An innocent 17-year-old girl was shot in Sunday night’s chaos outside Manhattan’s historic Stonewall Inn after the Pride parade — while the 16-year-old who nailed her ended up accidentally shot herself by a pal, cops and sources said. The mayhem erupted around 10:15 p.m. when the 16-year-old, who was with some people, opened fire at another group during a street beef on Sheridan Square, just around the corner from the LGBTQ+ landmarked bar in Greenwich Village, law enforcement sources said. The young shooter struck the 17-year-old girl — a bystander who was not involved in the clash — in the...

We’ve previously covered Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson's dissent in Trump v. CASA Inc., yet it somehow manages to be worse than we initially thought. I think we can easily say that her dissent proves that she’s not a serious member of the Supreme Court. In the recent case concerning birthright citizenship and nationwide injunctions, while Justice Amy Coney Barrett delivered a majority opinion grounded in the Constitution and centuries of precedent, Jackson’s dissent veered into the realm of the absurd. Instead of offering a rigorous legal argument, Jackson resorted to rhetorical theatrics and bizarre hypotheticals, leaving observers wondering if she...

The anniversary of George Floyd’s death this past weekend was marked by claims that the country’s attempt to finally deal with its systemic racism had been brushed aside with “the resurgence of old power structures” — as put by University of Connecticut professor Manisha Sinha, who represents the NEW power structure where Indian immigrants get all the good affirmative action jobs. Inspired by a crack addict’s death, the Racial Reckoning required, among other things, putting black women in charge of everything. The plan was foolproof. It literally had no flaw. Unburdened by what has been, there was no telling what...
