There is action being taken across the nation by Republicans on abortion laws ahead of the Supreme Court’s decision. GOP lawmakers in Tennessee have introduced a bill that appears to be similar to Texas’ anti-abortion legislation. “This bill is modeled directly after the legislation passed in Texas last year. Abortions, since that bill has been passed, have dropped 60 percent in Texas,” Rep. Rebecca Alexander said as she spoke to a House subcommittee. Alexander is the legislation’s sponsor. Virginia’s Republican Attorney General Jason Miyares is calling for Roe v. Wade to be overturned by the Supreme Court. In joining 21...

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas took another warning shot at Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act (CDA) today, the law that grants Big Tech wide legal immunity to host and censor content at will. In April last year, Thomas suggested that the Supreme Court, in the absence of action by Congress, might have to narrow the protections of Section 230 in an appropriate case. Section 230 of the CDA is integral to the business model of major tech platforms because it ensures they are not held legally liable for the billions of items of user-generated content hosted by them....

Justice Clarence Thomas issued a statement on Monday about the denial of certiorari in the Jane Doe v. Facebook case. In his statement, Justice Thomas called for the Supreme Court to “address the proper scope of immunity under §230 in an appropriate case” available to Big Tech. Justice Thomas narrated that it’s “hard to see” why section 230 is protecting the Big Tech from liability for companies’ “own ‘acts and omissions.’ “It is hard to see why the protection §230(c)(1) grants publishers against being held strictly liable for third parties’ content should protect Facebook from liability for its own “acts...

Since the libs are going after Clarence Thomas again, seems like as good a time as any to rewatch this video of him laughing.pic.twitter.com/GtPY7CgFIv— Michael Knowles (@michaeljknowles) January 27, 2022​ He who laughs last...It has taken more than 3 decades, but the most vilified Supreme Court justice in American history has the last laugh on his tormentors.During his confirmation hearings, an angry and racist media went out of its way to portray him as an oversexed black man. The detestable Nina Totenberg of NPR conspired with Democrats to push false charges of sexual harassment on him. Anita Hill perjured herself...

Justice Clarence Thomas has done well for himself. He is in no need of defense by anybody. His life and work are inspiring by any measure. But the despicable, racially motivated, coordinated media attacks against him and his family are so unfair that even a slight appreciation of justice would compel a reasonable person to speak. His professionalism and honor play a part, too, so that reasonable observers can appreciate that in shining a light on the praiseworthy work of the good justice and the nefarious motives of his critics, one speaks for him who "cannot speak for himself," given...

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas' wife, Virginia "Ginni" Thomas, had ties to organizers of a January 6, 2021 rally in support of President Donald Trump as well as to efforts to subvert the 2020 election results, according to a New York Times Magazine report published on Tuesday. The Times revealed details about Thomas' role, which had been previously unreported. Thomas, a longtime conservative activist, played a peacemaking role between rally organizers "so that there wouldn't be any division around January 6," Dustin Stockton, who helped organized the Ellipse rally, told The Times. The Ellipse rally took place shortly before a...

The Washington Post just put out a “clarification” about a report within its own pages that referred to Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas as someone “whose rulings often resemble the thinking of White conservatives.” As opposed to — what? This is so illuminating, in so many ways, about the oh, so inherent racist and elitist tendencies of those on the left. The paper didn’t apologize for the blatant stereotype but rather issued a “clarification” that went like this: “A previous version of this story [about SCOTUS nominations] imprecisely referred to Justice Clarence Thomas’s opinions as often reflecting the thinking of...

Following the justified and substantial blowback received by The Washington Post for its casual racism disguised as straight news, WaPo added a mere "clarification" to its story: A previous version of this story imprecisely referred to Justice Clarence Thomas's opinions as often reflecting the thinking of White conservatives, rather than conservatives broadly. That reference has been removed. Uh, no. That doesn't make anything right. Casual racism is not something WaPo needed to clarify — it was plainly clear to everyone that they were engaging in biased partisan race-baiting in what they pretended was "news." The Washington Post is acting like...

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has been hospitalized, according to a statement from the court. Thomas was admitted to Sibley Memorial Hospital in Washington, D.C. on Friday evening after experiencing flu-like symptoms, according to the statement.

Many Americans have grown increasingly numb from a seemingly endless stream of dispiriting stories highlighting our political leaders’ fading commitment to democracy. However, if anything has the potential to awaken us from our stupor of exhaustion, it must be the recent news that Ginni Thomas, wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, attended the Jan. 6 populist rally at the Ellipse in Washington, which preceded that day's Capitol riot. Thomas and her political activities have long raised eyebrows. Thomas is a conservative activist, with close ties to organizations that support many causes and positions that parallel cases that have appeared,...

The far-left cancel culture is in full gear following the protest Wednesday at the U.S. Capital that got out of hand, even targeting Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, who is no stranger to “high-tech lynchings.” Not that Thomas did anything. No, it’s because his wife allegedly expressed support for the tens of thousands of Trump supporters who came to DC to peacefully protest the results of an election that they believe to be illegitimate — never mind that Ginni Thomas tweeted her presumed remarks well before a smaller faction of protesters stormed the U.S. Capitol... ...To get a feel for...

Virginia “Ginni” Thomas, the prominent conservative activist married to Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, recently denounced a DC-area Black Lives Matter banner. Black Lives Matter is a “Trojan Horse” for “mob rule” and “cultural revolution,” Thomas wrote in a June 24 email to Clifton, Virginia, officials, the Washington Post reports.

Thomas objected to a banner that reads “Welcome to Clifton where Black Lives...

A little publicized IRS decision should have conservatives who write about politics very alarmed. The IRS revoked the tax-exempt status of a conservative political organization, the Patrick Henry Center for Individual Liberty (PHCIL), due to a handful of articles that founder Gary Aldrich wrote in his personal capacity. His decade-old articles simply criticized Hillary Clinton and John Kerry, which the IRS claimed constituted electioneering. The articles were linked to as "alerts" from the PHCIL website. The American Spectator noted, “Although the literature demands that those like Clinton and Kerry be kept out of power, it never specifically says, ‘Don’t vote...
