  2. In fact, Bruno, we longer need to understand the minutia of any country’s politics to know that where there is a leader or candidate who stands for national autonomy he will be attacked by globalist forces. It’s clear.

    Whether it an Orban or Bibi or Trump, or a likeness thereof, he will be condemned.

    Is the situation now playing out in Canada, according to the great article you have posted above, any different from what is going on in Romania as we speak? There we have a stolen election and a silenced nationalist candidate. Here we have a coup.

    I remember during the Freedom Convoy one Romanian-Canadian trucker who was beaten by police. His name was Csaba. When interviewed about his beating he quietly said he, “took it like a man.” He was actually from Transylvania, which says a lot.

    Laser-like focus must descend on Pierre Poilievre. Right now. He has positioned himself to be a man of Canadian history. Either he rises up to the task to defeat these globalists, or he proves himself dupe, stooge and peg boy all at once. Who is he, really, and what does he stand for? We should know by now. If he’s wrong we must move on.

    Poilievre must also understand the position of Canada in the American scheme of things. Canadians have no clue, actually, just how dramatic and urgent things are. Their world is changing dramatically while they watch hockey. Canada is the meat in a sandwich breaded by PT, the globalists, and China. No sandwich needs three slices of bread, and I know PT only eats open face.

    Trump is making it clear: leave the Western hemisphere to America. It’s ours. Few niceties need apply any longer.

    The days of weak Canadian politicians playing Woke pattycake are gone. Trump knows fully the CCP rats nest festering to his north. To own the Americas means getting rid of the rats.

  9. During an interview with Boston Public Radio on Tuesday, Boston Mayor Michelle Wu stated that the city is releasing people wanted by ICE because “ICE is choosing not to go and get these criminal warrants.” And then claiming “so and so was extremely dangerous and a threat to the community. And yet, they’re not taking the action that reflects what they should be doing if they believed that to be true.”

      “What I find exciting is the secrecy with such preparation and the number of people involved.
      It is therefore also an achievement that I believe no secret service in the world could have achieved… secrecy where everyone involved could be a sympathizer of the enemy or the enemy themselves.

      “I was involved in the construction of this pipeline in the 80s and 90s as a GDR guest worker, like thousands of other East Germans. An engineering masterpiece because the pipeline does not come to the surface at any point in the area mentioned, meaning that they had to dig through meters of earth when exiting, in the hope that no one passing by would notice them.

      “Would a NATO general staff have come up with a similar idea?

      “When I imagine Bundeswehr soldiers entering and then waiting for hours until everyone was ready for action.

  17. Corrupt Utah Judge Freed Fire Chief Charged with Child Exploitation — Now Both Arrested in Shocking Child Exploitation and Illicit Relationship Scandal

    Two high-profile Box Elder County officials—former Tremonton Fire Department Chief Ned Brady Hansen and First District Justice Court Judge Kevin Christensen—are now behind bars, facing a slew of felony charges tied to the sexual exploitation of children.

    Hansen, who was first arrested in January on suspicion of child sex crimes, had been released on bail—thanks to a questionable ruling by none other than Judge Christensen.

    Now, new evidence uncovered by the FBI has led to Hansen’s rearrest on March 11, 2025, and has blown the lid off a sickening relationship between the two men.

    Christensen, 64, was arrested on March 6 and faces six felony counts, including attempted exploitation of a minor, enticing a minor, and dealing in materials harmful to a minor, The Herald Journal reported.

    Hansen, meanwhile, was slapped with eight felony counts of aggravated sexual exploitation of a minor on March 10.

    Court documents paint a horrifying picture of the duo’s alleged crimes. Using the shady internet app KIK, Hansen and Christensen reportedly traded vile fantasies about sexually abusing and exploiting children, even bragging about meeting “in real life” to engage in sexual acts with each other.

    Charging documents reveal they discussed targeting children in their own families—proof, if any was needed, of the depths of their moral rot.

    The FBI affidavit, penned by Agent Jason Merrill, alleges the pair’s chats were a cesspool of depravity, filled with plans to commit unspeakable acts against the most vulnerable among us.

    What’s worse, Christensen—acting as judge in Hansen’s initial case—ignored law enforcement’s pleas to keep the fire chief locked up without bail after his January arrest.

    Instead, he let Hansen walk free, a decision authorities now say was tainted by their secret, perverse connection. “Despite the request of law enforcement to hold defendant Hansen without bail, Christensen released the defendant from custody on bail,” Agent Merrill wrote.

