Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-MS), chair of the January 6 Committee, said Monday evening there would be no criminal referrals of former President Donald Trump or anyone else to the Department of Justice (DOJ) — and Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) promptly disagreed in public. (snip) Thompson: “That’s not our job. Our job is to look at Jan. 6. What caused it and make recommendations after that… We don’t have the authority.”
Gibson’s Bakery filed today its response to Oberlin College’s request that the Ohio Supreme Court exercise its discretion to hear the college’s appeal from the $32 million judgment (which includes attorney’s fees and costs). That judgment resulted from the $11 million compensatory and $33 million punitive damage awards totalling $44 million, reduced by the trial court under Ohio tort reform law to $25 million. The bulk of that reduction was that over $10 million in punitive damages were eliminated by punitive damage caps.
Philadelphia resident Latanya Byrd's 27-year-old niece Samara Banks and three of Banks' sons were struck and killed by a speeding driver in 2013. They were crossing Roosevelt Boulevard, a 12-lane road that passes through some of the city's most diverse and lowest-income neighborhoods. "It was just so devastating," Byrd told ABC News. "We lost two generations in one swoop. I mean, just an instant snap of the finger." As the local population has swelled, Byrd said outdated transportation infrastructure -- grass paths instead of pavements, dangerously short pedestrian signal cycles, overcrowded bus stops, to name a few -- can partially explain why

We refuse to care about stupid Democrat obsessions. We don't care about climate change. It's a hoax designed to fill the hole in lib souls that used to be filled with faith, and for the ruling caste, it's a tool to steal our money and freedom.We don't care about some alleged moral necessity to disarm normal Americans. When they whine, "The purpose of guns is to hurt people," we nod. Yes, they are. Our guns never have and never will hurt anyone who is not a criminal or an aspiring tyrant. But when those categories of bad people get uppity, yeah, we reserve our right to hurt them within
The second day of public hearings of the House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol was held Monday, and focused on attacking then-President Donald Trump for questioning the 2020 election results.The goal was a to argue that Trump inspired those who stormed the Capitol by convincing them that the election had been “stolen” and that they had to prevent an illegitimate president from being installed by stopping the certification of the result.The panel played video depositions of various individuals who had testified before the committee behind closed doors —
Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) is hitting President Joe Biden hard in a new television ad that will air nationwide.
“Joe Biden has destroyed America’s economy,” Scott, who is the chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, said in the advertisement funded by his own campaign, Fox News reported.
“It’s time to be honest with the American people. Joe Biden is unfit for office and should resign,” he added.
The ad is an effort to promote his “Rescue America” agenda, which has been a frequent target of the president. In fact, Biden’s criticism of the plan is where the phrase “ultra-MAGA” originated.
President Joe Biden is running for reelection, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre reaffirmed Monday, after being pressed at a briefing over record inflation following a report featuring Democratic fretting about the president's age.Jeane-Pierre began her response by mentioning limitations on what she can say about politics when speaking from the White House podium when asked directly if the president is running for reelection. 'He hasn't – first of all, let's let's reset for a second,' she began. 'I cannot talk about elections. I cannot be a political analyst from here, or, you know, or the midterms or anything like that, including 2024.
Even in the wake of an assassination attempt against Justice Brett Kavanaugh, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre refused to condemned the illegal protests targeting justices' homes as the Biden DOJ turns a blind eye to the leftists threatening originalist justices. Despite saying that the White House wants protests to remain peaceful, Jean-Pierre on Monday said that the Biden administration has "not weighed in on where people should or should not protest," which is true — but it also further implicates President Biden and the White House in the illegal protests targeting originalist justices including
Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser on Monday ordered 51-star American flags to be displayed along Pennsylvania Avenue ahead of Flag Day, June 14. The mayor said she directed her team to hang the 51-star flags "as a reminder to Congress and the nation that the 700,000 tax-paying American citizens living in Washington, D.C. demand to be recognized. "On Flag Day, we celebrate American ideals, American history, and American liberty. But the very foundation of those ideals, and the basis for our liberty, is representation," Mayor Bowser said in a statement. "DC’s disenfranchisement is a stain on American democracy - a
The White House defended President Joe Biden's economic record on Monday as the nation experienced historic inflation, gas prices over $5 a galloon and the stock market dropping.White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre argued President Biden actually made historic economic gains, which would help the American people go through these economic 'challenges.'She blamed inflation - prices in May were 8.6% higher than a year earlier - the greatest increase since 1981 - on the covid pandemic and on Russian President Vladimir Putin's war in the Ukraine.
