    CHICAGO (WLS) -- A Concealed-Carry License holder fatally shot a man who was trying to break into a South Side apartment on Saturday morning, Chicago police said. Police said a 33-year-old man tried to break into a home in the 3400-block of West Monroe Street just before 7 a.m. A 28-year-old woman with a CCL was inside the apartment with multiple other people, police said. She discharged her weapon, striking the man in the body twice. The man was transported to Mount Sinai Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. The CCL holder was taken to Area 4 for questioning.

  • The Green Agenda Turned New England Into an Energy Price Punchline

    Every month, the electric bill arrives, and it’s larger than the month before. The region pays more for electricity than almost anyone else in America—higher than the national average and, outside of Alaska and Hawaii, higher than anywhere else in the country. This is not a coincidence. It is the inevitable result of politicians who pushed the risky and unreliable green agenda while forcing reliable power plants off the grid. The forced closure of coal, oil, and natural gas plants in the name of “climate progress” is why rates are climbing. In 2022, Massachusetts Senators Elizabeth Warren and Ed Markey...

    We’ve seen that Democrats don’t seem to understand some of the basic principles of the Constitution. Or perhaps, more accurately, don’t seem to care about complying with it. We’ve also seen that they don’t understand that Joe Biden isn’t king. He doesn’t get to declare, by unilateral fiat, the cancellation of student debt. That’s not within his Constitutional power, no matter what Democratic politicians may think. But they wanted to do it to pay off their base for their votes. So, they threw a tantrum on the steps of the Supreme Court. All they understand is that they should get...

    A 43-year-old man and two nine-year-old children have died after being ‘burned alive’ when they became trapped inside a Tesla. The car went up in flames on September 7 after it came off the road and crashed into a tree in western Germany, police said. The man, and the children, no further details, died at the scene. Another child inside the vehicle was able to get out alive and was taken to a nearby hospital. A local resident tried to rescue the others but was unable to open the door with the Tesla’s retractable handles, German media outlets report. Roman...

    My driveway | 918/25 | Me, Myself, and I
    My 2006 Scion Xa (with only 74,000 miles on odometer) has lately been "jumping" when I first start it up for the first time in a day. I had my local mechanic put it on the scope, but he found nothing. He changed 3 of the ignition coils. No change. He changed a small hose from the ignition complex, which was hard and frayed at the ends. It's a little better, but still jumps when you first start it up. The mechanic drove it around, and it didn't miss. It ONLY does that when you first start it up, first...

    Did anyone see what Kash Patel did? I was watching his interrogation and I noticed something. He was insulting the Dems and ridiculing them. It made me think, "what the F is Patel doing? He's trying to keep his job at the FBI so why is he insulting the Dems on the committee." Then it hit me. RULE 5: “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.” There is no defense. It’s irrational. It’s infuriating. It also works as a key pressure point to force the enemy into concessions.

    This is an hour long video that is thought-provoking at the least. During the last half of the video Candace claims that in the weeks prior to his murder, Charlie had lost a $2M donation as well as other donations over him wanting to invite Tucker Carlson to a debate show and this was on his mind. She claims that some of the same people voicing tributes were the ones that had been pressuring Charlie. Tucker makes the claim that Charlie showed him the emails he had received from these (unnamed) people. The majority of the video deals with questions...

    CONEJOS COUNTY, Colo. (KKTV) - A massive search is underway for a pair of hunters who were reportedly last heard from on Thursday, while hunting in Conejos County. According to the Conejos County Sheriff’s Office (CCSO), on September 13, deputies responded to the Rio De Los Pinos Trailhead in an effort to make contact with two hunters, Andrew Porter, a 25-year-old man from Asheville, N.C., and Ian Stasko, a 25-year-old man from Salt Lake City, UT. The sheriff’s office said the pair was reported overdue while elk hunting in the San Juan Wilderness Area, west of Trujillo Meadows Reservoir, when...

    President Donald Trump on Tuesday repeated his attacks on Gov. Gavin Newsom, D-Calif., asserting that the governor was nearing completion on a plan to build low-income housing in an LA suburb ravaged by wildfires. "Shockingly, I have just learned, that Gavin Newscum, the Governor of California, is in final stages of approval to build Low Income Housing in Pacific Palisades," he posted on Truth Social. "How unfair is that to the people that have suffered so much! Newscum allowed their houses to burn by not accepting Hundreds of Millions of Gallons of Water from the Pacific Northwest, and now, the...
  • The Supreme Court, tariffs, and judicial consistency

    09/17/2025 5:07:55 AM PDT · by Miami Rebel · 90 replies
    As SCOTUSblog readers are likely aware, tariffs are taxes charged on goods bought from other countries. In February, President Donald Trump imposed dozens of new tariffs. Now the Supreme Court will decide whether he had the legal authority to do so. The stakes in the litigation are enormous. Tariffs are a crucial part of Trump’s agenda, with huge consequences in the United States and throughout the world. Indeed, after the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit struck down most of the tariffs, Trump said that their invalidation “would be a total disaster for the Country” and “would literally...
