The Supreme Court yesterday struck down a more than a century-old New York state gun law. The court said that the law, which limits who can carry guns outside the home, conflicts with the second amendment – and the ruling stands to significantly change the legal landscape of gun rights in the U.S. Plus: devastation following an earthquake in Afghanistan. And: a call for solidarity from Asian Americans.

On Thursday's Mark Levin Show, Clarence Thomas wrote a brilliant opinion on the now unconstitutional New York law regarding carrying a concealed pistol or revolver. The Supreme Court found that New York's 'proper cause' law violated the second amendment and prior case law. No special need or 'proper cause' is needed, as that would violate the 14th amendment. There is no need to demonstrate 'proper cause' for one's right to free speech or any other Constitutional right, and as such one's right to protect themselves in their home extends outside their home as well. A state's regulations may not impede one's constitutional right. Then, the DOJ raided the home of Jeffrey Clark a former DOJ official from the Trump era. Several of Mr. Clark's colleagues are now trashing him, and it seems odd.

As Americans watch their government leaders spend more and more, the average citizen is struggling to pay for food and gas. It seems that the Biden administration is more concerned with placating a base of radical leftists than crafting a federal budget designed to help everyday Americans.To Rep. Kevin Hern, R-Okla., the government needs to focus on balancing its budget, especially as it continues to spend exorbitant amounts of money."The only place in America without a balanced budget has been the federal government, and we're seeing the ramifications of that with high inflation, skyrocketing fuel prices, skyrocketing food prices," Hern says. "The list goes on and on."Hern says the out-of-control government spending under President Joe Biden has dire consequences for the safety of the nation."I think if we don't start now, we're never going to get our federal spending under control," the Oklahoma Republican says. "Interest on our debt is going to be higher than our defense budget in just five years. Much of that interest is going to go to China, where they're going to use their money to build a defense to come after us."Hern joins "The Daily Signal Podcast" to discuss House Republicans' budget proposal and what the consequences of Biden's budget would be.We also cover these stories:An armed man from California is arrested near Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh's house in Maryland and says that he came to murder the justice.Fourth grader Miah Cerrillo speaks about her experience surviving the massacre at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas.Biden admits that voters have sent a clear message that politicians need to be tougher on crime, after the successful recall election for San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin.

This week on "Off The Cuff," Justin and Karen are joined by Jon Fansmith, the American Council on Education's assistant vice president for government relations, to discuss the latest news from the Department of Education (ED) concerning borrower defense claims against Corinthian Colleges, Inc. The team discusses the Biden administration's efforts to implement targeted loan cancellation and whether the discussion over the potential for broad scale cancellation has overshadowed ED's recent actions to provide relief to defrauded borrowers. Jon then updates listeners on ED's promotion of the Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) program and whether enough outreach is being conducted to make borrowers aware of the available limited waiver. The team rounds things out with some questions they would consider asking Under Secretary James Kvaal, who later this month will be at the NASFAA national conference in Austin.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for June 1, 2022 is: behest bih-HEST noun A behest is an authoritative order or an urgent prompting. // The committee met again at the behest of the senator. See the entry > Examples: "Earmarks were banned on Capitol Hill 11 years ago at the behest of House Republicans and then-President Obama in response to scandals surrounding how lawmakers were using them." — Jennifer Haberkorn, The Los Angeles Times, 16 Mar. 2022 Did you know? Behest is an ancient word: it is almost a thousand years old. It was formed from the prefix be- and the verb hātan ("to command" or "to promise"), and its Old English ancestor was used exclusively in the sense of "promise," a now-obsolete meaning that continued on in Middle English especially in the phrase "the land of behest." The "command" meaning of behest is also ancient but it's still in good use, typically referring to an authoritative order. Behest is now also used with a less weighty meaning; it can refer to an urgent prompting, as in "a repeat performance at the behest of the troupe's fans."

