AP Photo/Brennan Linsley, File There’s an old saying about how there’s nothing so permanent as a temporary government program. I’m not sure I agree with that. After all, laws that violate the Second Amendment don’t really seem to go much of anywhere, either.
Oh, it happens at the state level, but when you consider the mindboggling number of gun laws in this country, there really aren’t many that seem to go away.
At the federal level, even suggesting the repeal of a gun control law is treated as heresy, even by some who consider themselves pro-gun.
Luckily, there’s an option. While legislatures don’t want to remove gun control laws that are on the books, there’s another branch of the government that is willing to do so . The trio of cases are part of a wide-ranging legal campaign by gun ownership advocates who have headed to the federal courts over the past several years with constitutional challenges that target state gun regulations from a variety of angles. Emboldened by a 2008 U.S. Supreme Court decision that said the Second Amendment allowed an individual right to possess firearms for self-defense and other purposes, and a federal court that since 2016 has been seeded with a new batch of judges who generally favor an expansive reading of gun rights, the lawsuits seek to lock in broader gun-ownership rights. With some of the strictest gun-control laws in the country, California has become a focus of these legal battles. And while lawsuits have been filed in each of the state’s four federal court districts, San Diego has become a major front in the legal battle. Targeting state laws
No fewer than six lawsuits taking on everything from assault-style weapons to the number of guns that can be purchased in a single 30-day period have been filed in San Diego federal court. The plaintiffs include individuals, many of them members of the San Diego County Gun Owners group, as well as leading advocacy groups such as the Second Amendment Foundation and the Firearms Policy Coalition. In addition to the three cases Benitez has already ruled on, three […]

Will America-First News Outlets Make it to 2023?
Things are looking grim for conservative and populist news sites.
There’s something happening behind the scenes at several popular conservative news outlets. 2021 was bad, but 2022 is proving to be disastrous for news sites that aren’t “playing ball” with the corporate media narrative. It’s being said that advertisers are cracking down, forcing some of the biggest ad networks like Google and Yahoo to pull their inventory from conservative outlets. This has had two major effects. First, it has cooled most conservative outlets from discussing “taboo” topics like Pandemic Panic Theater, voter fraud, or The Great Reset. Second, it has isolated those ad networks that aren’t playing ball.
Certain topics are anathema for most ad networks. Speaking out against vaccines or vaccine mandates is a certain path to being demonetized. Highlighting voter fraud in the 2020 and future elections is another instant advertising death penalty. Throw in truthful stories about climate change hysteria, Critical Race Theory, and the border crisis and it’s easy to understand how difficult it is for America-First news outlets to spread the facts, share conservative opinions, and still pay the bills.
Without naming names, I have been told of several news outlets who have been forced to either consolidate with larger organizations or who have backed down on covering certain topics out of fear of being “canceled” by the ad networks. I get it. This is a business for many of us and it’s not very profitable. Those of us who do this for a living are often barely squeaking by, so loss of additional revenue can often mean being forced to make cuts. That means not being able to cover the topics properly. Its a Catch-22: Tell the truth and lose the money necessary to keep telling the truth, or avoid the truth and make enough money to survive. Those who have chosen survival simply aren’t able to spread the truth properly.
We will never avoid the truth. The Lord will provide if it is His will. Our job is simply to share the facts, spread the Gospel, and educate as many Americans as possible while exposing the forces of evil.
To those who have the means, we ask that you please donate. We have options available now, but there is no telling when those options will cancel us. We have our GivingFuel page. There have been many who have been canceled by PayPal, but for now it’s still an option. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
