Judge Rosemary Barkett. 1990—In an otherwise insignificant case (Shriners Hospitals v. Zrillic), Florida chief justice Rosemary Barkett, completely botching case law governing the federal Equal Protection Clause, asserts that “underinclusive or overinclusive classifications fail to meet even the minimal standards of the rational basis test” and, on that misunderstanding, invalidates a six-month statutory time period.
Tanner Cross who is an elementary school physical education teacher in Virginia, was placed on leave after disputing that a “biological boy can be a girl and vice versa,” at a school board meeting. During a Loudoun County school board meeting on Tuesday, teacher Byron “Tanner” Cross spoke out against the policies surrounding gender. “My

GHI | Universal Images Group | Getty Images A century ago this week, the wealthiest U.S. Black community was burned to the ground. At the turn of the 20th century, the Greenwood
In a surprisingly rigorous (but not hostile) interview on Friday’s Amanpour & Co. on PBS (and CNN), New York Times opinion editor Kathleen Kingsbury bizarrely claimed it’s unfair to categorize them as a “progressive organization.” As if you can’t simply read them and figure it out? PBS co-host Walter Isaacson had a much firmer set of questions than Softball
My own family has a long history of barely missing the fight, despite some honest attempts to do their duty. One of my grandfathers joined the Army Air Force almost immediately after Pearl Harbor. If I recall correctly, he was training in B-25 Mitchell medium bombers, probably to eventually fly the flak-filled skies over Germany.
Law enforcement arrested an alleged neo-Nazi who was planning a mass shooting at a Walmart in Texas a local police department announced Sunday. Coleman Thomas Blevins, 28, was arrested Friday for a terroristic threat to create public fear of serious bodily injury, according to the Kerr County Sheriffs Office. Law enforcement, including local police and
Aboard the USS Missouri at the conclusion of the formal surrender of Japan, September 2, 1945. (Army Signal Corps/National Archives) One of the best films of last year was a documentary about the end of the war in the Pacific.

A Florida concert promotor insists he’s not preventing unvaccinated fans from entering an upcoming punk rock show. Those without the COVID-19 jab absolutely can enter VFW Post 39 in St. Petersburg to catch headliners Teenage Bottlerocket on June 26. All they have to do is pay $999.99. As for fans who have been vaccinated, their
The mainstream media did some major backpedaling this week on the potential origin of the coronavirus. After months of brushing off the possibility that COVID-19 escaped from a laboratory, left-wing journalists now admit that they are taking the Wuhan lab leak theory seriously, even after they said the theory was “debunked” months ago. Backtracking journalists
It takes no great imagination to determine what is probably the focus of the mind of Vanity Fair‘s Bess Levin. Even a quick perusal of her articles over the past year reveals her disturbing obsession with Donald Trump 24/7. So obsessed is Levin with Trump that she will even lie in her articles to make
On Memorial Day, America honors the more than 1 million men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to their country. Robert Wilkie, secretary of the Department of Veterans Affairs in the Trump administration, says Americans owe a great debt because without those who laid down their lives, “we wouldn’t have very much
Duke Chapel at Duke University (Bjoertvedt/Wikimedia/GFDL) Leftist groupthink has invaded all of American higher education — English, music, chemistry; you name it, and you’ll find its practitioners working to transform disciplines into training camps for true believers. What about divinity schools? You might think that “wokeness” has saturated them, but in today’s Martin Center article,
Last week Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer lashed out at Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (aka MTG) after her speech in front of an excited Arizona audience in Mesa, Arizona with fellow Representatives Matt Gaetz, Paul Gosar and Andy Biggs. The Washington, DC Swamp outrage machine spewed out their usual bile following MTG’s speech where