    “Christensen did not disclose that he had engaged in sexually charged chats regarding children with Defendant Hansen.”

    This wasn’t justice—it was a cover-up, plain and simple.

    More from KSL News Radio:

    While searching Hansen’s electronic devices, investigators found multiple chats with another person, which was discovered to be Kevin Robert Christensen, 64, a Box Elder County judge.

    According to court documents, Hansen and Christensen spoke about how they could sexually abuse children, including extended family members of one of the men.

    Eventually, the two discussed meeting up in person and engaged in a sexual relationship, documents stated.

    […]

    According to court documents, this prompted an investigation into Christensen, and investigators discovered the two’s relationship.

    On Monday, Christensen was also charged in the 1st District Court with two counts of enticing a minor using the internet, one second-degree felony and one third-degree felony, two counts of dealing in materials harmful to a minor, three counts of attempted aggravated sexual exploitation of a minor, and obstruction of justice, third-degree felonies, according to court documents.

    U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Lee Zeldin has rolled out 31 groundbreaking actions to dismantle the suffocating web of radical environmental rules strangling America’s economy.

    These bold reforms advance President Trump’s Day One executive orders, promising to unleash American energy dominance, drastically lower living costs for American families, supercharge economic growth, and restore constitutional governance by empowering state authorities.

    “Today, I’m pleased to make the largest deregulatory announcement in U.S. history,” declared Administrator Zeldin in a fiery video statement.

    “The Environmental Protection Agency is initiating 31 historic actions to fulfill President Trump’s promise to unleash American energy, revitalize our auto industry, restore the rule of law, and give power back to the states.”

    Zeldin specifically called out numerous Biden-era regulations that he characterized as “suffocating,” burdensome, and devastatingly costly to everyday Americans.

    Among the regulations being reconsidered are the following:

    UNLEASHING AMERICAN ENERGY

    Reconsideration of regulations on power plants (Clean Power Plan 2.0)

    Reconsideration of regulations throttling the oil and gas industry (OOOO b/c)

    Reconsideration of Mercury and Air Toxics Standards that improperly targeted coal-fired power plants (MATS)

    Reconsideration of mandatory Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program that imposed significant costs on the American energy supply (GHG Reporting Program)

    Reconsideration of limitations, guidelines and standards (ELG) for the Steam Electric Power Generating Industry to ensure low-cost electricity while protecting water resources (Steam Electric ELG)

    Reconsideration of wastewater regulations for coal power plants to help unleash American energy (Oil and Gas ELG)

    Reconsideration of Biden-Harris Administration Risk Management Program rule that made America’s oil and natural gas refineries and chemical facilities less safe (Risk Management Program Rule)

    LOWERING THE COST OF LIVING FOR AMERICAN FAMILIES

    Reconsideration of light-duty, medium-duty, and heavy-duty vehicle regulations that provided the foundation for the Biden-Harris electric vehicle mandate (Car GHG Rules)

    Reconsideration of the 2009 Endangerment Finding and regulations and actions that rely on that Finding (Endangerment Finding)

    Reconsideration of technology transition rule that forces companies to use certain technologies that increased costs on food at grocery stores and semiconductor manufacturing (Technology Transition Rule)

    Reconsideration of Particulate Matter National Ambient Air Quality Standards that shut down opportunities for American manufacturing and small businesses (PM 2.5 NAAQS)

    Reconsideration of multiple National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for American energy and manufacturing sectors (NESHAPs)

    Restructuring the Regional Haze Program that threatened the supply of affordable energy for American families (Regional Haze)

    Overhauling Biden-Harris Administration’s “Social Cost of Carbon”

    Redirecting enforcement resources to EPA’s core mission to relieve the economy of unnecessary bureaucratic burdens that drive up costs for American consumers (Enforcement Discretion)

    Terminating Biden’s Environmental Justice and DEI arms of the agency (EJ/DEI)

    ADVANCING COOPERATIVE FEDERALISM

    Ending so-called “Good Neighbor Plan” which the Biden-Harris Administration used to expand federal rules to more states and sectors beyond the program’s traditional focus and led to the rejection of nearly all State Implementation Plans

    Working with states and tribes to resolve massive backlog with State Implementation Plans and Tribal Implementation Plans that the Biden-Harris Administration refused to resolve (SIPs/TIPs)

