A federal judge on Wednesday overruled a Maine school district that banned a parent from school property after he exposed library books promoting transgenderism and pornography.
The U.S. District Court for Maine issued a temporary restraining order allowing Shawn McBreairty back on school property after the father filed a lawsuit claiming the ban violated his constitutional rights. The court ruled that the First Amendment protects McBreairty's comments at board meetings, where he has spoken out against sexualized school library books. The court also determined that the school board selectively applied its speech policy, which prohibits "vulgarity," against McBreairty.
The New York Times published a series of op-eds by its opinion columnists Thursday that began with the phrase "I Was Wrong About." As part of the collection, Bret Stephens admitted he was wrong to label Trump supporters "appalling."
Stephens said, "The worst line I ever wrote as a pundit" was the first he ever wrote about Trump: "If by now you don’t find Donald Trump appalling, you’re appalling."
"This opening salvo, from August 2015, was the first in what would become dozens of columns denouncing Trump as a unique threat to American life, democratic ideals and the world itself," he continued. Stephens said he "regret[s] almost nothing

Court Is at Risk When It Strays From Public Opinion replies
Welp, here we go again — with more ignorance of the role of the United States Supreme Court in the aftermath of the Roe overturn. Only this time, the idiocy comes from within SCOTUS, courtesy of Elena Kagan, who on Thursday claimed the legitimacy of the Court is tied to its conformity with public opinion.
Roll that over in your mind a couple of times.
Silly me. All this time, I thought the Supreme Court’s role was that of final arbiter of the law, thus ensuring the American people with the promise of equal justice under the law and, thereby, as guardian of the Constitution

The Biden administration on Friday announced a new $270 million security assistance package for Ukraine, which includes High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems and 36,000 rounds of ammunition.
John Kirby, the White House’s national security spokesperson, said the aid is the 16th drawdown of equipment under President Biden’s drawdown authority, which allows him to send allies weapons from the Pentagon’s stockpile. It is the second security assistance package Mr. Biden has approved this month. In early July, the administration announced a $400 million security aid package for Ukraine. Mr. Kirby said the U.S. will continue to aid Ukraine as it fights to fend off Russian invaders. “We will have more packages

RIGHT SIDE BROADCASTING: President Donald J. Trump, 45th President of the United States of America, will hold a rally in Prescott Valley, Arizona on Friday, July 22, 2022, at 7:00PM MST. He will deliver remarks at the Findlay Toyota Center in support of Kari Lake for Governor, Blake Masters for U.S. Senate, and the entire Arizona Trump Ticket.
The protest was staged at the Uffizi Galleries where the 10-foot tall painting is housed alongside other works by the 15th-century artist. A trio of demonstrators arrived with a sign reading, in Italian, “Last Generation, No Gas No Coal,” police said. One activist helped hold the banner while the other two attached themselves to the 540-year-old masterpiece. All three were reportedly members of a protest group called “Ultima Generazione,” which translates to “Last Generation.”No damage was done to the painting. Its protective covering was installed several years ago.(Snip)Affixing one’s self to high-profile paintings has become a summer 2022 trend. In recent weeks,
Since war is universally understood as a military engagement between two opposing nations or groups of nations in alliance with each other, few realize that the United States is already in a war -- a world war. It’s not a shooting war like World War I and World War II (or the Cold War, which we will consider as WW III), but the stakes are just as high and deadly. Waged by globalist elites and marketed under banners such as “the Green New Deal,” “Build Back Better,” and the “Great Reset,” this war is being waged by cabals and organizations both within and from outside our borders.
Two children have tested positive for monkeypox in the United States, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention revealed Friday. One is a toddler from California; the other is in an infant who is not a U.S. resident and was 'transiting through' Washington D.C. Neither had contact with each other. Health officials said both children were 'doing well', but warned children under the age of eight are at high risk of severe monkeypox. It is thought both children likely caught the virus from 'household contacts'. Dr Rochelle Walensky said the children both had contact with gay or bisexual men—the community where most cases are being detected in the current outbreak.

