The Department of Justice (DOJ) filed a lawsuit on Thursday against SpaceX, a rocketry company founded by Elon Musk, alleging that the firm discriminated against asylum seekers and migrants.
From “at least September 2018 to May 2022, SpaceX routinely discouraged asylees and refugees from applying and refused to hire or consider them, because of their citizenship status, in violation of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA),” a departmental news release reads.
New legislation would handcuff retailers and impose costly new regulatory burdens.
SACRAMENTO — Several years ago, I was shopping in a Santa Ana big-box store when a nondescript young man asked the clerk to show him a video game system — probably a $200-to-$300 item — that was kept in a locked cabinet. She handed it to him and he then nonchalantly put it under his arm and slowly walked away with it, exiting through the alarmed exit door. Employees and customers (myself included) just stood there and watched this theft take place.
Another looting spree at Macy's in California.
Unless these companies take a hardline stance against California's descent into anarchy, I must admit I have very little sympathy. pic.twitter.com/hX2E9ReOXf

“The myth of human-induced global warming has always been a mixture of scientific chicanery and businesses, seeking to leverage a competitive advantage over their rivals.
For scientists – at least those in the public sector – global warming provided the opportunity to be listened to by politicians and the public, to attend international gatherings, and be shown the respect they felt was previously lacking.”
Despite years of Biden family and media disinformation, we are finally learning that President Joe Biden really did fire Ukrainian prosecutor Viktor Shokin for looking into state corruption involving the oil company Burisma and Hunter Biden — and ultimately Joe Biden himself.
As vice president, Biden, in his own words, bragged that he had threatened to cancel the deliverance of American foreign aid to Ukraine unless Shokin was dismissed.
If men claiming to be women were a normal and healthy group, it would make sense that the criminal population would be randomly distributed across different sectors, e.g. embezzlers, hit-and-run drivers, muggers, cigarette smugglers, and mass shooters. Instead, this seems like an oddly selective category.
Guyana’s president asks European slave traders’ descendants to pay reparation
The president of Guyana has called on descendants of European slave traders to offer to pay reparations to right historical wrongs.
Irfaan Ali also demanded that those involved in the transatlantic slave trade and African enslavement be posthumously charged for crimes against humanity.
The South American leader’s comments come in advance of Friday’s official apology by the descendants of Scottish 19th-century sugar and coffee plantation owner John Gladstone, father of four-time prime minister William Gladstone.
A drag queen trapped by paedophile hunters who fooled him into believing he was talking to a teenage boy has been jailed for 34 months.
Andrew Way, an LGBT Pride organiser known by the stage name Miss Gin, believed he was talking to a 14-year-old boy in explicit messages online.
Way pretended he was 27 when he began contacting the “boy”, not realising that a paedophile hunting group was behind the profile.
As threats go, it wasn’t particularly veiled. It was as if Vladimir Putin either couldn’t quite be bothered to disguise his warning, or simply didn’t want to.
The day after Evgeny Prigozhin died in a plane crash, he described his formerly loyal fixer as a “talented businessman” who had “made some serious mistakes”.
Putin was asserting himself as the top dog in Russia and if anybody dared to challenge him, as Prigozhin had done so in a failed mutiny two months ago, they would also die.
The Biden administration has already put nearly 2,000 gun sellers out of business in just two years. Just a few years ago, a lawsuit helped drive the 200-year-old Remington Arms into bankruptcy. But activists won’t stop suing gun shops and anyone else that comes close to the industry.
Last week, attorneys from Everytown Law, the legal arm of Michael Bloomberg’s gun-control group Everytown for Gun Safety, filed a lawsuit against a shop that sold the gun used in the fatal shooting of 10 people at a grocery store in Buffalo, New York, in May 2022. The murderer is a racist who specifically targeted racial minorities. Everytown claims the attack “could have been prevented,” but in fact, the gun seller performed all of the proper background checks.
Katie Ross and Sarah Fraser, a brace of medical academics from Canada’s Dalhousie University, recently opined that taxpayers should pay for “minimally invasive” gender-affirming surgeries such as “voice feminization” and hair removal. The demented duo penned an editorial that found its way into the Canadian Medical Association Journal.
Tensions are boiling over in Canada’s Eritrean community after festivals turned violent this month.

Several gatherings in Edmonton related to an annual festival also ended in violence, with multiple people suffering injuries.

As surely as temperatures rise during the summer, climate alarmism serves up more stories of life-threatening heat domes, apocalyptic fires and biblical floods, all blamed squarely on global warming. Yet the data to prove this link is often cherry-picked, and the proposed policy responses are enormously ineffective.
If you enjoy howlingly awkward human theatre – and who among us is above such delights? – watching a late-stage government try to gnaw its way out of the bear trap of its own incumbency is spectacular entertainment.
This was on glorious display this week in Charlottetown, where the newly shuffled federal cabinet gathered for a retreat before the House of Commons resumes in mid-September.
