The Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF) is marking its third win in the last few years on protecting the right to inspect state voter rolls for non-citizen registrations and voting.
The Fourth Circuit federal appeals court on Monday ruled in favor of PILF in its lawsuit against the North Carolina State Board of Elections, vacating a lower court’s decision blocking the inspection of the state’s voter rolls for non-citizen registrations and voting.
“North Carolina had tried to prevent the public from inspecting records related to noncitizens registering and voting in our elections,” PILF President J. Christian Adams said in a statement.

As Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) works for preserve her position within House GOP leadership, unlikely allies have rushed to her defense, including convicted felon O.J. Simpson. In a video posted to Twitter on Monday Simpson, who was famously acquitted of the murders of Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman in the mid-1990s before being convicted of armed robbery in the 2000s, said that Liz Cheney has earned his respect because she “stands up for truth.”“I gotta admit, I was not a fan of Liz Cheney,” he said. “Don’t get me wrong, I’m 50-50 on her politics, but I didn’t like her.
About a decade ago, when I worked for the American Enterprise Institute, I had to force myself to go to lunch with a friend. I dreaded the meeting because I knew that she was going to try to convince me to leave my job. AEI is a pro-business, conservative-leaning think tank in Washington, DC. My friend was an enthusiastic liberal.After I had run out of excuses, the day arrived and, predictably, after a few minutes of the usual small talk, my friend launched into a tirade about the Iraq War, which several of my colleagues strongly supported.“You don’t belong there, Ayaan,” she said.I remember trying to steer the conversation
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) is a hero.Governor DeSantis is leading the way and defending Floridians from the Communism that is creeping in under the guise of Covid restrictions and protocols.
DeSantis said that it’s time to unmask the children.“These kids do not need to be wearing these masks,” DeSantis said Tuesday. “We need to let them be kids and let them act normally and that’s what should be the case in the fall throughout the school year!”
On Tuesday, Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) blamed Jews for the conflict between Israel and Hamas, tweeting, “I am extremely concerned by the growing conflict in Israel and Palestine. Once again we are seeing how the irresponsible actions of government-allied right-wing extremists in Jerusalem can escalate quickly into devastating war.” (Tweet) “Israeli children should not have to spend the night scared in bomb shelters, as many are doing tonight,” Sanders continued, then snapped that the conflict stemmed from Israel’s “provocative and illegal settlement activity” adding venomously of Israel’s supposed “constant violence and oppression of occupation”
Politicians are prone to hyperbole, and anyone who has followed politics for longer than 10 minutes knows that.But Republicans who are sounding the alarm on H.R. 1 and its companion bill in the Senate, S. 1, are not being melodramatic or resorting to exaggeration when they say this legislation will legitimately change how our country is governed for a generation, maybe more.Per the Constitution, states are primarily responsible for governing elections, though our founding document also gives Congress authority to intervene. Historically, however, Congress (and the courts) have chosen to let states set their own rules and regulations as to how they will handle balloting.
While Ilhan Omar and the Democrats are no doubt jumping for joy that Israel is under attack from Hamas terrorists, but President Trump is having none of it. Trump has just come out in strong defense of Israel in a brand new statement.“When I was in office we were known as the Peace Presidency, because Israel’s adversaries knew that the United States stood strongly with Israel and there would be swift retribution if Israel was attacked,” Trump began.“Under Biden, the world is getting more violent and more unstable because Biden’s weakness and lack of support for Israel is leading to new attacks on our allies,” he added.
Former first lady Michelle Obama is in the news, taking the racially divisive baton from her husband, Barack, to further the Black Lives Matter narrative that police in America are overtly racist.In a “CBS This Morning” interview with anchor Gayle King, Mrs. Obama spoke about police brutality and systemic racism in America, the irony of two fabulously wealthy black women talking about oppression on national TV being off the charts.Candace Owens appeared on Fox News’ “Tucker Carlson Tonight” and, after pointing out the wealth the Obamas have accumulated in a country they so readily denounce as racist, declared, “If that’s oppression, where can I get some?”
Welcome to Jimmy Carter 2.0, to an America saddled with a failed president and a failed Deep State whose minions worry about everything except what actually matters.The goddamned FBI and the goddamned CIA have one goddamned job, and that’s to protect our way of life. Period. And the fastest way to unravel our way of life — the most effective, deadly, and destructive way — is to interrupt the free flow of oil. Therefore, outside of physical threats to American persons and property, the FBI and the CIA should be focused almost exclusively on ensuring the energy that keeps our way of life alive is not interrupted.
Preakness officials will allow Kentucky Derby winner Medina Spirit to enter Saturday's race, subject to additional testing and monitoring, after a recent blood sample from the colt was found to contain a prohibited amount of an anti-inflammatory steroid.

The entire Oklahoma City Board of Education denounced a law passed Friday that bans Critical Race Theory (CRT) in public schools, calling it “racist” and an “insult,” numerous sources reported. The eight-member school board said Monday that they worry House Bill 1775 will prevent accurate lessons involving race and history, according to The Oklahoman. Ruth Veales, a board member, said the law was intended to “protect white fragility” and that the ban was an “insult” because the district has a large population of minority students.

There can be no denying that the political left are an intolerant and authoritarian bunch. The Democratic party that represents it wants to cancel the rights of anyone who disagrees with them.Showing that fascism is all in the family, Chelsea Clinton has joined the calls for social media censorship. After all, it’s been a standard feature of her mother’s bitter Twitter diatribes since she was rejected by voters in the 2016 election.
The heir to the Clinton political dynasty joined the team effort to save Joe Biden from an early humiliation by steamrolling any opposition to his stated goal of vaccinating 70 percent of the U.S. by July 4th.
