Josh Hawley Torches Merrick Garland Over FBI’s ‘Unbelievable Show of Force’ Against Pro-Life Family
Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) blasted Attorney General Merrick Garland over the FBI’s outrageous arrest of a Catholic pro-life father during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on Wednesday.
Mark Houck, an author and sidewalk counselor, was found not guilty in January of federal charges alleging he violated the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act. The law makes it a federal crime to use physical force with the intent to injure, intimidate and interfere with anyone obtaining or providing abortion services.
Federal officials had falsely claimed Houck had assaulted an “abortion escort” while blocking the abortion facility. Video of the altercation showed that the father and son were not blocking the clinic and did not initiate the altercation. Rather, the father had reacted to the abortion worker’s aggressive behavior toward his son, pushing him back when he got too close.

Columbus, Ohio sets July 1st deadline for owners of “large capacity” magazines
Officials in Columbus, Ohio are doubling down on their attack on the state’s firearm preemption law by amending an already-challenged local ordinance barring the sale and possession of “large capacity” magazines to mandate that current owners either dispose of them, permanently modify them, or hand them over to police by July 1st.

Joe Biden’s “9,000 unused drilling permits” lie
by JAZZ SHAW
This is a story that most of you are familiar with by now. Ever since taking office, Joe Biden has received complaints about the high price of gasoline and other fuels as well as the slow collapse of America’s energy grid. Critics point to Biden’s own policies, specifically the cancellation of the Keystone XL pipeline and his failure to issue any more drilling permits beyond the bare minimum mandated by law. (And he’s missed some of those targets as well.) In response, Biden points the finger of blame at the oil and gas industry, claiming that the oil companies are “sitting on 9,000 unused drilling permits.” This claim has been repeated endlessly by Biden’s loyal stenographers in the legacy media. But as it turns out, that claim was incorrect. In fact, the number he’s been citing isn’t even close to being correct. (Free Beacon)
In his quest to shift blame for rising gas prices, President Joe Biden accused oil companies of “sitting on nearly 9,000 unused but approved” drilling permits. Now, his own administration is acknowledging that’s wrong.

This just in from Laura Dodsworth at the Brownstone Institute; masks worked, but not in the way you think. Excerpt:
It’s not true that mask mandates did nothing. Yes, it is true they did nothing to halt the transmission of Covid, but the mask mandates damaged us all.
The imposition of masks without evidence was an appalling step for supposedly enlightened and democratic countries. Health professionals lied and have now lost our trust. Politicians lied too, although that was less surprising.

How Matt Walsh exemplified the Freedom Center’s longstanding strategy.
It’s a tragic statement about the decline of the West that such a thing as a “TikTok influencer” even exists, but transgender actor Dylan Mulvaney, 26, has successfully ridden that train to the notoriety he so clearly craves, with over ten million online followers. His video series titled Days of Girlhood, in which he flounces about in a parody of girlishness so inauthentic that no one would ever mistake it for true femininity, has garnered over a billion views – another sad commentary on our civilization. He has even been invited to the White House for a sit-down interview with alleged President Joe Biden.
Recently Mulvaney posted a video, “Day 335” in his series, in which he flaunted a creepy look featuring heels, a short dress, bright red lipstick, and hair extensions that he couldn’t stop playing with. He declared that he looked so “hot” that he could steal husbands, but reassured his female audience that he would never do that to them because sisterhood or something.
