Colorado bans guns with detachable magazines to prevent mass shootings | The Post Millennial– thepostmillennial.com Source Link Excerpt:
The new law also immediately bans devices such as bump stocks that can make semiautomatic weapons fire at speeds close to fully automatic firearms.
A new law signed by Colorado Governor Jared Polis is set to become one of the strictest gun regulations the state has ever passed.
On Thursday, Polis signed Senate Bill 3, which bans the manufacture and sharply limits the sale of certain semiautomatic firearms in Colorado. The law is meant to reduce mass shooting casualties. “Gun-control groups hail the measure as a bold step toward reducing the death toll in mass shootings because attackers won’t be able to easily reload when they run out of bullets,” the Wall Street Journal reported.
“I really think this will make Colorado safer,” Polis said before signing the bill at the state Capitol.
Trump Weighs Plan To Shutter Controversial Law Enforcement Agency– trendingpoliticsnews.com Source Link Excerpt:
The U.S. Department of Justice is reportedly weighing a proposal that would merge the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA).
According to a report from Reuters, the department outlined the plan in a March 25 memo. In addition to a potential merger, the administration is also reportedly considering the closure of several field offices that handle antitrust, environmental and civil cases.
The administration believes that a merger of the ATF and the DEA would “achieve efficiencies in resources, case deconfliction and regulatory efforts,” the memo outlines. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche instructed department heads and relevant officials mentioned in the memo to provide feedback about the proposed restricting by April 2.
Blanche added that proposed cuts and mergers were previously submitted to the Office of Personnel Management and the White House Office of Management and Budget.
EU foreign ministers are meeting in Luxembourg this morning to discuss the key challenges facing the bloc in foreign affairs, with Ukraine top of the pile.
Reeling from the shock of Russia’s Palm Sunday’s attack on Sumy, which killed at least 34 and injured more than 100, the leaders will discuss what more they can do to help Ukraine deter Russian aggression.
We saw strong political reactions already on Sunday. French president Emmanuel Macron blamed Moscow for “blatant disregard for human lives, international law, and the diplomatic efforts of president Trump.”
Incoming German chancellor Friedrich Merz accused Russia of “serious war crimes” and “perfidy” in the way the attack was conducted. Polish prime minister Donald Tusk said the attack represented “the Russian version of a ceasefire.”
On arrivals this morning, the language of top foreign policy chiefs was similarly clear. EU’s top diplomat Kaja Kallas said it only served as a reminder of the importance of supporting Ukraine “to put maximum pressure on Russia” as the Vladimir Putin continues to reject the ceasefire offer.
Sunday night marked another explosive chapter in President Trump’s ongoing battle with the dishonest corporate media, as he fired off a pair of Truth Social posts eviscerating the long-disgraced CBS program “60 Minutes” for airing not one—but two—blatantly false hit pieces against him.
This is not the first time “60 Minutes” was accused of running deliberately false reports in order to take down President Trump.
It can be recalled that ’60 Minutes’ cut Kamala’s nonsensical answer to a question and replaced it with a completely separate sentence she said earlier in the interview. This was fraud and election interference.
In recent news, CBS is now considering settling a $10 billion lawsuit brought by Trump over its deceptively edited ’60 Minutes’ interview with Kamala Harris prior to the 2024 election.
Sources inside CBS, as reported by CNN, revealed that discussions of a potential settlement have “sparked outrage” in the newsroom.
It’s a feature of today’s warfare, especially in the war in Ukraine, that there are no ‘safe places’ in the rear, since artillery, drones, missiles and air raids can get to targets anywhere, anytime.
That was the case of Sunday’s attack in the Ukrainian region of Sumy, where two powerful explosions were followed by a thick column of smoke rising into the sky, as two ballistic missile strikes reportedly strike the congress center of Sumy State University.
Needless to say, both Kiev regime’s leader Volodymyr Zelensky, his handlers France’s Emmanuel Macron and UK’s Keir Starmer, as well as some MSM vehicles, called an attack on a peaceful civilian gathering, ‘an Easter celebration’.
The problem is that they forgot to silence their own Ukrainian politicians and officials, that have already denounced: the missile strike was carried out on the place where militants of the 117th territorial defense brigade were receiving awards in a widely advertised ceremony.
‼️ Ukranian politicians confirm the fact of a military gathering in the center of Sumy!
The mayor of Konotop calls for the resignation of the head of the military administration of the Sumy region and the head of the regional SBU by 6:00 pm.
The Trump DOJ opposed requests in alleged MS-13 gang member Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s motion for additional relief.
On Friday, US District Judge of the US District Court for the District of Maryland, Paula Xinis set a new hearing in the case of alleged MS-13 gang member Kilmar Abrego Garcia after the Supreme Court ruled the US must facilitate his return from El Salvador.

The Justice Department (DOJ) on Friday revealed it has charged a Pennsylvania man with threatening to harm and kill President Donald Trump, other U.S. officials, and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents.
Shawn Monper of Butler, Pennsylvania, was charged with the threats earlier this week after he allegedly made threatening comments on social media, and purchased guns to allegedly carry out the threats.
