Billionaire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/kanye-west" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kanye West</a> and The Daily Wire&#8217;s <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/show/candace" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Candace Owens</a> shocked the internet this week when they donned “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-17-white-lives-matter-2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">White Lives Matter</a>” apparel at Paris Fashion Week — and further enraged the media, brainwashed celebs, and cultural gatekeepers when they refused to back down.
At a time when Big Tech, American institutions, and the State are tightening its grip on policing thoughts and actions, West and Owens&#8217; &#8220;White Lives Matter&#8221; moment is actually not about provocation, but a strong signal that the Left&#8217;s policing doesn&#8217;t have to be tolerated.

Because the Left has unfortunately created strict parameters for our famous and racial and ethnic groups, West and Owens bucking norms is uniquely attention-grabbing, and uniquely challenging.
With West, his impressive success is supposed to be conditioned by his public political statements. We&#8217;ve seen actors and performers ostracized from their careers for daring to voice any out-of-narrative view at all; it&#8217;s just not allowed. The &#8220;Donda&#8221; rapper is supposed to be hamstrung by his race, too. A black man is not supposed to look at a Republican, let alone wear a MAGA hat in the Oval office with Donald Trump, or wear a t-shirt that says white lives matter. And, most importantly, our rich and famous can say they believe in God, sure, but they can&#8217;t believe in or live out Biblical truths.

Notably, the fashion designer was never called crazy or attacked by our elites when he was ridiculing conservatives, or when he was engaging in truly ungodly behavior. But when he went off script, the attacks were constant.
Lucky for West, and for common folks, it seems he&#8217;s just too big to fail.
<a href="https://get.dailywire.com/the-greatest-lie/subscribe-v2?utm_campaign=greatestlie&amp;utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=email&amp;utm_content=publicity&amp;cid=greatestlie&amp;mid=e&amp;xid=0&amp;_gl=1*1h0q1ro*_ga*MjA1NDI4NTExNy4xNjY0OTEwNDc2*_ga_CZKR9ZYKJP*MTY2NTA4MjkwMS45LjEuMTY2NTA5MjIxNS4xOC4wLjA" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CLICK HERE TO FIND OUT HOW TO WATCH “THE GREATEST LIE EVER SOLD”</a>
Owens&#8217; parameters are similar to West&#8217;s but not exactly the same. As a black person, especially one in politics, Owens is not supposed to challenge the Democrat Party narrative. Black folks who are out-of-step with the narrative will be smeared with nasty racial insults, like being called an &#8220;Uncle Tom&#8221; or told they aren&#8217;t black enough. And as a young woman, Owens, 33, is also not supposed to stand up for the unborn; she&#8217;s supposed to be a feminist helping Planned Parenthood bring in cash, which will in turn <a href="https://www.opensecrets.org/political-action-committees-pacs/planned-parenthood/C00314617/candidate-recipients/2020" target="_blank" rel="noopener">fund more Democrats</a>. Her defiance — not only blunt but backed by meticulous research — is an extra hard slap in the face to these established norms.
So when West and Owens emblazoned something so simple and true, yet so out-of-narrative on their shirts like &#8220;White Lives Matter,&#8221; the Left panicked, and then quickly attacked. The pair were accused of anti-black <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/kanye-west-white-lives-matter-shirt-candace-owens-fashion-show-backlash/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">racism</a> and even <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/rb-hip-hop/kanye-west-blasted-ahmaud-arbery-mother-white-lives-matter-shirt-1235151367/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">violence</a>, among other absurd transgressions.
But they did not recoil, which was the ultimate signal that the Left&#8217;s grip on policing can be slipped.
West, for example, on Instagram <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/kanye-west-calls-black-lives-matter-a-scam-declares-it-over-after-wearing-white-lives-matter-shirt-with-candace-owens" target="_blank" rel="noopener">declared</a> the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement a &#8220;scam&#8221; and officially “over.” “Everyone knows that Black Lives Matter was a scam,” he posted to his nearly 18 million followers. “Now it’s over, you’re welcome.”

He also told Fox News host Tucker Carlson that abortion, largely at the hands of racist Planned Parenthood, is a genocide on black people.
Owens, too, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-17-white-lives-matter-2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">has refused to back down</a>, challenging critics to stop focusing on the shirt and instead on real threats to the black community, like abortion, obesity, the breakdown of the family, and black-on-black crime.
“If ‘black lives matter,’ then some of these things that we have been talking about on this show, things I’ve been talking about throughout my entire political career, would be getting attention, not the t-shirt,” Owens <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-17-white-lives-matter-2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> on her podcast Tuesday.
Some might be quick to criticize West and Owens for only going provocation, but they couldn&#8217;t be more wrong; the message and the pair&#8217;s subsequent statements are far deeper, and far more important.

