The U.S. Supreme Court is weighing whether to review a lower court ruling that struck down a law prohibiting domestic abusers from possessing guns. Speaking as someone who has represented families of women and children killed by domestic abusers with guns, the potential danger of this decision is hard to overstate. But under recent Supreme Court Second Amendment precedent, that danger is treated as virtually irrelevant.

On Tuesday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Hannity,” Harvard Law Professor Alan Dershowitz argued that the judge who has to approve of Hunter Biden’s plea deal needs to call Attorney General Merrick Garland, U.S. Attorney David Weiss, and the six witnesses who whistleblower Gary Shapley’s legal team say can corroborate his statements before accepting the deal. Dershowitz said, “[T]he judge who is sentencing Hunter Biden and who has to approve of the plea deal, must call Garland, must call Weiss, must call these six witnesses, and must say, look, Hunter Biden’s lawyers, we know you want the deal to...

Dr. Peter Hotez made headlines the last two weeks for refusing to debate author, activist, presidential candidate, and attorney Robert Kennedy, Jr. on the effectiveness of the COVID19 vaccines. Rather than accept the challenge Hotez lashed out at both Robert Kennedy Jr. and Joe Rogan who invited the two to debate the facts on his show. Hotez refused and smeared Robert Kennedy, Jr. instead. A week ago Hotez actually said, “Science is not something that is typically debated.” What a fraud.

There are a number of definitions of "sweetheart deal." They include: 1. An industrial agreement made between an employer and local labor union officials containing terms beneficial to the employer without the knowledge of the employees, typically in exchange for money to the union or its leaders.2. Any kind of agreement or contract that is mutually beneficial two the two parties directly involved, typically at the expense of a third party that is not privy to the agreement.But it seems to me that the most applicable one is this one a deal made between friends so that both may profit...

A 19-year-old man has been charged in the killing of popular California bakery owner Jennifer Angel who was dragged to her death by a getaway car during a robbery gone wrong. But her family is calling for no jail time because it "goes against her social justice beliefs". "Anarchist" baker Angel was robbed while in her car in the 2000 block of Webster Street, in Oakland, on February 6. The robber ran to a waiting car to flee. Angel attempted to retrieve her belongings and was knocked to the ground during a struggle, according to police. Angel became caught in...

Testimony from two separate IRS whistleblowers who worked on the Hunter Biden tax evasion case was released with surprisingly few redactions by Ways and Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith (MO-08) on June 22. Their testimony candidly reveals an FBI and a DOJ that repeatedly seems to have interfered in the investigation of Hunter Biden’s alleged tax crimes for political reasons. Hunter Biden allegedly attempted to “evade or defeat taxes,” made false statements, allegedly committed fraud, and purposely “failed to file returns or pay taxes for over $8.3 million in income.” He eventually struck a plea deal that would most likely...

Emails obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request show that Centers for Disease Control (CDC) Director Rochelle Walensky, former National Institutes of Health (NIH) Director Francis Collins, and Dr. Anthony Fauci knew as early as January of 2021 that many of those getting the covid vaccines were still getting infected and dying from the disease. Yet for months afterward, Walensky publicly insisted that "vaccinated people don't carry the virus and don't get sick." In September of 2021--nine months after the CDC knew the vaccines didn't prevent infection or illness--President Biden ordered all companies employing 100 or more workers to...

The Moms for Liberty Joyful Warriors National Summit starts on June 29 in Philadelphia, but controversy surrounding the event has been brewing for weeks in the City of Brotherly Love. Six Democrat members of the Pennsylvania Senate sent a letter imploring the Museum of the American Revolution to cancel the Moms for Liberty event planned there for June 29 through July 2. “Moms for Liberty, put plainly, is a hate group,” the June 20 letter said. “This is not hyperbole—on June, 6, 2023, the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) designated Moms for Liberty a hate group, and specifically, as an...

More Americans in a new Gallup poll say they believe that the COVID-19 pandemic is over, though fewer than half of those surveyed said their lives are back to normal. The survey, published on Wednesday, found that 64 percent of respondents said that the COVID-19 pandemic is over, while 36 percent think otherwise. In February, 49 percent of respondents said that they believed the once-global pandemic was over. Along political party lines, 84 percent of Republican respondents in the new poll said that they believe the pandemic is over, as did 65 percent of independents and 51 percent of Democrats.

