The Trump Verdict
Rich Lowry: I’m guessing it won’t have much effect one way or the other on Republican voters, who weren’t paying attention to the trial, as far as I can tell.

It will definitely add to his baggage in a general election if he’s the nominee, though.
Jordan Neely’s Death Will Be Abused and Exploited
Over the last couple of years, Neely had punched two elderly people in or outside subway stations. With the wrong punch, he could have killed someone.
Clarence Thomas and Harlan Crow Once Conspired to Aid a Penniless Widow
In an undisclosed meeting between Crow and Thomas on Easter weekend in 2005, Thomas mentioned that, through family friends, he had learned of a widowed elderly woman living near Pin Point, Ga., in a leaky tar-paper shack.

Don’t Let Them Rewrite the Pandemic
Anthony Fauci and Randi Weingarten try to revise the past.
Justice Thomas Acted Properly and Was Not Required to Disclose Trips
This latest effort by the Left is not about ethics, but about destroying the Supreme Court now that there is an originalist majority.
In Defense of Tucker Carlson

DeSantis Is Not Dead yet
Rumors of his political death are not just greatly exaggerated — they are absurdly overwrought.

The move would make a liar out of his former boss.
The Media Found Their Tennessee Victims and Promoted Them to the Hilt
Now Justin Jones and Justin Pearson have joined the likes of Stacey Abrams in that exalted status of victims of ersatz racism and nonexistent disenfranchisement. This confers all the moral prestige of being a courageous champion of racial justice without any of the downside of actual oppression.

The Walls Are Officially Closed
What Bob Mueller failed to do, to the great disappointment of the media and the Left, Alvin Bragg has done. There reportedly weren’t any mugshots, but — consolation prize — there is a still photo of Trump at the defendant’s table.
When a Democratic President Was Above the Law
The most obvious example is Bill Clinton’s perjury. At the time, the all-but-uniform argument among Democrats was that the Clinton impeachment was “just about sex,” as if covering up a sexual affair is somehow a defense to breaking the law. On the simplest charge against Clinton, perjury in his civil deposition, there really was no question that Clinton lied under oath about his affair with Monica Lewinsky.
