A hundred-year-old law designed to strengthen the United States is serving to weaken it.
The waiver of the Jones Act — passed in 1920 — by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) on Wednesday proves the point. DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas stated:

House Representative Chip Roy (R-Texas) did the unthinkable on Tuesday: He called out Representative Elise Stefanik’s (R-N.Y.) ghastly voting record:
We are falling prey to the high drama of swamp politics — the art of shuffling around the deck chairs [while ignoring the] large iceberg in front of our country….
Let us contemplate the message Republican leadership is about to send by rushing to coronate a spokesperson whose voting record embodies much of what led to the 2018 [shellacking] we received by Democrats….
We must avoid putting in charge Republicans who campaign as Republicans but then vote for and advance the Democrats’ agenda once sworn in.
Roy proceeded to list Stefanik’s specific positions and votes on key issues, including:

The phrase “Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned,” attributed to English playwright William Congreve in The Mourning Bride, applies to Representative Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.). Formerly third in command of the Republican Party in the House and head of the party’s conference, she is soon to be the former Representative from Wyoming.
She saw it coming. Once the No.1 and No. 2 powers-that-be — House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) and House Minority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.) — pulled their support, it was all over but the voting.
The voting took place early Wednesday morning, and Cheney is gone.
But she isn’t leaving quietly. On Tuesday night, to a nearly empty House chamber, she claimed that Donald Trump poses an existential threat to the Republic:

One of President Donald Trump’s appointments to the federal court ruled that another of the anti-gun Left’s attempts to abrogate the Second Amendment has failed. In an obscure but vitally important ruling, U.S. District Judge Susan Brnovich tossed a lawsuit brought by the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence.
The decision — Travieso v. Glock Inc. — is one in a long line of cases over similar lawsuits meant to bankrupt the American gun-manufacturing industry. And it squarely upholds a federal law designed to prevent just this sort of frivolous lawsuit from succeeding.
In March 2018, Carlos Travieso was shot in the back with a Glock 19 while traveling home from a youth camping trip. A passenger in the vehicle discovered the semi-automatic pistol and, noting that the magazine was missing, pulled the trigger. Unfortunately, there was a round in the chamber. The bullet entered Travieso’s back, severed his spine, rendering him a paraplegic.
The Brady bunch sued Glock, claiming that

In normal times, Wall Street would greet a jobs report such as that just issued Friday morning by the Labor Department with a sharp decline in stock prices.
But these are hardly normal times. With massive government subsidies, spending, and the extension of unemployment benefits, what’s left of the free market in labor can hardly be seen. Instead of declining, stocks rose.
The Labor Department reported that

After eight hours of debate, the Texas Senate finally voted on Wednesday, 18-13, to pass a bill allowing any state resident over age 21 to carry a handgun without first having to seek government permission, unless he or she has a criminal history. The bill now goes to Republican Governor Greg Abbott, who has promised to sign it into law.
The new legislation makes Texas the 21st “constitutional carry” state, though two weeks ago, after the House passed the measure, there was serious doubt whether it would pass the Senate. During the debate, dozens of amendments were proposed, either watering down the bill or designed simply to delay the vote.
The final bill now contains more punishments for felons found with a weapon, including domestic violence offenders, and those carrying while intoxicated.
Upon learning that the Texas Senate had passed the bill, Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick celebrated:

In comments made to Fox News hosts just ahead of his interview with them on Tuesday, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) said this about Liz Cheney: “I think she’s got real problems. I’ve had it with her. You know, I’ve lost confidence.”
McCarthy expanded on Cheney’s problems when the show went live: “I have heard from [Republican] members [who are] concerned about her ability to carry out her job as conference chair, to carry out the message. We all need to be working as one if we’re able to win the majority [in 2022].”
According to Cheney, it’s all about “unity,” but only as defined by her. As The New American reported, Cheney has said:

