Reuters reports that a bronze ram has been recovered from some 260 feet of water off the coast of western Sicily, near the Aegates Islands, by divers from the Society for the Documentation of Underwater Sites. The front of the ram is decorated with a helmet topped with three feathers, but deposits of shells and seaweed currently cover any other possible marks or inscriptions. Such a ram would have been placed on the bow of a warship and used to attack enemy vessels. This ram, and 26 others recovered from the area, have been assigned to the Battle of the...

Challenger Gene Shaw defeated five-time incumbent Kevin Wallace, winning 54% of the vote in the House District 32 election.

Ruling roughly six months before the November general election, a federal judge has declared unconstitutional a state law banning noncitizens from helping to register voters and ordered Secretary of State Cord Byrd and Attorney General Ashley Mood not to enforce it. U.S. District Chief Judge Mark Walker in Tallahassee ruled Wednesday that the law discriminated against noncitizens based on their status. He cited the harm the law inflicted on Veronica Herrera-Lucha and Norka Martínez, two of the plaintiffs in the case.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott announced on Monday that 6,500 noncitizens were removed from the Lone Star State's voter rolls ahead of the 2024 presidential race, following several other Republican-led states that have done so in recent weeks.

PHOENIX (CN) — Donald Trump allies including Rudy Giuliani and Arizona Republican leaders argued Monday that an indictment accusing them of conspiracy to overturn the 2020 presidential election should be dismissed under Arizona’s newly amended anti-SLAPP statute, barring prosecutions intended to inhibit free exercise of First Amendment rights. Fourteen of the 16 remaining defendants in Arizona’s “fake electors” case told a Maricopa County judge that the signing and certification of a document assigning Arizona’s 11 electoral votes to Donald Trump rather than President Joe Biden in 2020 was an expression of the defendants’ First Amendment freedoms to petition the government....

Just saw the clip on TV. He went right there and said "Look, president's have some immunity look at Obama who ordered a drone strike on a U.S. citizen. That was the very definition of murder ... " Brilliant from JD. He also mentioned judges themselves have some immunity in office...

I was on X (Twitter) earlier, after Jack Smiths reindictment of Trump & came across a news site claiming that in September, Smith would also be bringing indictments to over a hundred sitting Republican members of Congress. It included something specifically about Marjorie Taylor Greene. Admittedly, i'm not her biggest fan sometimes (I've never been a fan of sassiness personally), but are they going to try harassing her in the courts too? It's funny how when you feel under attack- all the petty stuff melts away. I don't mind telling anyone- it had me spooked! Might have even cried a...

We were wondering if there would be another election-year letter by 51 Experts Who Hate Donald Trump, and lo and behold, we have not been disappointed. This year's letter is a doozy for how completely dumb it is. It's as if these supposedly well-connected politicos have been disconnected from reality for the last four years. For that reason alone, they should be widely mocked and ridiculed, and I'm here for it. This time around, the letter is written by people you've never heard of who used to work for people you have heard of. The political progeny of Mitt Romney...

‘I think our prosecutions have made clear what we think about people who try to interfere with the peaceful transfer of power,’ Garland said.Attorney General Merrick Garland boasted on Friday how his office has prosecuted nearly 1,500 Americans for protesting the 2020 election, warning others they may face similar lawfare should they raise any concerns about the administration of the upcoming November election. Speaking at a press briefing, Garland essentially said the Jan. 6 prosecutions should serve to remind Americans what happens if they raise questions about an election. “I think our prosecutions have made clear what we think about...

First it was pretending she’s not the border czar. Then it was downplaying her running mate’s stolen valor controversy. Now, regime-approved media want you to believe that Vice President Kamala Harris wants to finish wall construction along the U.S.-Mexico border.On Tuesday, Democrats’ favorite propaganda outlet Axios published an article in which authors Alex Thompson and Hans Nichols claimed that Harris “pledges to spend hundreds of millions of dollars on the wall along the southern border” if elected this November. The two “reporters” asserted it’s “the latest example of Harris flip-flopping on her past liberal positions” since becoming Democrats’ 2024 presidential...
