President Biden is finalizing plans to endorse major changes to the Supreme Court in the coming weeks, including proposals for legislation to establish term limits for the justices and an enforceable ethics code, according to two people briefed on the plans. He is also weighing whether to call for a constitutional amendment to eliminate broad immunity for presidents and other constitutional officeholders, the people said, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss private deliberations.

CRIME "Rust" armorer wants conviction tossed in wake of dropping of Baldwin charges July 17, 2024 / 5:33 AM EDT / AFP The armorer on Alec Baldwin film "Rust" filed Tuesday to have her conviction for involuntary manslaughter overturned, days after the Hollywood star's own trial over a fatal on-set shooting collapsed due to withheld evidence. Baldwin was holding a revolver during a rehearsal for the low-budget Western in October 2021 when a live round was fired, killing cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and wounding the film's director. Hannah Gutierrez, as the film's armorer, was responsible for providing dummy and blank rounds...

WASHINGTON — In the nearly three weeks since President Joe Biden took the debate stage in Atlanta and plunged his reelection campaign into chaos, his closest consultations have been not with his White House chief of staff, his top communications strategist or even the leader of his campaign. Instead, he is relying on members of his family — a tight-knit clan that includes his son, Hunter, and the first lady, Jill Biden — along with a tiny group of loyalists to steer him through a self-created crisis and quell a rising rebellion against his candidacy from within his own party....

“The Trump GOP is no longer the party of Lincoln, Reagan or the Constitution,” Liz Cheney, the defeated leader of the GOP’s neoconservative faction in the House, lamented Tuesday. Cheney’s complaint was posted on X – formerly known as Twitter – after President Donald Trump picked reformist Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) as his 2024 running mate. JD Vance has pledged he would do what Mike Pence wouldn’t – overturn an election and illegally seize power. He says the president can ignore the rulings of our courts. He would capitulate to Russia and sacrifice the freedom of our allies in Ukraine....

Washington — Peter Navarro, who served as a top trade adviser to former President Donald Trump, was released from federal prison on Wednesday after serving a four-month sentence for defying a congressional subpoena, according to the Federal Bureau of Prisons. Navarro, 75, reported in March to serve his sentence at the federal correctional institute in Miami and was assigned to an 80-person dormitory for older inmates. He is listed among the speakers at this week's Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, though it's unclear whether he will address attendees Wednesday or Thursday, the final day of the event. Navarro's staff posted...

Elon Musk said on Tuesday he is moving the headquarters of two more of his companies - social media platform X and rocket company SpaceX - to Texas from California, citing a new gender-identity law there as the "last straw." With these steps, the billionaire, who last week endorsed Republican Donald Trump for U.S. president, will have relocated Tesla (TSLA.O), opens new tab and most of the businesses he controls or heads to Texas. The world's richest man, he changed his own residence in 2021 from California to Texas, where there is no state income tax on individuals. A new...

The family had flown from Nairobi to London and then on to New York City before one last flight to Albany. All that was...

Well, is it or isn’t it? Is this a light tank or a reconnaissance/observational vehicle? The M10 Booker has raised some eyebrows because it is not clear what role it will play in the future Army force. It was formerly known as the vague-sounding “Mobile Protected Firepower” platform, prior to its unveiling in 2023. At that point Army acquisition honchos regarded it as a “combat vehicle.” Moreover, a U.S. Army general tried to put a finer point on the Booker during its public christening round table event, as reported by the Military Times last year. “[I]n the [U.S.] Army, the...

Britain’s new prime minister has called on the public to reject the “snake oil charm of populism” as King Charles III outlined the Labour government’s legislative agenda for the coming year, which will include a push to fully ban tobacco, a doubling down on the green agenda, an attempt to “reset” relations with the EU and to advocate for Palestinian statehood. At the State Opening of Parliament on Wednesday, King Charles III delivered the “gracious speech from the throne” — more commonly known as the King’s Speech — which sets out the government’s legislative programme for the upcoming parliamentary session....

