The move came after a shooting during the fair in 2023, one that was committed by someone who couldn't legally carry a gun. The lawsuit contended that the State Fair of Texas and the City of Dallas,

Kayleigh McEnany spent the darkest days of the COVID-19 pandemic just steps from Dr. Anthony Fauci while serving as White House press secretary during President Donald Trump's first term. Now, after digging into Fauci's newly revealed diaries, she says the American people got played.
"I was in the Situation Room with Dr. Fauci, I was in the Oval Office with Dr. Fauci, I had phone calls with Dr. Fauci. I spent a lot of time with this man,"[snip] while McEnany made her case publicly with real data behind her, Fauci was privately trashing the entire effort in his own diary.
To some people, the COVID era is just a mildly unpleasant memory, and they’re “over it.”
I am not one of those people.
The totalitarian pandemic regime that took over much of the country ruined countless lives, cost thousands their careers, and resulted in unimaginable learning loss in our children. In deep-blue places like California, COVID cultists like Gov. Gavin Newsom and LA County Department of Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer took the guidance from the CDC and former Chief Medical Advisor to the President Dr. Anthony Fauci and kept much of the state on lockdown for the better part of two years.
A Westchester County police bigwig and her ex-con hubbie chaperoned their gangbanger son to a botched hit on a rival in the Bronx – then she took over as the getaway driver, officials said Tuesday.
Mount Vernon Deputy Police Commissioner Jennifer Lackard, 49, and her husband James Lackard drove their 20-year-old son Chase Lackard to Concourse on June 29 at around 11:57 a.m. and helped him plan a brazen hit right outside the Bronx Criminal Court, according to police and court records.

The Justice Department announced Tuesday that it has reached a $3.2 million settlement with OpenAI over allegations the company deliberately discriminated against American workers.
Investigators found that OpenAI preferred temporary visa holders when filling certain high-paying technology positions.

According to a DOJ press release, OpenAI failed to post some of these job openings on its public career website, even though that was its standard practice for other positions. The company also required applicants to submit paper applications by mail while allowing electronic applications for most other jobs.
The vibrant, east Asian immigrant enclave of Flushing may be New York’s medical fraud capital.
A one-mile radius of the neighborhood boasts 77 Social Adult Daycares (SADCs), which bill Medicaid over $100 million a year, accounting for 14 percent of all daycare spending in the state, a Post investigation reveals.
When The Post visited some of largest — which are private businesses that have claimed between $20 and 40 million from Medicaid over the last six years — many storefronts were shuttered, and those that were open had empty rooms with no patients.
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is moving way past irony and taking things to an entirely new level: Lie-rony.
Mamdani recently blew away political observers with his proposal to have government-backed grocery stores.
New Yorkers will soon enjoy a 30 percent discount on their meat, seafood, milk, and bread — so long as they shop at a city-owned store. [snip]Now, we come to the hitch in Mamdani's program: You've got to present a government ID proving residency in order for the government to recognize your "human right" to grocery prices that are 30 percent below retail.
A heroic armed citizen tried to take out a gunman as he opened fire on an Idaho In-N-Out, according to heart-stopping video and witnesses.
Harrowing footage shows a man with a handgun exchanging fire with the shooter outside the restaurant in Twin Falls, ID.
Two people were killed and seven wounded. The gunman is believed to have killed himself, according to police.The actions of the good Samaritan may have saved lives by distracting the gunman long enough for diners and workers at the crowded burger joint to get away, according to Lane Koehn, who took the video from his car.

Morocco and Ceuta after massive frontier
rush killed 67 12 replies
CEUTA, Spain (AP) — Spain announced it was installing a 500-meter-long (1,600-foot) containment barrier on the sea border between its North African territory of Ceuta and neighboring Morocco after between 50,000 and 60,000 migrants breached the frontier earlier this week.
The death toll has climbed to 67, including some who drowned and others who were killed in a stampede to cross a breakwater barrier, the Spanish government said Saturday.
A handful of exhausted migrants who swam to Ceuta’s urban Tarajal beach Saturday morning were met by soldiers who escorted them back across the border.
An unprecedented wave of nearly 50,000 illegal migrants from Africa has flooded the Spanish enclave of Ceuta, prompting Spain to deploy its military – as locals liken the invasion to an “apocalypse.”
Harrowing local media reports reveal residents and business owners in Ceuta – a Spanish territory located on the north African coast – are terrified to open their doors amid the rush of migrants, many of whom arrived wearing nothing but swimwear without a penny or possession to their name.
“Businesses closed. Shops shut because if you open a business, it gets overrun … We’re scared. The streets are packed. There are no measures in place. It’s every man for himself.
As if things with Iran weren't already complicated enough, there are indications that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) is trying something new - in, of all places, Minnesota.

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) just had Dr. Anthony Fauci’s attorney escorted out of a hearing by Capitol Police.
Paul claimed that the attorney, David Schertler, was not authorized to speak and had been instructed to not sit at the witness table with Fauci — but he did so anyway.
“You will respect these proceedings. You were told not to sit at the table. You insist on sitting at the table and we told you you would not be recognized. You are not invited here for testimony, sir. You are being disruptive. Would you behave this way in a courtroom? No, because the judge would put you in jail.

