McLaughlin Poll: Voters Back Trump on Iran
https://www.newsmax.com/
Key findings from our April 8–15 national poll (1,000 likely voters, ±3.1% margin of error):
★ A majority of voters (52%) approve of military action to eliminate Iran’s nuclear and missile programs, while 40% disapprove—an improvement from last month.
★ Support is overwhelming among Republicans (87%), but notably extends across party lines, with 28% of Democrats and 23% of Harris voters also approving.
★ Voters who watched President Trump’s address directly support military action by a decisive 67% to 29%, while those relying on media coverage are essentially split.
★ That contrast reveals a critical dynamic: when voters hear directly from President Trump, support rises sharply. When filtered through media coverage, support erodes…************The reason is equally clear — media framing distorts voter understanding of the mission.

Southern Poverty Law Center’s Murky Offshore Assets Ballooned As Embattled Group Secretly Funded KKK and Other ‘Violent Extremist Groups’
https://freebeacon.substack.
The Southern Poverty Law Center, which claims to “dismantle white supremacy,” saw its offshore assets balloon by as much as 430 percent over the decade it allegedly defrauded donors by funneling millions to the Ku Klux Klan and other white supremacist organizations, our Andrew Kerr and Chuck Ross report.

The Reactions to the SPLC Scandal Have Been Gold
https://townhall.com/tipsheet/
The reactions to the SPLC getting exposed for subsidizing fake racism has been hilarious: You can’t make this up: the Southern Poverty Law Center sees racism everywhere because they are paying people to act crazy.That’s at the core of the latest Justice Department indictments against the group, which has Democrats melting down and the media going nuts. No wonder MSNBC and CNN viewers think America is racist—they were spoon-fed pure, grade-A leftist nonsense. It was all a psyop, and they fell for it. We knew some of these clowns weren’t genuine. But it was too obvious, yet liberal Americans bought it hook, line, and sinker, which explains a lot about how the Russiagate collusion hoax spread like COVID…Turns out that “white supremacy” was the greatest threat to the United States because the SPLC was spending millions to keep it alive

CNN’s post wasn’t any better. Southern Poverty Law Center indicted in federal court over alleged use of paid informants to infiltrate white supremacist and other extremist groups

Macron’s Cowardice: France’s Retreat Before Jihadism
https://gellerreport.com/2026/
For centuries, the French Republic has struggled to define its relationship with the Islamic world, often oscillating between colonial control and strategic avoidance. Today, President Emmanuel Macron embodies the latest – and perhaps most dangerous – iteration of this failure. While his rhetoric claims to defend laïcité (secularism), his actions reveal a deep-seated political cowardice. By obsessing over domestic administrative hurdles while refusing to confront the ideological and geopolitical centers of radicalism, Macron has proven himself incapable of tackling the menace decisively.

A Republican lawmaker in Minnesota has gone straight to Omar’s office and is formally requesting records regarding her possible involvement in the “Feeding Our Future” program, after Omar skipped out on a hearing in the Minnesota State Legislature on that program and other COVID-19-era programs. Minnesota Republican State Rep. Kristin Robbins, chair of the House Fraud Prevention and State Agency Oversight Committee, sent a letter to Omar denouncing her no-show at a hearing that focused on the MEALS Act, a COVID-era relief program that Omar sponsored and was passed in 2020. In the letter, Robbins stated:…if Omar thinks the questions from the Committee are beneath her and will just go away because of her whiff on the hearing, she would be wrong. Robbins is now asking Omar’s office to turn over any communications that would show how she promoted extended access to federal child nutrition programs. That communication would include emails, texts, and any meeting records with the Minnesota Department of Education and any of her constituents.

