America’s diner may always be open, but it’s permanently closing a location that’s fed generations. Denny’s has closed its location in Oakland, California after 54 years due to high crime in the city. The restaurant was located at 601 Hegenberg Road.

Last April, an appellate court issued a splintered 2-1 ruling endorsing the DOJ’s unprecedented misuse of the statute, a law passed under the...

If you’ve never heard of John Money, perhaps it’s time you took the redpill. Like many sexologists, Money believed pedophilia was a harmless sexuality which, when practiced “properly,” led to the child suffering no harm. In fact, Money’s theories on pedophilia were so sympathetic that, to this day, his work is prominently featured on the website of the North American Man-Boy Love Association (NAMBLA)– one of the longest-established pederast rights groups. In the 1990s, Money allowed himself to be featured in interviews with Paidika, a pedophile psychology journal named after the Greek adjective for “boyish,” and has been used by...

This is a case that has dragged out for five years and the merits of the arguments coming from both sides seem rather vague.

The judge apparently agreed, but Musk’s attorneys argue...
