Planned Parenthood Fraud Appeal Dismissed by Full Fifth Circuit
Topic: Abortion
Source: Bloomberg Law
Planned Parenthood’s appeal of an interim ruling cannot be considered by the Fifth Circuit, the full court held Wednesday, returning the case to a federal district court that previously said the nonprofit’s attorneys aren’t immune from a False Claims Act lawsuit. The case involves Medicaid fraud claims brought by a whistleblower referred to as “Alex Doe,” who conducted an undercover investigation to determine whether Planned Parenthood and its affiliates provided fetal tissue to researchers and tissue procurement companies. Doe claims that Louisiana and Texas terminated the Medicaid eligibility of three Planned Parenthood affiliates in response to his investigation, but the affiliates continued to bill Medicaid in violation of the federal anti-fraud statute.

Judge tosses Justice Department’s antisemitism lawsuit against Harvard
Topic: Political Correctness

Cited incidents were ‘too isolated,’ judge rules. A federal judge dismissed the Trump administration’s antisemitism lawsuit against Harvard University on Thursday, ruling that the cited incidents were “too isolated and episodic” to prove ongoing civil rights violations. “Without diminishing any concern arising from these occurrences, the court finds them, singly and collectively, to be too isolated and episodic to support a plausible inference that any institutionalized noncompliance with Title VI persists at Harvard to this day,” U.S. District Judge Richard Stearns stated in the ruling. The Trump administration is not satisfied with the ruling, according to The Hill.

Trump DHS Announces HUGE Change to Student Visa Program
Topic: Political Correctness

For decades, foreign students have been able to come to the United States on a student visa and stay in the country for decades, as long as they were still enrolled in a class or two. That ends now. Trump’s Department of Homeland Security has announced a new set of rule changes to the student visa program, first and foremost, the amount of time that a foreign student can spend here. They’re limiting it to four years, the amount of time typically needed to obtain a college degree. The changes were made in July, but this is getting noticed now because the new policy goes into effect next month.

CA failed to protect female inmates from sexual abuse by staff, DOJ report

DOJ reports an environment of sexual abuse by staff inside state women's prisons. “The findings in this report are unacceptable; they’re unconscionable,” First Assistant U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli said. DOJ announced Thursday the results of a years-long investigation into two California women’s prisons, concluding they failed to protect the women incarcerated from sexual abuse by prison staff. “The Department concluded that these systemic deficiencies grievously violate prisoners’ rights under the Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments,” a DOJ statement reads. Investigators said they uncovered

Vice President VD Vance announced that he has referred the matter to the Department of Justice.

The Six Nooses: How Interventionism Is Strangling the Family’s Will to Reproduce
Topic: Children and Family
Source: The Mises Institute
The total fertility rate needed to sustain a population is 2.1. Averaged over 2020–2024, South Korea’s stands at 0.78, Taiwan’s at 0.89, and Hong Kong’s at 0.79. Mainstream demography still treats these as cultural anomalies, when they are in fact the terminal readings of a century-long experiment in administrative intervention. The standard explanation blames housing costs, changing values, or the burden of raising children in a modern economy. Examined through the lens of praxeology—the deductive logic of human action—that explanation gets the causation backward. Childbearing is, at bottom, a long-horizon investment: a rational actor accepts a low time preference, sinking two decades of capital and labor into a payoff that only matures across generations.

...worth over $1.4M to write ‘manifesto’ book. American Federation of Teachers boss Randi Weingarten tapped hundreds of thousands in union resources to help write her controversial book — working with a team that raked in more than $1.4 million from the labor group, a new analysis found. Weingarten used the abundance of union-fueled resources for the liberal agenda-pushing “Why Fascists Fear Teachers: Public Education and the Future of Democracy,” then pocketed a portion of the proceeds, the Freedom Foundation claimed in a new report.

'Safe Space': New Taxpayer-Funded Berlin Pool For 'Blacks Only' On Fridays
Topic: Political Correctness
Source: Remix News
Taxpayers are funding anti-White racism and discrimination in Berlin, which is a pattern seen across Germany time after time... A temporary open-air pool erected outside Berlin’s iconic theater was supposed to represent the ultimate low-barrier urban oasis. Instead, a plan to allow only Black people to attend on Fridays has sparked outrage and accusations of racism. Conceived as a free, non-commercial refuge requiring no identity checks — though reliant on a competitive online reservation system — the €300,000 project was introduced to the public as a shared summer meeting point. However, the organizers have implemented a protocol that excludes anyone non-Black one day a week, a clearly discriminatory practice.

DC Bomb Squad Called Out Over a Sex Toy

That 'blue-and-black electronic device' wasn't a bomb, but it closed down Wisconsin Ave. for 2 hours. An object left outside a D.C. firehouse on Wisconsin Avenue in Tenleytown that prompted a bomb squad response turned out to be a sex toy for men. The item, described as an “electronic sex portable pump device” in a D.C. police report, was cleared around 9 a.m. Wednesday. Police responded to the firehouse just after 7 a.m. for the report of a suspicious electronic device. A member of the firehouse told police someone left the device, which had “wires exposed,” according to the report, near the firehouse.

