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.

Simply put, the bill has nothing to do with improving safety, but has a lot to do with advancing the political agenda of Big Labor.  At a moment when inflation burdens American families and fragile supply chains remain vulnerable to disruption, the last thing our economy or rail sector need is another costly federal mandate imposed upon one of the nation’s most important transportation sectors.

The ongoing legal battle between Real Housewives of Miami reality star Joanna Krupa and Real Housewives of Beverly Hills (RHOBH) reality star Brandi Glanville is getting much more personal.

According to news reports, the lawsuit stems from a 2013 episode of Andy Cohen's Watch What Happens Live when Brandi accused Joanna of having an affair with RHOBH star Yolanda Foster's ex-husband, Mohamed Hadid. During the interview with Cohen, and again in an interview with radio personality Howard Stern, Brandi allegedly announced that Hadid said Joanna's private parts "smelled." Joanna sued Glanville for defamation and wants $2 million in punitive damages, saying she suffered "emotional distress" and that her reputation has been damaged and the comment "hurt her ability to get work in the entertainment industry."

Now, a judge has ordered Joanna to hand over her gynecological records and financial records as part of the discovery phase of the lawsuit. Additionally, co-stars of the programs, Cohen, Hadid and others, are being pulled into the case, and Joanna has to turn in any communication she has had with them.
