    Man in a black truck spotted dropping off Bionic face shields that were quickly taken by protesters.. “It just feels like something is about to happen.” “It looks like a bionic shield is what that's called. That's not the kind of thing that buy in bulk if you don't plan on doing something with it.” “The fact that that's being handed out kind of like candy to everybody gives you an indication that these folks probably plan to be here for a while.”

    A coalition of 24 Republican attorneys general have signed on to a letter to House Speaker Mike Johnson and Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries calling for a floor vote and passage of H.R. 38, known as the Constitutional Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act. The AGs, all of whom serve in states that have adopted their own constitutional carry or permitless carry laws, say they "know firsthand that recognizing a broad right of concealed carry among law-abiding Americans promotes public safety and respects the fundamental liberties of our constituents", and want to see that right extended across state lines.

    This is no way to keep up with grandma. Cruel scammers are cheating elderly people out of millions of dollars with a new high tech scam that uses AI to find their grandchildren’s voices on TikTok and then use the sounds to make phony phone calls designed to trick the seniors, cops on Long Island warned Friday. The scam involves criminals finding a vulnerable and elderly person with grandkids — then scouring social media sites like TikTok for videos of the young people speaking. They then use voice-cloning software and spoofed phone numbers to make panicked calls pretending to be...

    Is democracy on the line in this election? Democrats have made that their main theme of this election cycle, to very little avail when it comes to the presidential election. Polls show that not only has it not helped Kamala Harris, some polls think she and Joe Biden present a bigger risk to democracy than Donald Trump. Jonathan Turley pointed this out earlier, using data from a Washington Post poll report on Monday:Threats to democracy rank high as an issue to the voters in these states, with 61 percent overall saying it is extremely important, including 71 percent of Democrats,...

    President Biden has dropped months of resistance and agreed to grant Secret Service protection to independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. following the assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas announced the move at the regular White House press briefing Monday after Trump was grazed with a bullet at a Saturday rally. “In light of this weekend’s events, the president has directed me to work with the Secret Service to provide protection to Robert Kennedy Jr,” Mayorkas said. Hours earlier, former President Donald Trump demanded that Kennedy receive Secret Service protection, calling it the...

    A Catholic priest who gave a benediction during former President Donald Trump’s rally Saturday told people they needed to pray for Trump moments before Trump was shot and wounded. Father Jason Charron, a Ukrainian Catholic pastor, told CNA a group of about 15 to 20 people called him over to a barricade within the rally site as he was trying to leave shortly before Trump began speaking. “I said to them: I prayed for him and his safety, but that they have to pray, as well, because there are people who want to kill him,” Father Charron said in a...

    New Yorkers are fortifying their homes with panic rooms and bullet-proof doors like never before over fears about crime, migrants and national turmoil — and it’s not just the city’s elite partaking in the trend. “Not every [customer] is an ultra-rich stockbroker — a lot of them are just people, middle-class kind of people,” said Steve Humble, founder of the home-defense contractor Creative Home Engineering. “I’d say the pandemic really kicked off an uptick. Business was really good throughout the pandemic time, and it really hasn’t slowed down,” said Humble, who specializes in top-of-the-line secret doors disguised as bookshelves, fireplaces,...

    A local New York ABC News affiliate reported on the threat squatters are posing to residents and offered tips on how they can protect their homes from unwelcome guests, including putting up "No trespassing" signs. ABC 7 Eyewitness News investigative reporters Dan Krauth and Nina Pineda detailed the threat that squatters can pose under New York law, where a person can claim squatters' rights if they have lived in a home for more than 30 days. Efforts to change this law have gained serious traction in recent days after video of New York City property owner Adele Andeloro getting arrested...

    Lawmakers in the Australian state of Queensland have introduced legislation “to provide stronger protections for trans, gender diverse and intersex people.” At the end of April the state’s discrimination laws will be changed so that LGBTQI+ claimants will be offered a host of protections shielding them from “discrimination and vilification” while “intersex people” can similarly expect to be treated differently and afforded protection. A press release from the Queensland Human Rights Commission has set out the changes, detailing the following provisions: Protections against gender identity discrimination and vilification have been in place since 2002 but now the law will be...

    In the American colonial days, several colonies required colonists to be armed for public safety. Texas, in a statute designed to reduce the risk of mass murder at public schools, will require armed security at public schools starting next year. Texas bill HB3 passed in 2023. It requires an armed security officer at all Texas public schools K-12 starting in 2024. Sec. 37.0814. ARMED SECURITY OFFICER REQUIRED. (a) The board of trustees of each school district shall determine the appropriate number of armed security officers for each campus; however, they shall ensure that at least one armed security officer is...

One statement in all caps. Smith entered it into evidence Friday night shortly after Trump posted it. This is an indication that Smith’s team is actively monitoring Trump’s social media posts.

    In an unlikely alliance, Christian family values groups and an LGBT activist have signed a petition against a proposed Connecticut bill they say could make pedophiles a protected sexual minority.The bill, HB 6638, would revise the language of the state’s anti-discrimination statutes.The current definition of “sexual orientation” in Connecticut law excludes protections for “any behavior that is a sex offense crime.” An update to the law would remove that wording.“If Governor [Ned] Lamont signs it, a person who admits they are a pedophile—even if they haven’t acted on it but just admit it—they could just go to an appeal board...
