and pork
Posted By: sunset, 9/9/2025 7:43:09 PM
Texas governor Greg Abbott has announced a ban on Sharia Law in the state after an imam launched a campaign to pressure Muslim-owned stores to stop selling pork, alcohol and lottery tickets. Imam F. Qasim ibn Ali Khan of Masjid At-Tawhid was seen in a viral video confronting a store employee and accusing the business of selling 'haram' products forbidden under Islamic law. As a response, Abbott said on Tuesday: 'I signed laws that BAN Sharia Law and Sharia Compounds in Texas. No business and no individual should fear fools like this.'

girls' team refused to play against male
athlete: court 6 replies
The Vermont Principals' Association must reinstate a Christian school after its girls' basketball team forfeited a game against a team with a male on its roster, an appeals court has ruled, stating that officials acted with "hostility" toward religious beliefs. A three-judge panel of the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals released a unanimous opinion on Tuesday in the case of Mid Vermont Christian School et al v. Zoie Saunders et al. Circuit Judge Michael Park, a Trump appointee, authored the opinion, which reversed a lower court decision against the Mid Vermont Christian School and remanded the case with instructions for Mid Vermont’s reinstatement in the VPA.

A federal immigration board said Friday that immigrants who arrived in the United States illegally are ineligible for bond hearings while they challenge deportation proceedings in court.
The decision, rendered by Judge Keith E. Hunsucker at the Board of Immigration Appeals, affirms a previous July order from Todd M. Lyons, acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, who told ICE officers in a memo that such immigrants should be detained “for the duration of their removal proceedings,” which can take months or years.
Lawyers say the policy will apply to millions of immigrants who crossed the U.S.-Mexico border over the past few decades
The Los Angeles Police Department has pulled its cops from a security detail at Kamala Harris’ Brentwood, California home after outrage that crime-fighting units were being diverted to guard the former vice president. A dozen Metro Division officers had been stationed outside Harris’ mansion after President Trump revoked her Secret Service protection last week, ending an extension granted by Biden. The short-lived detail drew fury inside the department. “Pulling police officers from protecting everyday Angelenos to protect a failed presidential candidate who also happens to be a multi-millionaire … and who can easily afford to pay for her own security, is nuts,” the Los Angeles Police Protective League’s board said.
A $50,000 reward is offered for any information that leads to the arrest of a man wanted in the June shooting death of a 21-year-old Congressional intern, according to the Metropolitan Police Department.
Officers said they are looking for 18-year-old Naqwan Antonio Lucas. The search comes after two 17-year-olds — Kelvin Thomas and Jailen Lucas — were arrested Friday in the same case. Both teens are being charged as adults.
A Tunisian Muslim immigrant living in France went on a stabbing spree after learning he was being evicted from his hotel for not paying.
The 35-year-old migrant was living in the port city of Marseille, but on Tuesday he found himself without housing, prompting a violent rampage that ended only when police shot him after he injured five people via stabbing, according to JFeed.
The man possessed two large knives and an iron bar. It was initially reported that he attacked the hotel manager and his son before running onto the street and injuring three more people, while yelling “Allahu Akbar.”
An Alaska man is petitioning the Supreme Court to consider whether the government's seizure of his $95,000 plane for transporting an illicit six-pack of beer is an excessive fine under the Eighth Amendment. The Institute for Justice, a public interest law firm, filed a petition for writ of certiorari today on behalf of Ken Jouppi, an 82-year-old Alaskan bush pilot, asking the Supreme Court to rule on whether states should consider the gravity of a defendant's specific offense, rather than an abstract view of the general crime. Jouppi was convicted of a misdemeanor when a passenger was attempting to bring beer to a "dry" village where alcohol is prohibited.
In early September, a jury trial will begin in North Texas for a 32-year-old activist named Raunaq Alam. He is accused of spray-painting “F*** Israel” on the wall of a non-denominational church in Euless, a small city roughly 20 minutes from Fort Worth. But it’s not the graffiti accusation that’s most troubling for Alam and his attorney. Using a hate-crimes statute, Tarrant county has enhanced its criminal mischief charges against Alam so he now faces 10 years in prison. The county’s argument – and the charges – are the same for two other activists. (snip) Alam adds that anyone who knows him knows he’s not a hateful person.

