The Uvalde school massacre could have been prevented The disastrous police response demands further scrutinyโ€”and so does another side of the horrific tragedy.

With the release of new harrowing footage of the tragedy, this statement bears repeating: The Uvalde massacre could have been prevented.

While the disastrous police response deserves scrutiny, so does another side of the horrific tragedy: how the shooter was able to obtain an AR-15.

"And she usually stops crying, because she's so scared"

That's something a father just said about his child, with a little chuckle in his voice.

I didn't think my opinion of this blowdried asskiss could drop any lower, but there we are.

This is your daily reminder that there is clear, documented evidence that Andrew Cuomo sexually harassed multiple women.

Idaho OBGYN exodus continues: state lost 35% of obstetricians since abortion ban

The exodus of Idaho obstetricians continues: a new study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association shows Idaho has lost a little more than a third of its OBGYNs since the repeal of Roe V. Wade in 2022.

Before Idaho banned almost all abortions in August 2022, there were 268 OBGYNs in the state. Today, there are 174 obstetricians serving the stateโ€™s roughly one million women, 600,000 of whom are of reproductive age.

The 35% decline is in line with falling numbers captured last year.

Is she undocumented?

Ghislaine Maxwell is not a U.S. citizen. She was born in France and holds British citizenship. Maxwell has lived in the U.S. for many years.

She got due process, but brown ladies selling fruit do not have that luxury.

We know white, er..I mean why.

A New World Order of Tariffs There is no going back to the free-trade system. A fragmented international economy divided by tariff barriers looks increasingly inevitable.

I hate to break it to these eminent Americans, but the US hasn't been a free trade leader for many years, and how you can write so much about trade while hardly mentioning those that carry it out, or indeed services, or technology, or supply chains... nationalinterest.org/feature/a-ne...

Article 1, Section 9 & 10 have been removed from the official Govt website on the US Constitution. Among numerous points:
โ€ขSection 9 forbids suspending The Privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus
โ€ขSection 10 forbids ex post facto laws

This better be a joke. Ignoring these is full blow dictatorship

In 2016, Ghislaine Maxwell falsely stated, under oath, that she was not aware that Jeffrey Epstein recruited underage girls for sex (you know, the ones she was actually recruiting on his behalf). She was charged with two counts of perjury for this.

Remind me why we give a shit what she says now?
