Lead: Supreme Court Messes With Texas

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the Biden administration can gain access to areas of Texas in order to re-open the southern border by removing barriers. Texas had deployed its National Guard to prevent the Biden administration from doing just that. 

This is a temporary ruling that grants the federal government access through an injunction.

Chief Justice John Roberts, along with Justices Amy Coney Barrett, Ketanji Brown Jackson, Elena Kagan, and Sonia Sotomayor all sided with the Biden administration without an explanation for their vote. Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch, and Brett Kavanaugh voted against this.

Does this make sense? The Biden administration is continuing to build former President Trump’s border wall but where a barrier exists, they want to tear it down? The administration said that the razor wire blocks prevented Border Patrol agents from making “context-dependent, sometimes split-second decisions about how to enforce federal immigration laws while maintaining public safety." 

New Hampshire Primary

New Hampshire will get it’s vote for a Republican presidential candidate today in the primary race between Donald Trump and Nikki Haley. Unlike in Iowa, in New Hampshire, non-Republicans can cast a vote. 

The townships that held midnight votes favored for Nikki Haley but that was only by six votes. This midnight tradition is called the Dixville Notch and it has not picked the state's final winner since 2008. 

Former President Trump is still leading in the polls, according to RealClearPolitics by a measure of 54.9% to Haley’s 36.7%.

Germany's Energy Crisis

Germany is set to announce plans for more gas-powered energy plants this week after inexplicably turning off nuclear plants. This is their truly puzzling plan to phase out coal power. 

The plan is set to cost €40 billion. It will be agreed upon by the Economy and Finance ministries as well as the Chancellor's Office in an effort to deal with the country’s energy crisis. 

You know what else would have helped the energy crisis? The Nord Stream Pipeline. Too bad it was sabotaged. Too bad Germany is not interested in what happened there. 

Is it any wonder that German farmers continue to revolt? The country is taking backward steps towards reliable energy and punishing the working class for it with high energy costs and taxes. 

Farmer protests have been popping up now in France and now Scotland. Recently European Parliamentary member Rob Roos spoke out about these protests as a reaction to "the ruling class" deciding that "we are 'living wrongly.’”

“You, Members of the European Parliament, need to look in the mirror. These massive farmer protests are about you. You are responsible for this.”

What's Trending?

This video is trending of Travis Kelce making heart hands after making a touchdown. The NFL posted it because they can’t deny or resist the Taylor Swift effect. 

Open University is trending because a court found that they failed to protect Professor Jo Phoenix when she spoke out about self-identification of gender. A court upheld most of her 20 claims against the school. Her compensation will be decided at a later date. 

The Razzie Awards are trending. These are awards for Hollywood’s worst of the year. It is the antithesis to the Oscars. The nominations can be found here

What Could Go Wrong?

Would you swallow a balloon to lose weight? That is a new weight loss technique currently in limited rollout in the U.K. It sounds fake but it’s real. 

The patient swallows a deflated balloon in a capsule. Once the capsule reaches the stomach, the doctor pumps it with one liter of water through a tube. The expanded balloon will help the patient feel fuller so that they eat less. The water balloon stays in the stomach for about four months before it deflates and the patient poops it out. 

Early trials show that patients lost an average of 15% of their body mass index in four months and kept 95% of it off for at least a year. 

It’s not the worst idea we’ve heard. How much worse can it be than swallowing gum, which stays in your body for seven years. Or is that an old wives’ tale? Yeah it is. Gum doesn't stay in your stomach for seven years.