It's the photo they tried to hide, but DailyMail.com has obtained the mug shot of shame-faced Paul Pelosi after he was arrested on DUI charges last month. Pelosi, 82, was collared by California Highway Patrol officers in Oakville, California, on May 28 after he blew through a stop sign in his 2021 Porsche and hit a Jeep.The mugshot, which shows Pelosi wearing a neat brown suit and collared shirt, would have been taken shortly after the late-night incident.
Pelosi, who had a blood alcohol content of 0.08%, is scheduled to appear in court over the incident on August 3.
NEW YORK — Wall Street tumbled into what’s called a bear market Monday after fears about a fragile economy and rising interest rates sent the S&P 500 more than 20% below its record set early this year.The index sank 3.9% in the first chance for investors to trade after getting the weekend to reflect on the stunning news that inflation is getting worse, not better. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was briefly down more than 1,000 points before finishing with a loss of 876.At the center of the sell-off again was the Federal Reserve, which is scrambling to get inflation under control.
Former Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Monica Crowley charged that President Joe Biden’s administration and Democrats, in general, have been carrying out a plot to upend the country.The leftist media and Democrats immediately called Crowley’s allegations wild and intimated she was crazy but she was explicit in her accusations describing the infiltration of major American pillars including the media, educational system, and the military. The conservative pundit referred to the KGB in Russia while making her points, bluntly tying the left to communists.Crowley made her comments while speaking with Fox News
Red flag laws are all over the news these days in the wake of the Uvalde shooting and the search for “common sense” gun laws. Red flag laws sound like an answer—simply put, somebody shows signs of erratic behavior, they get put on a list and are banned from buying guns. Simple, right?
No, because nothing in life is ever simple, as RedState’s Brandon Morse points out. For one, people could use such laws for revenge on people they don’t like. Your neighbor’s dog keeps pooping on your lawn? Report him for erratic behavior, get him on a list, see if he ever gets off it. Hint: He probably won’t.
We keep saying it’s hard to go lower in the polls, but Joe Biden just keeps doing it. The only thing that he’s managed to achieve so far in office is hitting every record for how bad everything is.
His Real Clear Politics average approval rating just hit another record low — it’s now at 39.3 percent approval. [Tweet]
He’s also at the lowest point in most polls, including the Quinnipiac poll, which has him at 33 percent, with Americans spending more than $460 more a month because of it. [Video]
At this point, Americans don’t believe Biden gives a darn
A “red flag law” is something that, on the surface, seems like a common-sense idea. How often have we wondered why authorities hadn’t taken weapons away from someone who had clearly indicated that they were dangerous and intent on doing harm. Uvalde, Parkland, and Buffalo are just a few examples of mass shootings that could have been prevented if action had been taken against an individual clearly signaling their disturbed minds to those around them.
However, once you start to notice the talk around red flag laws, you start to see the holes and flaws in the idea.
It’s important to remember that a red flag law
The 2022 stock sell-off intensified on Monday with the S&P 500 tumbling to a fresh low for the year and closing in bear market territory as recession fears grew ahead of this week's key Federal Reserve meeting.
The S&P 500 fell 3.88% to 3,749.63, marking its lowest level since March 2021 and bringing its losses from its January record to more than 21%. The benchmark closed in bear market territory (down more than 20% from its high) after trading there briefly on an intraday basis about three weeks ago. Some on Wall Street say it's not an official bear market until the index closes there and that's what happened
A federal judge rejected former Trump White House adviser Peter Navarro's request for a delayed arraignment and issued a protective order limiting his discussion of his Jan. 6 case Monday.District Court Judge Amit Mehta noted the public interest in the case and sided with the federal prosecutors in determining that Navarro failed to make a strong argument for why a 45-day extension was necessary."The public interest weighs in favor of moving this case forward through its preliminary stages
Ohio governor Mike DeWine signed a bill on Monday to allow school employees to carry guns on school property.
The law requires employees who wish to come to school armed to complete 24 hours of training in programs approved by the Ohio School Safety Center. Additionally, the bill requires eight hours of annual training for approved employees. School districts may choose not to allow armed employees if they wish under the new law.
