Supreme Court Vacates Ruling Upholding California’s Large-Capacity Gun Magazine Ban

/0 Comments/in , /by

The U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday vacated a ruling in a San Diego case that upheld California’s ban on gun magazines that hold more than 10 bullets and sent it back to a lower court to reconsider following the high court’s major decision in a gun case last week.

The Supreme Court also ordered similar fresh looks on other gun restrictions in Hawaii, New Jersey and Maryland.

In light of last week’s ruling — which said that Americans have a right to carry a gun outside the home — the Supreme Court said lower courts should take another look at several cases that had been awaiting action by the high court. Those cases include one about a Maryland assault weapons ban and another regarding a Hawaii law that limits who can carry a gun outside the home.

‘I’M OUT OF HERE’: Biden Abruptly Ends Press Conference as Reporters Shout Questions (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Biden hastily ended a press conference on Thursday, turning his back as reporters shouted questions and declaring, “I’m out of here.”

Biden answered several questions from a pre-determined list of reporters during a press conference in Madrid, Spain, following the NATO Summit before he said, “All right, guys,” and attempted to wrap things up. Multiple reporters still wanted to ask questions, and someone in the crowd promised to be quick, but Biden shut it down nonetheless.

“There’s no such thing as a quick one. I’m out of here,” Biden said as he walked away from the podium as numerous reporters had their hands raised.

Biden, who has a history of walking away from reporters attempting to ask questions, smiled as he exited the stage while multiple voices were heard shouting, “Mr. President.”

Earlier in the press conference, Biden repeatedly referenced a pre-determined list of reporters he was instructed to call on. (Read more from “‘I’m Out of Here’: Biden Abruptly Ends Press Conference as Reporters Shout Questions” HERE)

State Moves to Restrict Transgender Surgeries for Minors

/0 Comments/in , /by

Alabama is moving to prohibit transgender medication and surgeries for minors just days after the landmark Supreme Court case overturning Roe v. Wade.

The state is among the first to cite Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization to argue for banning sex-change surgery for minors, according to the Associated Press. Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall’s office is asking for the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to lift an injunction to allow Alabama to enforce a state law making it a felony to give puberty blockers or hormones to minors, arguing transitioning for minors is not a constitutional right or “deeply rooted in our history or traditions.”

Early this spring, Alabama’s state legislature passed a bill criminalizing sex-changing procedures for minors in the state, which was then signed by Gov. Kay Ivey (R) before a federal judge issued a preliminary injunction blocking the measure.

Alabama could be at the forefront of other states pursuing a similar course of action. Last week, the Texas GOP adopted a platform that included support for banning transgender medication and surgery for minors, along with forbidding “Drag Queen Story Hour” events at Texas schools and libraries.

Poll: Most Hispanic Voters Support Trump’s ‘Title 42’ Border Policy

/0 Comments/in , /by

A majority of Hispanic voters support former President Donald Trump’s Title 42 immigration policy that makes it easier for the federal government to deport border crossers and illegal aliens, according to an Axios-Ipsos poll released Thursday.

Axios found that 51 percent of Hispanic Americans support keeping Title 42 in place. On the other hand, just 44 percent are opposed to the policy.

“I think because it’s a COVID mitigation thing, we do see sort of higher support for it, than if it were just sort of a pure immigration concern,” Ipsos pollster and senior vice president Chris Jackson told Axios. Jackson was reportedly “surprised” that most Hispanics supported Title 42.

These poll numbers come as President Joe Biden’s administration is in a legal dispute over the pandemic-era immigration policy. After Biden announced the program would end in May, 21 states sued the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), alleging Biden unlawfully terminated the program.

A federal judge ordered Biden to keep Title 42 in place as a result of the lawsuit. (Read more from “Poll: Most Hispanic Voters Support Trump’s ‘Title 42’ Border Policy” HERE)

Insurance Company Offers Employees Money for Birth, Adoption

/0 Comments/in , /by

While many high-profile companies are offering employees money for abortion tourism in the wake of Roe v. Wade being overturned, a Texas-based insurance company is taking the opposite approach by allocating funds to new parents instead.

Buffer Insurance, a small company headquartered in Southlake, Texas, took a stand for both biological and adoptive parents and mentioned the Supreme Court decision when they announced the new initiative on Facebook.

They shared:

How Buffer responds to Roe v. Wade: Buffer will pay the medical costs for our employees who birth babies [and] provide paid time off for employees to have maternity & paternity leave. Buffer will pay for the medical costs associated with adopting a baby.

Researchers Discover Breakthrough Treatment for Strokes

/0 Comments/in , /by

A drug commonly used to bust clots for heart attacks has been shown to be an effective and efficient treatment for strokes, researchers say.

It was found in the largest clinical stroke trial ever run in Canada that Tenecteplase (TNK) is an effective treatment for acute ischemic stroke, Medical Express reported Wednesday.

“Intravenous tenecteplase (0·25 mg/kg) is a reasonable alternative to alteplase for all patients presenting with acute ischaemic stroke who meet standard criteria for thrombolysis,” said the study, published at The Lancet.

Dr. Bijoy Menon, MD, the co-principal investigator on the study, said the findings from the trial are “truly” “important” and “could revolutionize stroke treatment throughout the world.”

“Tenecteplase is known to be an effective clot dissolving drug,” continued Menon, a professor at the University of Calgary. “It is very easy to administer, which makes it a game changer when seconds count to save brain cells.” (Read more from “Researchers Discover Breakthrough Treatment for Strokes” HERE)

/0 Comments/in , /by

An astounding 85% of Americans said that the country was headed in the wrong direction in a recent survey.

The AP-NORC survey found that only 14% of Americans said that the country was headed in the right direction, a dire result for Democrats hoping to hold on to congressional power in the midterm elections.

The percentage of Americans optimistic about the country’s direction has steadily collapsed from 29% in April to 21% in May and to 14% in June.

In the newest survey 92% of Republicans and 78% of Democrats said the country was headed in the wrong direction.

Americans had a worsening negative view of President Joe Biden in the survey. (Read more from “Percentage of Americans Saying the Country Is Headed in the Wrong Direction Reaches Shocking New High” HERE)

Poll: Majority Says States Should Be Able to Determine Who Carries Concealed Weapons

/0 Comments/in , /by

Earlier this week, the U.S. Supreme Court sided with gun advocates, striking down a law against the concealed carry of firearms in New York, saying that it violated rights guaranteed by the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

Now most Americans believe states should be able to determine who can carry a concealed weapon.

A new poll release by Monmouth University, found that 56 percent of U.S. citizens think that individual states should be allowed to limit who can carry concealed handguns in their state, while 42 percent of people disagreed.

The court is expected to make a similar decision that will affect New Jersey, California, Hawaii, Maryland, Massachusetts and New York. . .

Meanwhile, 73 percent of Americans say they support legislation that requires a comprehensive background check before being a firearm, while 49 percent said they would support a law that establishes a national gun ownership database to register all guns in the country.
