Praise for the “common man” is all too common in the world. It’s the “uncommon” man (or woman) for whom we ought to be most grateful.

A perfect example of an uncommon woman is Ella Knowles Haskell (1860-1911). Born in New Hampshire, she moved to Montana in 1888 at the age of 28 to relieve her tuberculosis and lived in the Treasure State for the remaining two decades of her life.

The Supreme Court announced it would rule on whether to allow recent laws passed in Florida and Texas that restrict social media sites from removing certain users and posts. These broad laws aim to prevent censorship of political candidates and all user viewpoints. 

In Chicago a lawmaker wants parents of "out of control" children to be fined up to $5,000 and take mandatory "family counseling," the Chicago Sun-Times reported.

Alderman Raymond Lopez introduced an ordinance during Monday's City Council meeting that would require parents and legal guardians to pay for their children's crimes.

The Colorado Supreme Court agreed to hear the case against Christian cake baker Jack Phillips, which he says is the "light at the end of the tunnel" after more than 11 years in court.

Phillips, owner of Masterpiece Cakeshop in Colorado, declined to create a custom cake for a same-sex wedding in a move that sparked a 2012 lawsuit that ultimately landed him at the U.S. Supreme Court. In 2018, the nine justices ruled that the state of Colorado was hostile to Phillip’s religious beliefs and that the government can’t force anyone to create custom works of art that communicate a message.

Nearly two years ago we wrote about the South Carolina Certificate of Need Law, which limits the amount of medical providers to a governmentally determined geography. The thought was we need to incentivize and protect hospitals to go into certain areas. Of course this counters the natural law of Economics; Supply and Demand. Very Simply - if you decrease supply (by eliminating competition) prices go up. Hello high medical prices.

On August 8th, wildfires killed at least 115 people through the Hawaiian county of Maui.  Now the county has filed a lawsuit on Thursday that “intentional and malicious” mismanagement of power lines had allowed flames to spark.

Retired NFL star Michael Oher, whose "adoption" out of grinding poverty by a wealthy, white family was immortalized in the 2009 movie "The Blind Side," petitioned a Tennessee court Monday with allegations that a central element of the story was a lie concocted by the family to enrich itself at his expense.

BOARD members from Florida's largest homeowners association allegedly stole $2 million from residents, according to the Miami-Dade State Attorney’s Office.

Former and current officials from the Hammocks Community Association that were in charge of 40 communities in West Kendall allegedly took millions from the organization and pocketed it for themselves in a scheme that lasted years.

The War on "illegal" Street Food has been going on for more than 100 years.  It is not just tacos. There are also illegal tamales. Look at this headline from a story last year in the Los Angeles Times: "450 illegal tamales from Mexico seized at LAX and ‘incinerated’".

A Belgian man reportedly ended his life following a six-week-long conversation about the climate crisis with an artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot.  According to his widow, who chose to remain anonymous, *Pierre - not the man’s real name - became extremely eco-anxious when he found refuge in Eliza, an AI chatbot on an app called Chai.

Eliza consequently encouraged him to put an end to his life after he proposed sacrificing himself to save the planet.