Billionaire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/kanye-west" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kanye West</a> on Thursday posted video of Fox News host Tucker Carlson visiting his Yeezy office on Thursday.
In video taken by West, Carlson is offered tastes of two new drinks created by the entrepreneur and shown a pair of 3D-printed boots West said will &#8220;change the game.&#8221;
&#8220;Tucker Carlson stopped by the new Yeezy Office. Fun,&#8221; West captioned video of the visit. &#8220;God is Good.&#8221;

West has refused to toe the Democrat Party line for years, most notably meeting with President Donald Trump in 2018 wearing a &#8220;Make America Great Again&#8221; hat, and tweeting, &#8220;I love the way Candace Owens thinks,&#8221; the same year.
More recently, West, alongside Daily Wire host Candace Owens, donned shirts with the phrase “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/paris-provocateurs-kanye-west-candace-owens-rock-white-lives-matter-shirts-at-fashion-show" target="_blank" rel="noopener">White Lives Matter</a>” emblazoned on their backs, setting the internet on fire.
Despite some loud critics and a threat from Adidas to drop him, West defended his attire and slammed the Black Lives Matter movement as a &#8220;scam.&#8221;
“Everyone knows that Black Lives Matter was a scam,” the 45-year-old posted to Instagram, where he has nearly 18 million followers. “Now it’s over. You’re welcome.”
The BLM movement has opposed law enforcement while promoting other radical ideas, like the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/black-lives-matter-what-we-believe-page-disrupt-the-western-prescribed-nuclear-family-dismantle-cisgender-privilege" target="_blank" rel="noopener">disruption of the nuclear family</a>.
“We are unapologetically Black in our positioning,” the group’s “what we believe” page said. “In affirming that Black Lives Matter, we need not qualify our position. To love and desire freedom and justice for ourselves is a prerequisite for wanting the same for others.”

Moreover, the fashion designer last month made headlines when he took aim at the validity of the holiday Kwanzaa, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/kanye-what-the-f-is-kwanzaa-and-who-made-that-bulls-up" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Daily Wire</a> reported.
“They teach black kids Kwanzaa at Sierra Canyon,” West <a href="https://www.complex.com/music/kanye-west-asks-what-is-kwanzaa-who-made-that-up">said</a> in a now-deleted post, referring to a private school in Chatsworth. “What the f*** is Kwanzaa and who made that bulls*** up? Everyone lives in LA for the check anyway so no one really cares about their children being indoctrinated.”
Kwanzaa was created by black activist Maulana Karenga in 1966; in 1971, he was <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/marjorie-taylor-greene-calls-kwanzaa-fake-religion-created-psychopath-1663305">convicted</a> of felonious assault and false imprisonment. He currently serves as chairman of the Africana Studies Department at California State University, Long Beach. The Kwanzaa festival is observed starting the day after Christmas for seven days and involves celebrating seven Swahili values; a candle is lit each day on a candleholder.

Billionaire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/kanye-west">Kanye West</a> slammed sportswear brand Adidas after the corporation indicated it might drop the fashion designer days after he donned &#8220;White Lives Matter&#8221; apparel alongside Daily Wire host <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/candace-owens">Candace Owens</a> at Paris Fashion Week.
Adidas said on Thursday that its relationship with West is currently &#8220;under review&#8221; after failed efforts to &#8220;privately resolve the situation.&#8221;
&#8220;FUUUUUU** Adidas,&#8221; West captioned a screenshot of the news. &#8220;I am Adidas. Adidas raped and stole my designs.&#8221;
West has been publicly feuding with the company for months, hurling charges that the brand was &#8220;copying&#8221; his ideas, CNBC <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2022/10/06/adidas-says-its-relationship-with-kanye-west-is-under-review.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">noted</a>.

“After repeated efforts to privately resolve the situation, we have taken the decision to place the partnership under review. We will continue to co-manage the current product during this period,” the company said in a statement issued Thursday.
Before the apparent fracture, Adidas CEO Kasper Rorsted <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2022/10/06/adidas-says-its-relationship-with-kanye-west-is-under-review.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> CNBC in August that West&#8217;s collaboration with the brand was of vital importance.
“He’s had a tremendous impact globally for us,” Rorsted said. “Kanye is our most important partner worldwide. We have a very, very good relationship with him. We communicate with him on a very ongoing basis. And we’re very proud of that relationship.”
West has refused to back down from both his &#8220;White Lives Matter&#8221; attire and his criticism of Black Lives Matter, a radical anti-police movement that has been <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/the-greatest-lie-ever-sold-candace-owens-highly-anticipated-blm-documentary-is-here" target="_blank" rel="noopener">accused</a> of scamming supporters.
The rapper earlier this week shared in an Instagram story, “Everyone knows that Black Lives Matter was a scam. Now it’s over. You’re welcome.”
Ye further went off on his detractors and upset fans, claiming it was only his friend Owens who publicly supported him when he was dealing with parenting issues related to his ex-wife Kim Kardashian.
“I wonder what Gigi [Hadid] and Venus’s perspectives were when I didn’t know where my child was on her birthday,” West said via social media.
“So why did everyone feel so free to attack me about my t-shirt but Candace Owens was the only public figure to say that it was wrong for the Kardashians to keep me from seeing my daughter?” he continued. “Or we just chime in when we want to tear a black man down for actually having a different political opinion?”
“And for all the audience so outraged about my t-shirt, where were you when I couldn’t see my kids?” West wrote. “I went public in hope of public support at that time.”