Will Don Lemon Overturn the Central Law Defending Abortion Clinics?
Topic: Abortion
Source: The Daily Signal
‘One of the Greatest Ironies in the Universe’. That’s right, the left-leaning opponent of President Donald Trump is aiming to overturn part of the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act, the notorious FACE Act that abortion activist groups urged the Justice Department under President Joe Biden to weaponize against pro-life protesters. Lemon is only challenging the law’s protections for churches, not abortion clinics, but if a court sides with him, that ruling could in turn undermine the entire law, one legal expert says. If the motion succeeds, “it would be one of the greatest ironies of the universe that it was Don Lemon that was responsible for invalidating the very law that was put in place to protect abortion clinics in this country,” Jeremy Dys, senior counsel at First Liberty Institute, told the Daily Signal in an interview Monday.

Colleges Train Future Teachers to Push Woke Agenda
Topic: Political Correctness
Source: Real Clear Education
This back-to-school season, children are not safe from teachers steeped in woke ideology. Many teacher training programs are riddled with far left politics parents do not want and children do not need. Texas is one such state, having prohibited public school employees in 2021 from teaching lessons marinating in race and sex discrimination. Under Texas law, a teacher may not instruct students that people living today bear historical blame, or deserves to be treated differently, because of his or her race or sex. Someone needs to tell the University of Texas at Austin

Surrogacy Contracts, Abortion, and Peonage
Topic: Children and Family
Source: The Volokh Conspiracy
Some questions for liberals and conservative to think about. A tragic case in Texas has given me an opportunity to rethink the relationship between surrogacy contracts, abortion, and peonage. In short, a couple from California signed a surrogacy contract with a woman from Alaska. A fertilized embryo was implanted in the Alaska woman. At the 20-week mark, the child was diagnosed with a congenital heart disease that would require multiple surgeries to survive. Pursuant to the surrogacy contract, the couple ordered the woman carrying their child to terminate the pregnancy. The woman refused and she traveled to Texas where the abortion would have been illegal. The Texas Attorney General intervened, and sought a TRO to ensure the child would receive medical care. The child has now been born. The couple from California gave him one name and the woman from Alaska gave him another name. Now there will be a contest for custody. Presumably this dispute will be adjudicated by the Texas courts. All the while, the baby will face weeks of risky surgeries.

The Alice-in-Wonderland World of the WNBA

Author: William B. Anderson
Officials quickly labeled Carrington’s deliberate foul as a Flagrant 2, which meant immediate ejection. After she marched off to the Chicago dressing room, she bizarrely put on social media, “WHITE PRIVILEGE” in all caps while tagging the Indiana Fever. Although Carrington since has tried to walk back her comments, claiming they were not aimed at either her or the Fever, the truth is that they could not have been aimed at anything else unless she had randomly written down both things simultaneously. Not surprisingly, at this writing three days after the incident, the WNBA leadership still has not made any official comment about Carrington’s social media post.

Inside Utah's Trans-Marxist Militia
Topic: Political Correctness
Source: The Cougar Chronicle
From Cuba Revolutionary Trips And Rifle Training To Declaring War On Landlords. Over the last few years, individuals and groups tied to violent and extremist LGBTQ activism have been emerging in the heart of Utah. In May, we exposed how extremist students and clubs at UVU have been responsible for vandalism, violent threats and rhetoric, and even justifying the assassination of Charlie Kirk. Some even left the words “bella ciao” on the sidewalk during left-wing protests. In September 2025, the FBI opened an investigation into Armed Queers of SLC in connection to the assassination of Charlie Kirk. Since then, no updates have been released. Today, we are shining a light on a problem Utah's leaders and media are ignoring: the rising trans militia.

Letter on Jason Arday From Cambridge Vice Chancellor Is Objectively Funny

Arday's autobiography drops today, completing the humiliation of our entire cultural elite. Cambridge University hired and labeled Arday the best scholar in his discipline in the world, the BBC and other media outlets spent enormous effort promoting him as a wunderkind who made Einstein look like a hack, and now Simon and Schuster, a storied publishing house, is actually releasing Arday's book, despite the fact that his book was so obviously a pack of lies long before it got near publication. The police even investigated journalists for questioning Arday's qualifications. Shut up or else!

Sex Between Teens Should Not Be A Child Abuse Issue

It seems obvious that this is a case of teenage stupidity which has nothing to do with child exploitation. Jt turns out that the ‘child’ in this ‘child abuse’ case wasn’t a child at all – that the sex two teens had in this case was consensual – and that the video thereof, which a length of only 43 seconds, was never publicized: Tyler Boebert is facing five felony charges for allegedly filming a 43-second video of himself and an underage female which local authorities have deemed to be child sexual abuse material (CSAM), according to a copy of a criminal affidavit obtained by PEOPLE.

The WNBA has a black entitlement problem
Topic: Violence Against Women
Source: The Washington Examiner
The politburo of the Women’s National Basketball Association continues to be mired in controversy after an excessively hard foul by Chicago Sky player Dijonai Carrington on the Indiana Fever’s Sophie Cunningham during a game over the weekend. Carrington’s contact drew the ire of Cunningham supporters everywhere, as it was vicious (and arguably intentional). As malevolent as Carrington’s foul was, basketball history is rife with such fouls — including some committed by Cunningham herself. Nevertheless, the problem wasn’t Carrington’s foul; the problem was Carrington blaming white privilege for being held accountable for the foul. It’s indicative of the black entitlement problem corroding the WNBA.

Sophie Cunningham earned more than a few enemies when she said that men have no place in women's sports. But she also gained fans and supporters, and they far outnumber the haters. That's because the vast majority of people agree with Cunningham, even if they never say so publicly. Right now, it turns out Cunningham has a famous ally in her corner: actor Hugh Laurie.
