Gun Shops File Lawsuit Against Colorado’s ‘Warrantless Searches’ and Gun Registry Requirements

A lawsuit brought by firearms dealers in Colorado is challenging a new law which implements “warrantless searches” and requires Federal Firearm License holders (FFLs) to maintain a gun registry.

The Courthouse News Service noted that the plaintiffs in the suit includes “the Centennial Gun Club, five firearms dealers and organizations.”

Defendants are Gov. Jared Polis (D), Attorney General Phil Weiser (D), and Colorado Department of Revenue executive director Heidi Humphreys.

The suit centers on HB26-1126, which Polis signed into law on June 2, 2026. The new law requires an FFL to also have a state firearms permit in order to transfer guns and broadens record-keeping requirements, so as to “apply to all retail transactions.” The record must contain “the name of the person that received the firearm and the recipient’s age and address.” This record-keeping becomes the registry and partial motivator for the current lawsuit.

Under HB26-1126, law enforcement can visit the FFL’s store and check the records and “the dealer shall make the records…available at all times for inspection by a duly authorized peace officer.”

The Courthouse News Service noted that “dealers who refuse to allow their records to be inspected can be charged with a class 2 misdemeanor.”

Moreover, in the lawsuit filed by the Centennial Gun Club and others, plaintiffs claim the searches violate privacy rights: “The Fourth Amendment broadly protects businesses from warrantless searches, including businesses engaged in commerce with customers who exercise no independent constitutional rights.”

Additionally, the lawsuit says: “The regime…injures plaintiffs’ customers, who face the prospect that their lawful firearms purchases will be surveilled without warrant protections, chilling the exercise of constitutionally protected rights.”

Sweden Approves ‘Good Behaviour’ Law, Will Kick Out Migrants Acting Improperly

Behave, or be gone.

Out of all the countries affected by the suicidal Globalist policies allowing for unchecked mass migration, former liberal paradise Sweden may have been the society that changed most drastically.

And now, there is an understanding that the avalanche of robbery, murder, and rape – as catastrophic as it is – is not the only problem assailing their culture.

The basic bad behavior of migrants and the unwillingness to assimilate are fraying the Swedish social fabric just as much.

So, yesterday (15), the Swedish parliament approved a law allowing authorities to revoke immigrants’ residency permits based on bad behavior.

This can mean ‘having unpaid debts, doing undeclared work, or ‌links to extremist organizations.’

Reuters reported:

“The law, which covers pending permits but also retroactively already granted permits, is part of a wider tightening of immigration ​rules by the right-wing government and its support party, ​the nationalist Sweden Democrats, ahead of a parliamentary election ⁠in September.

The law has been criticized by the opposition and ​human rights advocacy groups as arbitrary because decisions would be taken ​on behavior that has not been deemed criminal.

‘The good behavior law leaves people in uncertainty about what actions or expressions can be used against ​them’, Stockholm-based group Civil Rights Defenders said in a statement. It ​undermines the rule of law and the principle of equality before the ‌law.”

Nigerian Court Orders Decertification of Five Opposition Parties Before Election

A Nigerian high court judge on Monday ordered the national election commission to decertify five opposition political parties, including the leading challenger to President Bola Tinubu, the African Democratic Congress (ADC).

The move will leave ballots looking considerably less crowded when the next election is held in January.

ADC immediately rejected the order by Judge Peter Lifu, calling it a “direct invitation to anarchy.”

“We actually don’t think it’s legal. What is unfolding is political. The courts is just the vehicle for promoting the political agenda. Everything is politics. What is at stake is not just the politics of African Democratic Congress, it’s also about the sanity of the judicial institution,” ADC spokesman Bolaji Abdullahi said.

“We have no doubt in our mind that it’s a panicky measure taken in reaction to our announcement that Right Honorable Rotimi Amaechi will be the running mate. So, to kill the momentum of that story, they had to come up with this,” he charged.

Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi is a former state governor and transportation minister who was announced as ADC’s vice presidential candidate on Monday, joining presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar.

Abubakar is a businessman who previously served as vice president from 1999 to 2007. He has run for several offices since then, and says his 2027 presidential race will be his last election. Amaechi was the runner-up in the party primary.

ADC described the alliance of Abubakar and Amaechi as a “unity and rescue ticket” that combines the strengths of “two tested statesmen” who also happen to enjoy political influence in different parts of Nigeria, giving the party a favorable electoral map in the general election.

“Together, Atiku Abubakar and Rotimi Amaechi embody a truly national ticket — one that bridges regions, generations, and political traditions,” party spokesman Abdullahi said when announcing Amaechi’s addition to the ticket.

