In June 2024, presidential candidate Donald J. Trump said: "You graduate from a college, I think you should get, automatically as part of your diploma, a green card to be able to stay in this country. That includes junior colleges, too." Trump's comments, which were an entry in the ongoing and recently intensified debate on the right about immigration, tapped into a truth. Read More ›

To understand why a privately-owned housing building is in default, facing over $40 million in liabilities, and “hemorrhaging money,” in an affluent west-coast city, we must look at a series of Seattle ordinances that, while well-intended, have heaped negative consequences on housing providers with compounding effects.

Why Transhumanism Is Unrealistic and Immoral

In 2016, transhumanism proselytizer Zoltan Istvan ran for president promising to defeat death while touring the country in a bus redesigned to look like a coffin. It was a great gimmick that made him, perhaps, the most famous transhumanist in the world.

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled 6-3 in Grants Pass v. Johnson that city ordinances against public camping do not constitute “cruel and unusual punishment” under the Eighth Amendment. The Court’s decision is a win not only for the small Oregon city of Grants Pass, but also for dozens of Western localities that had been hamstrung by the Ninth Circuit as they grapple with record high rates of homelessness.

Progressive cultural radicals are busily nationalizing their policy agendas by breaking the usual legal comity among the states. For example, California recently declared itself a transgender sanctuary jurisdiction. Its law now actively interferes with out-of-state child custody orders by allowing non-resident gender dysphoric children who make it to California to access puberty-blocking and transition surgeries despite their custodial parent’s refusal of consent.