Owens, a best-selling author and podcast host, dropped the trailer for the documentary Thursday on Twitter, and West followed up by <a href="https://www.instagram.com/kanyewest/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">posting the clip</a> to his nearly 18 million Instagram followers.

In the film, Owens offers viewers &#8220;the true story&#8221; behind the life and death of George Floyd and the rise of the movement with never-before-seen interviews from insiders and experts.
&#8220;Riots, violence, and biblical heresy — that is the true story behind the George Floyd story,&#8221; the &#8220;Candace&#8221; host says in the documentary. &#8220;You look around you, and you see what is left — a story that made its way around the world. Do you see $90 million invested in this community? Where did that money go?”
The company noted that the film takes a peek inside &#8220;the curious role of big names like Chrissy Teigen in perpetuating the damage done to small businesses across the country&#8221; and promises to leave &#8220;no stone unturned — and no receipt unread.&#8221;
Owens dropped the trailer for the documentary Thursday on Twitter, rebuffing a &#8220;Black Lives Matter&#8221; tweet from actor and singer Jaden Smith.
&#8220;Ironically, you suffer from a life of tremendous white privilege,&#8221; Owens told Smith. &#8220;You say &#8216;black lives matter&#8217; not because you mean it, but because you hope it provides you legitimacy within a community you never knew.&#8221;
&#8220;The fraudulent BLM will be exposed on 10/12,&#8221; Owens said.
Tagging Smith, Owens asserted, &#8220;Please wear black out of respect for the demise of the movement which led black America into further poverty, incarceration, and despair.&#8221;

West earlier this week blasted Black Lives Matter as a &#8220;scam&#8221; and declared the movement &#8220;dead&#8221; by way of his &#8220;White Lives Matter&#8221; apparel, which he donned alongside Owens at Paris Fashion Week.

Greatest Lie Ever Sold

A young couple from Philadelphia says <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/new-information-raises-more-questions-about-federal-arrest-of-pro-life-father-mark-houck" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mark Houck</a>, a DOJ-targeted <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/pro-life" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pro-life</a> activist facing 11 years behind bars, helped them choose life for their baby girl, Nevaeh.
Houck was arrested by some 20 <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/fbi" target="_blank" rel="noopener">FBI</a> agents at his rural Pennsylvania home and hit with charges under the federal Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act last month for allegedly pushing an abortion escort last year.
Notably, local authorities never pursued charges against Houck, and a private criminal complaint over the alleged incident was dropped when the accuser neglected to show up to court.
&#8220;I had one hand on the door about to go into Planned Parenthood, and then Mark stopped us and he was like, &#8216;You guys don&#8217;t have to do this,&#8217;’ the young mother told <a href="https://www.prolifeunion.org" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pro-Life Union of Greater Philadelphia</a> in a video published last month.
The woman said she felt &#8220;shame and guilt&#8221; when she found out she was pregnant. Though she was uneasy about abortion, she scheduled one at a Planned Parenthood clinic.
Without Houck&#8217;s intervention, the mother said, &#8220;I really felt like I would have went through with it and I would have been living with regret.&#8221;
The young father recalled Houck intervening just before the couple went through the doors of the Planned Parenthood facility. &#8220;We talked to him, and he really got through to us, like, literally before we walked into the doors,&#8221; he said.
&#8220;He was really just trying to get to know us on a deeper level than us just trying to get an abortion, and that&#8217;s another reason why it was real easy and quick to open up to him, because it wasn&#8217;t a judgmental thing at all,&#8221; the mother said of Houck.
&#8220;He made sure he told us and made us feel like, you got it &#8230; and he was right,&#8221; the emotional father said. &#8220;He opened my eyes to a lot of stuff.&#8221;
The couple said they named their baby Nevaeh, Heaven spelled backward, because they believe the child was sent from God.
&#8220;The pro-lifers definitely were there for us every step of the way,&#8221; the father added. &#8220;There are times I can&#8217;t think of [Nevaeh] without thinking about y&#8217;all.&#8221;
&#8220;We don&#8217;t even know where we would be without you guys,&#8221; the couple said.
Houck has pleaded not guilty to the federal changes, and his legal team says the Catholic pro-lifer is the victim of blatant “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/new-information-raises-more-questions-about-federal-arrest-of-pro-life-father-mark-houck" target="_blank" rel="noopener">political prosecution</a>&#8221; by the Biden administration.

