GOP Rep. Says He’s ‘Open’ to Assault Weapons Ban; Fox News Anchor Pleads for Gun Control

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Daily Caller. Republican Illinois Rep. Adam Kinzinger said during Sunday’s “State of the Union” that he is “open” to supporting a federal ban on assault weapons in the aftermath of the Uvalde massacre.

CNN’s Dana Bash began by asking Kinzinger to explain why Americans “need” to own AR-15 style rifles since he had openly opposed an assault weapons ban in the past.

Kinzinger responded, “I have opposed a ban fairly recently. I think I’m open to a ban now. It’s gonna depend on what it looks like because there’s a lot of nuances on what constitutes certain things, but I’m getting to the point where I have to wonder, maybe somebody to own one, maybe you need an extra license, maybe you need extra training. And so the question is, is it a ban versus is it an additional certification?”

The Illinois representative took shots at his own party for not finding a way to “mitigate” young people purchasing these guns.

“The problem is for people who support the Second Amendment, like me, we have to be coming to the table with ways to mitigate 18-year-olds buying these guns and walking into schools,” he said. “My side’s not doing that. My side’s not coming forward with reasonable ways to defend an amendment that we think is very important,” he said. “So I’m looking at this going fine, if people are going to put forward solutions about certifying maybe who can buy an assault weapon, I’m certainly open to that.” (Read more from “GOP Rep.

Fox News Anchor Pleads for Gun Control

By Yahoo News. A Fox News anchor broke rank with many of her colleagues Sunday by openly calling for gun law reform in the wake of the Buffalo, New York, and Uvalde mass shootings.

“As we’ve said before, prayers are not enough. We have to do something. We’ve got to get the lawmakers to do something,” Arthel Neville said as she covered President Joe Biden’s visit to a memorial in Uvalde for the 19 children and two teachers killed at an elementary school last week.

’Now, the president is, you know, the commander in chief. This is happening on his watch, but he needs the help of Congress to get something done.”

Neville’s guest, Fox News contributor Griff Jenkins, argued that Biden was not uniting Democrats and Republicans on the issue and noted that Biden also failed to do so as vice president after the 2012 Sandy Hook, Connecticut, school shooting. . .

“It’s more than that. It’s lawmakers who are stopping the unification. So let’s be clear about that. Yes, this is happening on his watch. Yes, he is responsible. Yes, he campaigned on a united America. And, yes, he needs to do something about it, but he can’t do it alone.” (Read more from “Fox News Anchor Pleads for Gun Control” HERE)

Uvalde Proves We Can’t Keep Outsourcing Our Kids’ Safety To A Cowardly Bureaucracy

/0 Comments/in , /by

. . .There’s a growing push on the left to surrender children to “the community.” For years, Democrats and the corporate media have preached that the government and its institutions such as schools should make decisions about kids for parents. They want parents to stay out of the debate over radical curricula and encourage teachers to go behind guardians’ backs to call kids by different names and label them a different sex.

There’s a time and a place for “it takes a village” in child-rearing, but in the case of Uvalde, those institutions that are supposed to protect some of the most innocent lives in society miserably failed, proving that the only thing that can love, sacrifice, and protect your kids to the fullest extent is you.

While Albarado risked his life to save his family and dozens of children, law enforcement officers, sworn to protect the community at all costs, waited outside of the school building where they knew kids were being slaughtered.

We can’t count on cowardly bureaucracies that handcuff mothers and fathers of kid hostages to have the same vested interest in children as their parents do. The government didn’t jump to beat down the doors of the school to protect 19 innocent children and two adults from the harms of this world, but mothers and fathers tried to.

Children do not belong to schools, the government, or society. They belong to courageous parents like Albarado who did everything in his power to protect his family and the children at his daughter’s school, while others watched from the sideline.

Horrifying Video Emerges of Man Who Attacked Texas Elementary School

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A highly disturbing video has emerged showing the man who shot up a Texas Elementary School last week holding up a bag of blood-soaked dead cats.

The video shows the 18-year-old Latino shooter who murdered 19 children smiling while holding up the bag, according to video footage obtained by the New York Post, which was so graphic that the publication had to blur out the bag.

The Daily Wire is not showing the video or using the attacker’s name due to company policy about not giving those responsible for mass casualty events the notoriety that they crave.

The attacker “is seen smiling in the undated footage while sitting in the passenger seat of a pal’s car — holding up a clear plastic bag with at least two bloodied cats visible inside,” the New York Post reported. “The sicko was previously rumored to have had a fascination with dead cats and had threatened to kidnap, kill and rape girls who shunned him online.”

David Trevino Jr., who is related to the shooter’s grandmother by marriage, told the New York Post that the attacker was known for harming animals. (Read more from “Horrifying Video Emerges of Man Who Attacked Texas Elementary School” HERE)

The arrest of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband, Paul, followed a late-night car crash, according to police.

Paul Pelosi, 82, was charged with driving under the influence on Sunday morning. At the time, the speaker’s husband was “driving a 2021 Porsche into an intersection near the town of Yountville and was hit by a 2014 Jeep,” the Associated Press reported. “No injuries were reported, and the 48-year-old driver of the Jeep was not arrested.”

Dozens of Babylon Bee Headlines Have Come True

/0 Comments/in , /by

A spreadsheet recently shared by Babylon Bee CEO Seth Dillon shows more than 70 instances where reality has very closely matched content on the satirical website.

The first entry is a headline that reads, “Captain America Rebooted as Feminist, Atheist, Transgender Hydra Agent,” which was originally published Oct. 7 2016. By March 15, 2021, the Babylon Bee was right, as Marvel had named its latest Captain America as an “LGBTQ+ activist.”

While the topics the Babylon Bee writes about vary, from politics to religion and health to foreign policy, the website has been prescient in all of them.

The remains of unknown American soldiers who died in North Africa during World War II will be repatriated back to the U.S. from the sole American cemetery in Africa, the U.S. Embassy in Tunisia said on Monday.

The U.S. and Tunisia signed a memorandum in which the U.S. will be allowed to exhume the remains of unknown soldiers for repatriation to be identified and reunited with their families, according to CNN.

“We owe our fallen heroes and their families a profound debt of gratitude,” Natasha Franceschi, the embassy’s chargé d’affaires said in a statement, according to CNN. “Today’s historic agreement will ensure American service men and women who gave their lives to defend our freedom are recognized and honored for the ultimate sacrifice they gave to our country.”

Strawberries Linked to Hepatitis A Outbreak

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Food and Drug Administration, along with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and other agencies, are investigating an outbreak of hepatitis A that could be linked to fresh, organic strawberries sold in the United States and Canada.

Consumers should not eat strawberries from the brands FreshKampo or HEB that were sold between March 5, 2022, and April 25, 2022, the FDA said in an announcement. Health officials also warned that retailers and restaurants should not use or sell the berries.

The strawberries in question are no longer in stores. However, some buyers may have stored or frozen them for later consumption, which the FDA warns against.

The berries were sold at Aldi, HEB, Kroger, Safeway, Sprouts Farmers Market, Trader Joe’s, Walmart, Weis Markets, and WinCo Foods, among others. (Read more from “Strawberries Linked to Hepatitis A Outbreak” HERE)