    Reconsideration of exceptional events rulemaking to work with states to prioritize the allowance of prescribed fires within State and Tribal Implementation Plans (Exceptional Events)

    Reconstituting Science Advisory Board and Clean Air Scientific Advisory Committee (SAB/CASAC)

    Prioritizing coal ash program to expedite state permit reviews and update coal ash regulations (CCR Rule)

    Utilizing enforcement discretion to further North Carolina’s recovery from Hurricane Helene

    “For me, the U.S. Constitution and the laws of this nation will be strictly interpreted and followed—no exceptions. Today, the Green News scam ends, as the EPA does its part to usher in the golden age of American success,” Zeldin said.

    “Our actions will lower the cost of living by making it more affordable to purchase a car, heat your home, and operate a business. Jobs will be created, especially in the U.S. auto industry, and our nation will become stronger for it. From the campaign trail, to day one, and beyond, President Trump has delivered on his promise to unleash energy dominance and lower the cost of living. We at the EPA will do our part to power the great American comeback,” he added.

  19. Moscow About To Recapture the Entire Kursk Pocket Under Kiev Control, as Red Army Forces Conquer the City of Sudzha, and Ukrainian Troops Flee From Russian Region
    thegatewaypundit.com/2025/03/moscow-about-recapture-entire-kursk-pocket-under-kiev/
    Mar. 12, 2025 1:20 pm

    Back in August, the embattled Ukrainian army undertook a dangerous inroad into Russian territory in the bordering Kursk region, and managed to take a sliver of territory that, while negligible from a military strategy standpoint, served well as a badge of honor for the badly beaten Kiev regime’s forces.

    It is true that, to defend this bridgehead for seven months, Ukrainian Commander-ion-Chief Oleksandr Syrsky sent a huge number of troops to the slaughter when they could potentially be of better use in many other sectors of the 600-mile-long frontline.

    And now, the MSM, Russian, and Ukrainian forces all agree that the Ukrainian ‘pocket’ inside Russia is about to be erased as the Red Army has conquered 12 settlements over the past 24 hours, including the major city under Kiev’s control, Sudzha.

    Reuters reported:

    “Ukrainian troops appeared on the point of losing their hard-won foothold inside Russia’s Kursk region on Wednesday as Moscow claimed further advances there and military bloggers on both sides said Kiev’s forces were withdrawing.”

    Ukraine saw its position worsen sharply in the past week.

    “Reuters was able to verify video published by Russian bloggers and state media showing troops standing with a Russian tricolor flag on a square in the center of Sudzha, a town near the Ukrainian border on a highway used by Ukraine as a supply route.”

    Watch: the Russian tricolor raised in Sudzha’s administration building and town center.

    THE UKRANAIN KURSK POCKET COLLAPSES FURTHER!

    The Ukranian army ran from Sudzha! Sudzha was the pride of their conquest on Russian territory.

    All the alleged trump cards that Zelensky may thought to had, are gone!

    Sputnik reported:

    “The Sudzha gas station, once a key route for Russian gas to Europe, became the only available transit point after the Sokhranovka station was shut down. Kiev’s attack on Sudzha appears aimed at cutting Europe off from Russian gas.

    To cut Europe off from Russian gas, Ukraine halted transit through the Druzhba pipeline on January 1, impacting the Sudzha station. This allowed Russian forces to enter the pipeline behind Ukrainian troops, catching them off guard.”
    The attack through the empty pipeline to the rear of the defenders accelerated the crumbling of the Ukrainian pocket.

    Ukrainian units are escaping Sudzha, while Russian drones and artillery are targeting them.

    “Upon leaving Sudzha, the Ukrainian troops had no real points left to consolidate their positions in the Kursk region. The so-called ‘Kursk adventure’ turned into a complete failure for Kiev.

      Hamas has time to get a second wind, the war is protracted, more death and strain ensues. Then he sends a total incompetent nobody to negotiate directly with the terrorists, offering unspeakable compromises, comes out calling them “good guys”.

      There’ve been major initiatives to become more independent. My “Just Say No” file goes back to 2006. Israel doesn’t need the money, it just kills domestic production. The US gets a good deal more from unparalleled Israeli R&D and promotion of the MIC’s products.

