Hold onto your wallets, folks—California’s Department of Motor Vehicles has dropped a bureaucratic bombshell that’s got 325,000 residents scrambling to fix their REAL ID driver’s licenses.
A software glitch, buried deep in a legacy system from 2006, has forced this massive do-over, affecting about 1.5% of the state’s REAL ID holders with faulty cards that don’t meet federal standards, the New York Post reported.
Now, before the progressive crowd starts chanting about inclusivity, let’s be clear: this error only impacted legal immigrants whose IDs were issued without proper expiration dates tied to their authorized stay in the country.
Officials at the DMV admitted the blunder in a statement this week, pointing fingers at outdated tech from nearly two decades ago.
It’s a classic case of government inefficiency—systems so old they belong in a museum, not in a state agency handling critical identification.
While it’s tempting to roll our eyes at yet another Sacramento snafu, credit where it’s due: the DMV is stepping up to notify affected individuals and guide them through the replacement process.
“The DMV is informing affected individuals of the steps they need to take,” officials noted in a news release Wednesday.
That’s a nice gesture, but let’s not pretend a memo fixes the inconvenience of trekking back to the DMV—hardly a picnic even on the best of days.
Thankfully, the agency is waiving fees for these replacements, a rare moment of fiscal mercy from a state known for nickel-and-diming its citizens.
“We proactively reviewed our records, identified a legacy system issue from 2006, and are notifying impacted customers with clear guidance on how to maintain a valid California-issued credential,” said DMV Director Steve Gordon.
Proactive? That’s a bold claim when 325,000 people are already holding defective IDs, but at least there’s a plan to make things right without pointing fingers at the victims of this glitch.
Let’s not forget the bigger picture: the federal REAL ID Act, signed into law in 2005 and enforced since May 2025, demands strict compliance, and California’s gold bear icon on compliant cards is supposed to signal just that.
Officials were quick to clarify that undocumented individuals did not receive these error-ridden IDs, shutting down any notion that this was a backdoor loophole for non-compliant policies.
For conservatives wary of overreach, this is a small relief in a state often criticized for bending federal rules, though it doesn’t erase the frustration of a broken system letting down law-abiding residents.
Ultimately, while nearly 99% of REAL ID holders can breathe easy, the affected few deserve better than a shrug and a software excuse—let’s hope the DMV learns from this before the next digital disaster hits.
President Donald Trump has unleashed a firestorm of criticism, targeting the governors of California and Minnesota with accusations of rampant fraud in their states, as Fox News reports.
Trump’s pointed remarks, made on Wednesday, claimed widespread misconduct in both states, specifically highlighting alleged election irregularities and child care scams, while triggering sharp responses from state officials and federal actions.
Starting with a bold social media post, Trump didn’t hold back, branding Govs. Gavin Newsom of California and Tim Walz of Minnesota as "Crooked" and accusing their states of being neck-and-neck in fraudulent activities.
His statement, "There is more FRAUD in California than there is in Minnesota, if that is even possible," set the tone for a heated exchange.
Not stopping there, Trump also took aim at Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, linking a significant portion of the state’s alleged fraud to immigration issues and raising questions about her personal life, though without substantiating evidence.
While Trump’s rhetoric stirred the pot, attempts to get a response from Omar’s office or Walz’s team by Fox News Digital went unanswered, leaving the initial rebuttal space eerily quiet.
California’s response, however, was swift and scathing, with Newsom’s press office firing off a post on X calling Trump "a deranged, habitual liar whose relationship with reality ended years ago."
They didn’t stop at insults, boasting that Newsom has thwarted over $125 billion in fraudulent activities and cracked down on those exploiting taxpayers, painting Trump as soft on the very scam artists he critiques.
Walz also pushed back, using his official X account on Tuesday to argue that Trump’s approach is a calculated move to politicize fraud allegations and slash funding for vital Minnesota programs.
The controversy took a tangible turn on Tuesday when Jim O’Neill, Deputy Secretary of Health and Human Services and acting CDC director, announced a freeze on all child care payments to Minnesota pending a fraud investigation.
O’Neill pointed to serious claims that millions in taxpayer funds have been diverted to fraudulent daycare operations in the state over the past decade, prompting a nationwide tightening of payment oversight.
