Illegal Aliens Saturating State Of Montana Thanks To Joe Biden

GREAT FALLS — Two men from Honduras appeared in court today on immigration-related charges after U.S. Border Patrol agents arrested them and detained others following a suspected illegal border crossing from Canada into Montana, near Sweetgrass, U.S. Attorney Leif M. Johnson said.

Jorge Orellana-Banegas, 23, and his uncle, Jose Eugenio Banegas-Torres, 38, both Honduran citizens, had initial appearances on criminal complaints accusing each of illegal transport of aliens and conspiracy to transport aliens.

A criminal complaint is only an accusation, and a defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.

U.S. Magistrate Judge John T. Johnston presided. Both defendants were detained pending further proceedings.

The government alleged in court documents that at 11:45 p.m. on May 22, a group of eight individuals illegally crossed into the United States from Canada west of Sweetgrass. Border Patrol agents observed the group walk through an area known as “Buckley Coulee” and get into a 2021 Nissan Armada that was parked on Loop Road. An agent drove toward the vehicle to attempt an immigration stop and activated his lights and siren as the Nissan increased speed. The Nissan drove off the road and into Buckley Coulee and then went through a fence before stopping. All of the vehicle’s occupants got out and ran in multiple directions although an agent identified himself and gave commands in English and Spanish to stop. Agents chased the occupants on foot and caught five of the individuals. Agents searched the area for four outstanding individuals but did not find them.

Five of the individuals who were caught were transported to the Sweetgrass Border Patrol Station for processing. Four of the individuals claimed to be citizens of Mexico and one was a Honduran citizen.

The next day, a Border Patrol agent responded to a call of a suspicious person walking and hitch hiking south of Sunburst and located Orellana, who was transported to the Sweetgrass Station.

The government further alleged that an investigation determined Orellana was the driver and that his uncle, Banegas-Torres, was the smuggling guide. In all, six suspects were transported to the Sweetgrass Border Patrol Station for processing. Three other suspects in the crossing have not been located.

Oscar Enrique Ruiz Rojas, 25, of Gallatin Gateway, on charges of alien in possession of a firearm. If convicted of the most serious crime, Rojas faces maximum of 15 years in prison, a $250,000 fine and three years of supervised release. Rojas was detained pending further proceedings. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and Drug Enforcement Administration conducted the investigation.

Efren Zanabriga Zuniga, 35, of Oaxaca, Mexico, on charges of production of child pornography, transportation of child pornography and receipt of child pornography. If convicted of the most serious crime, Zuniga faces a mandatory minimum of 15 years to 30 years in prison, a $250,000 fine and five years to life of supervised release. Zuniga was detained pending further proceedings. Homeland Security Investigations and the Missoula Police Department investigated the case.

Feds Punish Carson & Barnes For Elephant Escape After Tip-Off from PETA

Butte, Mont. — Escape that, Carson & Barnes! After PETA notified the U.S. Department of Agriculture that an elderly elephant named Viola escaped from Jordan World Circus while in town for a performance last month, the feds cited her exhibitor, the notorious Carson & Barnes Circus, for not properly securing her and failing to protect her from potential injury.

“This abused elephant’s bid for freedom is the latest sign that animals must be removed from circuses—for their own safety andthe public’s protection,” says PETA Foundation Director of Captive Animal Welfare Debbie Metzler. “PETA is calling on everyone to leave Carson & Barnes and Jordan World Circus with empty arenas until they go animal-free and send all the exploited animals in their clutches to reputable sanctuaries.”

PETA notes that Viola has escaped at least twice before—in 2010 and 2014—and in 2021, a PETA investigation revealed that she was being forced to perform daily despite having chronically swollen feet and showing signs of other ailments that impacted her rear legs. Carson & Barnes has been cited for more than 100 violations of the federal Animal Welfare Act.

PETA—whose motto reads, in part, that “animals are not ours to use for entertainment”—points out that Every Animal Is Someoneand offers free Empathy Kits for people who need a lesson in kindness. For more information, please visit PETA.org or follow the group on X, Facebook, or Instagram.

