Going into the November midterms, we learn that the Republicans enjoy a double-digit generic ballot lead over the Democrats thanks to the concatenating failures of arguably the worst administration ever to preside over the nation. This has led to an overweening confidence by many pundits and commentators that a Republican sweep of the House and the Senate is in the offing. But one should never underestimate the resources of the Democrats, who are no slouches at strategic planning and, judging by past performance, have no intention of playing by the electoral rules. If this exigency is not taken into consideration and forcefully anticipated, the Republicans will lose another election

Transgender Confusions

It’s hard to think of an area of medicine more controversial today than the treatment of gender dysphoria in youth. Proponents and opponents of the new “affirming” paradigm of treatment routinely accuse each other of politicizing medicine, promoting dangerous ideologies, and abusing vulnerable children.
In the United States, civil rights discourse has come to overlay—some would say distort—these debates. In 2016, Attorney General Loretta Lynch likened North Carolina’s “bathroom bill” to the “dark days” of Jim Crow, when states “had signs above restrooms, water fountains and on public accommodations keeping people out based upon a distinction without a difference.”
A handful of federal circuit and district courts have ruled that schools must
The disconnect between New York Times writers and the country writ large isn’t surprising. Young, upwardly mobile, college-educated progressives — the cultural and political milieu that most elite journalists come from — have consistently polled as the most Covid-hawkish demographic in America. But that cohort is increasingly out of touch with the national mood. As the rest of the country — including a growing number of Democrats — moves to return to normal, elite progressives aren’t moving with them. The progressive wing of the Democratic Party, consisting of Americans who identify as “liberal” or “very liberal,” is one of the most educated political groups in the country

My family members have been major Disney fans for as long as we can remember. My parents honeymooned at Walt Disney World, and we go there at least once almost every year. I told somebody just yesterday that Disney keeps making it harder for families like ours to be Disney fans.
Between their constantly increasing prices and their continuing efforts to make trip planning more difficult, Disney has taken a lot of the fun out of our visits to the parks. On top of that, the company, which remained publicly apolitical for decades, has increasingly taken a hard-left stance.
Earlier this month, I wrote about how Disney was walking a fine line
Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich said Vice President Kamala Harris’s speaking blunders are a reason to pray for President Joe Biden’s health.
Gingrich told Fox News’s Sean Hannity that Harris’s repetitive ”the passage of time" remarks, in which she said the phrase at least four times within the span of a minute while speaking in Sunset, Louisiana, on Monday, highlight an incoherence on her part.
“Kamala Harris may be the dumbest person ever elected vice president in American history, and that’s why people keep resigning,” Gingrich said, referencing the latest departure of Harris's top national security aide, Nancy McEldowney. “I mean, if you were her national security adviser,
Lia Thomas and the 'Authentic Self'

If the New York Times poses as America’s newspaper of record, presenting every day’s news through the lens of woke ideology and the Democratic Party narrative, the New Yorker is our flagship “serious” weekly magazine. So when the New Yorker runs a sober 5700-word article about what is arguably, in the minds of our woke brethren, the major issue of the day - namely, trans athletes - it merits notice. The text in question, dated March 17, was written by sports journalist Louisa Thomas (hereafter “Louisa”) and focused primarily on University of Pennsylvania swimmer Lia Thomas (hereafter “Lia”), who at a meet in Atlanta last Thursday
Man! I Swim as a Woman