This federal response, including a new requirement for justifications and evidence before releasing funds, underscores the gravity of the allegations and adds fuel to Trump’s critique of state mismanagement.
On Wednesday, Walz doubled down on his personal X account, accusing Trump of exploiting fraud concerns as a pretext to harm working Minnesotans while allegedly freeing fraudsters from jail.
Walz’s frustration is palpable as he contrasts Minnesota’s efforts to combat fraud with what he sees as Trump’s hypocrisy on the issue, framing it as a deliberate attack on state welfare programs.
While the back-and-forth between Trump, Newsom, and Walz continues to dominate headlines, the underlying issues of fraud—whether in child care systems or election processes—remain a critical concern for taxpayers who deserve transparency and accountability from all levels of government.
Hollywood’s latest feel-good flick has hit a sour note with the very family it claims to honor.
Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson star in "Song Sung Blue," a film inspired by the real-life Neil Diamond tribute band "Lightning & Thunder," but the children of the band’s late frontman, Mike "Lightning" Sardina, are sounding the alarm over what they call a gross misrepresentation of their father’s legacy and their family’s story.
The movie draws from the lives of Mike Sardina Sr. and Claire "Thunder" Sardina, a couple who captivated audiences with their tribute act.
Mike Sardina Jr. and his sister Angelina, the children of the late performer, are not holding back their frustration with how the film portrays their father and excludes key parts of their lives.
Mike Jr. claims he was deliberately left out of the narrative, despite being a central figure in his father’s journey, while Angelina laments that the film fails to capture the spiritual depth of their dad’s performances.
Both siblings also point to a paltry $30,000 payment for their consulting work on the project, a sum they feel does not match the emotional and historical weight of their contribution.
“The only thing that was true is the love between my dad and Claire,” Angelina Sardina told Fox News Digital, her words dripping with disappointment over a story she feels strays far from reality.
That love might be the only anchor in a sea of fiction, as the siblings argue the film glosses over the real tensions of their upbringing and misses the essence of their father’s stage presence, particularly his heartfelt talks on recovery and support for struggling fans.
Hollywood’s tendency to sanitize gritty truths for mass appeal seems to be at play here, turning a complex family tale into a polished product that leaves the real descendants feeling cheated.
Adding salt to the wound, Mike Jr. and Angelina were invited to the New York City premiere in early December but were instructed to steer clear of the stars and media, a move that screams of calculated dismissal.
Meanwhile, Claire Sardina, Mike Sr.’s widow, along with her children from a prior marriage, Dayna and Rachel, have embraced the film, even joining Jackman and Hudson for photo ops and on-stage performances.
This stark contrast in treatment raises eyebrows—why celebrate one side of the family while silencing the other, unless the goal is to control the narrative and avoid uncomfortable questions?
Despite the family discord, "Song Sung Blue" has raked in $13.6 million at the global box office, with Hudson earning a Golden Globe nod for best actress in a comedy or musical.
Producer John Fox, in a text to Angelina, expressed regret over the siblings’ lack of input, stating, “I totally understand, and I'm sorry, know it's not the most ideal situation.” But sympathy via text hardly compensates for what Mike Jr. and Angelina see as a theft of their father’s hard-earned legacy for profit.
As the film garners acclaim, it’s worth asking whether Tinseltown’s obsession with heartwarming tales trumps the duty to honor real lives with honesty, especially when the subjects’ own kin feel so deeply betrayed by the final cut.
Brace yourself for a showdown in Minneapolis as independent journalist Nick Shirley and his researcher David take on alleged childcare fraud with a bold, in-your-face style, Fox News reported.
This saga centers on Shirley and David’s accusations of widespread fraud at state-funded childcare facilities in Minnesota, culminating in a criminal complaint against Gov. Tim Walz and a viral video that’s got everyone talking.
It all kicked off when Shirley released a viral video showcasing visits to multiple childcare centers, including the Quality Learning Center in Minneapolis, which appeared inactive despite receiving taxpayer funds.
The video caught fire online, earning praise from conservative heavyweights like Rep. Mike Lawler (R-N.Y.), Donald Trump Jr., and Elon Musk, who see it as a much-needed expose of government waste.
Yet, state officials and a daycare manager pushed back hard on Monday, insisting the allegations are baseless and that Shirley misrepresented the center by filming outside operating hours.