“This does not require any school to arm teachers or staff,” DeWine said at a press conference on Monday after signing the law. “Every school will make its own decision.”
A mugshot for Paul Pelosi, husband of Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, has been released from the night of his arrest on suspicion of driving under the influence last month. Pelosi was arrested on May 28 by the California Highway Patrol for Driving Under the Influence of alcohol and driving with a .08% Blood Alcohol Content or higher, according to a press release from the County of Napa.Paul Pelosi, 82, was arrested on suspicion of DUI in the early hours of May 29. He was booked into the Napa County Jail and was released about four hours later, according to inmate records.Mr. Pelosi had been in a traffic collision
The January 6th committee will hold its second major hearing on Monday. That followed a primetime production for the first one back on Thursday evening.
What was actually learned during their big opener? The answer remains not much. They gave speeches, showed videos we’ve already seen, and once again brought a USCP officer in to give an emotional account of the violence that occurred.
Yet, these hearings are not supposed to be a rehash of everything we already know, nor are they supposed to be about political grandstanding. Rather, they are supposed to connect the dots back to Donald Trump, with evidence of criminal liability
“Democrats are intervening aggressively in Republican primaries,” having spent $20 million already “to promote MAGA-aligned candidates” who “are likely losers in a general election,” reports National Journal’s Josh Kraushaar. The “meddling” is “paying dividends, potentially taking several big-state governor’s races off the table for Republicans.” In Pennsylvania, Democrats spent “more money on a single ad” boosting “far-right Republican Doug Mastriano” than he “spent on TV ads in his entire primary campaign.”
Democrats on Capitol Hill are holding hearings this week to examine January 6, 2021 and their allegation President Donald Trump, along with Republicans on Capitol Hill, launched an "assault on democracy" by questioning or rejecting the results of the 2020 presidential election. Conveniently, Democrats are failing to highlight their own "assault on Democracy" over the years. The first example is Democrat Congressman Bennie Thompson, who is leading the January 6 Committee. Thompson voted against the certification of the 2004 presidential election and refused to attend President Trump's inauguration.
A college professor was allegedly terminated after posting a video to TikTok dubbing conservatives “the enemy,” according to multiple tweets from the professor.
Former Hood College Professor Simone Kolysh posted a rant on TikTok after a leaked Supreme Court draft indicated that a majority of the high court intends to overrule Roe v. Wade. Kolysh said that conservatives are “the enemy” and claimed that “having a uterus,” being in an interracial marriage, and being gay is illegal. “I’ve always been clear as to who the enemy is and which systems need to be dismantled."
Constitutional scholar Jonathan Turley on Monday sounded off about the House Select Committee’s primetime hearings over the January 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol.Turley, a Fox News contributor, said on “Outnumbered” that House Democrats, in their investigation into the riot, were trying to convict former President Donald Trump of being a terrible person.”“[T]his is a signature move by Speaker Pelosi,” Turley explained. “I was highly critical during the impeachment hearings. When in the hearing I testified on with Trump, the House leadership decided to forgo any investigation in the Judiciary Committee, the calling of essential witnesses.
Former President Donald Trump must be the modern-day Nostradomas because before the election, he made some predictions about what would happen if Joe Biden was elected, and sure enough, they came true.Admittedly, it wasn’t hard to see what would happen if Democrats put their agenda into motion. Disaster usually tends to follow assaults on the economy and the implementation of radical left strategies. That said, it’s almost as if the left wanted to prove Trump correct in his predictions.In a very well done video, Biden is giving a scripted speech about predictions the GOP had made before the election, but someone cut it with Trump soothsaying to a crowd
Flashback from an earlier April 2022 post by Joe Hoft (Photo) Sometimes there are too many uncertainties and obvious red flags for an issue to go unnoticed. This is one of those times. Truck driver Jesse Morgan moved mail for the US Postal Service and came out after the election and shared his story of how he hauled tens of thousands of ballots from New York to Pennsylvania before the 2020 Election. We reported on this in December 2020.
For those of us of a certain age, we know that every time some psychopath shoots up a school and murders students, the Democrats will respond with their clichéd demagogic script. Exploiting the natural horror and pathos of such events, the Donks will trot out all the usual gun-policy suspects, the majority of which would not have prevented most of the attacks.