      What they DO need is that UNSC veto. Too bad Bibi didn’t recognize the danger in time. This is a stunning collection of voices on the issue:

      Ending U.S. Aid to Israel

      The publication on July 16, 2023, of an article by Jacob Siegel and Leibovitz calling for an end to U.S. aid to Israel opened a fresh debate over a topic dominated by outdated assumptions and emotional entreaties. To deepen the conversation, Tablet invited a group that includes a retired IDF general, U.S. senators and members of Congress, former Middle East diplomats, and writers from various political persuasions to offer their thoughts on the issue. Their articles, and more from Tablet’s archive, are collected here.

  20. FBI Director Kash Patel Turns Over First Batch of Explosive Jan. 6 Pipe Bomb Docs to House Republicans
    thegatewaypundit.com/2025/03/fbi-director-kash-patel-turns-first-batch-explosive/
    Mar. 12, 2025 12:00 pm
    January 6, 2021 pipe bomber. The person is reportedly a former government employee but the FBI refuses to interview him.

    FBI Director Kash Patel has made good on his promise to restore integrity within the Bureau. Patel has officially turned over explosive documents related to the mysterious pipe bomb incidents on January 6th to House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) and his investigative committee.

    Patel’s decisive move responds to Chairman Jordan’s aggressive subpoena from late February, demanding the FBI finally come clean about critical investigations that many conservatives argue have been shrouded in suspicious secrecy by former leadership.

    With trust at historic lows following years of controversial actions by Biden administration holdovers, Director Patel’s compliance signals a strong shift towards the transparency conservatives have demanded.

    In a detailed letter dated March 7, 2025, the FBI explicitly committed to transparency, declaring, “Under Director Patel’s leadership, the FBI remains committed to working with Congress to ensure transparency and the accountability the American people deserve.

    “As a sign of good faith, we are providing this initial production more than a week ahead of the Committee’s subpoena deadline,” Assistant Director Marshall Yates wrote in the letter.

    “But this will not be the last production we will send to satisfactorily comply with the Committee’s subpoena. To that end, we are diligently working to completely comply with your subpoenas.”

    “Given the diverse and broad subject matters implicated in your requests, the FBI is providing the following initial response, with more documents being identified and prepared for future production in short order.”

    Included in this groundbreaking release were key documents labeled as “FBI-HJCI19-PB-000001 through 000030,” which detail the Bureau’s investigation into the still unsolved January 6th pipe bomb mystery.

    The letter added:

    “Today‘s production contains minimal redactions to protect certain personally identifiable information and law enforcement sensitive information.

    The FBI is available to engage with the Committee to address any questions regarding these limited redactions. Please note that this and subsequent productions may contain law enforcement sensitive material, including personally identifiable information, as well as other sensitive information.

    As such, although we welcomt providing this material to the Committee, the Department of Justice and FBI do not waive any applicable privilege that might otherwise apply to these documents, especially with respect to any third parties.”

    It can be recalled that a report released by the Committee on House Administration Subcommittee on Oversight into the January 6 pipe bomber shows the FBI stopped looking for the suspect in 2021 and covered up the evidence.

    The FBI, under Chris Wray’s leadership, refused to cooperate with congressional investigators.

    In September, former Secret Service agent Dan Bongino said, according to a whistleblower, after the pipe bombs were found at the RNC and DNC headquarters, “assets on the ground, including a whistleblower, was briefed about the pipe bombs the next day and show a picture of a guy in a hoodie.”

    However, according to the whistleblower, the law enforcement agents were told to stand down two days later.

    “Nearly four years later, federal law enforcement has yet to identity the individual responsible for planting the pipe bombs, which remains one of the unanswered questions from that day. In the early weeks of the investigation, the FBI took significant investigative steps, identifying multiple persons of interest, issuing search warrants, reviewing hours of security camera footage, and analyzing the components of the pipe bombs. Despite the threat the pipe bombs posed to Congress and the public and the role they played in diverting resources away from the Capitol, federal law enforcement has refused to provide substantive updates to Congress about the status of the investigation,” Rep. Barry Loudermilk’s report stated.

    Loudermilk’s report said there has been conflicting information whether the FBI received “corrupted” cellular data from cell carriers.

    “There is conflicting information as to whether the FBI received “corrupted” cellular data from the major cell carriers. A former senior FBI official testified that the major cell carrier companies provided “corrupted” cell data to the FBI and suggested that that “corrupted” data may have contained the identity of the pipe bomber; however, in responses to letters from the Subcommittee, the major cell carriers confirmed that they did not provide corrupted data to the FBI and that the FBI never notified them of any issues with accessing the cellular data,” the House report stated.

