The article discusses proposed bills in Congress that aim to restrict children's access to social media and pornography on the internet. While acknowledging the real problems these bills seek to address, such as bullying and exposure to inappropriate content, the author expresses concern about the potential negative consequences of government intervention. They argue that implementing age-verification systems and granting the government power to regulate internet access could fundamentally change the decentralized and unsupervised nature of the internet. The author concludes that the risks of destroying the internet outweigh the benefits of restricting minors' access to certain content. [Extracted from the article]

As our train wound its way out of London and back into the countryside, the football fans dwindled in number until the only passenger who was left wearing an NFL jersey was me. In the grand scheme of things, it wouldn't have mattered too much if they had lost; the purpose of the day was to see what the NFL was like in London and to introduce my dad to the game I love, as he had introduced me to soccer when I was a little boy. For a moment, two worlds collided, with the NFL fans talking about their game and the soccer fans talking about theirs - never the twain to meet. He had never watched an NFL game in his life, let alone in person, and the sport that he does watch religiously - soccer - is different in a number of pretty important ways.

The article discusses the unpopularity of both Donald Trump and Joe Biden among the American public. It highlights that Biden's approval rating is currently at 38 percent, lower than Trump's 42 percent. The author argues that the Democratic Party's decision to run Biden again and maintain the status quo is risky and ignores the public's dislike for both candidates. The article suggests that the Democrats need to adjust their strategy and offer appealing policies to win over voters. [Extracted from the article]

It is a matter of considerable irony that the calls for "reforming" the Court have reached their fever pitch at the exact same moment that the Court has begun to sedulously execute its role. Nevertheless, there is a modest way for the courts to do this and an immodest way for the courts to do it, and, thus far, this Court has stayed firmly on the modest side. If one were to take the Court's left-wing critics at face value, one could be forgiven for concluding that, since its new 6-3 majority was secured in 2020, the Court had begun to heed these cavillous voices and to reinvent America according to their terms.

As we have observed in the political fallout from Trump's two indictments, what is good for Trump among the most committed Republican voters is, in fact, toxic for him among the electorate at large. They spent tens of millions of dollars promoting Trump-backed candidates in the 2022 primaries, betting those candidates would lose. Practically speaking, there is no difference between the insistence that, because Donald Trump was indicted, he ipso facto must not be the Republican nominee and the insistence that, because Donald Trump was indicted, he ipso facto must be the nominee. All told, it would make more sense to say that Trump is the only candidate who cannot prevail against Joe Biden than that he is the only candidate who can. [Extracted from the article]

A year has now passed since the Dobbs decision was leaked, and, despite having had more than enough time to contrive a coherent and persuasive argument against its holding, progressives have managed to come up with nothing more noble in the intervening time than to insist that the Court ought to be destroyed or stripped of its authority or packed with sympathetic judges (all of which, in practice, amount to precisely the same thing). Now, progressives have soured on it to such a degree that they have started "questioning the legitimacy of the Court and proposing court-packing schemes." Before Dobbs, American abortion policy was decided by the courts, which, for nearly half a century, had routinely struck down the will of the majority in the name of individual rights; after Dobbs, the states were free to regulate the practice as they saw fit.

Constitutional carry has no effect on the preexisting background-check rules: The federal system exists independently of state law, and states that abolish their carry permits are not obliged to alter their background-check rules in concert. Since 2003, 24 states have joined Vermont, bringing the total number of states in which law-abiding citizens may carry concealed firearms without first having to apply for a permit to 25 - or exactly half of the 50 that have been admitted to the Union thus far. Likewise if the case had come down in 1996, by which point 30 states had adopted "shall issue" but there were still twelve "may issue" states and seven "no issue" states in existence.

And yet, in making their case for this particular action, they have been forced to complain about the "debt crisis" that has resulted from the widespread mismatch between what college graduates have spent to obtain their degrees and what they have gained by having done so. ARTICLES One could spend a merry week listing the problems with President Biden's recent act of student-loan "forgiveness." If, on balance, the procurement of a college degree represents a ticket to the good life, then there is no "debt crisis" to speak of, and no need for a taxpayer-funded bailout.

