As the United States continues to come to grips with the Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, I cannot stop thinking about how the court used a legal system built entirely by men to diminish women — once again — into nothing more than a vessel for producing babies. I am a rabbi in a legal system that excluded women for thousands of years, much like the legal system that the Supreme Court relied on in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization. But unlike the American legal system, the Jewish tradition, in certain respects, including abortion, found a way to craft laws grounded in equal dignity for women.

KENLY, N.C. — Kenly Police Chief Josh Gibson and all his full-time officers resigned on Wednesday. (snip) The letters, obtained by WRAL News, hint at a hostile work environment since the hiring of a new town manager. Justine Jones has been in that job for about a month. (snip) Gibson said he would consider returning to the police force if Jones was dismissed. (snip) Jones declined an interview, saying she was "not at liberty to talk because of a personnel matter." Jones, a Black woman, sued her previous employer – Richland County, S.C. – for gender and racial discrimination after she was terminated.
Word is that the Biden Justice Department is finally getting set to press charges against first son Hunter after long dragging its feet on the probe. But it looks likely the feds will shy from the key issues exposed in The Post’s reporting on Hunter’s laptop to spare Democrats in advance of this year’s midterm elections. The probe began way back in 2018; Hunter himself admitted prosecutors were “investigating my tax affairs” back in December 2020. (G-men are said to have expanded the investigation to include potential money-laundering, lobbying and firearms violations.) CORRECTION*
Things are finally looking up for the Lincoln Project—just not the one you’re thinking of.
The anti-Republican super PAC paid $25,000 last month to an Abraham Lincoln impersonator as part of a trademark dispute, according to campaign finance disclosures. Chris Small, who has operated a Lincoln-themed educational company called the Lincoln Project since 2003, filed a petition with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office in December 2020 to block the super PAC’s application for a trademark of the Lincoln Project name. Small, who gives historical renditions of Lincoln’s speeches, said the super PAC’s trademark theft created confusion for potential customers.
A reputed gang member and convicted murderer who got out of prison decades early with help from Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascon is facing new felony charges, according to authorities.
Andrew Cachu was released in November after Deputy District Attorney Alisa Blair, a close Gascon ally, declined to present evidence at a hearing to determine whether he should remain in custody after aging out of the juvenile detention facility when he turned 25, Fox News Digital reported at the time. (snip) "He never should have been out on the streets," Kathy Cady, a California attorney representing Amela's family, told Fox News Digital Thursday.
Two accused drug traffickers busted with 150,000 fentanyl pills during a California traffic stop last month failed to show in court Thursday after being released on cashless bail. (snip) Before Thursday, Tulare County Sheriff Mike Boudreaux said he did not expect the defendants to show up. He placed blame on the state’s soft-on-crime attitude and so-called criminal justice reform for a policy that allowed the two alleged drug traffickers to go free with nothing but a promise to come to court.
"I didn't learn about the order until it was far too late," Boudreaux previously told Fox News.
Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer (D) used her line veto power Wednesday to eliminate state support for adoption agencies, pregnancy facilities, and maternity homes proposed as alternatives to abortion.
Before signing the $76 billion state budget, Whitmer cancelled a $2 million adoption tax credit, $10 million to promote adoption “as an alternative to abortion,” $3 million for a maternal navigator pilot program, and $700,000 for the Real Alternatives pregnancy program, which promotes “childbirth, alternatives to abortion, and grief counseling.”

Full Circle for Feminism?

Herewith my favorite reaction so far to the Dobbs decision, though it presents a problem. This Tweet, discovered second-hand (so I can’t check out the source since the name is blacked out), is either a very droll troll, or . . . feminists have suddenly rediscovered something called “marriage.” Which we have been told for nigh on two generations now was some kind of oppressive prison. Heh.
(Tweet:) Me and some of my girlfriends did a retreat this weekend to help us cope with the monumental setback in fundamental rights.
Numerous women have spoken about their regrets over having children, with some saying the 'hate' motherhood, and others revealing they don't like their kids.
The reluctant parents, from around the world, have shared their stories anonymously in a Facebook group called I Regret Having Children.
Those who have posted in the group opened up about the social pressure to have children, as well as pressure from loved ones, the struggles in caring for kids with developmental disorders, and their own mental health battles.
It’s hard to know whether to laugh or cry when leftists insist that “men get pregnant” or refer to mothers as “birthing people” and otherwise ignore the material reality of biological sex. While we’ve generally understood that this is the latest cause célèbre of the radical left, we don’t really expect conservative media to follow suit.
Yet the recent case of a male inmate at a New Jersey women’s prison who impregnated two inmates has shown that conservative media has also been successfully pressured to kowtow to the transgender cult, the Media Research Center has found.
While most of the country is laser-focused on inflation and the economic hardship crushing Americans, Democrats continue to obsess about the only thing that matters to them: Ensuring abortion until birth is legal. (snip) According to Harris, if you support killing a nine-month-old baby in the womb, God is all good with it. (snip) The Bible also doesn’t have anything good to say about those who profess to know Christ then purposely lead others astray, much less for some pathetic, worthless political goal like keeping unlimited abortion legal. Honestly, if I were Harris, I’d be thinking deeply about the state of my soul after those comments. Christianity isn’t a game.
Progressive mega-donor George Soros contributed $1 million to Texas Democratic gubernatorial nominee Beto O’Rourke’s staggering fundraising haul last month.
O’Rourke, who’s challenging two-term Republican Gov. Greg Abbott in November’s election, last week announced that he hauled in $27.6 million in fundraising from late February through June, topping Abbott by $2.7 million and shattering the existing record for fundraising in Texas.
O’Rourke’s campaign finance report was posted online on Tuesday and indicates that Soros contributed $1 million — issued on June 23 — to the Democratic gubernatorial nominee’s campaign.