For over a year the San Francisco Housing Authority has tried to evict dozens of families the agency says are living illegally in a decrepit Potrero Hill public housing complex that is slated for demolition as part of a major redevelopment. Now with the project behind schedule and many of the eviction cases likely to be tied up in litigation for months, the authority is trying a new tactic to convince families to leave: Airbnb gift cards.
Resident Tania Guevara, an immigrant who has been living with her 13-year-old son in a Potrero apartment since 2023, said the housing authority sent her a letter offering a $5,000 Airbnb gift card
South Carolina called on the Supreme Court on Thursday to enforce the state’s transgender bathroom ban against a 13-year-old transgender boy. The Fourth Circuit issued an injunction earlier this month preventing South Carolina from banning a student identified as John Doe from using restrooms matching his gender identity. The Palmetto State argued that the limited injunction left the state “stuck between an impossible rock and hard place.”
“On the one hand, the Executive Branch demands, on pain of loss of federal funding, that schools apply Title IX as originally understood,”. “On the other hand, the Fourth Circuit has required Applicant Berkeley County School District to do exactly the opposite.”
President Donald Trump‘s Department of Housing and Urban Development is giving every public housing authority in the country 30 days to share citizenship status of tenants or risk losing their federal funding. By law, every PHA is required to share eligibility information, including citizenship status, with HUD. The Housing and Community Development Act specifically bars illegal immigrants from public housing programs. The letter gives each PHA 30 days from the receipt of the notice to fulfill the following six requests: 1. Identify all “mixed family” units, all units “by one or more individuals who do not contend that they have immigration status,” granted assistance without verifying immigration status
The Trump administration will on Thursday grant itself new permission to hire any attorney to serve as an immigration judge on a temporary basis, eschewing longstanding restrictions on who could serve in those roles.
The change gives Attorney General Pam Bondi wide latitude in selecting officials to oversee asylum and other cases pending before the Executive Office of Immigration Review, the Justice Department agency that runs the nation’s immigration courts. Since 2014, the department has allowed only former immigration judges, administrative law judges from other agencies or Justice attorneys with at least 10 years of experience related to immigration law to serve as temporary immigration judges

The House of Representatives burst into chaos as Speaker Mike Johnson attempted to lead a prayer for Charlie Kirk after he was assassinated in Utah on Wednesday. Father-of-two Kirk, 31, the founder of Turning Point USA, a conservative youth organization that regularly holds events on college campuses nationwide, was shot in the neck at an event at Utah Valley University in Orem and died about two and half hours later. His assassination not only devastated many members of Congress who knew the activist personally, but unleashed sadness, confusion and anger among lawmakers in the Capitol on both sides of the political spectrum.
Political analyst Matthew Dowd has been fired from MSNBC after his comments about the death of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, according to a network source.
During MSNBC’s coverage of Kirk’s shooting, anchor Katy Tur asked Dowd about “the environment in which a shooting like this happens.” Dowd responded with the following about Kirk: “He’s been one of the most divisive, especially divisive younger figures in this, who is constantly sort of pushing this sort of hate speech or sort of aimed at certain groups. And I always go back to, hateful thoughts lead to hateful words, which then lead to hateful actions. And I think