Monper allegedly made the posts under his username of “Mr. Satan” where the user commented in February that people needed to kill Trump, Tesla billionaire Elon Musk, and other Trump administration agency heads. In one message, he allegedly stated that he would “assassinate him myself.”
“I want to applaud the outstanding and courageous investigative work of the FBI and the Butler Township Police Department, who thankfully identified and apprehended this individual before he could carry out his threats against President Trump’s life and the lives of other innocent Americans,” Attorney General Pam Bondi said.
“Rest assured that whenever and wherever threats of assassination or mass violence occur, this Department of Justice will find, arrest, and prosecute the suspect to the fullest extent of the law and seek the maximum appropriate punishment,” she added.
Meta Platforms (META) is going to federal court today for a long-awaited antitrust trial that will force the tech giant to defend its acquisitions of Instagram and WhatsApp. Meta stock was ahead slightly in early trading.
The $1.4 trillion market cap social media titan is accused by the Federal Trade Commission of abusing monopoly power to acquire photo-sharing app Instagram and messaging platform WhatsApp more than a decade ago. The FTC filed the original antitrust lawsuit in 2020 before it spent nearly five years winding through appeals and other motions in the courts.
A federal judge has upheld a Trump Administration policy that allows U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to carry out enforcement operations at churches and other places of worship, representing another major court victory for the administration as it seeks to accelerate its mass deportation operations.
U.S. District Judge Dabney Friedrich, who was appointed by Trump during his first term in the White House, denied a request from more than two dozen Jewish and Christian organizations to block the policy. In a lawsuit brought forward by the groups, they argued that the policy infringes on religious freedom and was causing a drop in attendance at religious services, especially among illegal aliens who fear potential deportation.
“That evidence suggests that congregants are staying home to avoid encountering ICE in their own neighborhoods, not because churches or synagogues are locations of elevated risk,” Friedrich wrote in her ruling.
The Washington-based judge found that the plaintiffs lack standing after finding little evidence that the administration was singling out places of worship. She also rejected the claim that the policy could be blamed for drops in attendance, noting that only a handful of immigration enforcement operations have taken place in and around churches or other places of worship.
California, New York, and Massachusetts were responsible for $305 million of improper payments.
The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has revealed that $382 million in fraudulent unemployment payments have been issued since 2020, with the vast majority traced to the Democrat-led states of California, New York, and Massachusetts.
The three states were responsible for $305 million of improper payments. California alone accounted for 68 percent of benefits issued under former President Joe Biden to parolees flagged by federal authorities as either listed on the government’s terrorist watchlist or possessing criminal records.
“There’s a reason for the mass exodus from Democrat-run states that have mismanaged their economies and driven residents to the nearest Republican-led state,” White House spokesperson Harrison Fields told Fox News. “High taxes, poor stewardship of taxpayer dollars and progressive policies continue to yield negative results, which is why Americans overwhelmingly support the work of DOGE.”
DOGE reported earlier this week that hundreds of millions of fraudulent unemployment benefits went out since 2020 to tens of thousands of recipients. Among the beneficiaries were individuals with birthdays that have not yet occurred, people over 115 years old, and children.
“This is another incredible discovery by the DOGE team, finding nearly $400 million in fraudulent unemployment payments. The Labor Department is committed to recovering Americans’ stolen tax dollars. We will catch these thieves and keep working to root out egregious fraud,” said Labor Department Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer.
In the early hours of Sunday, April 13, 2025, Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro and his family were forced to evacuate their official residence in Harrisburg after an arsonist set fire to the building. The fire broke out around 2 a.m., prompting state police to alert the family. No injuries were reported, but the fire caused significant damage to a portion of the residence.
According to the New York Post, police have arrested a suspect:
Pennsylvania State Police have arrested a Harrisburg man for the arson attack on Gov. Josh Shapiro and his family that sent them fleeing from the governor’s residence on the first night of Passover.
Cody Balmer, 38, of Harrisburg, is expected to face charges of attempted murder, terrorism, aggravated arson, and aggravated assault against an enumerated person, authorities said.
Reuters had more context that the suspect had “homemade incendiary devices in his possession.”
The Governor got emotional during a press conference earlier saying:
“If he was trying to terrorize our family, our friends, the Jewish community, who joined us for a Passover Seder in that room last night, hear me on this: we celebrated our faith last night, proudly and in a few hours, we will celebrate our second Seder of Passover.”
The only Jewish bakery in Strasbourg, France, was surrounded by a coalition of far-left activists and Muslims, who attempted to storm in and lynch the owners and employees.
The horror of it all. On Passover, no less. And Macron’s response? Give ’em a state!
Trump Blasts CBS for More ‘Fake News’ Reporting on Ukraine and Greenland – RedState– redstate.com Source Link Excerpt:
President Donald Trump took to Truth Social to blast CBS for its latest slate of Fake News reporting on the Ukraine War and over a story about Trump’s negotiations concerning Greenland. Trump’s rant was quite detailed, and he went as far as to call for CBS’ broadcast license to be revoked.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — Suspected U.S. airstrikes around Yemen’s rebel-held capital killed at least six people and wounded 26 overnight, the Houthis said Monday as they also claimed shooting down another American MQ-9 Reaper drone.
