The Gun Free School Zone Act (GFSZA) has a challenge in federal court; the case is USA v. Metcalf in Montana. It is a full-fledged game on!The case was covered early and in-depth by AmmoLand. It seems such a slam-dunk for the Second Amendment, a major question was: would the United States Attorney for Montana see the case as a loser and, rather than risk a major Second Amendment win, simply dismiss the case?AmmoLand was one of the first to cover the USA v Metcalf case. AmmoLand coverage has been far better than any other outlet. Russel A. Hart is...

Gov. Andy Beshear has won the Kentucky governor’s race, beating his Trump-endorsed challenger, Republican Attorney General Daniel Cameron, to secure a second term. *** The 45-year-old Beshear, son of former Kentucky governor Steve Beshear, is the first Democratic governor to win reelection in the commonwealth since 2011, when his father accomplished the same feat. *** In one of the nation’s most expensive political campaigns, where nearly $74 million was raised and spent, Beshear maintained a high level of popularity in his first term as governor despite being a Democrat in Kentucky’s increasingly Republican-leaning political climate. In his re-election pitch to...

Bridgeport Mayor Joe Ganim squeaked out a narrow victory Tuesday night in a highly anticipated rematch against his top challenger, John Gomes, but the win could be merely symbolic due to a recent court order that tossed out the results of the city’s earlier Democratic mayoral primary. Ganim, a Democrat who returned to office in 2015 after serving a seven-year prison sentence on federal corruption charges, unofficially captured 176 more votes than Gomes, who worked in Ganim’s administration prior to mounting a primary challenge against the incumbent mayor this year. “This is more the continuation of a course of progress...

his winter, New York won't be using electric snow plows. Failure of vehicle tests has caused the local snow removal company to revert to diesel-powered vehicles. The New York Department of Sanitation had three years ago, requested several Mack electric trucks. Primarily intended to clean streets and remove garbage, one of these trucks had been fitted with a snow plow as part of an experiment. This decision was unsurprising since in the "Big Apple", it's standard practice to fit garbage trucks with plows. The experiment was not successful. The plow, dragging across the road and the snow buildup in front...

California Democrat Rep. Adam Schiff allegedly claimed a primary residence in Maryland for years despite his goal to represent Golden State residents in the Senate. All while owning a 3,420-square-foot home in Maryland, Schiff has reportedly taken a homeowner’s tax exemption on a smaller 650-square-foot condo he owns and designates as his primary residence in Burbank, California. By claiming his California home as his primary residence, Schiff was able to receive a $7,000 reduction in his property assessment – an estimated $70 in annual savings from property taxes, according to a CNN report. In California, each county collects a general...

"Cain brought an offering to the Lord of the fruit of the ground. And Abel . . . brought of the firstlings of his flock and of their fat portions. And the Lord had regard for Abel and for his offering; but for Cain and for his offering He had no regard" (Gen. 4:3-5). True discipleship is characterized by obedience to God’s Word. In John 8:31 Jesus issued an important statement to a group of people who were showing an interest in Him: "If you abide in My word, then you are truly disciples of Mine." Sadly, they rejected His...

Glenn Youngkin in his final two years in office. The GOP also lost control of Virginia’s House of Delegates, with Democrats set to win at least 51 seats in the 100-member lower chamber.

"For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: "(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) " Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ." "But he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord. "For not he that commendeth himself is approved, but whom the Lord commendeth." ☰ Matthew 1 1 And when they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and were come to Bethphage,...

In a wide-ranging interview focusing on the deplorable state of America’s current leadership, General Michael Flynn suggested that members of Congress are being blackmailed by globalists to do their bidding because they’ve been “compromised by sleeping with children.”The former National Security Adviser for the Trump administration sketched a stark picture of Washington, D.C. as one under siege by hostile forces, where those holding the highest offices in the land are Marxists at heart, true believers in the globalist agenda:Our country is being taken over, and we are in desperate need of strong leaders to rise up through this mess and...