What Wyoming’s Failure Says About the Second Amendment Nationally
https://bearingarms.com/
Wyoming, a pro-gun state, actually sees it the same way to some degree, and that’s clear with their refusal to pass a recent bill that would be good for gun owners and all those who are forced to act in self-defense. HB14 would have helped citizens acquitted of charges arising from using deadly force in self-defense. It would have allowed the citizen to recover some of their legal expenses from the prosecuting county and would have applied to both acquittals and dropped charges. There was even a provision to expedite expungement: There would be no records to haunt the citizen in the future.
Though Wyoming is one of the reddest states, House Bill 14 failed to advance. Twenty-nine Republicans voted for it; 26 Republicans and six Democrats killed it. It’s likely cost was a factor. Eight of Wyoming’s 23 counties have fewer than 10,000 residents, and it wouldn’t take a particularly large settlement to bankrupt them…The cost of defending oneself from charges such as this can easily run into the tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars and would bankrupt most people.

The Supreme Court is under attack. It has been under attack for years, almost exclusively from the left. And by “under attack,” I don’t mean the peaceful criticism. I mean everything from challenges to its legitimacy to outright ignoring its rulings to death threats against conservative justices.
This began years ago. Chief Justice John Roberts initially responded by trying to stay apolitical and by trying to ignore the criticism. When President Barack Obama called him out during his 2010 State of the Union address, Roberts called the stunt “very troubling.” In the last two decades, that has been the entire extent of his pushback against the left…………………..

We found organizations that were receiving grants from the Interior, where 80 to 100% of the revenue of that NGO was a grant from the federal government.”…”And yet those organizations, we were the sole source of their revenue, but they would have a CEO making $650,000 and four $400,000 lobbyists,”

The officer returned fire and AlQudah fled on foot into a nearby apartment complex. The officer pursued AlQudah, giving commands to stop. The officer fired his duty weapon, striking AlQudah. The officer immediately began rendering first aid until Houston Fire Department paramedics arrived. AlQudah was pronounced deceased at the scene.

This event would never have happened with the Militarily Top Secret Ballroom currently under construction at the White House. It cannot be built fast enough! While beautiful, it has every highest level security feature there is plus, there are no rooms sitting on top for unsecured people to pour in, and is inside the gates of the most secure building in the World, The White House. The ridiculous Ballroom lawsuit, brought by a woman walking her dog, who has absolutely No Standing to bring such a suit, must be dropped, immediately. Nothing should be allowed to interfere with with its construction, which is on budget and substantially ahead of schedule!!! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP

Read White House Correspondents’ Dinner gunman Cole Allen’s full anti-Trump manifesto
https://nypost.com/2026/04/26/
Accused White House Correspondents’ Dinner gunman Cole Allen sent a sprawling, crazed manifesto to family members 10 minutes before Saturday’s attack, sources told The Post.
In the 1,052-word missive obtained by The Post Sunday morning — signed Cole ‘coldForce’ ‘Friendly Federal Assassin’ Allen” — and outlined his “rules of engagement” for the shooting and stated he believed it was his righteous duty to target administration officials.
Cole Allen’s manifesto in full:
Hello everybody!
So I may have given a lot of people a surprise today. Let me start off by apologizing to everyone whose trust I abused.
I apologize to my parents for saying I had an interview without specifying it was for “Most Wanted.”
I apologize to my colleagues and students for saying I had a personal emergency (by the time anyone reads this, I probably most certainly DO need to go to the ER, but can hardly call that not a self-inflicted status.)
I apologize to all of the people I traveled next to, all the workers who handled my luggage, and all the other non-targeted people at the hotel who I put in danger simply by being near.
I apologize to everyone who was abused and/or murdered before this, to all those who suffered before I was able to attempt this, to all who may still suffer after, regardless of my success or failure.
I don’t expect forgiveness, but if I could have seen any other way to get this close, I would have taken it. Again, my sincere apologies.
On to why I did any of this:
I am a citizen of the United States of America.
What my representatives do reflects on me.
And I am no longer willing to permit a pedophile, rapist, and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes.
(Well, to be completely honest, I was no longer willing a long time ago, but this is the first real opportunity I’ve had to do something about it.)
While I’m discussing this, I’ll also go over my expected rules of engagement (probably in a terrible format, but I’m not military so too bad.)
Administration officials (not including Mr. Patel): they are targets, prioritized from highest-ranking to lowest
Secret Service: they are targets only if necessary, and to be incapacitated non-lethally if possible (aka, I hope they’re wearing body armor because center mass with shotguns messes up people who aren’t
Hotel Security: not targets if at all possible (aka unless they shoot at me)
Capitol Police: same as Hotel Security
National Guard: same as Hotel Security
Hotel Employees: not targets at all
Guests: not targets at all
In order to minimize casualties I will also be using buckshot rather than slugs (less penetration through walls)
Guests crouching under tables after being rushed out of the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner.
I would still go through most everyone here to get to the targets if it were absolutely necessary (on the basis that most people chose to attend a speech by a pedophile, rapist, and traitor, and are thus complicit) but I really hope it doesn’t come to that.
Rebuttals to objections:
Objection 1: As a Christian, you should turn the other cheek.
Rebuttal: Turning the other cheek is for when you yourself are oppressed. I’m not the person raped in a detention camp. I’m not the fisherman executed without trial. I’m not a schoolkid blown up or a child starved or a teenage girl abused by the many criminals in this administration.
Turning the other cheek when someone else is oppressed is not Christian behavior; it is complicity in the oppressor’s crimes.

