Fox News: Debt deal delayed? How usual paperwork slows down Biden from signing bill into law
The delay in President Biden signing the bill to avert a debt ceiling crisis was due to an important and outdated "paperwork" process, known as the "enrollment and engrossment" process, dating back to colonial America. The debt ceiling bill remained at the Capitol for hours after the Senate approved the measure as it needed to be copied onto parchment paper and signed by the House and Senate officers before heading to the White House for the President's signature.
This tradition of copying legislative text onto parchment paper serves as a method of precision and respect for final legislative products becoming permanent law. Only 1,234 bills or resolutions out of 17,817 introduced into the 117th Congress became law, highlighting the importance and reverence given to legislation that makes its way to becoming a permanent law of the United States. The delay did not cause any significant issues as President Biden planned to sign the bill after Congress moved, regardless of when it hit his desk.

Despite government efforts to improve rail safety, several hundred accidents occur every year on India's railways, the largest train network under one management in the world. Ten to 12 coaches of one train derailed, and debris from some of the mangled coaches fell onto a nearby track, according to officials.

Human Events: UK math teacher fired for misgendering after saying ‘well done,
girls’ to female students
A math teacher in the UK has been permanently banned from teaching after being accused of "misgendering" a student and expressing Christian beliefs. Joshua Sutcliffe was found guilty of "unacceptable professional conduct" and "bringing the teaching profession into disrepute" by the Department of Education's Teaching Regulation Agency. The accusations began when Sutcliffe congratulated two students on their work, referring to them as "girls" when one of them reportedly identifies as male. The Christian Legal Centre is supporting Sutcliffe and warns that the ruling sets a dangerous precedent, with CEO Andrea Williams saying "Christian teachers can no longer express their beliefs in the teaching profession."
