Puff Puff, Bang Bang, the Supreme Court appeared ready to curb the federal ban that blocks regular marijuana users from owning guns, with justices questioning whether occasional cannabis use makes someone too dangerous to exercise Second Amendment rights. Several justices pressed the government on the law’s overreach, noting weed is legal in most states even as Congress still classifies it as a controlled substance.  Please Like, Comment and Follow 'Philip Teresi on KMJ' on all platforms: ---  Philip Teresi on KMJ is available on the KMJNOW app, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube or wherever else you listen to podcasts.  -- Philip Teresi on KMJ Weekdays 2-6 PM Pacific on News/Talk 580 AM & 105.9 FM KMJ  | Website  | Facebook | Instagram | X | Podcast | Amazon | - Everything KMJ KMJNOW App | Podcasts | Facebook | X | Instagram  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The San Joaquin River Parkway Trust has halted its use of human‑derived compost at Sumner Peck Ranch after Fresno County officials and the San Joaquin River Conservancy said the practice may violate state law and was done without required approval. County leaders, including Supervisor Garry Bredefeld, blasted the decision and warned the trust may face legal action if the material isn’t removed.

The U.S. Senate passed a bill authorizing President Trump to award the Medal of Honor to retired Marine Maj. James Capers Jr., who saved his reconnaissance team during a brutal 1967 Vietnam ambush despite severe gunshot and shrapnel wounds. Capers — a trailblazing Recon Marine and Silver Star recipient — has long been championed by veterans who say his valor was overlooked for decades, and the bill now awaits the president’s approval.  Supporters of a California ballot initiative to require voter ID say they’ve submitted 1.3 million signatures, enough to potentially place the measure before voters in November; the proposal would mandate government‑issued ID, verify citizenship of registered voters, and tighten voter‑roll accuracy. Opponents argue voter fraud is exceedingly rare and warn the measure would disproportionately disenfranchise low‑income residents, seniors, people with disabilities, and women whose IDs don’t match voter records.  Britney Spears was arrested i

President Trump fired Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem after weeks of turmoil and a contentious hearing over a controversial ad contract. He announced Sen. Markwayne Mullin as her replacement, with Deputy Secretary Troy Edgar expected to serve in the interim.  A dispute erupted after the San Joaquin River Parkway Trust used human compost at Sumner Peck Ranch, triggering cease‑and‑desist letters from both Fresno County and the San Joaquin River Conservancy, which argue the practice may violate state law and endanger public land.  Please Like, Comment and Follow 'Philip Teresi on KMJ' on all platforms: ---  Philip Teresi on KMJ is available on the KMJNOW app, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube or wherever else you listen to podcasts.  -- Philip Teresi on KMJ Weekdays 2-6 PM Pacific on News/Talk 580 AM & 105.9 FM KMJ  | Website  | Facebook | Instagram | X | Podcast | Amazon | - Everything KMJ KMJNOW App | Podcasts | Facebook | X | Instagram  See omnystudio.com/l

A dispute erupted after the San Joaquin River Parkway Trust used human compost at Sumner Peck Ranch, triggering cease‑and‑desist letters from both Fresno County and the San Joaquin River Conservancy, which argue the practice may violate state law and endanger public land. The trust says the compost is safe and legal, while Supervisor Garry Bredefeld blasted the move as “breathtaking stupidity” and a waste of taxpayer resources.  Please Like, Comment and Follow 'Philip Teresi on KMJ' on all platforms: ---  Philip Teresi on KMJ is available on the KMJNOW app, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube or wherever else you listen to podcasts.  -- Philip Teresi on KMJ Weekdays 2-6 PM Pacific on News/Talk 580 AM & 105.9 FM KMJ  | Website  | Facebook | Instagram | X | Podcast | Amazon | - Everything KMJ KMJNOW App | Podcasts | Facebook | X | Instagram  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Assemblymember Esmeralda Soria is pushing a bill to ban registered sex offenders from holding public office after Fresno council candidate Rene Campos, convicted in 2018 of possessing child sexual abuse material, entered the District 7 race.  Campos calls the proposal unfair, saying he has met all legal obligations and continues to comply with the law.  A viral video revealed that the dramatic Zulu chant opening The Lion King, long assumed by fans to be deeply spiritual, actually translates to something hilariously simple like “Look! There is a lion! Oh my God!”  The discovery shocked fans who’d treated the moment as sacred, with many saying they’ll never hear the iconic opening the same way again.  Please Like, Comment and Follow 'Philip Teresi on KMJ' on all platforms: ---  Philip Teresi on KMJ is available on the KMJNOW app, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube or wherever else you listen to podcasts.  -- Philip Teresi on KMJ Weekdays 2-6 PM Pacific on

California taxpayers are funding Kamala Harris’ multi‑city book‑tour security, with dozens of CHP officers escorting her in the U.S. and abroad but the state won’t say how much it costs or how long it will continue.  Critics argue the secrecy raises concerns about using public resources for a private, money‑making tour.  Gov. Gavin Newsom warned he may pull state funding from 10 “underperforming” counties including Fresno, LA, San Francisco, Kern, and Riverside for failing to meet benchmarks under his CARE Court mental‑health and homelessness program.  He blasted the counties for filing too few treatment petitions and said he’ll redirect money to better‑performing regions, while local officials pushed back, arguing low petition numbers don’t reflect failure and that counties need more funding, not threats to improve services.  Please Like, Comment and Follow 'Philip Teresi on KMJ' on all platforms: ---  Philip Teresi on KMJ is available on the KM

U.S. financial firms are on high alert for cyberattacks as the war with Iran escalates, with companies ramping up threat monitoring amid the heightened geopolitical tension. The killing of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei has fueled regional chaos, shaken global markets, and raised fears that Iran‑linked hackers could target America’s financial sector in retaliation.  Iran’s spot in the 2026 World Cup is now uncertain, after U.S.–Israeli strikes and the killing of Iran’s supreme leader prompted the country’s soccer chief to say they may not be able to participate. FIFA says it’s too early to comment, while Iran’s games in Los Angeles and Seattle face added complications because Iranian fans are barred from entering the U.S. under a travel ban.  Please Like, Comment and Follow 'Philip Teresi on KMJ' on all platforms: ---  Philip Teresi on KMJ is available on the KMJNOW app, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube or wherever else you listen to podcas
