Topic: Abortion

A key manufacturer of the United States' most widely used abortion pill asked the Supreme Court on Saturday to restore access to the drug, a day after a lower court halted mail delivery of the medication. Mifepristone, which prevents pregnancy progression, is used alongside misoprostol, which empties the uterus, in the majority of abortions in the United States. It is approved for use up to 10 weeks into a pregnancy. Danco Laboratories, which manufactures mifepristone and is one of two companies distributing the drug in the United States, asked the top court to stay a Friday decision by the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals that temporarily blocked abortion providers from prescribing and shipping the drug nationwide.

...it feels like we’re still operating off the same post-George Floyd framework. Not a New Idea, Just a Bigger Number.
The federal minimum wage is still $7.25 and hasn’t moved in years, so of course this was going to come up again. States have already gone higher in a lot of places. But jumping to $25 federally is a different kind of move, especially when it’s being packaged as someting bigger than just a pay increase. And it’s not just a fringe idea. It’s all aboard for the progressive Democrats.

“Time to say goodbye,” the message by the late US convicted sex offender allegedly concluded, according to the paper’s source. Late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein’s purported suicide note has remained locked up at a courthouse for years, out of reach of investigators, the New York Times has reported.

The Epstein mania turns lethal
Topic: Political Correctness
Source: Spiked Online
No doubt we’ll learn more about the motives of Cole Allen, the suspected shooter at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, during future court proceedings. But his rambling ‘manifesto’, emailed to family members minutes before Saturday’s assassination attempt on Donald Trump, gives us a good idea of what was driving him. ‘I am a citizen of the United States of America’, he writes. ‘What my representatives do reflects on me. And I am no longer willing to permit a paedophile, rapist and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes.’ That’s right, Allen believes that the US president is a paedophile and a rapist. Yes, there are also critical but vague allusions to US foreign policy in Allen’s missive. But it’s the distinctly Epstein Files-inspired claim that Trump and ‘many other criminals in this administration’ have been engaged in the sexual abuse of minors that is used to seemingly justify Allen’s actions.

A Doctor’s Prescription for Raising Good, Strong Sons. There’s lots of talk these days about the “masculinity crisis” and building boys into men. From best-selling writer Jordan Peterson to David Goggins and his motivational videos to Brett and Kate McKay’s website, The Art of Manliness, our culture annually produces countless words of encouragement and often worthwhile advice regarding the formation of men. In seeking out some insights on this male metamorphosis, however, I decided to look closer to home for my maharishi of manhood, someone who hadn’t profited by a bestseller or attracted millions of online followers, someone familiar to me whose adult sons were living proof that their parents, particularly their father, had done something right and well.

Calif Can't Define 'Hate Speech' But May Mandate Workplace Training Anyway
Topic: Political Correctness
Source: Reason
Author: by J.D. Tucille
The term “hate speech” gets thrown around a lot, but it’s legally protected in the U.S. "Hate speech" is notoriously hard to define and is usually a subjective characterization of harsh words. Though the term is thrown around by people describing comments they don't like, it generally refers to expression that might not be nice but is protected by the First Amendment to the United States Constitution as well as state speech protections. But that's not going to stop California lawmakers from trying to hector people into refraining from voicing nasty sentiments.

The repulsive new breed of the ‘socialist socialite’

NYC’s decadent, entitled leftists are now championing shoplifting and the murder of wealthy people. You guys, have you heard of this super-cool new fashion trend? It’s called communism! It’s like this really cool vibe. You get all your food and rent for free! You’re encouraged to steal from expensive supermarkets! You even get to hang out with the coolest rich kids and travel to places like Cuba (where they have the best hotels), and sail the Med to Palestine (perfect place to rock your keffiyeh). Everyone on TikTok is talking about it! It seems that Gen Z and some Millennial rich kids are really digging communism at the moment. Though I’m now a crabby middle-aged Gen Xer with sore feet and a desire to be in bed by 10pm on a Friday, I once had some pretty commie-friendly ideas. But I’m still rather alarmed that young people across the media landscape have suddenly turned into well-coiffed, moisturised and manicured Stalins.

A Little-Known Lawsuit May Weaken University Ethics Boards
Topic: Political Correctness

Russell T. Warne analyzes a lawsuit that challenges the scope of Institutional Review Boards' authority.. For 45 years, research at American universities has been supervised by Institutional Review Boards (IRBs), which are committees that ensure scientific research is conducted ethically. At most universities, faculty, students, and staff must obtain approval from the IRB before engaging in any aspect of scientific research. To protect research participants, the IRB scrutinizes research protocols, stimuli, and even recruitment materials (such as emails and flyers). Researchers may not begin their research until they receive the IRB’s blessing. This, however, does not end the IRB’s supervision. Any change in procedures—even trivial changes to wording in a recruitment flyer or a clarification of instructions to research participants—must be submitted to the IRB before implementation.
