The Supreme Court just rejected two incredibly important cases regarding infringements on the Second Amendment. Surprise, surprise — both cases stem from unconstitutional restrictions put in place by Democrat-led states. One is a Maryland case regarding the right of the state to ban the AR-15 style rifles altogether, and the other is a Rhode Island ban on the standard magazines for AR-15 rifles. The AR-15 is the most popular firearm in the United States.  And that — I contend — is why it’s being targeted by anti-American actors in state and federal government. You know, those pesky black guns that apparently get up and conduct mass shootings all on their own?  (FYI – mine has never once crossed that line or seemed prone to do so.  Maybe mine is just particularly well behaved for an AR-15?) Which if you don’t happen to know, is nothing more than any other rifle except for a much more modern design to the “furniture” — the external components like the grip, the stock, and the way optics attach. The only other difference is a standard 30-round magazine, allowing for easier reloading much less often. That doesn’t mean the gun is more likely to kill someone — you can still only shoot one bullet at a time, just like every gun on the planet that has a single barrel for a bullet to travel down! It just makes it an overall better DESIGN for most purposes.  (It’s not a “machinegun” as the media and political hacks like to say — though, even if it was, “shall not be infringed” would still apply. Different story for a different time.) And that is where the rubber meets the road.  If you support the Constitutional REASONING behind the Second Amendment — all of that is good news, because the tool in question works better at what it was designed to do! But for all those who like to discount FOUNDATIONAL PRINCIPLES and think purely in pragmatic terms under the assumption that their intellect can outmatched GOD’S OWN PRINCIPLES… then that’s the opposite of what they want to happen. If you want to RESTRICT the Constitutional rights of Americans based on the flawed premise that you can legislatively (or, judicially) do away with ALL EVIL by means of governmental control — except the evil conducted ‘legally’ by the State, of course — then a better functioning weapon is the last thing you want in the hands of American patriots. Which is exactly why “WE” will NEVER give them up.  Ever.  EVER. Even if, as happened today, the highest court in the land fails to do it’s job by leaving in place Second Amendment bans originally given a rubber-stamp approval from lower state courts. Obviously, the political left is having a field day with this, celebrating it as a pushback against President Trump, Republicans, and the MAGA movement in particular: BREAKING: MAGA is flipping out as the Supreme Court just refused to hear a challenge to Maryland’s assault weapons ban and Rhode Island’s law to restrict large capacity magazines. This is huge win for the future of gun laws in America. pic.twitter.com/6I64Bfyhak — Brian Krassenstein (@krassenstein) June 2, 2025 The Supreme Court’s refusal to take up these cases really leaves the Second Amendment blowing in the wind, and in danger of more infringement by anti-Second Amendment state leaders and the rogue judges willing to back them up. Though lawyers rightly argued the Supreme Court had a duty to intervene, five Justices effectively decided by means of negligence that states can infringe on the Second Amendment and get away with it, as reported by Fox News: The U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear two cases challenging separate state bans on so-called assault weapons and high-capacity magazines on Monday. The court declined to hear cases arising out of Maryland and Rhode Island relating to state regulations on AR-15-style rifles and high-capacity magazines, respectively. The cases had been submitted to the Supreme Court after lower courts upheld the bans in the face of challenges. Justices Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas and Neil Gorsuch disagreed with the majority’s decision and said they would have liked to have reviewed the cases. With respect to the Maryland ban, the Supreme Court’s decision upholds the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals’ ruling, which states that authority to ban AR-15-style rifles is consistent with the 2nd Amendment. Lawyers arguing against the ban claimed the Supreme Court had a duty to “ensure that the Second Amendment itself is not truncated into a limited right to own certain state-approved means of personal self-defense.” Though Alito, Gorsuch, and Clarence Thomas would have taken the cases up, Thomas was the only one who wrote a dissenting opinion on the majority’s decision. And he came packing both guns (see what I did right there?) in his lone written opposition to the court’s neglect. Clarence Thomas has been known as a fierce Second Amendment advocate, who actually understands the reasoning behind it. Check out this quote, originally from an older Second Amendment case, but re-quoted by Thomas — shared online in the wake of today’s shocking decision: We need more Clarence Thomas’s on the Supreme Court. pic.twitter.com/f0IoVXifOh — Alexander Duncan (@AlexDuncanTX) May 31, 2025 The argument that the Founders didn’t have AR-15’s at the time of the Revolution or when the