White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooting live updates: Trump recounts ‘shocking’ moment he heard gunshots
Cole Allen, 31-year-old California teacher, ID’d as White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooter
Objection 2: This is not a convenient time for you to do this.
Rebuttal: I need whoever thinks this way to take a couple minutes and realize that the world isn’t about them. Do you think that when I see someone raped or murdered or abused, I should walk on by because it would be “inconvenient” for people who aren’t the victim?
This was the best timing and chance of success I could come up with.
Objection 3: You didn’t get them all.
Rebuttal: Gotta start somewhere.
Objection 4: As a half-black, half-white person, you shouldn’t be the one doing this.
Rebuttal: I don’t see anyone else picking up the slack
Objection 5: Yield unto Caesar what is Caesar’s.
Rebuttal: The United States of America are ruled by the law, not by any one or several people. In so far as representatives and judges do not follow the law, no one is required to yield them anything so unlawfully ordered.
I would also like to extend my appreciation to a great many people since I will not be likely to be able to talk with them again (unless the Secret Service is astoundingly incompetent.)
Thank you to my family, both personal and church, for your love over these 31 years.
Thank you to my friends, for your companionship over many years.
Thank you to my colleagues over many jobs, for your positivity and professionalism.
Thank you to my students for your enthusiasm and love of learning.
Thank you to the many acquaintances I’ve met, in person and online, for short interactions and long-term relationships, for your perspectives and inspiration.
Thank you all for everything.
Sincerely,
Cole “coldForce” “Friendly Federal Assassin” Allen
PS: Ok now that all the sappy stuff is done, what the hell is the Secret Service doing? Sorry, gonna rant a bit here and drop the formal tone.
Like, I expected security cameras at every bend, bugged hotel rooms, armed agents every 10 feet, metal detectors out the wazoo.
What I got (who knows, maybe they’re pranking me!) is nothing.
No damn security.
Not in transport.
Not in the hotel.
Not in the event.
Like, the one thing that I immediately noticed walking into the hotel is the sense of arrogance.
I walk in with multiple weapons and not a single person there considers the possibility that I could be a threat.
The security at the event is all outside, focused on protestors and current arrivals, because apparently no one thought about what happens if someone checks in the day before.
Like, this level of incompetence is insane, and I very sincerely hope it’s corrected by the time this country gets actually competent leadership again.
What do you think? Post a comment.
Like, if I was an Iranian agent, instead of an American citizen, I could have brought a damn Ma Deuce in here and no one would have noticed shit.
Actually insane.
Oh and if anyone is curious is how doing something like feels: it’s awful. I want to throw up; I want to cry for all the things I wanted to do and never will, for all the people whose trust this betrays; I experience rage thinking about everything this administration has done.
Can’t really recommend it! Stay in school, kids.
Full WHCD Shooter Manifesto: He Told Family He Was Willing to Kill ‘Most Everyone’ at Dinner to Get to Trump
The Left Were Absolute Psychopaths Following the Attack on the WHCA Dinner
https://townhall.com/tipsheet/
Allen admitted he was targeting Trump officials. However, the media tried to play the ‘we don’t know who he was targeting’ game, which was comical. For now, the left-leaning influencers on social media are pushing the ‘it was staged’ narrative because a) they’re Trump-obsessed, b) they’re generally foolish, and c) they don’t want to be held responsible for their nonsensical, violence-promoting rhetoric that fuels these lunatics trying to assassinate government officials. That is a fact,

