(Second column, 6th story, link) Inside Atlanta's First Government-Funded Supermarket Goal is for store to become profitable without any government subsidy within three years ATLANTA'When the Azalea Fresh Market opened this summer, it became the only supermarket to operate in this city's downtown in two decades. To make that happen, the city contributed $8 million in cash and other grants. Now, this 20,000 square-foot store is the beginning of what officials hope will be more publicly funded, but privately run supermarkets to come. The goal is for the store to become profitable without any government subsidy within three years. The city is already aiding the construction of a second planned store 6 miles away, expected to open next year....

The judicial coup pounded the separation of powers once again on Monday, with liberal Judge Cameron Currie"s haughty dismissal of federal indictments against deep state creep James Comey and leftist New York State Attorney General Letitia James." But constitutional law experts say Currie"s judicial overreach " and possibly the law that allowed it " isn"t likely to survive the scrutiny of higher courts. " "She got it wrong, quite clearly, and will almost certainly be reversed," Will Chamberlain, senior counsel at the Article Three Project, wrote in an X post." The Department of Justice plans to fight Currie"s ruling in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, according to White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt. The DOJ is appealing similar…...

In light of actual progress toward a peace proposal in the Russo-Ukrainian War, warmongers scrambled to hurl their favorite smear at the Trump administration. According to them, anything less than a total crushing victory over Russia is no different than British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain's policy of appeasement toward Nazi Germany in 1938 and paves the way for further Russian aggression. We've heard this accusation thrown around time after time from neocons, Democrat politicians, the propaganda press, and really anybody who is personally offended when America stays out of a foreign conflict for more than two seconds. Continuing in that vapid tradition, New York Times foreign affairs columnist Thomas Friedman wrote a piece titled "Trump's Neville Chamberlain Prize." Given the current state of the war, these seem…...

My family started my favorite Thanksgiving-week tradition when I was in middle school, not long after we moved to a new neighborhood. We invited our cul-de-sac neighbors to our house on the Wednesday evening before Thanksgiving " a big step for a family of majority introverts fairly new to the area. Everyone was tasked with bringing themselves and a pie to share. My mom made chicken pot pie for dinner and, as the gathering grew in size over the years, shepherd's pie as well. The tradition was inspired by a family we knew in a Midwestern small town where we used to live and is oh-so-originally termed "Pie Night....

Should the rooster get credit for the sun rising in the morning? Hardly. Yet in recent weeks, two companies received significant financial benefits for taking actions that market forces were likely going to bring about on their own. But a Wall Street Journal article dissecting the agreement's effect noted that, as impressive as these discounts sound, the reality contains more nuance because the current "sticker prices" are inflated:" The net price, which reflects what pharma companies take home after rebates and discounts to pharmacy-benefit managers and others, is much lower. Leerink Partners analyst"David Risinger"says the effective price is only about 20% to 35% below what Medicare currently pays for Mounjaro, which is prescribed for diabetes. Eliminating…...

But such an agreement was on prominent display earlier this week. You're reading Injustice System from Damon Root and Reason. Get more of Damon's commentary on constitutional law and American history. On Monday, the Supreme Court declined to take up a case known as Beck v. United States. It arose in 2021 after an off-duty Air Force staff sergeant named Cameron Beck was killed while riding his motorcycle in Missouri. Beck was fatally struck by a government-issued van driven by a civilian federal employee. That driver later pleaded guilty to criminal negligence. By refusing to hear Beck's appeal, the Supreme Court left in place the lower court ruling against the widow. Clarence Thomas…...

3+ hour, 18+ min ago (192+ words) The Free Beacon first reported on the initial USAID inspector general probe in August, when investigators documented evidence that Hamas "commandeered U.N. aid trucks," embedded terrorist operatives in "U.N. agencies or at U.N. facilities," and ensured humanitarian goods were "directly delivered to Hamas officials." The effort will also help reverse Biden-era policies that made it substantially easier for Hamas-linked nonprofits in Gaza to access U.S. taxpayer cash, according to those briefed on the matter. "Investigations like this one are essential to make sure that foreign assistance does not fall into the wrong hands," a USAID official told the Free Beacon. "It's clear that under the Biden administration, Hamas-affiliated UNRWA workers were given a free pass, despite clear warnings from the IG." Former acting USAID chief operating officer Max Primorac testified to Congress in February and explained how the Biden administration ditched strict vetting procedures…...
