Two cultivated meat companies have filed a lawsuit against officials in Texas over the law that bans the sales of lab-grown meat in the state for two years. California-based companies UPSIDE Foods, which makes cultivated chicken, and Wildtype, which makes cultivated salmon are suing Attorney General Ken Paxton, Texas Department of State Health Services, Texas Health and Human Services, and Travis County, accusing them of government overreach. “This law has nothing to do with protecting public health and safety and everything to do with protecting conventional agriculture from innovative out-of-state competition,” said Paul Sherman, a senior attorney at the Institute...

Much was foretold this last weekend by Mahmoud Khalil, the formerly arrested Columbia University Palestinian student leader, who spoke before the pro-Palestinian, anti-Israel “People’s Conference for Palestine” held in Detroit, Michigan. Khalil, the keynote speaker, told a room packed with thousands of pro-Palestinian militants that they should organize a “national liberation movement” in the United States. “We should build a national liberation movement,” Khalil advised the activist audience who openly strategized for “resistance.” “We should build a national liberation movement,” Khalil advised the activist audience who openly strategized for “resistance.”

The New York Magazine''s Intelligencer section certainly knows its liberal readers as one that lately, along with many others of the their fellow liberals, is suddenly very very interested in the health of President Donald Trump. Not out of any sympathetic concern for his health but out of a ghoulish fascination that could remove him from performing his presidential duties which is currently a sick fascination among the "When It Happens" cult at TikTok. They don't come right out and specifically state what they hope happens (to Trump) but any sentient observer knows exactly what they are talking about despite...

On Sept 3, Beijing hosted one of its biggest military parades in years. Xi Jinping watched from Tiananmen Square as long-range missiles, hypersonic weapons, and unmanned systems rolled past in a choreographed display of force, accompanied by Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong-un. The message was unmistakable: China is positioning itself to shift the global balance of power in its favor — and has the will and means to field a military that can deliver not just quantitative, but qualitative, superiority over the United States.

VIDEOI call them Hopium Ghouls. The liberals who hope that something "happens" to President Trump that makes him incapable of remaining in office. At TikTok there is a whole cult of "When It Happens" whose sick lives revolves around you-know-what. Here is one of the many Hopium Ghouls who by her own words reveals just how deranged she is while hoping beyond hope that the President being briefly away from the cameras during Labor Day weekend would mean something ominous. Oh, and this leftist cult is not limited to just random online nutcases. As you can see from the Bonus...

The Georgetown Islamic Center has rapidly grown from living-room prayers into a multimillion-dollar complex of schools, seminaries, businesses, and landholdings — presenting itself as a self-contained society that insulates children through sharia-based education, expands via sharia financing and closely brokered land purchases, and positions itself as a blueprint for parallel Islamic institutions across Texas and beyond.

Note: We wish this story were satire, but the Democrat Mayor of Chicago is genuinely insane. Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson continues to deny reality and responsibility for his crime-ridden city. Is he blaming his lax law enforcement policies? No. Is he blaming the criminals for their actions? Of course not. He’s blaming red states and their guns. Somehow, migratory guns from red states are settling in the Windy City and magically corrupting innocent Chicagoans, thus causing these otherwise peaceful, gentle souls to kill each other in the streets. Seriously, that's what Johnson is saying. Here’s the insanity. (WATCH)

....the merging of Marxist and Islamic agendas to undermine Western values, is alive and well in Texas.

An Alaska man is petitioning the Supreme Court to consider whether the government's seizure of his $95,000 plane for transporting an illicit six-pack of beer is an excessive fine under the Eighth Amendment. The Institute for Justice, a public interest law firm, filed a petition for writ of certiorari today on behalf of Ken Jouppi, an 82-year-old Alaskan bush pilot, asking the Supreme Court to rule on whether states should consider the gravity of a defendant's specific offense, rather than an abstract view of the general crime. Jouppi was convicted of a misdemeanor in 2012 when state troopers searched his...

In a bonkers, incredibly irresponsible speech given in the wake of news that hundreds of DHS agents are being deployed to his city to crack down on illegal immigration and thousands of National Guard troops could be deployed to crack down on crime, as is currently ongoing in DC, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson encouraged his city to rise up and defend itself against President Trump. As background, the fury from Johnson began with President Trump, commenting on the situation in DC and where will be next, saying, “To me, D.C. is very exciting and a lot of people say, ‘Whoa,...

Watching the circus in Chicago is appalling. Week after week people are dying in the streets. democrats seem so inured by the violence and death that it's all normal to them. The past weekend saw 54 people shot and 8 killed. To Gov. "JBeefy" Pritzker and Mayor Brandon Johnson it's another day at the office. Pritzker, who went to the safest part of Chicago with his retinue of bodyguards to proclaim how safe the city is says "Authoritarians thrive on your silence." He adds "There's no emergency that warrants deploying troops in Chicago". To date this year 1166 people have...
