Federal judge pens dissent slamming
decades-old press protections
Posted By: OhioNick, 3/19/2021 4:43:41 PM
A federal appeals court judge issued an extraordinary opinion Friday attacking partisan bias in the news media, lamenting the treatment of conservatives in American society and calling for the Supreme Court to overturn a landmark legal precedent that protects news outlets from lawsuits over reports about public figures. D.C. Circuit Senior Judge Laurence Silberman’s diatribe, contained in his dissent in a libel case, amounted to a withering, frontal assault on the 1964 Supreme Court decision that set the framework for modern defamation law — New York Times v. Sullivan.

A sheriff whose county sits on the Mexican border said the new surge of migrants essentially has an open door into the United States — and he believes the “crisis” will only get worse if the Biden administration doesn’t take swift action.
“Now, basically, the border’s open,” Sheriff J.E. Guerra told The Post late Wednesday afternoon shortly after a ride-along with one of the department’s sergeants.
“We’re hopeful with this administration, [Biden’s] got an opportunity starting now but let’s wait and see, they’ve got to make a decision here pretty quick because as long as they think that, ‘Hey, the border’s open,’ here comes the flood..."

While the news of the day was Joe Biden tripping and grinding himself into the stairs of Air Force One, a much bigger story happened just prior.Secretary of State Antony Blinken decided to invite the Chinese delegation to Alaska to hold diplomatic talks. Holding a publicly-broadcast meeting is typically something you do when you know exactly how things are going to go. The last thing you want is to see your country humiliated by a tyrannical regime. Yet Blinken, clearly not prepared for the job he holds, ended up making the United States look absolutely pathetic in the face of the communists.Here’s one of the clips of Blinken getting owned.

The trial, carried out by pulmonologist Sara Ghandehari of the Cedars-Sinai hospital in Los Angeles, recruited 40 male patients hospitalized with COVID-19. “As an ICU doctor, I was struck by the gender disparity among COVID-19 patients who were very sick, remained in the hospital, and needed ventilators,” she emphasized. “One group acted as a control sample, for comparison, and received only the standard medical care given at that time for the disease. The experimental group, meanwhile, also received 100-milligram injections of progesterone twice daily for five days
