Air DeSantis could be taking off again as the Florida governor’s crusade against the Biden border crisis left Martha’s Vineyard on notice. Haiti has become only the latest nation to fall into turmoil on President Joe Biden’s watch as the halcyon days of peace through strength were abandoned amidst a sense of chaos through corruption. Compounding crises haven’t impeded Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) from leading the Sunshine State to proactive solutions that included a callback to a tide-turning measure impacting sanctuary city sentiments. Appearing on “The Dana Loesch Show,” the statesman addressed how the federal government could impede deportation...

During a guest appearance on 'The View' on Wednesday, Georgia Democratic gubernatorial nominee Stacey Abrams - once a pro-lifer raised in a religious home - said she supports abortion 'until the time of birth' in some cases. When asked by the show's new conservative host, Alyssa Farah Griffin, if she believed there should be any limitation on abortion, Abrams said: 'Viability is the metric and that if a woman's health or life is endanger then viability extends until the time of birth.' Abrams added that abortion is a 'medical decision not a political one' and called various state-imposed limitations on...

After Kansas, we have five states that have some sort of abortion question.

Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita, a Republican, said this week that his office will investigate the doctor who provided an abortion to a 10-year-old rape victim from Ohio. In an interview with Fox News’ Jesse Watters this week, Rokita said his office will investigate Dr. Caitlin Bernard, an OB/GYN in Indianapolis who told the Indy Star in a story published on July 1 that she provided care to a 10-year-old patient who was six weeks and three days pregnant. Bernard was connected to the patient after receiving a call from a child abuse doctor in Ohio. Allegedly, Ohio’s pro-life laws...

The 1973 Roe v Wade ruling that guarantees the federal right to an abortion could be scrapped as early as today as the Supreme Court hands down multiple new opinions. The Court does not announce in advance which decisions will be made public, and instead only says that decisions will be declared. This week, the opinions are being released on Tuesday and Thursday. There are 18 cases that need final rulings before the justices depart for their traditional summer break, which usually happens by the end of June or early July. The case in question that the Supreme Court will...

Encouraging signs from the Wikipedia project, where co-founder and überpedian Jimmy Wales has acknowledged there are real quality problems with the online work. Criticism of the project from within the inner sanctum has been very rare so far, although fellow co-founder Larry Sanger, who is no longer associated with the project, pleaded with the management to improve its content by befriending, and not alienating (http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2004/12/30/142458/25), established sources of expertise. (i.e., people who know what they're talking about.) Meanwhile, criticism from outside the Wikipedia camp has been rebuffed with a ferocious blend of irrationality and vigor that's almost unprecedented in our...

Hon. Stephen Harper (Leader of the Opposition, CPC): Mr. Speaker, before I turn to my formal remarks I would like to begin with just a brief reply to the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister spoke at length, as we just heard, about rights in the Charter of Rights. I remind the Prime Minister that in our system of government, the Prime Minister does not decide or define our rights. The Prime Minister does not interpret the Charter of Rights. The Supreme Court of Canada does that. He asked the Supreme Court of Canada to endorse his interpretation and it just...
