At a march held by dozens of supporters of the January 6 attack on the US Capitol, which included pardoned rioters, a brawl erupted after a counter-protester used a bullhorn to interrupt speeches. One attendee tried to wrestle the bullhorn out of the protester’s hands while she called those present “traitors”. Eventually, she was handcuffed by the police.

Many of those at today’s march, including Enrique Tarrio – the former Proud Boys leader who was convicted and later pardoned for his role in the January 6 insurrection – said that they were there to protest against the death of Ashli Babbitt, a rioter who was killed by Capitol police on the day of the attack.

As regularly as Obama appointee Judge Indira Talwani finds some creative new way to temporary scuttle a provision of the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” that bars organizations that provide elective abortion from federal Medicaid funding for one year if they received more than $800,000 in federal funding in 2023, the US Court of Appeals for the First Circuit says no siree Bob.

Yesterday, in a brief opinion vacating Judge Talwani’s injunction, the appeals court panel, composed of judges appointed by President Biden, concluded that HHS and other federal officials have “made a strong showing at this preliminary stage that they are likely to prevail on the merits.”

Fire Department Plans to Open Maine’s First Safe Haven Baby Box– www.breitbart.com

The Rumford Fire Department is preparing to open Maine’s first Safe Haven Baby Box in February to prevent incidents of deadly infant abandonment. 

“I hope we never use it,” Rumford Fire Chief Chris Reed said, according to News Center Maine. “But at least it’s an option.”

Safe Haven Baby Boxes were created to deter parents from abandoning their newborns in unsafe conditions, potentially leaving them to die. Baby boxes are temperature-controlled incubators often built into exterior walls of fire stations, police stations, and hospitals, and can be accessed from outdoors. At-risk mothers can safely and legally place their newborns inside. Once the baby is inside the baby box, the outside door locks, and the mother has time to leave before an alarm goes off to alert first responders or hospital staff to the child’s presence.

The baby is then quickly removed and sent to a hospital for a wellness check. From there, the baby is usually placed into state custody and is often quickly adopted.

The largest gain in jobs was in the healthcare sector, with 46,000 jobs added.

The US economy added 64,000 jobs in November, beating economists’ expectations. The unemployment rate has remained little changed from September, at 4.6 percent for the year’s penultimate month, the Bureau of Labor Statistics revealed on Tuesday. The release of November’s jobs report was delayed due to the government shutdown that went from October 1 through November 12, and the October jobs report was not released due to the shutdown.

The largest gain in jobs was in the healthcare sector, with 46,000 jobs added. Of that total, 24,000 were in ambulatory health care services, 11,000 were in hospitals, and 11,000 were in nursing and residential care facilities. Construction saw 28,000 jobs added, and 18,000 jobs were added in social assistance. Transportation and warehousing saw a decrease in 18,000 jobs. The BLS noted that the federal government went down by 6,000 jobs, with a total of federal government employment going down by 271,000 since January.

DUKE: DOJ Nukes The Left’s Favorite Way To Enforce Racial Quotas– dailycaller.com

A few days ago, Attorney General Pam Bondi dropped a bombshell press release about U.S. anti-discrimination law. 

“Disparate impact” is effectively dead. 

“The prior ‘disparate impact’ regulations encouraged people to file lawsuits challenging racially neutral policies, without evidence of intentional discrimination,” Assistant Attorney General Harmeet K. Dhillon of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division said in the release. “Our rejection of this theory will restore true equality under the law by requiring proof of actual discrimination, rather than enforcing race- or sex-based quotas or assumptions.”

The Justice Department will essentially deprioritize discrimination cases that rely on “disparate impact” under this new standard.  

Most of the media ignored the announcement. But Politico regurgitated left-wing talking points, asserting in a supposedly straight news story that the move “end[s] long-standing civil rights policies that prohibit local governments and organizations that receive federal funding from maintaining policies that disproportionately harm people of color.” They added it “will make it harder to challenge potential bias in housing, criminal law, employment, environmental regulations and other policy areas.”

WI Supreme Court Ends Dem AG’s Bid To ‘Defy’ SCOTUS Ruling– thefederalist.com

The Wisconsin Supreme Court blocked a bid by the state’s Democrat attorney general to effectively sidestep a U.S. Supreme Court ruling involving a Wisconsin-based Catholic charity.

In its Monday order, the Badger State’s highest court affirmed that the Catholic Charities Bureau (CCB) and its sub-entities are eligible for a sought-after tax exemption status that would allow them to not contribute to Wisconsin’s unemployment system. The decision came months after SCOTUS handed down its ruling on the matter, which favored the Christian organization.

