Supreme Court Declines to Hear Challenge to Trump-Era Bump Stock Ban

The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday declined to take up a challenge to the Trump-era ban on bump stocks, a gun accessory that allows semi-automatic firearms to shoot more rapidly.

The decision comes after a federal appeals court in August upheld the bump stock ban, which was enacted by the Trump administration in 2018 in response to the 2017 Las Vegas massacre. Then-president Donald Trump vowed to ban bump stocks after it was reported that the gunman used the rifle accessory in his deadly rampage that killed 60 people and injured more than 500 others at a music festival on the Vegas strip.

The Trump administration rule classifies guns equipped with bump stocks as machine guns, which are prohibited by the National Firearms Act and the Gun Control Act. A Utah gun rights advocate and the pro-Second Amendment group Gun Owners of America brought separate challenges to the law, which the Supreme Court declined to hear. The high court did not issue comment on its decision.

Gun Owners of America slammed the court’s decision in a statement.

“This decision sets a horrible and dangerous precedent, one that will allow the ATF to further arbitrarily regulate various firearms. This very same precedent is already being abused by Joe Biden to ban millions of lawfully purchased pistols even without an ACT of Congress!” the group said.

Trump ‘Wants His Old Job Back’

For months now, former President Trump has hinted at a potential White House run in 2024, and for months Americans have held their breath waiting for the announcement.

In an interview with CBS News, Kellyanne Conway, who managed Trump’s 2016 campaign, said that the former president may make his announcement before Thanksgiving.

Trump will “assess the timing of his announcement,” Conway said, adding, “I think before the end of this year.”

Conway said that Trump is as “active as anybody” else in the midterm elections, already building support from Americans by rallying in several states throughout the country. . .

“I will tell you why he wants to run for president—Donald Trump wants his old job back,” Conway said. (Read more from “Trump ‘Wants His Old Job Back’” HERE)

Listen to Trump About Ukraine Before It’s Too Late

By Townhall. During an appearance on 77 WABC radio, former President Donald J. Trump was asked by host John Catsimatidis what things “keep you up at night.”

The former President quickly answered: “I think more than anything else, I think we could end up in World War III and it could be all of the horrible things that took place in Ukraine,”

A growing number of people believe Trump is correct in his chilling assessment. The question then becomes: How did we ever get to such an increasingly surreal and dangerous position?

A few weeks after Russia invaded Ukraine, simply asking questions about alleged corruption in the country; off-shore bank accounts; fake news being disseminated by the Ukrainian leadership; flawed military strategies; billions of U.S. taxpayer dollars disappearing; if regime change in Russia was the ultimate goal with Ukraine being used as a proxy; and that increased likelihood of triggering a nuclear war became akin to daring to question the lockdowns, masks, and vaccine mandates.

Suddenly, asking logical and critically important questions made you a pariah to be shunned by those announcing themselves to be on the side of “Goodness and Light.” (Read more from “Listen to Trump About Ukraine Before It’s Too Late” HERE)

Biden Vows Russia Won’t ‘Get Away With’ Ukraine Annexation

By Associated Press. The United States and its allies hit back at Russia’s annexation of four Ukrainian regions on Friday, slapping sanctions on more than 1,000 people and companies including arms supply networks as President Joe Biden warned Vladimir Putin he can’t “get away with” seizing Ukrainian land.

The Russian annexation, though expected, escalated an already heated conflict that’s become fraught with potential nuclear implications.

Biden said his administration would support any effort by Ukraine to retake the annexed territories by force, setting the stage for further hostilities. And Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced that his country would make an “accelerated” bid to join the NATO military alliance, a plan not endorsed by the U.S. or other allies that could add fuel to the fire.

DOJ Seeks Expedited Ruling in Trump Special Master Case

The Department of Justice requested an expedited ruling in its appeal of the appointment of a special master to examine the classified documents obtained during a raid of former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort.

The department’s inability to access nonclassified documents seized in an FBI raid last month is hampering its investigation into whether Trump illegally moved classified information out of the White House during his presidency, the department claimed in a court filing to the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Friday.

The acceleration would allow the department to “more quickly resume its full investigation without restraints on its review and use of evidence seized pursuant to a lawful search warrant,” the department said. “Expediting the appeal would serve the interests of justice because the portions of the district court’s injunction that have not been stayed restrict the government’s ability to vindicate the strong public interest in proceeding expeditiously with the criminal and national security investigation that underlies these proceedings.”

Trump Doesn’t Need to Prove Claims Evidence Was Planted, Judge Rules

Former President Donald Trump does not have to submit a declaration on whether the Justice Department planted evidence at Mar-a-Lago before his legal team reviews the stash, a judge ruled in a victory for his legal team.

U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon overruled the special master she appointed, who sought a sworn document from Trump’s legal team on whether the DOJ planted evidence. She also pushed back key deadlines for the third-party special master review of material seized.

“There shall be no separate requirement on Plaintiff at this stage, prior to the review of any of the Seized Materials, to lodge ex ante final objections to the accuracy of Defendant’s Inventory, its descriptions, or its contents. The Court’s Appointment Order did not contemplate that obligation,” Cannon wrote.

In her ruling, she took note of Trump’s lawyers’ concerns that their “current inability to access the Seized Materials” would hinder them from corroborating the DOJ’s inventory of Mar-a-Lago records. (Read more from “Trump Doesn’t Need to Prove Claims Evidence Was Planted, Judge Rules” HERE)

WATCH: UFC Boss Dana White Praises Donald Trump: ‘I Love Him’

In a Monday visit with Fox News host Tucker Carlson, UFC President Dana White gushed over his relationship with former President Donald Trump.