Constitution was written is moot when it comes to understanding the meaning behind the clause. And Clarence Thomas knows it, and isn’t one to shy away from saying so. He expressly stated after today’s decision that the Second Amendment now remains a “second-class right” when compared to any other Constitutional Right, and chastised the other Justices by pointing out that they would never hesitate this long were ANY OTHER RIGHT to be infringed upon to this degree. As stated, he wrote the only dissenting opinion against the majority’s unwillingness to take up the state cases, as covered by Newsweek: Justice Clarence Thomas broke from the Supreme Court’s denial to hear a case about whether government bans of AR-15s are allowed under the Second Amendment, arguing that the Court has avoided the decision “for a full decade.” “I would not wait to decide whether the government can ban the most popular rifle in America,” Thomas wrote in the dissent published Monday. “That question is of critical importance to tens of millions of law-abiding AR–15 owners throughout the country.” The Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that AR-15s are not “arms” protected by the Second Amendment. Thomas said he would have agreed to hear the case to review this “surprising conclusion.” Justices Samuel Alito and Neil Gorsuch also would have agreed to hear the case, according to the Court’s order. Thomas argued that AR-15s fit the definition of “arms” under the Second Amendment. “AR–15s appear to fit neatly within that category of protected arms,” Thomas wrote. “Tens of millions of Americans own AR–15s, and the ‘overwhelming majority’ of them ‘do so for lawful purposes, including self-defense and target shooting.’” He called the Fourth Circuit’s reasoning “dubious at least twice over.” Thomas said that the constitutional status of AR-15s is “all the urgent” following a recent Court decision on ghost guns. The Court ruled that the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) is permitted to regulate some weapon parts kits and unfinished frames or receivers under the Gun Control Act. “On the Court’s logic, it seems that ATF could at any time declare AR–15s to be machineguns prohibited by federal law,” Thomas wrote. Thomas said this leaves AR-15 owners dependent on the “goodwill” of a federal agency to maintain a right to self-defense. “That is ‘no constitutional guarantee at all,’” Thomas said. If we had a Supreme Court full of Justices like Clarence Thomas… I dare say 99% of the attempts to infringe on ANY of the rights of Americans would be shot down as soon as humanly possible. That man knows the Second Amendment, understands the Constitution, has a firm grasp on how things like freedom, rights, limited governmental power, and a Constitutional Republic should function. I thank God for that man. There was a hint from one other Justice, who actually voted not to take up the case along with the other 4, that he might change his mind soon. BREAKING Supreme Court declines to hear cases challenging “assault weapons” bans & magazine limits. But, Justice Kavanaugh gives gun owners some hope with this statement:  “[T]his Court should and presumably will address the AR-15 issue soon, in the next Term or two.” pic.twitter.com/LXq2zPw38Z — Gun Owners of America (@GunOwners) June 2, 2025 I don’t want to excuse his lack of action on this, but Kavanaugh does seem willing to intervene once the issue plays out in the lower courts a little more. My Grandma would have said Kavanaugh is just “pussy-footing-around” with that excuse. I might be inclined to use some of the same wording to describe it myself. But he referenced more pending cases and hinted at action “soon”, as reported by CNN: One of the appeals dealt with Maryland’s ban on certain semi-automatic weapons such as AR- and AK-style rifles. The law, enacted after the deadly 2012 shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut, was challenged by David Snope, a state resident who wants to purchase those rifles for self-defense and other purposes. The Supreme Court also declined to hear a challenge to Rhode Island’s ban on high-capacity gun magazines, leaving that law in place. As is typical, the court did not explain its reasoning in denying the cases, though it has denied several high profile gun appeals over the past year. Justice Brett Kavanaugh, another member of the court’s conservative wing, noted that other cases involving AR-style rifles are pending in lower courts and said that “this court should and presumably will address the AR–15 issue soon.” (Emphasis added.) I would have preferred Kavanaugh had gone with the no-compromise approach that Clarence tends to take. But hopefully, late will be better than never. Here’s a really good video report from The Hill covering the entire situation, and giving a little more detail on both Thomas and Kavanaugh’s stance on the issue: Eventually, the Supreme Court will necessarily have to take up these cases. As Thomas expressed, there is no reason to wait, given the potential for more national disunity, Constitutional implications, and millions of AR-15 owners in America impacted by these cases. My hope is those like Kavanaugh who may be prone to side with Thomas’ accurate rending of the Second Amendment won’t wait so long that those implications turn in to a full-blown Constitutional crisis.