“You’d think Wisconsin would take a 9-0 Supreme Court loss as a hint to stop digging,” Becket Fund for Religious Liberty Vice President and Senior Counsel Eric Rassbach said in a statement. “But apparently Attorney General Kaul and his staff are gluttons for punishment. Thankfully, the Wisconsin Supreme Court put an end to the state’s tomfoolery and confirmed that Catholic Charities is entitled to the exemption it already won.”

CCB first pursued the exemption in 2016 but was repeatedly denied in the years that followed by the state and ultimately, the Wisconsin court system. In rejecting the group’s exemption request, the Wisconsin Supreme Court agreed with the state’s claim that the CCB doesn’t qualify because it didn’t establish that it operates for a primarily religious purpose.

Bavaria’s Interior Minister Herrmann (CSU) spoke in Nuremberg on Sunday about the arrest of the men in Lower Bavaria who were allegedly planning to attack a Christmas market using a vehicle.

Multiple reports indicate that police believe the suspects – three Moroccans, an Egyptian and a Syrian – had an “Islamist motive.”

Terrorist attacks using vehicles to ram people have been on the rise in the past two decades. The method was used prominently by Palestinian terrorists in Israel in the early 2000s before a radical Muslim deployed the tactic at the University of North Carolina in 2006.

Several weeks ago, Bolivia elected Rodrigo Paz as its new president. He promptly planned to scrap a ream of taxes as one of his first moves since becoming the nation’s first conservative leader in nearly two decades.

The government has also repaired relations with Washington after years of anti-American hostility dating back to when ex-President Evo Morales, a charismatic coca-growing union leader, kicked out the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration in 2008 and cozied up to Russia, Iran and Venezuela.

The U.S. State Department has already announced agreements on nuclear cooperation and security assistance, and Paz has said his administration will allow Elon Musk’s Starlink to operate in Bolivia for the first time, after his predecessor refused to give it an operating license last year.

On December 7, 2024, 28-year-old Ghanian artist Joseph Awuah-Darko made headlines when he announced that his mental illness — what he called treatment-resistant bipolar disorder — had made his life unbearable and that he was planning to be euthanized in the Netherlands. He claimed that it had taken him four years to get approved for euthanasia.

But he wasn’t planning to go out quietly. First, he was planning a project called “The Last Supper,” in which he would sit down with hundreds of strangers for a meal and conversation — all, of course, carefully documented on his social media sites. The press went wild, describing the suicide promo tour as a “deeply personal yet profoundly universal journey” in which Awuah-Darko would “create moments of warmth, understanding, and human connection before his time runs out.”

Of course, Awuah-Darko’s time wasn’t “running out.” He had requested, and then scheduled, suicide-by-doctor. His “Last Supper” project — which seems to be a deliberately blasphemous derivative of the Last Supper of the Lord Jesus Christ before His Crucifixion — was designed to send precisely the sort of message that Dying With Dignity pushes on the public. Death by lethal injection isn’t a terrible thing at all. It simply allows you to factor death into your plans — and while you wait, you can be a “bipolar foodie,” to boot.

The U.S. Department of Justice announced this week that its Civil Rights Division had filed a lawsuit against Minneapolis Public Schools (MPS) over alleged racial discrimination against teachers in the school system.

The suit targets provisions in the district’s collective bargaining agreement (CBA) with the teachers’ union, alleging that these provisions provide preferential treatment to certain teachers based on race, color, national origin, or sex. The lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota.

It claims that the CBA classifies teachers differently for decisions involving involuntary reassignment, layoffs, and reinstatement, depending on whether a teacher is considered a member of an “underrepresented population.”

According to the complaint, this results in teachers from such groups receiving protections or preferences not available to others.

Federal prosecutors say a group of far-left extremists plotted to bomb U.S. businesses on New Year’s Eve and then turn their sights on federal immigration agents in a follow-up wave of attacks.

According to a criminal complaint, four members of a cell calling itself the Order of the Black Lotus planned to plant pipe bombs at two American companies in Los Angeles as part of a scheme dubbed “Operation Midnight Sun.” The group is described as a splinter faction of the anti-capitalist Turtle Island Liberation Front.

After the initial bombings, the suspects allegedly planned to target ICE agents and their vehicles beginning in January or February 2026, hoping the explosions “would take some of them out and scare the rest of them,” prosecutors said.

