WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, America First Legal (AFL), Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, and a coalition of twenty state Attorneys General took new legal action to stop President Biden from continuing to fly hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens from crime-plagued nations directly into cities across the United States. The underlying lawsuit aims to stop the Biden Administration’s “parole” scheme that allows 30,000 aliens from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela (CHNV) to enter the country each month and remain–indefinitely. The program allows these aliens–after more or less flying to the destination of their choice–to obtain work permits and ultimately claim...

George Carlin’s daughter and keeper of his estate, Kelly Carlin, isn’t laughing about a new AI-generated “special” of supposedly new material by her late father titled I’m Glad I’m Dead.

A grassroots organization defeated a government-backed COVID-19 vaccine mandate in Ecuador’s Loja Province on Aug 5.

Google Trends indicate that searches for "Election Fraud Punishment" surged specifically in the crucial swing-states of Michigan, Pennsylvania and Arizona in the weeks before the election. One would imagine the term would be searched by people concerned with the punishment for committing election fraud. The election results in all three states are being highly-contested. As I reported on Friday, Joe Biden got a shockingly disproportionate 60-point advantage over Donald Trump in absentee mail-in ballots in Pennsylvania and a 38-point advantage in Michigan.

Lin Wood, the Atlanta lawyer representing Covington Catholic student Nick Sandmann in upcoming litigation, spoke with Big League Politics Wednesday to offer some insight into his firm’s investigative process, and the strategy of his client.

Donald J. Trump was emphatic in the second presidential debate: Yes, he had boasted about kissing women without permission and grabbing their genitals. But he had never actually done those things, he said. “No,” he declared under questioning on Sunday evening, “I have not.” At that moment, sitting at home in Manhattan, Jessica Leeds, 74, felt he was lying to her face. “I wanted to punch the screen,” she said in an interview in her apartment. More than three decades ago, when she was a traveling businesswoman at a paper company, Ms. Leeds said, she sat beside Mr. Trump in...

SCOTTISH actor Sean Connery sued a California golf club today for breach of contract, saying its managers cheated him out of more than $US500,000 ($680,000). The former James Bond star joined the Sherwood Country Club of Thousand Oaks, a Los Angeles suburb, in 1990. According to the lawsuit, Connery, 75, considered the $US35,000 ($48,000) a year he was paying in dues an investment, and that he could recover 80 per cent of it after three years, while the club's owners capitalised on his fame to attract new investors.

France's top Muslim organisation is set to sue French newspapers that published cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad. The French Council of the Muslim Faith (CFCM), an umbrella organisation of Muslim groups, said on Friday it had taken the decision with the support of all its members after receiving lawyers' counsel.

By far the most dramatic menace to this nation’s future and safety emanates from the cauldrons of Islamist extremism. But Americans are also in danger of losing their country on another front. A far larger incursion into the American homeland is being carried out via its southern border. Though an ongoing problem for many years, its instigators now apparently believe they are ready to take their attack to the next level. During a January 28 radio interview, Mexican Foreign Secretary Luis Ernesto Derbez has threatened the State of Arizona with legal action through the international courts in order to overturn...
