Armed activists with a coalition of black self-defense groups marched in Austin, Texas over the weekend calling for an end to illegal immigration and demanding that President Biden close the borders. Some of the activists chanted 'close the borders' and 'take your a** home' as they marched toward the Texas Capitol in the 'Second Amendment Unity Walk' on Saturday. The march was led by The Elmer 'Geronimo' Pratt Pistol & Rifle Gun Club. Their demands also included reparations for descendants of enslaved people and a hate crime bill protecting Black Americans. The group faced opposition from a handful of Trump...

It’s an older story but provides another embarrassing tale for the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Remember the 2020 kidnapping plot against Democratic Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, which was later exposed as a failed FBI entrapment plot? The supposed masterminds got charged, but none of them were indicted because the case was marinated with lies. This case was supposed to be a slam-dunk for the feds. It was a train wreck, but the damage was done. Whitmer weaponized the FBI informant-led plot to attack Trump in the waning days of the 2020 election, which was possibly the bureau’s intent. They fabricated...

BLM protestors, including the nephew of George Floyd, have invaded the Iowa State Capitol, clashing with state troopers when they tried to arrest one woman.BLM supporters gathered outside the Iowa Capitol on Thursday morning as part of a “Kill the Racist Bills” protest, organised by the “Advocates for Social Justice” group.

FBI Special Agents arrested Daniel Alan Baker, 33, over an alleged plot to rally like-minded individuals to violently confront protesters on Sunday at the Florida Capitol. Baker claimed to have fought in Syria against ISIS and the Turkish government, according to a federal complaint.

Police in Olympia arrested one person Saturday afternoon following a shooting at a violent protest between two heavily armed groups near the Capital building. The Thurston County sheriff’s office confirmed the arrest but didn’t immediately release details. The Olympia Police Department said the person who was shot was taken to a hospital by other civilians. That person’s injuries are unknown.

A granite monument of the Ten Commandments planned near Arkansas’ Capitol will weigh 6,000 pounds and stand more than 6 feet tall, the group lined up to install the display said in an application filed Monday. The American History and Heritage Foundation detailed its plans for the privately-funded monument in papers submitted to the secretary of state’s office. The majority-Republican Legislature and GOP Gov. Asa Hutchinson approved a law last year that requires the state to allow the monument to be built on Capitol grounds. …

Oklahoma voters will decide in November whether to abolish an article of the state constitution so that a Ten Commandments monument can be returned to the Capitol grounds. The House voted 65-7 late Thursday for a resolution calling for a statewide vote on whether to remove a constitutional prohibition on the use of state funds to support a religion. The state Supreme Court relied on that section of the constitution in June when it ordered a 6-foot-tall granite Ten Commandments monument moved from the Capitol grounds. The monument’s removal angered many Oklahomans, particularly Republican lawmakers who vowed to return the...

It may seem absurd—or given the moral state of the nation, appropriate—but the grounds committee for the Oklahoma State Capitol, the Preservation Commission, has been asked by The Satanic Temple, a group from New York, to place a privately-funded statue of Satan, complete with pentagram and two fawning children at Lucifer’s knee, on the Capitol grounds near a monument of the Ten Commandments.In the statue, which is to be cast in bronze and is near completion, Satan is depicted as “Baphomet” with a goat’s head and horns, and there is a boy on his left and a girl on his...

California lawmakers personally will feel no pain from any multimillion-dollar cuts made to end this year's budget impasse: Nobody's targeting the $15 million increase for their offices. Even when state coffers are bare and legislators are fighting over funding for public services from transit to prisons, the Legislature's own budget rises, year after year -- automatically. The number of lawmakers -- 120 -- never changes, but their spending has jumped by 41 percent since 2000, a rate higher than the general fund's 32 percent increase since then. The state's average annual rate of inflation was 2.9 percent during the same...

Expensive materials hit sixth-floor work The cost of renovating the governor’s sixth-floor offices in the State Capitol more than doubled — largely because of fancier materials — during the life of a project that has attracted international comment. A review of e-mail communications, contracts, reports and other records indicates cost estimates rose by 169 percent — from $111,400 to $299,605 — for work that began two weeks after hurricanes Katrina and Rita hit the state. Costs increased partly because the Office of State Buildings hired a private company rather than using state workers. But the single costliest portion of the...

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) -- On Wednesday, the U.S. Supreme Court will consider whether a 6-foot granite monument on the grounds of the Texas state Capitol bearing the words "I am the Lord thy God" - and two similar displays at Kentucky courthouses - constitute unconstitutional government establishment of religion. Many conservatives warn that if the states lose, the ruling would force the removal of similar objects from memorials and public spaces across America. Dozens of demonstrators are expected for rallies and prayers outside the courthouse in Washington while the case is argued inside. As he strolls from the Texas Supreme...

SACRAMENTO (AP) - Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's proposals on public employee pensions, health care for the poor and school funding will get scrutiny from lawmakers this week. The Republican governor's plan to replace public employee pensions with 401(k) plans will be taken up Tuesday by a Senate budget subcommittee. On Wednesday, the Assembly Public Employees, Retirement and Social Security Committee will consider the same general subject when it looks at the condition of California's public pension systems. Also on Wednesday, an Assembly budget subcommittee will travel to an elementary school in the Sacramento suburb of Fair Oaks to take testimony on...
