WASHINGTON D.C. - President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris will announce executive gun control on Thursday and it will include $153 million in funding for states to adopt and implement red flag laws.

The Department of Justice is announcing over $135 million in formula awards to 48 states under the Byrne State Crisis Intervention Program (Byrne SCIP), which provides funding for the implementation of extreme risk protection order, or “red flag”, programs, state crisis intervention court proceedings, and related programs/initiatives.

The White House did not say whether Biden or Harris plan to point out red flag laws have failed to end mass killing and mass public attacks in the state’s that adopt them.

For example, California adopted a red flag law in 2016, yet the state led the nation in “active shooter incidents” in both 2021 and 2023.

Florida adopted a red flag law in the wake of the February 14, 2018, Parkland high school shooting, yet the law did not prevent an attacker from opening fire inside a Sebring, Florida, ban in January 2019, killing five people. Click here to read more.

 

WASHINGTON D.C. - A new Senate report has revealed that the U.S. Secret Service agent in charge of former President Donald Trump’s July 13th Butler, Pennsylvania, rally was aware of “credible intelligence” regarding a dire security threat, yet did not pass the information on to event planners or her supervisor.

The Wednesday report, released by the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee and Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, found that the Secret Service’s lead agent in charge of the Trump rally had stated in a security planning document that there was “no adverse intelligence” regarding Trump’s Butler rally, despite her own “prior knowledge of an unspecified threat.” Click here to read more.

 

WASHINGTON D.C. - While the Biden-Harris administration touts preliminary data published last week from a coalition of cities as evidence of reduced violent crime under its watch, a crime data expert tells Fox News Digital his analysis of crime reporting data shows violent crime is actually increasing compared to levels prior to the COVID-19 pandemic.

"Americans are safer today than when Vice President Harris and I took office," according to President Biden's office in a statement. "We can’t stop now. That’s why I will continue to urge Congress to fund 100,000 additional police officers and crime prevention and community violence intervention programs, and make commonsense gun safety reforms such as a ban on assault weapons."

The Major Cities Chiefs Association (MCCA), which has been publishing year-by-year data stats on crime in 69 major cities across America since 2014, has released a preliminary data set showing violent crime levels dropped from January to June 2023 compared to 2024 levels, with 3,124 violent crime incidents in 2024, down from 3,783 in 2023.

NASHVILLE, TN - Some of the country’s biggest liberal foundations are behind a plan to inject climate hysteria into newsrooms across the country by encouraging journalists in all fields to employ left-wing tactics and talking points when reporting on climate change.

The Climate Blueprint for Media Transformation was born out of a 2023 climate conference sponsored by the Solutions Journalism Network and Covering Climate Now. The Solutions Journalism Network is funded by a who’s-who of left-wing foundations, including the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, the Ford Foundation, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and the Hewlett Foundation. The Gates Foundation has been instrumental in the war on meat, while the Hewlett Foundation has a track record of working to influence reporters.

Their influence can be seen in the Climate Blueprint, a 14-part guide for how journalists should cover climate change. Each section of the document is written by a different journalist or activist, and covers subjects ranging from “Community Engagement” to “Climate Justice.” Click here to read more.

BOSTON, MASS - Ten of thousands of dockworkers could go on strike on Oct. 1 in a move that experts say could wreak havoc on American supply chains and reignite the rapid inflation seen in the early years of the Biden-Harris administration.

The International Longshoremen’s Association (ILA) — which represents more than 85,000 workers at three dozen U.S. ports along the East Coast and Gulf of Mexico and whose members collectively handle about half of the U.S.’ maritime imports — has threatened to go on strike for the first time since 1977 if their wage and automation protection demands are not met by the United States Maritime Alliance (USMX) — the coalition representing shipping employers. The move could cost the U.S. economy roughly $5 billion a day in trade, and would massively disrupt supply chains in a way not seen since the COVID-19 pandemic, causing rapid inflation and hiking the cost of living for everyday Americans, experts told the Daily Caller News Foundation.

XX-XY Athletics activist speaks out on ejection from NWSL match after fans threw food and beer at them

Around 20 “Save Women’s Sports” activists wearing XX-XY Athletics shirts were forcibly escorted out of a Portland Thorns match on Friday night after members of the group were struck and verbally berated by other fans during a demonstration supporting female-only sports.

Women’s sports activist Amy Sousa told OutKick that she and other XX-XY Athletics attendees filed police reports after being escorted out of the stadium.

