Why Trump Won’t Stop Suing the Media and Losing

Why Trump Won’t Stop Suing the Media and LosingWhy would the most notoriously cash-strapped man in America waste money on frivolous lawsuits?On Monday, Donald Trump—whose lawyers recently announced that he can’t come up with the money to post a $454 million bond in his civil fraud case—fired off yet another suit against a news organization that reported facts he didn’t like. The targets this time are ABC News and its anchor George Stephanopoulos, who Trump alleges defamed him by stating that Trump had been found liable for raping E. Jean Carroll.The case looks like a sure loser. Trump was technically found liable under New York law for sexual abuse, not for rape, but the judge in the civil case ruled that, by forcibly penetrating Carroll’s vagina with his fingers, “Mr. Trump in fact did ‘rape’ Ms. Carroll as that term commonly is used and understood.” But no matter. The Stephanopoulos…

Body scanners coming to NYC subway stations as city struggles to get a grip on surging crimeCrime in NYC subway stations has gotten so out of control that Democratic Mayor Eric Adams announced Thursday that body scanners are coming to the city’s stations. The scans will be used to detect weapons entering the subway stations, as city officials have been trying to deter a sharp uptick in criminal activity.”We are going to use technology to identify those bad people who are carrying bad weapons,” Adams said Thursday. “And I say to those who are afraid of scanners who rather not walk through it, I rather you be safe – so let’s bring on the scanners.”NYPD OFFICER SHOT, KILLED DURING CAR STOP IN QUEENS BY SUSPECT WITH MULTIPLE PRIOR ARRESTS: POLICEAdams said the city will undergo a 90-day waiting period for the scanners to be tested before they can be implemented in…

Cold therapy techniques come under hot scrutiny by researchers: ‘Overall benefits remain uncer…Cold therapy has been a popular health trend in recent years, but a new review suggests it might not live up to the hype — although others disagree. Medical researchers from the University of Warwick in the U.K. conducted a review of nine different studies of the Wim Hof Method (WHM), a health and wellness discipline that combines cold therapy, breathing and meditation.Although the method was found to reduce inflammation, the researchers concluded that the “quality of the studies [done on the method] is very low” and that “all the results must be interpreted with caution.”LIFE-CHANGING COLD THERAPY HELPS PENNSYLVANIA MOM WITH AWFUL BACK PAIN: ‘COULD PICK UP MY DAUGHTER’ AGAINThey also noted that the studies had small sample sizes, so they can’t be applied to the general population.The results were published in the journal PLOS ONE on March…

Dave Smith vs. Chris Freiman: What’s the Ideal Immigration Policy?

Dave Smith vs. Chris Freiman: What’s the Ideal Immigration Policy?Immigration ranks as the second-most important issue among registered U.S. voters and the top issue for Republican voters, according to a Marist Poll/PBS NewsHour/NPR poll released last month. Perhaps that’s because of the 3.2 million border encounters documented by Border Patrol in 2023—a new record high that’s so far being outpaced this year. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, who continues to erect razor wire fencing at the border despite a Supreme Court ruling prohibiting Texas from stopping federal agents from cutting through the barriers, has likely also heightened the salience of the issue for Republican voters. Even politicians in blue cities like New York are calling the influx a problem, with Mayor Eric Adams saying that the arrival of 110,000 asylum seekers over a year and a half would “destroy New York City” as shelters become overwhelmed.  What do libertarians, traditionally in…

Where RFK Jr. Goes From Here

Where RFK Jr. Goes From HereWasn’t Robert F. Kennedy Jr. supposed to have flamed out by now? At a rally yesterday in Oakland, California, Kennedy—a lifelong Democrat turned independent—unveiled his 2024 running mate, the Silicon Valley entrepreneur Nicole Shanahan. Kennedy selected Shanahan from a motley crew of reported vice-presidential contenders: Aaron Rodgers, Jesse Ventura, Mike Rowe, Tulsi Gabbard, and the rapper Killer Mike, to name a few.Shanahan is by no means a household name. Yet she could bolster Kennedy’s outsider ticket in three pivotal ways. She’s just 38 years old and may help him appeal to younger voters. Several states require candidates to file a two-person ticket as a ballot-eligibility requirement, so her sheer addition could help move those efforts forward. And, of course, she has money: Her charitable donations suggest she is worth tens or even hundreds of millions of dollars. “The purpose of wealth is to help those…
