U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy issued a health advisory on Tuesday declaring gun violence a public health crisis as a wave of mass shootings throughout the U.S. escalates concerns over the fast-growing death and injury tolls attributable to guns. “Firearm violence is an urgent public health crisis that has led to loss of life, unimaginable pain, and profound grief for far too many Americans,” Murthy said in a statement. “We don’t have to continue down this path, and we don’t have to subject our children to the ongoing horror of firearm violence in America. All Americans deserve to live their...

Proverbs 4:23 Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life. Jesus talked a lot about the heart of man like in Mark 4 in the parable of the sower where he talked about a sower going out to sow. The seed is the word of God (Mark 4:14) and those seeds bear fruit (Mark 4:20) And these are they which are sown on good ground; such as hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some an hundred. The ground is the heart of man. So,...

Judge Cannon on Tuesday held a final day of hearings on Jack Smith’s classified documents case against President Trump. President Trump’s lawyers filed a flurry of motions to dismiss Jack Smith’s case. Judge Cannon scheduled an expanded hearing to allow both sides to present their cases. Cannon did not issue any rulings after Tuesday’s hearing concluded. One of Jack Smith’s prosecutors threw a tantrum and accused Trump’s attorneys of “hijacking” the hearing. Judge Cannon interrupted Smith’s prosecutor David Harbach and put him in his place. “There is no hijacking going on — it’s about to end,” Judge Aileen Cannon responded,...

The CIA interfered in the 2020 election by colluding with the Biden campaign to discredit the Hunter Biden laptop story, a congressional report found Tuesday. “It’s inappropriate for a currently serving staff officer or contractor to be involved in the political process,” former CIA Deputy Director Michael Morell acknowledged to Congress during its investigation of the incident. In 2020, 51 ex-spies signed an infamous letter that called reporting on Hunter’s laptop “Russian disinformation” ahead of the election. Current Secretary of State Antony Blinken allegedly coordinated the story for political purposes.CNN reporter Natasha Bertrand wrote the infamous, and now discredited, Politico...

Freepers did an OUTSTANDING job in Q1 when Free Republic had to collect almost $20,000 in TEN DAYS to make the budget! Many donated even though it 'hurt' and some FReepers even donated TWICE to get us across the finish line - we couldn't have made it without that kind of loyalty and generosity. Amazing. I thank God for blessing us with FR, Jim and Chris, and the FReepers who get the job done.Looking at Q2, I see FReepers have already donateted $69,598 (THANK YOU DEAR FREEPERS!). However, we're in the same tight spot as we were in for Q1...

HOUSTON, Texas — Little Jocelyn Nungaray fought back against her attackers after she was lured under a Houston bridge and assaulted for two hours — leaving scratch and bite marks on one of the illegal migrants who is accused of killing her, prosecutors revealed Tuesday. Johan Jose Martinez-Rangel, 21, still had the marks Jocelyn left on him when he was arrested, Assistant District Attorney Megan Long said in a Harris County court. Martinez-Rangel’s alleged accomplice, Franklin Jose Peña Ramos, 26, told cops he tried to convince Martinez-Rangel to stop but he allegedly refused and climbed on top of the girl...

[Catholic Caucus] A University Student Reflects on His Discovery of and Love for the TLMSubmitted to Rorate by a graduate of Franciscan University of Steubenville who has just completed his Masters degree.Over the past week there has been abundant speculation and commentary on the possibility of yet another Vatican ban on the Traditional Latin Mass, or the Mass of the Ages. This should come as no surprise. The fides qua of these faithful devotees to the TLM are primarily at odds with what has come from the Vatican in recent years.[1] Rumors of another act against the TLM, while not...

Records reveal that the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) has been sharing information from thousands of Americans’ letters and packages with law enforcement over the past decade. This practice, known as the “mail covers program,” involves conveying details from the outside of boxes and envelopes to federal agents and police officers without requiring a court order. Postal inspectors fulfill such requests primarily to aid in finding fugitives or investigating crimes. Notably, 97% of these requests were approved, covering days or weeks of mail sent to or from specific individuals or addresses.

