As the Supreme Court prepares to release its decisions on affirmative action later this summer — likely ruling that the 14th Amendment and Civil Rights Act bar “the use of racial preferences by public colleges and universities” — a new poll from the Pew Research Center sheds light on Americans’ views on the subject.
There is a real chance the Clean Slate Act will pass the New York state legislature this week and be signed into law by Gov. Kathy Hochul in the near future.
Ukraine's much-anticipated counter-offensive is underway. Thus far, Russian forces are holding their own in most locations. Ukrainian forces have suffered casualties, losing at least one German Leopard 2 tank. The offensive seems to center on a push south along the Dnieper River deeper into the Zaporizhzhia Oblast, and other pushes ranging east on the Donetsk Oblast front line.
Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) has an anti-gay reputation in Democratic circles, but it is undeserved. DeSantis’s war on woke has included a series of bold moves such as solidifying parental rights in education and banning innocent children from attending drag shows. These sound like commonsense laws to most, but a key section of the American population fails to understand that.
Visiting the White House on Thursday, United Kingdom Prime Minister Rishi Sunak thanked President Joe Biden for what he described as a "very warm welcome." The two leaders pledged increased cooperation on trade, Artificial Intelligence, and climate change initiatives. They emphasized that the so-called "special relationship" remains strong.
Former University of Pennsylvania student and swimmer Paula Scanlan came out publicly this week as one of the swimmers who previously spoke anonymously about Lia Thomas and what the female swim team endured during the 2021-2022 season. As a former Penn student who sat next to Lia, then William, Thomas in a class, and the one who first reported on it in December 2021, Scanlan’s comments echoed the sentiments of my source at the time. It’s a scathing indictment of how the university forced college-age women to feel uncomfortable, unheard, and unsafe.
The retail giant Target has come under fire recently for promoting its so-called “Pride” collection, which featured, among other things, a “tuck-friendly” bathing suit and clothing designed for young children to support homosexuals celebrating their sexual preferences. The national backlash forced the company to remove some of its “Pride” merchandising. The merchandising rearrangement, however, apparently did not include its pet section. Anyone visiting a Target store and perusing the pet section will notice “Pride” toys and treats for their pets.
You might not think it’s a terrific idea for surgeons to rip out the sexual organs of people who believe they were born with the wrong gender. You would then hear from activists and the media that very smart people with Ph.D.s and lab coats invented this form of medical “care” and that there are fancy studies to back it up. Therefore, they say, you really should trust the experts over what your gut tells you.
Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie supposedly jumped into the 2024 GOP presidential primary to take down former President Donald Trump. But the reality is that Christie is only going to help Trump during the campaign, whether he means to or not.
Dos Pueblos High School in California is facing repercussions from Christian families for including a photograph called “Piss Christ” in its international baccalaureate curriculum.
NATO remains a critical alliance for U.S. national interests and for the defense of democratic sovereignty. Russia's brutal war on Ukraine proves that European defense alliances still matter. That said, NATO suffers a sustaining malady. Even as the United States must urgently prioritize its military resources in preparation for a conflict with China, most NATO members continue to rely on the U.S. to do the heavy lifting in Europe's defense.
This morning, Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) announced that he is proposing a "28th Amendment" to the United States Constitution. The governor wrote that its purpose will be to “help end our nation’s gun violence crisis” and that his proposal is necessary because “The American people are sick of Congress’ inaction.”