But that’s not really the point for Dems. Their aim is to smear Republicans and conservatives for political gain. With a mid-term shellacking looming, the recent attacks in Buffalo and Uvalde have the Democrats shamelessly politicizing those tragedies more than usual in order to distract voters
Last week, the Select Committee on Jan. 6 brought forward a pair of witnesses to testify in the panel’s first prime-time hearing to depict the Capitol riot as a coordinated “insurrection.” Among them was a documentary filmmaker named Nick Quested, who was embedded with the far-right group the “Proud Boys” on the day of the turmoil.
Quested gave the committee an eyewitness account of the riot as he followed the Proud Boys throughout the day.(snip) Except Quested did not testify that the Proud Boys attended first as insurrectionists. To the contrary, Quested told NBC’s Chuck Todd(snip) that the group’s leader, Henry “Enrique” Tarrio, was “very receptive” to the documentary crew’s embed.
HELENA, Mont. — Major flooding swept away at least one bridge, washed away roads and set off mudslides in Yellowstone National Park on Monday, prompting officials to close the entrances to the popular tourist attraction and evacuate visitors. The flooding hit after recent “unprecedented rains,” park officials said on Facebook. “Our first priority has been to evacuate the northern section of the park where we have multiple road and bridge failures, mudslides and others issues,” Sholly said in a statement. The community of Gardiner, Montana, just north of the park, was isolated because the roads going in and out of
Reporters from a non-profit investigative journalism organization have discovered that, over the last ten years, foreign investments in American farmlands have tripled.
Just The News reports that the group Investigate Midwest came to this conclusion by analyzing data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). This trend can present a number of national security threats, according to Farm Action co-founder Joe Maxwell.
“The real question is, who do the people of the United States want to be their farmer?” Maxwell asked. “Do they want Saudi Arabia, Canada, China, other countries to be their farmer? Do they want Bayer or Cargill or other large corporations to be their farmer?”
America is one of the most welcoming nations on the planet, but you would never know it listening to our mass media. An unceasing avalanche of contempt for Americans and their “racist” and “backward” ways flows from the mouths of liberal talking heads on cable news. It is particularly maddening to listen to this talk from recently arrived immigrants in positions of power and influence. The likes of U.S. Representative Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), Ana Navarro on “The View,” and MSNBC’s Mehdi Hasan have done very well for themselves in the United States, but they don’t do a very good job of showing their gratitude.
Yet another single step of incompetence for Joe Biden and his administration, but it’s a giant leap for “incredible transitions.” The official data from the EIA will come out later this afternoon, but the Washington Post uses AAA data to declare that the inevitable has arrived. And that it will be shortly eclipsed, too:With the average price of gas nationwide topping $5 per gallon Saturday, surging fuel prices across the United States are creating new strains for millions of consumers and businesses, while compounding intractable political challenges for the Biden administration.
The spike in gas, oil and diesel prices has saddled all kinds of businesses with higher costs
Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) shredded the House January 6 Committee for allegedly altering evidence and lying to the American people over what happened that day in what he called a “choreographed” presentation.Jordan appeared on “Sunday Morning Futures” with Fox News anchor Maria Bartiromo to discuss what Republicans are doing, plan to do following the midterms, and how they are reacting to the Jan. 6 Democratic inquisition.“I want to see all the depositions,” Jordan stated, referencing an altered text message exchange between him and former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows.
California Governor Gavin Newsom tried to reframe the political narrative on crime Saturday, claiming that America has a “red state murder problem,” rather than a problem of homicide in Democrat-controlled cities across the nation. Newsom was speaking with Elex Michaelson, host of The Issue Is podcast, on the occasion of the Summit of the Americas in Los Angeles. He claimed the media had inflated the broader significance of the recall of San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin. Newsom, a former mayor of the city, said that the recall had been “so predictable,” and that he had “enjoyed it,” though he argued that nothing about the recall “warranted the attention nationally
Donald Trump in recent months has been telling confidants that he may launch his 2024 presidential campaign early — and that he’s considering launching it in Florida to stick it to Gov. Ron DeSantis.
Trump has kicked around staging a large, flashy launch rally (with fireworks, of course) that would announce his White House bid before the 2022 midterm elections, according to three sources familiar with the matter.
