A federal appellate court shot down on Wednesday attempts by a pair of rogue judges to sidestep a recent Supreme Court immigration ruling.

In its newly released orders, a three-judge panel on the 1st Circuit Court of Appeals overturned Massachusetts-based Judges Patti Saris and Brian Murphy’s administrative pauses against the Trump administration. Those directives sought to stop the government from ending Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for foreign nationals from South Sudan and Ethiopia, respectively.

“On the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer based upon my rights under the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution.” 

With the rise of the Mamdani-style communists has come a widespread narrative that the sudden rise of more openly radical politicians means the Democrats of the last few years or decades are somehow moderate. Depending on who’s telling the story, it’s a harrowing tale about Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries trying to stave off the DSA Marxists; or the “far left” floundering because it doesn’t have its own Fox News; or the party needing a storybook journey home to the moderation of Joe Biden and Barack Obama.

Although the word “metanarrative” was popularized by a postmodern French philosopher who did not believe that such a thing existed, Christians have adopted the word, using it in a positive sense to describe the overall shape of God’s providential plan. The metanarrative of creation, fall, redemption (many today add reconciliation and glorification) defines the movement from Genesis to Revelation, even as it contains all other stories. Sacred and secular stories alike are hallowed by their connection to the biblical metanarrative, a connection that infuses them with transcendent meaning and ultimate purpose.

Defying all expectations, Clarkson’s Farm, a series about British journalist and TV show host Jeremy Clarkson running a farm, is still a popular hit. Now five seasons in, its appeal remains strong, with the characters established and working well together.

Kansas is the only state in the nation where Supreme Court justices are selected through a bar-controlled commission before being appointed by the governor.

Through his personal investments, my 18-month-old grandson is already a “thousandaire” and he has not yet mastered the fork.

When President Donald Trump announced the creation of Trump Accounts, my son and daughter-in-law opened one immediately and “Grammie and Grampie” added $500. Using a standard investment return, if our grandson simply leaves his current $1,500 untouched, he will have $87,000 by the time he is 60.

For years Americans have been assured that Democrat prosecutors are the compassionate choice, but a new study suggests that that compassion comes at a deadly cost.

According to research by Vanderbilt University economist Panka Bencsik and Wellesley College Professor Tyler Giles, counties that narrowly elect Republican prosecutors experience a significantly lower death rate among young men. In fact, when a Republican prosecutor narrowly beats a Democrat, the all-cause mortality among men aged 20 to 29 falls by 6.6 percent.

Parents and staff at a Christian prep school in Nashville are upset about what they say is a trend away from biblical teaching and toward leftist ideology after Lipscomb Academy hired a principal who wrote his dissertation on school diversity policies.

American voters have overwhelmingly spoken: They want integrity in their elections — even if integrity infrequently comes in their politicians. 

Last June when the United States targeted Iran’s nuclear facilities in a series of coordinated airstrikes with Israel, President Trump boasted that “Iran’s key nuclear enrichment facilities have been completely and totally obliterated.” He said that on the day of the operation, which hit the enrichment facility at Fordow, buried under a mountain, as well as sites at Natanz and Isfahan.
