The Pennsylvania Commonwealth Court has issued a 4-1 ruling that blocks the enforcement of a crucial law requiring election officials to reject mail-in ballots with missing or incorrect handwritten dates on their outer return envelopes. The case, brought forward by a coalition of organizations including the Black Political Empowerment Project, the League of Women Voters of Pennsylvania, and Common Cause Pennsylvania, challenged the legality of rejecting mail-in ballots solely based on the absence or inaccuracy of the handwritten date on the return envelope.

Daily Readings from the USCCB“The one who had received five talents came forward bringing the additional five. He said, ‘Master, you gave me five talents. See, I have made five more.’ His master said to him, ‘Well done, my good and faithful servant. Since you were faithful in small matters, I will give you great responsibilities.’” Matthew 25:20–21Oftentimes, when we are presented with a story of success versus tragedy, our attention goes to the tragedy first. The parable we are given today, the Parable of the Talents, presents us with three persons. Two of the people display stories of great...

The Biden-Harris Department of Justice has threatened to sue two small towns in Wisconsin over their refusal to use electronic voting machines to cast and tabulate votes, the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reported. In July, Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke threatened to file a lawsuit against the State of Wisconsin, the state Elections Commission and Administrator Meagan Wolfe, and the towns of Thornapple and Lawrence, as well as the towns’ clerks and boards of supervisors, because the towns allegedly did not offer voting equipment at their polling places in the April presidential primary election. Clarke warned the potential plaintiffs in a letter...

Since the beginning of the digital age, most of the world’s internet data has flowed through massive data centers in Northern Virginia.

I suspect Prof. Turley is right. Zuckerberg’s motives are less than noble. On August 27, my American Thinker colleague Monica Showalter posted Zuckerberg admits he was muscled by Democrats. She asked: Did a light bulb go on for Mark Zuckerberg about government censorship?Zuckerberg’s admission, a sort of mushy mea culpa, came as he was under pressure from the House Judiciary Committee to produce all manner of documents proving what he admitted in a letter to the Committee, and so much more. The letter may be found here. The Committee notes three primary Zuckerberg admissions: Graphic: X ScreenshotConstitutional law professor and...

On Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” House Speaker Emerita Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said that while she’s not familiar with the details of California’s legislation to allow illegal immigrants to get taxpayer assistance for buying homes, “making the American Dream of home ownership available to all people is something we have to do for people who are here now” and she wants to move illegal immigrants “to documented.” But ultimately, the issue is up to the states. Host Bill Maher asked, “The California lawmakers just passed a law — it hasn’t been signed by Gov. Newsom (D) — but...

“‘. . . All these things shall be added to you’” (Matthew 6:33). God will provide for those who seek what is eternal. What did Jesus mean when He said we are to seek God’s kingdom first? It means our top priority in life should be to seek what is eternal. That was the priority for the apostle Paul. In Acts 20 he was ready to leave for Jerusalem to defend the faith, not knowing if he might be put in prison or lose his life. The prospect of persecution did not deter him, for he said, “I do not...

A bevy of leading Democrats lined up party’s national convention to kiss the ring of left-wing megadonor Alex Soros, who showed his dominion over the pols by adding the photographs to his growing gallery on social media. The snaps are a veritable who’s who of the party’s establishment powerbrokers — and those anointed as “rising stars.” Many of the photos appear to have been taken from an airy skybox at the United Center in Chicago — where the party’s most elite donors paid up to $5 million to watch the action. “Who can blame a young upstart billionaire for showing...

All of us are precious and worthy of protection. Anyone who acts against this truth must be brought to heel. I spent an hour this evening cutting and pulling bushes. Normally, this would be an easy task, but in the late August heat and humidity, it was an unpleasant chore. By the time I had finished, I was covered with sweat, and little bits of bark and woody remains from the bushes clung to my shirt and shorts. It felt great to get inside and head for the shower. Still, I was doing the work I was meant to do....
