Several states, all governed by Democrat administrations, have demonstrated clear resistance to the United States Supreme Court's decision in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association, Inc. v. Bruen.   The extended delays in processing concealed carry permit applications, often lasting several months, appear to be a calculated strategy designed to undermine citizens' Second Amendment rights. The pattern of delay tactics across these states suggests a coordinated effort, which is unlikely to be coincidental. Furthermore, these jurisdictions have imposed excessive fees on concealed carry permits and continuously devise additional bureaucratic hurdles, reflecting a deliberate effort to enforce their unconstitutional disarmament policies. It is evident that the concealed carry permit process in these states serves more to disarm law-abiding Americans than to reflect any principles aligned with the Second Amendment. In response, civil disobedience becomes the only means to confr...

Artificial intelligence (AI) has been around for some time, but many have regarded it as a technology of the future. However, the future is now. If you're not engaging with AI, experimenting with it, or leveraging its transformative capabilities, you risk being left behind. Two professions that are particularly vulnerable to the rise of AI are radiologists and lawyers. Radiologists, among the highest-paid medical specialists, interpret images from x-rays, CT scans, MRIs, and ultrasounds to make critical diagnoses. AI has the potential to analyze these images more accurately and efficiently than even the best radiologists. Similarly, AI is set to disrupt the legal field. With the advent of personal computers, lawyers began drafting their own documents, reducing the need for support staff. Now, AI can perform legal research and write briefs with a level of precision that rivals top attorneys, potentially making the need for extensive legal support even less critical. AI has applicati...

Los Angeles, CA—With over 100,000 prisoners set loose and cash bail requirements thrown out the window, crime is skyrocketing while the police are defunded and left powerless. Criminals now roam free, facing almost no risk of arrest or punishment. The public has come to realize that calling the police, reporting crime, or demanding prosecution is often a complete waste of time. Meanwhile, politicians brag about "crime being down" thanks to their creative underreporting of actual crimes. Anyone living in a Democrat-run city knows that’s pure bullshit. Liberals are starting to wake up and realize they can’t rely on the police to protect them. They’re buying guns like never before, seeking training, and rejecting the false notion that the police can or will come to their rescue. They’ve learned the hard way that, more often than not, police show up just in time to write the report, not to stop the crime. I’ve taken countless liberals to the gun range to show them firsthand that ...

Hollywood, CA— There is no question that the combs indictment allege so many disturbing things.     Simultaneously the department of justice has been building a case against the New York mayor and several other people within his administration.     I remain convinced that the two investigations are part of a much bigger combined picture. If prosecutors can even convict combs 1/3 of what he charged with he will never live long enough to see freedom.    I have no independent knowledge of facts.    However, if there is a group involved in the alleged crimes Combs should not stand alone.    If there is any truth to all of the charges in the indictment Combs is in a unique position to bring down a lot of people, including politicians and other celebrities.    This also could provide a way for combs to limit the time he has to spend behind bars.    I even suspect that the justice department has floated that idea to Comb’s d...

Our Founding Fathers were truly a brilliant group of young men. After breaking free from the oppression of the King’s soldiers and using the Magna Carta as a guide, they created a representative republic for the people and by the people. Above all, the Bill of Rights was established to protect Americans from excessive taxation, ensure freedom of movement, safeguard the right to privacy through the Fourth Amendment concerning search and seizure, and, of course, guarantee due process of law before penalizing anyone for legal infractions. Consequently, anyone holding a government position of authority must take an oath to protect and defend the Constitution. The term “democracy” is often misused by those who don’t truly understand it. A democracy allows a simple majority to impose its will on the minority. In contrast, our Republic is designed to protect the liberties of everyone, including the minority. The political left despises our Constitution and our form of government. They seek ri...

Let's start with some background on courthouse security. On August 7, 1970, a deadly incident took place at the Marin County Courthouse in California. Judge Harold Haley was killed when Jonathan Jackson, using guns allegedly supplied by Angela Davis, attempted to free three inmates, taking several hostages in a violent escape attempt. Another serious courthouse event occurred on September 22, 1971, at the Cook County Criminal Courthouse in Chicago. I was actually in the building, two floors below, when it happened. Convicted murderer Gene "Iceman" Lewis, during his court appearance, grabbed a gun left for him on a bookshelf by a lovestruck lady court clerk. He then disarmed the chief bailiff and took two hostages. He was quickly shot and killed by three police officers. After this incident, Presiding Judge, Joseph A. Power issued an order requiring every person entering the courthouse to be physically searched by Sheriff’s Police. This was the first courthouse in the coun...

