Dexter Taylor Gives Fiery Statement Before
Judge Hands Down 10-Year Sentence for
Gunsmithing Hobby

Brooklyn-based software engineer Dexter Taylor was sentenced on Monday to ten years in prison for building firearms in his own home. Last month, he was convicted on 13 counts related to his building and possessing rifles and pistols. The 53-year-old New Yorker’s story has garnered increasing attention on digital, with many expressing outrage over his conviction and sentencing. Much of the anger involved Judge Abena Darkeh’s admonishment that the Second Amendment could not be mentioned by Taylor’s defense during the trial and the apparent bias shown by the court. Just before his sentencing, Taylor was allowed to make a statement addressing the court.

There is a joke about immigration: “If illegal aliens grow the economy, then the countries they left must be rich.” The reality is, however, that rather than making the country richer, illegal immigrants cost the country money. The amount of money the government spends on illegal aliens each year is “the equivalent of $500 per American man, woman, child, and retiree.”
Every day, approximately 5,000 illegal aliens enter the United States. The media claims that immigration is growing the US economy, using this argument to justify open borders and illegal immigration. However, there are several intentionally misleading points here. First, the economic growth attributed to immigration

Furious at Harry for His ‘Unofficial
Royal Visit’ to Nigeria 11 replies
Another week, another imbroglio involving the Mountbatten-Windsor Royal Family.
Just a few days ago, Prince Harry’s visit to London stirred controversy for King Charles not receiving him. Harry’s team said the King was ‘too busy’, but rumors say that Harry demanded Queen Camilla not be in the room during the meeting, leading Charles to deny him the meeting.
Now, it is reported that the Dukes of Sussex Harry and Meghan’s recent ‘unofficial royal trip’ to Nigeria left King Charles and Prince William ‘absolutely furious’.
The couple visited the African country over the weekend ‘to promote the Invictus Games’.
Iranian women are celebrating the death of Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi and dancing on his “dirty grave.”
The “Butcher of Tehran” oversaw a brutal crackdown on the protests in 2022 that rose against the Islamic “morality police.”
As reported earlier, a helicopter carrying Iranian President and mass murderer Ebrahim Raisi crashed while visiting a northern region.
The Iranian state reported Raisi’s death.
Raisi oversaw a brutal crackdown on the Iranian people protesting following the murder of 22-year-old Iranian woman Mahsa Amini by regime thugs.
Amini died from injuries sustained at the hands of police after her arrest for the “improper” wearing of a hijab.
Star Wars may exist in a celestial array outside the seen world, but its wokeness is lighting America's entertainment universe. For proof, look no further than one of its recent path-paving kids' cartoons.

Across a galaxy far, far away, a spectacular span of cultural space has been traversed; perhaps the trip was aided by lightspeed. In the late '70s, the sci-fi behemoth blasted off via a story as traditional as it gets -- three men set out to rescue a beautiful princess from the clutches of a sinister warlord. With the help of two robots and a towering dog-man, they defeat evil. It was an old-fashioned fairy tale,
It's not quite time for closing arguments in the New York-based criminal case against Donald Trump, but the crescendo is building.
On Monday, disgraced felon Michael Cohen retook the stand as he continued to serve as the prosecution's star witness. The problem? Cohen is a proven liar and total s*****g, and Trump's legal team got him to admit that on the stand in no uncertain terms.
In a moment that set the internet on fire, Cohen admitted to stealing tens of thousands of dollars from the Trump organization. [Tweets]

