WASHINGTON - At a community meeting Tuesday, D.C. Assistant Police Chief Chanel Dickerson made a deeply personal and stunning statement. Dickerson, who is part of a $100 million lawsuit filed against the department by current and former female Black officers, said when she became pregnant as a young police cadet, she was told she had to have an abortion to keep her job. "When I was 18-years-old as a police cadet, I was told I had to have an abortion or be fired from the MPD cadet program," Dickerson said. "Wow. My choice to have a baby was personal and...

The Supreme Court already refused to stop the law at the request of abortionists in September in a 5 to 4 decision. The request comes after the DOJ filed a lawsuit against the state of Texas last month in an attempt to stop the law. A federal judge issued an injunction and the law was blocked for 48 hours before the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals reinstated it....

Former President Donald Trump’s ascendance as the face of present-day Republican politics has been a study in the power of cognitive dissonance. Nowhere has this been more clear than in the rhetoric of conservative pundits. The same people who argue that “identity politics” has curdled public discourse refuse to acknowledge their own worldview as one predicated on white identity as the “natural” order. They decry gender-neutral toy potatoes as liberal overreach but see no problem with demanding the resignation of someone who admitted to feeling emotional about an inauguration.

Despotism (1946) "You can roughly locate any community in the world somewhere along a scale running all the way from democracy to despotism", so begins this short from Encyclopaedia Britannica Films, published a year after the end of the Second World War. The film goes on to illustrate (with some wonderful graphics, archive clips, and reconstructions) the idea that despotism has two chief characteristics — restricted respect and concentrated power. A community is low on a respect scale if common courtesy is withheld from large groups of people on account of their political attitudes; if people are rude to others...

President Biden told a debunked story about his relationship with a long-time Amtrak worker. It’s the fourth time he’s shared the story with a national audience. There’s just one problem — it never happened. Biden said the conversation he had with the Amtrak worker took place around 2015. But the Amtrak worker retired in 1993 and died in 2014. President Biden may just be forgetful or he may be suffering from a serious medical issue that affects his long-term memory. Either way, it’s not good. The broader issue involves the White House staff and the Mainstream Media. Why haven’t they...

Steve Carra, R-Three Rivers, introduced the pro-life legislation Tuesday.

This idea...

As if you needed another reason why In-N-Out Burger should be your favorite fast food place — or at least one of them. According to the San Francisco Chronicle, the Department of Public Health temporarily closed the burger joint’s outlet at Fisherman’s Wharf on Oct. 14 after they refused to check visitors’ vaccine cards — leading to the company castigating San Francisco for its mandate. It’s been the only San Francisco eatery closed for violating the mandate, according to the Health Department. “Despite multiple warnings, In-N-Out employees continued to let customers into the restaurant without verifying their vaccination status since...

Jason Rapert, R-Conway, hopes to introduce the Arkansas Heartbeat Protection Act later this month.

Erika Forbes explained why she opposes the Texas heartbeat law and joined a lawsuit challenging it.