Despite efforts by major pollsters to make their president look good, the raw numbers from RealClearPolitics are dismal for Old Joe: He is tracking a good 15 points below the average of the last 14 presidents at the end of their first 100 days in office.
During an interview with Just the News AM on Wednesday, pollster John McLaughlin (who tracked Trump’s ratings during the president’s first term) said, “the fact he is only in the low 50s right now is a really bad sign for Joe Biden.” According to ABC News, the average approval rating for the past 14 presidents polled at the end of their first 100 days is 66 percent.
The major problem Biden has is that he has lied, and lied, and lied to the American people, and they’re already sick of it. McLaughlin explained:

Liz Cheney, Wyoming’s RINO representative and surviving leader of the House Republican Conference, saw her chance and she took it. Despite claiming that all is well inside the GOP — unity, confidence, enthusiasm over the party’s prospects to retake the House in 2022, etc. — she never misses an opportunity to speak to the press or sit for an interview and indirectly bash Donald Trump and his supporters.
When asked about whether she was considering running for the presidency in 2024, she gushed: “I’m not going to rule anything in or out — ever is a long time.”
The GOP conference held in Orlando last week (close to Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate, although Cheney didn’t invite him to attend) is an annual affair, situated far from Washington, where the party regulars gather to lick their wounds and plan for their future.
This year it was all about “unity,” but Cheney made sure that that “unity” did not and would not ever (if she had her way) include Donald Trump.
Or anyone who supports him:
I do think that some of our candidates who led the charge — particularly the senators who led the unconstitutional charge not to certify the election … in my view that’s disqualifying.
For Cheney, Trump’s popularity is a mirage: “I think right now the Republican Party is headed by Mitch McConnell and Kevin McCarthy.… I think our elected leaders are the ones who are in charge of the Republican Party.”
Nothing was mentioned about her low polling numbers in Wyoming. Following her noisy vote to impeach Trump for allegedly inciting the January 6 Capitol Hill riot, her popularity in a state that voted for Donald Trump 70-30 over Biden dropped like a stone. The latest poll shows that only 10 percent of Republican voters (and 13 percent of all Wyoming voters) said they would vote to reelect her in 2022. Further, several opponents are challenging her in the state’s primary, with one of them, State Senator Anthony Bouchard, already holding a 30-point lead over Cheney.
She did it to herself, by declaring on January 12:

The College of the Ozarks, a small Christian college, has sued the Biden administration over its demand that, following an outrageous ruling by the Supreme Court, colleges must allow male and female students in the same bathrooms, dorm rooms, and dormitories.
Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) is assisting the college in its fight to retain its right to follow its religious tenets. The suit declares that the Biden administration, through its administrative agency Housing and Urban Development (HUD), now suddenly “requires private religious colleges to place biological males into female dormitories and assign them as females’ roommates.”
The president of the college, Dr. Jerry Davis, said the move is just part of the escalating attack on religious freedom in the United States: “Religious freedom is under attack in America, and we won’t stand on the sidelines and watch.”

My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell said he invested millions in frankspeech.com, his new social-networking site — a cross between Facebook and Twitter — that would be invulnerable to outside attacks. He said people would be able to create their own personal profiles and make comments.
His efforts to generate interest exceeded his fondest expectations: During the opening “Frankathon” at his website, more than 90 million people viewed it.
But, thanks to “a massive attack,” most of them weren’t able to create accounts. Lindell didn’t elaborate. Instead, on his site he explained why he spent four years and millions in building it:

When Nebraska Governor Pete Ricketts signed a proclamation on Wednesday declaring his state a “Second Amendment Sanctuary State,” he joined an increasing number of other governors pushing back against unconstitutional federal overreach at the hands of the Biden administration and the Democrat-controlled Congress.
He said:
Nebraska has always been a state that has supported our Second Amendment rights. As a symbol of that support, I am signing a proclamation declaring Nebraska a Second Amendment Sanctuary State, and, with my signature, it will become official.
He also thinks it’s enforceable against federal encroachment:

