A legal team from the ADF is asking a federal court in California to put an immediate halt to a ban in the state on political parody.
That was imposed by Gov. Gavin Newsom just weeks ago.
"California's war against political memes is censorship, plain and simple. We shouldn't trust the government to decide what is true in our online political debates. Gov. Gavin Newsom recently signed two laws punishing political speech, with one law taking effect immediately, just as the election season heated up – a time when we need more speech, not less," explained Jonathan Scruggs, a lawyer with the organization.
The U.S. Navy expects its sixth-generation fighter to enter service in the 2030s, bringing with it the ability to operate alongside drones and fly missions at long ranges — capabilities seen as essential for future conflict with China...a program named Next Generation Air Dominance (NGAD)...
Faced with the prospect of a potential future war in the Pacific with China and facing ever more advanced and further-reaching air defenses, as well as the vast distances involved in such a theater, long range was always seen as being one of the core capabilities of the Air Force’s NGAD fighter...
Roughly 0.3 percent of Americans aged 18-44 had a heart attack in 2019 - but last year that rose to 0.5 percent, or one in 200.
While that may still seem like a relatively low number, it represents a 66 percent increase in cases in just four years, which doctors call 'alarming.'
It also means that one in five heart attack patients are now younger than 40...
The moderators picked by CBS to run its vice presidential debate, between GOP candidate JD Vance and Democrat Tim Walz, were assessed by a multitude to have been biased toward the Democrat, just as the ABC moderators during the presidential debate a few weeks ago exhibited their bias.
And a commentator at the Daily Signal is crediting Vance with having delivered a "masterclass" to CBS in dealing with such partisanship.
Commentator Jarrett Stepman wrote, "Not only did Vance, Donald Trump's running mate, handle obviously skewed questions. He also refused to allow the moderators – a "CBS Evening News" anchor Norah O'Donnell and "Face the Nation" chief foreign affairs correspondent Margaret Brennan – to live "fact-check" him without calling them out on it."
...Betsy Packard. According to the New York Post, Packard was at one time listed on the University of Kentucky's website as an MFA candidate at the school's College of Arts and Sciences and a graduate instructor. She even had a university email address.
On Sunday, she put up a post on X with a winking emoji that read, “Hurricane Helene…what if GOD is punishing MAGA populations for their hate and hypocrisy? Works for me!” When X readers took her to task, she was oblivious to the crass nature of her remarks and opted to ratchet up the hate:
“You got hit with an Act of God. Looks like God’s pissed off at you,” she wrote in response to a poster bemoaning the small size of the National Guard deployment following the storm.
“An Act of God hammered you, and you still din’t [sic] hear Him? God is obviously mighty pissed at MAGAs. How can you not see this?” she mockingly asked another user.
Suspects’ tattoos and social media posts indicate possible ties to a violent Venezuelan gang.
The two Venezuelan men accused of the brutal murder of 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray in Houston are being investigated for possible links to the transnational criminal organization Tren da Aragua, according to search warrants obtained by KPRC-TV.
In June, 22-year-old Johan Jose Martinez-Rangel and 26-year-old Franklin Jose Peña Ramos — both of whom were unlawfully in the United States — allegedly lured Nungaray under a bridge after she stopped at a convenience store. The males, who were charged with capital murder for her death, allegedly stripped her, bound her wrists and ankles, and sexually assaulted her for hours. The child was strangled to death, and her body was tossed in a bayou.
Election records needed to support a post-election audit were deleted in violation of state and federal law.
Demonstrates Dominion Voting System vulnerabilities and the presence of non-certified software capable of changing election results without detection.
36 wireless devices were found in County EMS system in violation of law and certification requirements.
Shows manipulation of votes. New election results databases were created during the middle of voting without any direction from clerks. Digital vote records were “reloaded” into new databases faster than any possible scan of ballots. Not all previous vote records were “reloaded”.
We brought food, water, fuel and other supplies as well as helped people affected by the floods, but there are reasons why they are not allowing outside help.
I cannot confirm the reasons why in NC, but i can tell you the reasons in other storms i have worked - i'll explain below.
Let me share with you the first disaster area that i finally realized that this was all about money.
In the FL Keys with Hurricane Irma, after Texas got hit with Harvey, we finished our efforts in Texas and were the first citizen team to make it to Key Largo.
The federal agencies had US1 shut down just South of Key Largo and wouldn't let anyone in or out, even though the road was okay to pass...
After two assassination attempts against Donald Trump, no one can deny the fact that the 45th president of the United States (and hopefully the 47th) is in grave danger.
But who’s posing the threat?
Many conservatives argue that the two alleged would-be assassins, Thomas Crooks and Ryan Routh, were lone gunmen and would-be heroes motivated by leftist anti-Trump rhetoric. Others argue that one or both attempts were inside jobs.

A GoFundMe authorized by former President Donald Trump for the victims of Hurricane Helene has raised over $3,000,000.
As of Tuesday afternoon, the GoFundMe page had reached roughly $3,083,144 of its initial goal of $1,000,000. The GoFundMe page surpassed $1,000,000 raised for the victims just hours after the page had been created.
He notes: “The problem is America has the most useless aristocrats in history.
Even the French dandies who were marched to the razor by the Jacobins were towering specimens of humanity compared to the Michael Hayden’s, John Brennan's, James Clapper's, Mike McFall's, and Rick Stengel's who make up America's self-appointed speech police.
In pre-revolutionary France, even the most drunken, depraved, debauched libertine had to be prepared to back up an insolent act with a sword fight to the death.
Our aristocrats pee themselves at a mean tweet.
These people have no honor, no belief, no poetry, no art, no humor, no patriotism, which is unique to them, no loyalty, no dreams, and no accomplishments.
They are simultaneously illiterate and pretentious, which is very hard to pull off...
Comer has noted that the Biden-Harris administration has not been cooperative in the past when the House panel asked for information on Walz.
“On August 16, 2024, the Committee requested information about the CCP-affiliated entities and officials with which Mr. Timothy Walz has engaged, as well as any warnings or information the Federal Bureau of Investigation has provided to Mr. Walz or his office about CCP influence operations,” Comer noted in a September news release.