An Arizona county elections director resigned from her position on Tuesday after accusing officials of politicizing elections and creating a harmful work environment. The Pinal County government announced the resignation of Elections Director Geraldine Roll, who stepped into the position to oversee the recount process after the 2022 midterm election. In a scathing email sent on Tuesday, Roll announced her resignation, expressing her dissatisfaction with County Manager Leo Lew and the toxic work environment she claimed to experience. “With no regrets, I quit,” Roll wrote, highlighting her decision as a result of losing respect for her superiors and their failure...

Ford will begin another round of layoffs this week impacting jobs in the U.S. and Canada, the automaker confirmed to FOX Business on Tuesday. While the company did not disclose how many employees would lose their jobs, Ford spokesperson T.R. Reid said the actions are related to the manufacturer’s growth plan introduced in 2021, which Ford has been increasingly implementing over the past year.

VIDEORight now Gavin Newsom is in the news because many think demented Joe Biden will be forced to drop out of the running for the 2024 election either due to flat out corruption or mental incompetence. However, what those hyping Newsom as the successor are conveniently overlooking is Newsom's own mental issues. In this video we see Newsom when he was mayor of San Francisco being forced to apologize for boffing the wife of his chief of staff. Yeah, his top trusted aide who it turns out could not trust Newsom to keep his hands off his wife. You will...

The Bible In Paintings ~ Encouragement for Appreciating and Applying God's Word ~ The Best of MICHELANGELO “MICHELANGELO DI LODOVICO BUONARROTI SIMONI (1475 – 1564), known as MICHELANGELO, was an Italian sculptor, painter, architect, and poet of the High Renaissance. His work was inspired by models from classical antiquity and had a lasting influence on Western art. Michelangelo's creative abilities and mastery in a range of artistic arenas define him as an archetypal Renaissance man, along with his rival and elder contemporary, Leonardo da Vinci. “Michelangelo achieved fame early; two of his best-known works, the Pietà and David, were...

An anonymous developer has created a ChatGPT client for Windows 3.1, because some people like to keep one foot firmly in the past even as they explore the future. WinGPT was written in C, using the standard Windows API and compiled with Open Watcom v2. It runs on any 16-bit or 32-bit version of Windows from Windows 3.1 onward, so should get you all the way from Windows 95 to Windows 7 – including Windows 98, Windows Me and Windows XP. One proviso is that it won't run without Winsock – the dialup-era essential that teaches Windows how to speak...

A State of Martial Law: America Is a Military Dictatorship Disguised as a Democracy“What country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance?”—Thomas JeffersonThe government is goosestepping all over our freedoms.Case in point: America’s founders did not want a military government ruled by force. Rather, they opted for a republic bound by the rule of law: the U.S. Constitution.Yet sometime over the course of the past 240-plus years that constitutional republic has been transformed into a military dictatorship disguised as a democracy.Most Americans seem relatively untroubled...

U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg warned Friday of potential delays starting July 1 for airplanes that have not yet had radio altimeters updated to address potential 5G C-Band interference and urged them to adjust schedules if needed.

We frequently evoke the ideals of American excellence and exceptionalism. But earlier this week when I visited Kensington, Pennsylvania , what I saw was a third-world reality within our own country. Those needle-ridden streets are the direct consequence of a porous southern border and disastrous domestic policies that pay people to do the opposite of what we want them to do. What I witnessed revealed to me the profound reality of the double consciousness that permeates our nation — the stark contrast between the grand ideals we champion versus the harsh realities faced by those dwelling in the depths of...

Shocking video captured a 69-year-old California woman being dragged by a robber’s car as she tried desperately to prevent him from making off with her Gucci shades – later saying she’d do it all over again. The woman was enjoying a snack as she sat in her parked red Ford Mustang on Broadway in Alameda about 3 p.m. Sunday when a white car stopped behind her and the driver walked up to her, KTVU reported. He reached inside her vehicle, grabbed her purse – containing her pricey Gucci prescription sunglasses – and ran back to his car, according to the...

The Condescender-in-Chief is at it again. Just weeks after Barack Obama — the descendent of Africans and white people — dared to criticize Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) — the descendent of actual slaves and a son of the state where the Civil War started — for being optimistic about the state of race in America today, the former president weighed in on what he thinks spurs on “right-wing populism.” In an interview with Christiane Amanpour on CNN, Obama said, “It’s very hard to sustain a democracy when you have such massive concentrations of wealth.” He went on to blather about...
