinction? It’s a question consumer experts have been asking for years. However, recent data shows indoor and outdoor malls are actually showing positive gains and nearing a comeback here in Northeast Ohio.

In a podcast interview on Tuesday, Bankman-Fried was asked how much money he might donate during the next presidential election cycle, answering he’d give “north of $100 million” with a “soft ceiling” of $1 billion if he were to bankroll the person running against former president Donald Trump: “I would hate to say hard ceiling because who knows what’s going to happen between now and...

    Former US President Donald Trump has filed a lawsuit challenging a subpoena from the House committee investigating the January 6, 2021 attack on the US Capitol, saying he has "absolute immunity" and will not testify next week, AFP reported. Trump's lawyers described the subpoena as "invalid, unlawful and unenforceable" in the lawsuit filed on Friday, arguing the former President still enjoys executive privilege nearly 22 months after leaving office, and cannot be compelled by Congress to appear. The January 6 committee has ordered Trump to appear for a deposition in person by Monday, which includes providing an extensive list of...

    In what is turning out to be a major national embarrassment, Arizona still has over 600,000 ballots left to count which is over a quarter of the total number of votes. The vote count has been stalled at about 70% counted for the past two days and Republicans are rightly outraged. Voters also faced problems with ballot scanners when they voted in person on Tuesday in Maricopa County. Both Kari Lake and Blake Masters trail slightly to Democrats in their races and many are questioning why the votes are not being counted. Maricopa County tweeted an apology for the scanner...