The mainstream media has been very busy this morning trying to find a way to either make everyone believe last night’s WHCD shooting was either staged or ALL ABOUT THEM.

Retired Green Beret Unpacks Troubling, Even DAMNING Points About Trump Assassination Attempt at WHCD
https://twitchy.com/samj/2026/
https://x.com/Schwalm5132/
1) He left California and was in DC at the hotel where the WHCD was veing held.
2) Imagine the intent he had to have in order to travel that distance all the while thinking about what he was going to do.
3) He either moved several weapons or procured them in/around DC and figured out a way to get them in proximity to the WHCD.
4) He took the time to load the weapons on to his body (to reportedly include several knives) and nobody noticed.
5) Now here is the kicker…in his hidden location he was somehow aware that the President was in the room and was seated. How/when was he aware of that part?
6) If he wasn’t a guest at the WHCD and he couldn’t see the President from where he was….how did he know?
7) It’s not like he could go look in the room and then go load up with his gear.
8) He was supposedly a guest at the exact hotel? Like every room in that place wasn’t booked full over a month in advance? In DC, on a Saturday, with the WHCD in the same hotel….have you ever booked a hotel in DC during a Major Presidential event? Good luck!!!
All of it screams that he had help from someone in DC. Someone with some serious knowledge and capabilities.
You just don’t pull off something like that on a whim and without some serious reconnaissance ahead of time.
Oops! Judge Blocks Bulletproof WH Ballroom Right Before Assassination Attempt Proves Why It’s Needed
https://twitchy.com/justmindy/
via Adrian Vermeule @Vermeullarmine – https://x.com/Vermeullarmine/
On April 16, in his most recent opinion in the ongoing litigation over the construction of the White House ballroom, Judge Leon of the federal district court in DC wrote: “The fact that the ballroom is planned to include security features such as bullet-proof windows and a drone-proof roof does not bring the structure within the scope of the
[national security] exception. While these features may well be beneficial, Defendants have not provided any national security justification for why these features must be installed immediately such that they should be excluded from the scope of the injunction.”
Seems like the ballroom where the President hangs out really needs all that fancy security after all, Judge Leon.

The Trump Derangement Syndrome that so many have reveled in and promoted and built upon with ever-increasing stridency and hysteria only serves to further convince us that the Democratic Party’s current progressive masters, and, by extension, convenient mouthpieces, are purposefully advocating for violence in order to whip their footsoldiers with the short-circuited brains into doing the dirty work for them. A Democratic Party call-to-action is couched in far different terms than one we hear. They’re not asking for votes. They’re soliciting violence volunteers safe within what they see as a thin shield veneer of plausible deniability…It’s a deep, festering sickness eating its way through the pustular crust of the progressive Democratic body politic…

WHCD Shooter’s Social Media Posts, Manifesto Show Hatred of Trump as Media Search for ‘Motive’

The alleged shooter who succeeded in shutting down Saturday evening’s White House Correspondents’ Association dinner, Cole Tomas Allen, recently shared posts on the left-wing social media platform Bluesky arguing that President Trump should be “tried for high crimes,” that ICE should be abolished, and that Trump ally Elon Musk is “a Nazi,” the Free Beacon’s Collin Anderson scooped. Furthermore, in a manifesto first described by the New York Post, Allen said he was “no longer willing to permit a pedophile, rapist, and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes.” Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said Sunday morning that top Trump administration officials were the target of the attempted shooting rampage.

