    The rule of law and due process apply to everyone, even people with long criminal histories. Even people who have bad reputations in dangerous, gang-infested, drug-dealing dystopias.

    I can be typing a comment, and not watching the field (once I've activated the cursor within it), then when I'm done typing, the field remains completely blank. I then have to retype the entire comment, which never reads the way you want (unless you have perfect recall, which I don't, at advanced age) so the gist of the initial comment you have mentally formulated has been lost. At first, I thought this was a system delay or preview function of some sort, on the browser, but now I don't know what it is. Then the frustration sets in, of...

    The rulers of this world who are insufficiently instructed by Christians and the word of God will remain largely unchecked in their drift toward lawlessness, violence, and war. This is because unbelieving men and nations are at war with Jesus Christ. It follows that the violence of war is the demonstration—not the cause—of the awful capacity of the sinful heart of man.[3] God says this about lost sinners: “Their feet are swift to shed blood; destruction and misery are in their ways; and the way of peace they have not known. There is no fear of God before their eyes”...

    The big news in Chicago this weekend was black voters are threatening to vote Republican if City Hall does not do something about illegal aliens.Dream on. That won’t happen. What Chicago needs is a referendum to repeal its sanctuary city status — and it may get one.But Republicans are getting their hopes up again.Breitbart reported, “A group of black Chicago residents rallied on the city’s South Side to warn City Hall and the City Council that they are organizing to defeat any official that supports Mayor Brandon Johnson’s fealty to sanctuary city policies and the continued spending of millions on...

    What’s a Claim File? Why Should I Request One?A claim file is a collection of the information your insurer used to decide whether it would pay for your medical treatment or services.

It can include internal correspondence, recordings of phone calls, case notes, medical records and other relevant information.Information in your claim file can be critical when appealing denials.

    In North Carolina, lawmakers outraged that breast cancer patients were being denied reconstructive surgeries passed a measure forcing health insurers to pay for them. In Arizona, legislators intervened to protect patients with diabetes, requiring health plans to cover their supplies. Elected officials in more than a dozen states, from Oklahoma to California, wrote laws demanding that insurance companies pay for emergency services. Over the last four decades, states have enacted hundreds of laws dictating precisely what insurers must cover so that consumers aren’t driven into debt or forced to go without medicines or procedures. But health plans have violated these...

    When a stubborn pain in Nick van Terheyden’s bones would not subside, his doctor had a hunch what was wrong. Without enough vitamin D in the blood, the body will pull calcium from the bones. Left untreated, a vitamin D deficiency can lead to osteoporosis. A blood test in the fall of 2021 confirmed the doctor’s diagnosis, and van Terheyden expected his company’s insurance plan, managed by Cigna, to cover the cost of the bloodwork. Instead, Cigna sent van Terheyden a letter explaining that it would not pay for the $350 test because it was not “medically necessary.” The letter...

If it does so on Friday, children, mothers, and elderly women will be freed from more than a month and a half in the clutches of one of the most barbaric terrorist organizations to ever exist on the face of the Earth. Moreover, something truly historic will occur if the deal is truly fulfilled in its entirety: The International Committee of the Red Cross will be allowed to visit Israeli hostages in Hamas captivity and provide them with medical assistance. In 2009, following Operation Cast Lead,...

    Most students in the Cal State Chico library were silently poring over books or computers one recent afternoon. But one group was tucked into a corner peppering the university’s president, Stephen Perez, with questions. What’s the world’s smallest mountain range? The Sutter Buttes, about an hour south of Chico. The only incorporated city in Modoc County? Alturas. The biggest lake in Plumas County? Lake Almanor. The students were testing Perez’s knowledge of the largely rural swath of the state served by his campus. Because that’s where all of them are from, towns such as Williams, MacArthur and Graeagle. This mostly...

    The head of a church body representing 20 million Protestants in Germany has resigned following allegations she neglected to take action against a man who was accused of abuse more than two decades ago. Annette Kurschus, the leader of the Evangelische Kirche in Deutschland (EKD), Germany's umbrella organization for Protestant churches, resigned on Monday, according to an announcement. She was accused of inadequately responding to the allegations against a colleague. Kurschus denied knowledge of the abuse but announced her resignation after it was revealed the former church worker is currently under criminal investigation. "[I]n the last few days, events have...

    Three days ago, the New York Post published an item on a recent tragedy in rural France—a “mob of about 10 knife-wielding thugs” had forced their way into a town celebration described by the mayor as “a very simple ball with a sound system organized by the village festival committee.” In the immediate aftermath, details about the identities and motive of the attackers weren’t “known” (but of course if you have a brain, they were); initial stories indicated a “brawl” while the prosecutor of Valence even suggested that the attack was to “settle a score” between rival criminal gangs. Now...