This is just disgusting to watch and I imagine our Founding Fathers would be sickened to see this. A man who won the 2024 election by a LANDSLIDE, with a clear mandate from the people, waging the ultimate political comeback….and instead of rallying behind him and trying to heal this country and move it forward, people like Norm Eisen are proudly boasting about having 152 open lawsuits against President Trump and being so giddy like a school-girl that you filed the first one at 12:01 on the day of his Inauguration. I don’t care which side you’re on, this just makes my skin crawl: It’s not a Judicial coup? Here’s Norm Eisen laughing about suing POTUS Trump at 12:01 on Inauguration Day. Norm brags about 152 open lawsuits against POTUS Trump. It’s a Color Revolution. It’s treasonous behavior and should be dealt with by the DOJ.pic.twitter.com/1hH1gR0c08 — C3 (@C_3C_3) May 29, 2025 FULL TRANSCRIPT: Now at CREW, we have 152 open legal matters against the Trump administration since January 20th. We filed the first one at 12:01 PM. We wanted to file the very first lawsuit—had somebody listening on their iPhone to the swearing-in and standing at the GSA to drop a complaint on them about the Trump Hotel. Uh, so, uh, uh, you know, just, uh, compelled by circumstances. And when Trump is—Trump is ejected, as I believe he will be, then, uh, I’ll help stitch up some of the damage and I’ll go back to book writing. There you go. All right, Meredith, uh, so, uh, Norm paints a pretty bleak picture about the current state of things.

Eisen is an American lawyer, former diplomat, and political operative known for his focus on government ethics, anti-corruption policy, and legal strategy related to Democratic Party interests. Background and Education Eisen was born in 1960 in Los Angeles to Eastern European Jewish immigrants. His mother was a Holocaust survivor from Czechoslovakia. He earned a B.A. from Brown University in 1985 and a J.D. from Harvard Law School in 1991. At Harvard, he was a classmate of Barack Obama. Legal and Political Work He began his legal career at Zuckerman Spaeder LLP, handling complex litigation. In 2003, he co-founded Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), a liberal watchdog group focused on attacking political opponents under the banner of government accountability. From 2009 to 2011, Eisen served as Special Counsel for Ethics and Government Reform to President Obama, where he was tasked with tightening executive branch ethics rules. His office drew criticism from some as being more about political optics than substance. Diplomatic Role In 2011, Obama appointed Eisen as U.S. Ambassador to the Czech Republic, a post he held until 2014. His tenure included anti-corruption messaging and various public relations events. Eisen often referenced his family’s Holocaust history during his time in Prague to strengthen diplomatic ties. Involvement in Trump Impeachment In 2019, Eisen served as Special Counsel to the House Judiciary Committee during the first impeachment of President Donald Trump. He played a key role in shaping the legal arguments for the Democrats. Afterward, he published a book titled A Case for the American People, which framed the impeachment in partisan terms. Books and Media Eisen has written multiple books on law, diplomacy, and political ethics, including The Last Palace, Democracy’s Defenders, and Overcoming Trumpery. He is a frequent presence in media outlets and cable news, especially as a legal commentator critical of conservative figures and policies. Recent Activity In 2025, Eisen launched a Substack called The Contrarian with journalist Jennifer Rubin, continuing his public advocacy on law, democracy, and anti-Trump rhetoric.

