    Back on May 19, I wrote about a federal district judge in Texas who issued a temporary restraining order blocking the Biden Administration’s plan to prioritize the distribution of COVID assistance to women and minority business owners under the Restaurant Revitalization Fund.On Thursday, in a case where a federal district judge in Tennessee refused to grant injunctive relief regarding the same program, the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals entered an emergency stay blocking the same Biden Administration plan.Let’s revisit for just a moment the comment by Chief Justice Roberts that “there are no Obama judges or Trump judges”.US District Court...

    By -6433 That the people who write Salon, or Vox, might not be all and entirely up to date with reality isn’t that much of a surprise. After all, how much reality to you get to encounter living the nice Brooklyn Life? But we would rather hope that those who write the New York Times have a slightly closer relationship with the truth than the arts graduates who can’t do art. Bryce Covert shows us that there are still things the NYT needs to know though: I agree with her on one point: It is the American way to champion...

    We evaluated the amount of United States government aid (total and military) as well as trade policy with the top 50 countries on the Open Doors persecution of Christians list website (https://www.opendoorsusa.org/2018-world-watch-list-report/). The primary source noted of persecution in each country in the Open Doors list was: Islamic oppression (n=33), dictatorial paranoia (n=6), religious nationalism* (n=5), communist and post-communist oppression (n=4), or organized crime and corruption (n=2). We used the Office of the United States Trade Representative website (https://ustr.gov/) and the US Agency of International Development website (https://www.usaid.gov/) as the primary sources of information supplemented by Google searches. We collected:...

    The unmasking of Michelle Obama the ‘returned activist’ went down in history at a Virginia high school on Wednesday, February 5, 2014. Five years into the Obama regime, Michelle came out of the White House as the activist she’s always been to instruct high school students that they are entitled to “free” government handouts. “Don’t leave money on the table,” she said. In a personal trajectory that went from telling kids what to eat to teaching them how to game the system, it’s no longer encouraging students to be the best they can be but how to get the most...

    The number of Americans receiving financial aid from the government has soared since the financial crisis, and this fact is frequently used as evidence of American failure. The Drudge Report highlights today that 'one in six' Americans are now receiving government aid, which is truly a shocking statistic. Programs such as Medicaid are already overwhelmed, and new health laws haven't even taken effect yet: USA Today: "Virtually every Medicaid director in the country would say that their current enrollment is the highest on record," says Vernon Smith of Health Management Associates, which surveys states for Kaiser Family Foundation. The program...

    ROCHESTER, N.Y. (AP) - A Family Court judge who last year stirred debate about parental responsibilities ordered a second drug-addicted woman to have no more children until she proves she can look after the seven she already has. The 31-year-old mother, identified in court papers only as Judgette W., lost custody of her children, ranging in age from eight months to 12 years, in child-neglect hearings dating back to 2000. Six are in foster care at state expense and one lives with an aunt. The youngest child and two others tested positive for cocaine at birth and all seven "were...

    In my social problems class my professor seems at times to be a communist, sometimes a socialist, and other just liberal. He never gives a conservative point of view, and the more he does this the further conservative I become, in the sense I feel obliged to argue the other side. In class recently the discussion was on Family and myths in America. One of many examples (some of which were accurate) came the brief discussion on welafre. Basically it was in his opinion (of course not fact) that welfare doesn't lead to damn near anything bad. The conventional wisdom...
