College and university professors had a public meltdown on Twitter in reaction to the U.S. Supreme Court overruling Roe v. Wade on Friday. One Stanford professor declared that women not having the ability to kill their unborn children is “barbaric.” “The Supreme Court decision to strike down Roe v. Wade rushes the nation toward an abyss where we have no civil or human rights,” proclaimed Critical Race Theory proponent and Boston University professor Ibram X. Kendi in a Twitter tirade. “When women don’t have the right to make reproductive choices about their own bodies, we lose a foundational right,” Kendi...

At a ceremony honoring young geographers in 2016, President Vladimir Putin asked one boy about the capital of Burkina Faso and then quizzed another about where Russia’s borders end. “At the Bering Strait with the United States,” the 9-year-old boy ventured hesitantly. Mr. Putin, who chairs the board of the Russian Geographic Society, contradicted the boy to triumphant applause. “The borders of Russia,” he pronounced, “never end.”

A federal appeals court has agreed to halt the FDA's ban on Juul products thanks to a lawsuit filed by the e-cigarette manufacturer. Juul asked a federal court Friday to block a government order to stop selling its electronic cigarettes, and was told the application had succeeded. The news was first reported by Reuters, with further details on how long the ban on sales will be suspended for yet to emerge. The e-cigarette maker had earlier asked the court to pause what it calls an 'extraordinary and unlawful action' by the Food and Drug Administration that would require it to...

The Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs v. Jackson is a victory for the rule of law. I’m not talking so much about the opinion itself. I’m talking about the Supreme Court majority’s demonstration that it will do what it thinks is right despite unprecedented pressure from the media, from Democrats in Congress, from “activist” groups and even from angry mobs and attempted assassins who show up at their homes. This is a big deal. When, as reported by Jan Crawford, a coordinated bullying campaign flipped Chief Justice John Roberts’ position in NFIB v. Sebelius, the ObamaCare case from 2012, many...

On the heels of the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision overturning Roe v Wade, a number of top studios and entertainment giants — including Comcast, Disney, Netflix, Paramount, Warner Bros Discovery — vowed to pay travel expenses for employees looking to get abortions. With the end of Roe v Wade, up to 14 states will quickly move to restrict abortions far more than they have for the last fifty years. And the ruling has spurred companies including Sony and Hollywood talent agencies WME, CAA, and UTA to inform employees that their expenses will be covered if they have to travel to...

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas revealed he has laws protecting gay marriage and contraception in his sights, after axing Roe v. Wade. Following Friday's landmark decision, Thomas called on his fellow jurists to overturn previous rulings that followed similar legal precedent. The prospective law changes, released in a concurring opinion of the decision penned by Thomas, would see limits put on gay marriage, same-sex sexual activity, and citizens' access to birth control. It comes as the Supreme Court controversially elected to strike down Roe v. Wade, a nearly 50 year-old decision that granted women the constitutional right to abortion. In...

Even as he lives under constant armed protection, President Biden is open about his desire to take away Americans’ most effective means of protecting their own lives. Biden even joked about it recently, mocking ordinary citizens’ ownership of certain firearm magazines: “What—do you think the deer you’re hunting wear Kevlar vests? What the hell you need 20 bullets for? You must be a hell of a terrible shot.” Here’s a better question: Who is Joe Biden to dictate how peaceable Americans will defend their lives and loved ones? Your self-defense choices are yours to make, not the President’s nor any...

Attorney General Merrick Garland vowed in a statement released on Friday that President Biden’s Department of Justice would use “every tool at our disposal” to fight for abortion. In a 5-4 decision the Supreme Court ruled Friday that the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision is no longer the law of the land, as abortion is not protected by the U.S. Constitution. As a result, the decision will now rest with each individual state — federalism at work. Three of the five justices who overturned the landmark decision were appointed by former President Donald Trump: Justices Brett Kavanaugh, Neil Gorsuch, and...

Some battles are clear-cut. If the Cubs play the Brewers, one team wins and the other team loses. A score is posted and everyone knows who the winner is. It’s often that simple with Supreme Court rulings too… but not with Dobbs. On Friday, June 24, 2022, the Supreme Court released the long-awaited decision in the case of Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization. At long last, the high court overturned Roe v. Wade, the 1973 decision in which the Supreme Court assumed the power to regulate how and when states can regulate abortion. Roe v. Wade Let’s look at...

