Can Europe help fight on if Trump abandons Ukraine?

Disgraced Cardinal Becciu withdrew from the conclave to choose the next pope, Spain and Portugal focused on the cause of the huge power outage, and the US and Mexico reached a deal on water sharing. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has been accused by Trump of prolonging the "killing field" by pushing back on his demand that Ukraine hand over occupied Crimea to Moscow. The post-World War II order has long held that borders should not be redrawn by force.

The Supreme Court is likely to punt in the mistaken FBI raid case.
The FBI had raided the wrong home. In that time, masked federal agents smashed through the front door of an Atlanta family with a flashbang grenade and guns raised, as their 7-year-old son screamed from another room. The Supreme Court is being asked to decide if the family can seek damages for the bungled raid. On Tuesday, the justices seemed likely to let a lower court weigh in on the matter. They expressed skepticism of the government's contention that the officers were acting with discretion, a detail that could be key to deciding whether they are left on the hook. Justice Neil Gorsuch told the officers who raided the home to look at the address. Gorsuch asked if that was asking too much. The FTCA waives the government's immunity and lets people injured by federal officers bring state-law claims for damages against it....

The Church's reputation on sex is challenged in a new book.
King and elected leaders alike have set prohibitions on divorce, criminalize homosexuality, and ban contraception because of the interpretations of the Bible. In modern America, biblical values are often cited in efforts to outlaw abortion and restrict gender expression. A new book on the relationship between God and sex was written by the scholar Diarmaid MacCulloch, who argues that Christian ideas about sex have been varied. MacCulloch is a professor at the University of Oxford. He tried to distill centuries of debate into long books about Thomas Cromwell and the Protestant Reformation. If this makes him sound old, he is not. In his newest book, Lower Than the Angels: A History of Sex and Christianity, he jokes that if sex is definitely a problem, it is also great fun. Although he doesn't address it explicitly in his new book, MacCulloch is gay and decided against the priesthood because of the Church's attitude toward homosexuality....

The language is changing.
The campaign for global dominance has already been won by Artificial Intelligence. There is an unbelievable volume of synthetic prose published every day. Humans learned from writing. The influence may move in a different direction. Some people think that the use of generative-ai tools will lead to terse language when communicating with friends and colleagues, which may lead to the removal of niceties or writerly flourishes. There are other possibilities. A senior researcher at the Swinburne University of Technology in Australia ran an experiment last year to see how exposure to artificial intelligence might change the way people write.

The REAL ID requirement was passed by Congress.
In the years following the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks, policymakers focused on national security and led to sweeping changes in air travel, however, more than two decades later, one major requirement born out of that era has still not fully taken effect. Americans will be required to show a REAL ID compliant identification card to board domestic flights on May 7. The REAL ID law was passed in 2005, but its implementation has been delayed many times. The Trump administration argued that travelers had plenty of time to gather the necessary documents for the more rigorously verified form of identification. Critics contend that if the deadline could be pushed back by nearly 20 years without any terrorist attacks, the need for the measure is questionable. What is REAL ID? The REAL ID Act was designed to close security gaps that terrorists could exploit. Before 9/11, standards for issuing driver's licenses and other IDs varied widely among states, with little coordination or verification of critical documents like birth certificates and Social Security numbers....

Note: As we venture into the realm of alternative media reporting, it is essential to acknowledge that not all sources are created equal. While some outlets offer crucial counter-narratives and insights, others pose a significant risk of misinformation, perpetuating controlled opposition or serving as wolves in sheep's clothing, intent on misleading their audience with agendas designed to confuse rather than inform.

Milwaukee Judge Monica Isham threatened to lose her job and face arrest if she didn't allow ICE to detain anyone in her courtroom. Isham, a Sawyer County Circuit Court judge, claims she is protecting her community, but her stance is not judicial integrity. When Monica Isham is just a judge sworn to uphold the law, she doesn't rewrite it to suit her woke politics. Her threat to halt court proceedings screams lawlessness, as if her personal beliefs trump the legal system she is paid to serve. If Isham wants to play martyr, she should trade her gavel for a soapbox and spare Wisconsin's courts of her self-righteous little woke show.

The University of Pennsylvania was found to have violated Title IX by denying women equal opportunities by allowing males to compete in women's intercollegiate athletics and to occupy women-only intimate facilities. If the university does not comply with Title IX within 10 days, it will face a criminal referral to the Justice Department. The school was told to issue a statement on its intention to follow Title IX along with two other actions. All individual athletic records, titles, honors, awards, and similar recognition for Division I swimming competition should be restored to all female athletes. Send a letter to each female athlete whose individual recognition is restored expressing an apology on behalf of the University for allowing her educational experience in athletics to be marred by sex discrimination.