The Left’s Funny Definition of Fascism

According to weirdos, Donald Trump’s likely return to the White House will usher in an age of fascism unprecedented in American history, which is odd since a Trump presidency was recently precedent in American history, and that interregnum of constitutional governance brought us our only respite from nascent fascism – as defined by people who know what fascism is – in the last fifteen years or so. We heard this in 2016, too, and in 2020 as well. Hysterical warnings about Trumpussolini are all the rage again, only they are more hysterical than before as it dawns on the left that maybe renominating a corrupt, desiccated old pervert
With the prosecution winding down in Donald Trump’s Manhattan case, we have to ask, in the immortal words of Peggy Lee: Is that all there is?
It’s become utterly apparent (if wasn’t already) that the key element of any prosecution is missing here: namely, a crime.
Yes, Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg developed a totally novel legal theory by which 34 misdemeanor counts of business-records falsification, though past the statute of limitations, could be converted into felony charges because they were — allegedly — in the service of covering up another crime.
But Bragg’s team forgot to offer any evidence that the records were falsified.
First lady and fake “doctor” Jill Biden ludicrously claimed Saturday that former President Donald Trump will destroy the public education system if reelected to office.
Speaking at the United Federation of Teachers’ annual spring conference, she argued instead that her husband, President Joe Biden, is the one who’ll bless public education.
“I always believed that Joe would be the best education president,” she said, according to the New York Post.
Uh huh … [Tweet]
Trump, on the other hand, “wakes up every morning caring about one person — and one person only — himself,” she added.
“Donald Trump doesn’t want to strengthen our public education system — he wants to destroy it,”
A new study has found that people who’ve undergone transgender surgery boast a much higher risk of committing suicide.
Published last month in Cureus, a medical science journal, the study specifically found that “[g]ender-affirming surgery is significantly associated with elevated suicide attempt risks.”
The researchers reached this conclusion by analyzing the healthcare data of 90 million adults aged 18 to 60. They specifically looked at emergency room treatment data for those who’d undergone transgender surgery.
The patients were divided into four groups — one containing people who’d undergone transgender surgery and an E.R. visit, and one containing people who’d undergone no transgender surgery but who had partaken in an E.R. visit.
When Georgia parents Corey and Diana Sullivan took their three-month-old daughter, Amelia, to the hospital, they had no idea that within 24 hours, their children would be removed from their home due to false allegations of child abuse. Diana spoke with RedState about the family and their ongoing fight to get their children back.
Corey and Diana met in middle school and married at 21, then spent 16 years trying to have children. Through in vitro fertilization (IVF), they finally succeeded, welcoming (now) four-year-old Arabella and eleven-month-old twins Amelia and Christian. "We were elated to find out that we were having twins," the mother recalled.
President Trump just can’t stop winning, as the many indictments levied against him by his political opponents continue to earn him billions of dollars worth of press coverage. In fact, these indictments and the resulting media storm are doing a better job of convincing doubters of the authenticity of his agenda than President Trump and his team could likely do on their own!
Suburban moderates and independents, the type of gilded voters most likely to be offended by Trump’s rhetorical bombast or otherwise buy into the anti-Trump propaganda blitz, are seeing a sort of coordinated, repellent injustice against Trump previously unfathomable within their narrow worldview.

I’m glad my kids are too young to realize just how stupid most of the people who lead our government are. I’d like them to be realists about idiots rising in power, but at 6 and 5 it’s a little too soon for that, let childhood bloom.

Pope Francis denounced efforts to limit migration at the U.S.-Mexico border on Sunday, calling out a Texas effort to shut down a Catholic charity “madness.”
The Catholic leader said in a “60 Minutes” interview with Norah O’Donnell that American leaders should instead embrace forgiveness toward migrants entering the country. “Migration is something that makes a country grow,” he said. “They say that you Irish migrated and brought the whiskey, and that the Italians migrated and brought the mafia. Migrants sometimes suffer a lot. They suffer a lot.”

President Joe Biden sharpened his racially-charged attack on former President Donald Trump during Sunday night's annual NAACP Detroit Branch Freedom Fund dinner.
'What do you think he would have done on January 6 if black Americans had stormed the Capitol?' Biden asked - as members of the crowd collectively gasped.
The president then added, 'No, I'm serious. What do you think? I can only imagine,' as Trump has long promised to pardon those involved in the 2021 Capitol attack if he's elected to a second term in November.