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/you-must-testify-under-oath-hawley-demands-answers-rips-merrick-garland-for-targeting-of-pro-life-activist" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Republican lawmakers</a> and the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/pro-life" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pro-life</a> community have already called into question the unprecedented federal targeting of pro-life father <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/we-will-not-back-down-donations-pour-in-for-pro-life-father-of-seven-arrested-raided-by-fbi-swat-team-at-home" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mark Houck</a> &#8212; and new information from a private criminal complaint only makes the arrest all the more suspect.
Houck, who leads a nonprofit group that provides sidewalk counseling at abortion clinics in Philadelphia, was arrested by some 20 <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/fbi" target="_blank" rel="noopener">FBI</a> agents and charged under the federal Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act last month for allegedly pushing an abortion escort last year.
But a private criminal complaint filed by Houck&#8217;s accuser, identified as Bruce Love, does not indicate that Love was escorting Planned Parenthood patients at the time of the alleged incident, a new <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2022/10/04/with-new-documents-the-biden-administrations-targeting-of-a-pro-life-dad-just-got-crazier/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">report</a> from The Federalist outlines.
Houck “was standing on the corner and [Love] was standing a few feet away from [Houck] waiting for clients,&#8221; Love&#8217;s criminal complaint says. &#8220;[Houck] stated to [Love] to stay away from him and that he will push [Love] into the street. As [Love] was walking away from [Houck], [Love] states [Houck] pushed [Love] causing him to fall to the ground.”
Further, the private complaint, which the court eventually dismissed because Love failed to show up, does not indicate Planned Parenthood &#8220;patients&#8221; or &#8220;reproductive access&#8221; were involved in the alleged incident, and therefore calls into question a charge under the FACE Act pending against Houck.
Notably, Houck&#8217;s account of the conflict centers around Love allegedly harassing his 12-year-old son while the pair were praying on the sidewalk. The pro-abortion enthusiast was hurling anti-gay slurs about Mr. Houck to the child, among other harassment, the family has claimed.
“Last year, Mark and his son were praying in front of the [Planned Parenthood] at 12th and Locust,” a <a href="https://www.givesendgo.com/prolifefamily" target="_blank" rel="noopener">GiveSendGo</a> fundraising account for the family recounts. “When one of the escorts began harassing Mark’s son they walked down the street away from the entrance to the building. The escort followed them, and when he continued yelling at Mark’s son, Mark pushed him away.”
“It’s all on video,” the post continues. “But that hasn’t stopped Planned Parenthood and the Biden Administration. With no prior warning, and in spite of the fact that Mark is represented by an attorney, Biden’s Justice Department sent a fully armed SWAT team into a home full of young children at daybreak, to arrest a father for protecting his son.”
The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/catholicism" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Catholic</a> father is facing 11 years behind bars and <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/pennsylvania-pro-life-activist-arrested-fbi-charged-assaulting-clinic-escort">fines</a> of up to $350,000.

New Information Raises More Questions About Federal Arrest Of Pro-Life Father Mark Houck

