If you want slippery slopes, we’ve got around 260 pieces of content on them, covering a multitude of subjects, though mostly assisted suicide. The warning should sound familiar. If you give the government the power and control it needs to euthanize the inconvenient, it will. Many nations have tried this, and several US states have, ... Read more

Two quick disclaimers before diving into this post: First, this is a modified version of my comment to the board on Oct.1. I addressed them publicly and in person, so this is not some keyboard warrior controversy. Second, some school board members think pointing out bad behavior is worse than the bad behavior itself, so ... Read more

Just months after opening the Obama presidential lie-barry is experiencing an employee revolt. Working for a half-black Marxist isn’t apparently what the glossy brochures promised. Not a surprise, given that the actual presidency wasn’t either. Issues with workloads and benefits have led to a ‘high turnover rate’ among employees, with many more ‘continuing to leave ...

How to Stop the Feds Going to the federal government to convince the federal government to limit its own power? That’s not just bad strategy and a lost cause.

I’d jokingly suggest a trigger warning, but if you saw the headline and are that sort, you’ve already been triggered. Hey. You be you, snowflake, but it’s true.

I’m not sure which decade it was, maybe the eighties, perhaps the nineties, but there was a buxom red-headed (ish) comedienne with a Southern drawl. She was funny. One of her jokes was about smoking and how some people preferred light cigarettes. The punch line was, why would anyone suck twice as hard for half ... Read more

I typically write a few dozen articles every summer and fall about the Handmaiden media’s hyperbolic coverage of the Atlantic hurricane season. We didn’t have one this year. It’s approaching mid-October, and we’ve got our first of the year. And sure, yes, it absolutely has to have a mostly unpronounceable name. Isaias. How about Cheniquwa ... Read more

In 2023, a public-health group sued to force the Massachusetts Gaming Commission to hand over anonymized player-tracking data that a state gaming statute had already required casinos to collect. The fight was about research access, but the underlying fact is the real story: casinos now keep a detailed, time-stamped ledger of what individual players did ... Read more

AI answer engines are already quoting your client reviews back to prospects, and most firms have no idea which ones. A prospect types a question into ChatGPT or lands on a Google AI Overview, and the model stitches together a response from whatever text it can find under the firm’s name. A Google review from ...

One text thread on a personal phone can cost a bank nine figures, cost a supervisor a job, and pull a rank-and-file employee into a securities investigation that does not care whose SIM card carried the message. Since late 2021, penalties tied to off-channel communications have climbed past a billion dollars across Wall Street, and ... Read more

A fall in a big-box aisle can cost a shopper a broken hip, months of rehab, and a five-figure medical tab before the insurance letters even start.

A plaintiff’s investigator is standing in a tow yard with a laptop, a Nexiq cable, and a preservation letter that went out to the carrier the same afternoon of the crash. Before anyone talks about black ice, cell records, or the driver’s logbook, one number comes off that truck’s engine computer: the top speed the ... Read more

The federal ‘vaccine court’ has eight judges. Eight special masters, appointed to four-year terms, decide every vaccine injury claim filed in the United States, and the pipeline feeding them is about to change in ways most people filing a claim have no idea about.

Is the U.S. citizen sponsor going to be questioned at a family green card interview now, or is it still just the immigrant relative? Short answer: both of you should be ready to answer, and the sponsor’s Form I-864 is the reason. Under updated USCIS guidance that took effect September 18, 2026, an insufficient Affidavit ...

The rider’s own motorcycle is now the most detailed witness at the scene of the crash, and that changes how these cases get fought. For years, a motorcycle wreck was reconstructed from tire marks, gouges in the pavement, a bent fork, and whatever the car driver remembered. The bike itself had almost nothing to say. ... Read more

The jury trial you assume you’d get if a surgeon left something inside you, or a nurse pushed the wrong medication, may already be gone. You signed it away at the front desk, on a clipboard, while a receptionist waited for your insurance card. The paperwork was thick. The pen was cheap. Somewhere in that ... Read more

A generation ago, settling a parent’s affairs meant a trip to the bank, a folder of paper statements, and a call to the insurance agent whose card was taped to the fridge. Everything lived in a drawer. Today it lives behind a login, and the login lives in a password manager, and the password manager ... Read more
