    Liberty Daily ^ | 4/9/26 | Bob Unruh
    A federal judge in Idaho has delivered an order protecting the private communications of a pro-life organization that was hit with a subpoena for that information even though it was not party to a lawsuit brought against the state by a group of abortion promoters. It was the Northwest Abortion Access Fund, the Indigenous Idaho Alliance and others who had been in court demanding access to the communications of the Right to Life of Idaho, Inc. Magistrate Judge Debora Grasham quashed, or canceled, the subpoena, determining that the abortionists’ insistence on the subpoena because it would help them overcome “inefficiency,...

    Following a controversial Supreme Court decision striking down Colorado’s conversion therapy ban, advocates gathered in solidarity at the site of America’s most famous LGBTQ+ protest. Many of New York’s most prominent activists, from conversion therapy survivors to celebrated drag queens, came together for an emergency rally at Stonewall National Monument. “I am a trans, queer woman, and I am a nurse,” said Qween Amor, an activist and a registered nurse. “I am standing at Stonewall because something dangerous just happened, and we cannot pretend that it didn't.”

    The Bulls are cutting bait with Jaden Ivey, waiving the guard following comments on social media livestreams against the LGBTQ community and the Catholic church. The team announced he was waived “due to conduct detrimental to the team” in a statement. Growing concerns about Ivey date back to last month and his comments on a livestream on his personal Instagram account on Monday about the LGBTQ community were the last straw for the Bulls, according to the Chicago Sun Times. Ivey has been posting several lengthy videos on his social media in recent weeks, with the topic of the NBA’s...

    The Colorado Court of Appeals has thrown out election denier Tina Peters' nine-year prison sentence, finding that the lower court violated her First Amendment right to free speech related to her allegations of election fraud. “The trial court’s comments about Peters’s belief in the existence of 2020 election fraud went beyond relevant considerations for her sentencing,” a three-judge panel wrote in a 77-page opinion. “Her offense was not her belief, however misguided the trial court deemed it to be, in the existence of such election fraud; it was her deceitful actions in her attempt to gather evidence of such fraud....

    California Post ^ | 3/27/26 | Jamie Paige
    Taxpayers are yet again helping fund disruptive activism in Los Angeles — this time the radicals planning to chaos across the city and county for Saturday’s “No Kings” protests, which organizers claim will be the biggest yet. One the leading groups participating in the event is the Liberty Hill Foundation, a social justice nonprofit that receives $14 million in Los Angeles city funding for tenant outreach and housing programs. Public filings show the group has donated tens of thousands of dollars to the ACLU of Southern California, raising further questions about taxpayer-supported organizations being used for radical political advocacy. ACLU...

    The pattern of Islam is to use schools and school boards, government, the courts, art museums, and other major institutions, including outreach to churches, to infiltrate, gradually introduce Shari’ah, and then finally takeover a nation. At the February meeting of the Texas State Board of Education (SBOE), Shaimaa Zayan, Operations Manager of the Austin office of Council on Islamic Relations (CAIR) went to the microphone to make public comments about revisions to the social studies curriculum standards which are under review. Why is a designated foreign terrorist organization allowed a platform to demand a full revision of the Texas social...

    The offices of the New York Taxi Workers Alliance had people of all ages on Wednesday night waiting for the end of the nightly Ramadan fast, from children sitting at tables doing math homework to cab drivers just getting off their shifts. Just before it was time to pray and eat, someone announced a special guest was coming to their iftar, the evening meal to break fast during Ramadan. “I know who it is,” shouted a boy from the back of the room to laughter. Mayor Zohran Mamdani soon entered and joined them.

    ADAMS COUNTY, Ohio -- The Grammy-nominated rapper Afroman won a defamation lawsuit filed by seven Ohio sheriff's deputies who sued him over music videos in which he used home security footage to mock their raid of his home. "We did it, America! Yeah, we did it! Freedom of speech! Right on! Right on!" the 51-year-old rapper, born Joseph Foreman, shouted outside the courthouse after the Wednesday evening verdict. He later posted the clip to social media. The case tested the limits of parody and the license artists can take in social commentary directed at public figures. The deputies, collectively, sought...

    Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump Iran has long been known as a Master of Media Manipulation and Public Relations. They are Militarily ineffective and weak, but are really good at “feeding” the very appreciative Fake News Media false information. Now, A.I. has become another Disinformation weapon that Iran uses, quite well, considering they are being annihilated by the day. They showed phony “Kamikaze Boats,” shooting at various Ships at Sea, which looks wonderful, powerful, and vicious, but these Boats don’t exist — It’s all false information to show how “tough” their already defeated Military is!

Mark Kelly of Arizona, finding that the government had "trampled on Senator Kelly's First Amendment freedoms."A retired Navy captain, Kelly drew the Trump administration's ire after he and five other Democratic lawmakers posted a video urging members of the military to "refuse illegal orders."U.S. District Judge Richard Leon's order prohibits the Defense Department and the Trump administration from taking any adverse action against Kelly to reduce his retirement rank and pay."This Court has all it needs to conclude that Defendants have...

    President Trump said Monday morning that murdered actor-director Rob Reiner had “driven people CRAZY” with his opposition to the Republican chief executive in a bizarre, rambling post on Truth Social that prompted outrage from critics of all political persuasions. Reiner, 78, and his wife Michele, 68, were found butchered in their Brentwood, Los Angeles, home Sunday afternoon. Their son Nick has been taken into custody in connection with the crime. ”A very sad thing happened last night in Hollywood,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “Rob Reiner, a tortured and struggling, but once very talented movie director and comedy star, has...

    Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) slammed President Trump on Monday over the president’s remarks about the killings of Hollywood director Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele. Reiner, a well-known Democratic donor and activist who had criticized Trump, and his wife were found dead in their home on Sunday in a suspected homicide. “Regardless of how you felt about Rob Reiner, this is inappropriate and disrespectful discourse about a man who was just brutally murdered. I guess my elected GOP colleagues, the VP, and White House staff will just ignore it because they’re afraid,” Massie wrote on the social platform X. “I...

    'Seth Meyers of NBC may be the least talented person to "perform" in the history of television. In fact, he may be the WORST to perform, live or otherwise,' Trump wrote. 'I watched his show the other night for the first time in years. In it, he talked endlessly about electric catapults on aircraft carriers which I complain about as not being as good as much less expensive steam catapults. 'On and on he went, a truly deranged lunatic,' the president continued. 'Why does NBC waste its time and money on a guy like this???' he asked, claiming Meyers

    Arrest Zohran Kwame Mamdani. Not because he may have lied on his immigration documents. Not because he’s a self-proclaimed communist set on overthrowing the country. Not because he’s an Israel-hating Islamist hellbent on Sharia Law. He should be arrested because he broke federal law.Repeatedly, Mamdani has threatened, intimidated, and harassed Benjamin Netanyahu. Let’s go to the videotape:“Mayor Mamdani, will you welcome Prime Minister Netanyahu to NYC … given the U.S. is not signatory to the IC? Would a Mayor Mamdani welcome Benjamin Netanyahu to the city?”“No, as Mayor, NYC would arrest Benjamin Netanyahu. This is a city whose values are...

    Some Heritage Foundation staffers are speaking up about a controversial video its president, Kevin Roberts, released on Thursday. After Tucker Carlson released his friendly interview of white nationalist Nick Fuentes, there were calls for Heritage, which has made a show of allying itself with Carlson, to disavow the former Fox News host. Instead, Roberts released a video defending both Carlson and Fuentes. “We will always defend truth, we will always defend America, and we will always defend our friends against the slander of bad actors who serve someone else’s agenda. That includes Tucker Carlson, who remains – and as I...

    Among political conservatives, there is no hotter potato at the moment than the civil liability protections afforded by Section 230 to online operators. Unless Republicans learn to love it again and reject the censorship lawfare complex favored by Democrats, they risk dooming our tech leaders and everyone who uses their products to the sharks circling our legal system.The twenty-six words tucked into the Communications Decency Act of 1996 shielded publishers from liability so they could host and moderate content and still allow a wide range of speech without fear of lawsuits. Since then, Section 230 has evolved to be one...
