Has the US Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals taken notice? Congress is working to include Second Amendment protections in Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill.

MacDonald: UK Grooming Gangs, Sort of, Yeah, Well, I Guess – Maybe

Thu, 2025-06-19 11:00 +0000
One of the fun things about the political establishment and its influencers in the press is that sometimes the weight or momentum of something becomes so tremendous that they have to acknowledge it.