Despite President Biden saying he opposes the “defund the police” movement, at least four of its proponents have met with top administration officials at the White House since he took office, according to a new report. Fox News, citing a review of visitor logs, reported Monday that Rashad Robinson, the president of left-wing group Color of Change, visited the executive mansion in the summer of 2021. The outlet added that Robinson appeared to have met with Cedric Richmond, who at the time was Biden’s director of public engagement.

UBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — The United Arab Emirates on Monday banned the upcoming Pixar animated feature “Lightyear” from showing in movie theaters after its inclusion of a kiss between two lesbian characters.
The decision by the UAE comes as Malaysia also reportedly will ban the film, raising the possibility other Muslim-majority nations could follow suit on one of Disney’s biggest animated films of the year as the film industry comes out of the depths of the coronavirus pandemic.

On Saturday 31 members of the Patriot Front group, were arrested in Idaho on the way to a protest.
All 31 were charged with conspiracy to riot, a misdemeanor.
They were traveling to a gay pride event with shields in the back of a Uhaul.
Members of the group were dressed similarly in khaki pants and blue shirts and were wearing hats with plastic inside them, according to the chief and video from the scene of the arrest. The men were also equipped with “shields, shin guards and other riot gear,” along with papers.
The stock market began the week with a steep decline, entering bear market territory as fears of a recession among business leaders grow more intense.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average had declined by just over 600 points as of 10:00 a.m. EST, a half-an-hour after trading opened on Wall Street. The Standard and Poor’s 500 index ratio, meanwhile, declined by 100.88 in the same period.
Though no formal definition of a ‘bear market’ exists in the securities industry in the U.S., a decline of 20 percent in value from a recent record-high is widely viewed as the threshold.
NEWBURYPORT, Mass. A family outing while fishing at Deer Island turned tragic after a mother died and her 6-year-son went missing in the Merrimack River on Thursday. The U.S. Coast Guard reports watch standers at Coast Guard Sector Boston received a call at about 7 p.m. reporting six people, two adults and four children, had fallen in the water while fishing on Deer Island. Officials said two people, a woman and a child, were recovered by a good Samaritan and transferred to emergency medical services for treatment. They were taken to Anna Jacques Hospital. Three other family members, a man and two children, were recovered by the Amesbury Police Department.CORRECTIONS*
Joe Biden’s much-heralded international embargo of Russian oil purchases has flopped.Vladimir Putin is selling more oil to the world now than before his unprovoked invasion of Ukraine provoked Biden’s ineffective boycott.Not only that, but because of the economic and political uncertainty surrounding the Russian’s “special operation” and the mixed response of other countries, the global price of oil has surged about 30 percent.So, Putin is not only selling more oil because of his war. He’s also reaping much greater revenues at higher prices because of his war. Which provides far greater sums to finance the now prolonged fighting that Biden professes to oppose.

A Delaware man and his son charged in the January 6 riot in the Capitol Building are hoping that a federal judge appointed by Trump lets them off with a slap on the wrist, claiming they were waved inside by cops. U.S. District Judge Trevor McFadden acquitted a New Mexico man in April on similar charges, a rare blemish on the Justice Department's record of securing convictions in Capitol riot cases. Kevin Seefried, who carried a Confederate battle flag inside the Capitol after he entered the building with his son, Hunter, were 'early, aggressive and active participants' in the Capitol breach and among the first rioters to enter

It’s what she doesn’t say that makes Kathleen Buhle’s divorce memoir, “If We Break” — out Tuesday — so compelling.For 24 years she was, of course, Kathleen Biden, wife of the notorious Hunter, and daughter-in-law of the president.In the final chapter, she goes to DC Superior Court to renounce her married name and reclaim her identity as Kathleen Buhle, of Chicago’s working-class South Side. She never explains explicitly why she abandoned the Biden name, although taunts from Hunter after their ugly divorce played a role. “Are you enjoying your last name,” he would say.
Joe Biden's Homeland Security secretary, Alejandro Mayorkas, whose open-borders policies have created Swiss-cheese loopholes for virtually everyone in the world who wants to come here outside the immigration process, apparently didn't even follow his own lax policy directives.
Which is why he lost yet another lawsuit brought on by the states of Texas and Louisiana about the law requiring him to deport illegal aliens convicted of felonies serious enough to land them in prison. A federal judge jumped down his thoat with a 96-page ruling.