The Left’s Sneaky War on Free Speech: It’s Called ‘Epistemic Violence’
https://hotair.com/walter-
Epistemic violence, stripped of its academic pretensions, is simply critical thinking. Apply reason and logic to understand the world, and the left brands you guilty. They have deliberately appropriated the word “critical” for their theories—critical race theory, critical gender theory, critical social theory—because “critical thinking” carries a positive connotation among rational people. Yet their version means the opposite: rejecting objective standards in favor of subjective “knowledges.”…Epistemic injustice, they claim, occurs when one form of knowledge—typically Western, scientific, or empirical—is deemed more valid than others. This framework prioritizes “lived experience” over evidence, elevating personal anecdote as unassailable expertise. Rugged individualism, the scientific method, a strong work ethic, grammar, and even timeliness get condemned as tools of “white supremacy.” Hate speech, they argue, sustains this “injustice” and must be curbed…The solution, in their view? Construct freedom of speech by limiting it for disfavored groups. “If there are groups that are going to use their freedom of speech to use hate speech and curb the freedom of speech of other people, those groups need to be stopped,” says Brazilian academic Victor Foresti Castro. Criminalize homophobia, racism, transphobia, he says. Position the state as protector of the “weakest entity.”

Those purchases were separated by several months, and there’s no reason why either of them would have raised any red flags at the time. So what the heck is Kenyatta talking about?

He was armed and nearly entered the ballroom at the Washington Hilton, but he tripped before he could breach the venue. He was later apprehended by federal agents, and he admitted that he was targeting Trump officials. His manifesto was clear that the president was also a target, the primary one. And Goldman believes Trump is responsible for the attempts on his life or something.

No, sir. You and your party are getting owned because saying this Democrat or that Democrat is scum is very different from saying Trump must be taken out, he’s a threat to democracy, and it’s time for maximum warfare. One is ad hominem—you can argue whether that’s right—but the Democrats have for years peddled assassination-inspiring/civil war porn.
Democrats Always Act Surprised When One of Their Own Tries to Murder Trump

In their attempt to get President Donald Trump killed, Democrats are hitting zero. You might think that’s a glib way to put it, but how else can you explain the repeated attempts to inspire someone to kill the president and the deflated “we have to condemn all political violence” that inevitably follows? It’s performance art – they have to pretend to be shocked that someone acted on what they’d been openly hinting they’d like to have happen, because otherwise the next person might not be inspired by their rhetoric to pick up the mantle and try to finish the job.

Data centers are devouring the electrical grid. Is a crash around the corner?
https://www.theblaze.com/
America’s scramble for technological dominance is outpacing its power supply.
The technology industry tends to describe its obstacles as temporary inconveniences, friction to be optimized away. The power problem is not that kind of obstacle. A modern data center, before it is a real-estate asset or a monument to computational ambition, is an electrical system. IT equipment can represent 95% of its total demand. Cooling systems are themselves power-electronics loads. For the highest-performing AI facilities, operators have begun to omit traditional backup protection for their servers, relying instead on software checkpointing and restart logic, because the weight of the electrical infrastructure has become something to work around. “Construction complete” does not mean the facility can be turned on. Completion requires that the utility interface, the internal electrical architecture, the backup strategy, and the thermal system are synchronized and tested. The construction is the least of it.

Self-Avowed ‘Socialist Socialite’ Roasted After Mocking Budget Dress Worn by Hegseth’s Wife
https://www.westernjournal.
Socialism is often defined as a system that rejects private ownership in favor of public or collective control. Wealth, in that framework, is meant to be redistributed rather than accumulated.
A socialite, by contrast, is someone who moves comfortably within elite, often affluent circles. Wealth in that world is not just present — it’s performed, curated, and displayed.
Put simply, one ideology treats wealth as a problem to be solved, and the other treats it as a marker of status to be celebrated.

