Source: US News & World Report

“The former leader of [British-occupied] ⁠Ireland’s ⁠largest [British quisling] party, Jeffrey ⁠Donaldson, was found guilty on Monday of historic child ​sex offences against two women when they were children in one of ‌the highest-profile cases to be ‌heard in the British-run region in recent times. A jury at Newry ⁠Crown ⁠Court found Donaldson guilty of one count of rape, 13 counts ​of indecent assault and four counts of gross indecency against two complainants at dates between 1985 and 2008. He denied all charges. … The jury found that Donaldson’s wife, Eleanor, aided and abetted her husband. She has also denied the charges. The court ruled her unfit to stand trial last month, due to mental health issues, meaning she could not face criminal conviction.” (06/22/26)

Law professors say they support free speech. Many are afraid to practice it.

Source: Expression
by Nate Honeycutt

“A libertarian law professor who responded to FIRE’s recent national survey of law faculty offered a striking admission: ‘Whether justified or unjustified, I regularly hide beliefs from colleagues who are openly discussing important topics in the public interest out of fear of retaliation, particularly as a junior faculty member.’ No administrator had disciplined him. No student had filed a complaint. Yet by his own admission, he and another colleague routinely conceal their views at faculty meetings and other public events, not because anyone ordered them to stay silent but because they worry that candor can carry professional costs. That kind of silence is tricky to measure, but carries serious implications. And new data suggest it is relatively common in American law schools.” (06/22/26)

Good riddance to Keir Starmer’s tyranny of greyness

“So he’s gone. Keir Starmer has resigned. The adults are out of the room. He waltzed into Downing St two years ago to the effusive gushing of the liberal commentariat, and now he’s slinking out. He and his slack-jawed media cheerleaders promised us an era of blissful if boring stability. What they gave us were riots, division, betrayal after betrayal, and an unprecedented assault on the ancient liberties of our nation. The lesson of the Starmer epoch? Never trust a technocrat.” (06/22/26)

Our Property, Not Their Loot

“It’s getting harder to hit innocent Coloradans over the head with civil forfeiture laws. If you live in the Rocky Mountain State and the police want to grab some of your stuff on the basis of a suspicion (or a claimed suspicion) that you have committed a crime, you’re better off today than you would have been a few weeks ago. Colorado has become the second state of the union to entitle you to a lawyer if police are seizing your property.” (06/22/26)

The future of medicine should be built in America

Source: Fox News Forum
by Robert F Kennedy, Jr.

“America should continue to lead the world in clinical research and medical innovation. Instead, we are losing ground. A recent study found that China now conducts more early-stage clinical trials than the United States. In 2025, Chinese companies accounted for nearly half of global pharmaceutical licensing deal activity. Those trends should concern every American. For nearly 80 years, clinical trials have driven medical progress. They transform scientific discoveries into treatments that save lives. They establish whether new therapies are safe and effective. They generate the evidence that physicians, patients and regulators use to make decisions. But clinical trials do more than generate evidence. They attract investment, scientific talent and the infrastructure that supports future innovation. When clinical research moves overseas, those advantages often move with it.” (06/22/26)

Bolivia: Roadblocks ease after state of emergency declared

Source: United Press International

“Bolivia began the week with 11 active roadblocks remaining across the national highway network — a sharp decline from the dozens that had disrupted transportation and commerce for more than 50 days, according to a road accessibility report from the Bolivian Highway Administration. Local media outlets, including El Deber and La Razón, reported that reopening the country’s main transportation routes occurred shortly after President Rodrigo Paz declared a state of emergency Saturday in response to internal unrest. Vehicle traffic and essential goods distribution have gradually returned to normal after a joint deployment of the Bolivian National Police and the Armed Forces, officials said. The operation dismantled much of the network of more than 50 critical roadblocks that had pushed the country toward a logistical and economic crisis.” (06/22/26)
