Ban on Guns With Serial Numbers Removed Is Unconstitutional

/0 Comments/in , /by

A federal judge in West Virginia has ruled that a federal ban on possessing a gun with its serial number removed is unconstitutional, the first such ruling since the U.S. Supreme Court dramatically expanded gun rights in June.

U.S. District Judge Joseph Goodwin in Charleston on Wednesday found that the law was not consistent with the United States’ “historical tradition of firearm regulation,” the new standard laid out by the Supreme Court in its landmark ruling.

The decision came in a criminal case charging a man, Randy Price, with illegally possessing a gun with the serial number removed that was found in his car. The judge dismissed that charge, though Price is still charged with illegally possessing the gun after being convicted of previous felonies.

Price’s lawyer, Lex Coleman, called the decision “thoughtful, measured and accurate.” A spokesperson for the office of U.S. Attorney William Thompson in Charleston, which is prosecuting the case, said the office was “reviewing the ruling and assessing options.” (Read more from “Ban on Guns With Serial Numbers Removed Is Unconstitutional” HERE)

WATCH: Roger Stone Melts Down When He Learns Trump Won’t Pardon Him

/0 Comments/in , /by

Longtime GOP operative Roger Stone was visibly enraged when he discovered that former President Donald Trump opted not to pardon him following the 2020 election uproar, newly released footage revealed.

In the video, Stone was shown traveling in a car, believed to be on President Joe Biden’s Inauguration Day, seething on the phone while openly musing about coming to blows with Jared Kushner and blasting Ivanka Trump as an “abortionist b****.”

“Jared Kushner has an IQ of 70. He’s coming to Miami. We will eject him from Miami very quickly; he will be leaving very quickly,” Stone said, visibly irked. “He has 100 security guards. I will have 5,000 security guards. You want to fight. Let’s fight. F*** you, f*** you and your abortionist b**** daughter.”

The “abortionist b**** daughter” retort referred to Ivanka, filmmaker Christoffer Guldbrandsen, who was part of a Danish camera crew that filmed the clip, told the Daily Beast.

Trump ‘Loves the Idea of Testifying’ Before Jan. 6 Committee

By Fox News. Former President Donald Trump “loves the idea of testifying” before the House select committee investigating January 6th, a source close to Trump told Fox News Digital just after the panel unanimously voted to subpoena him.

The source said that if Trump complied with the subpoena and testified, he would “talk about how corrupt the election was, how corrupt the committee was, and how Nancy Pelosi did not call up the National Guard that Trump strongly recommended for her to do three days earlier on January 3, 2021.”

The source told Fox News Digital that it is unclear at this point if Trump actually will testify before the committee, but stressed that Trump “loves the idea.” . . .

In an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital on Thursday, Trump slammed the committee and its investigation as a “witch hunt.”

“The committee is a hoax, a sham, a partisan witch hunt which is a continuation of the witch hunt that has gone on since the great day for our country that I came down the golden escalator with our future first lady,” Trump said. “They have no case, they have no ratings, so they have to try to do this to get publicity.” (Read more from “Trump ‘Loves the Idea of Testifying’ Before Jan. 6 Committee” HERE)

Trump Subpoenaed by January 6 Committee

By Daily Wire. The U.S. House committee investigating the January 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol voted unanimously Thursday afternoon to subpoena former President Donald Trump.

The lawmakers issued the subpoena to question Trump about his alleged role in the events that led up to some of the violence that unfolded that afternoon.

“The central cause of Jan. 6 was one man, Donald Trump, who many others followed,” said Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY), the vice chairwoman of the committee. “President Trump had a premeditated plan to declare that the election was fraudulent and stolen before Election Day.”

Committee Chairman Bennie Thompson (D-MS) said that the panel had an “obligation” to hear from the former president.

“This is a question about accountability to the American people,” Thompson said. “He must be accountable. He is required to answer for his actions.” (Read more from “Trump Subpoenaed by January 6 Committee” HERE)

Dark Brandon: ‘Inflation Going to Get Worse’ — If Republicans Win!

