Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton fired back at the ActBlue Democratic donation organization after it filed a lawsuit Friday accusing him of violating the Constitution. Paxton filed a lawsuit last month accusing ActBlue of illegally accepting donations forbidden by campaign laws. The portal has faced similar allegations from Republicans for years. The ActBlue lawsuit accused Paxton of violating the organization's First and Fourteenth Amendment rights of the Constitution. "ActBlue is trying to take me down," Paxton responded on social media. "I sued the fundraising platform for deceiving Americans by lying about its donation processes that allow fraudulent and foreign donations....

The Justice Department and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives have announced plans to repeal or revise more than 30 federal gun regulations, completing a 50-year pendulum swing back to the Second Amendment's original, resulting in praise from one of the country's longest-standing gun-rights advocates. “This is why America elected Donald Trump. Freedom. ATF has no business making up rules, that’s what Congress does. Blanch, Dhillon, and Cekada are setting the right course," NRA Board Member and retired Army Lt. Col. Willes K. Lee told Just The News after the DOJ and ATF made the announcement last week....

Donald Trump has now survived more known assassination attempts than any other U.S. president after Saturday’s shooting in Washington. The gunman arrested at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner is at least the sixth person apprehended while trying to kill Trump since 2016, a Daily Caller News Foundation analysis of media reports and court records found. The number of attempts is higher if counting plots foiled in their early stages, including those by Iran, ISIS terrorists and a Wisconsin cultist. Barack Obama is a close second with five known attempts. Violent actors have made attempts on U.S. presidents’ lives as early...

The Iran war didn’t just break Tehran—it shattered old alliances, exposed Europe’s weakness, checked China and Russia, and accelerated an American-led geopolitical realignment. No one ever quite knows the nature of the aftermath of any war in the Middle East. The current effort to disarm and neuter the Iranian theocracy is no exception. But contrary to European and American left-wing consensus, the ripples of the Iran war are already remaking the postwar world as we knew it—and in ways that are all bad. For more than half a century, OPEC has terrorized the industrial world with threats of oil shortages...

The Supreme Court on Monday night granted a request to immediately finalize its opinion in Louisiana v. Callais, in which it struck down that state’s congressional map, to allow Louisiana to draw a new map in time for the 2026 elections. That map is expected to favor Republicans, who currently hold four of the state’s six seats in the U.S. House of Representatives but could pick up one or even two more under a revised map. The court’s decision drew sharp criticism from Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, the lone dissenter. Jackson argued that the court’s ruling “has spawned chaos in...

"The names of the twelve apostles are these: The first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; and James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother; Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax-gatherer; James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus; Simon the Zealot, and Judas Iscariot, the one who betrayed Him" (Matt. 10:2-4). Unity in the Spirit is the key to a church’s overall effectiveness. Unity is a crucial element in the life of the church—especially among its leadership. A unified church can accomplish great things for Christ, but disunity can cripple or destroy it. Even...

A shadow has lifted over American democracy. For generations, government-mandated racial prejudice quietly diluted the voting power of American whites, the very group that forms the overwhelming core of the Republican electorate. On April 29, the Supreme Court finally ended this systemic discrimination in its ruling in Louisiana v. Callais. The decision strikes down race-based congressional maps that artificially boost minority districts at the expense of equal representation. The judgment applies to state and local districts, too. It restores a simple truth: districts must reflect population realities, not engineered outcomes designed to weaken one race’s electoral voice. This is no...

Dell Technologies is the latest company to announce it is redomesticating its legal headquarters to Texas. “The proposed redomestication would align Dell Technologies’ state of incorporation with its roots and long-standing center of operations,” Dell Technologies said in a statement. Michael Dell founded the company in Austin, Texas, in 1984. “From my dorm room at the University of Texas in 1984 to our headquarters today in Round Rock, Texas has given Dell what every great company needs to grow — extraordinary talent, world-class research universities, and a business environment that lets us build for the long term,” Dell Technologies chairman...

sequence is really doing inside human beings. Only by recognizing that SARS-CoV-2 and its derivatives are running a misplaced bat reproductive hibernation maintenance program, complete with amyloid plugs, torpor metabolism, immune tolerance, and persistent IFN-gamma orchestration, can we develop mitigation strategies and treatments that actually match the underlying pathology instead of fighting the wrong battle. Until that biological reality is acknowledged, we will continue to apply mismatched solutions to a system that was never designed to run in our species.

Kamala Harris has weighed in on the LA mayor’s race and issued endorsements in several other contests — but refused to back a gubernatorial candidate. The former VP, who now lives in Malibu, endorsed incumbent Karen Bass for mayor of the second-largest city in the US. “She has my full support for re-election,” the Democrat said. The two have known each other for more than two decades and were once rumored rivals for the vice presidency when Joe Biden pledged to select a woman as his running mate in 2020. Bass, who is serving her first term, was sworn in...

Generation Z is increasingly identifying with the Roman Catholic Church, moving away from the "spiritual but not religious" label that defined previous years. This conversion boom is being fueled by a search for moral order and ancient traditions, as reported by Fox News. Data from the Barna Group indicates that Gen Z Christians are now attending church more frequently than Millennials, Gen X, and Baby Boomers. This shift, once considered a temporary post-pandemic fluke, has evolved into a significant cultural movement. In 2025, the typical Gen Z churchgoer attended services nearly two weekends a month. This figure represents the...