The Supreme Court got it right on Friday, April 9, when it ruled that California’s COVID shutdown rules violated both the First and the 14th Amendments to the U.S. Constitution.
But it was by the narrowest of margins: 5-4, with Chief Justice John Roberts once again siding with the liberals on the court.
This is the fifth time the high court has been forced to overrule similar decisions from the Ninth Circuit on California’s COVID-19 restrictions on religious exercise. Justices Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas, Brett Kavanaugh, Neil Gorsuch, and Amy Coney Barrett made up the majority, while Justices Roberts, Breyer, Kagan, and Sotomayor supported California over the complaints brought by Santa Clara pastor Jeremy Wong and others.
Liberal Justice Elena Kagan wrote the dissent, claiming that California was fully justified in impinging and infringing upon people’s First- and 14th Amendment-guaranteed rights because the state was relying on “experts’ scientific findings” to justify those infringements.
In his book One Vote Away, published last September, Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) made the point that Americans are just one vote away from not only losing precious rights guaranteed in the Bill of Rights but losing the Republic altogether. He used numerous close calls to illustrate and prove his point: just one vote on the Supreme Court preserves the right to speak freely, to keep and bear arms, and to exercise freedom of religion.
As we noted on Saturday, regarding Biden’s executive order establishing the Presidential Commission on the Supreme Court will explore much more than just the need to expand (read: pack) the Supreme Court:

Joe Biden’s “American Jobs Plan” — a costly boondoggle that is more grift than substance — is going nowhere, for several reasons. First, the latest study of his so-called infrastructure bill by the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM) shows that instead of increasing employment, if passed the bill would not only reduce employment but slow the economy and reduce wages as well.
It would do everything possible to slow the economy:

It took Joseph Farah, editor-in-chief of WorldNetDaily (WND), just four days after Joe Biden’s inauguration to suggest that, under certain circumstances, Donald Trump could regain the presidency as early as 2023, prior to his reelection for a full second term in 2024.
The winds of politics would have to blow in a most surprising way. But then again, Trump is perhaps the most surprising president of modern times.
According to Farah, here is how it could play out:

Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds signed into law on Good Friday the latest manifestation of the pushback against federal tyranny taking place across the land. The instant issue is “constitutional carry” — the freedom to enjoy a right without first being required to obtain governmental permission to do so — but the larger issue is this: People belonging to the Country Class are getting sick and tired of the Ruling Class and its condescension and its imposition of its tyrannical agenda.
The new state law, which becomes effective on July 1, allows Iowans to purchase a handgun from private sources without obtaining permission first, and further, to carry it on their person, also without first having to get governmental permission.
Said Reynolds:

It’s been two days since Texas Governor Greg Abbott fired off a letter to Vice President Kamala Harris, President Biden’s “Border Czar,” demanding she do something about the flood of illegals pouring into his state, and he has heard nothing back but crickets.
He called the flood a “surge”:
I write to you about the surge in illegal crossings at the U.S.-Mexico border, which continues to fuel a humanitarian crisis, particularly for unaccompanied minors.
Now that President Biden has named you Border Czar in charge of the administration’s response, I want to express to you the threats and challenges caused by this administration’s open border policies.
These policies embolden and enrich cartels, smugglers, and human traffickers who continue to ramp up their criminal operations.
In many cases, these criminals lure unaccompanied minors into inhumane conditions and expose them to abuse and terror.
Abbott uses the “editorial ‘we’” in his demand:

Details about the fourth mass shooting under the Biden administration remain sketchy, but certain facts are becoming known.
The shooter, a male, entered a building complex in Orange County around 5:30pm Wednesday evening and was able to murder four people and wound another before law-enforcement officers arrived on the scene and neutralized him.
Among the victims was “a child,” according to reports.
The other mass shootings — a mass shooting being defined as an incident in which at least four victims were shot, not including the shooter; or in which four or more victims are murdered with firearms — during the Biden administration included:

The lawsuit filed by the State of California and the Giffords Law Center last fall to force the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) to ban “ghost guns” is so filled with misstatements, half-truths, and just plain outright lies that Dean Weingarten decided to expose them.
Weingarten, a former peace officer, military officer, and certified firearms safety instructor since 1973, found so many errors of fact and false assumptions made by the plaintiffs that it’s taken him three separate analyses to cover them all.
In its 59-page brief demanding that the court require the ATF to rewrite its rules,
