The Supreme Court ruled in favor of the biotechnology corporation Monsanto on Thursday, saying the company did not have to include a cancer warning on a pesticide label. In a 7–2 ruling that crossed ideological lines, the justices wrote that a federal pesticide regulation shields the company from lawsuits from people who allege that their cancer was caused by Roundup, the weed killer in question.Regulating glyphosate, the potentially cancerous ingredient in question, is a hot-button issue for the Make America Healthy Again crowd. And they’re not happy.In April, Vani Hari, also known as the Food Babe, rallied outside the Supreme Court against Monsanto. On Thursday, she wrote on X, “I am literally sick. This is a devastating blow to every family that trusted our justice system.“Every elected official now has a choice: stand with families harmed by toxic chemicals or stand with the corporations that profit from them,” she wrote.For MAHA, the Supreme Court case is a betrayal: The White House sided with Monsanto in the case, and President Donald Trump signed an executive order earlier this year promoting glyphosate production. Glyphosate is one of the most common pesticides used in agriculture, and Trump framed his executive order as a way of protecting Americans’ food supply.Alex Clark, a “wellness” podcaster and Turning Point USA member, similarly lamented the ruling on X.“Today the Supreme Court made it impossible for people who develop cancer after using Roundup to sue Bayer for failing to warn them about the potential cancer risk,” she wrote. “The Trump administration URGED and PLEADED the Court to reach this result to protect a FOREIGN chemical company—and it did at the expense of Americans. What happened to America First?”Bayer, the company that owns Monsanto, is German.If MAHA feels like the Trump administration has abandoned them, it may mean trouble at the polls. Kelly Ryerson, an activist who goes by “Glyphosate Girl,” told MS NOW that the ruling may not push MAHA to the left—but that doesn’t mean they’ll keep backing Trump.“They’re not going to vote; they’re going to be done with voting,” she warned before the ruling.
The tension in the Women's National Basketball Association is boiling over as star player Caitlin Clark continues to take what many commentators are describing as targeted abuse.The Indiana Fever guard has been increasingly critical of the WNBA's officiating while opposing teams have continued their physical play against her.'She is not being treated with any sort of respect.'Clark recently complained about getting "a technical [foul] for clapping" (again), and added, "We should all just go on the calendar now and pick a game that I'm going to be suspended for if I'm going to get technicals for clapping."While the 24-year-old's "emotion" and "passion"-fueled play may contribute to her rough treatment, the league seems ready to explode over recent incidents with her involving physical altercations.On Monday, Clark narrowly avoided an elbow to the face from Phoenix Mercury player Alyssa Thomas, which resulted in a review in which officials still found Clark guilty of a foul.Then again on Wednesday against the Mercury, things took a turn when Thomas seemingly pushed her fist into Clark's throat while she was on the ground, but no foul was called during the game. This — and another incident that reportedly injured Clark's back and resulted in a foul for the Mercury — seemed to be the final straw and set off a firestorm in the league, starting with Clark's coach, Stephanie White."The fist in the throat is crazy," White said after the game. "It's crazy. It's dangerous.""We have a generational talent and a WNBA superstar who had two cheap shots right there that weren't called. And I just say again, absolutely unacceptable," the coach yelled.RELATED: Jason Whitlock: Nike and the WNBA fumbled the Caitlin Clark phenomenon - YouTube Sports media broadcasters did not bite their tongue after the fouls, either.Barstool Sports owner Dave Portnoy shared a clip of the dangerous foul and asked, "What are we even doing here?""Brutal cheap shot. These women would still be flying commercial without Caitlin and this is how she is treated. Insane," Portnoy said, referring to the WNBA players getting chartered flights in 2024, Clark's first season in the league.Former NFL MVP Boomer Esiason said after the foul that Clark should "seriously consider" going to play in a different league. Esiason claimed she would get "the royal treatment" if she went elsewhere."I think that there's a petty, petty jealousy, and she's a straight white basketball player. And she is not being treated with any sort of respect," Esiason added.RELATED: 'Just follow the money': NFL doctor reveals why so many players are getting injured - YouTube At the same time, legendary Fox Sports host Colin Cowherd accused the WNBA of "driving into a wall at full speed with Caitlin Clark."Cowherd pointed out that a brand-new poster put out by the league commemorating 30 years of history did not include Clark on it. The poster featured Angel Reese, who came into the league the same year as Clark, as well as Paige Bueckers, a rookie.On Thursday afternoon, the WNBA announced it was giving Thomas a flagrant foul 2 for making contact with Clark's throat, ESPN reported. This came with a one-game suspension.Despite praising the league and its diversity in 2024, Clark has continued to be snubbed by women's basketball. She was even passed for the women's USA basketball roster for the 2024 Summer Olympics.Clark also only finished fourth in MVP voting for the WNBA in 2024.Like Blaze News?

“More people will die,” Justice Sonia Sotomayor wrote in one of the dissents against the rulings.
Pastor Kody Woodard has gone viral for claiming the Bible supports female pastors, but BlazeTV host Allie Beth Stuckey disagrees, saying he’s building his argument on passages that don't support the claim.“For the record, I do believe that women can be pastors. And the reason I believe that is because Scripture shows me that,” Woodard said in a video on Instagram.“I study the Scriptures, and I actually see that Apollos, who Paul compares himself to later, was actually taught by a woman. Read Acts 18. In Acts 21, four unmarried women prophesy in church. In Colossians, Nympha was the pastor of the church, and they met in her house. Chloe, same thing in first Corinthians 1. Romans 16, 1 and 2. Phoebe is a deacon. First Corinthians 11, women prayed and prophesied in the church,” he continued.“OK, not a single one of these examples is of a female pastor. And I see this a lot. Oh, this woman taught this person, or this woman corrected this person’s theology, or this woman shared her testimony, or this woman was told by Jesus to go share what He had done for her,” Stuckey comments.“I do believe that women are called to preach the gospel. I do believe that women can correct someone’s theology. I think women can talk about theology. I think women can love the Bible and teach Bible studies,” she continues.“But none of the examples that were given were of a woman leading a church as a pastor. Even the passage about women prophesying or the Holy Spirit coming upon men and women to prophesy has nothing to do with women being pastors,” she adds.In another clip, Woodard explained that any verses interpreted to command women to be silent in churches or not preach in churches are taken “out of context.”“People who make this kind of argument, you are banking on your congregation not reading the passage for themselves. That’s it ... I saw someone in these comments say, ‘Oh, that was so textual. That was so scholarly.’ It’s not at all. It’s banking on you not reading Scripture for yourself,” Stuckey says.“So that’s what’s going on here. And you can think that that is somehow oppressive or that is anti-woman. The truth is that women are just as made in the image of God as men, is that we have been given gifts, we have been given talents,” she continues.“The Bible is not an anti-woman text, but it is an anti-egalitarian text. It is an anti-men and women are the same text and are called to the same function and purpose,” she says, adding, “We are not.”Want more from Allie Beth Stuckey?To enjoy more of Allie’s upbeat and in-depth coverage of culture, news, and theology from a Christian, conservative perspective, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.
'Illegal immigration fuels widespread payroll tax fraud.'
The Supreme Court made one thing plain this week: It is an anti-immigrant court. There were hints before—big ones, to be honest. But in three rulings this week, the Republican-appointed justices voted to green light Trump administration policies against immigrants that both defy federal law and carry a massive humanitarian toll. This week’s decisions display, […]
