...using online chat groups to drug and rape women. An international police operation spanning seven countries has uncovered highly organized networks of offenders who drug and rape their partners and use online chat groups to aid and encourage their “horrifying” assaults, authorities said on Thursday. In most cases, the victims are women who are sedated before being raped and sexually assaulted, Europol and Britian’s National Crime Agency (NCA) said. The online groups provide a haven for predominantly male perpetrators to coordinate assaults, share information as well as post videos and photos of the abuse, they said.

Carroll sued Trump in 2019 for defamation, and then she sued him again in 2022 for defamation and battery after New York enacted a law allowing the victims of sexual abuse to file civil claims for past incidents. In an unusual quirk, the second case — the one filed in 2022 — went to trial first, and the jury awarded Carroll $5 million...

The first Project 2029 proposal is not about affordability, healthcare, or foreign policy. No, the Democrats' first proposal concerns children's online safety: the issue fueling lawmakers' bipartisan push to impose greater government control over the internet.

A University of Tennessee professor who was fired after calling Charlie Kirk a “disgusting psychopath” in the wake of his assassination would receive $1.9 million under a tentative settlement approved by the university system’s Board of Trustees Audit and Compliance Committee in a nonpublic session held after the board’s annual meeting Monday, eight months after she sued the school over the firing.

yielding 'low-earning' jobs. The Education Department has approved a plan to cut federal loans to college programs that result in low-earning jobs – a move the Trump administration sees as an opportunity to rein in runaway borrowing, while critics argue it is a blow to students seeking degrees in such fields as music, public service and religious studies. The department announced the so-called "rule" Monday for its new Student Tuition and Transparency System and Earnings Accountability initiative – after saying in April, when the rule-drafting process started, that the federal student loan portfolio was approaching $1.7 trillion as "more students are left financially worse off than if they had never attended college.”

A Paris politician blamed Americans and US air conditioning for the record-breaking heat wave in Europe that has resulted in more than 1,300 excess deaths. After US tourists mocked France over the lack of air conditioning across the country amid 104-degree temperatures, Audrey Pulvar, deputy mayor of Paris for international relations, claimed the situation was partly America’s fault. “As the second-largest emitter of greenhouse gas emissions in the world, you bear a significant amount of responsibility for global warming and the consequences we, in France, are experiencing. Your cities, which are 90 percent air conditioned, are not unrelated to this,” she added.

In its never-ending mission to be the most “progressive” country in the world, the Netherlands just murdered a child. It was the first time a doctor has legally “assisted in the death of a terminally ill child aged between 1 and 12,” according to Sophie Hermans, the minister of health, welfare, and sport. he Netherlands was the first country in the world to legalize voluntary euthanasia in April 2002, before expanding this law in 2024 to include children.

The TQ+ Threat To LGB Rights

The return to the narrative of gays as queers, freaks, and child-obsessed is dangerous. Support for marriage equality from the center and center-right is nosediving. Gallup shows a decline from 71 percent to 65 percent support for gay marriage among all Americans in just three years. Among Independents, support has dropped by six points in four years, from 73
to 67 percent; and among Republicans by 18 points, from 55 percent in 2022 to just 37 percent today — setting us back 20 years. On the morality of same-sex relations, the drops are more acute: down 10 points among Indies and 21 points among Republicans. As someone who played a part in bringing those Republicans and moderates around to gay marriage, it’s distressing to see what the queer overreach has done — especially in red states.

Hasan asks: “Did you know that you can’t have a civil or secular marriage in Israel?”

Alive and Kicking: News of Woke’s Death Is Greatly Exaggerated
Topic: Political Correctness

Just a few years ago, wearing a sombrero on Halloween could get you banished from polite society for the social crime of “cultural appropriation.” Nutrition experts argued that preventing obesity was a form of racialized “fatphobia,” even as scientific names of songbirds were purged in a moral campaign presumably aimed at white supremacy. Meanwhile, a slew of studies and papers and articles argued that punctuality, excellence, and other forms of professionalism are “the systemic, institutionalized centering of whiteness.” Today, as universities are dismantling their DEI bureaucracies, corporations are scaling back antiracism training, and academic trigger warnings and diversity pledges have become punch lines rather than cudgels, it is tempting to believe that the excesses of the woke movement have not just peaked but are a thing of the past, a passing fever dream of a peculiar era.
