American passport holders, green card holders, and service members inbound from the Ebola outbreak region were required to “undergo enhanced public health screening” and were required to enter the U.S. at…

Insufferable NeverTrumper John Bolton has worked out a plea deal and will plead guilty to a single count of “illegal retention of sensitive national security documents,” reports far-left CNN. Bolton was originally charged with “eight counts of transmission of national defense information and 10 counts of retention of national defense information.” A conviction on any of those counts would’ve meant serious jail time. On this one count, although the penalty is up to five years in prison, the deal apparently comes with Bolton agreeing to plead guilty and pay a fine of $2.25 million without jail time.

On June 3, 2026, a Lynchburg Circuit Court judge rejected Attorney General Jay Jones’ (D) request to remove an injunction that prevented universal background checks from being enforced. The initial injunction was issued in the fall of 2025. Ammoland noted that the injunction “prevented the Virginia State Police from enforcing the [checks], determining that [they] violated Article I, Section 13 of the Virginia State Constitution, which protects the right to keep and bear arms.” However, upon taking over the Virginia legislature in January, Democrats pushed through legislation to attempt resumption of the checks and, on May 27, 2026, the Virginia State…