Since its start nearly a month ago, the intense campaign of U.S. airstrikes under President Donald Trump targeting the rebels over their attacks on shipping in Mideast waters — related to the Israel-Hamas war — has killed over 120 people, according to casualty figures released Monday by the Houthis’ Health Ministry.
Footage aired by the Houthis’ al-Masirah satellite news channel showed firefighters spraying water on a raging fire they described as being sparked by the airstrikes. Rubble littered a street as rescuers carried one person away from the site, which the rebels claimed was a ceramics factory in the Bani Matar neighborhood of Sanaa, the capital.
Beijing — China announced Friday that it will impose a 34% tariff on imports of all U.S. products beginning April 10. The new tariff matches the rate of the U.S. tariff announced by President Trump this week, which he called a “reciprocal” measure, claiming China had tariffs and other measures in place on U.S. goods already that amounted to a 67% trade barrier.
For Mr. Trump’s so-called “Liberation Day” tariffs, the White House used a formula to calculate the sum of all the trade practices it deems unfair from other nations, including currency manipulation, tariffs and other barriers, in reaching its decision on how heavily to tariff almost every other country in the world. Economists have questioned the methodology, and many foreign governments have complained the levies are unfair and misrepresent their trade imbalances with the U.S.
The Commerce Ministry in Beijing also said in a notice that it would impose more export controls on rare earths elements, which are materials used in high-tech products such as computer chips and electric vehicle batteries.
The Chinese government said it would add 27 U.S. companies to lists of firms subject to trade sanctions or export controls. According to China’s tightly controlled media, the expanded export controls would cover seven types of rare earth related items, including samarium, gadolinium, terbium, dysprosium, lutetium, scandium, and yttrium.
World Economic Forum (WEF) founder Klaus Schwab is stepping down as chairman of the globalist organization he created.
Schwab has informed the WEF’s board of trustees that he will “start the process” of stepping down as chair, a spokesperson for the Geneva-based institution revealed on Thursday.
The news comes after Schwab was recently accused of sexual harassment, racism, and misogyny by several female WEF employees.

NUUK, Greenland — Denmark’s prime minister has told the U.S. during a visit to Greenland that “you cannot annex another country,” even with the argument that international security is at stake.
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, meanwhile, said on Friday that Copenhagen “should focus on the fact that the Greenlanders don’t want to be a part of Denmark.”
Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen was wrapping up a three-day visit to the strategically critical Arctic island on Friday as U.S. President Donald Trump seeks control of Greenland. He argues that Greenland, a semiautonomous territory belonging to the Kingdom of Denmark, is critical to U.S. security.
Trump’s sweeping tariffs sent shockwaves through Wall Street, wiping about $3.1 trillion in market value in its largest one-day decline since the Covid pandemic.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 4 percent. The S&P 500 fell 4.8 percent.
And the tech-focused Nasdaq was down 6 percent — fuelled by declines from Apple, Nvidia and Amazon.
The New York stock exchange has closed on its worst day of trading since June 2020 – during the early months of the Covid-19 pandemic.
The main indices saw their worst one-day falls in five years as Donald Trump claimed that “the markets are going to boom” in response to his sweeping tariffs.
The S&P 500 index is down 4.9% at the close, which Reuters flags is the biggest one-day drop since June 2020.
The Dow has also posted its biggest one-day drop since June 2020, down 4%.
Meanwhile, the Nasdaq tumbled 5.9%, its worst single-day performance since March 2020.
The scale of the sell-off, wiping trillions of dollars off the value of US companies, highlights just how alarmed investors are by the tariffs, and the fears they could lead to a recession.
An anonymous Tesla owner in Texas is suing a vandal for $1 million after the man was caught on video keying his Model X.
Rafael Hernandez, 56, was arrested and charged with felony criminal mischief over the weekend for vandalizing the Tesla at DFW airport in March, CBS News Texas reported.
Hernandez is one of countless Democrats who have been caught in recent weeks keying Teslas and harassing Tesla owners to show their disapproval of Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s involvement in the Trump administration.

WASHINGTON — The Trump administration is facing global blowback after announcing a dramatic series of tariffs on countries around the world, with U.S. adversaries and allies alike promising crushing responses that could devastate the American economy.
Stock markets in the United States, Europe and Asia plunged in the aftermath of President Trump’s announcement, which included a 10% base rate hike on nearly all foreign imports. Still other countries and trading blocs, including China, the European Union, South Korea and Japan, were hit with higher rates.
“We’re now preparing for further countermeasures to protect our interests and our businesses if negotiations fail,” Ursula von der Leyen, president of the European Commission, said in remarks late Wednesday evening from Uzbekistan, calling Trump’s announcement “a major blow to the world economy.”
The British trade secretary said that the United Kingdom, one of America’s closest allies with strong ties to the Trump administration, would work over the next month to see whether it could negotiate an exemption from U.S. tariffs, or otherwise deliver retaliatory taxes. The government published a webpage asking businesses for input on identifying which American products the U.K. should implement tariffs on, with the most minimal impact on the British economy.
