1+ hour, 13+ min ago (121+ words) The vaccine industrial complex is likely fuming this morning after a federal advisory panel voted to end the long-standing recommendation that all newborns receive a hepatitis B shot at birth. The vote marks a major victory for Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.s "Make America Healthy Again" effort to overhaul the childhood vaccine schedule amid questions over the exponential rise in childhood autism. The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices voted 8 to 3 to advise that mothers who test negative for hepatitis B should decide with their doctor "when or if" their newborns receive the vaccine. Please read the rest of this important article HERE. And please share it with your friends and family. The Best of Michael McKay...

2+ hour, 47+ min ago (147+ words) I give to Reason because when I was first getting interested in the world around me, it helped me figure out where I belonged intellectually, philosophically, politically, and culturally. If it did that for you, I hope you'll consider supporting our efforts to keep reaching'and creating'the next generation of libertarians. And giving those of us already in the fold a place to call home. NEXT: Trump Thinks a $100,000 Visa Fee Would Make Companies Hire More Americans. It Could Do the Opposite.

2+ hour, 56+ min ago (271+ words) The court's rationale for dismissing the case simply ignores the plaintiffs' allegations. David Bernstein | 12.7.2025 7:51 AM I recently read the complaint and district court opinion in Yakoby v. Trustees of University of Pennsylvania. The plaintiffs brought several claims against Penn, including that Penn tolerated a hostile environment for Jewish students in violation of Title VI of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. The case is currently on appeal to the Third Circuit. In June, district court judge Mitchell S. Goldberg dismissed the Title VI complaint with the remarkable assertion that "At worst, Plaintiffs accuse Penn of tolerating and permitting the expression of viewpoints which differ from their own." I say remarkable, because the plaintiffs did in fact make a series allegations that went well beyond (and in most cases had nothing to do with) Penn "tolerating and permission the expression of viewpoints" the plaintiffs disagreed…...

3+ hour, 54+ min ago (509+ words) Last year around Thanksgiving, I did something that would raise eyebrows in today's world: I spent several weeks drinking only raw milk. I wasn't chasing a trend or attempting a diet experiment. It started with a simple question that kept tugging at me. That question led me down a historical path'one far more surprising than anything I experienced physically. The most fascinating part wasn't my raw milk fast; it was learning that the idea wasn't new. In fact, it was once so conventional that it featured prominently in mainstream American medical practice. Eventually, my curiosity led me to spend 18 days drinking only raw milk in November, and then 46 days during Lent. I consumed about a gallon a day. What happened to me is simply my personal experience, not a suggestion for others. More striking than the physical changes was the…...

Sahara Sajjadi/The Copper Courier Three-year-old Lucy approached the lawyer's table wearing a multi-colored and floral dress and bright red pants." The child, barely old enough to talk, was one of 25 immigrant children forced to fight removal efforts by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) at the Pima County immigration courthouse in Tucson on Nov. 24."

4+ hour, 47+ min ago (147+ words) The H-1B program is imperfect. Many supporters of high-skilled immigration suggest fundamentally changing the visa or scrapping it altogether,arguing that it limits foreign workers' mobility and long-term prospects and doesn't prioritize the highest-skilled workers for the U.S. economy. But a $100,000 fee won't fix those issues. This article originally appeared in print under the headline "What Would a $100,000 H-1B Fee Do?."

5+ hour, 45+ min ago (1399+ words) Here's a nice illustration of the personal and professional range of John Updike, the novelist, poet, essayist, critic, and short story writer who rose to singular fame (appearing twice on the cover of Time magazine, then the ultimate mark of celebrity) in the second half of the 20th century. During the year 1960, he volunteered to teach Sunday school at his local church. Meanwhile, he was fighting his publisher's lawyers, who worried that the sex scenes in his latest novel, Rabbit, Run, were explicit enough to violate U.S. obscenity laws, which were still a thing. The post Getting Intimate With Updike appeared first on . If he saw a complication between the two activities, or these two sides of himself, he doesn't mention it in any of the hundreds of thousands of words that make up Selected Letters of John Updike. As it happened,…...

5+ hour, 46+ min ago (169+ words) Jordan is a stable, Western-aligned Arab state in an unstable and vicious region. Jordan buffers Israel's long eastern frontier. It buffers American interests against the chaos that used to be Iraq and Syria and the chaos that Iran wants to spread. Abdullah's heart is in Jordan, but his head is in Langley, Virginia. That is how he keeps it on his shoulders. Normal life, Abdullah told CNN'yes, them again'was impossible in his position. He relaxed by flying a Blackhawk helicopter. Speaking to the Discovery Channel in a typically bold deviation from the Royal Court's media protocols, he said it allowed him to "forget all of the problems." Rania also took flight. She had her own Challenger jet and $40 million in a private Swiss bank. The Most American King: Abdullah of Jordan by Aaron Magid Universal Publishers, 244 pp., $35.95 (paperback) Dominic Green…...