    Also, FBI whistleblower Kyle Seraphin reported in May 2023 that the technicians who worked on the program told him the devices were inoperable.

    Kyle Seraphin, former head of FBI surveillance teams, revealed to The Daily Wire that shortly after the events of January 6, 2021, he was briefed at a firehouse in Falls Church, Virginia, about tracking down a person responsible for planting bombs in Washington, D.C.

    According to Seraphin, a counterintelligence team had successfully traced the individual’s movements through Metro security footage, identifying the fare card used by the suspect to board a train following the bomb placements. Investigators determined the suspect exited at a Northern Virginia station, where surveillance captured footage of the suspect entering a vehicle. Both the Metro fare card and the vehicle were registered to the same individual—a retired Air Force chief master sergeant working as a security-cleared contractor.

    Seraphin’s surveillance team was tasked with closely monitoring the individual’s residence for several days. However, when Seraphin requested approval to directly interview the suspect, the FBI leadership denied the request. Shortly thereafter, the surveillance operation was abruptly canceled, and Seraphin’s team was redirected to pursue low-level investigative leads regarding minor participants in the January 6 incident.

  21. You Can’t Make This Up: UN Hypocrites Bulldoze Thousands of Acres of Amazon Rainforest for Four-Lane Highway to Climate Change Summit

    Why let protecting the Amazon rainforest get in the way of “environmental” activism?

    In the lead-up to the COP30 climate summit in Belém, Brazil, a new four-lane highway is cutting through tens of thousands of acres of protected Amazon rainforest.

    The event, to be held in November, is expected to host more than 50,000, including world leaders and high-profile activists who will surely fly on private jets and traverse a road that has been scarred into the pristine landscape.

    BBC reports:

    The state government touts the highway’s “sustainable” credentials, but some locals and conservationists are outraged at the environmental impact.

    The Amazon plays a vital role in absorbing carbon for the world and providing biodiversity, and many say this deforestation contradicts the very purpose of a climate summit.

    Along the partially built road, lush rainforest towers on either side – a reminder of what was once there. Logs are piled high in the cleared land which stretches more than 13km (8 miles) through the rainforest into Belém.
    Diggers and machines carve through the forest floor, paving over wetland to surface the road which will cut through a protected area.

    A local resident, Claudio Verequete, told BBC, said he used to earn his living from harvesting berries from the tress that used to be there.

    “Everything was destroyed,” he said. “Our harvest has already been cut down. We no longer have that income to support our family.”

    Adler Silveira, the state government’s infrastructure secretary, listed this highway as one of 30 projects happening in the city to “prepare” and “modernise” it.

    Silveira added it would provice “a legacy for the population and, more importantly, serve people for COP30 in the best possible way.”

  22. Greenland’s Center-Right “Demokraatit Party” Wins Election, Favoring Independence from Denmark
    thegatewaypundit.com/2025/03/greenlands-center-right-demokraatit-party-wins-election-favoring/
    Mar. 12, 2025 11:20 am

    In a landmark election, Greenland’s center-right Demokraatit (Democrats) party has emerged victorious, a pro-Independence party.

    The pro-business party, advocating for a measured approach to independence from Denmark, secured approximately 30% of the vote, a significant increase from 9% in the previous 2021 election, The Times reported.

    The Demokraatit Party’s platform emphasizes the development of Greenland’s abundant natural resources, particularly its rare earth minerals, which are crucial for modern technologies.

    By advocating for increased private sector investment and responsible mining practices, the party aims to reduce economic dependence on Denmark and pave the way for eventual autonomy.

    Another party, Naleraq—known for having Greenland’s most pro-USA politicians—also delivered a strong performance in the election. Demokraatit and Naleraq have now emerged as the leading parties, overtaking the leftist Siumut and IA, which had previously dominated Greenlandic politics for years.

    Demokraatit advocates for a gradual path to independence.

    Naleraq, on the other hand, advocates for a more immediate move toward independence. The party has historically proposed ambitious timelines for secession and seeks to expedite the process of self-determination.

    Local news outlet Sermitsiaq reported:

    Greenland has therefore woken up to change, say citizens of Sisimiut when Sermitsiaq meets them on the street on Wednesday morning.

