First appeared in Western Journal By Aron Solomon This afternoon, after only a three-hour deliberation, a Manhattan jury delivered a verdict against former President Donald J. Trump in a civil lawsuit filed by E. Jean Carroll. Trump was found liable on several charges, including sexual assault and defamation. He was found not liable for rape. The total of the awards in the case is just under $5 million. While Trump is having a rough legal week, month and year, there is no evidence that any of the charges he may face will either disqualify him from running for the presidency or be an…

First appeared in BOXSCORE By Aron Solomon This is really a story about Angel Reese, though it won’t seem like it for a while because it’s first a story about a badly broken business model that’s being fixed – specifically, that of the WNBA. The WNBA has been discussing expansion plans for some time, but they have not yet announced any new teams. The league had hoped to add one or two new expansion teams by the end of 2022, but they will not even come close to meeting that deadline. The WNBA is in the process of evaluating potential expansion…

First appeared in NewsBreak By Aron Solomon Last June, the Supreme Court overturned the landmark decisions of Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood of Southeastern Pennsylvania v. Casey, which together had established and fully entrenched the constitutional right to an abortion in the United States. The 5-1-3 majority decision was made through the vehicle of the new landmark case, Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, in which this activist Court’s conservative majority held that a woman’s right to have an abortion is not protected by the Constitution. The Roe decision, made in 1973, had established that a person may choose to have an abortion until a fetus…

First appeared in NewsBreak By Aron Solomon Supplementary Uninsured Motorist Coverage (SUM) is an additional type of car insurance that can provide extra protection in the event of an accident caused by an uninsured or underinsured driver. As New York lawyer, Billy Cooper, explained in an interview, while Uninsured Motorist Coverage (UM) can cover medical expenses and property damage if you are hit by an uninsured driver, SUM can provide additional coverage if the at-fault driver has some insurance, but not enough to cover all of your expenses. Having the right amount of SUM coverage is important because it can help protect…

First appeared in BOXSCORE By Aron Solomon Spring has sprung in scenic Boulder. This isn’t a complete list of players entering the NCAA transfer portal from the University of Colorado’s football team, as The Athletic reported on Wednesday. The transfer portal has become a major issue for both the NCAA and the Colorado football program, with 23 players from Colorado now listed in the database. Introduced in 2018, the NCAA transfer portal is a mechanism for ensuring compliance that enables student-athletes to express their intention to move between member institutions. Subsequently, coaches and staff members from other schools can approach the athlete…

By Robert Pokorski My responsibilities as a parent were no different from those of people who first walked the earth: keep my children safe, provide them with food, clothing, shelter, and a good education, and set them on a path to a long, healthy, and happy life. These innate, universal principles are shared by all parents, or so I thought. Legislators in some conservative states display a shocking disregard for these fundamental tenets of life by seeking to eradicate the rights of parents who have transgender children. Anti-transgender bills have been introduced or enacted in Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia,…

First appeared in BOXSCORE By Aron Solomon In massive international sports news, the team of former NBA players Michael Beasley and Eric Bledsoe was disqualified from the playoffs in the Chinese Basketball Association (CBA) due to allegations of game-fixing. The CBA’s initial investigation of last Friday’s events found that the two teams involved – the Shanghai Sharks and Jiangsu Dragons – were guilty of “being negative in competition,” with the Sharks accused of match-fixing. The Sharks’ Bledsoe was not competing in the playoff series as he was serving a four-game suspension. Michael Beasley was also not playing in the playoff series as…

First appeared in Western Journal By Aron Solomon Tuesday’s settlement in the Dominion Voting Systems defamation suit against Fox News comes with a $787.5 million price tag for Fox. For a news giant with a $14 billion annual revenue, this settlement falls closer on the spectrum to a serious wrist slap than a penalty that will shake the foundation of its business model. But Fox is not yet out of the woods, with the network potentially becoming the courtroom prey of a company called Smartmatic. Dominion and Smartmatic are both voting technology companies that filed defamation lawsuits against Fox over claims made by…

First appeared in Western Journal By Aron Solomon Dominion Voting Systems’ $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit against Fox News is over — literally when it was about to start. The suit had alleged that Fox knowingly spread false information about Dominion’s voting machines and their role in the 2020 presidential election. Dominion claimed that Fox’s coverage of election fraud was inaccurate and defamatory and that it caused significant harm to the company’s reputation and business. In December 2021, a judge in Delaware allowed the lawsuit to proceed, finding that Fox’s coverage may have been inaccurate. The lawsuit has exposed divisions within Fox…
