Office of Public Affairs The Justice Department launched the National Extreme Risk Protection Order (ERPO) Resource Center (the Center) which will provide training and technical assistance to law enforcement officials, prosecutors, attorneys, judges, clinicians, victim service and social service providers, community organizations, and behavioral health professionals responsible for implementing laws designed to keep guns out of the hands of people who pose a threat to themselves or others.

During portions of an interview with Fox News Senior Congressional Correspondent Chad Pergram on Friday that were aired on Friday’s broadcast of “Fox News @ Night,” Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-MI) stated that the push by Republicans to have votes on amendments to the government funding bill on the Laken Riley Act and banning charter flights for illegal immigrants “is all politics,” and “a waste of time, it’s a waste of money, and I think it’s really irresponsible.” Pergram said the amendments involve “the Laken Riley Act and the plan to bar charter flights for illegal immigrants, but Democrats said no....

Stock have notched a string of record highs this year, driven by a tech frenzy and high federal spending that have blotted out all else, Bill Gross wrote in his latest investment outlook.It's these factors that have spurred the S&P 500 up over 20% since mid-2022, even as interest rates tightened aggressively in the same timeframe, sending Treasury yields higher.And the trend isn't going away anytime soon, he asserted: "Buckle up for excessive exuberance."Typically, bond yields will decline ahead of stock euphoria. For instance, the Nasdaq 100 increased twelvefold after the 10-year real rate fell from 2% to negative 1%...

I heard a new song last weekend called “Soul Of The Machine.” It’s a simple, old-timey number in E minor with a standard blues chord progression (musicians in the know would call it a 1-4-5 progression). In it, a voice sings about being a trapped soul with a heart that once beat but is now cold and weak. “Soul Of The Machine” is not a real song at all. Or is it? It’s getting harder to say. Whatever it is, it’s the creation of Suno, an AI tool from a startup of the same name focused on music generation. Rolling...

Russia has announced the arrest of eleven individuals, including four who are suspected of carrying out a deadly shooting at a concert hall near Moscow, marking the most lethal incident of its kind in the country in two decades. -snip- The Federal Security Service (FSB) of Russia has reported the apprehension of the “four terrorists” as they were allegedly attempting to cross into Ukraine, repeatedly mentioning that the suspects had connections within Ukraine. They are currently being transported to Moscow for further investigation. Maria Zakharova, a spokeswoman for the Russian Foreign Ministry, expressed on Telegram that the suspects had intended...

Says a ‘window’ was prepared for them to cross the northern border of Ukraine

WASHINGTON, Tuesday, March 22. The prospect of a speedy return of the people of Arkansas to loyalty and submission daily brightens. Through recent intelligence received here, it is known that two Judges of State Courts under the Confederate rule have voluntarily come forward and taken the oath of allegiance, and a third was on his way to do likewise. ALBERT PIKE writes a pertinent epistle to his wife, hinting in quite strong terms his desire to return to ABRAHAM's bosom, but expresses his doubts if he can do so under the Amnesty Proclamation. Gen. STEELE has informed Mrs. PIKE that...

“Reserved for a King” (Mark 11:1-10) Our story today starts out with “a colt tied.” As our text says, “You will find a colt tied.” But no, I’m not talking about finding Peyton Manning tied with Brett Favre at 186 regular-season wins. This is not about an Indianapolis Colt. This is about a different colt, in a different town, tied in a different way. The colt I’m talking about is the one that Jesus uses to ride into Jerusalem on. Jesus sends two of his disciples ahead to get it: “Go into the village in front of you, and immediately...

One of my mentors was a cousin by marriage who was a biophysicist, prominent too - he was terraforming Mars with NASA when he died. He and his wife Jane were founding professors at York University. Jane had travelled by bus to Idi Amin’s Uganda to research her doctorate from the London School of Economics, proceeded to a law degree, and he ended his career as head of the Royal Society. God gave me my terrifying parents, but he also gave me Bob and Jane and I would fall on them periodically, sleep in his basement study, lined with tribal...

What the hell is this evil? A Federal Red Flag center; We did not authorize this. Announced, of course, just hours after the omnibus passes.

