‘My security detail sent me home with a bulletproof vest
Supreme Court Associate Justice Amy Coney Barrett recounted the threats against her life after the leak of the Dobbs decision during a Tuesday hearing. The Supreme Court asked Congress to provide an additional $14.6 million for security in the fiscal year 2027 Financial Services and General Government (FSGG) funding bill. During a House Appropriations FSGG Committee hearing, Barrett described being sent home in a bullet proof vest after the decision in Dobbs v. Women’s Health Organization was leaked in May 2022. “They have required me [and] my children to think about and see things that children should not have to see or think about,” Barrett said. “One example is when threats to my life were particularly intense a few years ago…Open
‘governor that’s in their corner’
A leading Democratic Wisconsin gubernatorial candidate claimed hospitals are “cowardly” to not provide sex changes to minors with public funds. Socialist State Assemblywoman Francesca Hong reiterated her support for sex change drugs and surgeries for minors during a “Community Conversations” livestream hosted with Brix Cider on Sunday, Breitbart News reported . She vowed to immediately veto any legislation she considered an attack on the “trans community.” “This attack on our trans kids, especially, you know, to see what’s happening with health care — gender-affirming care that is health care — coming down from our hospitals. It’s cowardly what’s happening, and it’s important that elected officials and folks with…Open
New York Democrat Governor Kathy Hochul signed an executive order Tuesday morning putting a ban on the state’s construction of any new large data centers. The order, which will block construction on these centers for up to one year, makes New York the first state to impose a data center moratorium. Hochul claims the pause is to give lawmakers time to create framework to protect the environment, according to CBS New York. The order will temporarily ban the construction of data centers that use 50 megawatts of power or more. During that time the state is to create regulatory framework for assessing how data center projects affect the environment, according to UPI. Hochul’s office did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News…Open

‘Everyone is welcome’
Self-proclaimed “governor for all” Democrat Iowa gubernatorial candidate Rob Sand held a town hall where his staffer turned away a Republican trying to enter. A video taken at a town hall that appears to have occurred last week shows one of Sand’s staffers turning away a videographer because she worked for Adam Steen, a former Republican candidate for governor. In the video, the staffer—who also appears in a Sand campaign ad—tells the videographer that it is their policy not to allow anyone who works for opposing candidates into the town hall. Notably, Sand has tried to position himself as a political moderate, running on a platform centered around his signature slogan “better and truer, not redder or bluer,” and presenting…Open
‘The policy change will have significant impacts’
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents were reportedly ordered to stop pulling vehicles over in most cases on July 14 after two fatal shootings occurred during vehicle stops. The Daily Wire first reported the move, citing three Homeland Security sources.

A new climate-related metric advanced by a company linked to private equity firms is quietly subverting the U.S. housing market, a new report claims. Major online real estate platforms such as Zillow, Relator.com, Homes.com and Redfin all have featured predictive climate-risk scores, according to a July report from the American Energy Institute and Consumers’ Research first shared with the Daily Caller News Foundation. The scores, developed by private company First Street, can often directly contrast with the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) official flood maps and determinations. “For most American families, a home is their single largest financial asset and the primary vehicle for building generational wealth,”…Open
One of the most damnable lies in humanity
Before beginning our eastern Mediterranean cruise last month, our family spent a few days exploring Venice, Italy, one of history’s most magnificent cities. Imagine deciding to build a full-on medieval city in a swamp on top of wooden stakes driven into the waterbed, then turning it into the most consequential and powerful Republic in southern Europe for more than a thousand years, and you might begin to understand just how remarkable the people in that era, and that area, were. We stood in St. Mark’s Square (Piazza San Marco), where Holy Roman Emperor Frederick I Barbarossa bent the knee to Pope Alexander III to end a long-running conflict between the papacy and the empire in 1177 AD, where the Doge, an elected official who served for…Open