    Jørgen Enoksen from Sisimiut was happy when he saw the results:

    “I wanted a little change, because you can’t vote for the same party every time. Now I’m eagerly awaiting the negotiations,” he says.

    Jens Heinrich was surprised by the result.

    “It’s more than I expected. I hope the new members will work well for our country. I’m excited to see if they will keep their promises,” he says.

    For Preben Mølgaard it feels like new times.

    “We have woken up to a change. I hope that those elected to Inatsisartut will work to improve our country,” he says.

    This electoral shift comes in the wake of U.S. President Donald Trump’s renewed interest in Greenland. Trump’s proposal to purchase the island, citing its strategic importance and resource potential, has been met with firm resistance from Greenlandic leaders, who assert that their land is not for sale.

    It can be recalled that President Donald Trump announced that the United States is willing to invest “billions of dollars” in Greenland, but with one condition: that the island integrates as part of US territory.

    “As I made clear during my Joint Address to Congress, the United States strongly supports the people of Greenland’s right to determine their own future,” Trump wrote on X.

  23. Study: Concealed Carriers Do A Better Job Of Stopping Active Shooters Than Police

    We found that concealed carry permit holders stopped 51.5 percent of active shootings, compared to 44.6 percent stopped by police.

    You’d never know it from watching television, but civilians stop more active shooters than police and do so with fewer mistakes, according to new research from the Crime Prevention Research Center, where I serve as president. In non-gun-free zones, where civilians are legally able to carry guns, concealed carry permit holders stopped 51.5 percent of active shootings, compared to 44.6 percent stopped by police, CPRC found in a deep dive into active shooter scenarios between 2014 and 2023.

    Not only do permit holders succeed in stopping active shooters at a higher rate, but law enforcement officers face significantly greater risks when intervening. Our research found police were nearly six times more likely to be killed and 17 percent more likely to be wounded than armed civilians.

  24. Judge Finds No Probable Cause to Search 17-Year-Old Carrying Pistol

    On February 5, 2025, an officer responded to a “suspicious person with a weapon” call near a Jack-in-the-Box located on the 5900 block of Gulf Freeway. The video does not say what department the officer was with. The address is in downtown Houston, so the officer is probably from the Houston Police Department. The officer noticed a young man and started questioning him. The young man stated he had been inside the Jack-in-the-Box watching his brothers sell “waters” outside. A man, with a knife in hand, had rushed at his brothers. The young man said he had pulled out a pistol, then moved between his brothers and the man and told his brothers to run.

    The officer searched the young man and found a loaded Glock 19. The young man said he had purchased the pistol from a friend for $150. The young man told the officer he was 17 years old. The officer arrested the 17-year-old for criminal possession of a handgun.

    This is the information brought to the court in the initial hearing before Judge David Fleisher, an elected Harris County Criminal Court Judge. Houston, Texas, occupies much of Harris County. Judge Fleisher has gained a reputation across the nation for including a hearing on probable cause with the initial court appearance.
    Judge Fleisher’s response is interesting. The judge says, “He [the young man] is going to the defense of others.”

    At this point, a lawyer in the back of the courtroom stands up and rushes to defend the young man. Judge Fleisher and the lawyer tend to talk over each other, but the lawyer lays out several documents. The documents are a memo from the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS), saying possession under the age of 21 is not a crime, the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit ruling the limitation of carry to people under 21 is unconstitutional, the United States District Court, Northern District holding the prohibition on carrying under the age of 21 is unconstitutional, and a motion to quash the indictment. Judge Fleisher laughs at the level of preparation and rules there was no probable cause to search. Judge Fleisher says he was going to rule that no probable cause existed in any case.

    The lawyer may have been stretching the law. The DPS memo limits the exemption from the law to 18-20-year-old people. The youth, in this case, was 17 years old.

    This case shows the sea change with respect to the Second Amendment in the seventeen years since the Heller decision and particularly the 32 months since the Bruen decision. Heller clarified the Second Amendment as a fundamental, individual right to keep and bear arms. Bruen reinforced the Heller decision and clarified the right to bear arms is a right to carry arms routinely in case of confrontation, including outside the home.

    When this correspondent received initial law enforcement training in the 1970’s, an instructor said: don’t worry about searching someone for weapons. The instructor claimed they had never had a case, where they found a weapon, where the judge had dismissed the case for lack of probable cause.