New Information Raises More Questions About Arrest Of Pro-Life Father Mark Houck

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/kanye-west" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kanye West</a> on Wednesday defended his “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-17-white-lives-matter-2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">White Lives Matter</a>” apparel, slammed the Kardashians for allegedly keeping him from seeing his daughter, and said Daily Wire host <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/show/candace" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Candace Owens</a> was “the only” one to publicly back him.
West has been feuding with critics after the fashion designer, along with Owens, rocked the “White Lives Matter” shirts at West’s Paris fashion show this week.
“I wonder what Gigi [Hadid] and Venus’s perspectives were when I didn’t know where my child was on her birthday,” West said in an Instagram post published Wednesday.
“So why did everyone feel so free to attack me about my t-shirt but Candace Owens was the only public figure to say that it was wrong for the Kardashians to keep me from seeing my daughter?” the “Gold Digger” rapper continued. “Or we just chime in when we want to tear a black man down for actually having a different political opinion?”
“And for all the audience so outraged about my t-shirt, where were you when I couldn’t see my kids?” he posed. “I went public in hope of public support at that time.”
<div id="attachment_446522" style="width: 989px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-446522" loading="lazy" class="wp-image-446522 size-large" src="https://www.dailywire.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Screen-Shot-2022-10-05-at-3.39.54-PM-979x576.png" alt="" width="979" height="576" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2022/10/Screen-Shot-2022-10-05-at-3.39.54-PM-979x576.png 979w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2022/10/Screen-Shot-2022-10-05-at-3.39.54-PM-300x176.png 300w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2022/10/Screen-Shot-2022-10-05-at-3.39.54-PM-768x452.png 768w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2022/10/Screen-Shot-2022-10-05-at-3.39.54-PM-1536x903.png 1536w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2022/10/Screen-Shot-2022-10-05-at-3.39.54-PM.png 1962w" sizes="(max-width: 979px) 100vw, 979px" />Instagram: Kanye West</div>
Owens has indeed defended West when it comes to his children. In February, for example, the podcast host publicly sided with Ye regarding his then-8-year-old daughter, North, having access to TikTok, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/kanye-west-thanks-candace-owens-for-saying-8-year-olds-shouldnt-have-tiktok">The Daily Wire</a> reported.
“Kim is wrong on this one,” Owens said at the time. “The psychological effects of social media on young girls is real and documented. It’s actually Kanye that is trying to protect his daughter in this regard and Kim is spinning this as ‘obsession’ and ‘control.’ There are other creative outlets for kids.”
The BLEXIT founder also said, “There is no 8 year old in the world that needs social media. Go color.&#8221;
West has refused to back down from the &#8220;White Lives Matter&#8221; clothing, despite some loud critics. On Tuesday, the billionaire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/kanye-west-calls-black-lives-matter-a-scam-declares-it-over-after-wearing-white-lives-matter-shirt-with-candace-owens" target="_blank" rel="noopener">posted</a> to Instagram, “Everyone knows that Black Lives Matter was a scam. Now it’s over, you’re welcome.”
Owens, too, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-17-white-lives-matter-2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">has refused to backdown</a>, challenging critics to stop focusing on the shirt and instead on real threats to the black community, like abortion, obesity, the breakdown of the family, and black-on-black crime.
“If ‘black lives matter,’ then some of these things that we have been talking about on this show, things I’ve been talking about throughout my entire political career, would be getting attention, not the t-shirt,” Owens <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-17-white-lives-matter-2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> on her podcast Tuesday.

A judge has blocked a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/punk-kid-plays-democrat-ag-to-the-tune-of-21000-in-gun-buyback-mocks-her-office" target="_blank" rel="noopener">gun</a> ban enacted by executive order from Philadelphia <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/philadelphias-soda-tax-has-been-a-total-disaster-according-to-study" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mayor Jim Kenney</a> (D), one week after the liberal mayor signed the EO.
Kenney last week attempted to outlaw firearms, even for legal gun owners, at city recreational facilities, despite <a href="https://www.legis.state.pa.us/cfdocs/legis/LI/consCheck.cfm?txtType=HTM&amp;ttl=18&amp;div=0&amp;chpt=61&amp;sctn=20&amp;subsctn=0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">state law</a> barring such regulation. The order was quickly challenged by nonprofit gun group <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/gun-control-bill-advances-in-the-senate-with-help-from-14-republicans" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Guns Owners of America</a> (GOA).
Judge Joshua Roberts, a <a href="https://ballotpedia.org/Joshua_Roberts" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Democrat</a>, granted a “permanent injunction” against the order, effectively banning the enforcement of the EO, <a href="https://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/local/philly-ban-on-firearms-at-recreation-centers-thrown-out-by-judge/3381768/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to NBC Philadelphia.
“The law in Pennsylvania couldn’t be clearer,&#8221; GOA attorney Andrew Austin <a href="https://www.gunowners.org/goa-secures-permanent-injunction-against-philadelphia-mayors-illegal-order/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> in a statement following the ruling. &#8220;No municipality – including Philadelphia – may regulate the lawful possession of firearms in any manner.&#8221;
Pennsylvania state law specifically <a href="https://www.inquirer.com/news/philadelphia/philly-gun-violence-jim-kenney-rec-centers-20220927.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">states</a>, &#8220;No county, municipality, or township may in any manner regulate the lawful ownership, possession, transfer, or transportation of firearms, ammunition, or ammunition components when carried or transported for purposes not prohibited by the laws of this commonwealth,&#8221; according to The Philadelphia Inquirer.
Kenney claimed the order was necessary to protect people. “This gives them some protection, some peace of mind, some ability to call the authorities when some knucklehead decides they want to bring a gun into a rec center and they see it, that’s part of what this is about,” the mayor said, according to the Inquirer.
&#8220;Obviously, the City doesn’t care about that law or the concrete legal precedent affirming it, and since there are no consequences for them, they will continue to try to ram through illegal rules to the detriment of their own citizens,&#8221; Austin said. &#8220;However, we’re grateful that the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas was willing to act so quickly to prohibit the mayor’s illegal action.”
Though the city is expected to appeal the order, GOA said it won&#8217;t back down.
“All of the anti-gun municipalities across the Commonwealth need to understand the message from this case: Gun Owners of America will not tolerate illegal bans, prohibitions, or restrictions on the Second Amendment in violation of Pennsylvania law,&#8221; Pennsylvania Director of GOA Dr. Val Finnell asserted. &#8220;We stopped Mayor Kenney in less than a week, and we will do the same to you.&#8221;
Finnell added that there needs to be &#8220;consequences for these illegal actions&#8221; through the state&#8217;s preemption statute. &#8220;When municipalities like Philadelphia violate the law, they should pay attorney’s fees and damages,” the director said.

