America First Legal wins case against Fairfax County Public Schools over boys in girls' bathrooms

Fairfax County Regulation 2603 requires all students to use “preferred pronouns” for gender-expansive or transgender classmates, and allows biological males to access girls’ restrooms and locker rooms by claiming gender identity.

“Our client’s rights were violated, and today she has justice," AFL President Gene Hamilton said. "Fairfax County attempted repeatedly to block this case, and they failed."

The Barnes Brief: Weekend of November 21, 2025

I.    INTRODUCTION

A. Art of the Day

We the People. It stands out above all in the scribed parchment inside the glass-encased shield inside the Rotunda of Congress with three words bigger than the rest: We The People. Penned on a single sheet of animal skin by Jacob Shallus, it stands out as the Great Charter of American liberty, the profound experiment in self-government, and still stands today as the oldest and shortest written constitution of any major government in the world today. Those words stand out above the rest, written in flowing letters outsized to the text, to remind the world upon what power our government sits: We the People.

B. Wisdom of the Day

“Monopoly is a great enemy” and a “wretched spirit” which poses a greater threat to the free market than as it prevents free enterprise from self-defense. Adam Smith.

C. Cultural Recommendation

Ratification: The People Debate the Constitution tells the tale of what the true founders – the generation that birthed freedom on this continent – thought as they argued the merits of this new document. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7841680-ratification

The Barnes Brief: Wednesday, November 19, 2025

I. INTRODUCTION

A. Art of the Day

One place where AI proves fun is its image generation capacity, whether for memes, dystopian dreams, otherworldly experiences, or translating photos and ideas into the templated work of famous painters. I asked it to convert this meme into a Hopper painting, and it turns out quite fun, as it blurs and blends the images into the spirit of the people and place, as Hopper so masterfully made so often. A Hush Hush of its own accord.

B. Wisdom of the Day

“AI is unfalsifiable and thus unscientific.” Erik Larson.

C. Cultural Recommendation

The Myth of Artificial Intelligence: Why Computers Can’t Think the Way We Do. The author, an AI researcher himself, explains why much of AI’s narrative is pure fiction.

The Barnes Brief: Weekend of November 14, 2025

I.   INTRODUCTION

A. Art of the Day

Working away in the hidden office, devouring intel and discovering information, to share with the world. My office looks like this, but replaced with digital feeds over the physical ones of yesteryear, processing the running feeds into recognizable patterns that can both explicate and forecast alike. To all the hidden offices uncovering what his hidden for the world.

B. Wisdom of the Day

“You will never understand bureaucracies until you understand that, for bureaucrats, procedure is everything and outcomes are nothing.” Thomas Sowell.

C. Cultural Recommendation

The Dark Side of H1B Visa exposed by a recipient, Raj Kuppa. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/25843858-the-dark-side-of-h1b-visa
