EFF is pleased Apple is now listening to the concerns of customers, researchers, civil liberties organizations, human rights activists, LGBTQ people, youth representatives, and other groups, about the dangers posed by its phone scanning tools. But the company must go further than just listening, and drop its plans to put a backdoor into its encryption entirely...

A group of Republican senators, led by Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.), is seeking answers from the Biden administration on the exact number of Americans and Afghan allies abandoned in Afghanistan.

The Republicans on Thursday wrote a letter to President Joe Biden that also requests information on the vetting process being used for evacuees who are on their way to the United States.

Joe Biden is a feckless, irresponsible, bumbling fool. It’s hard to blame the guy, however, when it’s clear he has no idea where he is or what he’s supposed to be doing. He is a puppet—a confused puppet with a team of handlers and a wife who is willing to allow his legacy as a career politician to be savaged for the greater good of the party she pledged allegiance to decades ago when she had an affair with Joe while she was married and working on his campaign.

How between July 6 and August 31, the number of active cases of COVID-19 infection in the state of Vermont increased twenty-three-fold – from 114 to 2,668.

(It also helps that Vermont is one the least-populated states in the country.)

The enactment of the Texas Heartbeat Act has exposed the pseudoscience undergirding the worldview of abortion-rights supporters.

“The most pernicious thing about the Texas law is it creates a sort of vigilante system where people get rewards to go out to—anyway,” Biden said, referring to the law’s enforcement mechanism allowing private citizens to sue people who help facilitate an abortion.

The press coverage of the Supreme Court’s decision not to block the implementation of a Texas law against abortion has been overwhelmingly negative and frequently idiotic. See, for example, this article by Felicia Sonmez in the Washington Post, which presents Kavanaugh’s vote with the majority as a sign that he deceived Senator Susan Collins (R., Maine) when he told her he would give some weight to precedent. Sonmez notes that liberal activists are saying that Roe has effectively been repealed, and doesn’t mention anyone who disputes this dubious contention.

We may finally be seeing a turning point in the world of “sustainable” and “responsible” investing. For the past two decades, those labels have been informed by environmental, social, and governance (ESG) theory — a view of corporate conduct driven by left-wing political goals.
