Breitbart – by Ken Klukowski

WASHINGTON, DC –Democrat presidential candidates and senators this week renewed their threats that unless the U.S. Supreme Court issues liberal rulings on the Second Amendment and other issues, Democrats will fundamentally restructure the nation’s highest court, a shocking threat to judicial independence not seen since the 1930s.

While universal background checks are pushed as a response to the El Paso and Dayton shooting attacks, it should be remembered that such checks are unenforceable without a gun registry.

In other words, once such checks are in place, it is only a matter of time before lawmakers — in one party or the other — suggest a loose registration scheme. They will most likely do this in the days after the first mass public attack that occurs once universal background checks are the law of the land.  Continue reading “Universal Background Checks Unenforceable Without Gun Registry”

Farmers facing record bankruptcies and collapsing incomes due to President Donald Trump’s escalating trade war with China were not amused by U.S. Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue’s joke about their economic pain during an event in Minnesota last week.

“I had a farmer tell me this in Pennsylvania,” Perdue told an audience of thousands of farmers gathered in a barn near Morgan, Minnesota. “What do you call two farmers in a basement? A whine cellar.”  Continue reading “Farmers Hit Back as USDA Chief Mocks Those Harmed by Trade War as “Whiners””

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) restated his support for red-flag gun laws Monday, despite unease or opposition from conservatives and gun owners who fear the laws would violate their Second, Fourth, and 14th Amendment rights.

After mass murders in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio, earlier this month, some Republican lawmakers and President Donald Trump have expressed openness to more stringent background checks for gun purchases, as well as red-flag laws that allow police or family members to petition courts to order the seizure of guns from a person deemed to be a danger to others.  Continue reading “Lindsey Graham reiterates support for red-flag gun laws: ‘2nd Amendment is not a suicide pact’”

Morgellons disease is a bizarre condition in which sufferers say that, along with a number of other unpleasant symptoms, alien fibers of various colors emerge from their skin. The term Morgellons was coined by a woman named Mary Leitao, whose son contracted a strange lesion on his lip. He would point at the lesion and say “bugs.” Leitao took him to numerous doctors who dismissed the condition with various explanations ranging from eczema to unknown dermatitis. Leitao began researching the symptoms and found an account from the 1600s in which a British physician described “harsh hairs” emerging from the backs of children.

Plastic was the furthest thing from Gregory Wetherbee’s mind when he began analyzing rainwater samples collected from the Rocky Mountains. “I guess I expected to see mostly soil and mineral particles,” said the US Geological Survey researcher. Instead, he found multicolored microscopic plastic fibers.

The discovery, published in a recent study (pdf) titled “It is raining plastic”, raises new questions about the amount of plastic waste permeating the air, water, and soil virtually everywhere on Earth.  Continue reading “It’s raining plastic: microscopic fibers fall from the sky in Rocky Mountains”

Donald Trump cast doubt on Tuesday over former President Bill Clinton’s denial that he ever visited Jeffrey Epstein’s notorious ‘pedophilia island.’

The president repeatedly suggested that his predecessor was lying in a statement saying that he had not been to Little St. James, the island owned by the pervert financier, which was raided by the FBI Monday.    Continue reading “Donald Trump casts doubt on Bill Clinton’s denial that he went to ‘Pedophile Island’”

Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) said Sunday he intends to introduce a bill restricting the sale of body armor when the Senate reconvenes in September, according to the New York Post.

The bill would require the FBI to establish standards for who is allowed to buy body armor such as bullet-resistant vests after a series of mass shootings in which the gunmen wore body armor, most recently the suspect in the killing of nine people last weekend in Dayton, Ohio.  Continue reading “Schumer proposes bill to regulate body armor”

A Houston-area store’s “back to school” sale is raising eyebrows and infuriating Democrats who see and learn about it all across the country.

A local gun store is offering a special back to school promotion, up to 50% off of any firearm, which sounds like a very good deal.  Continue reading “Texas Store’s ‘Back to School’ Sale is Raising Eyebrows, Infuriating Democrats”

The Trump White House is reportedly reviewing a Labor Department rule that would give states the power to force people to pass a drug test before they can receive unemployment benefits, ignoring protests that such screenings would amount to demeaning and unconstitutional invasions of privacy.  Continue reading “‘Degrading’ and ‘Unconstitutional’: Trump Reviewing Rule That Would Allow Drug Testing for Unemployment Benefits”

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) has been churning out plan after plan in her bid to be the Democrat’s nominee for president in 2020.  Most of her plans are wildly ill-considered and untenable, but her latest roll-out on “gun violence prevention” is positively bone-chilling.  Continue reading “Elizabeth Warren plans include using tax code to deprive law-abiding citizens of 2nd Amendment rights”

The European Union is poised to mandate that Israeli products made in contested territories carry consumer warning labels, a decision that could trigger American anti-boycott laws and open up what legal experts describe as a “Pandora’s box” of litigation, according to multiple sources involved in the legal dispute who spoke to the Washington Free Beacon.  Continue reading “Europe Poised to Put Warning Labels on Jewish-Made Products”

As politicians and anti-gun rights activists continuously chant, “we don’t want to take your guns,” behind the scenes — in just months — politicians have been working overtime to limit and remove your right to bear arms. These laws all started as a reaction to the tragic shooting in Parkland, Florida last year and with every shooting since, they have sped up. And, like most politicians always do, they are not letting these tragedies go to waste. The problem has gotten so out of control that one US Congressman thinks there may be nothing we can do to stop the gun grabbers from abolishing the entire Second Amendment.  Continue reading “US Congressman Warns of Political Conspiracy to Overturn the 2nd Amendment In Its Entirety”
