The shots that rang through the ballroom at the Washington Hilton last week bounced off the same walls as when President Ronald Reagan was shot and nearly killed 45 years ago. But the reaction to the two events shows how much our culture has degraded. In 1981, the Academy Awards were postponed for 24 hours. When emcee Johnny Carson opened the broadcast by wishing Reagan well in his recovery, there was thunderous applause from the Hollywood audience. All those years later, two days before the attempt, liberal talk show host Jimmy Kimmel made a joke about the First Lady having…

A man from India reportedly dug up his sister’s body so he could prove to a bank that she was dead. The man, Jitu Munda, went to an Indian Overseas Bank branch on Monday to try to withdraw money from his dead sister’s account, according to CBS News. It’s not clear when the sister died. There was one problem. The bank said “withdrawals by a third party are not permitted without proper authorization,” meaning in short that Munda needed a death certificate before he could access his sister’s money. Evidently uninterested in obtaining one, Munda instead dug up his sister’s…

The U.S. Supreme Court on Wednesday struck down a race-based redistricting map in Louisiana, ruling that the state’s second black-majority district violates the Constitution. The conservative majority ruled 6-3 that the map “is an unconstitutional gerrymander,” but stopped short of scrapping Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act. “Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 was designed to enforce the Constitution — not collide with it. Unfortunately, lower courts have sometimes applied this Court’s §2 precedents in a way that forces States to engage in the very race-based discrimination that the Constitution forbids,” Justice Alito wrote for the…

Platkin came about when New Jersey’s Democrat-run government began investigating First Choice Women’s Resource Centers over seemingly baseless concerns that it was misleading its donors and misrepresenting its services.

In a 6-3 decision Wednesday, the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that racial gerrymandering is unconstitutional, significantly limiting the ability of states to use race as the predominant factor in redistricting. The Court ruled in Louisiana v. Callais that Louisiana’s congressional map, which created a second majority-black district, is unconstitutional under Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, which prohibits voting practices that discriminate on the basis of race. “Because the Voting Rights Act did not require Louisiana to create an additional majority-minority district, no compelling interest justified the State’s use of race in creating SB8, and that map is an unconstitutional…

When it agreed to review the case, the high court took the unusual step of granting “certiorari before judgment,” which means it reviews the merits of the case before federal appeals courts have reviewed district court rulings, Fox News reported.
