Conservative Favorite Herman Cain Dies of Coronavirus
News of Cain’s death spurred some political opponents to deride the entrepreneur for his loyalty to Trump rather than appreciate his efforts to create jobs for fellow blacks and other minorities. In particular, ungracious critics mocked Cain for doubting that Covid-19 was a public health threat and for dismissing the wisdom of wearing a protective mask in attending Trump’s much-criticized rally in Tulsa.
Rioters Are Using Racial Discontent to Promote Marxist Agenda
This must be our wake-up call, because as Ronald Reagan also admonished, freedom must be fought for, protected, and handed on to our children to do the same, or one day, we’ll be telling our children’s children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.

NY Times Editor Bari Weiss Quits Over Newspaper’s Internal “Orthodoxy”

With Highly Questionable Legal Reasoning, Chief Justice Roberts Gives Liberals a Win on Abortion
The unfortunate reality is that Roberts once again put concerns about the court’s image ahead of the rule of law and consistent jurisprudence. He chose to abide by a four-year-old precedent that he contended—and still contends—was wrongly decided, instead of overturning that clearly incorrect decision.
Mob Rule Imperils Western Civilization. It’s Time for Courage, Leadership
Those who do stand up to the statue topplers and radicals—even those who could be broadly defined as “liberal” or on the left—will be drowned out and castigated, will be accused of being racist, and purged by the inquisitors of social justice.
Statue Toppling Is Bringing Mob Rule to America
This sort of mob justice is unlikely to bring us to a kind of post-racial utopia, a heaven on earth. More likely it will bring us straight to perdition, where free government disintegrates and we become a nation of men and mobs, not the law.
Who Will Bear the Costs of Rioting?
Black people must become intolerant of criminals who make their lives living hell, even if it means taking the law into their own hands.

Media Barely Try to Hide Bias Covering Sexual Assault Allegations
Perhaps our country’s most powerful media organizations now simply don’t care how utterly one-sided their political coverage is.This appears to be the case with how the media has treated the accusations of Tara Reade…
Sweden’s Unique Approach to Covid-19 Is Preserving Economic Freedom

With Ukraine Already on Lockdown, Chernobyl Burns
Kyiv, Ukraine—Seriously, what else could go wrong? Massive wildfires, including one within the Chernobyl exclusion zone, sent clouds of potentially radioactive smog into Ukraine’s capital city of Kyiv on Thursday—the same day an unusual sand storm hit the city.
Now Is Not (Yet) the Time to Cut Funding to the World Health Organization
While many developed countries are currently in the midst of dealing with COVID-19, the disease is just now starting to affect many developing countries. Those countries will depend on the international community to assist them in responding to COVID-19, and an announcement that the U.S. is cutting funding to the WHO, regardless of the reality, will be interpreted as abandoning them.
Radical Environmentalists’ Giddiness in Pandemic Exposes True Aims
While the country and really the whole world is enmeshed in stopping the COVID-19 pandemic, Obama and many others on the left are desperately trying to get Americans to embrace their agenda.

The Left Is Thwarting Trump’s Effort to Secure the Border
Rep. Any Biggs: Tremendous progress has been made in slowing the number of illegal border crossers, but there is still a long way to go to fully secure our border.
