Recommended Stories list of 3 itemsend of list Under US President Joe Biden, individuals who registered for an appointment with US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) were preliminarily vetted and granted temporary legal status in the US as their asylum cases were adjudicated. About 900,000 people were granted so-called humanitarian parole under the programme. But in April of last year, just months after Trump took office for a second term, many of those individuals received emails saying their status had been terminated. The message told its …

Spanberger Signs Unconstitutional Bill To Strip Confederacy-Linked Groups Of Tax Exempt Status

Spanberger Signs Unconstitutional Bill To Strip Confederacy-Linked Groups Of Tax Exempt Status

Published by Jenni Sidey

Authored by Jonathan Turley, There has been growing criticism (and falling poll numbers) of Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger after she ran as a moderate and then immediately veered to the far left after her election.  Once in power, Spanberger and the Democrats unleashed a slew of tax increases, moved to eliminate all but one Republican district in the purple state, passed an array of anti-gun laws, and enacted other controversial measures. One of these measures is a clearly unconstitutional effort to strip pro-Confederate groups of their tax exemption. This week, Spanberger signed HB167, the law that eliminated the tax exemption for various confederacy-linked groups, including the Virginia Division of the United Daughters of the Confederacy, the General Organization of the United Daughters of the Confederacy, the Confederate Memorial Literary Society, the Stonewall Jackson Memorial, Incorporated, the Virginia Division, Sons of Confederate Veterans, and the J.E.B. Stuart Birthplace Preservation Trust, Inc. Notably, as soon as they came into power, Democrats also passed House Bill 1377 to move against the Virginia Military Institute, including appointing a task …

Vance Iran, Orbán setbacks could threaten Trump successor status

U.S. Vice President JD Vance speaks during a Turning Point USA event at Akins Ford Arena at the Classic Center on April 14, 2026 in Athens, Georgia. Chip Somodevilla | Getty Images President Donald Trump this month sent Vice President JD Vance to Hungary to boost its embattled prime minister and then to Pakistan for peace talks with Iran in hopes of ending the war the U.S. and Israel started. Both trips ended with highly visible setbacks and some awkward moments, leading to questions about whether Vance’s political star is still rising or if he’s being saddled with some of the administration’s heaviest burdens. Vance became the face of the U.S. delegation that last weekend failed to clinch a peace deal with Iran after a marathon 21-hour negotiating session in Islamabad. Tehran would not affirmatively commit to not seeking a nuclear weapon, Vance said. The talks generated an unusual split-screen: As Vance delivered the news from the Pakistani capital that “we have not reached an agreement” with Iran, Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio …

New psychology study links relationship insecurity to the pursuit of wealth and status

New psychology study links relationship insecurity to the pursuit of wealth and status

Published by José Betancourt

A series of six studies spanning 5 countries found that inducing attachment anxiety increases the desire for high-status cars and houses in both men and women. Increasing or decreasing intrasexual competition enhanced or reduced this effect. The paper was published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology. Status anxiety is the fear or stress people feel about their social standing compared with others. It involves worrying that one is not successful, respected, wealthy, or admired enough. This kind of anxiety is closely tied to how much value a person places on rank, prestige, and recognition. People with status anxiety tend to constantly compare their jobs, income, lifestyle, education, or achievements to those of others. Social media, competitive work environments, and unequal societies can make these feelings stronger. Status anxiety can lead to shame, envy, insecurity, and pressure to appear successful even when a person is struggling. It motivates people to strive for status and in the course of this striving may also push them to overwork, overspend, or seek symbols of success mainly to …

Townend has now won the Gold Cup and National in the same season for a second time and had the choice of eight horses from the Mullins yard to ride. “When they jumped off I got into a nice rhythm again, I still didn’t think he travelled with the enthusiasm of the first year, but I just thought the cheekpieces helped me in the middle part of the race,” he explained. “I saw the horse in front [Jordans], I wasn’t going to be the one to go chasing them. I was able to get a lead to the Elbow and I didn’t know where the loose horse was going. He [I Am Maximus] is a really, really good horse, that’s why [I always believed in him]. Obviously, Grangeclare West’s preparation was really good in the Bobbyjo, but this lad wasn’t telling me not to ride him.” In all, 16 horses finished the race. Robbie Dunne was taken to hospital after a heavy fall from Stellar Story, while three horses – Mr Vango, Top Of The …

The unexpected link between loneliness, status, and shopping habits

The unexpected link between loneliness, status, and shopping habits

Published by José Betancourt

Feelings of social isolation can drive people to purchase items to soothe their emotions, a habit that often evolves into buying flashy goods for social validation and ultimately spirals into online shopping addiction. New research published in Deviant Behavior outlines this exact psychological sequence. The authors map how a private attempt to heal emotional pain transforms into a public display of status that reinforces compulsive buying. Online shopping has become deeply integrated into daily life globally, but its convenience brings negative behavioral impacts. Core among these is online shopping addiction, a condition characterized by uncontrollable purchasing that damages an individual’s financial and psychological health. Understanding how this addiction develops is a major priority for behavioral scientists. Online shopping addiction is a condition defined by a strong, persistent craving to make purchases despite negative consequences. Psychologists evaluate this condition through a multi-component model. This includes salience, where shopping dominates a person’s thoughts, alongside emotional withdrawal symptoms when the activity is stopped. It also involves tolerance, meaning the buyer needs to spend increasing amounts of money to …

The nonprofit status of NCAA athletic departments is starting to raise questions

The nonprofit status of NCAA athletic departments is starting to raise questions

Published by Sam Flores

With all the talk of busted brackets, game-winning shots, point spreads and Cinderellas, it was easy to miss the eye-popping offer University of Michigan star forward Yaxel Lendeborg claimed to have received during the first weekend of March Madness. Lendeborg told The Associated Press that the University of Kentucky had dangled between US$7 million and $9 million to entice him to transfer there in 2025. Though University of Kentucky head coach Mark Pope called it “100% false” in a subsequent interview, the numbers being thrown around show just how big a business college sports have become. CBS and Turner are paying the NCAA about $1.1 billion annually through 2032 to air March Madness games. Recent court decisions, settlements and NCAA policy changes have opened the door for top college athletes like Lendeborg to earn millions of dollars. Yet athletic departments are still operating as tax-exempt nonprofits, even as a growing chorus of voices, from academia to politics, is wondering whether this designation should be reevaluated. The nonprofit mission Most private universities operate as 501(c)(3) organizations …

RAF heroes earn ‘ace’ status after blasting Iran drones | UK | News

Published by Sam Flores

The Rapid Sentry air defence system (Image: MOD) RAF Regiment gunners have earned the status of drone “aces” for the first time in history after blasting unmanned systems out of the sky. Four crack gunners from the regiment won the title while they carried out their job of protecting British bases in the Middle East. The title of “ace” is based on the same definition as in the Second World War, when pilots were described as such if they shot down five enemies. Armed forces minister Al Carns lauded them for shooting down Tehran’s drones “night after night, under threat”. An RAF Regiment gunner “ace” said: “We are all RAF Gunners—some as young as 18, many of us with over five confirmed engagements, and some just eight months out of training. Under constant threat, we are responsible for detecting, tracking and engaging targets, often while coming under fire but we continue to load and operate equipment even as missiles land around us.