Thankfully, the mockery wasn’t far behind Devi, with many pointing out that her remarks were as airheaded as the entire concept of being a “socialist socialite.”
In Cities Across America, Homeless Services Are Doled Out Based on Race and Sexual Identity
https://freebeacon.com/
Rolled out in October 2024, the Multnomah Services and Screening Tool awards up to 5 points to non-white, non-straight applicants who speak English as a second language—more than the 4 points it would award a domestic violence survivor with a six-year-old child who has been homeless for over a year. The rubric, obtained by the Washington Free Beacon through a public records request, is “designed to prioritize … BIPOC households, LGBTQIA2S+, [and] people with disabilities,” according to a Frequently Asked Questions pamphlet. It awards 1 point for “interest in LGBTQ services,” 2 points for “English as a second language,” and another 2 points for “interest in culturally specific services,” a catch-all term for Portland’s race-based housing programs. Maryland and Minnesota use the index to allocate funds for housing, rental assistance, and, in Maryland’s case, street outreach and emergency shelters, according to documents from both states. A third state, Oregon, used the index to allocate rental assistance from 2021 to 2023.
Warmth of Collectivism Mamdani Declares ‘Historic’ Crisis After Blowing Deadline, Pushes State Bailout
https://redstate.com/ben-
New York City’s self-described democratic socialist mayor, Zohran Mamdani, has made history, just not the kind worth bragging about. Barely months into office, he has blown past a statutory budget deadline for the first time since 2015, declared a fiscal crisis of “historic magnitude,” and responded to a $5.4 billion budget gap the way any good socialist would: by asking someone else to pay for it. Mamdani and City Council Speaker Julie Menin appeared together at City Hall on Tuesday to announce they would delay the executive budget, originally due May 1, until May 12 while lobbying Albany to bail out a city that, under their preferred ideology, was supposed to be thriving.

Limousine Leeches: Sec. Brooke Rollins Drops a BOMBSHELL About People Who Are Receiving SNAP

Secretary Brooke Rollins @SecRollins – https://x.com/SecRollins/
In just ONE state, 14,000 individuals receiving SNAP benefits were driving LUXURY VEHICLES! 
3 Bentleys 3 Ferraris 11 Lamborghinis 59 Maseratis 141 Porsches 244 Alfa Romeos 306 Land Rovers 2,098 Teslas. And this is just in ONE STATE. We need to defend our nutrition programs for those most in need, not for scammers gaming the system. These individuals are taking advantage of the American taxpayer. And together with @VP’s Task Force to Eliminate Fraud, this ends NOW. 4.3M Americans have been moved off of SNAP — but more work to be done!

9th Circuit Court Rules Federal Officers Can Use Crowd Control Munitions Against Anti-ICE Protesters
https://americanjournaldaily.
The line between protest and riot has been intentionally erased, replaced by a violent entitlement that treats federal property as a playground for destruction. This chaos isn’t an accident; it’s the whole point, designed to intimidate and dismantle the very foundations of our society. This assault on civil order has often been cheered on by activist courts, where judges seem more interested in protecting the “rights” of rioters than the safety of law-abiding citizens. The US Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled against a group of anti-ICE protesters, blocking a lower court judge’s order that barred federal officers from using less-lethal munitions to disperse unruly crowds at the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in Portland, Oregon. The facility has been the site of ongoing violent demonstrations since June 2025. The 2-1 panel decision, issued on Monday by judges Kenneth Lee, Eric Tung, and Ana de Alba, the last of whom dissented, states that protesters failed to show that federal officers deployed crowd-control munitions as a means of retaliation, rejecting the plaintiffs’ arguments that their First Amendment rights were violated. The decision is a permanent administrative stay granted to the Department of Justice (DOJ) pending further appeal proceedings, in which the panel ruled that the Trump administration is “likely to succeed on the merits” of the case.
Armed Response — Not Gun Control — Stopped the D.C. Hilton Attack
https://txgunrights.org/armed-
What ultimately stopped the threat was not a regulation or a policy. It was an armed response. Security personnel and law enforcement officers on site were able to intervene and neutralize the situation before it escalated further. This outcome aligns with a large body of research showing that the presence of armed defenders significantly reduces both the duration and severity of violent incidents. When resistance is immediate, attackers are far more likely to be stopped before causing widespread harm.
Why This Matters for Texas
The policy implications are especially relevant for states like Texas, which have taken a different approach. Rather than focusing on restricting access, Texas has increasingly emphasized the role of lawful self-defense. Constitutional Carry, along with strong legal protections for justified use of force, reflects an understanding that public safety depends not just on prevention, but on the ability to respond when prevention fails.

