Congress has advanced two key bills that could mark the most significant victory for gun rights since 2005, according to the NRA’s legislative expert, John Commerford. The bills include H.R. 38, which proposes nationwide reciprocity for concealed carry permits, allowing law-abiding gun owners to carry firearms across state lines where permitted, and H.R. 2184, aimed at streamlining the appeal process for those denied firearm purchases due to background check errors. Commerford emphasizes that passage of these measures represents a critical moment for Second Amendment advocates, as current laws can lead to severe penalties for lawful gun owners crossing state lines…

It’s not as if it was ever a secret: The very core of the woke movement is fundamentally rooted in evil. The general definition of “evil” being a conscious act of deception and destruction, the deliberate victimization of others for the sake of personal power, pleasure, and gain. When I try to imagine what a religion of evil might look like I consistently come back to the far-left woke movement along with its rabid mantras, agendas, and self-righteous narcissism. The majority of human beings have an inherent sense of good and evil; we often refer to this condition as conscience…
