The call is coming from inside the house. The Supreme Court’s decision in Louisiana v. Callais has made progressives even more determined to delegitimize the court — and Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson is among them. In a dissent involving a post-decision procedural question, Jackson accused the majority of acting out of pure partisanship. Her opinion said that the court “unshackles itself” from all constraint and “dives into the fray” (meaning the partisan fray). In its jurisprudence, “principles give way to power.” It is acting with an “abandon” that is “unwarranted and unwise.” These harsh charges occasioned a stinging and well-deserved...

It's vitriolic because it just encourages the asinine behaviors and reactions in those whose default setting is to be reductive of people,' he added.

During an exclusive interview with The Western Journal this week, Dr. Monique Yohanan said Americans have a right to question the country’s vaccine schedule and must learn to advocate for themselves in medical settings. Yohanan, who is director of the Center for Better Health at Independent Women, has an impeccable academic resume. She received her medical degree from the Dartmouth/Brown Program and a Master of Public Health from Johns Hopkins. She did her residency in internal medicine at Harvard and a fellowship in geriatrics at Stanford.

In clips circulating on social media, women are seen running through crowded streets while groups of men pursue them. Moments later, the women are surrounded, their clothing torn off as they are groped and assaulted, while bystanders film and shout, with some appearing to cheer. In a statement, they described the Alue-Do festival as a fertility ritual, saying symbolic acts such as dragging and pouring sand on individuals are traditionally meant to invoke blessings for couples struggling to conceive

'How did we get here as a culture?' Paltrow asked Swisher. 'Obviously there's so much revenue and profit driving this whole thing, that's at the heart of it,' she continued. 'But how do you think we got to this place in culture where nothing matters and now all that matters is kind of these super rich white dudes who are breaking rules, setting rules, seemingly not caring so much about the downstream impact on everything, from health to culture.' Swisher responded, 'I think we have an idolatry of innovators, an idolatry of wealth, and if you're wealthy, you must be...

The child of the man who jumped out can be heard saying, “Daddy, hurry up, they are waiting for you.” When the guest is done, he runs back to the truck, saying, “I’m super sorry, I had to.” He starts to climb back into his seat but the cast member driving the truck says, “Don’t climb back up there, come over here.” As he climbs along the side of the truck to the cab, he repeats, “I had to.”

Note also that Abdou calls for Virginia Tech students to “study what our mujahideen did.” To get an idea of how deep the rot is in American universities, consider the fact that this malignant jihadi is invited to speak at Virginia Tech, but that the same university would never, ever host a foe of jihad violence and Sharia oppression of women. Or if it did, that speaker would be vilified for weeks in the campus paper, and menaced during the event, if it took place at all and didn’t get canceled altogether. “Virginia Tech speaker calls for ‘end of US...

Usually, having an armed officer at school sort of helps deter the whole school shooting thing. I'm not sure if that's the case here. They still haven't found the gun! Here's what happened. This happened just before school let out on Monday, so at least there wasn't much left of the day (I guess?). The police are calling this "unfortunate and embarrassing," but that's not even the half of it. It's a lost gun on school property. More from that story above: Authorities say hallway surveillance images indicate that a limited number of people entered the restroom, but authorities have...

In Parashat Emor, the Torah introduces one of the most unusual services of the Holy Temple: the lechem hapanim, the Showbread — twelve specially baked loaves that are 'placed before God' each week, remaining warm and fresh from Shabbat to Shabbat. What was the purpose of this bread? Why was it placed 'before God' and what does it mean for us today? The Torah portion of Emor ( Leviticus 21 : 1 - 24 : 23 ) is read on Shabbat, 15 Iyar 5786 - May 2, 2026 Rabbi Chaim Richman Jerusalem Lights | Torah for Everyone

Justice Samuel Alito tore into Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson’s lone dissent in a high-stakes Louisiana redistricting dispute on Monday, calling her arguments "baseless and insulting" after the Supreme Court decided to fast-track implementing its recent redistricting ruling ahead of the 2026 midterms. Alito used a concurring opinion, joined by Justices Neil Gorsuch and Clarence Thomas, to directly rebuke Jackson, saying her "dissent in this suit levels charges that cannot go unanswered." "The dissent goes on to claim that our decision represents an unprincipled use of power," Alito wrote, adding that that was a "groundless and utterly irresponsible charge." The clash...

sequence is really doing inside human beings. Only by recognizing that SARS-CoV-2 and its derivatives are running a misplaced bat reproductive hibernation maintenance program, complete with amyloid plugs, torpor metabolism, immune tolerance, and persistent IFN-gamma orchestration, can we develop mitigation strategies and treatments that actually match the underlying pathology instead of fighting the wrong battle. Until that biological reality is acknowledged, we will continue to apply mismatched solutions to a system that was never designed to run in our species.

