Intentionally and falsely characterizing someone of having committed a crime is generally defamation per se, meaning that the person wrongfully accused is presumptively entitled to monetary damages. Even worse, when this kind of unmerited and gratuitous reputation destruction is done for reasons of personal profit—a few more YouTube bucks, for example--it would seem particularly contemptible behavior.
Today we explore the question of whether explicitly labeling former Deputy Eddie Duran’s shooting of Airman Roger Fortson as having “executed Fortson for exercising his Constitutional rights” might qualify as precisely this kind of defamation per se.
This question is, of course, prompted by the repeated publication of Attorney William Kirk, on his YouTube channel Washington Gun Law (WGL) of the explicit claim that Duran executed Fortson merely because he was exercising his Constitutional rights.

Watch as a shocking incident unfolds in San Jose, CA, where a group of brazen car thieves steal a Corvette in plain sight of security cameras, knowing they are being filmed, while threatening the owner's life if he attempts to prevent the theft.
Should such thieves threatening deadly force to complete their crime themselves be at jeopardy of deadly defensive force by the property owner? Could it possibly be lawful for an armed property owner to simply shoot down such thieves to protect his property?
If so, is this a case of the owner valuing his property over the lives of the thieves, or rather a case of the thieves valuing someone else's property more than they do their own lives?
Join this LIVE debate on whether it should be legal for individuals to use deadly force to protect their personal property in situations like this. Share your thoughts on this alarming scenario and the implications it raises for personal safety and property rights.

The federal lawsuits over the deportation of Tren de Aragua terrorists from the United States under the Alien Enemies Act proclamation sending TdA to the CECOT prison in El Salvador caught fire over the Easter weekend, with the Supreme Court issuing a 1AM order on Saturday stopping busloads of TdA from deportation, and Justice Alito and Thomas issuing a scorching dissent later that same day.

We’ll cover the background of what led up to all this, then dive into that forceful dissent castigating their SCOTUS colleagues. We’ll also take a look at what has happened since, including the White House response from Solicitor General John Sauer—always great reading—and the limp-wristed comeback from the ACLU lawyers defending these TdA terrorists.

Join me LIVE as I break it all down into plain English!

President Donald Trump was shot by an attempted assassin on Saturday, July 13, a day that exposed a horrific degree of incompetence of both the US Secret Service generally and some of its purportedly elite agents on scene in particular.
Exactly how incompetent were some of those agents on scene? In today's show we illustrate exactly their level of incompetence, by contrasting their performance with that of a normal street cop actually in a gun fight.