Francesca Hong, the radical leftist running for governor of Wisconsin, has been in the news for the last two days over negative comments she once made about Thanksgiving being a symbol of colonialism and ‘the original superspreader.’
Well, the polling on that must have come in because now Hong is out there telling people that Thanksgiving is her favorite holiday and she totally means it, everyone.
These people have no shame. They will literally look you in the face and say whatever they think will open the doors of power for them.

The Food and Drug Administration on Wednesday approved the U.S.’ first flu shot that uses mRNA technology: mFlusiva, from drugmaker Moderna.
The FDA granted approval for two age groups, adults 50 to 65 and adults 65 and up, on the condition that Moderna run an additional clinical trial in the older group, the company said in a release. In a late-stage trial, mFlusiva was found to be about 27% more effective than a standard flu shot.
Many scientists and public health experts have touted the idea of an mRNA-based flu vaccine, which uses the same messenger RNA platform as the Covid vaccines from Moderna and Pfizer.

For nearly 40 years, the global warming cabal has spread fear and wasted resources on an emergency that doesn’t exist. While their influence has begun to wane, as their credibility has crashed and their lies have been exposed, the fabrications, exaggerations, and junk science continue. How much longer must we endure their campaign of rancid propaganda? The dawning moment of the global warming movement was NASA scientist James Hansen’s June 1988 testimony before the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee. “In my opinion,”
Wednesday on CNN’s “OutFront,” Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) claimed Republicans would vote for Michigan Democratic Senate Candidate Abdul El-Sayed.
Jayapal said, “I’m struck by the fact that they have nothing positive to offer voters. All they can do is try to attach labels to Abdul El-Sayed after seeing a primary. That was a remarkable turnout from voters. I mean, 1.4 million votes, I believe, were cast in the Michigan primary; people are electrified and being on the ground with Abdul. I can tell you he is an electrifying candidate. He has really mobilized a whole group of voters who had given up

“When voluntary cooperation ends, Congress must be able to compel compliance with its lawful demands. That is Congress’s compulsory instrument,“ Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), chairman of the panel, said before the vote. ”A subpoena is not an invitation. A subpoena with no consequence is not a subpoena; it’s a suggestion.”
The Trump administration will require that some prospective immigrants post a bond of up to $250,000 in order to obtain a U.S. visa as part of a new pilot program aimed at ensuring those who seek a new home in America have the financial means to support themselves without taxpayer handouts, the Washington Free Beacon can reveal.
The pilot bond program, which will go into effect Tuesday morning in conjunction with the Department of Homeland Security, will initially apply to certain immigrants from the Dominican Republic and could expand to other nations in the future.

Some blockbuster news is dropping Wednesday night as pertains to the ongoing congressional investigations into Anthony Fauci: a copy of the diminutive doctor's COVID-era phone has landed in the hands of the Senate Homeland Security Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, which is chaired by Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI).According to an exclusive report in the Wall Street Journal, the phone was handed over by the Department of Health and Human Services, and is likely to contain additional records about Fauci's conduct during the pandemic. This comes a week after Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) publicly released an archive of documents related to Fauci's handling of COVID, including his diaries.

On the heels of President Donald Trump's Tuesday fundraiser in Los Angeles, and with the November midterms less than 100 days away, Washington Republicans hold a commanding financial edge over Washington Democrats that could prove decisive in key races for control of Congress.
The Republican National Committee reported more than $128 million in cash on hand at the end of June with no debt, while the Democratic National Committee had about $16 million in cash and roughly $18.5 million in debt, leaving it in the red.
The disparity extends to other national party committees and aligned super PACs,
Abdul El-Sayed is the latest Islamo-socialist terrorist-sympathizer star of the Democrat Party, after squeaking to a win in the Michigan Senate primary Tuesday.
Although he underperformed his poll numbers and the predictions of his media boosters, the lockdown-loving health bureaucrat has accelerated the radical left’s conquest of the Democrat Party from within.
If El-Sayed can pull off a victory in November in the Midwest, in the swingiest of swing states, what will stop a Marxist heading for the White House?
The Russiagate hoax has produced enough reports, investigations, memos, hearings, surveillance applications, and declassified documents to wallpaper the Sistine Chapel.

What the hell actually happened? (snip)But the issue is, we don’t have the hard facts in our hot little hands in order to put these bad guys behind bars. And now, investigative reporter Paul Sperry says the FBI may be sitting on a big document that could finally help answer that question and lock some people up.
Only 25 years after the September 11 attacks on the United States, a major political party has fallen in with people who view that attack as deserved and the attackers as righteous. If it were parody, no one would accept it because good parody is based in truth and the truth is this fall of the Democratic Party is not believable. Sure, they’ve expressed sympathies for enemies of the United States before, but always for political advantage only; now they appear to mean it or are so afraid of it they won’t say anything to the contrary.