Mel Gibson’s appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience earlier this year set the internet on fire. Gibson, who isn’t shy about sharing his opinions, beliefs and experiences, made news talking about the cancer-fighting potential for Ivermectin. In that same interview, Gibson shared his experience with Methylene blue – an experience shared by Joe Rogan: One of the other drugs discussed during this conversation was methylene blue—a medical dye that has been in use for over a century. After Gibson indicated his friends are “drinking” methylene blue, Joe Rogan said the substance has “profound effects on your mitochondria,” to which Gibson replied in agreement: “This stuff works, man.”  It’s not just Joe Rogan and Mel Gibson who swear by Methylene blue. MAHA godfather and current Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr was seen on video earlier this year using methylene blue while on a flight. Few men have defied the effects of Father Time better than the trio of Joe Rogan, Mel Gibson and RFK Jr. So it’s not surprising that everyone is looking for more information on Methylene blue. While Methylene blue is just now going mainstream, it isn’t new to many in the know, according to The New York Post: In recent years, celebrities, wellness influencers and biohackers have touted methylene blue for several off-label uses, claiming it can boost energy levels and metabolism, enhance cognitive function and combat aging — though evidence remains limited. Early research suggests that methylene blue may have antioxidant properties that help reduce toxic proteins in the brain, potentially aiding in the prevention of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. Some studies also indicate that the drug may help delay skin aging by stimulating the production of collagen and elastin, reducing cellular damage and promoting wound healing.  WHAT IS METHYLENE BLUE? First used in the 1800s, today, this century-old compound is FDA-approved for methemoglobinemia (a condition in which the blood can’t carry oxygen properly) but has garnered renewed interest for its off-label applications, particularly in enhancing mitochondrial function, combating neurodegenerative diseases, and as adjunct treatment of long COVID. How methylene blue works and its “off-label” uses: Energy Backup:Methylene blue acts like a “backup generator” for your cells’ energy factories (mitochondria). When part of the energy production line (specifically “Complex I”) breaks down—due to toxins, disease, or aging—methylene blue moves electrons directly to later stages of the energy-making process, allowing cells to keep producing energy (ATP) even when parts of the system are damaged. Oxidative Stress Reduction:It acts like a molecular sponge, soaking up harmful molecules called reactive oxygen species (ROS) that damage cells. By neutralizing these destructive molecules, it reduces oxidative stress—a key contributor to aging and diseases like Alzheimer’s. It also blocks caspase-6, an enzyme that drives brain inflammation and kills neurons in Alzheimer’s patients. Think of it as a two-in-one protector: it calms oxidative damage while stopping the enzyme that fuels brain cell death. HOW YOU CAN GET METHYLENE BLUE The medical experts at The Wellness Company – like Dr. Peter McCullough and Dr. Kelly Victory – were leaders in the efforts to provide the public with accurate medical information during COVID. These experts have repeatedly shown that they prioritized the health and welfare of their patients over the bottom line of the big pharmaceutical companies. Now the experts at The Wellness Company are making methylene blue available to you at home with RECHARGE! RECHARGE your cells with the first-ever combination of Methylene Blue and Urolithin A.

