The Colorado Springs shooting suspect’s gender identity will not stop the authorities from bringing in hate crime charges against them, legal experts claim. … The suspect’s gender identity is “not relevant," Neama Rahmani, president of West Coast Trial Lawyers and a former federal prosecutor, told Insider. "Obviously the defense will want to get it in, but it’s not a defense." "It’s certainly something that the defense would try to use, but it’s not in and of itself a bar from hate crime charges depending on what the other evidence is," Brian Levin, professor of criminal justice at California State University,...

The horrific shooting at Club Q in Colorado Springs that left five people dead and many more injured was stopped by a couple of heroes at the venue. But as we’ve gotten used to, there were ghouls attempting to score political points before all the facts were known. Enter NBC News “dystopia beat” reporter Ben Collins, who seemingly had it all figured out: I talked this morning about an inflection point in this country right now, specifically for reporters: What are you more afraid of? Being on Breitbart for saying that trans people deserve to be alive? Or are you...

The fashion house — which has been associated with the likes of Kim Kardashian and previously made headlines for its daring fashion choices — featured the mini models in Balenciaga apparel, holding plush toys that contrasted with the horrifying bondage get-ups.

A little publicized IRS decision should have conservatives who write about politics very alarmed. The IRS revoked the tax-exempt status of a conservative political organization, the Patrick Henry Center for Individual Liberty (PHCIL), due to a handful of articles that founder Gary Aldrich wrote in his personal capacity. His decade-old articles simply criticized Hillary Clinton and John Kerry, which the IRS claimed constituted electioneering. The articles were linked to as "alerts" from the PHCIL website. The American Spectator noted, “Although the literature demands that those like Clinton and Kerry be kept out of power, it never specifically says, ‘Don’t vote...

In 1913, the U.S. Congress passed a bill called the Federal Reserve Act of 1913. This bill allowed an independent group to privatize, and take control of America’s monetary system. The Federal Reserve Bank’s name was chosen to deceive the American people into believing that it is a branch of the U.S. government. It isn’t. This privately held monopoly gives great power to a handful of international bankers ... The Federal Reserve has no reserves. The name was created prior to the Federal Reserve Act being passed in 1913. This was done to make Americans believe the U.S. banking system...

Race Baiter in Chief Gary Aldrich Friday, July 24, 2009 I am angry and I am offended. As a former law enforcement officer who spent 26 years carrying a badge and a gun, when the President of the United States talks about law enforcement, believe me, I listen. So when the president says something really ignorant – when he should know better - I am doubly disappointed. If the country wanted to elect Jessie Jackson or Al Sharpton as president we already had that chance. Many thought Obama was an educated, reasonable, objective man. Instead, I think we have just...