Call it a classic case of “he said, they said,” but the optics of empty facilities getting public dollars aren’t exactly a win for the progressive agenda.
Undeterred, Shirley and David returned to the Quality Learning Center on Tuesday, sporting sweatshirts emblazoned with “1-800 FRAUD” and a jab at the facility’s misspelled signage, reading “Quality ‘Learing’ Center.”
They posted their stunt on X, with Shirley captioning it, “WE OUT HERE LEARIN AND STOPPING FRAUD,” a quip that’s equal parts witty and defiant.
One has to wonder if this theatrical approach is about accountability or just good old-fashioned clout-chasing, though the frustration with unchecked spending is real.
Things got serious when David revealed he filed a criminal complaint against Gov. Walz three to four weeks before their latest visit, accusing him of enabling fraud under a specific Minnesota statute.
As David told reporters, “I filed a formal criminal complaint against Tim Walz for violating Minnesota Statute 3.971, Subdivision 9.”
He didn’t stop there, adding, “So there's an investigation ongoing, and I think Tim's going to have a bad day, and he deserves it, because he allowed this fraud.”
This complaint isn’t Walz’s only headache, as he’s already facing heat over a broader scandal involving at least $1 billion in alleged social services fraud, much of it tied to Minneapolis’s Somali community.
Critics argue this pattern of oversight failures undercuts trust in state programs, and while officials deny wrongdoing, the mounting accusations paint a troubling picture.
Taxpayers deserve transparency, not excuses, and if these claims hold water, it’s a stark reminder that government accountability isn’t just a slogan—it’s a necessity.
President Trump unleashed a verbal thunderclap at Mar-a-Lago, aligning firmly with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu while delivering a stark warning to Iran: test us, and regret it.
At a pivotal meeting in Palm Beach, Florida, on Monday, Trump solidified his alliance with Netanyahu, addressed Iran’s nuclear threat, and pushed forward on a recent Gaza peace agreement, according to the New York Post.
The optics couldn’t be clearer: Trump and Netanyahu, convened at the opulent Mar-a-Lago club, squashed any rumors of a rift with a display of unity.
Trump outright rejected reports of friction, asserting that their partnership stands stronger than ever through shared trials.
On Iran, Trump’s tone turned razor-sharp, promising unrelenting action if Tehran restarts its nuclear ambitions.
“I hear that Iran is trying to build up again, and if they are, we’re gonna have to knock them down. We’ll knock the hell out of them,” Trump stated, leaving no room for misinterpretation.
Trump suggested Iran might be eyeing new locations for nuclear development, a claim that amps up regional tensions.
He referenced potential use of U.S. B-2 stealth bombers, citing past assistance to Israel in a short conflict with Iran earlier this year.
Should Iran advance its missile or nuclear programs, Trump pledged immediate support for Israeli airstrikes, showing he’s not in the mood for endless talks.
Moving to Gaza, Trump outlined the urgency of launching “Phase Two” of an October peace deal, starting with basics like sanitation projects.
He insisted Hamas must disarm promptly, cautioning that failure to comply will bring severe consequences.
“If they don’t disarm as they agreed to do — they agreed to it — then there will be hell to pay for them, and we don’t want that,” Trump warned, driving home the high stakes.
Trump hinted that nations once tied to Hamas might oppose them if disarmament falters, though he avoided naming specifics beyond possible roles for Egypt and Qatar in peacekeeping.
While wary of external interference in the peace process, Trump offered light criticism of Israeli strikes in Gaza but affirmed Israel’s full compliance with the plan.
Trump also extended compassion to Israeli families with hostages still unaccounted for in Gaza, while lauding Netanyahu as a heroic “wartime prime minister” vital to Israel’s endurance.
Could a school really keep a parent in the dark about something as life-changing as a child’s gender transition?
In a case stirring national debate, Amber Lavigne, a Maine mother, is asking the U.S. Supreme Court to step in after alleging that Great Salt Bay Community School advised her 13-year-old daughter on gender transitioning without her knowledge, while Maine itself grapples with separate controversies over school policies and federal funding tied to male participation in female sports.
Lavigne’s fight began when she discovered a chest binder among her daughter’s belongings, only to learn it was provided by a school social worker, Just the News reported.
This wasn’t just a piece of clothing—it was part of a broader effort, Lavigne claims, where the social worker encouraged her daughter to adopt a different name and pronouns without a whisper to her as the parent.