Karen Finney, Hillary Clinton’s former 2016 campaign spokesperson, said Wednesday that voters see Democrats as “losers.” Democratic Party-funded polling obtained by CNN shows Biden losing ground in the following 14 key battleground states: Arizona, Colorado, Georgia, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Mexico, the 2nd congressional district of Nevada, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Wisconsin. CNN host Kasie Hunt said “We don’t normally report on” internal polling, noting that many Democrats are concerned Biden will be “a massive drag” for down-ballot races.

WASHINGTON, Saturday, July 16. Information has been received here direct from Loudon Valley to the effect that the rebel force, on its retreat from Maryland and Washington, is moving down that valley toward Gordonsville. The rebels seem to be marching rapidly. Our forces, who are in pursuit, captured Gen. BRADLEY JOHNSON, near Edward's Ferry, but he was subsequently rescued by a bold dash of his own cavalry. A soldier of the Sixty-seventh New-York Regiment was hanged yesterday at Poolesville as a spy. Persons from near Manassas say that the rebels are not repairing the Manassas Railroad, as reported. The Star...

“So I was just showing Tucker some material from an unimpeachable source.” - Dan Bongino ==================================================================== In a recent statement, former Secret Service Agent and top podcast host Dan Bongino raised serious concerns about the absence of a police post at the location where a fatal shooting occurred during a Trump rally. Bongino claims that the administration and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary instructed the Secret Service Director to keep quiet about the issue, suggesting a cover-up. “So I was just showing Tucker some material from an unimpeachable source,” Bongino began. “According to my source, that roof was...

I am so excited about the unity coming out of the Republican Convention. I am so grateful that "weeping may have endured for a night, but joy cometh in the morning" Our standard bearer was miraculously spared. I am so overjoyed to see the best RNC convention since Ronald Reagan. But being a realist I have to inject some sobering thoughts. I have to remember that 81 million Americans voted against this man. If he survives these evil attacks and becomes our 47th President, all may not be rosy. The democrats may try to burn our cities like before. Attacks...

Security service officials had would-be assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks on their radar for almost an hour before he shot Donald Trump, a new image reveals. A photograph showing the 20-year-old sniper appearing to crawl on the ground while scouring the area was circulated to law enforcement as a suspicious sighting at 5:30pm the Butler, Pennsylvania rally on July 14. Around 6.10pm, Crooks took up a position on the slanted roof and shot at Trump from a distance of around 165 yards, wounding him in the ear and killing retired fire chief Corey Comperatore. Two more newly-released images also show a...

(The Center Square) – Taxpayers in the city of Chicago now owe more than $37 billion in unpaid pension costs after debts soared by at least $1.8 billion over the last 12 months. Data outlined in the city’s annual comprehensive financial report further highlights that the city’s four employee pension funds representing police officers, firefighters, municipal employees and laborers jumped by 5% in 2023. While Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson recently boasted of the city now being on the right track in terms of getting the city’s pension system in order, state Sen. Craig Wilcox, R-McHenry, sees things entirely different. “Unfortunately,...

Having been teaching in the classroom, online and on the range for several decades now, I guess you could say I’ve observed and experienced many different kinds of students, instructors and classes. And while not every experience is a good experience, they are all learning experiences, and I try to apply what I’ve learned, whether I’m teaching classes, taking classes or recommending classes. In fact, when it comes to taking concealed carry classes or recommending classes, I have learned that there are several factors that are crucial to consider. After all, selecting a firearms instructor (or just about any instructor,...

Joe Biden’s “migrant crime” trend continues to surge, so it’s only appropriate we brief ourselves on the latest developments; I’ve got three in particular to mention.Random killing sprees. Now this seems to be a theme; just two days ago I wrote a blog on federal government whistleblowers revealing the processes by which Biden’s government aids the child trafficking industry, and the fact that MS-13 gang members were “sponsoring” unaccompanied minor children. If you recall, these thugs actually formed “hunting parties” to target and kill random civilians in bids to boost notoriety. But, here’s another instance, from a report via Breitbart...

Axios is reporting that an unnamed editor of a ‘major news outlet’ is advising the media not to use the now iconic image of Trump defiantly raising his fist after the attempt on his life this weekend.This editor recognizes the inherent power of the image and believes that it helps Trump.
