ALTOONA, Pennsylvania — In Virginia Lee Burton’s classic 1939 children’s book “Mike Mulligan and his Steam Shovel,” Mulligan often boasted that his steam shovel, Mary Anne, “could dig as much in a day as a hundred men could dig in a week, but he had never been quite sure that this was true.” By the end of the story, Mulligan never gets the chance to prove his boast because electric, diesel and gasoline shovels have taken away nearly all of Mary Anne’s work. Still, he finds an…
In 2024, an Algerian biological male defeated a Chinese woman for Olympic women’s boxing gold. The spectacle shocked the world and renewed calls to protect single-sex women’s sports. Yet defending such boundaries in the U.S. under today’s civil rights regime is harder than it should be. Decades of Title IX enforcement have turned a seemingly modest anti-discrimination law into a powerful engine of feminist social engineering. Title IX, passed in 1972, was intended to prohibit sex discrimination in federally funded education programs. Early regulations were flexible, as I show in a newly released report. Schools had to “accommodate the interests…
On July 4, the $450 million Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library opened its doors to the public — a public that, according to a letter in a library exhibit, Roosevelt felt was similar to cattle.In the letter written to Charles Davenport at Cold Spring Harbor in his own hand, he explained that “society has no business permitting degenerates to reproduce their kind.”Roosevelt wrote in the letter, “We have to refuse to apply human beings the same elementary knowledge every farmer applies to his own stock. And that’s madness.” “The farmers who let all the increase come from the worst stock would…

Fri Jul 17, 2026 – 8:34 pm EDT (LifeSiteNews) — The pro-life non-profit Faces of Choice created a moving new advertisement that it plans to run to a global audience during the final weekend of the World Cup featuring boxing legend Manny Pacquiao and survivors of abortion from across the globe. The ad has been approved to run, but more funds are needed to secure its placement this weekend during the final two games of the FIFA World Cup. It opens with Pacquiao asking viewers if they can look into the eyes of abortion survivors and tell them “they shouldn’t exist.” The…
Friday on CNN’s “The Source,” former New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu said President Donald Trump “has become the swamp.” Landrieu said, “We haven’t had a president do anything near what Donald Trump has done or to the extent that he does. You know, when he ran, he said he was going to drain the swamp. He has become the swamp. I mean, he’s been concentrating on bombs, ballrooms and ballots, and everything is covered by chaos and the level of perceived corruption, the appearance of corruption. This issue of being involved in companies, you know, financially that he’s, he’s regulating and this…
The Hegseth‑led campaign in the Strait of Hormuz is not a discrete crisis but the culmination of a long‑running U.S.–Iran struggle over who controls the world’s most critical shipping chokepoint—and Operation Epic Fury marks the moment Washington decided to enforce that answer at gunpoint. Story Overview Under President Trump’s orders, Operation Epic Fury has combined massive air strikes with a global naval blockade to degrade Iran’s military and constrain its economy. CENTCOM’s third round of strikes followed an IRGC attack on the Cyprus‑flagged GFS Galaxy, which the U.S. calls a blatant violation of maritime agreements; Iran insists it fired only…
The second Trump Administration is carrying out the President’s executive order to close the U.S. Department of Education.[REF] To manage that process, Education Department officials have entered into interagency agreements (IAAs) with other Cabinet-level agencies to share responsibility for certain federal education programs. Members of Congress are now advancing a series of proposals that would codify 10 of those agreements. If the Education Department were sunset, these bills would allow selected federal programs to continue under other agencies.These agreements and new legislative proposals do not change Title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, which provides taxpayer money to districts…
“He can run, but he can’t hide.” That saying came into the American lexicon in 1946, when legendary boxer Joe Louis was talking strategy before a match with Billy Conn, who was known for his evasive style. Unfortunately for former Rhode Island anesthesiologist Ronald Fischer, he found out that you can elude the Federal Bureau of Investigation for a while, but they almost always track you down. He managed to avoid capture for two decades after he was charged with sex crimes, but on Thursday, the FBI announced that they had their man.🚨#BREAKING: After more…