In a Tuesday appearance on “The Faulkner Focus,” Sousa said she and others were bombarded with food, beer, flags and poles.

"This is a bit of political theater. We went with a very clear message, and our message was 'Save women's sports.' And we were forcibly removed from a women's sporting event for expressing support for the very category that makes that event possible," Sousa said on Tuesday. "Those words are really our purpose, and our purpose is to draw attention to issues that go far beyond the NWSL and impact girls in real time - in their high schools, in their junior highs and in their elementary schools. It is about professional athletics, but it is also about the girls that are facing this on their level." Click here to read more.


 

The Online Gambling Industry Has Its Eyes On Your Teenage Son

Online gambling is about to ravage many young men’s futures.

An opinion piece in the Los Angeles Times recently compared celebrities promoting online gambling sites to spokespersons for cigarette companies in the past. It’s an apt comparison, considering the tension between online betting’s glamorous persona and its frequent reality of financial debt, addiction, suicide, and devastation to marriages and families.

The global sports betting market is worth over $120 billion. Prediction markets, which allow the average citizen to place bets on the outcome of everyday events, are on track to reach an astounding $1 trillion in volume by 2030.

Many bettors, however, fail to recognize that this isn’t a lucrative, skill-based path toward financial freedom; it is, instead, risky and dependent on chance. Click here to read more.

Feds Raid Beverly Hills Mansion In Connection To Disgraced Dem Eric Swalwell

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) raided a mansion in Beverly Hills, California, Tuesday in connection with an investigation into former Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell, a law enforcement source told the Daily Caller.

The latest raid is part of the FBI’s ongoing criminal investigation into the disgraced congressman. The FBI previously stopped Swalwell at San Francisco International Airport and executed search warrants at his Washington, D.C., home, seizing several personal electronics.

Arrests, Prosecutions and Deportations Fuel Record Drop in Crime

The U.S. has been running a real-time experiment on two approaches to criminal justice: the Biden-era emphasis on social justice versus the Trump administration’s embrace of traditional law and order. The results are now in.

The Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) reported this morning that felony violent crime fell 25% in 2025. Rape declined 13%, robbery fell 27%, and aggravated assault dropped 31%. Property crime fell 19%. Except for rape, these are the largest one-year reductions recorded since data collection began 53 years ago.

The reductions followed substantial increases during the previous four years, when felony violent crime rose 59% and violent crime, including misdemeanor simple assault, increased 42%. Click here to read more.

 

The Hydrogen Economy Was Promised Billions. What Happened?

Washington promised billions trying to build a hydrogen economy, expecting new jobs, lower emissions and a major new source of American energy. But a new RealClearInvestigations report by James Varney finds that hydrogen remains expensive, low-emission production is still limited, and major federally backed projects have been paused.

On The Miller Report: Real Clear Journalism, Maggie Miller speaks with Varney about what taxpayers have to show for the investment, whether Washington tried to scale hydrogen too quickly, and whether hydrogen has become a viable market without billions more in government support. Varney’s full investigation can be found here.

Ann Arbor pours millions into 262-home neighborhood to go ‘carbon neutral’

The city of Ann Arbor has set a goal to have the first neighborhood in the country to be carbon neutral, meaning the neighborhood won’t produce in aggregate greenhouse gas emissions.

Ann Arbor is committing millions of dollars in federal, state and local tax funding to transform its Bryant neighborhood. City officials hope it will become one of the nation’s first carbon-neutral neighborhoods.

The Bryant neighborhood sits in a floodplain bordered by a landfill and I-94.

Public funding includes nearly $10.8 million from the U.S. Department of Energy for geothermal heating and cooling, a $3.1 million Michigan grant to improve 50 homes, and a separate $5 million state award supporting a solar power pilot and the city’s Sustainable Energy Utility. Local property taxes will fund neighborhood outreach. Click here to read more.


 

The Anti-Capitalist System Keeping Americans From Reading Books

“In 1939,” writes Ned Rust for Bhaskar Sunkara’s socialist magazine, “the 25¢ paperback made America a nation of readers, delivering thrillers, classics, and Pulitzer-winning books. So why did the Big Five publishers just kill the mass market paperback?”