    Times have changed for the better. If the young man had been 18, carrying a Glock would not have been a crime, as the founders intended when they wrote the Second Amendment.

    Given the circumstances, the Glock will not be returned. This correspondent’s first impression, given the price of $150 cited, was the Glock was probably stolen. Many people do not bother to report stolen guns. If the Glock had been on the official list of stolen firearms, the young man might have been charged with possession of stolen property.
    Judge Fleisher has heard another case involving a 17-year-old and an illegal possession charge. Because there was evidence of the pistol being fired, the other 17-year-old was treated much differently. In that case, the officer did not make an illegal search. The pistol was seen in plain sight inside a car.

    Those who wish for the population to be disarmed claim more guns equal more crime. There is no conclusive evidence of this. Most of the evidence indicates more guns equate to no difference or a drop in violent crime, with a slight increase in property crime.

  25. The Fight for Armed Self-Defense in New York: A System Rigged Against Citizens

    Accepting Strategic Reality In New York City And Elsewhere, iStock-1169074379

    If you’re reading this, you already know the stakes.

    The right to armed self-defense is under relentless attack, particularly in places like New York, where the government’s bureaucratic machine is rigged to frustrate law-abiding citizens who seek to protect themselves. This isn’t speculation; it’s a calculated strategy.

    For decades, New York’s political leadership has made it clear: they view civilian gun ownership not as a constitutional right but as an inconvenience at best and a threat at worst. Despite the Supreme Court’s ruling in Bruen, which struck down New York’s unconstitutional “proper cause” requirement, the state has merely shifted tactics. Where they once outright denied applications, they now stall, delay, and bury applicants in red tape.
    The NYPD License Division’s End Run Around Bruen

    The Supreme Court’s decision in NYSRPA v. Bruen was supposed to level the playing field. It ruled that New York’s licensing scheme—requiring a citizen to prove an arbitrary “proper cause” to carry a firearm—was unconstitutional. The ruling should have opened the door for lawful citizens to exercise their Second Amendment rights without unnecessary government interference. But the NYPD’s License Division had other plans.

    Unable to reject applicants outright under Bruen, the department has pivoted to a new, equally unconstitutional strategy: endless delays. The law mandates that applications be processed within six months. The NYPD routinely ignores this, often dragging out approvals for a year or more, all without explanation. Worse still, when applicants seek answers, they are met with bureaucratic silence.

    A System Built on Obstacles, Not Safety

    Let’s be clear: this is not about public safety. The data consistently show that legally armed citizens are overwhelmingly law-abiding and play a critical role in self-defense. A March 7th article on AmmoLand News, citing research from John Lott and the Crime Prevention Research Center, made it plain: concealed carry permit holders are among the most law-abiding demographics in the country. Yet New York refuses to acknowledge this reality.

    Instead, Governor Hochul and Mayor Adams push a narrative that paints lawful gun owners as part of the problem, not the solution. Their answer? A “good moral character” test—nothing more than a thinly veiled version of the old “proper cause” standard. This new hurdle allows bureaucrats to arbitrarily decide who “deserves” to exercise their constitutional rights.

    A Legacy of Corruption & Control

    New York’s obsession with controlling civilian gun ownership isn’t new. The state has a long and corrupt history of manipulating firearm licensing to benefit the well-connected while leaving everyday citizens defenseless. The Sullivan Act, passed in 1911, was one of the earliest examples of using licensing laws to disarm the public—particularly immigrants and minorities who were viewed as politically undesirable.

    Fast forward to today, and the same anti-gun policies persist. But make no mistake: the goal has never been public safety. If it were, the state wouldn’t be actively obstructing the rights of law-abiding citizens while allowing crime to flourish.

    New York politicians aren’t interested in stopping violent criminals—they’re interested in stopping you from being able to defend yourself against them.

    What Comes Next?

    With lawsuits piling up against New York’s defiance of Bruen, all eyes are on the Supreme Court. Antonyuk v. James could be the case that forces the state to comply with the Constitution finally. But even if the Court rules against New York again, expect state officials to find yet another way to sidestep the law.

    This fight is far from over. The system is designed to exhaust and discourage gun owners from pursuing their rights. But we cannot afford to give up. Every legal challenge, every lawsuit, and every citizen who refuses to back down is part of a larger movement to reclaim our fundamental freedoms.