Investigators said the New Year’s Eve plot involved backpacks packed with explosive devices, outlined in a handwritten plan recovered during the investigation.

The four suspects arrested were Audrey Carroll, 30, who used the aliases “Asiginaak” and “black moon”; Zachary Page, 32, who went by “Ash Kerrigan,” “AK” and “cthulu’s daughter”; Dante Garfield, 24, also known as “Cedar” or “Nomad”; and Tina Lai, 41, whose alias was “Kickwhere.”

The investigation focuses on policies described as “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion” (DEI) initiatives, which HUD alleges may violate the Fair Housing Act and Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 by incorporating race-based preferences.The notification to the City of Boston was issued recently, following a prior letter from HUD expressing concerns that the city was using federal grant assistance in ways that include prohibited race-based preferences.

Examples include efforts under the city’s Fair Housing Assessment to target homebuyer outreach specifically at Black and “Latinx” families. This involves the Mayor’s Office of Housing, the Boston Planning Department, and the Boston Housing Authority collecting racial and ethnic data to evaluate programs through a racial equity and social justice perspective.

The U.S. Second Circuit Court of Appeals must reexamine its decision to allow New York officials to levy massive fines on Amish parents for declining vaccines for their children, the Supreme Court ruled.

On Monday, the Supreme Court asked the Second Circuit to reconsider a ruling that upheld New York’s imposition of vaccine requirements on small Amish schools and, by extension, students. The Supreme Court said the court must reconsider the ruling in light of Mahmoud v. Taylor.

This summer, SCOTUS ruled in favor of a religiously diverse group of parents who said that sexualized school curriculum in Montgomery County, Maryland, public schools violated their religious rights. The school district eliminated opt-outs after an overwhelming number of parents requested them.

That ruling could now clear the way for greater religious freedom rights in other areas of life.

“This case is about the Amish defending their faith and way of life,” First Liberty Institute counsel Hiram Sasser told LifeSiteNews via a media statement. The group is representing the Amish parents fighting hundreds of thousands of dollars of fines.

On Monday, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit ruled that New York Attorney General Letitia James cannot stop pro-life pregnancy centers within the state from speaking about abortion pill reversal (APR).ADF Senior Counsel Caroline Lindsay, who argued before the court on behalf of three pro-life pregnancy care organizations, celebrated the ruling, stating, “The court is correct to affirm that women in New York have the right to access information about safe and effective supplemental progesterone through their local pregnancy centers, regardless of what the attorney general may personally believe. The First Amendment clearly protects the right to speak and hear about this potentially life-saving option.”

The case goes back to May 2024, when James announced that she was suing Heartbeat International, a group of pro-life pregnancy care centers that provide referrals for women seeking APR, along with 11 other New York crisis pregnancy centers. James claimed that APR is unproven and unsafe and wanted to block the centers from advertising its availability or discussing it with women.

A federal appeals court has ordered Clearwater, Florida, to halt enforcement of a city ordinance that created a pedestrian buffer zone outside an abortion clinic, ruling that the measure likely violates the First Amendment.Passed in 2023, the rule created a vehicular safety zone that bars anyone from using a stretch of sidewalk within five feet of the driveway at Bread and Roses Women’s Health Center during business hours.

“This buffer zone is clearly discriminatory and meant to stifle pro-life speech. It was instituted by the Clearwater city council for the express purpose of limiting the speech and activities of life advocates taking place outside of the deceptively genteel looking Bread and Roses abortion facility.”

Blurb:

Supposed censorship of library books took off as a faux-major issue during the Biden’s Handlers’ Administration. This was almost entirely in response to local efforts to remove LGBTQWERTY+- books from public and school libraries, or to at least place age-appropriate limits on them.

Among the most commonly banned books of all time has been Mark Twain’s Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. That beloved book has weathered fire from the left and right. Some on the right have wanted to ban it because it depicts a child—Huck Finn—often outsmarting adults. Much of the left thinks the entire book racist, which is odd considering Twain labors mightily to depict slaves as human beings worthy of kindness.

What remains most odd is removing a book from library shelves, or simply applying age restrictions, isn’t censorship by dictionary definition or in practical application. In America, no one is preventing authors from writing whatever they please, nor are publishers prevented from printing a book or book sellers from selling it. There is no prior restraint. This is a happy result of the First Amendment, unlike anything enjoyed by any other nation, including England. Anyone, or any parent, can buy such books at will, and outlets like Amazon make that fast and easy.
