Graham Linehan has demanded that the police stop acting as a “goon squad” for trans activists.

Mr Linehan was cleared of harassing Ms Brooks on social media but convicted of criminal damage after snatching the complainant’s mobile phone and throwing it to the ground outside the Battle of Ideas conference on Oct 19, 2024. The Irish comedy writer has now had his criminal damage conviction overturned after Mrs...

Eric Daugherty @EricLDaugh 🚨 HOLY SMOKES. DOJ report just dropped a bombshell: The Biden DOJ aggressively targeted and harassed Christians, privately called them "CULTISTS" and sought out HARSH prison sentences for peaceful protests Even worse: They used the SPLC to do it!

"The report found the Biden DOJ brought multiple cases against pro-life activists, many of them Christians, under the FACE...

The Task Force to Eradicate Anti-Christian Bias concluded that the Biden administration targeted conservative Christian churches for alleged nonprofit violations while ignoring liberal ones. A new report released Thursday by the Task Force to Eradicate Anti-Christian Bias reveals what investigators describe as a "stark contrast" and a systemic double standard in how the Biden Internal Revenue Service policed American churches. “The Biden IRS … [opened] multiple investigations into Christian churches focused on the content of their sermons. The IRS asked these churches for detailed information about their operations, not just about the alleged violations,” the task force wrote. “But during...

A federal appeals court Wednesday shot down President Donald Trump's request to rehear his appeal of the $83 million defamation case brought by writer E. Jean Carroll In a split vote, a majority of the 12-member 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals denied Trump’s motion for a hearing by the full bench of judges, or an “en banc” hearing. The decision opens the way for Trump to ask the Supreme Court to hear his argument of presidential immunity. A federal jury decided in 2024 that Trump defamed Carroll when he disputed her accusation that he sexually abused her in a...

The Supreme Court on Wednesday unanimously ruled in favor of a pro-life pregnancy center fighting harassment from Democrat state officials. The high court ruled that a pro-life pregnancy center can challenge in federal court a sweeping subpoena from New Jersey’s attorney general demanding the identities of its financial supporters and other internal records. In First Choice Women’s Resource Centers v. Davenport, Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote for the unanimous court that the New Jersey pro-life group has standing to bring its First Amendment claim. “An injury in fact arises when a defendant burdens a plaintiff’s constitutional rights, and government demands for...

She accused the political establishment of shielding predators to protect their own power and introduced a resolution to stop it. Mace joined "Saturday in America" to discuss the resolution she put forward for the House Ethics Committee to release its records on sexual harassment by lawmakers.

The Justice Department on Tuesday asked a federal appeals court to throw out the seditious conspiracy convictions of Proud Boys and Oath Keepers leaders who were sentenced to prison terms for leading members of the far-right extremist groups in attacking the U.S. Capitol to keep President Donald Trump in the White House over five years ago. Trump commuted the prison sentences of several Proud Boys and Oath Keepers leaders last January in a sweeping act of clemency for all 1,500-plus defendants charged in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack. The request by the Justice Department would go a step further and...

Famed Harvard law professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz says he believes President Donald Trump could have grounds to expunge his 2019 impeachment in the House after bombshell new evidence revealed the intelligence community failed to disclose that his main accuser had the potential for bias, made a false statement and only had hearsay to back up his allegations. Dershowitz, a Democrat at the time who worked to defend Trump at the impeachment trial that ended in the president's acquittal, said it would be "an interesting, novel approach" for Trump to go to Chief Justice John Roberts, who presided over the case,...

The state of New York would now like to require these sisters to assign patient rooms by gender identity rather than biological sex, grant access to opposite-sex bathrooms, use preferred pronouns, undergo state-mandated training in gender ideology, and post notices of compliance with the progressive vision of human nature — or risk fines, loss of their license, and up to one year in prison.

The U.S. intelligence watchdog developed derogatory evidence about the CIA analyst who prompted the 2019 Ukraine-focused impeachment against Donald Trump, including that he submitted false information in his whistleblower complaint, offered hearsay to support his allegations and had the "potential for bias," according to newly declassified memos that were kept from Americans during the failed bid by Democrats to remove the president from office six years ago. The documents declassified by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard at the request of Just the News provide a starkly different portrait of the alleged whistleblower whose name and face were never shown...