A pro-transgender political army of 150 progressive groups is rejecting any compromise with ordinary Americans, just days after Hillary Clinton warned Democrats they are risking a catastrophic political defeat by Donald Trump in 2024. The “Open Letter Supporting the Full Inclusion of Transgender and All LGBTQI+ Youth” was posted on June 22, and it declared: we call for the full inclusion, protection, and celebration of transgender and non-binary youth, including access to extracurricular activities such as athletics and to school facilities, safe and inclusive school environments, accurate and inclusive curriculum, and gender-affirming school health services.

WASHINGTON, D.C.—Democrats have temporarily pushed pause on the January 6th hearings in order to lead an insurrection against the federal government. "On January 6th, a branch of our federal government was almost overthrown because politicians used dangerous rhetoric that caused—wait, hold on everyone, I just got the update. Roe's been overturned!" said Representative Adam Schiff. "Okay, well if all the Republicans could please sit tight, there will be a brief recess while our Democratic caucus takes to the streets demanding we overthrow a branch of the federal government." After closing down their presentation entitled "How Trump Undermined Institutional Authority", Democrats...

Abortion was automatically outlawed in 18 US states as soon as Roe v. Wade was overturned, thanks to specially-devised 'trigger laws' and historic bans that were automatically reenacted after Friday's ruling. Thirteen states prepared trigger laws which would automatically outlaw terminations in the event of a ruling to overturn Roe v. Wade, which was widely-anticipated. They are: Arkansas; Idaho; Kentucky; Louisiana; Mississippi; Missouri; North Dakota; Oklahoma; South Dakota; Tennessee; Texas; Utah and Wyoming. Abortion bans in those states will now become law within 30 days. Five other states have also now banned terminations, after historic laws superseded by the 1973...

In order to put an end to the deaths and destruction of Ukraine, Russian President Vladimir Putin simply has to order an end to the war and the withdrawal of Russian troops from Ukrainian territory. The statement issued by the EU during a meeting of the OSCE Permanent Council in Vienna says, according to Censor.NEТ citing Ukrinform. "At four o'clock on February 24, the largest war of aggression in Europe since World War II began, which brought untold suffering to the people of Ukraine. The world knows who the aggressor is. With its deliberate, unprovoked and unjustified attack, Russia has...

I can't wait to hear your take on the overturning of ROE V WADE, and on the decision that Conceal Carry permits must be SHALL ISSUE and not MAY ISSUE, and on the fact that Nancy Pelosi's husband got misdemeaner charges filed on his DUI. I just wish Rush Limbaugh was still here to see all this. I'm sure glad you ARE! Can't wait to see you posting again, and your reaction to all this!!!

Former President Donald Trump said Friday that the Supreme Court overturned the Roe v. Wade decision establishing a national right to abortion because he was able to install three nominees on the bench during his term in office. Mr. Trump called the ruling “the biggest win for life in a generation” and said it was “only made possible because I delivered everything as promised.” “I did not cave to the Radical Left Democrats, their partners in the Fake News Media, or the RINOs who are likewise the true, but silent, enemy of the people,” the former GOP president said in...

A paratrooper from Mykolaiv has shot down a Russian Su-25 Grach attack aircraft using an Igla man-portable air defense system (MANPADS). "Today, on June 24, in one area, a serviceman with an air defense division of the Mykolaiv-based 79th Air Assault Brigade of the Ukrainian Air Assault Forces successfully shot down a Russian Su-25 Grach attack aircraft," the statement said.

Congress passed a bill Friday that aims to keep up the expanded, pandemic-era distribution of free meals for all students this summer. Final passage of the Keep Kids Fed Act in the U.S. House came less than a week before rule changes for child nutrition programs were set to expire June 30. “Our action today staves off a dangerous hunger cliff: ensuring universal free meals for all children throughout this summer, while helping schools keep up supply chain snags and rising costs for the upcoming school year,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, a Democrat, in a statement. The bill now goes...

After the U.S. Supreme Court overturned its Roe v. Wade decision on Friday, activists gathered outside New Orleans’ only abortion clinic as workers locked its doors for the last time. Their reactions were visceral: A Tulane Law student worried that women’s rights were being systematically stripped away as a pastor praised the day that babies’ lives were saved. And by 11 a.m., it was quiet again. The Supreme Court’s decision ended constitutional protections for abortion that had existed for nearly 50 years. It is expected to lead to abortion bans in roughly half of the states, including Louisiana. The state’s...
