OJ Simpson, fallen football hero acquitted of murder in ‘trial of the century,’ dies at 76

Ken Ritter  | The Washington Times LAS VEGAS — O.J. Simpson, the decorated football superstar and Hollywood actor who was acquitted of charges he killed his former wife and her friend but later found liable in a separate civil trial, has died. He was 76. The family announced on Simpson’s official X account - formerly Twitter - that Simpson died Wednesday after battling cancer. Simpson’s attorney confirmed to TMZ he died in Las Vegas. Simpson earned fame, fortune and adulation through football and show business, but his legacy was forever changed by the June 1994 knife slayings of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend Ronald Goldman in Los Angeles. Live TV coverage of his arrest after a famous slow-speed chase marked a stunning fall from grace for the sports hero. ...

In Biden’s latest gaffe, President declares he’s living in the wrong century

Jeff Mordock | The Washington Times President Biden on Wednesday struggled through a press conference with Japanese Prime Minister Kishida Fumio, fumbling to find his list of preselected reporters to call on and concluding the event by announcing he’s living in the wrong century. Mr. Biden appeared confused about which reporters to call on during the press conference, struggling to find his list of preselected reporters that his staff decided should be allowed to ask questions. “Who do I call on next? … Hang on a second. … I’ve got my list here. … I apologize,” Mr. Biden said as he struggled to read the list for several seconds before calling on Aurelia End of AFP.

McCarthy says he’s not Speaker because ‘one person’ in Congress wanted to avoid ethics complaint

LAUREN IRWIN | The Hill Former Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) said at an event Tuesday that he is no longer the leader of the House because “one person” in Congress wanted to avoid an ethics complaint about sexual misconduct. Speaking at an event at Georgetown University, McCarthy linked his historic ousting as Speaker to the allegations against Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.). “I’ll give you the truth why I’m not Speaker. Because one person, a member of Congress, wanted me to stop an ethics complaint because he slept with a 17-year-old,” McCarthy said. READ THE FULL STORY AT THE HILL

Washington’s ban on high-capacity gun magazines ruled unconstitutional

David Gutman | Seattle Times A Cowlitz County judge ruled Washington’s ban on high-capacity magazines unconstitutional Monday, but just minutes later the state Supreme Court issued an emergency order keeping the law on the books while the state appeals the decision. Cowlitz County Superior Court Judge Gary Bashor ruled that Washington’s ban on the magazines, which hold more than 10 rounds and have been banned since 2022, violated both the Washington state and U.S. constitutions. Bashor issued an immediate injunction, which blocks the state from enforcing the ban. READ THE FULL STORY AT THE SEATTLE TIMES

Ex-Rep. Ken Buck knocks ‘Moscow Marjorie’ Taylor Greene in CNN interview

NICK ROBERTSON  | THE HILL Former Rep. Ken Buck (R-Colo.) took shots at Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) on Monday, attacking his former GOP colleague as “Moscow Marjorie.” The jab comes after former Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) called Greene a “very serious legislator” following her threat to force a vote to oust Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) over Ukraine aid. Buck disagreed with McCarthy’s assessment. “My experience with Marjorie is, people have talked to her about not filing articles of impeachment on President Biden before he was sworn into office, on not filing articles of impeachment that were groundless made on other individuals in the Biden administration,” he told Erin Burnett in a CNN interview Monday.  READ THE FULL STORY AT THE HILL...

Read the questions prospective Trump jurors have to answer before they’re selected in hush money trial

Annabella Rosciglione | Washington Examiner The jury selection process is tricky in high-profile cases, especially when involving former President Donald Trump.  The jury is being selected for Trump’s New York hush money case. Judge Juan Merchan indicated that the trial would move forth by outlining his jury selection process in a letter sent to the defense and prosecution. In a typical manner for a trial, possible jurors may excuse themselves before the trial for an “honest, legitimate and good faith reason” they may not be able to serve on the trial.  After that process, the remaining possible jurors will be asked various questions to determine if they can serve in People v. Donald Trump.  READ THE FULL STORY AT THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER

Editorial: Trump abortion policy a turn toward state’s rights

By Rocky Mountain Voice Editorial Board The issue: President Donald Trump this week announced his abortion policy, favoring states independently deciding how to regulate abortion. We say: Regardless of your position on abortion, this view respects the concept of state's rights written into the 10th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution by the Founding Fathers, and is a respectful position for freedom and liberty. The Founding Fathers of a young nation they called the United States of America never had the intention for an over-intrusive federal government to create a nanny state, where our every action is regulated and legislated. We were to be an independent, free people; a republic, if we could keep it. In the 10th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, the final entry into the Bil...

Krannawitter: Without mutual civic trust, there would have been no American Founding

THOMAS L. KRANNAWITTER, PH.D. | Liberty Lyceum The Signers of the Declaration of Independence concluded with a famous and solemn pledge—their lives, fortunes, and sacred honor. This was no small matter. What they were calling “revolution” was, from the British point of view, treason against the Crown and punishable by death. Yet, the Signers stood strong and launched the greatest experiment in freedom the world has witnessed, a movement held together by a powerful kind of social and political glue: Trust. The pledge offered by the Signers in the Summer of 1776 was not a promise to God, nor to fellow citizens. The pledge they made was to each other. They knew, every one of them, that if some broke the trust when the going got tough—and the going was about to get very tough!—others wou...

FBI arrests Idaho 18-year-old for ‘violent plot’ to attack churches on behalf of ISIS, Justice Department says

Greg Norman | Fox News The FBI has arrested an 18-year-old in Idaho after uncovering his "truly horrific" and "violent plot" to attack churches in Coeur d’Alene this past weekend on behalf of ISIS, the Justice Department says.  Alexander Mercurio is now facing a federal charge of attempting to provide material support or resources to a designated foreign terrorist organization after the FBI says he devised a plan to "incapacitate his father, restrain him using handcuffs, and steal his firearms to use for maximum casualties" in an attack he had been planning to carry out in the northern Idaho resort city on Sunday, April 7.  "The defendant allegedly pledged loyalty to ISIS and sought to attack people attending churches in Idaho, a truly horrific plan which was d...

Get ready for $5-a-gallon gasoline as result of gains in crude oil pricing

Charley Blaine | The Street Ah, summertime. The sun will be out. The days will be warm and long.  For many of us, it'll be just the time to load up the kids into the family van and head off to Maine, Yellowstone National Park, Niagara Falls and the Great Lakes, or maybe Walt Disney World.  But be ready. There's a chance you will be looking at paying even more than you are now to fill up at a gas station (assuming you aren't driving an electric vehicle).  Don't be too surprised if you see $5 a gallon or more at the gas pump — if you're not paying that much already.  READ THE FULL STORY AT THE STREET
