The Supreme Court on Wednesday unanimously ruled in favor of a pro-life pregnancy center fighting harassment from Democrat state officials. The high court ruled that a pro-life pregnancy center can challenge in federal court a sweeping subpoena from New Jersey’s attorney general demanding the identities of its financial supporters and other internal records. In First Choice Women’s Resource Centers v. Davenport, Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote for the unanimous court that the New Jersey pro-life group has standing to bring its First Amendment claim. “An injury in fact arises when a defendant burdens a plaintiff’s constitutional rights, and government demands for...

Computer scientist and futurist Ray Kurzweil believes humanity will achieve “longevity escape velocity” in just three years. The concept basically states that due to medical and technological advances, we will soon reach a point where our life expectancies lengthen by more than one year per year, effectively giving us time back on the clock. This is a very controversial concept, and one that—even if possible—would require widespread access to cutting edge medical technology. ============================================================================ Death and taxes—the twin inevitabilities of human life. At least, for the moment. If you ask some of the most prominent futurists in the world, death...

In 1963, USS Thresher imploded at test depth killing all 129 aboard—the Navy blamed a "piping failure" and closed the case. But declassified documents from the 2000s revealed the submarine had over 800 documented defects before diving, whistleblower testimony proved inspectors were pressured to approve faulty welds, and acoustic analysis of the final moments shows the crew knew they were dying for nearly 5 minutes as water flooded in. The Navy knew Thresher wasn't safe, sent her down anyway, then spent 60 years hiding that 129 men died from institutional negligence, not accident. 26 Minute VIDEO AT LINK...............

Tim Walz shows up. Thus far the piracy has been mostly internal with a Pakistani crew, Indonesians and Syrians taken hostage. That also says something about which sailors and ships felt comfortable operating near Somalia. Thus far three ships have been hijacked in a week by the Somalis. Somali officials who have benefited from massive amounts of foreign aid are arguing for negotiations and claiming that they...
