The Biden administration has launched a two-pronged attack against the right to bear arms in America – and Congressional Republicans made it possible. Regardless of what certain lawmakers intended, and despite all their assurances this wouldn’t happen, the Biden administration is using the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act (BSCA) of 2022 to both bribe states into creating red flag laws and withhold federal funding for schools with hunting and archery programs. So the Biden administration is buying gun control at the state level. Shocked? Don’t be. This isn’t the first time federal funding has been used to control the states. Safer...

Bernalillo County Sheriff John Allen physically fought and detained a suspected shoplifter on Friday evening while with his family at a sporting goods store on the West Side. BCSO said on Twitter that Allen "found himself facing an unexpected situation" when he spotted three people stuffing merchandise into duffel bags "with the intent to steal" at Dick's Sporting Goods near Cottonwood Mall.

This week, members of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) held a press conference to highlight how Blacks are under assault in America. Examples cited by CBC Chairman Rep. Steven Horsford (D-Nev) included "Alabama's refusal to create a second majority-Black congressional district and Florida's new education guidelines requiring that students be told of the valuable work skills Blacks learned as slaves." "It isn't only state level Republicans who are to blame," Horsford complained. "Rep. Eli Crane (R-Ariz) used the words 'colored people' to refer to Blacks and Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala) says it's okay for white nationalists to serve in the...

JUST FOR TODAY As I go through some "troubles" in my own life, I've worked out this "formula" to help me be a useful and happy person. See if it doesn't work for you! JUST FOR TODAY: I will try to live through this day only, and not tackle my whole life problem at once. JUST FOR TODAY: I will be happy. I will assume to be true what Abraham Lincoln said: "Most folks are as happy as they make up their minds to be". JUST FOR TODAY: I will try to strengthen my mind. I will study. I...

Brain-damaged Democrat Senator John Fetterman (PA) short-circuited during an interview with the New York Times this week. Fetterman, 53, spent two months at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center receiving treatment for clinical depression this year after having a massive stroke last May. John Fetterman has brain damage and can barely string a sentence together. The New York Times asked Fetterman how he has adjusted to life as a senator. “Everyone here is cynical, of course. But we can fight for things that are meaningful. That we should have no hungry. Hanger. Hangry. Hanger. Hangry,” Fetterman said. “Fox News will...

On Friday, James O’Keefe published his interview with Democratic presidential candidate Robert Kennedy, Jr. The two luminaries discussed lawsuits, Anthony Fauci, Fear as a political tool, the FBI, the presidency and more. The interview was posted on Twitter and YouTube. Unfortunately, YouTube took the video down saying, “This video has been removed for violating YouTube’s Community Guidelines.” YouTube is doing its best to interfere in the 2024 election. They are afraid of Robert Kennedy, Jr. The more you hear him the more you agree. Again, this is election interference.

Last week’s tussles between state officials and a pair of Southern California school boards may have died down, but they’ve thrown a spotlight on deeper tensions over who makes decisions for local schools — a rift that’s likely to grow as the culture wars escalate

It’s not at all surprising that a powerful, corrupt political family may want to threaten someone who is about to “sing” to authorities under oath. According to a source close to Hunter Biden, who is expected to provide Congress with explosive information against the Biden family, the former best buddy, and partner in business is now “in hiding” after getting “threats.” Devon Archer, 49, admitted to pals that he had to leave both his Long Island and Brooklyn homes but that he still intended to go before the House Oversight Committee on Monday. .....

The Iowa affiliate of the Republican National Committee (RNC) and the organizers of the RNC Lincoln Day Dinner in Des Moines, thought they would be cute by using a snarky song for the entrance music of President Donald John Trump.Relax, we got this. There are more of us than them, and they hate us for it. Their efforts are laughable and will backfire as base voters are wide-eyed and awake to the Machiavellian constructs the RNC is famous for in their quest to control the illusion of choice. The RNC is as fake and phony as the astroturf under the...

I have calloused hands and never hide my pride in my blue-collar, non-pretending, life. I can say with certainty, the rustbelt is forever lost to the professional Republican Party. The GOP club, like the DNC club, is dead in the wake of the great MAGA insurgency. Politicians representing the high-minded and pontificating professional Republican class will never again win an election in the rustbelt.The collapse of the Republican Party in the rustbelt is entirely due to the professionally Republican politicians aligning with economic policies that destroyed the middle class within the region. This is MAGA country now; a place where...

Lynne Patton, a senior adviser to former President Donald Trump, appeared on Breitbart News Saturday, where she discussed Trump’s commitment to combatting child trafficking on the heels of the recent viewing of the blockbuster film Sound of Freedom at his golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey. Patton told host Matthew Boyle, Breitbart News’s Washington bureau chief, that Trump intends to reinstate Title 42 on day one, with the aim of combatting child trafficking if he returns to the Oval Office. The Biden administration allowed the program to expire in May. “On day one when Trump gets back in office in...

Scientists discovered a female microscopic roundworm that has been stuck deep in Siberian permafrost for 46,000 years, The Washington Post reported. When they revived it, the worm started having babies via a process called parthenogenesis, which doesn't require a mate. According to a press release, the worm spent thousands of years in a type of dormancy called cryptobiosis. In that state, which can last almost indefinitely, all metabolic processes pause, including "reproduction, development, and repair," the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa reported. In a study published Thursday in the journal PLOS Genetics, scientists reported that after sequencing the worm's genome,...

Concerns about the potential impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on the entertainment industry have played a significant role in the ongoing Hollywood strike by actors and writers. That hasn’t stopped companies with studios from staffing up with AI specialists. While the strike by actors and writers reflects a broader set of concerns beyond the impact of AI on the entertainment industry, including pay and benefits, the threat posed by the emerging and increasingly sophisticated technology has raised alarm. Actors have expressed fears about AI being used to replicate an actor’s image and likeness without the actor’s consent, while writers have...

On the day that Hunter Biden was scheduled to go to court, the U.S. government conveniently decided to hold a big congressional extravaganza on UFOs, complete with sketchy “whistleblowers” who claim the government is hiding dead aliens. Of course, many folks on the right saw this as nothing more than a coordinated distraction maneuver, similar to how they “re-arrest” President Trump every time Joe has a scandal pop up. Although, overall, the feeling from a lot of Americans was rather “meh.” Check out the overwhelming vibe on TikTok:

Governor J.B. Pritzker (D-IL) signed a bill on Friday that will allow foreign nationals in the state to become police officers.
