One week ago today, attorneys for Students for Fair Admissions (SFFA) laid out their cases against Harvard and the University of North Carolina before the U.S. Supreme Court. The justices also heard arguments from attorneys representing the defendants and the Executive Branch. While the plaintiff held firm on the narrowly tailored position that racial preferences are wrong, proponents of race-based affirmative action brought to the Court overblown theatrics concerning diversity. Putting an end to race-conscious college admissions would, they explained, have devastating effects on campus diversity, which could not be compensated for by race-neutral alternatives. imultaneously, however, these champions of...

US President Joe Biden called former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu Monday to congratulate him on his victory in last week's election for the 25th Knesset. The call came six days after the Israeli elections, and after numerous other world leaders had already congratulated Netanyahu. The conversation between the parties was coordinated during the day after the Israeli side was promised that Biden would contact Netanyahu this past weekend. Biden told Netanyahu during the conversation: "We are brothers, we will make history together. My commitment to Israel is unquestionable. Congratulations, friend, and a warm greeting to Sara." Netanyahu replied: "We...

Northop Grumman's robotic Cygnus cargo ship launched toward the ISS this morning (Nov. 7) from Virginia, packed with more than 4.1 tons (3.7 metric tons) of food and other supplies for the astronauts aboard the orbiting lab. The launch went smoothly, but Cygnus encountered some trouble after separating from its Antares rocket ride: The freighter has managed to unfurl just one of its two solar arrays. Mission team members are working to troubleshoot the glitch, but Cygnus may still be able to power its way to the space station for a scheduled Wednesday (Nov. 9) meetup even if a fix...

A newly emboldened Xi Jinping may be unwilling to admit the failure of his signature pandemic policy.At the recently concluded Chinese Communist Party congress, General Secretary Xi Jinping cemented his power. Breaking political norms, Xi secured another term as president, signaled his intention to rule like an emperor, and packed the seven-person standing committee with loyalists. The question he now confronts is whether to continue with his disastrous policy of controlling Covid-19 by any means necessary. The most notable person Xi elevated to the Standing Committee was Li Qiang, the Communist Party secretary of Shanghai and a longtime protégé. Many...

Americans suffering from "hard times" thanks to inflation should simply consider eating cheaper food, a Democratic congressman suggested last month. Congressman Sean Patrick Maloney, D-N.Y., said in an interview with Halston Media that his family has a history of eating foods like "Chef Boyardee" when high gas prices began to affect their budgets. Rep. Maloney added "that's what families have to do" when hard times come around, and suggests that's what struggling American families should do right now. Well, I grew up in a family where if the gas price went up, the food price went down, so by this...

A Trump-appointed judge issued a blow Thursday night to a New York State gun law that barred guns in places of worship. The Democrat-led legislature in New York passed a series of laws in September aimed at restricting concealed carry after the Supreme Court overturned a statute requiring individuals to show “proper cause” in order to obtain a concealed carry permit. One such restriction barred firearms in places of worship and “sensitive” areas. Two clerics and several gun rights organizations sued, asking for an injunction until the court could hear the merits of the case. Pastor Jimmie Hardaway of Trinity...

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul brushed off rising crime and claimed challenger Lee Zeldin was “hyperventilating” over the key issue Monday — just hours after two subway riders were stabbed, including a good Samaritan who intervened when he saw a woman getting harassed. During a campaign stop on Manhattan’s Upper West Side, Hochul tried to downplay Zeldin’s criticism of her and former President Bill Clinton for “laughing and joking about subway crimes” at an event Saturday. “I say: check the source,” Hochul told reporters outside the West 72nd Street subway station at Verdi Square.

A "red mirage," or an artificial GOP vote lead, will likely reoccur Tuesday.As early Election Day results come in on Tuesday, it will likely appear that a Republican candidates vying for any number of the federal or statewide races appear to be leading their Democratic opponents, even by large margins. Their leads will dwindle, or crumble completely, after perceived "dumps" of votes are recorded by state election officials who count mail-in and absentee ballots in the days -- or even weeks -- following Election Day. This phenomenon was popularized as the "red mirage" or the "blue shift" after the 2020...

Federal surveys like the US Census are gradually taking their transgender respondents into account. But they rarely ask specific questions unique to trans life: Have they been denied access to reproductive health care? Is their life better than it was before they came out as trans? Enter the US Trans Survey, the largest survey in the country specifically geared toward trans and nonbinary people. Conducted by the National Center for Transgender Equality (NCTE) and open until November 21, its results will be quoted by journalists, academics and legislators for the next five years. The survey is especially important now, given...

If you're feeling ruffled by recent reports that turkey prices are on the rise, don't panic. There's no need to start hoarding turkeys. "We're not seeing a shortage of supply," said Ben Del Coro, vice president of sales and marketing at Fossil Farms, a New Jersey-based purveyor of sustainable and all-natural meats and farm-raised game. Unlike last holiday season, where supply chain and labor issues caused ingredient shortages, there should be enough frozen turkeys to go around for Thanksgiving. However, avian flu outbreaks and inflation's impact on fuel, feed and labor costs have contributed to higher prices for turkeys.

A female protester at a Gov. Kathy Hochul rally in Manhattan was choked by a man during a skirmish Saturday evening that also involved a New York City lawmaker, footage shows. The melee occurred near the landmark Stonewall Inn, where the Democratic candidate Hochul was appearing with Bravo host Andy Cohen to shore up LGBTQ support in the days before the gubernatorial election. Footage captured by the independent Viral News NY showed the middle of the altercation, in which a man in shorts and a plaid short-sleeve shirt choked a woman wearing a black sweatshirt.
