A federal judge ruled Wednesday that the National Firearms Act (NFA) no longer applies to suppressors and other items whose taxes were reduced to $0 in July 2025.

United States District Judge James Wesley Hendrix of the Northern District of Texas, a Trump appointee, granted a motion for summary judgment from attorneys representing the Silencer Shop Foundation Wednesday. In the 66-page opinion, Hendrix said that because taxes on suppressors, short-barreled rifles, short-barreled shotguns and other items had been reduced to $0 by legislation signed by President Donald Trump in July 2025, the registration and paperwork imposed by the NFA exceeded Congress' authority under the taxation power.

"In 2025, Congress eliminated the NFA's transfer and making taxes for four categories of firearms: short-barreled shotguns, short-barreled rifles, silencers, and a final, defined group of miscellaneous firearms," Hendrix wrote. "Because today's NFA does not generate any revenue from untaxed firearms, its regulatory provisions cannot be upheld under the taxing power. And there is no sign in the NFA's text, structure, or statutory history that Congress invoked any other

RFK Jr., the chief of the nation’s Department of Health and Human Services, has announced the decertification of “Network for Hope,” an organ procurement company working in Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio and West Virginia.

The group, which sought to obtain organs and then deliver them for transplant procedures, was cited for “extensive” patient safety failures.

In one case cited by Kennedy, a patient was on an operating room table and was showing awareness of his situation with the procurement company pushing for completion of the harvesting.

Surgeons refused and that man remains alive today because of their decision.

Kennedy said the organization put patients on organ donation pathways “who never should have been there,” and sometimes the donation procedures continued even though the patients were not appropriate organ donors.

A U.S. Senate committee on Thursday voted 8-5 to hold Anthony Fauci, once the chief of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and Joe Biden’s key COVID-19 pandemic adviser, in contempt of Congress.

An immediate referral to the Department of Justice for a formal investigation and possible criminal charges was expected.

It was a vote in the Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs committee that put Fauci, whose contempt for the American public already was in evidence through the release of a diary he kept on government computers, in the position of facing possible legal consequences.

President Donald Trump has come to the rescue of a toddler heading toward possible trouble.

He prevented the little one from getting too close to the edge of a stage, and possibly falling, during a news conference in Las Vegas regarding his administration’s Trump Accounts and other issues.

One more humiliation has hit a woman who slapped a teen for wearing MAGA clothing.

The news about the attack by Kaitlyn Tracey, 33, of Canada, on a girl on a Jersey Shore boardwalk over the July 4th holiday hit headlines because surveillance footage showed her hitting a teen on the shoulder, then slapping her across the face.

For wearing MAGA slogans.

She originally was accused of endangering the welfare of a child, simple assault, harassment and obstruction.

She pleaded guilty during a hearing on Tuesday to simple assault, and other charges were dropped. Her sentence of one day in jail was satisfied by the time she spent behind bars after turning herself in after a warrant was issued for her arrest.

However, she was ordered deported as she was inside the United States

Melat Kiros, who booted longtime Denver Democrat, 15-term leftist Dianna DeGette, from her seat in Congress during her party’s primary just weeks ago, is an immigrant from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, who turned herself into a member of America’s elite with her law degree from Notre Dame, her pursuit of a “Public Affairs Ph.D.” in Denver and whose advocacy includes reparations, universal income and equity.

She already has on her resume getting fired from an influential law firm in New York for her work pushing pro-Palestinian talking points.

Her candidacy is based on components that would be found in communism, such as Medicare for all, abolishing ICE, universal childcare controlled by the government, workers’ “rights,” and federal control of housing.

Now she’s pushed her agenda to demand “socialism” to an extreme, insisting that “socialism” actually is “More American” than capitalism, actually, more than anything.
