Danger for American Gunmakers Emerges in $10 Billion Lawsuit From Mexico Blaming U.S. Guns for Violence South of the Border

A federal appeals court is weighing whether American gunmakers can be held liable for violence perpetrated south of the U.S. border, presenting a new threat to the domestic gun industry and raising questions over whether a law protecting manufacturers applies to complaints from foreign countries.

Mexico is suing several gunmakers, including Smith & Wesson, claiming that the companies designed weapons they knew could be easily modified by cartels to use for gun violence. Defendants say they have immunity, according to a federal law that protects manufacturers from legal responsibility for gun violence. Federal law and legal precedent limiting foreign lawsuits against American firms also pose a hurdle for Mexico’s case.

Robert Kennedy’s Jnr remarkable foreign policy speech

I HAVE been meaning, ever since I watched this a month ago, to broadcast far and wide Robert Kennedy Jr’s remarkable foreign policy speech given in New Hampshire. I have been hampered by my failure to find or get a transcript of it to print at the same time, so my ‘instruction’ to readers is please listen carefully! In fact it is so compelling no instruction is needed.

Both the delivery and content are riveting. Within minutes you forget his ‘spasmodic dysphonia’ speech problem – interestingly, much less pronounced here than when he is interviewed. Most important is that, so unusually for a politician, he comes across as authentic.

I am keeping an eye out for the damage he is inflicting on Old Joe’s run.

US Energy Secretary secretly consulted top Communist China energy official before Strategic Petroleum Reserve releases

Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm engaged in multiple conversations with the Chinese government’s top energy official days before the Biden administration announced it would tap the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) to combat high gas prices in 2021.

Granholm’s previously-undisclosed talks with China National Energy Administration Chairman Zhang Jianhua — revealed in internal Energy Department calendars obtained by Americans for Public Trust (APT) and shared with Fox News Digital — reveal that the Biden administration likely discussed its plans to release oil from the SPR with China before its public announcement.

“Secretary Granholm’s multiple closed-door meetings with a CCP-connected energy official raise serious questions about the level of Chinese influence on the Biden administration’s energy agenda,” APT Executive Director Caitlin Sutherland told Fox News Digital.

Media ignores Muslim killing of gay man because it doesn’t fit narrative

It is worth pausing over every murder that goes on in this city. But a brutal killing this week deserves special attention.

Not least because it tells us something it appears we don’t want to know.

O’Shae Sibley was a talented 28-year-old dancer and choreographer.

He was stabbed to death last Saturday night at a gas station in Brooklyn.

2 US Navy sailors Jinchao Wei and Wenheng Zhao arrested on espionage charges tied to national security and China

SAN DIEGO (AP) — Two U.S. Navy sailors have been arrested and accused of providing sensitive military information to China — including details on wartime exercises, naval operations and critical technical material, federal officials said Thursday.

The two sailors, both based in California, were charged with similar moves to provide sensitive intelligence to the Chinese. But they were separate cases, and it wasn’t clear if the two were courted or paid by the same Chinese intelligence officer as part of a larger scheme. Federal officials at a news conference in San Diego declined to specify whether the sailors were aware of each other’s actions.

Fresno Lab: China’s Operation to Exterminate Americans

Prestige BioTech, a Nevada company fronting for parties in China, was caught operating an “unlicensed laboratory” in Reedley, California in March. State and Fresno County officers raided the facility, and the FBI and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have since been participating in the investigation.

The illegal operation housed white lab mice—773 live and more than 175 dead—that were genetically engineered to carry disease. Authorities also found medical waste and chemical, viral, and biological agents. There were on site at least 20 potentially infectious pathogens including those causing coronavirus, HIV, hepatitis, and herpes.

The lab is “mysterious,” as the California Globe news site proclaimed. We know enough, however, to be alarmed.

The Opening of a Religious Charter School Is Not Christian Nationalism

“Something deeply un-American is underway in the state of Oklahoma,” writes Rachel Laser, president of Americans United for Separation of Church and State, in the New York Times. Mourning — and suing to prevent — the opening of a religious charter school in Tulsa, she decries that “Christian nationalist groups see charter schools as fertile ground for their full-on assault on the separation of church and state in public education.”

There Is Another Kennedy on the Horizon…

Why is the Biden administration refusing RFK Jr. Secret Service protection?

WASHINGTON — What has happened to the Democratic Party? Its elites have only one old codger running for the highest office in the land. The Republicans have at least a dozen, and one of them has held the presidency once already. He is Donald Trump, and some polls have him ahead of the old codger. By the way, the codger is really old. He is 80, and after him there is only Vice President Kamala Harris. All indications are that she is too young to be president.

NYC’s Roosevelt Hotel becomes epicenter of city’s 60,000-strong refugee crisis in shocking scenes from Manhattan

Hundreds of migrants have been sleeping outside of Manhattan’s Roosevelt Hotel for a second day in a row – as NYC Mayor Eric Adams said the crisis is ‘not over.’

Swathes of asylum seekers, hailing from a number of South American and African countries, lined the streets sleeping on cardboard overnight because the migrant hotel has reached capacity.

California Officials Close Down Bootleg Chinese Lab Brimming with Infectious Agents Such as Covid, HIV

In addition to the pathogens, investigators found hundreds of chemicals, a thousand mice — many of them dead — and bootleg Covid and pregnancy tests. apparently developed on site.

Health authorities in California are scrambling to reassure the public in the San Joaquin Valley after an illegal, Chinese-owned biotech lab storing dangerous pathogens such as Covid, HIV, herpes, and malaria in haphazard and unsafe conditions was raided and shut down.

Officials in Reedley, California, about 200 miles north of Los Angeles in the state’s central valley, discovered the facility in April after an inspector noticed a suspicious garden hose protruding from the wall of the nondescript warehouse. Only recently, however, did testing from the Centers for Disease Control confirm the hazardous nature of the material found.
