If Lauren Handy was an environmental activist or a leftist supporting Hamas, her sit-in at an abortion business would have earned her a misdemeanor charge and maybe a small fine. But because she is a pro-life advocate protesting abortion, the Biden administration used the FACE Act to prosecute her for supposedly blocking access to abortion.
We spend our middle adult years protecting our children. Indeed, parenting represents the most expensive and difficult responsibility of our lives.
We baby-proof our houses. We warn them about the dangers of living in the 21st century. We educate them to be productive members of society. We seek to protect them from the dangers of drug abuse.
We invest our retirement dollars so that we do not become burdens on them.

The rightful ownership of Fort Reno has been debated for more than 100 years. But judging from the points laid out in 1999 by the United States Department of the Interior Office of the Solicitor, as well as in 2009 when a federal Court of Appeals did not reach an alternative conclusion, it appears as though the federal government has fought to keep the land from the C&A for one reason, oil.
Scott Peterson’s latest attempt to have his conviction for the 2002 double murder of his wife, Laci Peterson, and their unborn son, Conner, overturned have put those heinous crimes back in the headlines. And heinous they were. So heinous in fact, that they shocked Congress into a rare exercise of common sense.
Harvard Law School has drawn strong criticism for hosting a movie screening of “How to Blow Up a Pipeline,” based on the book of the same name by Andreas Malm, which advocates terrorism as a tool of environmental policy.
Notably, the movie’s website includes a “Take Action” page that includes a map of U.S. oil and gas pipelines.
Imagine you are swimming while holding a heavy anchor which is pulling you under water. What would you do? Of course, you would let go of the anchor to keep from drowning. Maintaining your grip on the anchor would lead to certain disaster.
With your survival at stake, you wouldn’t hesitate to drop the anchor.
Yet in life there are issues you are hanging onto which are drowning you. Anger, hate, bitterness, resentment and grudges are all anchors pulling you to the bottom.
Trying to change circumstances outside of your control also drags you to the bottom.
To the Editor:
Help me understand how we have let the public school system wage a war against the taxpayers and parents who either have had kids in school or currently do? Why do we have board and bond elections at times when very few are paying attention?
Not to mention the expense of having an election for just two candidates this April 2, 2024.
I’m sure this same event happened in many other school districts.
Since the beginning of this year, measles cases have been reported in 11 states spanning both coasts and heartland. The situation warrants enough concern that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued a warning to doctors about renewed measles risk.
Unfortunately, vaccine skepticism is threatening to undo one of the great public health achievements of the modern era: the effective victory over this highly contagious and sometimes fatal viral infection, which is particularly dangerous for children and infants.
On March 23, the U.S. Senate passed a $1.2 trillion spending bill, presumably bringing an end to months of congressional combat, stopgap measures, etc., by accepting the House version of that bill without amendments that would require renegotiation.
As is usual with big government spending bills, it’s hard to get one’s mind around the total without dividing it by the number of people expected to pick up the tab.
In 2022, The Daily Beast reports, Adaptive Driving Beam (ADB) headlights for automobiles became legal in the United States -- but still aren’t available because, the Alliance for Automotive Innovation says, conflicting National Highway Traffic Safety Administration regulations make their implementation “practically impossible.”
ADB headlights arguably save lights in two ways:
