As the U.S. southern border is being overrun with record numbers of illegal aliens month after month, the U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday approved the Biden administration’s termination of the successful Remain in Mexico program in a 5-4 decision by Chief Justice John Roberts and joined by Justices Stephen Breyer, Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, and Brett Kavanaugh. The decision will further aggravate a dire border crisis, created by the administration’s open-border policies. The Remain in Mexico program (formally known as the Migration Protection Protocols) was implemented by the Trump administration…

In 2022, federal employees received a pay raise of 2.7% on average. Military service…

On the 50th anniversary of Title IX protections for girls and women, the Biden administration proposed rule changes in enforcing the law that would have dramatic repercussions for publicly funded schools around the country. The Education Department released a 700-page document Thursday announcing the proposed changes to Title IX regulations.
