Virginia Mom Gets 6-Month Suspended Jail Sentence

...for Letting 5-Year-Old Walk to the Pond. It's a short walk, along a sidewalk separated from the street by 10 feet of grass. Sam would have to cross two streets with crosswalks, which she'd seen him do safely hundreds of times—including six times that morning, she says. Off he went while she made lunch. A passerby saw Sam and alerted security. One of the community's security guards escorted the boy back and gave Parkinson an earful. Pretty soon there were three cop cars, just as many cops, a security vehicle, and two Child Protective Services (CPS) workers at Parkinson's door. CPS ended up investigating her for abuse and neglect.

he Trump administration’s crusade to crush campus criticism took another wallop on Friday in a California courtroom. Federal judge Noël Wise ruled that the Trump administration’s “ideological-deportation policy” brazenly violated the US Constitution. The Stanford Daily—one of the best-known college student newspapers in the nation—sued the Trump administration for changing its “immigration policy and pattern of enforcement, namely by arresting, detaining, and deporting students...

A group of parents from different religions filed a lawsuit against Palo Alto Unified School District in California and Palo Alto High School principal Brent Kline over a field trip to a mosque last year. The lawsuit, filed earlier this month in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, says that students took a tour of the Muslim Community Association's mosque in Santa Clara as part of the high school's Social Justice Pathway curriculum last fall, according to the Palo Alto Daily Post. The parents in the lawsuit are Jewish, Hindu, and Zoroastrian.

Trump Admin Urges SCOTUS To Step In On Military Trans Ban
Topic: Political Correctness
Source: Zero Hedge
The Trump administration has asked the Supreme Court to uphold its ban on transgender troops serving in the military, appealing a lower court ruling that has, for now, blocked enforcement against service members already in uniform. The petition targets a June decision by the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals finding the ban probably violates the constitutional rights of transgender troops already serving. The decision claimed that the ban "appears to be driven by the bare desire to harm a politically unpopular group: persons who identify as transgender." That ruling barred the Pentagon from enforcing the policy against those specific plaintiffs while their case works through the courts. The administration maintains the policy regulates a medical condition - gender dysphoria - rather than transgender status, and therefore needs only a rational connection to military readiness to survive review.

'Barbaric': Children Under Five Being Subjected To Forced Marriage In Britain
Topic: Children and Family
Source: Zero Hedge
Schools fear kids returning "engaged or even married" after holidays while officials flinch at word "racist"... Britain now has children aged five and under on the books of the Forced Marriage Unit. Home Office figures obtained through Freedom of Information requests show at least 27 children five or younger were referred between 2021 and 2025. They sit inside a wider total of more than 100 children aged 12 or under. A referral is not a completed marriage. It is information about an actual, potential or suspected forced marriage. Campaigners say the real number is far higher because so many cases never reach statutory services.

Bray's outspoken LinkedIn posts garnered the attention of conservatives who agreed with him, as well as of campus progressives who saw his sentiments as problematic. One former administrator told Campus Reform that he believes that 'the university administration is persecuting Dr. Bray and altering its standard procedures.' This professor’s story reveals how unregulated speech policies on campus can be weaponized against individuals who do not toe the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) line.

The new book ‘Unconventional Education and America’s Founding’ traces the pluralistic, self-led educations that prepared colonial learners to remake the world. Unconventional Education and America’s Founding, edited by Nasiyah Isra-Ul at the Foundation for Economic Education, arrives at an opportune moment because it approaches that question historically, instead of politically. Putting aside whether homeschoolers should get tax credits or if public charters improve math scores, the book asks what an educated public meant to at least a few architects of the American experiment.

J.D. Vance and the Politics of Victimhood
Topic: Political Correctness
Source: Reason
The postliberal right’s frenzy for exaggerating and fabricating transgressions. "Why are we allowing the companies that are destroying this country to receive tax preferences?" he asked. "Why don't we seize the assets of the Ford Foundation, tax their assets, and give it to the people who've had their lives destroyed by their radical open-borders agenda?" Carlson had until then maintained an expression of earnest concern, but at the suggestion of punitive wealth redistribution, he was no longer able to restrain himself. He broke into an elated grin. The conservative columnist Ross Douthat later likened Vance's strategy to "burning his ships"—an attempt to earn the trust of conservatives by so offending establishment mores that he could never go back to being an elite in good standing with his former friends. It was a bet that paid off bigly.

