One of America’s most liberal governors has signed multiple bills into law demanding greater subservience to the state. With a few signatures, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) has tightened red flag laws, raised the age to purchase semi-automatic rifles to 21 and imposed new social media regulations.

Fox News won’t air continuous live coverage of tonight’s first hearing of the January 6th committee’s investigation of the attack on the U.S. Capitol. The hearing will air on Fox Business Network instead, with anchors Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum providing commentary. According to The New York Times, Democrats openly hope to use the primetime coverage to change their midterm fortunes: With their control of Congress hanging in the balance, Democrats plan to use made-for-television moments and a carefully choreographed rollout of revelations over the course of six hearings…to persuade voters that the coming midterm elections are a chance to…
Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) told reporters Monday that he supports raising the age for buying semi-automatic rifles and is open to an assault weapons ban. Commenting on the availability of the AR-15, the West Virginia Democrat told CNN he doesn’t see a need for “that type of a high-capacity automatic weapon.” Contrary to popular opinion, the AR in AR-15 stands for ArmaLite Rifle, not “assault rifle.” It is a semi-automatic firearm. The Hill has more on Manchin’s stance: Speaking to CNN’s Manu Raju, Manchin said he supports raising the purchase age for such weapons following the elementary school massacre in…
In a state where Democrats outnumber Republicans by a two-to-one margin, elections can seem like an exercise in futility. This year may be different. Across the Golden State, Republican candidates sense they’re on the cusp of a breakthrough with an electorate that’s increasingly frustrated by rising crime, housing prices and an economy on the brink. And the first indicator that they may be right will come Tuesday, the day of California’s primary elections. Unlike most states, the top two vote-getters, regardless of party affiliation, move on to the general election. Among the most bullish candidates is Dr. Cordie Williams. A…
Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) has long sought to become the next Republican Speaker of the House. Viewed skeptically by more than a few conservatives, his ambitions have relied on the support of former President Donald Trump. Over the weekend, Trump announced his support for the House Republican leader’s reelection on social media, helping McCarthy to clear the biggest hurdle in the path to the speaker’s office. (RELATED: What We Know About Trump’s New Social Media Network) As The Hill reports: In a post on social media site Truth Social, Trump said McCarthy is an “outstanding representative for the people of California.”“In…
District Judge Jesse Furman has sentenced disgraced attorney Michael Avenatti to four years in prison. Furman chastised Avenatti for stealing from his former client, ex-adult film star Stormy Daniels. Furman called Avenatti’s conduct against Daniels “brazen and egregious.” Avenatti was convicted of defrauding Daniels in February after stealing $300,000 from Daniels’ $800,000 book advance, all while representing her in lawsuits against President Trump. Avenatti faced up to 20 years for one count of wire fraud and a mandatory two-year sentence for identity theft. But his legal troubles don’t end there, as CNN explains: Avenatti is currently serving a 30-month prison…
The jury has reached a verdict. The saga that began when actor Johnny Depp sued his ex-wife Amber Heard for $50 million over a 2018 op-ed that she wrote for The Washington Post is over.

After decades in a mental hospital following a successful insanity defense, John Hinckley Jr. will be unconditionally released this month. U.S. District Court Judge Paul Friedman announced Wednesday that Hinckley’s release date is June 15.

He also shot a Secret Service agent and Washington, D.C. police officer in the attack. Brady died in 2014. Authorities ruled his death a homicide, linking it to the gunshot wound that left him permanently disabled 33 years before. However, prosecutors chose…

Project Veritas recently obtained an email sent by Ray Shipley, Salesforce’s senior director of technology partnerships.

Democrats and police have steadily drifted apart since then-Sen. Joe Biden sponsored the 1994 crime bill. In the decades since, the party has declared war on police. Criticizing their job performance with broad brush strokes is routine. Emboldened by the hard left turn, activist prosecutors like Baltimore’s Marilyn Mosby left entire police departments unable or unwilling to do their jobs out of frustration and fear of political retribution. The situation confronting our men and women in blue is not merely unsustainable. It is immoral. While law enforcement has historically refrained from entering the political arena, the current situation demands action.…