President Joe Biden delivered a bleak commencement address this weekend, characterizing America as a racist place that does not love black people.
Biden gave a commencement speech at Morehouse College in Atlanta on Sunday where he appeared to characterize America in the harshest light in terms of race relations. “You started college just as George Floyd was murdered,” Biden proclaimed. “And there was a reckoning on race. It’s natural to wonder if the democracy you hear about actually works for you.”
Self-described “Catholic” and “Republican” senate candidate Larry Hogan is advocating for “restoring Roe v. Wade as the law of the land.”
Hogan previously served as the governor of Maryland.
“As governor, I protected the rights of Maryland women to make their own reproductive health decisions. I will do the same in the Senate by restoring Roe v. Wade as the law of the land. No one should come between a woman and her doctor,” Hogan wrote in a post on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter.

their food stamps -- and they're not buying broccoli 22 replies
An alarming study has spotlighted how 42 million food stamp recipients spend their welfare handouts on ultra-processed junk food.
Coca-Cola, Sprite and other soft drinks are the most commonly-bought items via the $135 billion-a-year Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), a new study says.
Candy, potato chips, frozen pizza, ice cream, cookies, and other ultra-processed food dominates the top 20 items, says a report from the Economic Policy Innovation Center (EPIC).
Report author Matthew Dickerson says recipients spend 'spend significant portions of their allotments on junk food.'
Officials are pointing the finger at climate change as a Texas town battles with another spring of exploding mosquito populations.
"If you open the car door to go somewhere, you’ve got 10 mosquitoes inside," Mith Varley, a resident of the Houston suburb of Conroe, Texas, said of the issue, according to a report in the Washington Post.
Varley, who has lived in the area of Montgomery County for nearly 10 years, told the Washington Post he has never seen it worse. While the area of Texas has always been known as an ideal mosquito habitat,
Iranian president Ebrahim Raisi was pictured moments before the helicopter crash near the border with Azerbaijan which put his ‘life at risk’.
He was seen staring out of the window of the aircraft, which was traveling in Iran's East Azerbaijan province near Jolfa, around 375 miles northwest of Tehran when it crashed.
There have been conflicting reports among Iranian state media about whether the helicopter has been found following a frantic search mission.

The president is still missing hours after the crash and there is no confirmation they are close to finding Raisi.
The president didn't use Trump or the GOP's name as he addressed graduating seniors from Morehouse College in Atlanta, Georgia, but it was clear who he was talking about as he brought up January 6 amid their commencement ceremony.
'Insurrectionists who stormed the capitol with Confederate flags are called patriots by some,' Biden told the seniors, graduating from the historically black, all-male institution. 'Not in my house.'
Trump often refers to his supporters who ramsacked the Capitol by that term.
'Black police officers, black veterans, protecting the Capitol were called another word as you recall,' Biden continued.
The president added that 'extremists close the doors of opportunity.'
The White House refused to confirm or deny Monday whether President Joe Biden intends to use performance-enhancing drugs in preparation for the presidential debates.
Former President Donald Trump believes Biden should receive a drug test before the debates. “I don’t want him coming in like the State of the Union,” Trump told Republicans during a speech in Minnesota on Friday. “He was high as a kite. I said, ‘Is that Joe up there, that beautiful room? And by the end of the evening, he’s like” — Trump made a guttural sound — “He was exhausted, right? No, we’re going to demand a drug test.”

Joe Biden on Sunday evening pandered to black voters at the annual NAACP Freedom Fund dinner in Detroit, Michigan.
Joe “you ain’t black” Biden is losing support among black voters so he spent the last several days traveling to key swing states lying to blacks.
Meanwhile, President Trump has more than doubled his support among black voters. ( X Video) As usual, Biden’s speech was full of lies and gaffes.“Because of your vote, it’s the only reason I’m standing here as President of the United States of America,” Biden said.
Biden told the crowd of blacks one of his favorite lies: “I got involved in civil rights when I was 15!”
President Joe Biden's motorcade drove through deep blue Atlanta this weekend to little fanfare, leading many to wonder about the enthusiasm for his 2024 campaign.
In 2020, the president became the first Democrat to win a presidential election in Georgia in 30 years. The party also won both senate seats in the Southern state.
But the state's landscape has shifted significantly over the last four years, with recent polls suggesting former president Donald Trump is in the lead in the Peach State.
