So-Called "Railway Safety Act" Constitutes a Political Handout to Big Labor That Does Nothing to Improve Safety At All

America as we know it was built largely upon and because of our rail industry, and today it remains a pillar of our economy.

Unfortunately, a destructive proposal before Congress misleadingly named the "Railway Safety Act" (RSA), part of broader surface transportation reauthorization, threatens great harm to our railroads.

Actress Sofia Vergara is being sued by her own embryos.

The female embryos, named "Emma" and "Isabella," have been the subject of a lawsuit in California for several years, with the Modern Family star's ex-fiancé, Nick Loeb, seeking custody of the embryos.

In a bizarre twist, a right-to-live lawsuit has now been filed in Louisiana.  According to news reports, that lawsuit was filed by plaintiff James Carbonnet who is listed as a "trustee" of a trust created for the benefit of the unborn girls. The plaintiff claims that since Emma and Isabella were never born, the two embryos were deprived of an inheritance from a trust created for them in Louisiana. Carbonnet asks that the embryos be given to Loeb so that they can be born and live off of the trust money.

Loeb spends his time between New York and Florida, but he has ties to Louisiana.

Is "Democratic Socialism" so radically leftist, in reality so anti-Democracy, that its ultimate political reach will be isolated and short-lived?
