Colorado Supreme Court Dismisses Lawfare Case Against Christian Cake Baker

Published

on

For twelve years, Christian cake baker Jack Phillips has been the victim of relentless lawfare from antagonistic, radical leftists who wanted to force him to abandon his religious values. But on Tuesday, the state Supreme Court dismissed the third lawfare challenge against him.

Citing procedural errors, the Colorado Supreme Court dismissed Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Scardina. The heart of the case was whether Phillips should be forced — against his sincerely held religious convictions — to design a cake for a mentally ill man, Autumn Scardina, who believes he is a woman. The requested cake would have been pink on the inside and blue on the outside, expressing a message that Phillips says violates his religious beliefs.

The case was “calibrated to set Phillips up,” as David Harsanyi wrote in these pages. On the same day the U.S. Supreme Court agreed to take up a different case involving Phillips in 2017 (SCOTUS later ruled in Phillips’ favor), Scardina requested a cake “to celebrate and symbolize a gender transition,” according to Alliance Defending Freedom. Phillips declined, and “a few months later, Scardina also asked for a cake with Satan smoking a joint, which [Phillips] declined as well,” according to Alliance Defending Freedom. Scardina would later admit he made these requests to “test” Phillips, according to Alliance Defending Freedom.

Ultimately the state court dismissed the case Tuesday.

“The underlying constitutional question this case raises has become the focus of intense public debate: How should government balance the rights of transgender individuals to

WI Elections Regulator Faces Records Lawsuit On Same-Day Voter Registration Guidance

Published

on

The Badger State’s troubled election regulator continues to have a transparency problem. 

The Wisconsin Elections Commission (WEC) is facing possible court intervention for its refusal to turn over records related to guidance that WEC issued to local election clerks about same-day registration safeguards. 

According to a lawsuit filed by the Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF), the commission issued updated guidance in February 2023, but has stonewalled PILF’s records requests seeking communications about the creation of the guidance for “at least 397 days.” 

“Same-Day Voter Registration is already a vote now verify later system,” J. Christian Adams, president of the election integrity watchdog, said in a statement. “Wisconsin is adding more uncertainty to its election process by hiding election records. Wisconsin needs to be subject to the federal election transparency law. Concealing the election process from the public encourages disinformation and distrust.”

Wisconsin is one of 23 states and the District of Columbia that allows voters to register and cast a ballot on the same day, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. Individuals registering to vote on Election Day in Wisconsin must present acceptable photo ID. 

While leftist voting activists say same-day registration bolsters voter turnout, election integrity advocates argue the allowance opens the door to election administration chaos and fraud.

‘Matters of Great Public Importance’

Same-day voter registration does come with mandatory safeguards in the Badger State, including a review or audit to determine the validity of the same-day registrant’s address. Election officials must identify which registrations should

In Bulletproof, The Victors Write The History Of The Trump Assassination Attempt

Published

on

Jack Posobiec & Joshua Lisec’s book Bulletproof: The Truth About the Assassination Attempts on Donald Trump bears out a shifting political and cultural paradigm. Stored up potential energy is giving way to kinetic energy in the conservative movement.

From the first announcement of Posobiec & Lisec’s forthcoming book, the Covid-beaten, 2020 election-battered, vaccine-weary, war-wary, not to mention Butler shell-shocked and all-around beleaguered conservative mind grasped for a long-distant sentiment: vindication. For the first time in who knows how long, we will be vindicated.

Bulletproof fuses Posobiec and Lisec’s talents of military intelligence analysis, gripping story-telling, and comprehensive news reporting, resulting in a fascinating, thorough accounting of one of the most consequential political events in modern history.

Many passages read more like a fictional mystery thriller; a look through the dense Notes section will show you how much primary source investigation has been seemingly memory-holed in just these past few months. Bulletproof preserves this evidence to show you what kind of official investigation should be happening – but is not.

Details, Demonic And Divine

Far from a dreadful recounting of gory shooting details, Bulletproof relays the events of July 13 – both demonic and divine – in a short chapter up front simply called “The Chart.” Cinematic and thrilling, this depiction will send shivers down your spine.

The authors house the analysis-oriented portion of the book within the framework of a military intelligence method called “Analysis of Competing Hypotheses.” The tapestry of details curated by the authors provides a sweeping,

Make French Fries Great Again

Published

on

Former President Donald Trump’s appearance at a Pennsylvania McDonald’s over the weekend galvanized supporters around his pro-American, proletariat message. It was a huge hit among almost everyone except the liberal media and others who suffer from Trump Derangement Syndrome. 

And while his visit to the iconic golden arches and well-documented eating habits seem to directly contradict the goals of the newly affiliated “Make America Healthy Again” movement, there is a pasture in which these two meet — a pasture filled with cows. Cows that produce a forgotten ingredient well primed to make a comeback: beef tallow. 

Many health advocates used Trump’s momentary “employment” to push for a return to beef tallow, as opposed to seed oil, in the fryers at McDonald’s. RFK Jr. himself addressed the issue in a post on X. Rather than make unrealistic demands of Americans to ditch junk food altogether, he simply wants people to enjoy their occasional indulgences without fear of being poisoned, saying, “People who enjoy a burger with fries on a night out aren’t to blame, and Americans should have every right to eat out at a restaurant without being unknowingly poisoned by heavily subsidized seed oils. It’s time to Make Frying Oil Tallow Again.”

The idea went viral with many health advocates chiming in about making French fries great again and riffing off the title of Trump’s popular book with “The Art of the French Fry.” 

Where’s the Beef? 

So what’s the beef with beef tallow? 

Simply put, beef tallow is rendered beef