When Lavigne confronted the principal and superintendent, she was met with justifications rather than apologies, a stance that only fueled her resolve.
Since filing her lawsuit in 2023, Lavigne has faced setbacks, with a federal judge in Maine dismissing her case and the First U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Boston upholding that decision in July.
Now, backed by the Arizona-based Goldwater Institute, Lavigne is taking her battle to the highest court, hoping for a ruling that could set a precedent on parental notification rights.
The petition argues for clear, nationwide guidance on school policies regarding gender identity, insisting that parents have a constitutional right to be informed about such significant decisions.
“We are asking the Supreme Court to step in and make it clear that parents like Amber have a right to know when public school officials make important decisions affecting the mental health and physical wellbeing of their children,” said Adam Shelton, a Goldwater Institute attorney.
Let’s unpack that quote—schools making unilateral calls on a child’s mental and physical health without parental input feels like a dangerous overreach, though one must sympathize with educators navigating these sensitive waters.
Amber Lavigne herself put it poignantly: “This situation is really about my parental rights being violated.”
She continued, “It’s about a social worker who had never even had a conversation with me encouraging my child to keep secrets from me. Our goal as parents is to raise amazing human beings who contribute to society, who care about other human beings, and to be left out of such a life altering decision just doesn’t make sense.”
While Lavigne’s case focuses on parental rights, Maine is also a battleground for debates over allowing male athletes in female sports, with Governor Janet Mills clashing with federal directives under President Donald Trump’s executive order aimed at restricting such participation.
The U.S. Education Department has sued Maine’s education officials over alleged Title IX violations, the Department of Agriculture has halted funding, and conservative groups are pushing a 2026 ballot measure to ban male students from girls’ teams—talk about a state caught in the cultural crossfire.
Lavigne’s struggle, though personal, mirrors these larger tensions, and while progressive policies may aim for inclusivity, one wonders if they’ve swung too far from common-sense family values; still, the pain of all involved deserves our respect as the Supreme Court considers whether to weigh in.
Is your tax money funding a ghost daycare in Minneapolis? Congressman Tom Emmer, a Republican from Minnesota, is raising serious questions about millions in federal aid funneled to a South Minneapolis facility that appears to be anything but operational.
The issue centers on the Quality Learning Center, where a viral video by citizen journalist Nick Shirley exposed an eerily empty daycare, despite claims it serves nearly 100 children, Breitbart reported.
Emmer is now pressing Governor Tim Walz for answers amid broader concerns about social services fraud in Minnesota.
This controversy kicked off when Shirley, a YouTuber, visited the Quality Learning Center during a weekday and found no signs of activity. There were no kids, no bustle, just silence at the facility.
Adding insult to injury, the center’s sign reads “learing” instead of “learning,” a detail that hasn’t escaped sharp-eyed critics. It’s hard to trust an educational facility with millions in taxpayer funds when it can’t even spell its own purpose correctly.
Shirley’s footage captured a tense moment when an unidentified woman inside shouted, “Don’t open up,” while wrongly accusing him and his companion of being ICE agents. That’s a peculiar way to greet visitors at a supposed bustling daycare, don’t you think?
In the video, Shirley himself noted, “There’s no one here,” a simple observation that cuts to the heart of this scandal (Nick Shirley, YouTube video). If a center claiming to care for 99 children is a ghost town midweek, where exactly is the money going?
Reports suggest the Quality Learning Center has raked in nearly $8 million in federal taxpayer money since 2019. This includes $1.9 million alone in 2025 and a total of $4 million over two years. That’s a hefty sum for a place that looks more like a vacant lot than a vibrant childcare hub.
Rep. Emmer didn’t hold back, sharing Shirley’s video on X and pointedly asking, “Care to explain this one, @tim_walz?” (Rep. Tom Emmer, X post). It’s a fair question—hardworking Americans deserve to know why their dollars are bankrolling an apparent mirage.
The timing of this viral video couldn’t be worse for Minnesota, as it coincides with a staggering announcement from Assistant U.S. Attorney Joseph Thompson. He revealed that half of $18 billion in federal welfare funds have been lost to fraud. That’s more than the GDP of some countries, according to the Government Accountability Institute.