Judge Lifu’s order was prompted by complaints that the parties did not meet the minimum standards for certification. Under Nigerian law, a party must either hold one elected seat at any level of government or win at least 25 percent of the votes in one Nigerian state during a presidential election to avoid decertification.

Abubakar’s media aide Paul Ibe slammed the ruling as “judicial rascality” and an effort by incumbent President Bola Tinubu to cripple the opposition ahead of the next election.

“The so-called deregistration of the African Democratic Congress, along with other parties, by Justice Peter Lifu may yet be the biggest manifestation of Tinubu’s hell-bent bid to undermine the opposition and entrench a de facto one-party state,” he charged.

ADC national chairman David Mark denounced the judgment as “an arrow fired at the heart of Nigeria’s democracy.”

“The judgement cannot stand. It will be set aside because it does not pass the test of law and due process,” he said.

Ibe and Mark both reassured party supporters that the ADC will be on the ballot in January. “I assure all our candidates, members and supporters that this temporary setback will be overcome through the judicial process,” Mark said.

The INEC itself opposed the lawsuit that was brought to Lifu’s court, dismissing the plaintiffs as “busybodies” and arguing that no ruling should be handed down until pending appeals were resolved.

Lifu countered that the words in the relevant section of the Nigerian constitution are “plain, direct, express and simple and should be given their literal meaning.”

“Proliferation of political parties without any purposeful and intentional design to promote democratic ideals should be discouraged. Any tendency to pollute the political environment by exploiting uninformed members of the electorate must be frowned upon by the court,” he said.

Deal Doubts Arise As Lebanese, Iranian Officials Say US Must Rein In Israel To Secure Regional Peace

Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri and his Iranian counterpart, Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf, held a call earlier, urging the U.S. to compel Israel to end its bloody war on Lebanon, stop home demolitions, and withdraw from occupied Lebanese territory, according to Turkey’s state-run Anadolu Agency.

Iranian officials earlier said that any agreement with the US aimed at peace requires Israel to withdraw its forces from southern Lebanon. 

AA continued:

The call came during a phone call between Berri and Qalibaf in which they discussed the latest regional developments following a US-Iran agreement to end their war all on fronts, including Lebanon, according to the Lebanese state news agency NNA.

The two officials also reviewed “the military and political developments related to the memorandum of understanding between the US and Iran, particularly the clause concerning ending the Israeli war on Lebanon,” the agency said.

They stressed “the need for the United States, the guarantors of the memorandum of understanding and the international community to assume their responsibilities by compelling Israel to end its war, stop demolishing villages, respect Lebanon’s sovereignty and immediately withdraw from the territories it has occupied.”

Meanwhile, I24NEWS Hebrew reporter Guy Azriel wrote on X, “I can now confirm that Israel formally requested access to the Iran MoU and was denied. A remarkable and highly unusual development between close allies on an issue of such critical national security importance.”

Russian Warship Fires ‘Warning Shots’ at British-Flagged Yacht in English Channel

It is believed a Russian Frigate fired at a passing yacht in British waters in the English Channel on Tuesday, prompting the Ministry of Defence to launch an investigation.

The UK Ministry of Defence confirmed they are investigating an incident in the English Channel after a British-flagged yacht reported the Russian frigate Admiral Grigorovich had fired warning shots at it on Tuesday morning.

The incident, if proven, would be the most direct confrontation by a foreign warship off the coast of Britain in many years.

Broadcaster Sky News states the yacht was sailing in the English Channel and that it was fired at when around 500 yards away from the Russian warship. There were no injuries or damage.

The incident is stated to have taken place around 20 nautical miles south of the Isle of Wight, which if correct would be within Britain’s Exclusive Economic Zone waters. Because the English Channel is so narrow, there are no international waters, with British and French maritime domains meeting in the middle.

The waterway is one of the busiest in the world and a traffic separation scheme — a “motorway” for the sea — is established through the centre to minimise the chances of crossing ships colliding. Foreign warships are typically escorted through the Channel and The Financial Times states British offshore patrol vessel HMS Mersey was shadowing the Admiral Grigorovich at the time of the incident. Sailors from the Mersey visited the yacht after the incident to speak to crew and assess if there had been damage.

The Ministry of Defence said “We are investigating reports of an incident in the Channel” but that they would add nothing more while the investigation was taking place. Russia has not yet publicly made any comment on today’s events.

The Admiral Grigorovich has been in and around British waters for months. The ship has been active in escorting Russian tankers through the North Sea, Western Approaches, and English Channel. The commanding officer of HMS Mersey said in May: “Monitoring the movements of RFN Admiral Grigorovich, ensuring the integrity of our waters remains at the forefront of our priorities. As ever, this is a team effort, and the opportunity to operate with our sister ship HMS Tyne is a fine example of the close relationship we have developed between our units.”

