Biden Signs EXECUTIVE ORDER – Here It Comes!

(ConservativeSense.com) – More gun control is on its way as President Joe Biden signs an executive order to increase compliance with background checks for gun purchasers, firearms storage rules, and to make sure law enforcement agencies benefit most from the bipartisan gun control legislation that was enacted in 2022.

Following the mass shooting at a dance hall in Monterey Park, California, injuring 20 and killing 11, calls for gun control have increased among Democrats. Biden is set to speak in Monterey Park soon in order to address his efforts to stop gun violence. The president has spoken many times about banning what he calls “assault weapons.”

Last summer, bipartisan legislation was passed by Congress following a mass shooting in Buffalo, New York, which left 10 people dead in a grocery store, as well as the Uvalde, Texas, shooting that killed 19 students and 2 teachers at an elementary school. Many Democrats believe the bill, called the Safer Communities Act, doesn’t do enough.

Biden’s actions on Tuesday won’t change the existing government policy, only direct federal agencies to comply with the laws and procedures that already exist. Such presidential executive orders are typically limited.

On Monday, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said that “too many lives” have been lost to gun violence, and that Biden “believes we need to do more.” She said the president will “call on Congress to take action and not to stop.”The new order will direct Cabinet efforts to make a plan to improve government support for communities with higher gun violence, including calling on Attorney General Merrick Garland to make sure licensed gun dealers know what rules they have to follow for background checks.

The order will also mandate improved ballistics data reports from law enforcement to match shell casings to guns used in crimes and request the Federal Trade Commission to issue public reports about gun manufacturers’ methods of marketing to minors and the general public by using military imagery.

Despite opposition from Congress, Biden said his administration will continue to do all that it can “within existing authority” to make communities safer from gun violence.

Ben Hodges: Russia is testing US limits

Former commander of the U.S. Army Europe Gen. Ben Hodges discusses how the government should respond to Russia hitting a U.S. drone on ‘The Story with Martha MacCallum.’

The International Criminal Court (ICC) has issued an arrest warrant for Russian President Vladimir Putin, citing his alleged involvement in the abduction of Ukrainian children.

A warrant was also issued Friday for Maria Alekseyevna Lvova-Belova, Commissioner for Children’s Rights in the Office of the President of the Russian Federation, after the ICC declared there are "reasonable grounds to believe that each suspect bears responsibility for the war crime of unlawful deportation of population and that of unlawful transfer of population from occupied areas of Ukraine to the Russian Federation, in prejudice of Ukrainian children."

The U.S. is not a member of the ICC and neither assists nor acknowledges the authority of the judicial body.

The ICC wrote that Putin "is allegedly responsible for the war crime of unlawful deportation of population (children) and that of unlawful transfer of population (children) from occupied areas of Ukraine to the Russian Federation."

WHAT IS THE ICC AND HOW DOES IT FUNCTION?

Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokeswoman Maria Zakharova brushed off the arrest warrant, saying, "The decisions of the International Criminal Court have no meaning for our country, including from a legal point of view."

"Russia is not a party to the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court and does not bear obligations under it," Zakharova said. "Russia does not cooperate with this body, and possible 'recipes' for arrest coming from the International Court of Justice will be legally null and void for us."

Ukraine's General Prosecutor Andriy Kostin cheered the decision.

"Now, if Putin leaves Russia, he would be arrested and surrendered to ICC," Kostin said. "World leaders will think twice before shaking his hand or sitting with Putin at the negotiating table. It’s another clear signal to the world that the Russian regime is criminal."

While the court was established as an international judicial body with the signing of the Rome Treaty of 1998, the ICC began actual operations in 2002 based in The Hague, Netherlands. 

To date, 123 countries have ratified the treaty and approved the authority of the court in international prosecution.

The court’s function is to prosecute perpetrators of the worst crimes, including genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes. It has global jurisdiction and is intended as a last resort when national governments are unable or outright refuse to prosecute.

