You’ll need X-ray vision to see the new Vincent van Gogh. Art curators at the National Galleries of Scotland found a self-portrait of the famous artist that had been hidden for centuries, according to Storyful. (snip) The self-portrait shows van Gogh, who cut off his left ear in 1888, in a brimmed hat with his ear still intact — a clue this may have been created in his early days. The portrait was found while using an X--ray to perform an inspection on Van Gogh’s “Head of a Peasant Woman” for the Edinburgh gallery’s summer exhibition, entitled “A Taste for Impressionism.”

Two religious leaders plan to join a lawsuit filed by a synagogue in Boynton Beach, Florida against a state law banning abortion at 15 weeks gestation.
The two leaders, one Unitarian and one Buddhist, will argue that the law violates the state Constitution’s right to privacy and freedom of religion (via NBC):
The retired Unitarian Rev. Harris Riordan and the Buddhist minister Maya Malay confirmed they will file a lawsuit in state court next week, echoing arguments from Rabbi Barry Silver. Silver intends to file his own amended complaint next week along with Rabbi Arthur Wascow, the founder and director of the progressive Jewish organization the Shalom Center.

This is a tragic story all the way around. (snip) An OB-GYN in Indianapolis, Dr. Caitlin Bernard, performed the abortion. (snip) Bernard filed the required abortion disclosure, known as a “terminated pregnancy” form, on July 2, two days after she performed the girl’s abortion, according to a copy of the form IndyStar received Thursday from the state health department. (snip) Also, on the disclosure form, an age for the father had to be provided. An approximate age. The doctor recorded his age as 17. That would make him a minor, too. He’s 27. Doesn’t that raise a red flag?
Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón will fight a state Supreme Court appellate ruling that he must charge all eligible cases as mandated under California’s “three strikes” law. (snip) Deputy District Attorney Jonathan Hatami, a Gascón critic who supports the recall movement against him, said his boss issued a “blanket policy” in December 2020 forbidding strike priors to be filed in any case.

Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita said Wednesday that his office is investigating abortion provider Dr. Caitlin Bernard, who told the Indianapolis Star earlier this month that she treated a 10-year-old girl in Indiana because the child was unable to receive an abortion in Ohio.
"We’re gathering the information, we’re gathering the evidence as we speak, and we’re going to fight this to the end, including looking at her licensure, if she failed to report in Indiana. It's a crime to not report." Rokita told Fox News.

Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascon is continuing his one-man assault on the city, and according to our sources, he has now decided that victims and families of victims of violent crimes should no longer be notified when the convict comes up for parole. They should just read it in the newspaper like everyone else. (snip) Former prosecutor and child advocate Kathleen Cady responded to Debbault:
Gascon is violating the California Constitution again. Victims have an absolute right to be notified of parole hearings (Cal Constitution Art I, Section 28((b)(15)).

Ever since he opened his own life-affirming practice more than 25 years ago, Bruchalski has saved the lives of hundreds of them. (snip) The real turning point in his decision to become a pro-life doctor, however, came after one of his colleagues (snip) gently but bluntly pointed out that he was treating unborn babies like tumors.
Retired three-star US Army Lt. Gen. Gary Volesky is a true American hero. The former fighting man earned a Silver Star for valor while serving his country in Iraq. His bravery on the battlefield is unparalleled, his dignity unmatched.
So why is Volesky today sitting at home, his reputation in tatters, his post-service career in limbo? (snip) Compare Volesky’s treatment to that of “G.I. Roe,” an active-duty medic who’s been burning up social media with an angry rant about the ditching of Roe. The woman, who posted a profane TikTok video under the name Sgt. Rahasenfratz, even suggested that she might find it difficult or impossible to fulfill her duties

Comrades, the professional moonbats went to Washington today to advance the Democrat position on baby killing. UC Berkely Law School Professor, Khiara M. Bridges, claimed to be a victim of transphobic non-binary violence today while being questioned about women and abortion.
After hearing Professor Bridges speak about “people for the capacity for pregnancy” in her testimony, Senator Josh Hawley attempted to understand exactly who Ms. Bridges was talking about because the Senate Judiciary hearing was assembled to discuss the legal consequences of the recent Supreme Court Dobbs decision on abortion.

Recently, I sat in my airplane seat before takeoff and watched a parade of the obese squeeze down the aisle. Many seemed barely able to shuffle through the narrow space; how they would maneuver their bodies into the 18”-wide seats that awaited them was another mystery.
Never was it more evident to me how unhealthy our society has become than witnessing that performance. I estimated that at least half the passengers on the airplane appeared sufficiently overweight to be clinically obese. How did this happen?

As we previously reported, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) was mocked by comedian Alex Stein, who made comments about her “booty” as she passed by him going up the Capitol steps. She later had a meltdown over it, saying that she had intended to “deck” him, and blasting the Capitol Police for–in her estimation–not protecting her/doing anything about it.
On Wednesday evening, Ocasio-Cortez tweeted, “I posted about a deeply disgusting incident that happened today on the Capitol steps, but took it down bc it’s clearly someone seeking extremist fame.”

It has been awarded to 26 people since it was initiated in 2012. “You have been a faithful, lifelong friend of the state of Israel and the Jewish people. Your tireless advocacy of the enduring U.S.-Israel partnership in word and in deed has withstood the test of time,” Mr. Herzog told Mr. Biden at a ceremony in Jerusalem.(Snip)Mr. Biden is the first person to receive the award since 2014.
French President Emmanuel Macron warned his country’s people Thursday to prepare for a total cutoff of Russian natural gas by supporting alternatives, having public lights switched off at night and engaging in a period of nationwide energy “sobriety.” The Russian invasion of Ukraine and ensuing sanctions have aggravated other factors driving up prices for energy and others goods. With no end in sight for the Ukraine war, Macron said, the French should brace themselves for costs to remain high.
“This war will continue,” he said in a televised interview marking France’s national holiday, Bastille Day. “The summer, early autumn will be very hard.”