“In retrospect,” Kamala Harris writes of letting Joe and Jill Biden decide on their own whether the then-president should have tried to run for re-election, “I think it was recklessness.” (Snip) “‘It’s Joe and Jill’s decision.’ We all said that, like a mantra, as if we’d all been hypnotized,” Harris writes in the first excerpt of “107 Days” published Wednesday morning by The Atlantic. “The stakes were simply too high. This wasn’t a choice that should have been left to an individual’s ego, an individual’s ambition. It should have been more than a personal decision.” Part of the problem, Harris
Conservative activist Charlie Kirk was shot Wednesday during a Q&A session at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah. Video from the event shows Kirk was struck near the neck. While details about his condition remain unclear, reports suggest he’s been hospitalized.
Unfornately, the mainstream media’s reaction to the shooting has been as disgusting as you could have predicted.
Over at CNN, Kristen Holmes dubbed Kirk “a controversial figure at times,” adding: “He goes into these various college campuses, uh, pushes conservative issues, gets into back and f—heated back and forth often with these students on these college campuses. But of course, uh, none of that is violent.”
Ammunition cartridges recovered along with the bolt-action rifle used in the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk were scrawled with transgender and anti-fascist messages, The Wall Street Journal reported Thursday.
The rifle was recovered Wednesday night in a wooded area where the FBI believes the killer fled after the shooting.
It was wrapped in a towel and had three unused ammo cartridges still in the chamber. Each was “engraved with expressions of transgender and antifascist ideology,” the Journal reported…
Shots have been fired at a Charlie Kirk event at Utah Valley University in Orem.
Footage from the scene showed event goers screaming as shots rang out on Wednesday.
The conservative firebrand, 31, was reportedly shot in the neck area, according to bystander accounts.
People at the event took to social media to share details of the moment someone opened fire at the conservative's event as he conducted a Q & A session with students.
Kirk published a post on X just minutes before reports of the shooting emerged.
'WE. ARE. SO. BACK,' Kirk wrote at 2.23pm EST.
WASHINGTON – Read the opinions for yourself. That’s the message Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor had Sept. 10 for viewers of the “Late Show with Stephen Colbert” the day after her blistering response to her conservative colleagues’ latest ruling siding with the Trump administration. The majority said the administration can for now resume the indiscriminate immigration-related stops in southern California that sparked protests and charges of racial profiling. In her dissent for the court’s three liberals, Sotomayor said the majority’s decision “is yet another grave misuse of our emergency docket.” “We should not have to live in a country where
WARNING - President Trump's latest crackdown on prescription drug advertisements may cause Big Pharma executives to experience insomnia, tension headaches, a feeling of loss of control, and an upset stomach.
Trump signed an executive memorandum on Tuesday, directing the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to enhance transparency in direct-to-consumer prescription drug advertising. It calls for mandating more detailed disclosures of side effects.
This initiative, spearheaded by HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., will address violations in drug ads without imposing an outright ban on those ads.
WASHINGTON — Following Charlie Kirk’s assassination, President Donald Trump may be uniquely positioned to tamp down the anger that suffuses American politics and lead a movement to bind up a bitterly divided country if he chooses.
But, political strategists and officials from both parties told NBC News, that’s not the path Trump appears to be taking.
Trump has been both a target of assassination attempts and a fount of vitriolic rhetoric. He knows firsthand the passions that drive American voters and, were he to renounce partisan attacks and call on others in both parties to do the same, that gesture could potentially send a healing message.
A suspect who opened fire on conservative influencer Charlie Kirk has been captured, FBI Director Kash Patel has confirmed.
Kirk, 31, was shot at 12.20pm during a rally at Utah Valley University by a gunman who was caught on camera dashing across a rooftop in the moments after he opened fire.
Terrified screams erupted as the Turning Point USA founder toppled from his chair after the shots rang out.
Charlie Kirk, the powerful rightwing activist, Trump ally and executive director of Turning Point USA (TPUSA), was shot on Wednesday while hosting an event in Utah and is in critical condition at a hospital. In video posts circulating on social media, Kirk can be seen getting struck while speaking and sitting beneath a tent in the Utah Valley University courtyard. Kirk was there as part of The American Comeback Tour, which is hosted by the TPUSA chapter at Utah Valley. There is also video footage of students on campus running away from the sound of gunshots.
Charlie Kirk was shot and killed by an assassin while on stage during a stop at Utah Valley University kicking off his American Comeback Tour Wednesday, just as he answered a question from an audience member about mass shootings committed by transgender people.
The shooter remains on the loose, sources told The Post, despite conflicting reports that an arrest was made. Video was circulating on social media showing an older man being hauled away by police.
Asked if Kirk was in the hospital, President Trump told The Post somberly, “He’s not doing well…yes, it looks very bad,” adding that he was feeling “not good” about the shooting.