Last year, the ICC announced it had launched the largest "single field" investigation since its inception 20 years ago into war crimes committed during Russia's deadly war in Ukraine.

This “Democrat Party icon” just sent the Left into hysterics with one jaw-dropping apology to conservatives

Groupthink has undoubtedly helped fuel Democrats’ electoral success for decades.

The fact that virtually every Democrat and the so-called “mainstream” media regurgitate the same leftist-talking points keeps the Party focused on their shared Republican enemies.

But in a stunning twist, this “Democrat Party icon” just sent the Left into hysterics with one jaw-dropping apology to conservatives.It’s rare when anyone on the Left admits they are wrong.

Even rarer when they apologize for all the harm they’ve done by being wrong.

“I am sorry…”

With Tucker Carlson’s release of never-before-seen security footage recorded at the Capitol on January 6 bringing Democrats’ lies to light, many Americans have been appalled by the revelations.

Of course, while the majority of the country is demanding answers as to why the ruling class elites in both parties are so hellbent on keeping the unseen footage from the American people, most Democrats have circled the wagons to claim Carlson somehow fabricated the footage to discredit their January 6 narrative.But not all Democrats have so blindly and dutifully followed the ruling class elites’ demands to ignore what they can see with their own two eyes.

Left-wing, feminist author Naomi Wolf, who Business Insider once dubbed “a Democratic Party icon,” is issuing a major apology to conservatives.

In a new essay released through her Substack newsletter last week, Wolf admitted after seeing the newly released security footage, she owed conservatives an apology for how she, and what she referred to as her “former ‘tribe,’” reacted to January 6.

“I must say that I am sorry for believing the dominant legacy-media ‘narrative’ pretty completely from the time it was rolled out, without asking questions,” Wolf wrote.

“I am sorry the nation was damaged by so much untruth issued by those with whom I identified at the time,” she added.

Wolf went on to note some of the inconsistencies she saw between the ruling class elites’ narrative on January 6 and the actual footage.

“There is no way to unsee Officer Brian Sicknick, claimed by some Democrats in leadership and by most of the legacy media to have been killed by rioters at the Capitol that day, alive in at least one section of the newly released video,” Wolf explained.

“Whatever the truth of this confusing conclusion, and with all respect for and condolences to Officer Sicknick’s family, the circumstances of his death do matter to the public, as without his death having been caused by the events of Jan 6, the breach of the capitol, serious though it was, cannot be described as a ‘deadly insurrection,’” she continued.

Doing the legacy media’s job for them

One of the leading voices of what is described as the “third wave” of the feminist movement, Wolf went on to laud the Fox News host for his “valuable journalism.”

Furthermore, Wolf took major issue with the ruling class elites in both parties – namely Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) – and legacy media talking heads who condemned Carlson’s release of the footage.

“Isn’t the press supposed to want full transparency for all public interest events?” the feminist author asked rhetorically.

Wolf concluded by proclaiming that anyone who engaged in violence should be held accountable, but at the same time, “anyone in leadership who misrepresented to the public the events of the day so as to distort the complexity of its actual history — must also be held accountable.”

Interestingly, while the corporate-controlled media will largely ignore the fact that a “Democratic Party icon” is thanking Tucker Carlson for exposing the truth about January 6, the left-wing outrage mob doesn’t possess such restraint.

In fact, in the days since Wolf released her essay, a small battle has apparently broken out in the edits surrounding the feminist author’s Wikipedia page.

Prior to her comments on January 6, Wolf was simply described on her Wikipedia page as “an American feminist author.”

However, thanks to a March 13 edit by Wikipedia’s censors, the page now describes Wolf as “an American feminist author, journalist and conspiracy theorist.”

As far as left-wing radicals are concerned, Wolf’s decades as a left-wing radical, leading the feminist movement, meant nothing the moment she dared to question Democrats’ narrative.