Radical Woke Mount Sinai Hospital Exposed: DEI, Child Sex Changes & Epstein Ties Prioritized Over Patients

Consumer protection organization Consumers’ Research began a campaign Monday highlighting New York City-based nonprofit Mount Sinai Hospital‘s prioritization of what Consumers’ calls the hospital’s woke and political ideology as well as having what it says are questionable partnerships such as ties to Jeffrey Epstein.

Executive director of Consumers’ Research Will Hild told The Center Square that “Mount Sinai is another example of a nonprofit hospital that has seemingly abandoned its core mission of patient care in favor of a radical political agenda.”

“The hospital has a history of prioritizing radical causes like DEI, child sex-change procedures, and climate activism, and has maintained a deeply troubling and disturbing relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, accepting donations and giving him special access to doctors and hospital resources,” Hild said.

“This behavior by nonprofit health systems like Mount Sinai should be investigated for supporting these political agendas at taxpayers’ expense,” Hild said.

Hild told The Center Square that “Consumers’ Research is exposing nonprofit hospitals for using taxpayer dollars and federal revenue streams and benefits to put politics over patients.”

“Taxpayers and elected officials need to be aware that health systems are misusing their resources and these practices need to be examined by lawmakers,” Hild said.

Mount Sinai media relations has not yet responded to The Center Square’s request for comment.

Included in Consumers’ Research’s campaign are a mobile billboard circling the Mount Sinai campus, a website, and “targeted digital around Capitol Hill.”

The mobile billboard displays statements such as Mount Sinai “performed over 130 sex change procedures on kids,” “provides transgender resources for 8-year-olds,” and has ties to Epstein.

Consumers’ Research’s website campaign goes further in depth, showcasing the hospital’s diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, transgender ideology promotion, climate activism and “questionable partnerships.”

According to the campaign, Mount Sinai operates an Office for Health Data, Outcomes, and Engagement Strategy “to promote health equity cultural awareness.”

O’Keefe Media Group Goes Undercover, Infiltrates New Jersey Antifa – Identifies Members

An O’Keefe Media Group journalist went undercover for eight months and infiltrated New Jersey Antifa.

The journalist infiltrated the private Signal chats of a group known as “NJ BURN.”

“Inside the group’s Signal chats, members discussed plans for port blockades, riot activity, support networks for criminal defendants, and celebrated acts of political violence. Using names, profile photos, and digital receipts, OMG traced individuals to positions throughout some of America’s most influential organizations,” James O’Keefe said.

Inside the Signal “NJ BURN” chat included a Rutgers University Director, T-Mobile AI leaders and more.

The chat members celebrated Charlie Kirk’s murder and hoped that Trump would be assassinated.

NJ ANTIFA INDIVIDUALS IDENTIFIED:
• Alexyss P. – New Jersey Coalition Against Sexual Assault Community Council Member @NJ_CASA

• Jim Keady @JWKeady – Former New Jersey Democratic Candidate

• Woojin Ko – OpenAI Research Engineer @OpenAI

• Celine Semaan @celinecelines – Co-Founder Slow Factory Labs @theslowfactory

Per OMG:

Some messages in the Signal chats showed these individuals celebrating Charlie Kirk’s assassination and hoped that the past attempts on President Trump were successful.

The American people deserve to know when individuals involved in activist networks also hold positions within institutions that shape public policy, technology, education, and culture.

These are not simply anonymous individuals organizing online. OMG identified numerous individuals and organizations connected to members of the NJ BURN network and reached out to them for comment. We will update our reporting with any responses we receive.

The identities referenced in this report are based on evidence gathered during our investigation, including social media activity, public records, and other corroborating information. Some identifications remain unknown, and additional information may emerge following publication.

15 Tied To Antifa Charged With Violently Interfering With ICE Operations In Minnesota

Fifteen suspects are accused of conspiring with two Minneapolis-based Antifa groups to violently interfere with federal immigration enforcement, authorities announced on Tuesday.

Daniel Rosen, who heads the U.S. attorney’s office for Minnesota, told reporters at his Minneapolis headquarters on June 16 that agents arrested 12 of the 15 suspects; one was already in custody for other offenses.

Two defendants remain at large. Rosen said both are aware that federal agents are seeking them in connection with an indictment that was unsealed just before the news conference.

“We expect they will surrender peacefully,” he said.

The 15 suspects—all from Minnesota—are charged with conspiracy to impede or injure a federal officer, solicitation to commit a crime of violence, interstate threats, interstate stalking, assault on a federal officer, and destruction of government property.

