Virginia Governor Admits She Just Banned
Guns 'Frequently Used for Hunting'

Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger may have inadvertently given opponents of the state's soon-to-be-enacted "assault firearm" ban some legal ammunition to use in their fight to get the new law declared unconstitutional. Spanberger released a statement explaining her rationale for signing the gun and magazine ban bill into law, and while most of it is the same eye-rolling nonsense we've heard from anti-gunners for decades, there was one line that's pretty intriguing.

Her comments don't support the law she signed. Remember, she worked at the CIA

The author correctly points out that ALL rifles, of every type, together account for 3% of all homicides, and that percentage has been stable for decades. These modern sporting rifles, of approximately military styling, are maybe 1/3 or less of "all rifles". So, they get hysterical and fight to ban guns which are historically used in about 1% of homicides. 99% of murderers use other weapons, and 'personal weapons', defined by the FBI as hands, feet, elbows, etc, account for many times as .any homicides as these falsely labeled 'assault weapons', more accurately described as modern sporting rifles. Dems getting hysterical not because the guns are used often in murders (they aren't), but because they are effective in self defense use....including against a tyrannical government.

Rats will ignore any court ruling they don't like, or anything in the constitution that they can't twist away, but they will NEVER, NEVER, make a serious, sustained effort to disarm criminals, gangs or mental cases. They need, and even encourage, murders and crime, in order to smear and disarm legal, responsible, gun owners.

I'm surprised that nobody has attempted to ban all of the martial arts and self-defense schools in the country. Despots in Japan once tried that and created the Ninja class. The attempted banning of hunting rifles may one day turn these Second Amendment violaters into "big game."

Democratic Colorado Gov. Jared Polis commuted the sentence of former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters on Friday, shortening her nearly nine-year prison sentence related to the 2020 election. Peters was sentenced to nine years in prison in 2024 but an appeals court ruled last month that she needs to be resentenced after part of the sentence punished Peters for her protected speech regarding fraud claims in the 2020 election. Polis denied that the commutation was an attempt to appease President Donald Trump, instead highlighting that Peters was a first-time nonviolent offender who was given an "unusually harsh sentence."

White House Drug Czar Sara Carter convened the first in-person meeting of the Emerging Threats Committee on May 13 as federal officials work to identify dangerous drug threats before they spread through the illegal supply. The Office of National Drug Control Policy hosted the meeting, which included federal, state, local, and Tribal officials, as well as leaders from academia, the private sector, and nongovernmental organizations, according to an ONDCP press release provided to The Dallas Express. Committee members discussed the state of the illegal drug supply, new threat vectors, and challenges facing state, local, and Tribal communities. The meeting followed the May 4 release of President Donald Trump’s 2026 National Drug Control Strategy,

Three candidates lead the Los Angeles mayoral race: former reality television star Spencer Pratt, incumbent Karen Bass, and Los Angeles city Councilwoman Nithya Raman. Pratt says he’ll free Angelenos from the “open air drug zombies” who “commit multiple felonies every single day,” simply by enforcing the law. Bass wants to give those zombies new teeth. “How many people who are unhoused that you meet have no teeth at all? They don’t have teeth, why? Because meth rots your teeth.

The Democratic Party wants voters to believe the border crisis created by President Joe Biden was an accident that Democrats solved in June 2024 with an executive order tightening asylum screening. This is utterly false. The Biden administration worked hard with the United Nations to facilitate as much migration to the United States as possible. The U.N. reaffirmed the policy this week, and it is therefore only one White House election away from being reinstated by a future Democratic administration.

Federal employees are suing the U.S. Department of Agriculture and Secretary Brooke Rollins, accusing the Trump official of "Christian proselytizing" after she sent department emails on Christmas and Easter with religious messages. The complaint, brought by the National Federation of Federal Employees and seven USDA employees, accuses Rollins of "sending increasingly proselytizing communications to the entire USDA workforce, promoting her own preferred brand of Christian beliefs and theology to the captive audience of employees that report to her," since becoming head of the government agency in February 2025. In the complaint, the plaintiffs say Rollins sent emails to all USDA employees on national and religious holidays, most overtly on Easter

This week the Democrat mayor of Arcadia, CA pled guilty to charges of acting as an illegal agent of the People’s Republic of China. Prosecutors alleged that from 2020–2022 (pre-mayor but continuing into her time in office), she and an associate operated a website promoting pro-China propaganda at the direction of PRC officials, without registering as a foreign agent. She faces at up to 10 years in prison for the crime, and it raises questions about how many more US mayors are on the payroll of foreign governments. But this scandal, like most scandals surrounding Democrats, will probably be erased from public discussion and forgotten within days.

The Justice Department filed a federal lawsuit Wednesday against the District of Columbia Bar’s disciplinary authorities, alleging that the attorney discipline process has been improperly used to investigate and penalize federal government lawyers for actions taken in their official capacities. At the center of the dispute is an ongoing disciplinary case involving former Assistant Attorney General Jeffrey Clark, who faced scrutiny over his role in discussions surrounding the 2020 presidential election and a draft letter concerning allegations of election fraud in Georgia. According to the Justice Department, the letter was never finalized or sent, and the disciplinary proceedings improperly target internal executive branch deliberations.

The nations of Europe are suffering from the invasion of economic migrants, who are overwhelmingly Muslim, and who arrive hoping to take advantage of every benefit the generous welfare states of Western Europe provide. These include free or greatly subsidized housing, free medical care, free education including language tuition, unemployment benefits even without a prior employment history, family allowances, and more. At least a hundred billion euros a year is being spent on these migrants across the continent; Germany alone spends more than 30 billion euros on migrants. Meanwhile, cuts are made to government spending on the indigenous elderly and poor. These Muslim migrants, with a handful of exceptions, have

There’s a pattern here. In Maine, Socialist Senate candidate Graham Platner, who claims to be a working class oysterman, is a rich kid who isn’t an oysterman, and in Michigan, Abdul El-Sayed, whose whole pitch for office is claiming to be a doctor and running on implementing socialized medicine… has no medical license and barely ever practiced. Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed for years has publicly said he’s a physician — but there’s overwhelming evidence that he’s had no experience as a licensed medical doctor. This April, he gave an interview to a local TV journalist where he talked up his credentials as a physician multiple times.

Of course, none of them were asking for Whoopi’s endorsement or vote of confidence. Not that that mattered. But, of course, she wasn’t done. She went full theater-of-the-absurd

Inherent Right to Life for … Wild Rice? 9 replies

Minnesota Democrats are advancing legislation that would recognize an “inherent right” for uncultivated wild rice to “exist and thrive,” even as state law continues to uphold expansive abortion “rights.” Senate File 3749 (SF3749), introduced by Senator Mary Kunesh (D-New Brighton) on February 19, 2026, would amend Minnesota’s statute describing the state’s official grain and add language recognizing such a right. The proposal comes three years after Governor Tim Walz signed the Protect Reproductive Options (PRO) Act into law on January 31, 2023. The law codifies abortion as a “fundamental right” in Minnesota statute, and allows the procedure at any stage when deemed necessary for the mother’s health. Wild rice has been Minnesota’s