Beware of false assurances from city officials, scrambling to save face — I don’t expect the Central Park Boathouse to come back to life any time soon after the restaurant shuts its doors in October.

Former First Lady Melania Trump is slamming her former chief of staff, Stephanie Grisham, for claiming Trump did not want to speak out against the violence unfolding at the U.S. Capitol on January 6 and, in fact, says Grisham is guilty of “dereliction of duty” for not informing her boss about the event. (Tweet) The first lady defended her duties on January 6 in a statement posted on social media:
On January 6 2021, I was fulfilling one of my duties as First Lady, the United States of America. And accordingly, I was unaware of what was simultaneously transpiring at the US Capitol building.
The Loeb Boathouse restaurant and event space in Central Park, a New York City landmark and tourist favorite featured in films and TV shows from “When Harry Met Sally” to “Sex in the City,” is closing its doors after almost four decades. In a filing with the state Department of Labor last week, the restaurant said it plans to permanently close effective Oct. 16, citing “rising labor and costs of goods.” A total of 163 union workers will face layoffs as a result. The restaurant, established in 1983, marks the third chapter in the building’s history. The boathouse was first
An entire North Carolina police force has quit in protest at the town’s newly hired “progressively responsible” town manager — who the police chief said created a “hostile work environment.”

Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry, a Republican, said this week that cities that do not enforce the state’s pro-life abortion laws will have their funding withheld.
Landry’s announcement came as a judge blocked the state’s abortion trigger law once again. The law, as Townhall covered, bans most abortions. The law has been blocked before as abortion providers and advocates challenge it in court. Gov. John Bel Edwards, who is a pro-life Democrat, supports the legislation. If the law goes back into effect, officials in New Orleans have said they will not enforce it.

Any reasonable person would think that Old Joe Biden’s COVID diagnosis, coming after he was vaccinated, twice boosted, and (almost) always masked, was evidence that the Left’s entire COVID narrative was false. But the concept of disconfirming evidence doesn’t even exist on the Left; no matter what happens, the narrative must be preserved. CNN medical analyst Leana Wen took to the pages of the Washington Post Thursday to shore up several of the Left’s sagging narratives, pretending for the length of an entire column both that Biden has been a successful president and that his COVID agenda has been a resounding success.

In what’s now the one positive announcement of Biden’s year and a half or so in office, the White House recently announced that the president, who’s gotten all the jabs and boosters, has received a positive Covid test.

With both rent and homebuyer costs soaring to record highs, the eternal question of whether to rent or buy has never been tougher.
According to a report from Realtor.com on Thursday, renting is now cheaper than buying a starter home in three-quarters of the top 50 US cities—a stark change from a few months ago, when buying typically cost less. Median rent hit a record high of $1,876 in June, up 14 percent from a year ago—but that still represented a monthly savings of $561 from the monthly cost of buying a first home, which jumped to $2,437, the report found. As recently as January, buying a starter home

In opening comments Wednesday for the Senate Judiciary Committee hearings on so-called “assault weapons,” Democrat Senator and gun-confiscation enthusiast Dick Durbin threatened that it is “time to name and shame” the makers of AR-15s, the rifle Democrats have demonized as “weapons of war.” Gun manufacturers aren’t the trigger-pullers behind mass shootings, but they are a much easier and more politically useful scapegoat to target than the criminally insane minds of the actual shooters. Democrats aren’t interested in ending gun violence anyway; if they were, they would be holding hearings on the shootings perpetrated by gang members in Democrat-run inner cities, by terrorists, and by the criminally insane.
If there is one concept that captured the brilliant vision of President James Madison for government, it was his statement in Federalist 51: “Ambition must be made to counteract ambition.” The use of checks and balances to prevent the concentration of power was key to the stability of the constitutional system that he created.
