Look how much hatred your favorite celebrities and companies harbor for you in the wake of Dobbs v. Jackson. In the wake of the Supreme Court's decision overturning Roe v. Wade and Casey v. Planned Parenthood, the corporate and entertainment world have joined the pro-abortion chorus in denouncing the decision, the Court, and the pro-life movement. Their reaction has been swift and predictable. The Hollywood crowd wasted no time screeching on social media, according to Newsweek. Bette Midler wrote about the Court: "They did it. THEY DID IT TO US. ... How dare they?" She called a woman who suggested...

With all the wailing and gnashing of teeth going on over the Supreme Court’s decision to end Roe vs. Wade and pass the lawmaking onus on to the states, the court’s decision to overturn New York’s ban on conceal carry and other gun rights might get buried in the chaos. Extreme leftist and corporate “journalist” Keith Olbermann certainly had a lot to say about it, though. Incensed by the idea that a government body might actually rule against common leftist policy, the calls for violence and even (*gasp) insurrection have been rising. Specifically, the left believes that intimidation or outright...

On Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” host Bill Maher argued that when people try to get off fossil fuels before there is a replacement ready, “they wind up going back to even worse fossil fuels.” And that this has happened in the United States and President Joe Biden going to Saudi Arabia “hat in hand, begging them for oil” after vowing to reduce oil drilling is an example of that. After citing Biden’s pledge to end drilling on federal lands, Maher stated, “Let’s just talk about why these things really happen, it’s because people think that they can —...

Hollywood is the wokest place on earth in every other area of social responsibility, but when it comes to the unbridled romanticization of gun violence – crickets.

Abortion, the No. 1 concern in today’s media and politics, ranks nearly dead last among areas voters care about as they struggle with paying daily bills, soaring inflation, and interest rate hikes, according to a just-released survey. While the Supreme Court’s decision overruling the 1973 Roe v. Wade right to abortion has dominated today’s network and cable coverage, the latest McLaughlin & Associates poll said just 5% of voters call it a top concern. Just below abortion, at 1%, is reviewing the 2020 election, over which the media are also obsessing. ... By comparison, 54% cited the economy. “Only 5%...

In a long overdue ruling, the US Supreme Court voided New York's severe restrictions on the right of law-abiding citizens' to use firearms to defend themselves. In New York, no one is allowed to carry a gun outside his or her residence unless they could prove to the police's satisfaction that they need it. Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) called the Court's ruling "outrageous. Who do they think they are telling us what laws we can't have? They are inviting mayhem. If crooks and their victims are both armed what would otherwise be peaceful robberies and rapes can turn into shootouts....

The Supreme Court’s decision to strike down New York’s restrictive handgun law is drawing some interesting takes. Vice President Kamala Harris reacted to the Supreme Court’s decision in the New York State Rifle & Pistol Association Inc. v. Bruen case. Shortly after the ruling was announced, Harris said, “We, the president, myself, many of us are deeply concerned and troubled by the Supreme Court’s ruling today.” “It, I believe, defies common sense, and the Constitution of the United States,” she added.

The far-left, ex-MSNBC host tweeted it has "become necessary to dissolve the Supreme Court of the United States.

The Supreme Court decision on Thursday upholding American citizens’ right to concealed carry firearms outside of their homes has sent the left-wing media into a tizzy.

The Supreme Court just ruled that the Constitution allows individuals the right to carry a gun outside the home. This decision struck down New York state’s law, which required a special permit to carry a concealed handgun in public. New York Gov. Kathy Hochul is furious over the court’s decision. “It is outrageous that at a moment of national reckoning on gun violence, the Supreme Court has recklessly struck down a New York law that limits those who can carry concealed weapons,” Hochul tweeted once the decision of the Supreme Court was released. Hochul has been an outspoken supporter of...

Sen. Rick Scott, head of the Senate GOP’s campaign arm, said Thursday he will vote against the bipartisan gun bill that has won the blessing of Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, putting more distance between the two powerbrokers. Mr. Scott, Florida Republican, said the good pats of the bill are outweighed by the bad, and he said the proposal is far different than the legislation he signed as Florida’s governor following the 2018 shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland. “These bills are not the same at all,” Mr. Scott said in a statement. “One was the product...

A New York Times guest essay argued that American gun culture has been made all the more fanatical because of its ties to Christianity. It also claimed that Christianity makes mass shootings more possible. Author Peter Manseau, a religious author, wrote in his Thursday piece, "But many of our fellow citizens don’t just own guns, they believe in them. They believe the stories told about guns’ power, their necessity, their righteousness." Manseau theorized that this is what has happened at the intersection of American Christianity and the Second Amendment. He opened his opinion piece with the question, "Is our gun...

President Joe Biden’s old age has been the center of attention as Republicans and even Democrats have come forward questioning whether he has the mental and physical capabilities to run the country. And judging by his actions and decisions, it’s probably safe to say he does not. Gubernatorial candidate former Rep. Joe Cunningham (D-S.C.) expressed his concerns about Biden’s possible re-election run in 2024. During an interview on CNN’s New Day, Cunningham said he believes Biden, who is coming up on his 80th birthday, is too old to hold the down the Oval Office for another term. “Yeah, I think...