I’ve been waiting for this! President Trump’s official Presidential Portrait for his Second Term has just been revealed. The White House Twitter/X account made the official announcement with this video: NEW OFFICIAL PRESIDENTIAL PORTRAIT JUST DROPPED pic.twitter.com/mmDIGRRJNi — The White House (@WhiteHouse) June 2, 2025 NEW OFFICIAL PRESIDENTIAL PORTRAIT JUST DROPPED pic.twitter.com/mmDIGRRJNi — The White House (@WhiteHouse) June 2, 2025 That video moves real quick, so here’s a picture: I think it looks incredible! Here’s a quick summary of the details about the release, as well as some of the initial reaction and commentary: Official Portrait Unveiled: The White House released President Donald Trump’s second-term official portrait, taken by Chief White House Photographer Daniel Torok. Striking Imagery: The portrait is notable for its dramatic, bottom-up “monster lighting” and Trump’s stern expression—raised eyebrow, tight-lipped, no smile. Cinematic Feel: Experts say the lighting is reminiscent of horror films or old cinematic posters, adding intensity and a sense of foreboding. Contrast With 2017 Portrait: Trump’s previous 2017 portrait showed him smiling with balanced lighting, offering a more traditional and approachable look. Mugshot Influence: Photographer Jared Polin noted that Trump’s 2023 Georgia mugshot partially inspired this portrait to convey a similar intensity. Expert Opinions: Eliska Sky (London Institute of Photography) compared the lighting to horror films, emphasizing seriousness. Paul Duerinckx (Swansea College of Art) noted the unusual bottom-up lighting. Andrew Parsons (political photographer) called it a “message picture,” intended to project a specific persona. Public Reaction: Social media and news outlets are split—some praise the portrait’s powerful, defiant symbolism, while others criticize its dark, unwelcoming tone. Additional Artwork: Another painting in the White House shows Trump raising a fist after surviving the 2024 assassination attempt, replacing Barack Obama’s official portrait and marking a symbolic political shift. Divided Opinions: As with much involving Trump, reactions are polarized, but the controversy and discussion may be intentional. And in a stunning turn of events, we also got a new portrait for Joe Biden too (joking of course): RELATED: President Trump Shows Off Latest Self-Portrait At White House — Hung Right Between Hillary Clinton & Laura Bush! We Just Got The First Look At Melania Trump’s Stunning Official White House Portrait We Just Got The First Look At Melania Trump's Stunning Official White House Portrait When President Donald Trump's official second-term portrait was released, it portrayed a clear vision of confidence and authority. And when Lady Melania Trump's portrait was unveiled this week, her trademark poise was unsurprisingly on full display. Her suit, expression, and stance all contributed to an image made even starker by its black-and-white composition.

The black and white portrait was captured by esteemed photographer Régine Mahaux. It was taken on January 21, 2024, in the Yellow Oval Room of the White House, according to the office of the first lady. Early social media reviews were overwhelmingly positive: Badass — Bob Lowry (@BobLowry18) January 27, 2025 — Enon Amos (@EnonAmos) January 27, 2025 Incredible photo! So stunning! So gorgeous! Love it. — Liana (@lianan) January 27, 2025 My new screen saver — Lois (@LOunlimited) January 27, 2025 The New York Post addressed some of the notable differences between Melania Trump's 2017 portrait and the composition revealed this week: In contrast to the smile in Melania’s full-color 2017 portrait, also shot by Mahaux, the first lady’s lips are closed in a serious expression this time around. Mahaux, based in Paris, has regularly photographed the Trump family since 2006. Other of the snapper’s noted subjects include the Belgian royal family, actor Robert De Niro and actress Salma Hayek. The first lady has said she will divide her time between Washington, New York and South Florida over the next four years — the better to spend time with her son Barron, a freshman at NYU. “I will be in the White House. And when I need to be in New York, I will be in New York,” Melania told Fox News in a Jan. 13 pre-inauguration interview. Here's a flashback to the response to the president's attention-grabbing White House portrait:
