Even more to the point, why didn’t they have Ronan Farrow do the piece? Now that would have been something!

Yes, having a man as the Senatorial change leader on #Metoo would work fine, right?

All politics are local.

So which indigenous peoples actually get any of the $600,000 reparation? Or would it be fairer to just get the money in cash and set it on fire?

The AF is completely ready.

Sexual harassment and fraud, such as that practiced by Dr. Kim, are already illegal. What medical regulations of fertility treatments would change that? I don’t see what Kim’s 13 year old crimes have to do with the current problems of poor clinical protocols.

Stalked by the 19 year old patient himself?

Over on the right side of the web, the narrative (strictly avoided here) is that she was fired for being inadequately obsequious to trans activists. 

I don’t know how many Germans were in the Soviet program. However, I do know that Koralev, the head of the operation, was released from the GULAG and put to work on captured Nazi equipment. I’ve always thought that if I’d been unjustly enslaved and then given a rocket lab, I might aim my first rocket at the Kremlin.

I suggest you look at White Fever, a 2009 report by a Polish journalist who drove from Western Russia to Vladivostok, meeting many guys driving JDMs back from the Pacific. Its a sometimes harrowing look at the disintegrating state of the country. Between tuberculosis epidemics, road pirates and corrupt cops, its…

Well, here on The Root everybody has been lauding Kim Foxx for dropping charges against Jussie Smollett, but now we have this. Why wouldn’t the video be enough to convict? Maybe the Cook County prosecutors office is actually screwed up?

So he’s in solitary confinement but his neighbor can throw shit into his cell? Apparently not solitary enough.

are you arguing for mandatory minimum sentences?

Appeals are expensive, especially to the Supreme Court (assuming they take the case). Who’s paying for this? Also, is she currently in custody? Seems that with a 15 month sentence she’ll nearly be out before the case can go before the SCOTUS.

Here’s a middle case: I menacingly say “Give me your money or I’ll kill you!” Does the First Amendment protect my speech from an extortion charge? I doubt it.

And what about game scheduling? Today (Sunday) the Women’s World Cup at 10 am US Central time was followed by the Copa America men’s final game from South America at 2 pm and the North American Men’s Confederation Gold Cup at 8:30 pm from Chicago. Was FIFA hoping for a world soccer one day rating blitz, or trying to…

After the fall of the infamous Ceausescu regime in Romania, the state of their catastrophic orphanage system was finally exposed. It made the Victorian workhouses look like Disneyland. One element that intrigued me was that the ranks of the secret police, the dread Securitate, were exclusively filled by orphans who…

They will belong to the Inner Party.

A similar event happened recently in Chicago. A community group commissioned an elaborate mural within sight of an elevated station. Three days later the city’s Graffiti Busters program came by and powerwashed it all away. The city has since established a database of authorized murals to keep trigger happy employees…

When someone says they’re not recording you, they are actually recording you, in stereo.
