The blunder in the Supreme Court of Victoria state is another in a litany of mishaps AI has caused in justice systems around the world. Defense lawyer Rishi Nathwani, who holds the prestigious legal title of King’s Counsel, took “full responsibility” for filing incorrect information in submissions in the case...

  • Abolish the Senate. End the Electoral College. Pack the Court. Why the left can’t win without a new Constitution.

    NYT ^ | 08 14 2025 | Hosted by Ross Douthat
    After the great rebuke of 2024, many Democrats seem to think their party needs to become more moderate. But there’s another theory potent on the American left that believes Donald Trump’s election shows not just that American democracy is in danger, but that it doesn’t really work at all. What the country needs isn’t just a new policy agenda; it might need the kind of constitutional revolution — from adding new states, to packing the Supreme Court — that some Democrats already flirted with under Joe Biden. That’s the kind of argument that my guest today, Osita Nwanevu, makes in...

[snip] Here’s a short list of her greatest hits: April 7, 2015: “tbh whiteness fills me with a lot of hate. can’t really be a prude about it anymore. i’m often angry and hateful about it.” December 24, 2014: “I hate white men.

    The first thing they searched wasn’t symptoms. It was: “STD test without parents finding out.” That’s how Jamie, 17, ended up staring at a Planned Parenthood page on a cracked phone in a gas station parking lot, too scared to click anything. The itch had started a week ago, just after a party, just after their first hookup with another guy. “Could be nothing,” their brain said. But the pit in their stomach was louder. “Could be everything.”

    Beyond Meat has pushed back against rumors that it has filed for bankruptcy, calling recent media reports “unequivocally false.” The denial comes after several headlines suggested the company was headed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy – a court-supervised process that allows businesses or individuals to restructure debts while continuing to operate and repay creditors. According to Beyond Meat, the rumors are unfounded. In a statement to Plant Based News, a company spokesperson said: “We have not filed, nor are we planning to file, for bankruptcy.” Beyond Meat’s financial struggles Beyond Meat CEO Ethan Brown recently expressed disappointment at the company’s fall...

    Washington Examiner ^ | August 14, 2025 | Anna Giaritelli
    Five years ago, I was violently attacked and sexually assaulted in broad daylight in Washington, D.C., by a homeless man. He served time in federal prison for what he did to me. But if you look for evidence that the attack happened in the city’s crime statistics, you won’t find it. The truth of what happened to me and the D.C. government’s role in it is as much a public scandal as it is a personal trauma. D.C. police covered up the unspeakable wrong that the stranger did to me. Even though a judge sentenced my attacker to hard time...

    National Economics Editorial ^ | August 15, 2025 | Spencer P. Morrison
    President Trump blasted India with 50 percent tariffs. The full force of these tariffs will come into effect on August 27, 2025. President Trump’s instincts are spot on: India is on the verge of becoming China 2.0. Unfortunately, the tariffs will do little to stop this. Why? Because India isn’t coming for our manufacturing. They’re coming for our technology sector—and they’ve been remarkably successful both at scooping up jobs, and flying under the radar. Consider that America lost roughly 5 million jobs to China since 2001. During the same period, America lost up to 4 million technology jobs to India....

    [Catholic Caucus] Does Third Secret of Fatima warn of apostasy? Expert weighs in Joining me on this episode of The John-Henry Westen Show is LifeSite journalist Dr. Maike Hickson. We discussed the Third Secret of Fatima, hints that the true secret may have revealed apostasy in the Church and warned of the Second Vatican Council, liturgical abuses, and more. I opened the episode by asking Hickson about some of her latest findings on the Third Secret. She first noted Cardinal Raymond Burke’s recent homily for a Mass commemorating the 108th anniversary of Our Lady’s third apparition at Fatima in which...

    Author’s Note: Having recently read about the Shroud of Turin and heard the words “write about me” in a recent dream, this article was researched and composed. God the Creator has graciously preserved and given to humanity an astounding, miraculous, 2,000-year old gift, a precious holy relic. It is the Shroud of Turin, the recently authenticated burial cloth of Jesus Christ determined by extensive research and scientific examination to be the genuine article. For sure, the implications of this finding are far reaching. The 14.5 x 3.7 foot Shroud contains a face-up image of a man with blood stains on...

    A paranoid Los Angeles man has been blaring deafening horns that can be heard for miles around for several minutes every day — vowing to “keep on blowing” even after he was finally arrested. Gary Boyadzhayan, 50, has been torturing his neighbors in Van Nuys with the ear-splitting blaring since at least June, according to KABC7 — with cops finding “10 horns” when they finally kicked in his door on Wednesday. “It is a train’s air horn that has a reach of 3 1/2 miles,” one enraged neighbor, Robert Donovan, said of the horns, including some attached to trees out...

    Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) and Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton are locked in a close battle in the state’s bitterly contested Senate primary, according to an Emerson College Polling survey released Friday. The poll showed Cornyn essentially tied with Paxton. He led by 1 point, 30 percent to 29 percent, with 5 percent saying they prefer another candidate and 37 percent undecided. The margin is much closer than numerous other past polls that have shown Paxton with a lead over the longtime incumbent. “Seven months ahead of the Republican Primary, the contest between the four-term incumbent and the Attorney General...

    State prosecutors have charged two more migrants as part of an investigation into the trafficking of narcotics and firearms into Chicago by suspected members of the Venezuela-based Tren de Aragua street gang. The men are the fourth and fifth individuals known to be charged in the case. Judge Luciano Panici Jr. ordered Yefferson Camacho Cedeno, 27, and Jose Vasquez Hernandez, 30, detained, calling them “member[s] of a transnational criminal organization.” Camacho Cedeno is a Venezuelan citizen who is “not a legal resident of the United States.” He is charged with two counts of gunrunning and six additional charges tied to...

    Several hundred people gathered for a pro-Ukraine rally in Anchorage, Alaska, where U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian leader Vladimir Putin are set to meet Friday. The high-stakes summit — the first in-person meeting between an American president and Putin since the latter launched his full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, is meant to lay the ground for a ceasefire. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was not invited to the summit, scheduled to kick off around 11 a.m. local time at the Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson. Protesters started to gather early on Friday morning ahead of Putin's arrival in Anchorage, chanting...