Beirut, Lebanon—In a turn of events that even Hollywood couldn’t script, Hezbollah just got a mouthful of their own medicine. Israel has been making waves, laser-targeting Hamas and other terror leaders by exploiting cell phone vulnerabilities like a hacker in a spy thriller. To dodge these high-tech takedowns, the terrorists thought they'd outsmart the system by dusting off some 90s relics—pagers. Yes, you read that right. Apparently, pagers are “unhackable,” but there’s one little hiccup: they’re one-way communication devices. Not exactly cutting-edge, but hey, it allowed them to shoot off a mass page and summon their foot soldiers for military action. Low-tech and effective... until it wasn't. In a desperate rush, Hezbollah bought up a batch of pagers. Now, where they found these ancient gadgets is anyone’s guess—eBay? A RadioShack that never closed? But credit goes to some real Einstein who figured out a way to booby-trap them. These pagers came with a “special delivery”—an...

Dallas, TX— Silencers or suppressors have often been glamorized in movies, exaggerating their effectiveness in quieting firearms. While once legal, the National Firearms Act of 1934 introduced a $200 transfer fee, heavily taxing ownership rather than banning them outright. Until recently, buyers of suppressors had to wait months for approval from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (BATFE). However, reports now indicate that BATFE is processing applications in just days, perhaps because of impending court rulings that may eliminate their control over these devices. Three ongoing court challenges could remove suppressor regulations altogether. Despite their mystique, suppressors can’t defy the laws of physics. Bullets traveling faster than 1,100 feet per second still produce a sonic boom. While suppressors reduce sound levels, they’re not as whisper-quiet as Hollywood suggests. Instead, they primarily protect the shooter from hearing damage, a significant issue—espe...

  Martin County, FL—An anonymous bystander played a pivotal role in the capture of would-be presidential assassin Ryan Wesley Routh. Using his phone, the individual snapped a photo of Routh’s license plate and quickly alerted authorities. Police utilized License Plate Reader (LPR) technology to track and arrest the suspect. LPRs are high-resolution cameras that capture license plates, along with the time, date, and location of a vehicle. These devices are either stationary on roads or mounted on vehicles. In this case, a network of LPR cameras in the area helped localize the suspect. LPR technology is becoming an essential tool in modern law enforcement. It can place a suspect near a crime scene or miles away, offering crucial evidence in trials. Data from LPRs, far more reliable than eyewitness accounts, are increasingly used in court to either incriminate or exonerate suspects. Along with other data related surveillance tools, LPRs have significantly increased crime-solving effic...

Michael Lacey and James Larkin Phoenix, AZ— When I moved to Arizona, I came across an interesting free newspaper—an alternative publication filled    with articles by incredibly talented writers. The paper offered long-form articles that you just don’t see in the daily newspapers across the country. The New Times had no hesitation when it came to exposing government waste, fraud, and corruption. Sadly, today’s media offers very little in terms of criticism aimed at the government, perhaps because journalists fear becoming victims of political retaliation. The New Times was founded by Michael Lacey and Jim Larkin. While I don’t know much about Larkin, Lacey was a highly regarded journalist with a significant public profile. Together, the duo expanded their New Times brand, creating numerous publications in various cities. These papers have won countless awards for their outstanding journalism. During this time, newspapers across the country failed to notice the growing competit...

  In the United States Supreme Court , Dred Scott v. Sandford decision (60 U.S. 393, 417): Chief Justice Roger B. Taney made remarks that implicitly referenced the right to bear arms as one of the fundamental rights that would have been extended to African Americans had they been recognized as citizens. While the case is primarily known for its rulings on citizenship and slavery, Taney's opinion lists several rights that would have followed from recognizing African-Americans as citizens. One of these rights included the right to "keep and carry arms wherever they went." Here is the relevant passage from Chief Justice Taney's opinion: “It would give to persons of the negro race, who were recognized as citizens in any one State of the Union, the right to enter every other State whenever they pleased, ... and it would give them the full liberty of speech in public and in private upon all subjects upon which its own citizens might speak; to hold public meetings upon polit...
