While there are legitimate concerns about President Biden’s Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson’s adherence to ever-toxic critical race theory and her views on gender, it’s fair to say that Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Missouri, has scored the most damaging hit against the left-wing jurist with his focus on her sentencing of those convicted of child pornography. The best indication of this assertion is the concerted pushback from the alleged “fact-checkers,” who rushed almost in unison to Jackson’s defense to claim that Hawley’s claims don’t stand up to scrutiny, though her confirmation hearings before the Senate’s Judiciary Committee are but a...

From the Book: "The Democrats are fundamentally transforming our nation by using a plan that is so clever that the conservatives do not recognize their compliance with the poisonous design. Their tactic is brilliant. They have us arguing over the political left and right, conservative versus liberal, tolerance, intolerance, rights, race, civil rights or privileges, benefits and fairness while they engage in a continual drone that we are a democracy instead of a republic. The bickering has directed our attention to party politics instead of working from our constitutional foundation, which is allowing our government’s decay into fascism, communism, or...

...Bushway, a science teacher at Barrie Middle and Upper School, wondered aloud to her upper-level high school chemistry class if there was a little filter — similar to the ones that are made for camping to purify water — that they could make from inexpensive components to easily remove lead. The students were excited about the idea, and they started thinking about the project in 2020 when COVID-19 restrictions kept them out of the classroom. While at home, the team met virtually and discussed designs for an attachment to screw a filter onto a sink’s faucet. Then in the spring...

A former FBI agent hired by the St. Louis circuit attorney to investigate criminal allegations against then-Gov. Eric Greitens has pleaded guilty to misdemeanor evidence tampering in connection with his conduct during the case. William Tisaby, 69, admitted Wednesday that he failed to turn over certain documents to the governor’s defense attorneys, including notes he took during an interview with the woman at the center of the case. He had faced seven felony counts, including allegations that he lied during a March 2018 deposition about the investigation. “There was no malice in this man’s heart,” Tisaby’s attorney, Jermaine Wooten, said...

"If President Biden wants to politicize health, he will have to fire me. You would think record gas prices, a 40-year inflation high, and the situation in Ukraine would be his highest priorities at the moment. With that said, I am beyond grateful to President Trump for appointing me to this very prestigious & important position. I am also grateful to my colleagues on the committee & proud of everything we were able to achieve. However, I have no intention of resigning. I received this letter on behalf of @POTUS requesting I resign from the President's Council on Sports, Fitness...

Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., brought Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson to tears Wednesday with an impassioned speech hearkening to the plight of Black Americans and the efforts of their forebears that led Booker and Jackson to be sitting together in the same Senate hearing room. “It’s hard for me not to look at you and not see my mom. Not to see my cousins, one of them who had to come here and sit behind you. She had to have your back. I see my ancestors and yours,” Booker said. “But don’t worry, my sister. Don’t worry. God has...

India and Russia will have currency swaps in place to finance trade in rupees and rubles, bypassing the US sanctions regime against Russia, the president of India’s export association told CNBC Wednesday (March 23). Several of India’s state-owned banks will execute the swaps under the supervision of the Reserve Bank of India, starting as early as next week, according to A. Sakthivel, president of the Federation of Indian Export Organizations (FIEO). Although the volumes of prospective trade to be financed under this swap arrangement are small, the India-Russia agreement, if executed, would be the first open departure from dollar-based system...

Croatian Member of European (MEP) Parliament and former judge Mislav Kolakusic called Prime Minister Justin Trudeau out to his face in Brussels on Tuesday, savaging Trudeau over “civil rights violations” against Freedom Convoy protesters.Speaking before the European Parliament, Kolakusic accused the prime minister of engaging in a “dictatorship of the worst kind” by using the Emergencies Act to crush peaceful demonstrations.Kolakusic’s speech followed Trudeau’s own address to the parliament, where the prime minister had sounded off on purported threats to democracy posed by freedom protesters.

Every time the Executive Branch nominates someone to the Supreme Court, the U.S. Senate schedules public hearings, in which they interrogate the nominee. Senators ask the nominee what they think the Constitution means, what they think enumerated and non-enumerated rights are, when life begins. Senators of the party that controls the White House throw softballs; senators of the opposition party ask tough questions. This should be the opportunity for viewers at home to learn whether the nominee is a conservative or liberal – a true believer in our Founding Principles of limited government, or an advocate of the “living document”...

A Purdue University professor of women's studies drew criticism for saying transgender UPenn swimmer Lia Thomas should be celebrated as a 'trailblazer' in the same way as Jackie Robinson and that her achievements are good for women's sports. Cheryl Cooky - Purdue professor of American studies and of women's, gender and sexuality studies- claimed in an NBC op-ed piece that Thomas' victories should be highlighted as a historical first alongside Jackie Robison, who broke the color barrier in Major League Baseball.
