Senate Bill 2, authored by Senator Anthony J. Portantino (D – Burbank), was signed by Governor Newsom. The law implements significant improvements to strengthen California’s concealed gun permit law, commonly called CCWs. SB 2 is sponsored by Governor Newsom and Attorney General Bonta. Both worked collaboratively with the Senator to craft California’s response to the recent Supreme Court ruling that made it easier for citizens to acquire CCW permits. “I am grateful for Governor Newsom’s bold leadership on gun safety and thank him for signing SB 2,” stated Senator Portantino. “I was proud to partner with the Governor, Attorney General...

Ukraine’s controversial transgender spokesperson Sarah Ashton-Cirillo has claimed to have been reinstated in the role representing the Territorial Defence Forces (TDF) after being suspended last month. “I continue in the role of TDF spokesperson. Truth, trust, and humanity will always prevail over accusations, allegations, and artificial intelligence,” Ashton-Cirillo said on Tuesday. The American citizen, born as Michael John Cirillo before ‘transitioning’, went on to claim to have signed two book contracts with Potomac Books publishing, with the first volume set to be released in the summer of next year. “The last weeks of allegations and accusations have created new and...

Seven school districts in California have defied Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) by adopting policies requiring schools to notify parents when their children express a desire to change genders. As Breitbart News has reported, Newsom’s administration is suing the Chino Valley school district in Riverside County for adopting a parental notification policy — even though polls show that 84% of California voters support the idea that parents have a right to know. When asked by Breitbart News last week why parents do not have the right to know, Newsom offered no answer, other than claiming that climate change was a bigger...

My dear friends, our nation is in dire need of national repentance and a return back to the old paths! At America's current and present estate, our nation will indeed implode if Almighty God's Divine instructions for repentance are ignored and rejected! President Trump - in all humility and in black sackcloth - needs to call on Almighty God publically and nationally with ALL fear and reverence on behalf of our nation! That to me is our total last line of defense against the fall of America and the total takeover of the horrific demonic powers that be (1 Kings...

London (CNN) — Shares in UK lender Metro Bank sank as much as 31% Thursday following a report that it was urgently seeking to raise funds to shore up its finances. The Financial Times reported that the bank was in talks with investors to raise £250 million ($303 million) in equity and £350 million ($424 million) in debt, citing people with knowledge of the plan. Metro Bank opened in 2010 as the first challenger to Britain’s major main street banks — including Lloyds (LYG), Barclays (BCS) and HSBC (HSBC) — in more than 100 years. It declined to comment on...

Former GOP Rep. Adam Kinzinger (Ill.) predicted Wednesday that Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) will become the next Speaker of the House, a spot currently vacant after Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) was ousted from it on Tuesday. In an interview on CNN’s “AC-360,” Kinzinger said he expects that the candidacy of Jordan — who has entered the race for Speaker along with House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.), McCarthy’s longtime No. 2 — will become a “new litmus test” for conservatives. “Jim is going to be now the new litmus test of: Are you a true conservative or not? Steve Scalise...

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton (D) said Tuesday she doesn’t “understand” Americans who support Russian President Vladimir Putin in his war against Ukraine. “I don’t understand any American siding with Putin, but we’ve seen it and we’ve heard it and we have to fight against it,” Clinton said in an interview with PBS NewsHour’s Geoff Bennett. Clinton was asked by Bennett about a “growing” divide in American politics over funding and support for Ukraine in their fight against Russia and how she thinks the Russian leader views it. She said she thinks Putin is “thrilled” about this divide.

The men and women who put themselves in harm’s way to keep America safe deserve to have clean, comfortable, sanitary barracks. That should be the bare minimum our military should be able to promise them. Instead, according to a new report published Tuesday from the Government Accountability Office, inspections of 12 military installations found squalid hovel-like conditions — something that, according to Military.com, “confirm[s]] complaints made by many service members for many years.” The report, which ran nearly 100 pages, detailed the grotesque conditions our troops face: mold, sewage, brown water, bedbugs and even squatters. “Service members reported to GAO...

The Biden administration has paved the way for the construction of a new wall along the southern border in Texas by waiving more than a dozen federal laws in a stark reversal of its previous stance on the physical barrier. The Department of Homeland Security announced the plan to bypass long drawn-out environmental reviews in order to expedite border wall construction in Starr County, TX as the administration struggles to handle an ongoing migrant crisis that has strained local and federal resources. The area where construction is planned has seen “high illegal entry,” according to authorities. “There is presently an...

The Costs and Casualties of Government’s Information Total War“I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it,”This phrase, misattributed to Voltaire, has largely come to dominate—and confuse—our understanding of the importance of free speech in a free society. That misunderstanding seems to be at the heart of the very lukewarm response elicited by the exposure of “the most massive attack against free speech in United States’ history” unearthed through discovery in Missouri v. Biden now before the Supreme Court. The trouble with this framing of free speech is that it focuses...

Hunter Biden reportedly racked up at least $10 million in legal bills over the past five years, as he potentially spends millions more defending himself from an impeachment inquiry and three gun charges. The legal bills are a combination of fees incurred from the Justice Department’s probe, his divorce, disputed paternity agreement, along with his multitude of lawsuits against his critics, people familiar with the figure told CNN. Legal experts told Breitbart News in December that Hunter Biden’s high-powered legal defense could cost him more than $100,000 per month.

Democrat President Joe Biden has nominated his son Hunter’s former business associate to serve as special counsel. Biden nominated Hampton Dellinger who previously worked alongside Hunter while he served on the board of Ukrainian energy company Burisma Holdings. The White House announced the move in a Tuesday press release. Dellinger will replace Henry Kerner, whose term as the position’s current occupant expires. The Office of Special Counsel is primarily responsible for safeguarding the “merit system by protecting federal employees and applicants from prohibited personnel practices, especially reprisal for whistleblowing,” its website states. Dellinger was previously nominated by Biden as an...

A tech conference for women and non-binary workers in the field last week was overrun by men, where an organizer said some unwelcome guests falsely claimed to be "non-binary" to make it in. And some onlookers watched the ensuing outcry unfold with amusement and a lack of sympathy. "You have to admit it's pretty funny watching a dude yelling about dudes being dudes," said "Outnumbered" guest Ben Ferguson on Wednesday. Indeed, Cullen White, Chief Impact Officer of the group that organized the seminar, AnitaB, chastised attendees for having "lied" about their gender.

A man charged in the downtown murder of a prominent Chattanooga businessman has been arrested 66 times, court records show. The most that Darryl Theophilus "Too Tall" Roberts served on any of the cases was a six-month term, the records say. In May, 2010, police said Roberts fired six shots through a bedroom door at an apartment on Hixson Pike. A man was behind the door and four children were in an adjacent bedroom, but no one was hurt. In that case he was charged with two counts of attempted first-degree murder, aggravated burglary, reckless endangerment, possession of a firearm...

As the Defense Department is pushing aggressively to modernize its forces using fully autonomous drones and weapons systems, critics fear the start of a new arms race that could dramatically raise the risk of mass destruction, nuclear war and civilian casualties. The Pentagon and military tech industry are going into overdrive in a massive effort to scale out existing technology in what has been the Replicator initiative. It envisions a future force in which fully autonomous systems are deployed in flying drones, aircraft, water vessels and defense systems — connected through a computerized mainframe to synchronize and command units. Arms...

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’s fundraising woes continued last quarter with his campaign committee only raising $5 million for the Republican presidential primary contest. An additional $10 million the campaign committee says it raised can only be used for the 2024 general election according to U.S. campaign finance laws.
