NBC Connecticut ^
Connecticut Gov. Ned Lamont acknowledged Monday he helped hire a landscaper that illegally chopped down more than 180 trees and thousands of bushes on a property behind his Greenwich home, capping off days of questions about his level of involvement. The wealthy two-term Democrat, along with one of his neighbors and a neighborhood organization, have been accused of removing trees in protected wetlands — property they do not own — to get a better view of a pond. Lamont denied that charge, telling reporters on Monday the trees were damaged in previous storms and the plan was to clean up...

Judge Napolitano's - Judging Freedom (YOUTUBE channel hosting the video)TRANSCRIPT OF FIRST EXCERPT~~~~~~~~~~~Judge Andrew Napolitano: Over the weekend the Congress of the United States voted to send 61 billion dollars to Ukraine. 20 billion dollars, which was 11 billion more than had been advertised, to the Israelis, 5 billion to the Tiawanese and they made it easier for America's spy agencies to spy on ordinary Americans without suspicion, and without warrants. Does anybody care about the Constitution anymore?Col Douglas Macgregor: Judge, I don't think they do. I think we live in a post-Constitutional society, sadly.Judge Andrew Napolitano: What is your...

Explanation: Only those along the narrow track of the Moon's shadow on April 8 saw a total solar eclipse. But most of North America still saw a partial eclipse of the Sun. From Clearwater, Florida, USA this single snapshot captured multiple images of that more widely viewed celestial event without observing the Sun directly. In the shade of a palm tree, criss-crossing fronds are projecting recognizable eclipse images on the ground, pinhole camera style. In Clearwater the maximum eclipse phase was about 53 percent.

NY Post ^ | 03/06/2024q | Social Links forJosh Christenson
The House of Representatives approved a “minibus” spending bill on Wednesday to avert a partial government shutdown this weekend — despite opposition from conservative Republicans. The $467.5 billion package was supported by 207 Democrats and 132 Republicans and keeps funding levels roughly the same through Sept. 30 for the Departments of Veterans Affairs, Agriculture, Transportation, Commerce, Housing and Urban Development and Justice, as well as military construction. Senate and House appropriators released the 1,050-page bill on Sunday afternoon, with Republicans celebrating the domestic spending levels as a budget cut for federal agencies like the FBI and Democrats touting the protection...

Congress unveiled the first six appropriations bills on Sunday to fund the government for most of 2024. The rollout of the appropriations bills follows Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) and other congressional leaders striking a deal to avert a government shutdown and fund the government for most of 2024. The six appropriations bills would fund the Departments of Agriculture, Interior, Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, Veterans Affairs, Justice, Commerce, and Energy. The bipartisan package amounts to 1,050-pages and includes more than $450 billion in funding for the fiscal year 2024.

Congressional leaders struck a deal on Wednesday that would hope to avert a partial government shutdown. Top lawmakers closed negotiations on the Agriculture, Energy, Military Construction and Veterans Affairs; Transportation-Housing and Urban Development, and Interior; and Commerce-Justice-Science appropriations bills, setting a deadline for March 8 to pass the spending bills. Leadership hopes to release the text of the bills by this weekend and pass the bills next week. The spending bills would fund related government agencies through September, right before the 2024 elections. The remaining appropriations bills that would fund the Department of Defense, Department of Homeland Security (DHS); Departments...

(NEXSTAR) – As the clock ticks down toward a potential partial shutdown of the federal government this week, millions who rely on federal assistance for food could be left in the balance. If Congress fails to reach a deal to fund the government, a partial government shutdown would be triggered on March 1. That partial shutdown would impact several federal agencies, including the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), which manages SNAP and WIC food assistance. SNAP, which stands for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, used to be called the Food Stamp Program. The program helps low-income and no-income families buy groceries...

Just the News ^ | February 9, 2024 | Joseph Weber
The Wisconsin Elections Commission has complied with court orders and will now tell the over 1,800 local election clerks they can accept absentee ballots that are missing parts of a witness address. The commission made the move after members voted 5-1 Thursday. The lone no vote against the new guidance was cast by Republican Commissioner Bob Spindell, according to the Wisconsin State Journal. Previously, clerks were required to try to contact voters to correct absentee ballot envelopes that had “incomplete or insufficient” witness address information before accepting such ballots. Wisconsin law requires absentee ballots to be submitted with a witness’s...

Why in Arizona as opposed to Texas? Most of the dramatic footage you see of people crossing the Rio Grande, tens of thousands of people in giant caravans, that's happening in Texas. The answer is, because the Tucson sector, which is where we are right now, is actually one of the top sites in the nation, not only for illegal immigration, it is the number one site for fentanyl trafficking across the border. How much fentanyl is crossing our southern border? The answer is, we actually don't know. In 2023, there were 27, 000 pounds of fentanyl seized at the...
 

Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer Signs Radical Bill Allowing Partial-Birth Abortions

Life News ^ | November 22, 2023 | Steven Ertelt
Gov. Gretchen Whitmer has signed a suite of extreme pro-abortion bills to enact the radical promises established by the passage of Prop 3. The measures remove the partial-birth abortion ban, eliminate health and safety standards for abortion facilities required for any other medical facility, and allow abortion facilities to conceal information from women about risks and complications. Right to Life of Michgan president Barb Listing condemned the signings in comments to LifeNews: “This is a dark day in Michigan as the Governor recklessly signs into law a package of bills that present an immediate danger to the health and safety...
 

Mitch McConnell OKs Partial Immigration Reforms

The Senate’s establishment GOP leadership has endorsed valuable but limited reforms to immigration policy because of populist pressure from the House GOP amid the end-of-year budget negotiations. The draft changes endorsed by Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) are valuable but are also inadequate to block inevitable evasions by President Joe Biden’s deputies, said Jon Feere, the director of investigations at the Center for Immigration Studies. “The devil is in the details and there’s not much detail here … and there’s no language that requires actual [measurable] results,” he told Breitbart News.

Explanation: What's happened to the Moon? Within the last day, part of the Moon moved through the Earth's shadow. This happens about once or twice a year, but not every month since the Moon's orbit around the Earth is slightly tilted. Pictured here, the face of a full Hunter's Moon is shown twice from Italy during this partial lunar eclipse. On the left, most of the Moon appears overexposed except for the eclipsed bottom right, which shows some familiar lunar surface details. In contrast, on the right, most of the (same) Moon appears normally exposed, with the exception of the...

OLUMBUS, Ohio (LifeSiteNews) — A proposed amendment to the Ohio Constitution enshrining a “right” to effectively unlimited abortion in the Buckeye State would go far beyond the Roe v. Wade status quo and block prohibitions on partial-birth and dismemberment abortions, allow abortionists to target disabled babies, and end parental consent requirements, according to a legal analysis from the office of Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost. Drafted by the Ohio chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and backed by the Ohio Physicians for Reproductive Rights (OPRR) advocacy arm Protect Choice Ohio (PCO), the proposed Right to Reproductive Freedom with...

COLUMBUS, Ohio (LifeSiteNews) — Notorious partial-birth abortion pioneer Martin Haskell is putting $100,000 behind the effort to enshrine a “right” to effectively unlimited abortion in the Ohio Constitution, which opponents of the ballot measure say is a fitting illustration of what Ohioans can expect if it succeeds. Drafted by the Ohio chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and backed by the Ohio Physicians for Reproductive Rights (OPRR) advocacy arm Protect Choice Ohio (PCO), the proposed Right to Reproductive Freedom with Protections for Health and Safety Amendment posits a “right” to make “personal reproductive” decisions, “including but not limited...
 

Caleb Williams Reportedly Wants Partial Ownership Of Whatever NFL Team Drafts Him

The Caleb Williams saga is going to be one that we're going to get tired of quickly. It's a unique situation. As long as Williams stays healthy and doesn't completely shit the bed, he will go number one in next year's draft. He's already got a Heisman Trophy, and now it seems like he's making demands. About a month back, it was reported that Williams would consider staying in college if the Cardinals ended up with the number one overall pick. I think that's such an insane thing to entertain. It was like the first week of the season, why...

Maryland’s “can’t carry anywhere” legislation will take effect on Sunday, but a federal judge has granted a preliminary injunction barring enforcement in at least some of the state’s new “gun-free zones.” U.S. District Judge George L. Russell III, appointed to the bench by Barack Obama in 2012, split the baby in his decision; allowing Maryland’s prohibitions on lawful carrying to remain in effect as they apply to museums, health care facilities, state parks and state forests, mass transit facilities, school grounds, government buildings, stadiums, racetracks, amusement parks, and casinos while granting an injunction against enforcement of the new law when...

The ATF’s attempt to expand the definition of a “frame or receiver” of a firearm has been deemed UNLAWFUL by a TX District Judge. The ATF CANNOT change the definition of a firearm without congressional approval & points out the language omitted by Congress regarding frames & receivers.The judge argues there is a CONTRADICTION OF LOGIC in ATF’s argument that distinguishes between weapon parts kits & fully assembled weapons. During the Biden administration, the ATF has worked to vastly expand the definition of what a “frame or receiver” of a firearm is. On June 30, 2023, Texas District Judge Reed...

France has imposed a partial ban on internet services from Monday across parts of the country as riots continued for the fifth day on Sunday. The unrest was triggered after a 17-year-old was killed by a police officer in a suburb of Paris city on Tuesday. Nahel, who was of Algerian and Moroccan descent, was shot at point-blank for driving off his car during a police traffic check. On Sunday, France’s Interior Ministry said in a statement that the restrictions are “intended to prevent the misuse of social networks and online platforms to coordinate illegal actions and incite violence”.
