Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine (R) said he vetoed legislation protecting children from transgender procedures because of personal appeals from families, rather than lessons learned from science-based research. “Parents many times look me in the eye and said, ‘Governor, my child would not be alive today. They would have taken their life but for the ability to participate in this program,'” DeWine told Eyewitness News on Wednesday. “For me that was very telling,” the Ohio governor said, after vetoing the bill to protect kids from commercial pressure to accept irreversible and experimental transgender-related hormones and surgeries.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams on Thursday announced a lawsuit against more than a dozen charter bus and transportation companies involved in busing migrants to New York City, seeking hundreds of millions of dollars for the care of migrants in the self-described "sanctuary" city.

Women who are not pregnant are stockpiling abortion pills, according to a new study published in JAMA Internal Medicine. The practice of requesting a prescription for abortion pills without being pregnant is called “advance provision.” Such requests spiked during two recent periods, including after the May 2, 2022 leak of the Supreme Court’s draft decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization and after conflicting rulings in April 2023 about the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) approval of mifepristone, the first drug used in a two-drug medication abortion, Mother Jones reported of the study. The research was conducted by...

The Bishops Break Up a Schismatic Coup Attempt For the time will come when they will not endure the sound doctrine; but, having itching ears, will heap to themselves teachers after their own lusts. – 2 Timothy 4:3 When an unclean spirit goes out of a man it wanders through waterless country looking for a place to rest and cannot find one. Then it says, “I will return to the home I came from.” But on arrival, finding it unoccupied, swept and tidied, it then goes off and collects seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they go in...

In light of today’s news, I thought I would try to take a step back and provide perspective on what this is really all about. I first became concerned about @Harvard when 34 Harvard student organizations, early on the morning of October 8th before Israel had taken any military actions in Gaza, came out publicly in support of Hamas, a globally recognized terrorist organization, holding Israel ‘solely responsible’ for Hamas’ barbaric and heinous acts. How could this be? I wondered. When I saw President Gay’s initial statement about the massacre, it provided more context (!) for the student groups’ statement...

Trump respectfully moves this Court for an order to show cause why prosecutors Jack Smith, Molly Gaston, and Thomas Windom (collectively, the “prosecutors”) should not be held in contempt for violating the Court’s order “stay[ing] any further proceedings that would move this case towards trial or impose additional burdens of litigation on Defendant.” Doc. 186 at 2 (the “Stay Order”).” “The Stay Order is clear, straightforward,...

The legal challenge to the Florida Democratic Party’s (FDP) decision to list only President Joe Biden’s name on the party’s presidential primary ballot in March will go before a federal court next week. Florida law says that the names of unopposed candidates shall not appear on the ballot. That means that as of now, there will not be a Democratic presidential primary election in March in Florida. Judge Allen Winsor will hold a hearing on Jan. 10 in the U.S. District Court for the Northern Division of Florida in Tallahassee on whether to issue a preliminary injunction to require Florida...

Al Sharpton, the original racial grievance merchant, has chimed in on the Claudine Gay firing — and is getting slapped for his trouble by sports media legend Sage Steele. “This is an attack on every Black woman in this country who’s put a crack in the glass ceiling,” blathered Sharpton. He blatantly ignored the fact that Gay was caught red-handed engaged in serial plagiarism, including of an acknowledgments section. And of course Sharpton, who infamously led an antisemitic march during the Crown Heights pogrom of 1991, couldn’t spare a word for Gay’s passive and cowardly backing of antisemitic thugs at...

Having triumphed in the global conflicts of the 20th century, liberal democracies entered the new millennium with every expectation that the wins would keep on coming. Europe would continue to integrate and strengthen its liberal supranational institutions, as expanding the European Union, the eurozone, and NATO had no downsides. Participation in the global economy would force China to democratize as its growing middle class demanded greater freedoms. Growing prosperity would also strengthen young democracies in India, South America, and post-Soviet Russia. A two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict would stabilize the Middle East and pave the way for reform in...

Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley was ripped by her chief competitor and Iowa leaders Thursday after telling an audience of New Hampshire voters that they would “correct” the results of the Hawkeye State’s caucuses. “We have an opportunity to get this right, and I know we’ll get it right. I trust you,” Haley, 51, said during a town hall event in Milford Wednesday. “You know Iowa starts it. You know that you correct it … you know that my sweet state of South Carolina brings it home,” she added after pausing for laughter from the audience.

Are we okay? I mean as a society. Like, are we good? Cuz this whole Stanley cup thing is getting a little out of hand. Stanley just released a Valentine's Day edition of their extremely popular insulated cup and people went absolutely nuts over it. The special edition cup, which, like all Stanley cups, keeps your beverage either hot or cold and can apparently survive a fire, cost a whopping $45, and is now going for upwards of $200 on eBay. Not joking. Although the holiday is over a month away, the double-wall vacuum-insulated tumblers priced at $45 have sold...
