SCOTUS cases show Americans ‘one vote away’ from losing fundamental rights: Sen. Cruz 

Graham Colton | Fox News

Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, said Supreme Court decisions put Americans on the cusp of losing “fundamental rights” Sunday on “Life, Liberty & Levin.”

“Over and over again, the big landmark cases are 5-4,” he told host Mark Levin. “We’re one vote away on issue after issue after issue from losing our fundamental rights.”

District of Columbia v. Heller, “the landmark case upholding the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms,” was decided by a 5-4 margin, Cruz noted.

There is a 100% chance that Supreme Court nominee Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson would vote to reverse the Heller decision, Cruz said. He also put the odds at “100%” for Judge Jackson’s vote to overturn the death penalty.

“At the end of the day, when you have senators who say they don’t support abolishing the police, when you vote to confirm justices [who] will release violent criminals…Read more and see videos here.

Russia's invasion of Ukraine sparks Europe's hasty transition to energy independence

European nations are ramping up their energy sectors, including solar and wind options

By Emma Colton | Fox News

Swaths of Europe are rushing to stake their energy independence and spur an energy revolution after natural gas powerhouse Russia invaded Ukraine.

"We must become independent from Russian oil, coal and gas. We simply cannot rely on a supplier who explicitly threatens us. We need to act now to mitigate the impact of rising energy prices, diversify our gas supply for next winter and accelerate the clean energy transition," European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said this month. 

The Netherlands, France, Poland, Belgium, the United Kingdom, Germany and Italy are all ramping up their energy sectors, including by expanding their wind, solar and nuclear energy options.

War in Ukraine: Russia accuses Ukraine of attacking oil depot

BBC News 

 

An oil storage depot was set on fire in a Russian city just north of Ukraine after what Russia described as an attack by two Ukrainian helicopters.

A video shared on Twitter showed a blaze near apartment blocks in Belgorod, 40km (25 miles) from the border.

Some clips appeared to show rockets hitting the oil depot.

Ukraine’s top security official, however, denied Ukrainian forces were behind the attack.

“For some reason, they are saying we are behind it. This does not correspond to reality,” security council secretary Oleksiy Danilov said.

Ukrainian aircraft have not struck targets in Russia previously. Yet Belgorod governor Vyacheslav Gladkov accused Ukraine of launching the attack, and later Russian defence ministry spokesman Igor Konashenkov gave details. Read more and see video here.

Sarah Palin Returns to Politics to Run for Congress

Rebecca Downs / Townhall Tipsheet

 

Over a decade after she served as governor of Alaska until 2009 and was John McCain's running mate in 2008, Sarah Palin announced she was running for Congress.

A statement from Palin began by referencing former Rep. Don Young (R-AK), who just died on March 18. He had been the dean of the House, as well as the longest-serving member of Congress. "I realize that I have very big shoes to fill, and I plan to honor Rep. Young's legacy by offering myself up in the name of service to the state he loved and fought for, because I share that passion for Alaska and the United States of America," her statement began in part.

Palin's statement referenced how "America is at a tipping point" and credited how she's "watched the far left destroy the country" as motivation for why she's running. 

"At this critical time in our nation's history, we need leaders who will combat the left's socialist, big-govermment, America-last agenda. This country was built by heroes, and the radical left dishonors their legacies by opening our borders to illegal immigrants, mortgaging our children's future, and selling out our nation's interests to the highest bidder."