  26. JUDICIAL TYRANNY: Radical Judge Tanya Chutkan Orders Doxing of DOGE Employees

    Judge Tanya Chutkan

    Corrupt U.S. District Judge Tanya S. Chutkan has unleashed a legal assault on Elon Musk and the newly formed Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), greenlighting a fishing expedition that threatens to expose DOGE employees to the wrath of left-wing bureaucrats.

    On Tuesday, radical left Judge Tanya Chutkan, a disgustingly dishonest Trump-hater who believes she was elected to lead this country and take down Trump, issued an order today in State of New Mexico, et al. v. Elon Musk, et al. that demands Musk and DOGE cough up sensitive documents and data within a mere 21 days—all to appease a coalition of Democrat-led states desperate to undermine President Trump’s agenda.

    Chutkan’s order mandates that DOGE disclose sensitive information and internal documents concerning employees, contracts, and federal engagements directly linked with states participating in the lawsuit.

    Chutkan justified the plaintiffs’ aggressive interrogatories, ruling they sufficiently targeted “parameters of DOGE’s and Musk’s authority”—an issue central to plaintiffs’ claims under the Appointments Clause.

    “Again, subject to a minor amendment, Plaintiffs have sufficiently tailored their interrogatories and requests for admission as well. Those requests seek to identify DOGE personnel and the parameters of DOGE’s and Musk’s authority- a question central to Plaintiffs’ claims,” Chutkan wrote.

    This decision dangerously opens the door for politically motivated activists and partisan actors to weaponize personal information against private citizens simply doing their jobs.

    What a sick and dangerous woman!

    Why do we put up with this lawlessness by these judicial insurrectionists?

    According to the ruling:

    Plaintiffs’ Discovery Requests shall be limited to information and materials regarding agencies, employees, contracts, grants, federal funding, legal agreements, databases, or data management systems that involve or engage with Plaintiff States, including entities and institutions operated or funded by Plaintiff States;
    “Recommended” and “recommendation” shall be deleted from Plaintiffs’ Fourth Interrogatory and replaced with “directed” and “direction.”

  27. DISTURBING: DEI Activist Caught on Voicemail Allegedly Helping Minorities Cheat on Air Traffic Control Exams, Potentially Endangering Millions of Lives (AUDIO)

    Shocking audio has emerged revealing how a radical DEI activist allegedly tried to help minority candidates cheat on an entrance exam and put lives in danger in the process.

    The Daily Mail on Wednesday reported that Shelton Snow, a key figure in the National Black Coalition of Federal Aviation Employees (NBCFAE), vowing to tell the minorities advance answers to the entry exam.

    “There are some valuable pieces of information that I have taken a screenshot of, and I am going to send that to you via email,” he told the candidates.

    “I’m gonna send it to each of you, and as you progress through the stages, refer to those images so that you will know which icons you should select, he continues. “Now I have a good mind to send it to one of my HR representatives first and give them the opportunity to sign off on it before you actually click it.”

    “I am about 99.99 percent sure that it is exactly how you need to answer each question,” he added.

    As The Mail notes, Snow also says that several people have been getting rejection notices, and he wants to avoid this.

    The information was made available back in 2014 to minority candidates but whites were excluded. But until now, it has been widely hidden from the public.

    One former member of NBCFAE, Matthew Douglas, provided some more disturbing information to the Daily Mail today. He said that multiple individuals not only took Snow up on his offer, but some of these people are still flying planes today.

    “I know several people who cheated, and I know several people who are controlling planes as we speak,” Douglas explained.

    Even more disturbingly, Snow, a US Navy veteran, still works for the FAA as an air traffic operations supervisor based out of New York. He also runs a dog breeding business, Snowstorm Bullies, out of his residence on Long Island.

    News of this audio comes when just under two months ago, a tragic incident unfolded at Reagan National Airport where an American Airlines passenger jet collided with a Blackhawk helicopter during landing.

    All 64 passengers in the jet were killed. The three pilots in the Blackhawk helicopter also died in the explosive crash.

    Democrats and their corporate media allies later blamed Trump even though there have been aviation staffing shortages for years because of DEI policies first implemented under the Obama regime. The FAA has denied 1,000 air traffic controller applicants because they were ‘too white’ and now most air traffic control facilities are dealing with staffing shortages.

    This has potentially put millions of lives in jeopardy. Some of the people responsible for the current airline crisis remain employed, and they could eventually wreck more havoc.