“These defendants have been charged not for what they said, but for what they did. They all joined an agreement, a conspiracy to interfere with lawful immigration enforcement operations,” Rosen said.

“The conspiracy was not to interfere by their voice, but to do it by force. That’s a crime, and it will not be tolerated in the United States.”

A group called “Direct Action Minnesota” is tied to many of the allegations, Rosen said, while another group, Black Cat Workers Collective, is connected to other allegations

The new cases are part of a “broad federal effort to address organized lawless behavior,” he said.

Michael McCarthy, special agent in charge of Homeland Security Investigations, said the announcement followed “a thorough and months-long investigation into a deeply concerning trend—coordinated violence targeting federal law enforcement officers and facilities.”

“There is a clear line that cannot be crossed” between peaceful protesting and violence, he said, adding, “some groups have crossed that line.”

He noted that many of the violent actions opposed U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations.

The new charges were filed months after President Donald Trump’s administration announced that it was probing Antifa groups.

“Ready for Any Bulsh*t Maneuver” – Election Denier Democrats Claim Trump “Plans on Rigging” 2026 Elections, Announce New “Election Security Task Force”

The Democrats are preparing their own stop-the-steal efforts for this November’s midterm elections, announcing a new “Election Security Task Force” to stop Trump from “rigging” the midterms.

In a clip reminiscent of last year’s stunt by the “Seditious Six” Democratic lawmakers, who advised US Service Members to defy President Trump’s orders, a different six-pack of Democrats is vowing to stand up to efforts by “Trump and his MAGA friends” to rig the midterms.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), and Democratic Senators Raphael Warnock (GA), Mark Warner (VA), Alex Padilla (CA), Dick Durbin (IL), and Adam Schiff (CA) starred in the video to announce “the most expansive protective effort for voting and elections that our caucus has ever undertaken.”

“Donald Trump says he doesn’t care about the midterms,” Warnock says before the video cuts to Schumer, adding, “because he plans on rigging them.”

“They know voters are going to hold him accountable this November,” Warner says. Warnock adds, “And they know their only way to win is to cheat.”

“We’re standing up for our democracy, and we will defend our free and fair elections,” Padilla says. “This is why we’ve launched the most expansive protective effort for voting and elections that our caucus has ever undertaken,” Durbin continues.

“Over the next five months, our Election Security Task Force will be meeting with top experts, planning for every possible threat and taking nothing for granted,” Schumer says.

“We will be ready for any attempt for voter suppression, any other bullshit maneuver that Trump and his MAGA friends will use to try to rig our elections,” says Warner.

Shifty Schiff concludes the message, saying, “Elections belong to American voters, not to Donald Trump.”

Paraquat poison: The toxic herbicide still killing Americans while EPA looks the other way

In this quiet southeast corner of the state, home to roughly 20,000 people surrounded by forest and farmland, a deadly secret hangs in the air. The Sipcam Agro plant here processes the toxic herbicide paraquat, making it the largest single emitter of the chemical in the entire United States. And the residents are paying the price with their lives.

Wayne County’s Parkinson’s disease death rate ranks in the top 7% of all U.S. counties reporting such deaths between 2018 and 2024. This is no coincidence. The evidence linking paraquat to Parkinson’s — the world’s fastest-growing incurable neurodegenerative disease — has accumulated for decades, yet the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency continues to allow this poison on American soil.

A history of corporate deception

The story of paraquat reads like a criminal conspiracy. Syngenta and its corporate predecessors knew about the dangers as early as the 1950s, when Imperial Chemical Industries researchers found that paraquat caused central nervous system damage in lab animals. Internal documents now emerging in court show company executives worried about long-term liability as early as the 1980s.

Chevron, which once partnered with Syngenta to sell paraquat, left the business in 1986. While the company claims market forces drove this decision, internal memos reveal top executives were terrified of the legal consequences. Canadian researchers had already found an “extraordinarily high correlation” between Parkinson’s disease and paraquat use.

The EPA’s capture by industry

The EPA’s track record with toxic chemicals speaks for itself. After previously seeking public comment on banning paraquat in 2019 and recommending restrictions on aerial applications, the agency reversed course in 2021, re-registering the poison for 15 more years. The decision was based largely on evidence provided by the Agricultural Handler Exposure Task Force — an industry advocacy group founded by none other than Syngenta.

This is the same pattern we’ve seen with glyphosate, PFAS and countless other hazardous chemicals. The revolving door between industry and regulatory agencies ensures that profits come before public health. Kelsey Barnes, now a senior adviser to USDA Secretary Brooke Rollins, was previously a manager of federal government relations for Syngenta.