What Biden And Democrats Will Soon Face As They Have turned Their Back on GOD

“I will bring on you sudden terror, wasting diseases and fever that will destroy your sight and sap your strength.  You will plant seed in vain, because your enemies will eat it.  I will set My face against you so that you will be defeated by your enemies; those who hate you will rule over you, and you will flee even when no one is pursuing you.”  (Leviticus 26:16–17)

The Poor Man’s Safety Deposit Box

The Poor Man’s Safety Deposit Box
Written by :Marc Kelley
Regardless of where you stand on ownership, the subject of firearms has always brought intense emotions to the discussion. America and more specifically the American people have since the beginning, used firearms to hunt, defend themselves, and as a form of currency. It was firearms which America herself used as a means of economic survival following the War for Independence. As our nation struggled to find our footing economically, it was imperative we find a vehicle for obtaining financial wealth. The fact that the U.S. Government was instrumental in incubating the firearms industry we know today, is often overlooked by current day gun grabbers; and, is yet another example of an “uncomfortable truth”…. firearms have always been a part of the fabric of our nation.
The names: Winchester, Colt, and Springfield, are deeply steeped in American tradition and the development of our nation’s economy. As difficult as it may seem today, it was in fact Congress who established America’s first two national armory’s. In 1794, recognizing America would need weapons to defend our fledgling nation, it was George Washington himself who brought to life the Springfield Armory in Massachusetts. Just four years later in 1798 the Harpers Ferry Armory opened for business in West Virginia and the American firearms industry became reality.
As the push for increased weapons manufacturing and a streamlining of the industry was demanded by Congress, our beloved politicians failed once again to understand the blue collar working man. Gunsmiths have always been a unique breed of individual. They worked at their own pace, came and went as they saw fit, and have always seen the tools of their trade as a means to provide for their family. Production of firearms was their craft and they produced their guns by hand, one at a time on their benches. Many refused to work on Sunday giving honor and thanks to the Good Lord, and after church they gathered with friends and family showing off their skills with both tool and powder.
When the world descended into chaos in 1914 and America entered the Great War, once again it would be Americans: John Browning, Oliver Winchester, Horace Smith and Daniel Wesson who would answer the call. In 1914 more than two million rifles would be produced by Remington at the Ilion, N.Y. factory. In 1939 when the world once again caught fire and brought the U.S. into the war that followed the War to end all Wars, yet another group of American’s retooled their factories and plants. Businesses which once produced typewriters, farm equipment, and juke boxes would begin producing the weapons America needed to fight against Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan.
Yet somehow in 2020, the firearms industry has seemingly outlived its usefulness. Since the moment Joe Biden stepped into the White House, he began an intense ideological attack on the 2nd Amendment and the lawful gun-owners across our great land. We have been labeled a great many things by the Biden Administration…. insurrectionist’s, deplorable’s, white supremacist’s, hillbilly’s and the latest descriptor… clowns. The Democrats view gun owners, not as patriots contributing to and loving our nation; but rather, extremists, clinging to our guns and our Bibles. They never miss an opportunity to rush to the bright lights of the media’s camera and disparage gun owners as representing not what is best about America; but rather, describing us as the greatest threat facing our nation today. 
From the earliest days of Tammany Hall in the 1800’s the Democrat Party has never attempted to disguise their corruption nor their disdain for the working class men and women of America. Corruption at the ballot box, as well as in the jury box has now become part of the party platform. Believing now that power has been achieved, the party must, by any means necessary, hold onto that power. In typical Biden fashion, it is through the weaponization of our legal system, executive actions, and policy changes to existing ATF/ FBI policies, he chooses to make life as miserable as possible for lawful gun owners, while ignoring the very things necessary to keep guns out of the hands of criminals and those hell bent of delivering anarchy to America. By his own hand, Biden has accomplished the one thing that the Government does best….take something simple and complicate it.
Living through COVID-19 taught America many things which our people will never forget. Not only did our government infringe upon our civil liberties, they did so by selling us a steaming pile of what Joe Biden calls “malarky”. By capitalizing on the greed of a Healthcare Industry willing to trade decades of goodwill and trust for a few gold coins, the great COVID lie was put into place. This betrayal has resulted in the first decrease in American life expectancy in over 120 years. Many parents are now refusing to get their children the vaccines which allowed America to eliminate such devastating illnesses as: Smallpox, Polio, Measles, Mumps, and Rubella. Americans across all demographics are refusing to schedule annual checkups, and even worse are choosing to suffer the ravages of disease, simply because they no longer trust our healthcare system. It is from these lessons we have learned to be wary of any government agency who is charged with making America a safer, healthier, and more prosperous nation.
As one of his first acts as President, Joe Biden did exactly what his campaign had promised…systematically ban, restrict, tax, and criminalize gun ownership. Utilizing executive orders and changes to FBI and ATF policies, Biden used the full power of the U.S. Government to begin attacking the 2nd Amendment and more specifically the Gun Industry itself. Disguising heavy handed attacks on lawful gunners, the Biden Administration began implementing what they termed as “Common Sense Gun Reform”. The first target was the elimination of existing Federal Firearms License holders. Biden sold the American people the idea that it was “rogue FFL dealers” who were to blame for trafficking illegal weapons to criminals and drug cartels alike. By implementing their “zero tolerance policy”, the Biden DOJ began revoking the licenses of existing FFL holders for grounds which had always been considered by the ATF, as “simple bookkeeping and unintentional errors.” In just three years the rate of license revocation saw an increase of 88%. After punishing the small Mom and Pop gun shop’s who could not afford to fight the Federal Government, Biden moved on to gun ownership by the general public. Biden’s next order was to “Name and Shame” gun owners. The FBI’s National Tracing Center is responsible for tracking the sale and transfer of firearms which are stolen or used in a crime and recovered by law enforcement. The idea was to prove it was the “private sale” of firearms which were conducted by non-licensed individuals that provided firearms to criminals and otherwise prohibited individuals. When the media caught wind of this, somehow mystically and magically the names of private citizens linked to this type of sale were leaked and published as a form of modern day shunning. As the fruits of their labors proved effective in removing the gun rights of private individuals, the Biden Administration began pressuring the banking industry to turn over personal credit card information on people who used a credit card to purchase firearms, ammunition, and accessories to the DOJ. This action was taken without a court order or warrant; and, in and of itself helped to criminalize the concept of private gun ownership. Everything was going as planned and everyday Americans were losing their livelihoods; as well as, the firearms they had possessed for decades and were handed down from one generation to the next. Virtually overnight, the actions of private individuals who had used firearms as a sort of savings account, having bought guns when they had money and selling guns when they needed money, became an illegal act. Gun Shows were targeted and resources which could have been used to fight real crime, were now utilized to harvest the low hanging fruit of the unsuspecting gun owner.
Once again, the truth has been revealed and the Government simply cannot hide from reality. On April 8, 2024, the Department of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives released the final draft outlining their findings in a report five years in the making. In the report the Government itself identified the exact causes of illegal firearms trafficking. Over the five year period 9,708 cases of illegal gun trafficking were examined. The ATF’s report found just 136 cases of illegal firearm trafficking tied to an FFL dealer over a five year period. That’s just 1.6 percent of all 9,700 cases. To put that into a more specific perspective, there were 134,516 FFL holders at the end of 2021. That equates to just 0.1 percent of all FFLs being implicated in allegedly illegal firearm trafficking before Joe Biden instituted his whole-of-government crackdown on firearm ownership.Conversely, the ATF report identifies “Straw Purchases” (buying a firearm for another individual) and “Private Sales” to an individual without conducting a background check account for 80% of their cases load while the remaining 20% is represented by stolen firearms.
Given the fact the penalty for illegally trafficking firearms is punishable by up to 15 years in prison and a $ 250,000.00 fine. It does not take a genius to understand the real need to have a relationship with your local FFL Dealer. For centuries American’s of all stripes have used firearms as a “poor man’s safety deposit box.” Joe Biden can try as hard as he wants to paint lawful gun owners as criminals, but as we say in Montana….that dog won’t hunt.

America has now reached the banks of the Rubicon, and we have before us a stark reality and undeniable truth. You can either own your firearms or support the Democrat Party….but, you cannot do both. Leaving only one question unanswered…Who is the clown now Joe?

SCOTUS Rules Unanimously for NRA in Free Speech Case

SCOTUS Rules Unanimously for NRA in Free Speech Case
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 9-0 in favor of the National Rifle Association (NRA) in NRA v. Vullo which “plausibly alleged” that New York state financial authorities violated the First Amendment by coercing insurance companies to cut ties with the NRA as punishment for its “gun-promotion advocacy.”
The majority opinion, authored by Justice Sonya Sotomayor, cited Liberty Counsel’s 9-0 win in Shurtleff v. City of Boston. Justice Sotomayor wrote that while the “ballot box” is usually the first check on government speech, in this case the better check is the First Amendment which “prohibits government officials from wielding their power selectively to punish or suppress speech” through third parties. 
In the opinion, the Justices reaffirmed previous rulings that government officials may not coerce private third parties to suppress speech it disfavors, such as in this case the NRA’s pro-Second Amendment viewpoint.
“Six decades ago, this Court held that a government entity’s ‘threat of invoking legal sanctions and other means of coercion’ against a third party ‘to achieve the suppression’ of disfavored speech violates the First Amendment,” wrote Justice Sotomayor. “Today, the Court reaffirms what it said then: Government officials cannot attempt to coerce private parties in order to punish or suppress views that the government disfavors.”
Justice Sotomayor added the NRA “plausibly alleges” Vullo “did just that.” 
In the case, the NRA alleges that in 2017 and 2018, Maria Vullo, then superintendent of New York’s Department of Financial Services (DFS), cut a coercive deal with the company insuring the NRA. The deal allegedly involved the DFS not imposing penalties for uncovered insurance infractions committed by the company “in exchange” for ceasing business with gun groups. According to the High Court’s summary of the factual allegations, Vullo’s deal with Lockton, Chubb, and Lloyd included the insurers admitting to its violations and then “instruct[ing] its syndicates to cease underwriting firearm-related policies” and “scale back its NRA-related business.” In exchange, the DFS would focus its enforcement actions “solely” on other companies serving the NRA committing the same infractions while “ignore[ing] other syndicates writing similar policies.” The NRA brought First Amendment claims against Vullo and the DFS for censorship and retaliation. 
Justice Sotomayor wrote, “The mes­sage was therefore loud and clear: Lloyd’s ‘could avoid lia­bility for [unrelated] infractions’ if it ‘aided DFS’s campaign against gun groups’ by terminating its business relationships with them,” wrote Justice Sotomayor. “As alleged, Vullo’s communications with Lloyd’s can be reasonably understood as a threat or as an inducement. Either of those can be coercive.”
While the U.S. Second Circuit Court of Appeals ruled to dismiss the case in favor of Vullo stating she was entitled to qualified immunity and that her actions were part of legitimate regulatory activity and permissible government speech, the High Court disagreed. Justice Sotomayor wrote that Vullo was free to “forcefully” share her views and criticize other beliefs in “hopes of persuading others,” but that Vullo’s power as a government official could not go beyond those things.
The Supreme Court’s decision overturns the Second Circuit’s dismissal allowing the NRA to proceed with its First Amendment claims in a lawsuit against Vullo in a lower court.  Liberty Counsel’s Founder and Chairman Mat Staver said, “This is another 9-0 victory for free speech from the Supreme Court. Government officials cannot use their power to cancel an advocacy organization simply because they disfavor its viewpoint and advocacy. Coercion and retaliation are offensive to the First Amendment and they have no place in government speech.”
