A federal judge has paused an attempt by the Biden administration’s Department of Justice (DOJ) to imprison Christian pro-life activists for up to ten years. Judge Matthew Leitman, an Obama appointee, paused the DOJ’s FACE Act and felony conspiracy case against seven pro-life activists who are awaiting sentencing over a peaceful protest at a Michigan abortion clinic, citing the results of the 2024 election and the potential for the next presidential administration to handle such cases differently. “As further discussed on the record, the Court will conduct another status conference during the week of March 24, 2025, to receive a...

Relevant section starts at 21:40 into the youtube video.The 1964 New York Times Co. vs. Sullivan was handed down as a unanimous decision of the (to conservatives, notorious) Warren Court. It was not only unanimous, but included enthusiastic concurrences by justices who wanted to go even further.In is the Sullivan decision which severely inhibits the filing of libel suits by “public figures” - emphatically including politicians. The theory of the decision basically was that politicians are big boys who can handle themselves in propaganda contests because they have political parties behind them. Scalia’s rebuttal is that “the” freedom of speech,...

Attacks on free speech at Stanford University in recent years are emblematic of the problems colleges across the country are facing ... Universities have suffered a cataclysmic decline in public approval and support. only 36% of Americans polled either expressed “a great deal” or “quite a lot” of confidence in higher education — once the agreed-on touchstone to upward mobility. Gifting to most universities has been down for two consecutive years. There is zero intellectual diversity on most university campuses. Speakers with conservative viewpoints are often either disinvited or shouted down — and worse. The federally guaranteed student loan program...

United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres encouraged world governments on Tuesday to “rein in hate speech and disinformation spreading online” through a global censorship framework. Guterres suggested that “unchecked digital platforms” were amplifying the “worst impulses of humanity” and threatening global stability and peace, requiring world governments to buy into U.N. programs such as the “Global Digital Compact” to silence speech the world body considers threatening. He made his remarks on the same day that the U.N. Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) declared global intervention to “educate” online social influencers in how to avoid “misinformation” was an “urgent” priority. UNESCO...

President Trump is sending shockwaves through the Deep State and the uniparty with his bold cabinet picks. They’re quickly realizing that 2024 won’t be anything like 2016, when so many establishment hacks infiltrated his administration and sabotaged the MAGA agenda. This time, President Trump is choosing America First warriors who are ready to shake things up and turn our crooked government upside down. And his latest pick for FCC chairman has the “disinformation” crowd absolutely panicking. President Trump has tapped First Amendment champion Brendan Carr for the top FCC spot, and this guy is poised to dismantle the censorship industry...

ANew Hampshire high school banned two parents from its grounds after they wore wristbands protesting boys participating in girls' sports. Two months later, the school remained adamant about its decision in a court hearing on Friday. The controversy began in September when parents complained to the Bow High School athletic director about their daughters' soccer team having to compete against a team with a boy on the roster, the New Hampshire Journal reported. “Where’s your courage? Where’s your integrity? Stand up for real women or get out of the way,” soccer dad Anthony Foote wrote in an email to athletic...

nlike the other media watchdogs, NewsGuard is a for-profit company, making money in a variety of ways that include licensing its rating.. Part of President-elect Donald’s Trump plan to rein in censorship, which he disclosed on Nov. 9, involves tweaking section 230 of the Communications Decency Act of 1996. Section 230 gives social media companies liability immunity for user posts, though Trump wants it to apply only to those with “high standards of neutrality,” not just those who appear to routinely take down posts that lean conservative. Without calling out by name Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube or a legacy media,...

Many news outlets have published Robert F. Kennedy Jr. profiles in the past 18 months, but The Washington Post’s in June was the only one to warrant a 20-page response from the Trump HHS nominee (This story is the first in a four-part series this month by Just the News on self-described watchdogs who push for censorship.) “If we don’t have free speech, then we just don’t have a free country,” President-elect Donald Trump said in a video posted to social media just day after winning reelection on Nov. 5. “Today, I’m announcing my plan to shatter the left-wing censorship...

The media is unquestionably one of the most powerful and influential voices in our culture. Journalism used to be a simple matter of reporting the facts and, where there was controversy, presenting both sides of the story. Unfortunately, that is no longer the case. From the top national networks to local newspapers, we are faced with the challenge of sorting through commentary and conjecture in order to get to the truth. We encourage you to make our nation’s journalists a subject of prayer. Ask the Lord to provide the television, radio and print mediums with staff members and executives who...

Colorado has agreed to pay over $1.5 million after violating the First Amendment rights of a graphic designer who took her case to the United States Supreme Court. The Court ruled in June that the state could not compel Lorie Smith and her design studio, 303 Creative, to create art that violates her religious beliefs. As a Christian, Smith believes that marriage should be between a man and a woman. Though she wanted to design wedding websites, Colorado’s discrimination laws would have required her to create same-sex wedding websites. Smith, who was represented by lawyers from the Alliance Defending Freedom,...

Colorado officials have agreed to pay over $1.5 million to cover attorney fees for graphic designer Lorie Smith, who successfully challenged the state’s antidiscrimination law at the Supreme Court. The settlement, announced Tuesday, comes months after the high court ruled in 303 Creative LLC v. Elenis that Colorado violated Smith’s First Amendment rights by attempting to compel her to create wedding websites for same-sex couples against her religious beliefs. Earlier this year, a federal district court issued a final judgment requiring state officials to cease efforts to compel Smith’s speech, a resolution that brought an end to years of legal...

Actress and filmmaker Justine Bateman is applauding the return of President-elect Donald Trump to the White House as a liberating force for all those who value freedom of speech and expression. She said it feels like a cloud has been lifted with Trump’s runaway victory. “I feel good. I feel great, in fact,” Bateman told Fox News Digital in an interview. “I feel like there was this kind of suffocating cloud that was kind of over us… Regular people who had questions about decisions that were being made were threatened subtly or obviously into silence. And I feel like that’s...

Then “Diversity, Equity and Inclusion” exploded — on college campuses, in corporate boardrooms, online. Every subculture, no matter how esoteric, began braying for recognition (or “centering,” in DEI language). Two-spirit indigenous people? Incarcerated women with HIV? Nonbinary semi-professional athletes? They all had a laundry list of grievances, and demanded that governments provide the salve. This new movement rests on two absurd ideas: that certain groups require extra help in perpetuity because of harms they incurred in the past — what dissenters have aptly termed “the soft bigotry of low expectations” — and that inequality of intergroup outcomes can only arise...

This earns President Trump a space on Mount Rushmore. --Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. (Six minute thirty-six second video.)

Federal Communications Commissioner Brendan Carr utilized Media Research Center analysis to put Big Tech and so-called media ratings firm NewsGuard on notice. Carr sent a letter Wednesday to the respective CEOs of Google, Microsoft, Meta and Apple accusing them of “improper conduct” in silencing Americans’ exercising free speech on political, religious and scientific issues. Carr specifically ordered these tech giants to acquiesce to surrendering any documents related to their work with “the Orwellian named NewsGuard” given its history of targeting right-leaning websites by bullying their advertisers. Moreover, Carr excoriated the CEOs for participating in “a censorship cartel that included not...

~Sixty-six days from America's uniquely unique peaceful transfer of power, the winning side is having a grand old time watching Trump troll a discredited and impotent not-so-mainstream media. The central criticism of every appointment - that this guy is not part of the club, not from the ranks of the uniparty ruling class - is, in fact, the minimum entry qualification if you're serious about pulling the US back from the looming cliff edge. If Merrick Garland and Lloyd Austin are what it means to be a sober respectable "public servant", Trump might as well hand out Cabinet positions from...