That number of ER visits is up 50% from 2016 through 2022, the Los Angeles Times reports. However, during that same period, the number of skiers and snowboarders hitting the slopes remained mostly the same in California. “It’s a wonderful sport, but if you ask me, I notice a bit of a difference in courtesy,” said Joann Shimizu Wood, a Southern California resident who has been skiing since 1976. “We used to say, as we were coming downhill to whoever was downhill from us, ‘On your right! On your left!’ as we’re passing them.” Wood said she now hardly ever...

Former CNN CEO Chris Licht was spotted during Oscars week seemingly without a care in the world at the San Vicente Bungalows, Hollywood’s starriest private club. The ousted news exec was seen solo in the corner of the Los Angeles club’s private open air library, texting away on his phone with his feet up. Maybe Licht’s had the last laugh after all? The self-proclaimed “most trusted name in news” is fighting an uphill battle to remain relevant two years after Discovery took it over, sources tell us. Anderson Cooper remains as the network’s only primetime star after CNN axed Chris...

8.6 million people in England were prescribed antidepressants in 2022 to 2023. This is the double the number since 2011. Can you explain this increase, the motivations driving the overprescription of psychiatric drugs and the problems attached to them? Are human emotions being misdiagnosed as mental illness? We are witnessing the effects of mass conditioning amongst western societies to medicalise the human condition in efforts to increase the customer base for psychiatric drugs. Financially, it’s a numbers game for the pharmaceutical executives. The more people identifying with “mental illness”, the more pills they can sell. It's a profit-driven initiative, and...

Kremlin propagandist Margarita Simonyan has accused Western intelligence of "direct participation" in a massacre at a Moscow concert hall that has killed at least 115 people and left hundreds injured. The Islamic State group has claimed responsibility for Friday night's attack on Crocus City Hall in which armed men entered and opened fire. The U.S., which had warned of an imminent terrorist attack this month, said that theory is credible. However, in a post on Telegram and X, Simonyan, who is editor-in-chief of the RT channel and an ally of Vladimir Putin wrote: "Western intelligence agencies knew yesterday that the...

The concept of mental health is a hypochondriac’s, narcissist’s, shirker’s and social security fraud’s charter: for who can prove that someone does not so feel depressed, anxious or grief-stricken that he is unable to work? Who can distinguish between “can’t,” “won’t” and “would rather not”? Unfortunately, mental health has come to mean any deviance from a state of perfect equanimity and satisfaction Fragile mental health, and especially mental health issues, are said to be preventing large numbers of young people from working, with British people in their early twenties now more likely to be out of work than people in...

Eighteen-year-old Ash Cooper, formerly Joshua Cooper, was sentenced to 15 to 40 years in a Pennsylvania state prison after pleading guilty to murdering a 12-year-old girl in November 2022.

When I read the constant exhortations from Joe Biden, Anthony Blinken, and others urging Israel to enter into a cease-fire with its mortal enemies and to participate in a “two-state solution” with those who have sworn to destroy it, I cannot help but reflect on the advice from General of the Armies Douglas MacArthur — lhard and bloody lessons learned in the Pacific from 1941 to 1945:“From the Far East, I send you one single thought, one sole idea – written in red on every beachhead from Australia to Tokyo – ‘there is no substitute for victory.’”Biden thinks he knows...

Four unnamed sources from the Russian President’s administration and the Ministry of Defence told the news website Verstka that a new wave of mobilized troops could soon be sent to Ukraine. These soldiers will likely comprise reservists and existing conscripts who will be “cajoled” into signing new contracts once their current tour of duty ends. “Something is coming. Reservists are being recruited now, the same as before the last mobilization. Whether the mobilization will happen or not, I don’t know, but last time the procedure was the same,” an officer from one of the military units in the Zabaikal region,...

WASHINGTON—The Senate missed its midnight deadline to approve a $1.2 trillion package funding federal agencies but passed the measure in the early hours of Saturday morning, averting a government shutdown. The passage of the measure in a 74 to 24 vote wrapped up months of drama in Congress that centered on conservatives’ demands for deeper spending cuts, completing work on funding the government through the end of the fiscal year in September. The measure, which passed the House on Friday, now goes to President Biden for his signature. “It’s been a long day, a long week, a very long few...