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. – Communist and socialist groups called for a "revolution" at a May Day rally in Minneapolis Friday, highlighting the growing influence of far-left organizations at an event traditionally centered on workers’ rights. Some of those demonstrators denounced capitalism and pushed for the seizure of private property and the means of production, marking a shift in tone from past May Day rallies that primarily focused on labor issues. Protesters on the ground outlined a range of demands, including rent caps tied to income, a reduced work week and the redistribution of wealth from billionaires. The rally, which drew well...

Omega-3 supplements are popular among many older adults to help combat age-related issues. They are often marketed as supporting cardiovascular health and reducing the risk of cognitive decline and dementia. However, a new study published in The Journal of Prevention of Alzheimer's Disease suggests that these oral capsules may actually be linked to a faster decline in cognitive function. Many senior citizens swear by oral supplements and the benefits they bring. However, the scientific evidence is mixed. While animal and observational studies have indicated possible protective effects on the aging brain, controlled trials with humans have not shown such cognitive...

Magistrate Judge Zia Faruqui slammed attorneys during a Monday afternoon court hearing over the conditions of Allen's imprisonment. Allen was placed on suicide watch when he was first jailed. 'At a minimum I should be apologizing to him. We are obligated to make sure he’s taken care of. Mr. Allen, I’m sorry that things have not been the way they are supposed to,' the judge said. Faruqui went on to compare Allen's imprisonment to defendants arrest for rioting at the Capitol on January 6, 2021. 'To me, it’s extremely disturbing that he was put in five-point restraints, a person with...

'He was hiding in plain sight.' ANebraska middle school teacher is accused of utilizing artificial intelligence to create more than a hundred child sexual abuse images — and the teacher allegedly masturbated to the disturbing child pornography while at a school, according to multiple reports. The Nebraska State Patrol said in a statement that 47-year-old Matthew Lund was arrested at his Omaha home at approximately 6:15 a.m. April 22. Lund was booked into Douglas County Corrections and charged with possession of child sexual abuse material and distribution of child sexual abuse material. A judge set Lund's bond at $1 million...

A high school student in Philadelphia exposed how his classmates are struggling to read easy words and comprehend relatively simple sentences in a viral series of videos. And he may have gotten in hot water for his trouble. The videos, posted on TikTok, show the teenagers failing to read a sentence on a piece of paper while being filmed at the city’s Preparatory Charter School of Mathematics, Science, Technology and Careers. In the clip, made by user “whatthevek” earlier this week, not a single high school-aged student was able to read the sentence, “She wore a silhouette of clothes that...

I still remember fondly the time I got an A- on my 8th grade earth science paper. It was one of my proudest moments as a student. Meanwhile, as MIT boasts, some folks are, well, a bit beyond that. Physics is riddled with paradoxes: Think of how information leaks from supposedly inescapable black holes or how the conventional laws of physics break down at the quantum scale. Sabrina Gonzalez Pasterski '13 believes that within these apparent contradictions, new discoveries await. Ah yes, "how the conventional laws of physics break down at the quantum scale." I think about that often! Well,...

Archaeologists in Egypt recently uncovered a massive statue believed to depict King Ramses II, the pharoah believed to be a major character in the Old Testament. The statue was found at the Tel Pharaoh site in Husseiniya Center, Sharqia Governorate, the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities said on April 22. The site is in Egypt's Nile Delta, northeast of Cairo. Officials also described the statue as "remarkable" in size, weighing between 5 and 6 tons and measuring over 7 feet long. In a translated statement, the ministry described the statue as being in a "relatively poor condition of preservation,"...