Shania Twain once had a hit song called “Man! I feel like a woman,” recorded in 1997, which was a celebration of womanhood.
Twenty-five years later, women athletes are singing a different tune, one of dismay over competing against biologic men.
What was once "girl power" is now simply horsepower, the benefits of male puberty and testosterone. In the song, it is, “Men’s shirts, short skirts”, but now it’s women’s swimsuits, long hair, and first place finishes.
I am referring to Lia Thomas, winner of the NCAA collegiate women’s swim championship 500-yard freestyle event last week. But Lia wasn’t always Lia and was born and grew up as a guy.
Washington -- The South Carolina Department of Corrections said Friday that it can now carry out executions by firing squad in the state should death row inmates choose the method.
The department informed state Attorney General Alan Wilson on Friday that it had completed renovations on the death chamber at the Broad River Correctional Institution and had established protocols, making it able to conduct such executions, according to a news release.
There are currently no scheduled executions in South Carolina. Executions there had been paused until the state was able to accommodate the firing squad option.
In May 2021, South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster, a Republican,
NEW YORK, NY- Much of what we are currently dealing with—from escalating gas prices to runaway inflation to Vladimir Putin’s genocide against Ukraine—can be traced back to the failure of the mainstream media to do their damn job and report on what should have been a scandal the equivalent of Watergate.
That of course is the bombshell revelation only weeks before the November 2020 presidential election of the contents of Hunter Biden’s abandoned laptop.
One of the leading outlets which buried the story is the so-called “paper of record,” the New York Times. Now all of a sudden, the Times has decided to report the story as fact.
Kim Foxx, the Soros-supporter top prosecutor in Cook County, Illinois, is taking advantage of a new law in that state that allows prosecutors to identify prisoners whose further incarceration “no longer advances the interests of justice.” Like other Soros prosecutors, she is a critic of “mass incarceration,” and has big plans, as Patrick Smith of WBEZ writes:
"Three Cook County prosecutors are assigned to work on resentencing motions, but they will only be working on the initiative part time. Foxx said her goal is to expand the program so there are dedicated staffers assigned and she said she eventually wants to loosen the criteria for eligibility.
The Islamic State (ISIS) is back. Five years after Donald Trump entered the Oval Office and quickly brought about the destruction of its caliphate in Iraq and Syria, ISIS is resurgent and wealthy. Could this have anything to do with Old Joe Biden’s misrule? Of course.
To be sure, there are other factors at play as well. An Iraqi security official said Friday that “recent assessments … put the group’s reserves at between $25 million and $50 million.” That could be a conservative estimate: the Wall Street Journal reported in September 2020 that ISIS had “assets ranging into the hundreds of millions of dollars across the Middle East and Central Asia,”
A judge in Chicago ruled Friday that an attorney for Jussie Smollett might have defamed two Black brothers who testified that they participated in a fake racist and homophobic attack on the actor when she suggested they had been wearing "whiteface."
The Chicago Tribune reported that U.S. District Judge Mary Rowland's ruling centers on comments Tina Glandian made on NBC's "Today" show in March 2019, shortly after the Cook County State's Attorney announced it was dropping charges accusing Smollett of lying to police about the incident two months earlier.
Discussing how Smollett had told police that one of his attackers was white, Glandian said that the very dark-skinned brothers

Sen. Mitt Romney on Tuesday criticized his Republican colleagues' attacks against President Joe Biden's Supreme Court nominee Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson's record on child pornography cases.
"It struck me that it was off course, meaning the attacks were off course that came from some," Romney told The Washington Post's Paul Kane on Tuesday. "And there is no there, there."
Lawmakers are staying busy to make sure abortion on demand is the law of state as the United States Supreme Court revisits Roe v. Wade, including in California where women will be able to abort their unborn child for free.“With this legislation, we’ll help ensure equitable, affordable access to abortion services so that out-of-pocket costs don’t stand in the way of receiving care,” California Governor Gavin Newsom said in a statement. Senate Bill 245, named the Abortion Accessibility Act, prohibits insurance companies from charging a deductible, co-pay, or deductible for the procedure, which in California is available until “fetus viability.”
Kamala Harris wasn't happy with Joe Biden appointing her to address the southern border crisis, wanting a more softball foreign policy assignment, and thinks the president's 'white inner circle' looks down on her, according to claims made in a new book. During an April meeting with Congressional Black Caucus leaders, Biden praised Harris and said she would do 'a hell of a job' handling immigration.
'The vice president corrected him at once,' New York Times reporters Jonathan Martin and Alexander Burns wrote in their new upcoming book This Will Not Pass: Trump, Biden, and the Battle for America's Future.(Snip)'Harris worried that Biden's staff looked down on her; she fixated
A Canadian branch of Home Depot sparked outrage after it posted a notice to employees about the benefits of “white privilege” and included a checklist for those who are “white, male, Christian, cisgender, able-bodied, and heterosexual.”
The notice, which is titled “Leading Practices — Unpacking privilege,” was
headquarters confirmed to The Post that the white privilege notice was material from its Canadian division. She said it hadn’t been approved by the company’s diversity and inclusion department. The flyer had a Home Depot logo at the top.
The Canadian staffers who were apparently given the learning material were encouraged to acknowledge “societal privileges that benefit white people beyond what is commonly
We'll get to the CDC changes in a moment. First, we are just beginning to quantify the ongoing damage done by COVID, as well as the harm inflicted by related lockdowns and restrictions. Children and students were particularly hard-hit by the latter phenomenon, as they were overwhelmingly safe from severe outcomes from Coronavirus infections – yet had their learning, development and overall wellbeing aggressively stunted by terrible government policies in many parts of the country. We also know that drug overdoses surged overall, and youth suicide attempts increased, during this stressful period featuring a great deal of social isolation.
With the price of gas rising across the U.S., lawmakers are developing a string of proposals to help motorists - from $400 rebates for all taxpayers in California to imposing windfall taxes on oil companies or a sliding scale of payments that could net families as much as $300 every month.The average cost of a gallon has raced past $4 a gallon amid domestic inflation and the impact of Vladimir Putin's war in Ukraine.This week, the average price of a gallon of regular gas in Los Angeles hit a record $6.011,

