Cue the doomsday music. (NY Times)... Rolling Stone magazine published a profile of controversial far-left political activist Hasan Piker, who once said that America deserved 9/11.  The article questions why everyone is so afraid of the progressive streamer.  The National Review characterizes the article as a swoon...Jill Biden’s former  press secretary, Michael LaRosa, triggered the left by tweeting his preference for Michigan Republican senate candidate Mike Rogers over far-left Democratic candidate Abdul El-Sayed.  (Daily Wire)...If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting.