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden claimed Thursday that inflation would only get worse if Republicans took majorities in Congress after the midterm elections.

“If Republicans win, inflation is going to get worse. It’s that simple,” Biden said.

The president spoke about inflation during a speech to Democrats and supporters in Los Angeles, reacting to new data concerning the consumer price index from the Labor Department.

The numbers showed that prices continue to go up, as prices increased 0.4 percent from the month of August.

Core inflation, a data point excluding food and energy, increased 6.6 percent from a year ago, the highest since 1982. (Read more from “Dark Brandon: ‘Inflation Going to Get Worse’ — If Republicans Win!” HERE)

Drug Smuggler Used Tamales to Bring Fentanyl Across the Border

/0 Comments/in , /by

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) intercepted a load of fentanyl pills disguised inside tamales at the Arizona-Mexico border, the Nogales port director Michael W. Humphries said on Twitter Thursday.

The Wednesday seizure included around 2,100 fentanyl pills hidden inside the tamales that were inside a cooler, according to Humphries’ tweet. CBP officers seized over 12,000 pounds of fentanyl at the southern border between October 2021 and August 2022, according to agency statistics.

“Excellent work by officers and K9 teams maintaining a high level of vigilance,” Humphries wrote in the tweet of the recent confiscation.

Proud Boys Disrupt DC-Area Drag Queen Story Hour for Children

/0 Comments/in , /by

Members of the Proud Boys disrupted a DC-area drag queen event Saturday to protest LGBTQ “grooming” of children.

The incident occurred at the Drag Queen Story Hour at Brookside Gardens in Montgomery County, Maryland, according to a report.

“Drag Queen Story Hour is just what it sounds like — drag queens reading stories to children in libraries, schools, and bookstores,” a description of the event posted by Montgomery Parks read.

“In spaces like this, kids are able to see people who defy rigid gender restrictions and imagine a world where people can present as they wish and where dress-up is real.” (Read more from “Proud Boys Disrupt DC-Area Drag Queen Story Hour for Children” HERE)

Court Denies Trump’s Special Master Sneak Peek Into Classified Docs

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Justice Department on Tuesday asked that the United States Supreme Court deny former President Donald Trump’s request to block the DOJ from continuing its review of classified documents seized during the FBI’s unprecedented raid of Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida.

Trump’s attorneys last week elevated the former president’s legal battle to the Supreme Court, requesting that Justice Clarence Thomas, who has jurisdiction over the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals, vacate the stay by a lower court that allowed the DOJ to review classified records taken in August from Mar-a-Lago instead of court-appointed Special Master Raymond Dearie.

U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon issued an injunction against the DOJ’s use of the 100 documents purportedly marked as classified to be used for investigative purposes.

The 11th Circuit overturned Cannon’s order and prevented Dearie from reviewing those materials. The panel had limited Dearie’s review to only the non-classified documents seized from Mar-a-Lago.

Trump’s legal team asked the Supreme Court to intervene, but the Justice Department in a filing on Tuesday argued that the court of appeals “correctly held that it had appellate jurisdiction to review and stay the portion of the September 5 order that requires the government to turn over the documents bearing classification markings for special-master review.” (Read more from “Court Denies Trump’s Special Master Sneak Peek Into Classified Docs” HERE)

YouTube Slaps Dehumanizing Pro-Abortion ‘Context’ Onto Pro-Life Videos

/0 Comments/in , /by

Google-owned YouTube has been flexing its censorship muscles against conservative voices for a while, but the Big Tech company’s tactics just got even worse: Now, tacked onto the posts of pro-lifers, YouTube is directing users to pro-abortion information.