The Quality Learning Center has a troubling history, with 95 violations flagged by the state human services agency between 2019 and 2023, as reported by 5KSTP. These aren’t minor slip-ups—issues like failing to secure hazardous items suggest systemic neglect.
Another violation included missing records for 16 children at the center. This raises serious questions about oversight and care at the facility.
This isn’t just about one daycare; it’s part of a larger pattern of alleged social services fraud in Minnesota. The scale of misused funds is a wake-up call for tighter controls on these programs.
Taxpayers aren’t asking for much—just transparency and accountability. When millions are handed out, shouldn’t there be a basic check to ensure the lights are on?
Governor Walz now faces mounting pressure to explain how such a facility could receive substantial federal aid with so little apparent activity. Silence on this matter won’t cut it when public trust is already shaken by broader fraud scandals.
Rep. Emmer’s call for answers resonates with many frustrated by government waste and progressive policies that seem to prioritize funding over results. It’s not about pointing fingers; it’s about ensuring every dollar serves its intended purpose—helping real children, not padding empty ledgers.
Tragic news has struck the reality TV world as a beloved star is gone far too soon.
Mickey Lee, a former contestant on "Big Brother," passed away at the tender age of 35 on Thursday, leaving fans and family heartbroken, according to CBS News.
Hailing from Jacksonville, Florida, and later calling Atlanta home, Lee made her mark on Season 27 of the CBS show, which aired this year.
Her family broke the devastating news on Friday through a post on her Instagram account, sharing their grief with a stunned audience.
The cause, as confirmed by her loved ones, was multiple cardiac arrests after severe flu complications—a harsh reminder of life’s unpredictability.
Earlier that week, Lee had been in critical but stable condition, giving a flicker of hope that ultimately faded.
In response to her medical crisis, her family launched a GoFundMe page to help cover expenses not met by insurance.
By Friday afternoon, the fundraiser had amassed over $32,500, showing the deep affection many held for Lee.
Yet, while this generosity warms the heart, it stings to know it couldn’t change the tragic outcome.
“Mickey captured the hearts of audiences nationwide through her appearance on Big Brother, where her authenticity, strength, and spirit left a lasting impression on fans and fellow cast members alike,” her family wrote on Instagram.
They’ve got a point—Lee’s realness cut through the often superficial world of reality TV, a breath of fresh air in a culture drowning in performative nonsense.
“Mickey’s light, legacy, and impact will never be forgotten,” her family added in their emotional statement.
Hard to disagree with that, though one can’t help but wonder if today’s hyper-divided society truly appreciates the unfiltered joy Lee represented.
Her passing slices through the petty dramas of reality TV, urging us to value those who connect without pushing some trendy narrative.
This loss is a somber call to focus on what matters—genuine human bonds over the fleeting squabbles of a woke-obsessed era.
Brace yourself for a political nosedive that could make even the most seasoned Washington insider wince.
Congressional Democrats have sunk to an unprecedented low in public opinion, with a Quinnipiac University poll revealing a measly 18% approval rating against a staggering 73% disapproval, while still managing key electoral wins in New York City, New Jersey, and Virginia, as the Daily Caller reports.
The numbers are grim, folks, and they’ve been crunched by none other than CNN’s chief data analyst, Harry Enten, who didn’t mince words on Thursday when discussing this historic tumble.
According to the Quinnipiac survey published on Wednesday, Democrats in Congress are sitting at a net approval of negative 55 points—essentially, they’re underwater deeper than a submarine on a bad day.
Independents, often the swing voters who decide elections, are even less impressed, clocking in with a net approval of negative 61 points, signaling a profound disconnect with the middle ground.
Enten put it bluntly: “Look at this: -61 points,” highlighting just how far congressional Democrats have fallen in the eyes of those crucial unaffiliated voters.
Perhaps most shocking is that even self-identified Democrats are giving their own congressional representatives the cold shoulder, marking the first time Quinnipiac has recorded a net negative approval from within the party’s own ranks.
This internal discontent is a fresh wound, as Enten noted: “Democrats’ net approval rating of congressional Democrats … is actually lower than the disapproval rating” (CNN).
It’s a stunning reversal, reflecting a party at odds with itself over leadership and direction in Congress.
Interestingly, there was a brief uptick in approval during the October shutdown, a momentary “rallying-around-the-flag” effect that gave Democrats a fleeting boost.