This is Stephen Schmidt from the Gazette digital news desk and I'm here with your update for Tuesday, May 24. Tuesday will begin a trend of rainier weather that will continue through Thursday. According to the National Weather Service it will be mostly cloudy in the Cedar Rapids area, with a high near 68 degrees. The chance for rain will pick up to around 40 percent after 4 p.m. Tuesday and spike up to 90 percent overnight into Wednesday. It will be breezy late Tuesday as rain creeps its way closer, and the low temperature should be around 53 degrees. A proposal by Gov. Kim Reynolds to shift taxpayer funding for public schools to scholarships for private school tuition assistance will not pass the Iowa Legislature this year, a top statehouse Republican said on Monday. Iowa House Speaker Pat Grassley, a Republican from New Hartford, told reporters Monday that there were not enough votes among the 60 House Republicans to get the 51 votes needed to pass the proposal in the 100-member House. The legislative proposal had already passed the Republican-led Iowa Senate and Republican leaders had been holding up the session in hopes of reaching a compromise with House Republicans. The bulk of the holdouts among House Republicans were legislators in rural districts, where public school officials said the loss of students to private schools could be fiscally devastating. It is the second consecutive year that Reynolds, a Republican, made the proposal, only to see it falter in the Republican-controlled Iowa House. With Cedar Rapids casino backers on the cusp of applying again for a state license, the Iowa Legislature with scant notice Monday approved a moratorium on issuing any new approvals for casinos for two years. The moratorium, a new topic that came up in what appears to be the last days of the 2022 legislative session, is part of https://www.legis.iowa.gov/legislation/BillBook?ga=89&ba=HF2497 (House File 2497), a broader law on gaming and regulations. The bill was passed 35-11 in the Iowa Senate and later 60-23 in the Iowa House. The measure needs Gov. Kim Reynolds' approval to become law. If it becomes law, the hiatus would thwart Cedar Rapids' third try for a casino until July 2024. State regulators previously denied a gaming license to Linn County in 2014 and 2017. “It's incredibly disappointing that this can happen seemingly in the dark of night without the city to even have the opportunity to respond,” Cedar Rapids Mayor Tiffany O'Donnell said after the vote. Lawmakers who supported the change argued that Iowa's gambling industry is at its saturation point and any other casinos would cannibalize the existing market. A judge has set a hearing in July on a motion to move the trial of one of two Fairfield teens accused of killing a high school Spanish teacher with a baseball bat out of Jefferson County because of pretrial publicity and to suppress several pieces of evidence and his statements to police at trial. A lawyer for https://www.thegazette.com/crime-courts/judge-rules-2nd-fairfield-teen-to-be-tried-as-adult/ (Willard Noble Chaiden Miller, 16, )says her client can't get a fair and impartial jury in Jefferson County based on “extensive pretrial publicity.” In the suppression motion by Miller's lawyer, filed previously in March, the defense is asking the court to not allow the prosecution to submit evidence obtained during a search of Miller's residence on Nov. 4 of last year, and his statements to police because his rights were violated. In the motion, Miller's lawyer argues that Miller's mother signed a juvenile waiver when police asked to speak with her son about a missing person — Graber. Miller's mother was told about vandalism at Graber's home, not that it was regarding a homicide investigation or that Miller was a suspect. His lawyer argued that the subsequent police interrogation was thus tainted by the fact that Miller was not properly informed of his rights.

THE THESIS: The Lord Jesus said it, “blessed be the peacemakers.” To follow our Savior, we must do the hardest work of all: fight evil using love. The Messiah also said “blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me.” Indeed, that is what we often get for speaking in love. But, when we turn to government to solve sin problems, we invite the enemy to create hate problems. So, let us render unto Caesar that what is his--including constitutionally provisioned law-making--and unto God that wich is His: redeeming our fellow humans. THE SCRIPTURE & SCRIPTURAL RESOURCES: Matthew 5:1-5 - The Beatitudes 5 Now when Jesus saw the crowds, he went up on a mountainside and sat down. His disciples came to him, 2 and he began to teach them. He said: 3 “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 4 Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. 5 Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth. 6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled. 7 Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy. 8 Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God. 9 Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God. 10 Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 5: 11-12 11 “Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. 12 Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you. THE NEWS & COMMENT: [AUDIO] - Psaki suggests that parents who can't find baby formula should call a doctor. [AUDIO] - Jeanie Pierre laughs about baby formula . . . which the Regime is sending to the border Activist claims Justice Amy Coney Barrett doesn't understand 'pregnancy' despite her giving birth to 5 children [AUDIO] - George Takei: Nixing Row Proves GOP is 'Mean-Spirited and Dangerous' NYC Mayor Adams: No Limitation on Abortion, Even Day of Birth; “No, I do not. Women should have a right to choose” House Republicans probe DOJ for info on reluctance to enforce federal law amid protests at justices' homes; A federal law makes it illegal to attempt to 'influence' federal officials and the outcome of a court case THE LISTENERS: Hi Mr Todd David here ( Texas oil Guard ). I was a goat dairy owner in the separate country of Washington. My wife and I are information junkies so as we ran our dairy we did massive research on goats, goat milk and goat meat. What we found was goat milk is very easy for the human body to use. If a lot of the moms and dads that are using formula and can't find it should check into raw goat milk that is naturally homogenized. Make sure they check with their Doctors. And on your last podcast you said it might be ok for a rape victim to have a abortion. That would be saying God made a mistake because all life comes from him. Love the show keep it up David a Jesus needer --- --- --- Hi Todd, I really loved both hours of your Podcast on May 12, 2022! I also appreciate it when you pray for the leadership of this country.