President Joe Biden has tested positive for Covid-19, the White House said Thursday.
The 79-year-old president, who is fully vaccinated and has received two Covid booster shots, is experiencing “very mild symptoms,” press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said in a statement.
Donald Trump has plans to purge the so-called 'deep state' beyond what any president has done before if he runs for and wins the presidency in 2024 and as many as 50,000 government workers could find themselves on the chopping block. The former president, if elected again, would move in with a plan being drawn up now to 'drain the swamp' and cut tens of thousands of civil servants from what are typically apolitical roles, according to an Axios report.(Snip)The Trump official who came up with the Schedule F order said it could apply to as many as 50,000 of the some-two million federal workers.
It's going to be a long, hot summer — and I'm not just talking about the weather.
Take a handful of hallucinogens, sedatives and edibles, wash them down with a healthy amount of your favorite liquor during a backyard barbecue with people you love, some you barely know and others you can't stand, and you'll approximate the political climate in the United States today on the eve of the midterm elections.
The summer of 2022 is hot and furious. We are dealing with a world literally on fire due to climate change.

A Pennsylvania Democrat facing one of the toughest races in the midterm elections said she "might have to school" rural Trump voters in order to win their support.
Rep. Susan Wild, D-Pa., is running for reelection in Pennsylvania's redrawn 7th congressional district, which now includes Republican-friendly Carbon County. During a virtual meet & greet on Monday, Wild said the Republican voters of Carbon County may need to be educated on the error of their ways.
"Carbon County has many attributes, but it is a county that – although it was once an Obama county – it since has become a Trump county," she said.
Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) claimed on Thursday her fixation with former President Donald Trump is not political.
In an interview with the New York Times, Cheney alleged her alliance with Democrats on the partisan January 6 commission to attack Trump is not political but rather educational.
“I don’t look at it through a political lens,” she claimed about her work on the committee. “I look at it through the angle of: People need to understand how dangerous he is and how unfit for office he is.”
Cheney, who has received praise from Democrats for joining them in combatting Trump, is running behind in primary polls against Trump-endorsed opponent Harriet Hageman
NYC Mayor Eric Adams mooted housing 3,000 illegal immigrants who've overwhelmed homeless shelters in hotels - and said he wants taxpayer cash from Joe Biden to do so.
During a press conference on Thursday, Adams told a room of reporters that in order to house those who cross the border illegally: 'If we have to get hotel rooms, we get hotel rooms.'
Adams also said 'our team has been in constant contact with the White House' and added that he wants the federal government to release funds in order 'to deal with this unprecedented surge' of migrants.

A dispute between two families in line at Disney World turned ugly on Wednesday when the altercation escalated into an all-out brawl. Somewhere in Fantasyland between Cinderella's Castle and Peter Pan's Flight, the warring families traded punches and profanity, as onlookers screamed in the background, Fox 35 reported. The fracas continued at the Orlando, Florida, theme park for several minutes before park personnel and deputies broke it up. "We came upon it, and it appeared as though it took about two minutes for two security personnel to arrive.(Snip)According to the Daily Mail's reporting, the incident began when a female Disney guest waiting to get into Mickey's PhilharMagic
Elon Musk recently declaring that we need to move on from President Donald Trump is the latest example of chatter I have noticed lately on the news and conservative blogs about why we need to do an about-face to Governor Ron DeSantis as our presidential nominee in 2024.
(Snip) First, I am a big Governor DeSantis fan. He is showing what strong state leadership looks like and how it is possible to constitutionally resist a tyrannical federal government. DeSantis has been a profile in courage, toughness, sensibility, and even love as he stands for the citizens of Florida. He is the living embodiment of a patriotic executive.
The New York Times opinion section actually published a shocking project where eight of their columnists admitted they were wrong about either economics, tech, foreign affairs or politics. At the top of the list was none other than “transitory” inflation gaslighter Paul Krugman.
The Times’s economic columnist published an op-ed with a headline that didn’t beat around the bush – for a change – and acknowledged how bad his unrealistic takes on the inflation crisis were for the past year. “I Was Wrong About Inflation,” says the headline. The disgruntled economist actually conceded that Biden’s irresponsible $1.9 trillion stimulus package was inflationary, despite his earlier objections to the contrary.
Lucky for you, you’re probably not a neighbor of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, but if you were, your evenings would be punctuated by “loud and vulgar,” almost-nightly protests from abortion proponents shouting about the recent SCOTUS overturn of Roe v. Wade.
The Washington Post went to the tony Washington, D.C. suburb of Chevy Chase, Md. to interview Kavanaugh’s neighbors, and although many in the predominantly liberal enclave refused to go on record, most of the ones who did were not pleased with the disruptions.
Members of then-Vice President Mike Pence's security detail were calling their loved ones to "say goodbye" as violence escalated at the Capitol on January 6, 2021, a former White House security official told the January 6 committee in testimony played on Thursday evening.
"The members of the VP detail at this time were starting to fear for their own lives. There was a lot of yelling, a lot of very personal calls over the radio, so it was disturbing. I don't like talking about it," the official, who was unnamed for security purposes, told the committee.
"But there were calls to say goodbye to family members, so on and so forth,"
Did Joe Biden just announce he has cancer?
After hiding out at the White House for 3 days, Joe Biden on Wednesday traveled to Brayton Point in Massachusetts where he will talk about his Marxist climate change agenda.
About 20 chairs were laid out for Joe’s big speech… but he totally got 81 million votes in 2020.Biden struggled to read the teleprompter during his garbled speech and at one point it appeared he announced he has cancer.