Just last year, the Big Five publishing houses (Penguin Random House, Macmillan, HarperCollins, Hachette, and Simon & Schuster) collectively ended mass-market paperback distribution, a compact book format popularized in 1939 that dominated the literary market in the 20th century. At their peak, writes Rust, these books sold close to “one hundred thousand units each, with a population a little over a third the size of today’s United States.” Today, however, Rust continues, “corporate consolidation” has “enshittified the product to the point where it has abetted the decline in consumer demand.” Click here to read more.

UC Berkeley Professor Abandons Grading Students’ Homework Due to Overuse of AI

A UC Berkeley professor has reportedly abandoned grading assignments after noticing that his students have been abusing AI to secure top scores.

“Student use of AI for homework is now widespread,” Richard Borcherds told the California Post. “Grading for correctness just adds a huge incentive for them to use AI for homework instead of doing it themselves, and penalizes students for honesty.”

Borcherds — a renowned mathematician who received the prestigious Fields Medal in 1998 — added that there is “no point” in paying to have students’ work evaluated for artificial intelligence, calling it a waste of time and money. Click here to read more.

 

Not even 19% of CTU spending in 2026 went to teacher representation

The Chicago Teachers Union’s recent federal filing shows it does not prioritize its members in its spending.

The union just filed its annual LM-2, which details its receipts and disbursements from its 2026 fiscal year. What it reveals:

  • Less than 19% of CTU’s spending was on “representational activities.”

  • CTU spent more running its internal operations than on representing teachers.

  • CTU spent nearly $2.6 million on politics.

  • Stacy Davis Gates gave herself a 7.5% raise, bringing her total compensation to more than $310,000. (That includes her pay from the Illinois Federation of Teachers, where she also is president.)

  • More than 50 CTU employees made over $100,000.

With CTU members paying more than $1,500 a year in union dues, they may question whether they are getting a good return on their money. Click here to read more.

 

Armed Citizens Stopped 36.6 Percent of ‘Active Shooter Incidents’ From 2014 Through 2025

A report by Crime Prevention Research Center (CPRC) president John Lott shows armed citizens stopped a third of all “active shooter incidents” from 2014 through 2025.

Lott then presented the CPRC data as a correction to FBI reports which claim armed citizens only topped 3.9 percent of the incidents.

He noted that during his time in the Department of Justice during President Trump’s first term, his duties “included evaluating the FBI’s active-shooter reports.” In so doing, he “discovered that the reports omitted or misclassified numerous cases in which armed civilians stopped attacks.” Click here to read more.

Prop 2 could face same constitutional problem that sank 2016 ballot-speech law

When the Michigan government tried in 2016 to restrict what school districts could say about local ballot questions, a federal district court granted a preliminary injunction that described the idea as “unconstitutionally vague.”

If voters pass Prop 2 on Nov. 3, the ballot proposal could face the same fate because of vague, undefined rules.

The vagueness doctrine requires that laws be written clearly so ordinary people can understand what they mean, as a shield against arbitrary or discriminatory enforcement. The doctrine is derived from the due process clause of the Fifth and 14th amendments, according to Cornell Law School. Click here to read more.


 

Michigan woman with no internet credited with MORE ActBlue donations — including 65 in one day!

An 88-year-old Michigan woman previously linked to thousands of questionable ActBlue donations was credited with hundreds of additional contributions, including four recorded on a day when she demonstrably had no internet access.

Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter Charlie LeDuff reported Wednesday that federal campaign finance records attributed another 562 transactions totaling nearly $4,500 to Elizabeth Waffle over six weeks.

Four of those transactions, totaling $22, were recorded on the day LeDuff first visited Waffle at her rural Michigan trailer, where she had no electricity, running water or internet access.

During the initial visit, LeDuff and Waffle attempted to make an online donation but could not connect to the internet, according to their follow-up interview. Click here to read more.

Deleting Evidence? Ilhan Omar Scrubs Post That Links Marriage To Her Immediate Family

Embattled Minnesota congresswoman Ilhan Omar scrubbed a post from her social media that identifies her father, a key piece of evidence tpwards the claim that she married her brother.

Omar deleted a 2013 post that said, “Happy Father’s Day to my aabo Nur Said, I am forever grateful to Allah for giving me the best father,” according to the New York Post. “Aabo” is the word for father in Somali, Omar’s native language.

The post shows that her father’s name closely matches the name of her ex-husband, Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, who is alleged to be related to Omar. Federal investigators say that Omar’s real name is, in fact, Ilhan Nur Said Elmi. Click here to rea