This week, Alan, Quinta and Scott were joined by Allies host and Lawfare associate editor Bryce Klehm! Together they talked through the week's big national security news stories, including: "Remember the ‘90s?” Nine months have passed since the Taliban seized power in Kabul, and its promises of a more moderate rule than the harsh theocracy it oversaw in the 1990s are increasingly ringing hollow. Just this past week, the Taliban issued a new edict directing women and girls to cover everything but their eyes while in public and discouraging them from leaving their homes. Is there any chance of the Taliban changing tack? And how should the United States and others engage with them? “A Shooting in Buffalo.” An 18-year-old shooter who targeted and killed black shoppers at a supermarket this past week appears to have been radicalized online by a version of “replacement theory,” which has been echoed in rhetoric by mainstream right-wing political figures ranging from Tucker Carlson to Elise Stefanik. How should platforms and policymakers combat such radicalization to prevent more violence?“It's Coming from Inside the House.” The Jan. 6 committee took a dramatic step earlier this week when it issued subpoenas to five House Republicans who had refused to voluntarily participate with its investigation, including minority leader Kevin McCarthy. Why did the committee take this step now? And what are the odds it will lead these members to cooperate?For object lessons, Alan endorsed Emily St. John Mandel's newest piece of sci-fi literature, "Sea of Tranquility." Quinta celebrated the miraculous recovery of her house plant. Scott encouraged listeners to check out an overlooked and underappreciated chapter in the Muppets' oeuvre, the 2015 adult sitcom "The Muppets." And Bryce recommended an old television show folks might not have heard of called "The Sopranos" for some insight into mafia-style management.And everyone encouraged listeners to check out the newest podcast series from Lawfare and Goat Rodeo, Allies, which does a deep dive into how the decade-long failure of the Afghan Special Immigrant Visa (SIV) program led the United States to leave so many allies behind following its withdrawal from Afghanistan.

Following the leaked draft decision from the Supreme Court suggesting Roe v. Wade could soon be overturned, pro-abortion activists have become increasingly aggressive as they protest.In addition to demonstrating in front of the high court justices' homes, some protesters have taken things a step further and begun to physically attack pro-life organizations at their places of operation.Lois Anderson, executive director at Oregon Right to Life, and Penny Nance, CEO of Concerned Women for America, both experienced attacks on their organizations.“We've always felt very safe there. It's a community that's just right next to our state Capitol, but we've been in that building for more than two decades and never even had so much as a protest,” said Anderson. “We've been quietly doing our work in that building, and it really was jarring.”They share their stories about how pro-abortion extremists attacked their facilities.We also cover these news items:Sen.

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas is facing the threat of impeachment should Republicans reclaim control of the U.S. House. An unprecedented border crisis and its ravaging effects prompted 133 House Republicans to write to Mayorkas on Monday, citing "grave questions" about his "suitability for office."Only once in U.S. history has the House impeached a Cabinet official; Secretary of War William Belknap was later acquitted by the Senate in 1876. Now, nearly 150 years later, pressure is building on Mayorkas.Mark Morgan, acting commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection in the Trump administration, says the the problem on our southern border is about to get much worse. He joins "The Daily Signal Podcast" to explain what's happening and why it matters to every American.That's one reason he supports Mayorkas' impeachment. "He's turning a blind eye. He has failed the United States. He has failed this country, so he should be impeached," Morgan tells The Daily Signal.Morgan, who previously served as chief of U.S. Border Patrol in the Obama administration and was acting director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, is currently a visiting fellow at The Heritage Foundation (publisher of The Daily Signal).Read the lightly edited transcript, listen, or watch the interview at DailySignal.com.