Eye of the Beholder: Aesthetic Injury and the White House Ballroom
Topic: Political Correctness
Source: Jonathan Turley
The Administration won a major victory before the Supreme Court this week, securing a 5-4 decision allowing the resumption of construction of the new White House ballroom. Notably, Chief Justice John Roberts wrote a dissent with his three liberal colleagues to oppose the move. The case turns on the standing of challengers to bring the case. However, as a torts professor, what intrigued me was what the case says about aesthetic injuries. In torts, I teach aesthetic nuisance cases where courts tend to reject claims of injury due to eyesores and blight. Such claims are disfavored in both codes and cases: “Things merely disagreeable, however, which simply displease the eye or offend the taste, or shock an oversensitive or fastidious nature, no matter how irritating or unpleasant, are not nuisances.” 81 N.Y. Jur. 2d Nuisances § 17 (2014).

Former Feminist Speaks the Unspeakable Truth About Feminism

In The Goddess That Failed, Janice Fiamengo eloquently expounds on the many ways that feminism has betrayed women, men, families, and civilization itself. It is a sobering picture. Fiamengo was once a card-carrying feminist. “I know feminism well, having being an adherent before I become a critic...I understand the psychology and the history of the movement because I lived inside it for many years.” Below are excerpts from the chapters of Fiamengo’s recently published, 215-page book...

Testosterone: Sex, Gender, and Death

The primary male sex hormone, testosterone, has been in the news of late. Students of social science may be familiar with the series of twentieth-century prison studies which had as their conclusion that high testosterone levels among incarcerated felons were associated with a propensity toward personal and violent crimes such as rape and murder. Correlation is not causation, but statistics are statistics all the same.

There are millions of us. The algorithms just don’t know what to do with us because we don't fit neatly into a box.I’ve been wanting to write this for a while because, more often than not, I find myself doomscrolling, screaming “NOT ALL WOMEN!” It seems like most of the women represented in media are, for lack of a better word, insane. I blame the algorithms for elevating the craziest of us. So this is for you—the woman reading this who has been quietly holding it together while the world loses its collective mind. I see you. And here’s what I know about you, even though we’ve probably never met: You don’t fit neatly into a box. You’re not a tradwife and you’re not a girlboss. You’re not a Karen and you’re not a pick-me. You’re not Madonna and you’re not a whore, in fact, you might even be a reformed slut living your dream life in the suburbs (heyo).

The Madness of Male Breastfeeding
Topic: Political Correctness
Source: Andrew Doyle
The welfare of babies is being subordinated to the demands of gender ideology. The concept of ‘male breastfeeding’ is not only sinister on a conceptual level; it also raises serious and unresolved safety questions. In order for lactation to be induced in males, treatment has commonly involved oestrogen and progesterone to develop the breast tissue, together with breast pumping and sometimes domperidone (a drug that raises prolactin and can stimulate milk production). The official product information for domperidone – sold under the brand name Motilium – warns that the drug passes into breast milk and that possible cardiac effects in the baby cannot be ruled out. Even if the risk is slight, why would anyone prioritise the feelings of a trans-identified male over the safety of a child?

Men’s Health Is Being Silenced Again
Topic: Men's Movement
Source: Lisa Britton
A federal office of men’s health is not a luxury; it’s a necessity. nvesting in men’s health doesn’t take anything away from women. The bill text literally says so in plain language. Funds for the proposed office “shall be derived from amounts authorized to be appropriated by other provisions of law, excluding any amounts authorized to be appropriated to the Office on Women’s Health… or any other office of women’s health.” Why keep telling the public otherwise? For background: the State of Men’s Health Act was introduced in the House on February 20, 2026, as H.R. 7602 by Democratic Rep. Troy Carter of Louisiana and Republican Rep. Greg Murphy of North Carolina. It would require the Government Accountability Office to study men’s health in the United States and direct HHS to establish an Office of Men’s Health.

The Ali G haters are the dumbest people alive

The fury over Sacha Baron Cohen’s new film is a nauseating riot of stupidity, hypocrisy and Jew hatred. If you ever feel dumb, just remember there are people out there who think Ali G is a pisstake out of the black community. If you ever fret that your grey matter has seen better days, perk yourself up with the reminder that there are folk so stupendously thick, so utterly unburdened by wit, that they think Sacha Baron Cohen’s mockery of white men is an attack on black men. I promise, nothing will make you feel smarter than watching half-wits and arseholes yelp ‘Racism!’ over a caricature of wiggas. The Ali G controversy really does have it all, doesn’t it? It’s like a singularity of woke, a blinding collision of the dead-eyed literalism and funereal humourlessness of every virtue-draped muppet who calls himself ‘progressive’.