There’s an age-old philosophical thought experiment that asks, “If a tree falls in a forest and no one is there to hear it, does it still make a sound?” But after Thursday’s stunt by the Democratic Party known as the ‘Capitol Assault Hearings,’ we have a new, modified version that asks this: “If a failing political party puts on a primetime TV extravaganza but no one tunes in to watch it, will it make any difference in the November elections?” Food for thought.

We hear plenty of reasons for the perfect storm that imploded California. One-party, progressive government, of course. Decades of unchecked illegal immigration, without doubt. Years of mass flight out of state of the productive middle classes, certainly.
But perhaps the most important, but overlooked, reason has been the infusion of trillions of dollars of mostly tech capital into the state. Unimaginable sums of market capital warped politics and led to a top-down, feudal society, run by progressive elites who are shielded from the ramifications of their own toxic ideologies.
MSNBC anchor Katy Tur has opened up about her reaction when her legendary broadcaster father came out as transgender to her almost a decade ago.

Inflation in May hit 8.6%, the highest level since 1981, much higher than the expected 8.2% increase, and despite all the “expert” predictions that inflation had already peaked.
Is it any wonder that nobody believes what the elites tell us anymore?
President Joe Biden said on Friday that he “is going to continue to do everything we can to lower the prices for the American people.” Like what? By attacking oil companies and blaming Putin? If the experts were right, Biden wouldn’t have to do anything, because they were all exclaiming in April that inflation had peaked and would soon be heading downward.
Nearly half of the 1.6 million Americans who identify as transgender are teenagers or young adults, and some of the highest rates of youth transgenderism occur in blue states, according to a new study.
The study, conducted by the University of California Los Angeles Williams Institute, found that transgenderism rates varied between states, with New York seeing a 3% rate among youth compared to roughly 0.6% in Wyoming.
Fewer than half of all Americans are convinced that the Democrats’ Jan. 6 Commission is making an honest attempt at discovering the truth about the mostly peaceful political demonstrations that took place on Capitol Hill that day, the latest data from the I&I/TIPP Poll show.
Some 44% of Americans said they were either “very confident” (21%) in the committee’s investigation or “somewhat confident” (23%) that the Democrat-dominated Jan. 6 Commission “will make a genuine effort to uncover the truth.”
The online poll of 1,310 adults was taken from June 8 to June 10. It has a margin of error of +/- 2.8 percentage points.
If you are among the 8 in 10 Americans who believe the economy is tanking, relax. Never mind that the consumer-price index just hit 8.6 percent. Ignore skyrocketing gas prices. Forget that the gross domestic product shrank at an annual rate of 1.5 percent in the first quarter of 2022 and is expected to shrink further. Disregard the collapsing supply chain highlighted by empty shelves in the grocery store. Dismiss the dizzying descent of the Dow Jones Industrial Average. According to the White House and the legacy media, none of these things matter. The real problem bedeviling the economy is bad vibes.
I watched that joke of a “hearing” on Thursday, the one about January 6th and the “threat to democracy” created by angry people with no focus or objective, some of whom chanted mean things. Needless to say, I was unmoved. Only 2 members spoke, Chair Bennie Thompson and Liz Cheney, and neither of them really “spoke” at all, they read. Their eyes were glued to the teleprompter the way someone who can’t swim is glued to a raft in the deep end of a pool. There is more convicing line delivery in a 1970s porn movie than those 2 gave Thursday night.
The national gas average hit a new record of $5.00 a gallon this week, and it doesn’t look like prices are going to fall anytime soon. Americans are frustrated with President Joe Biden’s lies about the economy, and many believe he is at fault for their wallets shrinking.
A new poll conducted by the Trafalgar Group found that over 53 percent of people “believe the Biden administration is intentionally letting gas prices rise to make Americans use less fossil fuels.”
While 56 percent of voters agreed that the high fuel prices is Biden’s fault.
Gas prices have nearly doubled since Biden took office just over a year ago

He continued, “I make no apologies for it because I understand the history of this country, and I don’t think we should be afraid to say this. Repeal the Second Amendment. Repeal the Second Amendment.”
Moore added, “That is it. That is what we need to do. We need to start a movement to repeal the Second Amendment

Hogg did not mention the numerous times armed resource officers have saved lives on campus.
