The U.S. Justice Department has flatly refused to help French authorities investigate Elon Musk’s social media platform X. In a letter sent Friday obtained by The Wall Street Journal , the DOJ’s Office of International Affairs said the French probe is an attempt to regulate a U.S. company through criminal law. “This investigation seeks to use the criminal legal system in France to regulate a public square for the free expression of ideas and opinions in a manner contrary to the First Amendment of the United States Constitution,” the letter states. The department added that France’s requests “constitute an effort…
“Washington Crossing the Delaware,” 1851, by Emanuel Leutze. The TGAAC hopes to restore the nation’s artistic traditions, as embodied in one of American’s most famous history paintings. This painting celebrates a significant moment in America’s path to independence. Public DomainThere was a time when art didn’t require explanation. Visitors could walk into a gallery, stand before a painting, and respond to what they saw, immediately and instinctively. Beauty, skill, proportion, and meaning weren’t abstractions to be parsed by academic skeptics. They were realities apprehended by the eye and understood by the heart.Today, that experience has become increasingly rare. The contemporary…

Last November and in August, Democrat strategist James Carville said Democrats must stack the Supreme Court. He has now added that they mustn’t run on it, “just do it.” That, along with Democrats making Puerto Rico and D.C. states, will make it impossible for Republicans to ever win a presidential election again. Professor Jonathan Turley, a calm academic, wrote about the obvious this past week. He also noted that Carville wants them to hide the agenda and not run on it. Carville says, “Just do it.” Various Democrats have been openly discussing their plans after retaking power to change the…

USA Today was mocked as “McPaper” when it debuted in the 1980s, that it was News Lite, an easy read for easily distracted people. Sometimes, it lives up to that, like in a gushy “you go-girl” profile of CNN host Abby Phillip. The headline was “Abby Phillip remains calm amid political chaos on CNN’s NewsNight.” But the introduction from young reporter Jay Stahl was a sugar overload, as she was allowed to compare her primetime pundits with her four-year-old’s behavior: Abby Phillip prefers to lead a life of softness. She bakes homemade sourdough bread and dreams of attending culinary school.…

“The FDA’s War on Truth: How Government Censorship is Killing Your Health Freedom” points out that the FDA – originally created to safeguard consumers from fraudulent medicines – has become a corrupt system prioritizing corporate profits over public health, suppressing truthful claims about natural remedies while fast-tracking dangerous pharmaceuticals.
