In a big decision you should be paying attention to, the Supreme Court decided in a 6-3 decision that states cannot discriminate against non-secular schools in tuition programs. Carson v. Makin is the case. The left is really upset about it.

"'Separation of church and state' is a vanishing concept at the Supreme Court" is a good thing. Why? Because it never existed in the first place. It was a made-up inference that does not stand up to the intention of the Founders at any point. And the left, which goes out of its way to target Christianity in the public square, is apoplectic that this made-up legal platitude might be slipping away.

This isn't the first time the Court has ruled this way, but it is a big decision that puts states on notice: Stop discriminating against Christian schools.

You have to wonder who on earth would have approved this, but a previously-unknown documentary was being filmed while the January 6 riot was happening. The documentary maker has agreed with cooperate with the January 6 committee. This has blindsided Trump's team.

After we scooped this morning that the Jan. 6 committee has subpoenaed documentarian ALEX HOLDER for his 2020 footage of DONALD TRUMP and his inner circle, Holder confirmed the news in a statement, saying he’s fully cooperating with the probe.

“When we began this project in September 2020, we could have never predicted that our work would one day be subpoenaed by Congress,” he said. “As a British filmmaker, I had no agenda coming into this. We simply wanted to better understand who the Trumps were and what motivated them to hold onto power so desperately.”

Today's hearing featured election officials from various states, including Brad Raffensperger of Georgia - one of Trump's biggest targets this primary season.