But that goodwill evaporated faster than a puddle in the desert, with voters—especially Democrats—souring on how the shutdown was managed, leading to this current freefall.
The data from Quinnipiac, which has tracked this question for most of the 21st century, shows this is the worst shape congressional Democrats have ever been in, a point Enten hammered home on air.
Despite the abysmal polling, Democrats somehow pulled off significant victories in November, securing key seats in New York City, New Jersey, and Virginia—proof that local issues can still trump national sentiment.
Yet, with a Reuters/Ipsos poll showing 46% of Americans aged 50 and older leaning Republican compared to just 38% for Democrats, the party faces an uphill battle to regain broader trust.
These numbers aren’t just a wake-up call; they’re a blaring alarm for Democrats to rethink their approach, lest they risk further alienating a frustrated electorate tired of progressive missteps and perceived disconnects from everyday concerns.
Imagine a quiet drive in Galloway Township turning into a nightmare, as a well-known actor allegedly pulls a gun in a fit of road rage.
On a fateful day in September 2025, Ernest Wesley Heinz, a 48-year-old New Jersey actor recognized for his work in the “Resident Evil” video game series and a minor role in “The Sopranos,” was indicted on 31 counts, including attempted murder, after allegedly shooting a woman during a heated traffic dispute.
This shocking incident began when Heinz reportedly cut off Maritza Arias-Galva as she attempted to merge at a red light. Tempers flared faster than a progressive policy debate at a town hall. What should have been a minor annoyance escalated into a life-altering confrontation.
Heinz didn’t just honk and move on; he allegedly exited his vehicle and threatened to end Arias-Galva’s life. This wasn’t a scripted scene from a video game—it was raw, unhinged anger on a public street.
Arias-Galva recounted the chilling moment to The Philadelphia Inquirer: “I know that kind of person, because I work in customer service. I just said, ‘Thank you, sir.’”
She continued, “And he said he was taking my life today.” If that doesn’t send a shiver down your spine, consider how quickly a mundane drive can turn into a battle for survival when personal responsibility is tossed out the window.
After the alleged threat, Heinz reportedly shot Arias-Galva in the face with a .380 caliber pistol registered to his father, leaving her with a non-fatal injury to her nose. Police provided immediate treatment, but the damage—both physical and emotional—was done.
Heinz then fled in a white Honda SUV registered to his mother, described by Arias-Galva to police as driven by “a White male with blonde hair in a ponytail.” Surveillance later captured him stopping at a residence in Port Republic, N.J., grabbing two bags—one from Wawa and another hiding a rifle. Sounds like a man on the run, not a man with a plan.
His escape led him onto Stockton University grounds, triggering a three-hour campus lockdown as law enforcement hunted for the suspect. Students and faculty were left on edge, a stark reminder of how one person’s recklessness can disrupt countless lives.
Police eventually apprehended Heinz at a residence near the university later that same day. Initial charges from the Galloway Township Police Department included criminal attempt homicide and aggravated assault with a firearm, among others. It’s a laundry list of wrongdoing that would make even the most lenient judge raise an eyebrow.
By early December 2025, a grand jury upped the ante, indicting Heinz on 31 counts, including an upgraded charge of attempted murder. Additional charges stemmed from firearms allegedly found in a storage unit Heinz visited post-shooting, some rented by a friend. One has to wonder if Hollywood’s influence blurs the line between fiction and reality for some.
This wasn’t a one-off bad decision; the layers of weaponry suggest a deeper disregard for the law. In a society obsessed with feelings over facts, it’s refreshing to see authorities holding individuals accountable for their actions, not their excuses.
Heinz remains in custody, with an arraignment scheduled for late January 2026, as reported by NJ.com. Until then, he’s not walking free to potentially endanger others, a small but necessary win for public safety.
As this case unfolds, it’s a grim reminder that fame doesn’t exempt anyone from responsibility. Road rage is a plague on our highways, and while we can debate the root causes—stress, entitlement, or just plain bad character—it’s clear that consequences must follow.
Let’s hope justice serves Arias-Galva, who survived a horrifying ordeal, and sends a message that no one, not even a “Resident Evil” star, is above the law. In a world quick to cancel over words, perhaps it’s time we focus on punishing real harm instead of perceived slights.
