Trump’s political opponents are proving themselves to be “sore winners,” seeking retribution against those who unsuccessfully challenged the election results. Many path-breaking reforms in this country were achieved through contentious litigation: Fighting to end segregation; defending neo-Nazis marching in Skokie, flag-burning, Gitmo detainees, and death row inmates; advocating for same-sex marriage, and much more. Conflicts and disagreements—an inherent aspect of human nature—are resolved either by reason or force. For reason to prevail, public discourse requires that contending positions be given the opportunity to compete in the marketplace of ideas. When legal issues are involved, litigation is often necessary to test—and...

... In a nutshell, the researchers found that the stress neurotransmitter norepinephrine, also known as noradrenaline, facilitates fear processing in the brain by stimulating a certain population of inhibitory neurons in the amygdala to generate a repetitive bursting pattern of electrical discharges. This bursting pattern of electrical activity changes the frequency of brain wave oscillation in the amygdala from a resting state to an aroused state that promotes the formation of fear memories. Published recently in Nature Communications, the research was led by Tulane cell and molecular biology professor Jeffrey Tasker, the Catherine and Hunter Pierson Chair in Neuroscience, and...

Beijing (AFP) – China on Sunday launched a rocket carrying three astronauts on a mission to complete construction on its new space station, the latest milestone in Beijing's drive to become a major space power. The trio blasted off in a Long March-2F rocket at (0244 GMT) from the Jiuquan launch center in northwestern China's Gobi desert, said state broadcaster CCTV, with the team to spend six months expanding the Tiangong space station. Tiangong, which means "heavenly palace," is expected to become fully operational by the end of the year. China's heavily promoted space programme has already seen the nation...

Left-wing rot goes to the very heart of our legal system. With the likelihood of a Republican tsunami at the midterms, some are already spinning wish lists of structural changes they hope will begin to take shape. Without wishing to rain on their -- or your -- parade, I’d like to point out how deep by now the structural rot goes. It’s beyond the collapse of academia and K-12 education, the evisceration of our military, government waste, the dysfunction of our health system, and the one-sidedness of media coverage. It goes to the very heart of our legal system. This...

Representative Jim Jordan (R-OH) on Friday blasted President Joe Biden and his administration for having created the record-high inflation and gas prices across the United States. Jordan told Fox Business Network’s “Varney & Company” that he was not as surprised as Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said she was that inflation followed the “crazy” spending, paying people not to work and doing away with energy independence. He suggested it was “intentional” by the White House. “As you know and your viewers know, inflation is the worst tax possible on American families,” Jordan lamented. “So, this is real. I think there are...

Irish Viagra An Irish woman of middle years visited her physician to ask his advice on reviving her husband's libido. "What about trying Viagra?" asked the doctor. "Nary a chance" she replied. "He'll not even be takin' an aspirin". "Not a problem," said the doctor. "Give him an Irish Viagra.” "Faith and begorrah," she says, "And what on Earth be Irish Viagra?" "It's Viagra dissolved in his morning cup of coffee. He won't even taste it," said the doctor, handing her some pills. "Let me know how it goes," he said. She called the doctor the very next afternoon. "How...

The original Gerber baby, whose face has been on the jar for more than 90 years, died at age 95 on Friday, the company confirmed. The firm said it was 'deeply saddened' by the loss of Ann Turner Cook and offered their condolences to the family. 'Many years before becoming an extraordinary mother, teacher and writer, her smile and expressive curiosity captured hearts everywhere and will continue to live on as a symbol for all babies,' Gerber wrote in an Instagram tribute. Cook, who was born in 1926, only spent a few months of her life not being the iconic...

A notorious vegan activist stormed into a restaurant and demanded diners stop eating meat while she played sounds of animals being slaughtered. Tash Peterson, 28, shouted 'their blood is on your hands' at the patrons eating out at Outback Jacks Bar and Grill on James Street, in Perth, on Saturday. She wore a white outfit stained in red paint, to symbolise blood, as she walked up and down the restaurant while holding a speaker above her head. 'The sounds you hear now, are the sounds of animals screaming for their lives inside Australian slaughterhouses,' she bellowed. 'They fought until their...

President Biden was spotted on a beach in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware on Saturday afternoon. Fox News obtained a picture of Biden walking down the beach on Saturday afternoon around 3 p.m.,which was after a private aircraft entered restricted airspace near the president's beach house. Biden was taken to a nearby fire station after the airplane was detected.

A starship crew in the 23rd century goes to investigate the silence of a distant planet's colony, only to find just two survivors, a powerful robot, and the deadly secret of a lost civilization.

On October 29, 2021, the U.S. Director of National Intelligence released a declassified report on the origins of COVID-19. The report acknowledges that, "the first human infection with SARS-CoV-2 most likely was the result of a laboratory-associated incident, probably involving experimentation, animal handling, or sampling by the Wuhan Institute of Virology."

Below is my column in The Hill on the calls for gun bans after the massacre in Uvalde, Texas. The massacre has already been used as the basis for calls to end the filibuster, pack the court, limits on gun ownership, and outright bans. One member called for all of the above. The rhetoric is again outstripping the reality of constitutional and practical limits for gun control. Last night, President Joe Biden formally called for banning “assault weapons” while repeating the dubious claim that an earlier ban sharply reduced mass shootings. Here is the column: In our increasingly hateful and...

A protein that destroys hard to treat cancers has been discovered by scientists - offering hope of effective new treatments. Experiments on mice and human tissue found it is effective against the most aggressive tumors. They include those of the breast, pancreas, ovaries and brain. The compound, known as ERX-41, leaves healthy tissue unscathed. It is one of the most promising breakthroughs to date - offering hope of a "one size fits all"' pill that was once thought impossible. Results were so encouraging clinical trials are expected to begin in the next few months. Lead author Professor Ratna Vadlamudi, of...

I previously wrote a column on the one year anniversary of the Hunter Biden laptop story that marveled at the success of the Biden family in making the scandal vanish before that 2020 election. It was analogized to Houdini making his 10,000-pound elephant Jennie disappear in his act. The Biden trick however occurred live before an audience of millions. Now, in an encore, a new major story on Biden’s Chinese dealings has surfaced. Once again, poof! ...more The media has made the story disappear except for a couple of the usual outlets. Even with the New York Times reporting on...
