New York Moves to Ban Gas Stoves

Although Joe Biden’s sweeping federal ban on fossil fuel powered appliances was shot down, the liberal war on gas stoves rages on. New York state lawmakers are looking to pass an identical ban on the devices to its residents. The bill is being brought forth in what the state claims are an attempt to cut back on day-to-day fossil fuel usage. Currently, California and Washington are the only other states with similar legislation on gas stove restrictions, although they are only enforceable through building codes, leaving some leeway for landowners to be able to be in possession of such devices. New York’s ban would be outright and forbid the possession and sale of gas stoves beyond a set date. Read More

ANOTHER Biden Gaffe Ruins Women’s History Month

The White House had to go on damage control and correct the record when President Biden made another gaffe when he was talking about his Violence Against Women Act. Biden slipped up, saying, "You know, but this builds on other steps you’ve taken, and we’ve taken, like the most significant gun safety law in 30 years, to help keep guns out of the hands of domestic political advisors," and the White House had to fix his statement by switching domestic political advisors to convicted domestic abusers. This wasn’t the first blunder of the day, and he reminisced about his wife leaving messages on his mirror which say, ‘Stop trying to make me love you." Biden’s continual gaffes continue to draw criticism, with many worried about how the President can operate professionally when his public appearances continue to cause embarrassment. Read More

Colorado Dentist Charged for Poisoning Wife 

A mother of six is dead after her husband poisoned her protein shakes. Prosecutors filed a first-degree murder charge against Colorado dentist James Toliver Craig, 45, accusing him of having fatally poisoned his wife, Angela Craig. According to police, Craig laced her protein shakes with arsenic and cyanide. Police alleged in the arrest warrant that Craig killed his wife to work on “starting a new life” with another woman. Angela Craig was pronounced brain-dead Saturday. She had gone to the hospital three days prior complaining of a “severe headache” and dizziness, the third time she had been to the hospital in less than two weeks, according to the arrest warrant. After having a severe seizure, she was eventually placed on life support and died. According to police, potassium cyanide was shipped to James Craig's dental practice, leading to his arrest.

Trump Lawyer Appears Before Grand Jury 

A lawyer for President Trump appeared in court Friday after being ordered to answer before a grand jury investigating Donald Trump's handling of classified documents at Mar-a-Lago. M. Evan Corcoran, part of Trump’s legal counsel, was forced to appear before a grand jury after a federal judge ruled in favor of the Justice Department's request for additional answers to their questions. Mr. Corcoran was initially able to avoid prosecutors by citing attorney-client privilege. However, U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell required Corcoran to appear before the grand jury and answer their questions in full. So far, multiple lawyers for Trump have already testified to the jury, like Timothy Parlatore, who said that he had spent hours testifying in front of the grand jury to answer any and all questions presented to him. But, prosecutors were not satisfied. The Mar-a-Lago investigation is led by a Justice Department special counsel, Jack Smith, who is coincidentally also investigating attempts by President Trump to overturn the 2020 election. It’s safe to say Mr. Smith won’t be satisfied until he gets a form of justice that fits his own politically motivated narrative. Read More

Florida Looks to Expand ‘Don’t Say Gay’ Bill

A year following its original passage, Ron DeSantis and the Florida government are looking to expand the scope of the Parental Rights in Education bill dubbed by the media as ‘Don’t Say Gay’. The bill was originally created in order to prevent public schools from teaching young students lessons in gender identity and sexual orientation, topics that many would deem inappropriate and indoctrinating in nature for children. Although the reach of the initial legislation only applied to grades K-3, the Florida State Board of Education (FSBE) is set to rule on an expansion of the bill that would cover grades K-12, meaning middle and high schools would also be subject to the law. “Parents have the right and God-given responsibility to guide their children’s upbringing,” Sen. Clay Yarborough (R-Jacksonville) stated when asked about his support for the bill’s expansion. It is expected that the new ruling will be passed with flying colors, as the FSBE is currently composed entirely of Rick Scott and Ron DeSantis appointees. Read More

Segregation 2.0: Liberal College Graduation Edition

Grand Valley State University in Michigan has been at the center of controversy recently as they announced that this year they will host separate graduation ceremonies based on race and sexuality. Some of the groups with their own ceremonies will be Black students, Asian students, and ‘Latinx’ students. Not all ceremonies will be racially segregated, however, as there will also be a non-racial ceremony for LGBT students, where graduates will be eligible for such prestigious academic awards as the "Outstanding LGBTQIA+ Graduate Award." GVSU is not the only college to roll out segregated programs for graduates. In recent years other major colleges like Columbia and Harvard University have also announced they will host similar celebrations. Read More

High Profile J6th Case’s Stunning Twist

The attorneys for five Proud Boys who are on trial for ‘seditious conspiracy’ have been informed that a witness they called on behalf of the defense has been a government informant since 2021. Carmen Hernandez, an attorney for one of the Proud Boys, said that the informant has been in contact with more than one member of the council for the defense and at least one defendant since the trial began. The ongoing trial is one of the most high-profile cases to stem from the protest on January 6th. According to the court, the informant has worked for the government as a “confidential source” from April 2021 to at least January 2023. Lawyers for the Proud Boys are now asking for more information on the government’s source, concerned that whoever it is could have been asking for privileged information about the defense team while attending “prayer meetings” with some of the defendants' families.

President Biden’s Sinking Ship

President Biden’s approval rating is almost hitting record lows, capping out at 38% this week after hitting 45% in February. Part of Biden’s problem could be due to the defensive nature of his administration in recent weeks. Voters and reporters have been unforgiving to the White House as it becomes increasingly clear that the Biden administration is directly at fault for the country’s rising inflation and economic woes. Biden has repeatedly touted that inflation would be ‘temporary’ following the Democrats’ rampant spending sprees over the course of the administration. However, three years into the presidency, things have only seemed to have gotten worse. As of now, even Democrats are becoming disillusioned with Washington’s policies, with 61% disapproving of how the President is handling the economy although 76% of them approve of his performance overall. Republicans, unsurprisingly, overwhelmingly disapprove of the President’s performance on both accounts. Read More

Big Wins for Kari Lake

The Arizona Supreme Court has sent one piece of Kari Lake’s election contest back to a Superior Court for review. The issue to be reconsidered is whether Maricopa County followed signature verification procedures in the 2022 election. Although most of Kari Lake’s grievances against the election were thrown out by the court, Kari and her supporters are touting this as a big win. Her team is excited that now they can conduct signature verification on ballots from the election, which could prove to be the final piece of the puzzle to prove their case. According to Kari — big things are coming. She was thrilled with the ruling, stating, “The signature verification process in Maricopa County is a house of cards.” No matter the results, the fact that Lake and her team have gotten this far is a testament to their dedication and a wake-up call for Arizona’s elections.

Record-Breaking Storm Wreaks Havoc in CA

A massive cyclone crashed into Northern California earlier this week, leaving many in the affected areas without power and reeling from massive flood damage. Winds in the region were clocked at over 80 miles per hour, with some sources claiming gusts were climbing as high as 110 mph. The aftermath of the storm can only be described as pure chaos.
