If you want to hide something real good, just stick it in one of David Weiss’ law books.In his investigation, David Weiss will leave no stone unturned, except of course the ones the Biden Crime Family is hiding under.The Rich Men North of Richmond aren’t even trying to pretend anymore. The comrades in Biden’s Just-Us Department are totally in our faces with their breathtaking corruption.All the crimes that anyone else — even rappers — would go to prison for, the Democrat Beautiful People now walk away from. And then they set up fake investigations to run out the clock on their obstructions of justice.These scandals are playing out like a remake of some Seventies conspiracy movie like The Parallax View, or maybe All the President’s Men.Only this time, instead of the Washington Post exposing the corruption, the newspapers are all in on cheerleading for the Deep State and covering up for them.I don’t believe you could peddle a script about this unfolding scandal even to wokest Hollywoo...

Afghan universities ready to readmit women but not until Taliban leader says it’s ok, official says

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:59:54 GMT

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — Afghanistan’s universities are ready to readmit female students, but the ruling Taliban’s leader has the ultimate say on when that might happen — if it happens at all, an education official said Saturday. The Taliban barred women from campuses last December, triggering global outrage. Girls had been banned from school beyond sixth grade soon after the Taliban returned to power in August 2021. Afghanistan is the only country in the world with bans on female education.Afghanistan’s higher education minister, Nida Mohammed Nadim, said at the time the university ban was necessary to prevent the mixing of genders and because he believed some subjects being taught violated the principles of Islam. He said the ban, issued from the southern city of Kandahar by the Taliban leader Hibatullah Akhundzada, was in place until further notice.An adviser at the Higher Education Ministry, Molvi Abdul Jabbar, said universities were ready to readmit female students...

Beyoncé has a prenup − but do you need one if you're not a millionaire?

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:59:54 GMT

(The Conversation) - A prenuptial agreement can seem like something only high-profile people like Jeff Bezos – with his $138 billion fortune to protect – actually need.But prenups – contracts entered into before marriage that detail how assets will be divided in the case of divorce – can be a good idea for anyone going into a marriage, according to lawyers and marriage counselors. They have been in regular use since 1983, when a group of attorneys and law professors drafted the Uniform Premarital Agreement Act, a set of rules regulating prenups that 28 U.S. states have since adopted.A recent poll showed that the percentage of couples with prenups has risen from 3% in 2010 to 15% in 2022. Nearly 40% of married or engaged couples between the ages of 18 and 34 have signed prenups, while just 13% of couples between 45 and 54 have done so.As a law professor who specializes in family law, I teach my students what prenups are and how to mak...