A wealthy white West Virginia couple forced their adopted black children to work as slaves and sleep in a barn, according to disturbing charges. Donald Lantz and Jeanne Whitefeather, pleaded not guilty to more than a dozen charges on Tuesday. Lantz and Whitefeather were first arrested in October after a wellness check led to the discovery of the couple’s five adopted children — aged 6, 9, 11, 14 and 16 — living in deplorable conditions on their Sissonville property. The indictment, which Kanawha County Circuit Judge Maryclaire Akers said was one of the worst she’s ever seen, alleges that the...

Head for the (fire) exit! Westchester County Executive George Latimer sent Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) packing from Congress Tuesday night, easily winning the 16th District’s Democratic primary over the far-left “Squad” member. Latimer, 70, will be heavily favored to defeat Republican Madeline Brame in the Nov. 5 election to represent the deep-blue Bronx and Westchester constituency. Bowman’s four-year House tenure will come to an end following the most expensive congressional primary ever in terms of ad spending – a race which pitted pro-Bowman groups like Justice Democrats and the Working Families Party against an alliance of moderates turned off by...

For all you FOX haters, this is some local Fox affiliate's coverage of tonight's primaries, not the main FOX News.

Twice failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has her sights set on your children — for more climate change messaging. Hillary Clinton is putting pressure on Hollywood studios to develop movies and TV shows that dramatize how climate change is putting kids in danger. “There’s now research on this topic, but most people are not aware at all,” Clinton said in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter. “Our hope is that we can help people make the connections between children’s mental and physical health and the impact of climate change.”

'The Five' co-hosts react to President Biden being prepped by 16 people for the CNN Presidential Debate against former President Trump.

Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) has won the GOP primary in Colorado’s eastern 4th Congressional District, according to Decision Desk HQ. Boebert defeated a group of Republican challengers to prevail in the Republican contest to replace former Rep. Ken Buck (R-Colo.), defying assumptions early on in the primary cycle that her days in Congress were numbered. The Colorado Republican, who currently represents the western 3rd Congressional District, initially ran for another term in that district, after narrowly winning her second term against Democrat Adam Frisch by several hundred votes in 2022. She decided late last year to instead run in the...

The House Judiciary Committee will hold a vote later this week on whether to find President Joe Biden‘s ghostwriter in contempt of Congress, a source familiar confirmed to the Washington Examiner. The committee is set to vote during a panel markup on Thursday on advancing the contempt resolution after Mark Zwonitzer failed to comply with a subpoena seeking access to records related to a book he worked on with the president that may have involved classified material. If approved, the measure would be brought to the House floor for a vote referring the matter to the Justice Department for prosecution....

CNN is attempting to silence independent media and control the narrative surrounding the first 2024 Presidential debate on Thursday by not allowing the use of CNN’s live broadcast to report and comment on the debate in real time. This revelation comes after CNN’s Kasie Hunt abruptly cut off Trump’s spokeswoman, Karoline Leavitt, after she brought up Jake Tapper’s history of comparing Trump to Hitler and told people to “Google ‘Jake Tapper Donald Trump.'” It’s not enough to turn off President Trump’s microphone or to cut off spokespersons in interviews. Jesse Watters compared this move to slapping a gag order on...

Back on June 10, we told you the story of Eithan Haim, who blew the whistle on Texas Children's Hospital performing "gender-affirming" surgeries on minors even after they'd been outlawed by the state legislature. Another whistleblower came forward and said that the hospital was billing Medicaid for these banned sex-change surgeries. The Biden administration sent two FBI agents to her house. You see, the FBI is going after Haim for violating HIPAA laws and threatening him with up to 10 years in federal prison and a $250,000 fine. Meanwhile, someone is doing something: EXCLUSIVE: Texas Rep. @BrianEHarrison has asked Texas...