Daily Wire host <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/show/candace" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Candace Owens</a> on Tuesday defended her friend <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/kanye-west" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kanye West</a> after the pair sparked a Twitter <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/paris-provocateurs-kanye-west-candace-owens-rock-white-lives-matter-shirts-at-fashion-show" target="_blank" rel="noopener">meltdown</a> for donning shirts with the phrase &#8220;<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/kanye-west-calls-black-lives-matter-a-scam-declares-it-over-after-wearing-white-lives-matter-shirt-with-candace-owens" target="_blank" rel="noopener">White Lives Matter</a>&#8221; emblazoned on the back at West&#8217;s <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/paris" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Paris</a> fashion show.
Owens, a fierce critic of the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/black-lives-matter" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Black Lives Matter movement</a> and, more generally, the Democratic Party, said outrage should not be sourced by a shirt that says white lives matter, but over real threats to the black community, like abortion, obesity, the breakdown of the family, and black-on-black crime — which the author described as a &#8220;racist&#8221; &#8220;truth.&#8221;
&#8220;If &#8216;black lives matter,&#8217; then some of these things that we have been talking about on this show, things I&#8217;ve been talking about throughout my entire political career, would be getting attention, not the t-shirt,&#8221; Owens said on her podcast Tuesday.
The host first outlined the devastation abortion has caused for the black community in particular. &#8220;Just so we are clear, abortion in America has contributed to the greatest decline in black population since the first black slaves arrived,&#8221; Owens asserted, adding that &#8220;<a href="https://rtl.org/multicultural-outreach/black-abortion-statistics/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">20 million black babies</a>&#8221; have been killed by abortion.
&#8220;For whatever reason, since we have convinced ourselves to genocide our own offspring, nobody cares,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;In fact, they tell you that it is your right [to abort] &#8230; 20 million black babies, and yet a t-shirt is what got attention last night.&#8221;
&#8220;In 2012, more black babies were killed by abortion in New York City than were born,&#8221; Owens said, noting the <a href="https://www.congress.gov/115/meeting/house/106562/witnesses/HHRG-115-JU10-Wstate-ParkerS-20171101-SD001.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">placement</a> of Planned Parenthood abortion clinics near minority communities.
Obesity, too, is a top killer for all Americans, especially black women. &#8220;It&#8217;s the <a href="https://bigthink.com/health/obesity-leading-cause-death-america-shame/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">number one killer in America</a>,&#8221; she said, before snarking, &#8220;I know Black Lives Matter told you it was police shootings.&#8221;
The BLEXIT founder then discussed &#8220;criminality.&#8221; &#8220;No one wants to talk about criminality; people don&#8217;t want to talk about black-on-black crime,&#8221; she said.
&#8220;Almost 40% of all of the homicide offenders in all of the United States,&#8221; the mother of two said, &#8220;we&#8217;re talking about 7% of the population is black men.&#8221;
&#8220;Let&#8217;s not talk about that,&#8221; Owens said. &#8220;In fact, let&#8217;s call that racist to even acknowledge that truth, to talk about the ills in our own community.&#8221;
The host then moved on to the education crisis, specifically regarding black boys. Owens listed off a host of shocking statistics, including that &#8220;74% of black boys in California can&#8217;t pass a basic reading exam.&#8221;
After recapping all the troubling issues she outlined, Owens mocked, &#8220;The real problem in black America is that Kanye and Candace put on a &#8216;White Lives Matter&#8217; t-shirt. So, let&#8217;s focus on that instead.&#8221;