“I love him and appreciate that,” White explained, according to Mediaite. “Hopefully I’ve built a business over the last 22 years, that no matter who comes and goes we’ll last and continue to grow.”

“He’s a very very good friend of mine,” White continued. “Donald Trump has been such a good friend to me since the day I met him. When we bought this company, this company had such a bad stigma attached to it within the sport that we could not get into venues. Venues didn’t want us.”

White noted that the ex-president even offered one of his properties to White to help keep his fight empire running during the pandemic.

“He’s a sports guy, he loves sports. He offered us to come and do the event at the Trump Taj Mahal in Atlantic City. We did two events with him. He showed up for the first fight; stayed for the last fight,” White said. (Read more from “WATCH: UFC Boss Dana White Praises Donald Trump: ‘I Love Him’” HERE)

This Senator Wants to Know Why Pro-Lifers Are Held to an Unequal Standard by Biden’s DOJ

The Department of Justice (DOJ) under President Joe Biden has not only gone after former President Donald Trump, who may be a political rival once more in 2024, but ordinary citizens as well. As Sarah covered over the weekend, the FBI raided the home of and arrested Mark Houck for allegedly violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act. The raid came in the early morning hours of last Friday, as Houck’s wife and seven children watched in horror. The details keep getting worse, too, with the raid adding insult to injury considering Houck was already going to have turned himself in.

Houck, however, does appear to have support from Republican members of Congress though. On Monday, Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO), who has been tweeting and retweeting his outrage about Houck’s arrest, sent a letter addressed to Attorney General Merrick Garland inquiring about the tactics employed.

Trump Predicts: ‘Biden May Lead Us to WWIII’

By Townhall. Former President Trump predicted that the U.S. will go to war under the Biden administration.

During a North Carolina rally, Trump warned that President Joe Biden’s leadership will lead the country into WWIII.

Noting Biden’s failed economic policies, Trump said that the stock market is the worst it’s been since 1872.

“But now, we are a nation in decline. We are a failing nation. We are a nation that has the highest inflation in 50 years and where the stock market finished the worst first half of the year since 1872,” Trump told the crowd, adding “and we have a President who is cognitively impaired and in no condition to lead our country, which may very well end up in World War III.” (Read more from “Trump Predicts: ‘Biden May Lead Us to WWIII’” HERE)

Donald Trump Says ‘Stupid’ Biden Administration Could Trigger World War Three With Putin Over Ukraine, and Predicts US Would Lose Conflict to Russia

By Daily Mail. Former President Trump said he hopes is ‘wrong’ about the possibility of World War III because the U.S. is being run by ‘stupid people’ at a rally in Wilmington, N.C. on Friday.

‘I was right about Ukraine. I was right about what, Taiwan and I’m hoping I’m not going to be right about World War Three, because we have stupid people dealing,’ the former president said, as he predicted the U.S. would lose a conflict to Russia.

‘You could end up in World War III and this will be a war like we’ve never had before – won’t even be close, because we’re being run by stupid people.’

‘Putin mentioned the N word,’ Trump told the crowd. ‘You know what the N word is? It’s– no, no, no, it’s the nuclear word. You mentioned the N word yesterday. The nuclear were not supposed to be mentioned,’ Trump continued, as he claimed the Russian invasion ‘never would’ve happened’ under his presidency.

In a rare speech to the Russian nation on Wednesday morning, Putin insisted he would use ‘all means’ necessary to defend swathes of territory seized or set to be annexed by Kremlin forces in the Ukraine.

Here’s What We Know About Letitia James’s Fraud Lawsuit Against Trump

New York Attorney General Letitia James unveiled a civil fraud lawsuit against Donald Trump and his three adult children on Wednesday, marking the latest escalation of the yearslong investigation into the former president’s financial dealings in the state.

In her lawsuit, James is seeking a minimum punishment of $250 million for Trump’s alleged fraudulent business practices, pointing to evidence her office has uncovered that proves the Trump Organization violated several state laws by manipulating its asset valuations.

“This investigation revealed that Donald Trump engaged in years of illegal conduct to inflate his net worth … to deceive banks and the people of the great state of New York,” James said Wednesday. “Claiming you have money that you do not have does not amount to the art of the deal. It’s the art of the steal.”

Here’s what the lawsuit says:

During its yearslong investigation, the New York Attorney General’s Office uncovered evidence of Trump manipulating his company’s asset valuations in more than 200 instances over a 10-year period, according to James.

Trump Reveals Threat He Used to Secure Taliban Deal

Former President Donald Trump said he secured a deal with the Taliban by personally threatening the leader of the Taliban.

In part two of his sit-down interview with Fox News Channel’s Sean Hannity, Mr. Trump criticized President Biden’s oversight of the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, which Mr. Trump had negotiated.

But the 2024 Republican presidential front-runner suggested the chaotic evacuation and the death of 13 U.S. servicemembers happened because the Taliban respected him but not Mr. Biden.

‘Elvis’ 4K Ultra HD movie review
In March 2020, Mr. Trump spoke for 35 minutes with the deputy leader of the Taliban, Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar.

Mr. Hannity said in the interview that aired Thursday evening on “Hannity” that the former president had previously told him that he had told the mullah “that in no uncertain terms you would obliterate him if he dared not to follow every dotted I, crossed T, comma, period” of any deal.