The Alamo fell in blood and turned Texas into a cause
https://www.msn.com/en-us/
The Battle of the Alamo was a crushing military defeat for the Texan defenders, but the brutality of the siege gave the rebellion a far more powerful cause. Outnumbered and overrun after nearly two weeks under bombardment, the defenders were wiped out in a final assault that showed there would be no mercy. But instead of ending the revolt, the massacre hardened Texan resolve and turned Remember the Alamo into a rallying cry. What changed here was not the battlefield result, but the political and emotional force that helped drive Texas to independence just weeks later.

What Does the Future Hold on Political Violence
https://bearingarms.com/
…Democrats are not interested in turning down the temperature or abandoning political violence; they are only disappointed that the “lone wolves” they inspired have been unsuccessful. Progressives see political violence as their birthright and will not stop deploying it unless they are stopped with immediate and severe consequences. While Democrats will deliver tired platitudes about political violence having no place in our country, the truth is that violence has been central to their strategy for a long time. From the race riots of the 1960s to the terror bombings of the 1970s to modern-day assassinations, leftists have regularly wielded violence……………

The Supreme Court handed the First Choice pro-life pregnancy center a huge victory Wednesday, ruling that it can challenge a New Jersey investigation seeking its private donor information. In a 9-0 opinion written by Justice Neil Gorsuch, the high court held that the state attorney general’s 2022 subpoena, sent after the creation of a “Reproductive Rights Strike Force,” was chilling to First Amendment freedoms.
Obama, Mamdani, other Democrats throw ugly tantrums after SCOTUS strikes racial gerrymander
https://www.theblaze.com/news/
Democrats and other radicals have framed the Supreme Court’s ruling against unconstitutional racial gerrymanders in apocalyptic terms…Their case, Louisiana v. Callais, ultimately made its way to the U.S. Supreme Court, which ruled on Wednesday that “because the Voting Rights Act did not require Louisiana to create an additional majority-minority district, no compelling interest justified the State’s use of race in creating SB8, and that map is an unconstitutional racial gerrymander.”…Beyond striking down the racial gerrymander in its 6-3 decision, the court provided some much-needed clarity on “whether compliance with the Voting Rights Act can indeed provide a compelling reason for race-based districting.”…”§2 imposes liability only when the evidence supports a strong inference that the State intentionally drew its districts to afford minority voters less opportunity because of their race.”… the court’s clarifications appeared to be aimed at providing states with guidance on how to comply with Section 2 of the VRA without unduly discriminating on the basis of race and violating the U.S. Constitution,

US Jobless Claims Hit a Number Not Seen Since Nixon Was President
https://redstate.com/bobhoge/
The number of Americans filing for unemployment benefits tumbled to their lowest level more than 50 years last week despite a number of economic headwinds including the war in Iran. U.S. jobless aid applications for the week ending April 25 fell by 26,000 to 189,000, down from the previous week’s 215,000, the Labor Department reported Thursday. That’s well below the 214,000 new applications analysts surveyed by the data firm FactSet were expecting. ,Filings for unemployment benefits are considered a proxy for U.S. layoffs and are close to a real-time indicator of the health of the job market.

It doesn’t appear that Pacheco was actually prohibited from possessing a firearm. He just didn’t go through all of the steps to acquire the Second Amendment permission slip before having a gun in his car. In 29 states, that wouldn’t be an issue, but Pacheco has the misfortune of living in a state that makes it a felony offense to transport or possess a loaded firearm in a vehicle without a carry permit.
