Today, the Justice Department filed suit against the City of San Jose, California, and the San Jose Police Department for charging private individuals unreasonable fees to exercise their Second Amendment right to lawfully carry a firearm. At nearly $1,600 per license, the City’s application fee to carry a firearm is the highest in the nation. Indeed, San Jose’s fee towers over those imposed by the country’s biggest cities. New York, Washington, D.C., Boston, and Chicago all charge a small fraction of San Jose’s fee. The Supreme Court has held that “exorbitant fees” such as San Jose’s violate the Second Amendment...

When TMZ DC asked Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) about Lindsay Clancy's murder case this week, she was blunt. In fact, I think she said exactly what a lot of people have been thinking but are generally too polite to say out loud.(snip) When TMZ DC’s Jacob Wasserman mentioned Reddington’s pardon request to Mace, she vented her uninhibited opinion. "Which is how retarded it is," she said. "He knows, as an attorney in the state of Massachusetts, you can't ask for a federal pardon for a state case. I mean, it doesn't take a lawyer — I’m not even a lawyer,...

Harel Shapira, a sociologist at the University of Texas at Austin, is one of the country’s leading scholars of the American political right. For his first book, Waiting for José: The Minutemen’s Pursuit of America (Princeton University Press, 2013), Shapira spent years embedded with a militia group, which helped point him to his next subject, gun culture. To research his new book, Basic Pistol: Living and Dying by the Gun in America (Pantheon, September 15), Shapira spent four years immersing himself in that culture, participating in firearms and self-defense training courses in Texas and around the country and getting to...

This is very troubling… Why is it that only Republicans believe when you strangle to death your three little innocent children, including a baby, that you committed murder and should be punished? What did these babies ever do to deserve such a cruel death at the hands of their mother? Michael Marcel at Fugitive TV on TouTube interviewed the lone juror who stood up to the leftist mob who were ready to let Lindsey Clancy walk. Michael Marcel: He was very kind, Catholic, and you want to hear something very funny? We started talking. He thinks he knows why he...

Did a real Grindr outage take place in Dallas during the 2026 Republican National Convention, which began on Sept. 9, 2026? No, that's not true: A spokesperson for Grindr told Lead Stories it had no outages connected to the convention, and its status page did not show any either. The Downdetector website did show an increase in outage reports nationally on the evening of Sept. 9, 2026, but according to its methodology, the graphs on the service are at least partially based on unvetted user reports and social media posts. The claim appeared in a post by the @factpostnews account...

U.S. — Climate activists sounded the alarm this week, warning that global warming was to blame for zero hurricanes forming in the Atlantic Ocean this year. Though it was previously a common belief that global warming would lead to more frequent and powerful hurricanes, experts warned the lack of hurricanes was also the result of climate change and that Republicans would "rue the day" they ever dismissed it as a hoax. "The pleasant hurricane season Florida is having is directly caused by global warming, and we are all going to die as a result," said protester Byron Bridges. "America must...

SAN FRANCISCO, CA — AI startup Anthropic held a press conference on Monday to proudly announce that its models would bring about the total extinction of the human race significantly faster than competitor OpenAI. Company executives unveiled a series of impressive benchmarks demonstrating that Claude 4.5 could orchestrate a global collapse of civilization in roughly half the compute cycles required by ChatGPT.

An up-and-coming drill rapper was shot and killed in an ambush at a Chicago gas station — with shocking video showing the killers running up and firing dozens of shots into his Tesla. Bloodhound Q50, who had more than a million monthly listeners on Spotify, was shot and killed early Sunday — just weeks after he ominously told a vlogger that he knew he could be a target. Surveillance footage shows the 22-year-old rapper, real name Mikquale Cooper, strolling out of a BP gas station and into his white Tesla where his pregnant girlfriend was waiting, according to Fox 32....

Myles Morrell was outside former Senate Majority Leader and current Senator Mitch McConnell’s DC home on Monday when he was wheeled out to attend the US Senate to vote on Monday.

Myles had a hunch when McConnell would be wheeled out. This is Mitch McConnell’s first public appearance since his reported stroke earlier this...

A naturalized citizen cannot be deported unless a federal court revokes that person's citizenship. Civil denaturalization requires the government to establish citizenship was illegally obtained or procured through the concealment of a material fact or willful misrepresentation. Deportation would require a separate removal process and an applicable legal ground for removal.

Someone's trash truly is someone else's treasure. At least, if they are a postmodern art collector who likes to set money on fire! At least that's what a patron of the arts bid for the Merino Gallery‘s broken vacuum cleaner, tucked away in a corner waiting to be discarded. According to staff, the cleaner had been used throughout the week to vacuum the exhibition floors before its motor reportedly gave out. Rather than immediately throwing it away, a member of the cleaning crew left it beside a wall while waiting for it to be removed. To the collector, however, its...

USC men’s basketball head coach Eric Musselman “launched into a profanity-laced, racially-charged post-game locker room tirade” against one of his star players last season, according to an explosive new lawsuit obtained by the California Post. Chad Baker-Mazara filed the suit in Los Angeles on Monday, claiming that just before he was dismissed from the Trojans in March, Musselman unloaded on him in a racist rant following USC’s Feb. 28 home game vs. Nebraska. Baker-Mazara played 19 minutes in the contest but exited in the second half after sustaining an injury. The Trojans were blown out, 82-67, and when the team...