This means that life-affirming videos — such as those that tell the truth about the grisly details of abortion, share deeply held Catholic beliefs on the sanctity of life, and discuss alternatives to abortion, such as the life-saving pregnancy centers Democrats have slandered — will now have links slapped onto their videos that direct viewers to the pro-abortion talking points they’re advocating against. YouTube is following its predictable partisan pattern, using the cover of “misinformation” and “context” to dehumanize unborn human lives.

YouTube’s purported “context” accompanying the videos reads “abortion health information,” with a definition from the National Library of Medicine (NLM): “An abortion is a procedure to end a pregnancy. It uses medicine or surgery to remove the embryo or fetus and placenta from the uterus. The procedure is done by a licensed healthcare professional.” And though YouTube hides behind the cover of medical “experts” at the NLM, like it did when it censored Covid-19 dissenters, it’s notable that NLM is just another hub of progressive federal government bureaucrats within the National Institutes of Health that plugs abortion and has reportedly published thousands of papers on “racism and medicine.”

YouTube’s “context” disclaimer also includes a link to the NLM’s abortion informational page, which suggests ways to abort a child: “medication abortion” or “procedural abortion.” The former is a chemically induced abortion in the first trimester, during which time babies’ limbs, skeletons, and major organs are fully developing, their hearts are beating strong, and they can taste and feel pain. In this type of abortion, the mother takes a pill that blocks nourishment and blood from the unborn baby, which kills it. The mother then takes a second pill to cause contractions and severe cramping and bleeding, leading to the delivery of her dead child.

Breast Cancer Is a Serious Medical Condition, Not a Free Transgender Operation

/0 Comments/in , /by

For nearly four decades, the country has recognized October as Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Sadly, this year we must draw attention to how activists and even some medical professionals are exploiting the complex disease. Breast cancer treatment is the latest medical field to be “queered.”

It may sound astonishing, even unbelievable, but to certain more extreme transgender individuals out there, breast cancer represents not a tragedy, as for most women, but an outright opportunity to embrace personal change. Breast cancer becomes reconfigured as the body’s way of rejecting unwanted female breasts in the only way a repressive heteronormative medical hierarchy will allow.

One online chatroom featured testimony from a female transitioner who now purports to be a male named Mike, who praised the “silver lining” of cancer as facilitating not only the removal of her breasts but also, due to related medical reasons, necessitating a full hysterectomy. As such, “I’d say that someone with a great deal of power wants very much for me to be, or at least to look like, a man.” Cancer seems a very strange thing to be thanking God for.

For some so-called “Flat Activists,” “the male gaze shapes breast cancer care,” and reveals “the deep roots of misogyny” in the medical profession. As “the queer community” are more comfortable with magical thinking along the lines of men not necessarily needing penises or women needing vaginas, it naturally follows that breastless females are simply yet another positive manifestation of androgyny, even if said breasts have been surgically removed due to extreme illness. It appears that being transgender is an active advantage for the truly enlightened cancer patient, who will cope with her diagnosis far better than a straight woman ever could.

Jury Rejects Death Penalty for Parkland School Shooter

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Florida jury rejected the death penalty Thursday for the Parkland school shooter who killed 17 people on Valentine’s Day 2018.

The shooter received life in prison without the possibility of parole for each of the murders, causing disappointment and frustration among family members of the victims attending the trial.

“What do we have the death penalty for,” said Dr. Ilan Alhadeff, who gave a moving victim impact statement in August on the murder of his daughter Alyssa, a 14-year-old varsity soccer player. “We are beyond disappointed with the outcome today,” his wife, Lori, said Thursday, reports The New York Times. “I just don’t understand this.”

“I don’t know how this jury came to the conclusions that they did today, but 17 families did not receive justice,” said Fred Guttenberg, who lost his 14-year-old daughter Jaime.

The shooter, who The Daily Wire will not name, was in the penalty phase of his trial, having pleaded guilty to seventeen counts of murder last year. Fourteen students and three staff members were killed, with the youngest victims only 14 years old. (Read more from “Jury Rejects Death Penalty for Parkland Shooter” HERE)