Roslan Rahman | AFP | Getty Images SINGAPORE — Singapore’s Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said Monday that the country’s Covid restrictions may be relaxed after June 13 if the situation improves. “Barring another super-spreader or big cluster, we should be on track to bring this outbreak under control,”
A copy of a Bob Dylan album has been returned to an Ohio library 48 years after it was due back. Howard Simon returned the Self Portrait record, which he describes as one of “Dylan‘s least-loved albums”, with a letter explaining the almost five-decade delay in giving it back to the Cleveland Heights library in
A Big Tech trade group has filed a lawsuit over Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’ new free speech law, arguing that the law violates the First Amendment. NetChoice, an internet trade group that “works to make the internet safe for free enterprise and free expression,” claims that the law opens the door for “state-run media.” NetChoice
That Portland, Oregon area teacher on video explaining to fellow teachers that failure to teach critical race theory (CRT) is as much child abuse as pedophiles preying upon children is making the rounds. I finally got a look at this eye popping video and thought, well, that’s ridiculous, obviously, but what the hell is she wearing?
Vice President Kamala Harris (D), was rightfully castigated for her insulting and arrogant – albeit unwitting – assault on Memorial Day when she tweeted, ‟Enjoy the long weekend” without uttering a word about those who died for our freedoms. President Biden’s tweet – ‟Stay cool this weekend” – was no better. But should we be
Soldiers place U.S. flags at gravesites at Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington, Va., May 27, 2021.

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg admitted Sunday that continued face mask requirements on public transportation under the jurisdiction of federal regulators is a “matter of respect” — not science. Just last month, the Transportation Security Administration extended face mask requirements “across all transportation networks throughout the United States, including at airports, onboard commercial aircraft, on over-the-road
Baltimore students who failed this year during the coronavirus pandemic will not be held back. Instead, they will receive a passing grade and graduate to the next level, the city’s school board recently announced. Baltimore students who failed classes during the 2020-2021 school year will still pass on to the next grade will not be
Fact-checkers came running to President Biden’s defense again. In Sunday’s Washington Post, “Fact Checker” Glenn Kessler wrote an article headlined “Biden’s claim that his ‘great grand-pop’ was a coal miner mostly pans out.” But if you read the actual article…it doesn’t pan out. Kessler admits that Biden’s great grandfather Edward Blewitt was a mining engineer and a
It reads like science fiction, but it is very real. The United States paid for the work that likely created COVID-19. Research which could create a bioweapon—genetically engineering the highest possible infectivity for human cells—was subcontracted to the Chinese. A series of cover-ups means we are unlikely to ever know the truth of why our
Pardon the whiplash! It feels like the media suddenly decided the theory saying the deadly coronavirus leaked from a lab in Wuhan is now considered plausible, when, in 2020, they aggressively dismissed it as a “fringe theory.” It’s not a mystery why this happened. The Democrats thought the coronavirus was going to be that silver
Students walk past Princeton University’s Nassau Hall in Princeton, N.J. (Dominick Reuter/Reuters) Classics majors at Princeton University will no longer be required to learn Greek or Latin in a push to create a more inclusive and equitable program, an effort that was given “new urgency” by the “events around race that occurred last summer.” Last
Missouri – The man who sucker-punched a 12-year-old child dancing on a sidewalk last summer was sentenced to 7 years in prison. Last July two boys were street dancing in Cape Girardeau, MO with their instructor Michael ‘Crank’ Curry. That’s when a car pulled over, a black man jumped out and he sucker-punched the 12-year-old
Fashion has a polyester problem. It’s the most widely-used clothing fiber in the world, but as a synthetic material made from plastic, polyester needs a lot of energy to produce and is highly water and air polluting, according to the Council of Fashion Designers of America. The fashion industry is trying to tackle the issue,
Actor Joe Lara – best known for starring in the TV series Tarzan: The Epic Adventures – has been killed in a plane crash in Tennessee. The star, 58, was one of seven people to die when a small jet crashed into a lake near the town of Smyrna. His wife, Gwen Shamblin Lara, who
As NewsBusters had documented in recent weeks, the liberal media were refusing to cover the rash of anti-Semitic attacks as Palestinian extremists were hunting Jews on American streets in liberal cities. Well, during Sunday’s edition of MediaBuzz on Fox News Channel, the media show called out the liberal media for the double standard in their
