  • The Constitution Does Not Allow the President To Unilaterally Blow Suspected Drug Smugglers to Smithereens

    Reason ^ | Oct 9 | RAND PAUL
    When challenged that killing citizens without due process is a war crime, the vice president responded that he "didn't give a sh*t." Sometimes in fits of anger, loud voices will say they don't care about niceties such as due process—they just want to kill bad guys. For a brief moment, all of us may share that anger and may even embrace revenge or retribution. But over 20,000 people are murdered in the U.S. each year, and yet somehow we find a way to a dispassionate dispensation of justice that includes legal representation for the accused and jury trial. Why? Because...
  • DHS trolls Zach Bryan by using his past hit for recruitment after he teased song condemning ICE raids

    After country singer Zach Bryan teased a new song condemning ICE raids, the Department of Homeland Security [DHS] responded by using one of his past hits in a recruitment video. Bryan previewed a new song, "Bad News," in an Instagram post that quickly went viral. The song includes lyrics lamenting "the fading of the red, white and blue," and that "ICE is gonna come bust down your door." John Rich, a fellow country music star famous for the smash-hit "Save a Horse (Ride a Cowboy)" was one of many who derided the song, joking that "Nashville is full of guys...

    Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) said Tuesday that she has faced more pressure over a petition to trigger a House vote compelling the release of files linked to Jeffrey Epstein than any other issue. “My signature is on that discharge petition, and there has not been another issue where I have ever received more pressure than that one, and I’m pretty much shocked by it. I can’t imagine — I’ve never understood how this is an issue,” Greene told NewsNation’s Blake Burman on “The Hill.” “I think when it comes to women being raped, especially when they were 14 years...

    The Gateway Pundit ^ | 10/08/25 | Cullen Linebarger
    House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries lost his temper and started a verbal brawl in the House hallway on Wednesday after a GOP congressman approached him with a compromise related to the government shutdown caused by the Democrats. As The Gateway Pundit reported, the Schumer Shutdown took effect at 12:01 am on October 1 after two measures to avert the government shutdown failed in the Senate. The measures needed 60 votes to pass. The GOP-backed measure failed to pass in a 55-45 vote – Rand Paul voted with the Democrats. The Democrats claimed that blocking the bill was necessary to ensure...

  • Supreme Court sounds ready to void state ‘conversion therapy’ ban

    Roll Call ^ | Oct 7 | By Michael Macagnone
    The Supreme Court appeared ready Tuesday to rule against a Colorado law that bans so-called “conversion therapy” for minors in counseling, with several justices during oral arguments expressing concerns that it limits free speech. Licensed counselor Kaley Chiles appealed a decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit that upheld the Colorado law as a regulation on professional conduct by medical professionals, rather than just a limit on what can be said to patients. The law prohibits any practice that “attempts or purports to change an individual’s sexual orientation or gender identity.” More than two dozen states...

    The Hill ^ | 10/08/25 6:00 AM ET | by Alexander Bolton
    Republican senators are increasingly uneasy about President Trump’s standoff with Democratic governors over deploying National Guard troops from other states to Portland, Ore., and Chicago. The conflict between federal and state authorities escalated dramatically over the weekend when Trump moved to send National Guard soldiers to Oregon and Illinois despite opposition from their respective governors, Tina Kotek and JB Pritzker. Trump’s use of military forces was all the more controversial because a Trump-appointed federal judge for the District of Oregon ruled Saturday that the administration could not federalize Oregon’s National Guard to support Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations in...
  • Does God exist? Modern science shows he must, bestseller argues

    The Times ^ | 4Oct 25 | Ben Spencer
    Science and religion have never been easy bedfellows. As Thomas Jefferson put it in 1820, priests “dread the advance of science as witches do the approach of daylight”. Five centuries of scientific breakthroughs — from Galileo to Darwin to Crick and Watson — have eroded our belief in the divine. But now, according to a new book, a “great reversal” is under way. Science, its authors argue over 580 pages, has come full circle and “forcefully put the question of the existence of a creator God back on the table”. In a striking challenge to the academic consensus, two French...

    A man who helped barricade a synagogue in northern Manchester has described how an attack, which killed two British Jews, unfolded. On Thursday morning, Alan Levy was inside the Heaton Park synagogue when Jihad Al-Shamie rammed a car into and stabbed worshippers gathering for a service to mark Yom Kippur. Mr Levy said the "monster" attacker tried to bash down the doors of the synagogue and he recalled locking the building down with other congregation members. Adrian Daulby, 53, and Melvin Cravitz, 66, were killed in the attack on Thursday, while three others were injured trying to protect worshippers. Mr...

    Leader says move is is necessary ‘to protect our borders, our veterans and our citizens’Kemi Badenoch has announced that a Conservative government under her leadership would pull the UK out of the European convention on human rights. The move marks a lurch to the right for the Tories, who are attempting to stem a loss of support to Nigel Farage’s Reform UK. Farage has long been a critic of the ECHR and has pledged to leave it if he becomes prime minister. Badenoch said on Friday night that she had “not come to this decision lightly, but it is clear...

    Two women who were punched while walking in Lincoln Park and the Loop said they were attacked by the same man. Other women also have been assaulted, and the man accused in the attacks has a long record of being arrested, prosecuted, and then quickly being set free to attack again. Anne Kurze said she’ll never forget his face. “His eyes, his face, they’re seared into my memory,” she said. She identified William Livingston to police in a lineup after she was attacked in June in the Lincoln Park neighborhood along Clark Street while walking to a dental appointment. “He...

    The Yom Kippur killer was on bail for alleged rape before his synagogue attack, it emerged last night. Jihad Al-Shamie, 35, was under investigation by Greater Manchester Police over a sexual attack carried out this year and was due to appear in court. It is believed unemployed Al-Shamie was also facing mounting debts and the collapse of his marriage, with his wife leaving the family home with their one-year-old son six months ago. Residents said he was a loner who spent his days in pyjamas, bulking up by weightlifting in his garden and annoying neighbours by parking his battered Kia...

    WOODFORD COUNTY, Ky. — An Indiana man convicted in the death of a 6-year-old Kentucky boy is now out of prison on parole. Ronald Exantus was sentenced to 20 years in prison in 2018, but was released early on good behavior and education credits. He broke into the Versailles home of Logan Tipton in December 2015, fatally stabbed the boy and attacked the little boy's father and sisters. He was found not guilty by reason of insanity for murder, but a jury found him guilty but mentally ill on assault charges. Tipton's family also survived the attack and his father...

    Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) joined MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle this week to discuss President Donald Trump’s plan to create TrumpRX, a government-run website offering discounts on select prescription drugs. Paul, a libertarian leaning Republican, pulled no punches in criticizing Trump’s willingness to intervene in the free market and even went so far as to compare the Trump administration to self-identified socialist New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani. Paul shared his interview on X and wrote, “If you’re going to criticize the socialist Mamdani for wanting to own grocery stores, you better criticize Republicans who want a share of Intel, of...
