[ad_1] Hunter v. United States was not on my radar screen. But this may be one of the most unexpectedly fascinating cases of the year. The question presented is simple enough. In what cases can a defendant escape a knowing and intelligent waiver of appellate rights. The top-line vote was 8-1, though as I noted yesterday, the majority splits 2-3-3. Justice Kagan and Chief Justice Roberts were squarely in the majority. Justice Gorsuch, joined by Justices Sotomayor and Jackson, tried to expand the majority opinion. Justice Kavanaugh, joined by Justices Alito and Barrett, felt compelled to say the majority opinion…

[ad_1] Image by Frida Lannerström. On the Left’s curious infatuation with a man who thinks their cousin Lisa is going straight to hell “God made tigers carnivorous,” Pi Patel observes from the cramped and terrified corner of a life raft somewhere in the Pacific, “so I must learn to catch fish.” He is a strict ethical vegetarian. He is also, more pressingly, sharing a twenty-six-foot boat with a four-hundred-pound Bengal tiger named Richard Parker. And Pi, being a sensible boy despite his many gods, has grasped something that appears to elude a considerable portion of the left and precisely the…

[ad_1] Americans are generous people. Most taxpayers do not mind helping a struggling family put food on the table. They do not mind helping a senior receive medical care or a child get an education. What they do mind is getting played for fools, and for years, that is exactly what happened. $250 million meant to feed hungry children was stolen through Minnesota’s Feeding Our Future scandal and used to buy lakefront homes, Porsches, and jewelry. In a separate case, $90 million was stolen in Minnesota through healthcare fraud schemes in the largest autism fraud scheme ever prosecuted. In Ohio…

[ad_1] Not so long ago, to coincide with a presentation, Pope Leo XIV published a declaration, his first encyclical, consisting of some 42,000 plus words “Magnifica Humanatas.”  What made this presentation unique was the fact that it’s the first in papal history dedicated to AI (Artificial intelligence). In this declaration, in front of leading religious figures and Christopher Olah, representing left-wing biased OpenAI researchers, Anthropic, Pope Leo XIV addresses serious issues/concerns:  “The fight against new forms of slavery is a decisive test for the ethical discernment of AI and digital transformation.” He went on to say that: “If technology promises…

[ad_1] Major League Baseball (MLB) found itself mired in controversy this past week after three San Francisco Giants players—Landen Roupp, J.T. Brubaker, and Ryan Walker—inscribed Bible verses on their hats that had been designed for the team’s Pride night. Another, Sam Hentges, declined to wear the hat altogether. Whether people were mad at the players for their lack of pride or at the team and league for their alleged abundance of pride depends on vantage point. But people were mad. Put differently, we are living in Groundhog Day, but make it gay. We’ve had this fight before. Around and around…

[ad_1] Oracle’s billionaire owner Larry Ellison meeting with Mike Pompeo. Photo: State Department. Elon Musk’s trillion-dollar payday from the IPO of SpaceX has hugely amplified the public’s focus on extreme wealth inequality. Musk’s economic and political power is certainly something to be concerned about, but wealth can be a misleading focus. I have raised this point before; wealth can be a misleading measure on both ends. As far as bringing down the wealth at the top, I welcome taxes, if they can be made effective, but the most likely way that the wealth of folks like Musk will be brought…