U.S. Sen. Cory Booker (D., N.J.) delivered an emotional and very personal defense of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson that brought the Supreme Court nominee to tears Wednesday during her confirmation hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee. ”You have earned this spot. You are worthy. You are a great American,” Booker told Jackson, denouncing Republican suggestions that the judge — who will become the first Black woman on the nation’s highest court if her confirmation is confirmed by the Senate — has been soft on crime. Booker, who touched on how he was the fourth Black person to be elected to
Madeleine Albright, the first woman to be Secretary of State, died on Wednesday from cancer at age 84. The mother of three served under President Bill Clinton from 1997 to 2001 and was a longtime diplomat.
Albright was born in 1937 in Prague, Czechoslovakia and immigrated to the United States with her family in 1948 as a refugee in the aftermath of World War II.
Her family fled to Britain in 1939 to avoid the Nazis and then the United States nearly a decade later to escape the communists' grip on Czechoslovakia.
Yesterday’s drama between the Mo Brooks campaign in Alabama and Donald Trump is an interesting one, which sees some of what we’ve been hearing behind the scenes spilling out into the open.
Yesterday, Trump rescinded his endorsement of Brooks, who is currently running for U.S. Senate in Alabama. Trump took aim at Brooks urging Republicans to move on from the 2020 stolen election and focus on winning future elections. Trump also accused Brooks of hiring NeverTrump consultants and changing his messaging in a way that made him plummet in the polls.
The upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy and Tron rollercoasters are just two projects in the pipeline at Disney World that could be delayed if employees who are protesting the company's response to Florida's 'Don't Say Gay' bill get their way. Protesters have asked the company to halt donations to politicians involved in the passage of the bill, such as Gov. Ron DeSantis—but they also want Disney to stop all 'construction and investment in the state of Florida' until the bill is repealed.(Snip)Gov. Ron DeSantis, however, says the bill's aim is to 'empower parents' in their children's education, and make teachers recognize the distinction between 'instruction' and 'discussion.'
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell announced on Thursday he will oppose Biden’s Supreme Court nominee Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson. Watch:(Video) McConnell made the announcement despite going into the confirmation process with an “open mind.”“After studying the nominee’s record and watching her performance this week, I cannot and will not support Judge Jackson for a lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court,” McConnell said.The notoriously calculating McConnell has apparently read the tea leaves and decided that the Republican Party would be ill-served to strike a conciliatory tone
The US State Department has offered a grant of up to $987,654 for projects that include reporting human rights violations by Israel, raising concern about the potential for abuse by organizations seeking boycotts, sanctions and international law tribunals against Israel. The Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor (DRL) announced "an open competition for projects that strengthen accountability and human rights in Israel and the West Bank and Gaza" last month, thought to be the first of its kind from Washington.(Snip)Prof. Gerald Steinberg, Director of NGO Monitor, which tracks funding for NGOs dealing with Israel-related issues, said he has never seen a US funding announcement of this kind.
