Fani Willis ordered to give watchdog all communications with special counsel Jack Smith

By Greg Wehner  | Fox News A Georgia judge ordered Fulton County District Attorney Fani Williams to hand over records related to her communications with special counsel Jack Smith and the U.S. House January 6 Committee after failing to comply with a request under the Open Records Act (ORA). The nonprofit group Judicial Watch filed a lawsuit against Willis in March after her office claimed it did not have any documents and communications on file between Willis and Smith or Willis and the January 6th Committee. But it turned out her office did have communications, and on Monday, Fulton County Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney ordered Willis to produce them within five business days. McBurney also determined in his ruling that Willis violated Georgia’s open records act b...

South Korean president lifts martial law after lawmakers reject move

By Louis Casiano  | Fox News South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol lifted his martial law declaration after lawmakers rejected the move following Yoon's vow to eliminate "anti-state" forces in a serious challenge to the country's Parliament, which he accused of sympathizing with North Korea.  The Tuesday night declaration was vocally opposed by the speaker of Parliament and even the leader of Yoon's own party, Han Dong-hoon, who has clashed with the president over his handling of recent scandals, Reuters reported.  Shortly after Yoon made his announcement, people began gathering outside the Parliament building, some of them shouting: "Withdraw emergency martial law!" while scuffling with troops. Under South Korean law, the president must lift martial law if the Parliament...

Gavin Newsom seeks $25 million legal fund to ‘Trump-proof’ California, fight federal policy

By David Krayden | The Post Millennial Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) wants to establish a $25 million legal fund to fight the incoming administration of President-elect Donald Trump in the courts – even though California is looking at a massive shortfall in funds.  The move from Newsom and the California legislature is seeking to “Trump-proof” the state for Trump’s second term in office, the Daily Mail reported. There is little love lost between Newsome and Trump, who often reminds Americans about the exodus of people leaving California because of its policies.   If Newsom’s legal fund is approved, the state Department of Justice as well as government agencies would receive more money to prepare for litigation over such liberal policy areas as abortion rights, climate c...

Jeff Hurd, taking over 3rd District seat, headlines new crop of legislators in U.S. House

By Hailey Bullis | Washington Examiner Republican Rep.-elect Jeff Hurd, the incoming freshman for Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District, admits his representation style might be a “little bit different” from that of his predecessor, Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO). Hurd, 45, had never run for elected office prior to his 2024 congressional campaign, saying during an interview with the Washington Examiner that his foray into politics was much that of an “accidental politician.” For Hurd and his wife, Barbora Hurd, who have five children, the idea of running for an elected position “wasn’t anything that we had been aiming for,” with the incoming freshman saying he often jokes that “if you’re looking for somebody that has good judgment, don’t look at the person running for C...

UCLA’s blueprint to increase diversity and sidestep SCOTUS ruling could make it ‘prime target’ for Trump DOJ

By Jaryn Crouson | Daily Caller The University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) has laid the groundwork for schools to skirt the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling that banned affirmative action admission policies. While several universities saw a rise in Asian enrollment and a decrease in black and Latino enrollment following the Supreme Court’s landmark 2023 ruling that banned the use of race as a factor in college admission decisions, UCLA saw an unprecedented rise in “diversity.” The university has openly boasted of its method of outreach toward nonwhite students and change in the admissions process that allows the school to reach its desired ratio of students. “[T]here is abundant evidence that, since 2007, UCLA’s undergraduate admissions office has been using significant racial pr...

Rep. Thomas Massie, the 2024 keynote to RMGO, notes irony of President Biden pardon

By BRIAN PORTER | Rocky Mountain Voice In the wake of President Joe Biden pardoning his son, Hunter, for a variety of criminal offenses, including the unlawful purchase of a firearm, one 2nd Amendment advocate familiar to gun-owning Coloradans noted the irony. U.S. Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Kentucky, who was the keynote speaker this year at the Rocky Mountain Gun Owners' annual banquet, called upon Biden to expand the pardon in an effort for equal application of the law. "Since Joe Biden thinks a particular gun law shouldn’t be enforced for his son Hunter Biden, he should pardon everyone who’s been prosecuted under that same provision," Massey wrote on Twitter/X. https://twitter.com/RepThomasMassie/status/1863693757469659314 In addition to his role this year with RMGO, Massie ...

Colorado Democrat Gov. Jared Polis bashes President Biden for pardon of son Hunter

By Jack Birle | Washington Examiner President Joe Biden‘s decision to pardon his son Hunter Biden on Sunday frustrated one Democrat who has been breaking with his party in recent weeks. The president and his 2020 running mate, Vice President Kamala Harris, ran on a platform promising to put their country over their party, as a contrast to President-elect Donald Trump. But Gov. Jared Polis (D-CO) said Sunday that the president’s decision to go back on his word was a prime example of putting his family over the country. READ THE FULL STORY AT THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER

Biden-Harris admin to send an additional $725 million in military assistance to Ukraine

By David Krayden | The Post Millennial The Biden-Harris administration is preparing to send an additional $725 million in military assistance to Ukraine that will include counter-drone systems and more of the controversial anti-personnel landmines that most countries around the world have outlawed as a weapon of war. The US was not a signatory of the Ottawa Convention, which prohibits the anti-personnel landmines. The package will also reportedly include munitions for its High Mobility Artillery Rocket System. Two US officials who spoke to the Associated Press on the condition of anonymity, would not confirm whether the armaments being supplied for the High Mobility Artillery Rocket System were of the ATACMS class, but Ukraine has reportedly been pushing for more of t...