In a cross complaint filed Tuesday, actress <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/angelina-jolie" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Angelina Jolie</a> accused her ex-husband, actor <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/brad-pitt-seeks-damages-against-ex-wife-angelina-jolie-over-business-reputation-sought-to-inflict-harm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Brad Pitt</a>, of physically assaulting her and two of their children during an <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/fbi-report-appears-to-show-angelina-jolies-injuries-following-fight-with-brad-pitt" target="_blank" rel="noopener">inflight incident</a> in 2016.
Pitt <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/brad-pitt-seeks-damages-against-ex-wife-angelina-jolie-over-business-reputation-sought-to-inflict-harm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">filed</a> a lawsuit against his ex-wife in February, accusing Jolie of intentionally causing damage to his business reputation by illegally off-loading her stake in their wine company without his consent or knowledge.
&#8220;Pitt choked one of the children and struck another in the face&#8221; during the incident, the countersuit alleges, <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2022/10/04/movies/angelina-jolie-brad-pitt-lawsuit.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to The New York Times.
At another point, the &#8220;Fight Club&#8221; actor allegedly &#8220;grabbed Jolie by the head and shook her, and then grabbed her shoulders and shook her again before pushing her into the bathroom wall.”
Pitt also &#8220;poured beer on Jolie&#8221; and &#8220;poured beer and red wine on the children,&#8221; the suit said.
The altercation was allegedly sparked when Pitt accused Jolie of being &#8220;too deferential&#8221; to their children, of which the couple have six. The 58 year old was allegedly physical with the children when they jumped in to try to protect their mother.
&#8220;When one of the children verbally defended Jolie, Pitt lunged at his own child and Jolie grabbed him from behind to stop him,&#8221; the suit <a href="https://people.com/movies/angelina-jolie-claims-brad-pitt-choked-their-child-on-2016-flight/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reads</a>. &#8220;To get Jolie off his back, Pitt threw himself backwards into the airplane&#8217;s seats injuring Jolie&#8217;s back and elbow. The children rushed in and all bravely tried to protect each other. Before it was over, Pitt choked one of the children and struck another in the face. Some of the children pleaded with Pitt to stop. They were all frightened.&#8221;
Pitt allegedly called Jolie a &#8220;b****&#8221; and told the family, &#8220;f*** you all,&#8221; when the plane landed and Jolie informed her then-husband she was going to a hotel.
The actor has yet to publicly respond to the explosive filing, but a source close to Pitt <a href="https://people.com/movies/angelina-jolie-claims-brad-pitt-choked-their-child-on-2016-flight/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> People magazine the allegations are not true.
Jolie&#8217;s countersuit is a response to Pitt&#8217;s legal action earlier this year over the couple&#8217;s wine brand.
Pitt said in court documents that Jolie was intentionally causing damage to his business reputation by illegally off-loading her stake in their wine company Chateau Miraval without his consent or knowledge, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/brad-pitt-seeks-damages-against-ex-wife-angelina-jolie-over-business-reputation-sought-to-inflict-harm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Daily Wire</a> reported in June.
The pair in 2008 bought a controlling stake in Chateau Miraval, a French castle and wine brand, and remained partners after their divorce in 2016. Jolie allegedly illegally sold her shares to Russian oligarch Yuri Shefler in 2021.
Pitt claimed Jolie intentionally sold her stake behind his back to a “stranger with poisonous associations and intentions” to “inflict harm,” while contributing “nothing to Miraval’s success.”
The actor <a href="https://www.vanityfair.com/style/2022/06/brad-pitt-angelina-jolie-miraval-wine-company-lawsuit-selling-stake-stoli-group?redirectURL=https://www.vanityfair.com/style/2022/06/brad-pitt-angelina-jolie-miraval-wine-company-lawsuit-selling-stake-stoli-group" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> the pair had an agreement not to sell their business interests in Miraval without the other partner&#8217;s consent, which Jolie allegedly violated.

New York Attorney General <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/letitia-james" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Letitia James</a>&#8216; taxpayer-funded so-called <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/guns" target="_blank" rel="noopener">gun</a> buyback event last month was made a mockery of when a self-described &#8220;punk kid&#8221; earned $21,000 for printed-off gun parts.
A man who wishes to only be identified as &#8220;Kem&#8221; has boasted about using his $200 <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/court-lifts-ban-on-blueprints-for-3d-printed-ghost-guns-as-biden-promises-crackdown" target="_blank" rel="noopener">3D printer</a> to make dozens of lower receivers and frames so he could cash-in on James&#8217; buyback, eventually landing him 42 $500 gift cards from the Democrat — or, rather, New York taxpayers.
&#8220;And it ended with the guy and a lady from the budget office finally coming around with the 42 gift cards and counting them in front of me,&#8221; Kem <a href="https://www.wktv.com/news/local/man-claims-he-was-paid-21-000-for-3d-printed-guns-at-new-york-ags/article_8e3be6fc-3eac-11ed-976b-7399515a1395.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">recalled</a> to NEWSChannel 2. &#8220;$21,000 in $500 gift cards.&#8221;
The man said he printed off enough parts for 110 firearms and then drove six hours to Utica to participate in the program, which Kem has ridiculed as noneffective.
&#8220;He sees the tote and says, &#8216;how many firearms do you have?&#8217; And I said, &#8216;110,’” the man explained. After a back and forth with the AG&#8217;s office, Kem received the $21,000.
“Getting guns off the streets and out of our communities is one of the many ways my office is working to protect New York families and combat rising crime rates,” James <a href="https://ag.ny.gov/press-release/2022/attorney-general-james-announces-172-guns-turned-onondaga-county-gun-buyback" target="_blank" rel="noopener">bragged</a> about the gun buyback in a statement issued September 17.
“By working closely with our partners in the Camillus Police Department, we were able to organize this successful event and remove 172 guns from the local community,&#8221; she said. &#8220;I will keep working to protect New Yorkers from gun violence and ensure that our state is a great place to live, work, raise a family, and retire.”
Kem ruthlessly mocked the braggadocious AG.
&#8220;I&#8217;m sure handing over $21,000 in gift cards to some punk kid after getting a bunch of plastic junk was a rousing success,&#8221; he told NEWSChannel 2.
&#8220;Gun buybacks are a fantastic way of showing, number one, that your policies don&#8217;t work, and, number 2, you&#8217;re creating perverse demand,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;You&#8217;re causing people to show up to these events, and, they don&#8217;t actually reduce crime whatsoever.&#8221;
Gun buyback programs have been criticized by opponents as publicity stunts, and studies have found &#8220;<a href="https://www.nber.org/system/files/working_papers/w28763/w28763.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">no evidence</a>&#8221; to show that the programs reduce crime at all.
James&#8217; office was not pleased with being publicly worked over by Kem, though the office seemingly knew about the 3D printed guns at the time of the AG&#8217;s boastful statement.
“It’s shameful that this individual exploited a program that has successfully taken thousands of guns off the streets to protect our communities from gun violence,&#8221; a spokesperson for the office said.
&#8220;We have partnered with local police throughout the state to recover more than 3,500 guns, and one individual’s greedy behavior won’t tarnish our work to promote public safety,&#8221; the spokesperson added. &#8220;We have adjusted our policies to ensure that no one can exploit this program again for personal gain.”
Kem is apparently not the first person to exploit the dubious program. Someone reportedly made $3,000 in August from printed-off gun parts turned over at a gun buyback in Houston, Texas, <a href="https://www.vice.com/en/article/akee4e/someone-made-dollar3000-selling-3d-printed-guns-at-a-gun-buyback-event" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to Vice. And rumors of accounts of others similarly cashing-in often go viral online.

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/country-music" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Country music</a> legend <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/the-15-most-anticipated-albums-of-2021" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Loretta Lynn</a> has died at age 90, her family confirmed Tuesday.
“Our precious mom, Loretta Lynn, passed away peacefully this morning, October 4th, in her sleep at home at her beloved ranch in Hurricane Mills,” the family <a href="https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-country/loretta-lynn-dead-obituary-65340/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> in a statement.
Lynn, who was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1988, broke barriers in the industry. The singer-songwriter was known for taking pride in her rural Kentucky background and sang about life and love.
“I’ve stayed the way I started out,” Lynn said in 2011, <a href="https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-country/loretta-lynn-dead-obituary-65340/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to Rolling Stone. “I’m proud that I didn’t change. When I go into a town that people first started loving me, and first started talking about me, I still got those people. Some passed away. But most are still there. And they come to see me every time I go. And that’s good.”
Some of her most popular songs were &#8220;Coal Miner&#8217;s Daughter&#8221; and &#8220;You Ain&#8217;t Woman Enough (To Take My Man)&#8221; &#8212; and some were <a href="https://theboot.com/loretta-lynn-the-pill-secret-history-of-country-music/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">banned</a>. The country queen had estimated that 14 of her songs were forbidden from being played on the radio during her career, including a song called &#8220;The Pill,&#8221; about birth control.
But she wasn&#8217;t quick to call herself a feminist. “I’m not a big fan of Women’s Liberation, but maybe it will help women stand up for the respect they’re due,&#8221; Lynn <a href="https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-country/loretta-lynn-dead-obituary-65340/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote</a> in &#8220;Coal Miner’s Daughter.&#8221;
She was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by then-President Barack Obama back in 2013.
&#8220;Her first guitar cost $17 and with it this coal miner’s daughter gave voice to a generation, singing what no one wanted to talk about and saying what no one wanted to think about,&#8221; Obama <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/country/loretta-lynn-awarded-presidential-medal-of-freedom-she-gave-voice-5793377/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> of Lynn at the time. &#8220;Now, over 50 years after she cut her first record &#8230; Loretta Lynn still reigns as the rule-breaking, record setting Queen of Country Music.”
Lynn&#8217;s husband of 48 years, Oliver Lynn, died in 1996.
She is survived by her younger sister Crystal Gayle, her children Patsy Lynn Russell, Peggy Lynn, Clara (Cissie) Marie Lynn and Ernest; 17 grandchildren; four step-grandchildren; and a number of great-grandchildren, <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2022/10/04/arts/music/loretta-lynn-dead.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to The New York Times.
