President Trump filed an unsealed motion to dismiss Jack Smithâs classified documents case for vindictive and selective prosecution. The
motion was originally filed under seal in February. Judge Cannon authorized Trump to file an unsealed version of the motion to dismiss Jack Smithâs case. Trumpâs legal team in February filed several motions to dismiss Jack Smithâs classified documents case. Judge Cannon previously denied Trumpâs motion to dismiss the classified docs case on âunconstitutional vaguenessâ of the Espionage Act, however, a third motion based on selective prosecution is still pending. In his unsealed motion to dismiss, Trump highlighted how others such...

New Hope for Less-Selective Colleges. Vocational learning may save tuition-dependent institutions from themselves.

| April 26, 2024 | Walt Gardner
Itâs hardly front-page news that trust in higher education is at an all-time low. But
what is overlooked is just how dire the situation is for small, private colleges with meagre endowments. Last year, for example, 14 of these institutions closed, the victims of plummeting enrollment. In the New York metropolitan area, some institutions have been forced to sell off portions of their real estate to stay alive. Such collegesâ plight is partially attributable to the falling birthrate since the Great Recession, but the far more important cause is the disconnect between what these colleges offer and what students want....

Supreme Court exposes Bidenâs selective prosecution of political opponents

Washington Examiner ^
| 4/22/24 | staff
During oral arguments on Tuesday, Supreme Court Justices Neil Gorsuch and Samuel Alito exposed the Biden administrationâs inexcusable practice of selective prosecution of protesters and rioters. The
case, Fischer v. United States, involved the contention by Pennsylvanian Joseph Fischer that the charges of âobstruct[ion of] ⌠any official proceeding,â based on 18 U.S.C. § 1512(c), should not apply to his actions during the Jan. 6 Capitol riot. Fischer, who also was charged with assaulting police officers, is hardly a sympathetic figure. His claims that he wasnât trying to obstruct or âimpedeâ official (and important) congressional business, in the ordinary (nonlegal)...

From Georgia to New York, 2024 could turn on the odor of selective prosecution

he removal of lead special prosecutor Nathan Wade from Donald Trumpâs prosecution had the feel of a Southern Gothic. Fulton County, Ga. District Attorney Fani Willis had described Wade as âa Southern gentleman. Me,
not so much.â For weeks, the public has been enthralled by accounts of Wadeâs illicit affair with Willis. Then there was the roughly three-quarters of a million dollars paid to Wade before he was booted from the case this week. Channeling Tennessee Williams in his play âCat on a Hot Tin Roof,â Judge Scott McAfee wrote that, after their testimony, there remained âan odor of mendacity.â...

On August 2023, Phil OâHalloran, one of Michiganâs top election integrity investigators with the MIGOP, shared an incredible Michigan State Police report with me. The
68-page report, which addressed a statewide voter registration fraud investigation in Michigan that began on October 8, 2020 (only one month before the general election), was so stunning that I read it several times to be sure it was legitimate. As I read through the stunning report that was FOIAâd by a local citizen, Chris Caijula, I had so many questions, most of which I suspected would never be answered. Unfortunately, in Michigan, the Democrat...

Selective Prosecution Is Unconstitutional [semi-satire]

Semi-News/Semi-Satire ^
| 25 Feb 2024 | John Semmens
This week, US District Court Judge Cormac Carney ruled that "the prosecution of two men from the Rise Above Movement (RAM) who violently clashed with members of Antifa at three southern California pro-Trump events in 2017 is constitutionally impermissible. Both
sides engaged in behavior that is illegal, yet the Antifa rioters were not held accountable for their actions." US Attorney General Merrick Garland called Carney's ruling "outrageous. He completely ignores prosecutorial discretion. The state has the right to decide which cases merit the full punishment of the law and which do not. In the battle to preserve our democracy there...

Chicago Public Schools' Twisted Goal: End Selective Enrollment Schools While Keeping Nearly Empty, Failing Schools Open

Thereâs little that better highlights the moral bankruptcy of Chicagoâs âequityâ agenda than a look at how CPS is treating two of its schools: Northside College Prep and Douglass High.CPS and union officials want to end selective enrollment at Northside, a diverse, top-performing school where blacks and Hispanics excel at the highest
level. At the same time, those officials want to keep open Douglass High School, a nearly-empty, all-black neighborhood school that spends over $68,000 per studentâŚand yet not a single one of its students could read or do math at grade level last year.Thatâs the official policy of CPS...

During his campaign for mayor, Brandon Johnson put out a statement saying that he would not get rid of Chicagoâs selective-enrollment schools. Those
of us who kept receipts know that precise words released by his campaign were, âa Johnson administration would not end selective enrollment at CPS schools.â At the time, Johnson and his Chicago Teachers Union backers well knew that any attempt to mess with Chicagoâs superb little clutch of 11 selective-enrollment high schools â Northside College Prep, Gwendolyn Brooks College Preparatory Academy, John Hancock College Prep, Jones College Prep, Lane Tech, Lindblom Math and Science Academy, Dr. Martin...

The Selective Schooling America Needs
|

A university-affiliated Florida school district offers exceptional education in science, technology, engineering, and math while sidestepping political controversy. Americans
are questioning the purpose of education, the content of curricula, and the right way for schools to admit students. While social-justice advocates challenge the notion of meritocracy, arguing that such concepts as achievement and empiricism are unjust or racist, defenders of traditional merit counter that these notions, when applied effectively, constitute the fairest system of evaluation and form the basis of the public benefits flowing from educational institutions. These debates can get especially heated with respect to selective high schools, which...

Common blood pressure medications linked to lower risk of total knee replacement (Non-selective beta-blockers = 54% reduction)

Among patients with knee pain, those who take a widely used class of blood pressure-lowering medications called beta-blockers appear to have a lower risk of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) for the treatment of advanced osteoarthritis (OA), suggests a study. "Our
results indicate that the use of β-blockers, especially nonselective blockers, was associated with a lower likelihood of TKA," according to the case-control study by Iskandar Tamimi, MD, Ph.D. and colleagues. Beta-blockers may slow the progression of OA by reducing inflammatory mediators involved in cartilage degenerationâwhich may provide clues to the development of new treatment approaches for OA. Researchers identified 300...

This post originally appeared on Live Action News. In her memoir, abortionist Christine Henneberg wrote about a woman who had an abortion because she believed she was carrying a boy and wanted a girl. Henneberg,
who watched the abortion via ultrasound as she committed it, saw that the child was, in fact, a girlâbut didn't tell the woman. Instead, she allowed the woman to believe sheâd aborted a boy instead of the girl she wanted. An Ambivalent Woman The woman was 14 weeks pregnant. When she was on the abortion table, she said, "I didn't want to be here today,...

PBS: 'Sickening' GOP Calls Trump Indictment 'Selective Prosecution'

New York Times columnist and the supposedly conservative half of PBS NewsHourâs weekly Friday Brooks and Capehart panel was dismayed that even âsupposedly mature and moderateâ Republicans were decrying President Trumpâs latest indictment as âselective prosecution.â Washington
Post columnist and pinch hitter Ruth Marcus went even further, labelling it âsickening.â Host Geoff Bennett led Brooks with an unrelated question about the trial being held in Florida which would mean the jury pool will be far less liberal than in New York City, âit's harder for him to make a convincing argument that he's being railroaded when it's happening in â...

Illegal Aliens and the Selective Service

Bidenâs Border crisis is a national nightmare. I
cannot imagine the long-term impact of his malicious negligence. But one thing occurred to me regarding our need to get a handle on what is going on and who is coming in and what they are. According to the Selective Service System Web site, undocumented aliens, asylum seekers, etc., are required by law to register with Selective Service: âImmigrants âU.S. immigrants are required by law to register with the Selective Service System 30 days after their 18th birthday or 30 days after entry into the United States if they are between the...

Last spring Dina Sosa Cruz sat with her parents and sister in the familyâs living room and reviewed her options: a full academic ride to the University of the District of Columbia, or an apprenticeship in the insurance industry. The
college route meant at the end of four years the 22-year-old would have a degree, a little debt and no work experience. The apprenticeship would leave her with a two-year degree, money in the bank and training in a profession that appealed to her. Her family was unanimous: Take the apprenticeship. âYouâll be worry free,â her mother said. Family conversations...

Selective protection of normal cells from chemotherapy, while killing drug-resistant cancer cells (Trilaciclib)

| March 14, 2023 | Mikhail V. Blagosklonny et al
Cancer therapy is limited by toxicity in normal cells and drug-resistance in cancer cells. In
his latest review, Mikhail V. Blagosklonny, M.D., Ph.D., discusses the theory that cancer resistance to certain therapies can be exploited for protection of normal cellsâsimultaneously enabling the selective killing of resistant cancer cells by using antagonistic drug combinations, which include cytotoxic and protective drugs. "No cancer cell, no matter how resistant it is, can survive chemotherapy in a cell culture. In the organism, however, therapy of cancer is limited by killing or damaging normal cells. Selective protection of normal cells from chemotherapy would increase the...

Another Year: Objection to Women Being Required to Register for Selective Service.

Our Own | October 13, 2023 | John Leland 1789
It will be much simpler to fight NOW against your daughters and young wives being in the position to be drafted, than for your daughters and young wives to go through any conscientious objection process later. Refer
to NDAA FY 2023. This comes up every year, and we must be diligent every year. Interestingly, the requirement for women to register for Selective Service was in the House bill and not in the Senate's. This year, it was not in the House bill, but is in the Senate version. We urge those who value the core values which our Armed Forces...

The CDC published a study surveying young people who suffered from myocarditis after COVID-19 vaccination in The Lancet on Sep. 21, showing the organizationâs âbiased selective analysisâ and dismissing severe reactions to the controversial vaccines, according to cardiologist Dr. Sanjay Verma. The Lancet published the survey of young people ages 12 to
29 who suffered from myocarditisâa severe heart inflammation diseaseâafter taking a COVID vaccine, based on VAERS reports from Jan. 12 to Nov. 5, 2021. The survey assessed patient outcomes at least 90 days after the onset of myocarditis symptoms after mRNA COVID-19 vaccination. The Lancet publication shows that...

if you like selective application of the law, you'll be thrilled to hear that in recent days two foreign visitors headed to Steyn HQ to tape a couple of interviews were both fingerprinted by the crazed fanatics of US Immigration.