When described neutrally, the bill that Disney opposes is not only popular among a majority of Floridians (and of Americans), it is popular among a majority of Floridians of all parties. Instead, Disney's former CEO, Bob Iger, seems to have fired off an ill-considered tweet, some of Disney's staff seem to have followed suit, and Bob Chapek seems to have jumped in with both feet. ARTICLES IN some quarters of the American Right, it has become an article of faith that when the wishes of conservatives are pitted against the wishes of the progressive movement and its allies in the press, academia, Hollywood, Silicon Valley, and the S&P 500, the conservatives "always lose.".

Outside of the pandemic, DeSantis has not shown a great desire to interfere with the health-and-safety rules that govern businesses in the state, and what steps he has taken have not been applicable to everyday life but are preparation for the next emergency. What happened, as DeSantis himself implies, is that Disney decided to "wage war on state policies regarding families and children", and, in retaliation, DeSantis decided to take away its special district. ARTICLES 'FIGHTING for freedom is not always easy", Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida argued in his second inaugural address, "because the threats to freedom are more complex and more widespread than they have been in the past.".

Per existing rules, candidates for induction must have been a head coach for at least ten years (which Leach was), have won at least 100 games (which Leach did), and have a .600 win rate - which Leach missed out on by just 0.4 percent. Still reeling from his early death, many of Leach's fans have reacted to this news by insisting that these rules are unjust, by proposing that the National Football Foundation ought to "round up" the percentage to .600, or even by demanding that Leach be treated as a special case and accorded a waiver. By 2000, Leach had made such a name for himself that, after a year at Oklahoma, he was hired as the head coach of Texas Tech, where he stayed for ten seasons - all of them winning.

In 2014, Republicans swept the midterms in one of the greatest GOP victories of the previous hundred years. Since 2014, the Republicans have had one good election cycle - the election of 2016 - and, in that year, their presidential candidate got 46 percent of the vote against the most hated woman in American political history. Had they wished to, Republican primary voters could have learned a valuable lesson from this: Namely, that when the different parts of the party constructively shape each other, Republicans can win big.

SPECIAL ISSUE: THE MIDTERMS RARELY has a party deserved to lose its unified controlof the federal government as much as the Democratsdid in the year 2022. Voters responded tothese promises by handing the House of Representatives overto the Republicans and by declining to give the Democratsthose extra two seats in the Senate.

Or, to put it another way: There is no path to a post-Trump Republican Party that goes around, rather than through, Donald Trump. ARTICLES UNLIKE Tennyson's star-crossed Light Brigade, those among us who hope that the Republican Party does not renominate Donald Trump in 2024 possess a great deal of agency over our fates. As it was with Iraq, this approach is profoundly mistaken, for the most likely alternative to the Republicans who coexisted with Donald Trump is not some slate of immaculately conceived neophytes; it is more Donald Trump.

In the article, the author reports on the highlights of the 27th Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance car show that was held in Amelia Island, Florida in March 2022. The show is aimed at celebrating well-designed automobiles like Ferraris, Alfa Romeos and Porsches. Also cited are the winners at the show, including the 1934 Duesenberg J-531 Convertible Coupe.

In the article, the author discusses why the Republican Party does not need to become involved in government activism. Also cited are the suggestion by Marco Rubio and his allies to turn the party into a working-class party, the need for the Republicans to stop campaigning against the entitlement state, and the performance of Republican presidential candidates in attracting the votes of the working class.

The author expresses his opinion on the history of the right to keep and bear arms in the U.S. according to historian Carol Anderson. He cites the inability of her book based on the 1619 Project to manifest a singular inability to portray the U.S. as a vehicle for the suppression of non-whites. He mentions the claims of the project about the role of slavery in the American Revolution. He notes the assertion of Anderson that the Bill of Rights was influenced by slave rebellions.

In the article, the author presents a secular view against abortion. He claims that the core case of abortion is that the killing of innocent human beings is wrong. Also cited are how becoming a parent has strengthened his stand against abortion, and the need to care for children with special needs like Down syndrome, cerebral palsy and autism.

The article comments on the implication of the decisions made by U.S. President Joseph Biden in August 2021. Topics discussed include the failure of Biden to address the foreign-policy crisis facing the U.S., response of the president to the ruling of the Supreme Court that the administration exceeded its statutory authority in extending eviction moratorium, and the alleged failure of the federal government to focus on what is necessary to fulfill its basic mission.
