New Mexico Governor Responds to Judge Blocking Controversial Gun Control Order
A federal judge blocked parts of a controversial gun measure from New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham Wednesday, but she is not backing down.
U.S. District Judge David Urias temporarily blocked the law, arguing that the executive order runs contrary to recent U.S. Supreme Court rulings on gun rights and violates people’s abilities to defend themselves.

Paul Krugman in La-La Land: ‘Economic Data Have Been Surreally Good’
When it was revealed Sept. 12 that the U.S. poverty rate spiked in 2022 for the first time in 13 years, President Joe Biden’s mouthpiece at The New York Times had some egg on his face. New York Times columnist Paul Krugman made an absurd, tone-deaf claim during a Sept. 12 appearance on CNN International and PBS’s Amanpour: “The economic data have been surreally good. I mean even optimists are just stunned by how quickly and how painlessly inflation has come down. No hint of a recession at least so far,” said Krugman, ahead of a bad inflation report that dropped on Sept. 13.He found a willing ear in CNN Chief International Anchor Christiane Amanpour, who did not push back against his idea that the “economic data” is “surreally good” nor his argument that the economic data is better than Americans feel that it is. But this is to be expected, given that her network has a documented obsession with relentlessly pushing “Bidenomics” on the airwaves. It’s unclear what planet Krugman is living on. The Tipp Insights Editorial Board noted Sept. 14 that prices have spiked 16.7 percent since Biden first took office. In addition, “More than six out of every ten (61%) Americans live paycheck to paycheck. American credit card debt has surged by 38%, increasing from $743.5 billion in the first quarter of 2021 to a recent total of $1.031 trillion.” A new Investor’s Business Daily/TIPP Poll also found that 54 percent of Americans say their “wages have not kept up with inflation.”If that wasn’t bad enough, the U.S. Census Bureau released a report the same day of Krugman’s propaganda showing that the U.S. poverty rate — based on the Supplemental Poverty Measure (SPM) — increased 4.6 percentage points to 12.4 percent in 2022, “its first increase since 2010,” as The Hill summarized. The Bureau also noted that “[t]he SPM child poverty rate more than doubled, from 5.2% in 2021 to 12.4% in 2022.” The SPM rates for people between 18 and 64 years old and 65 years and older also spiked, the Bureau said. But the “economic data have been surreally good,” eh Krugman?Krugman, who continues to prove why his Nobel prize was a textbook case of parody,, was not finished. He claimed that inflation was “not too far from the target of 2% and under 3% by most measures. And all of that just achieved painlessly, so this is great, this is a goldilocks economy.” His timing couldn’t have been worse. The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) would release a damning report the next day showing that inflation spiked a hotter-than-expected 3.7 percent year-over-year in August, a jump from the 3.2 percent increase in July. Then, on September 14, the BLS published another report on Sept. 14 showing that producer prices surged a more-than-expected 1.6 percent year-over in August. Heritage Foundation economist EJ Antoni tweeted that the producer prices report alone confirms “that in Aug inflation pulled the stake out of its chest, loosed a blood-curdling roar, and renewed its assault on your wallet.” And what do you think will happen to core CPI once higher energy prices filter through to the rest of the economy? Core CPI last year didn’t spike until 3 months after CPI did. What a clueless take – disgrace to the profession. https://t.co/NJ2DH1zWPB— E.J. Antoni, Ph.D. (@RealEJAntoni) September 13, 2023But Krugman proceeded to lecture that Americans just don’t know good they have it, saying that “people say its a terrible economy, but what’s really odd is that people don’t behave as if its a terrible economy.” Inflation is still surging🔴 August CPI is 3.7%🔴 Gas Prices up 10.6%🔴 Energy prices jump 5.6%🔴 Shelter index rose for 40th consecutive month pic.twitter.com/qk1rYnfM97— Media Research Center (@theMRC) September 13, 2023Krugman has been a relentless cheerleader of Bidenomics, as the Biden administration hamstrings American energy and heaps costs and regulations upon appliances Americans depend on. Either Krugman is just that detached from reality or he is just a pathological spreader of falsehoods.Conservatives are under attack! Contact The New York Times at 800-698-4637 and demand it distance itself from Krugman’s shilling for Bidenomics.

40,000 Fulton County Criminal Cases ‘Frozen’ Because Fani Willis ‘Blindly’ Pursuing Trump, Says Former Sen. Kelly Loeffler
During an appearance on "The John Fredericks Show" on Thursday, former Georgia Sen. Kelly Loeffler said the criminal justice system of Fulton County is "frozen," with the county jail overcrowded and 40,000 criminal cases in the backlog, because District Attorney Fani Willis is "blindly" pursuing her cases against former President Donald Trump and those who helped him contest the 2020 election.
Loeffler told host John Fredericks, the publisher of The Georgia Star News, that Willis’s actions suggest "a two tiered system of justice" and said the Georgia Legislature should encourage the Prosecuting Attorneys Qualifications Commission (PAQC) to fully investigate Willis, including how she is spending taxpayer money.

What the Terrorists Could Not Take, Americans Are Giving Up
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – It’s hard to believe it’s been 22 years. Then again, it seems many Americans have forgotten that 19 terrorists tried to destroy what made America great. Our freedom and the advantages it gives us were attacked on Sept. 11th, 2001, by terrorists from overseas. Today, our freedoms are under attack by our fellow citizens. When we think about attacks on our liberty, we often think about…

Berkeley Constitutional Law Professor John Yoo Testifies at Disbarment Trial of John Eastman That Vice Presidents Can Reject Electoral Slates
The disbarment trial of former President Donald Trump’s former attorney and constitutional legal scholar, John Eastman, started its fifth week with testimony from Eastman’s star witness, Berkeley Constitutional Law professor John Yoo. The State Bar of California contends that Eastman gave Trump advice when he said one option to deal with the allegations of election fraud in disputed states was to have former Vice President Mike Pence refuse to accept the electoral slates from those states or delay their certification, but Yoo said the majority of scholarship on the issue agrees with Eastman’s position.
