Roe never deserved to be written into law in the first place. The conservative justices never said they would preserve it, and they’ve done their duty to the Constitution by finally abandoning it.

It used to be that Republican politicians with no fixed views on abortion could pray loudly for an end to Roe v. Wade. They knew that their stances would please abortion foes while not alarming the pro-choice majority.

I’ve seen enough Viking videos to know that the brave who don’t think things through often end up with hatchets in their skulls. And that’s what has happened to the finances of crypto “investors” suckered by a marketing campaign that preyed on their vanity and their laziness.

January 6 was indeed, as many people have remarked, a banana republic-worthy event, but the same would be true of a prosecution of a former president.

A U.S. Court of Appeals has recently ruled that North Carolina charter day schools cannot have dress codes based on a child’s gender because as a “state actor,” such codes violate laws on equal protection. Under the ruling, girls can no longer be required to wear dresses.

A bipartisan proposal in the Senate would at least limit access by the mentally ill. What it wouldn’t do is prevent the not-yet-certified insane from buying these guns. The worst mass shooter in U.S. history — the monster who killed 58 and wounded over 500 in Las Vegas — was just your average loner with low self-esteem.
