We have worked mightily to accommodate transgender people to an extent far in excess of their presence in the population — five persons in a thousand, or 1.65 million people in a nation of 330 million. This is five one-thousandths of 1% of the population. Yet transgenderism is now the tail that wags the dog of the entire Democratic Party.

He should amend his reports. It will be easy for the Left to make too much of a new report questioning the ethics of Supreme CourtJustice Clarence Thomas, but conservatives should not make too little of it, either. Thomas was wrong not to disclose apparently free, luxurious trips as a guest of Texas billionaire Harlan Crow.

Idolatry has run amok in the MAGA movement, and it demands a resounding repudiation from church leaders. According to Marjorie Taylor Greene, who professes to be a “God-fearing Christian” and “Christian nationalist,” Trump’s arrest vaults him into the ranks of “the most incredible people in history,” which includes none other than the Son of God.

America would be in much better shape if we did not have a president whose candidacy precipitated hush money or catch-and-kill payments. That’s the story of the death of conservative outrage. And it seems that Bragg’s case rests on the premise that Trump’s hush money payments are, by definition, campaign related. That’s absurd.

The indictment points again to his sleazy character, which has already besmirched the top office in the nation and should be allowed to do so no more. It reflects poorly on our culture that it is necessary to debate this — to haggle over whether such a vulgarian, who has been caught repeatedly (at least figuratively) with his pants down, should be the nation’s chief executive.

Who at political demonstrations chants and holds up signs that reads, “America was never great”? Left-wingers. Who teaches a venomous history of this country, insisting that the raison d’etre of America was slavery? The Left. Who sows division in schools by teaching children that if they are white, they are irredeemable racists, and if they are black, they are victims without agency in their own future? The Left.

It’s unclear as to why professional athletes of any sport should be expected to wear insignia supporting gay or transgender rights or any political movement. Political ideology isn’t relevant to one’s ability to play well, and it isn’t an athlete’s job to win people over to the side of social justice.

Washington Examiner

After years of athletes kneeling, professional leagues relocating all-star games, and female national soccer teams whining about equity, the pendulum might be starting to swing the other way. Recently, some athletes have taken a stand against these “woke” dogmas and begun to fight back against radical left-wing cultural politics. It’s been a joy to see.

The FAA estimated that a ban on lap babies would oblige families traveling with infants to pay 45% more. Some of those parents — it wouldn’t take much — would save money by traveling by car, which is much less safe than flying.

To violate moral laws, the cad must reject the dignity of women, who are his fellow human beings, treating them as objects for pleasure. A criminal hides his deeds to avoid legal conviction and punishment. A cad hides his deeds to avoid public shame. We should keep the distinction between a criminal and a cad in mind when assessing the possible indictment of Trump.

Having beaten the former president like a drum for three consecutive election cycles, Trump is their favored foe. They’ll suffer any indignity so long as he is elevated to the top of the GOP ticket.

Ron DeSantis could ride his pandemic response to the 2024 Republican nomination over former President Donald Trump — if primary voters still have Covid-19 on their minds. DeSantis’s reluctance to lock down Florida’s beaches and businesses helped elevate propel him to national prominence in the GOP.

Dominion’s lawsuit isn’t just a threat to Fox. If it succeeds, it’s a blueprint for destroying conservative media and independent media as we know it.

Any Democratic “outrage” over the footage realistically stems from being exposed for their deception. They made false claims and edited videos to manipulate public opinion over the Capitol riot. The Jan. 6 committee wasn’t a fair hearing about what happened

Washington Examiner

Much of the video shows the QAnon Shaman calmly walking around the building, escorted by police officers. It may not give a complete picture, but it still paints a much different picture than what Democrats and the J6 committee told the public. This is only the latest event that should make everyone ask: can we trust the government?

With Lori Lightfoot on her way out in Chicago, the position of worst mayor in America will soon be up for grabs. New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell may be at the top of the list. Cantrell ismired in scandals. It is alleged that she had an affair with a member of her security detail. She has been accused of using her city-owned apartment for personal benefit.

Even for those of us emphatically on the record blasting former President Donald Trump’s lies that the 2020 election was fraudulent and who have little sympathy for anyone who abetted those lies, Fox’s First Amendment claims should be respected.

Washington Examiner

The report defies years of legacy media coverage on the subject. For a long time, it was considered racist and xenophobic even to suggest that Covid-19 emerged from anything but natural origins. Anyone who raised the possibility of the lab-leak theory was shouted down by the sneering media and their political allies and branded as a “conspiracy theorist.”

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg’s response to a toxic chemical spill after a train derailment has put the former small-town mayor into the harsh spotlight once reserved for Vice President Kamala Harris.

Washington Examiner

It would, of course, be bigoted to criticize Buttigieg because he’s gay, criticize Harris because she’s a woman, or criticize Jean-Pierre because she’s black. But there is nothing bigoted about pointing out that the incompetent clowns barely holding up the Biden administration were chosen solely because of these irrelevant identity groups.

Former President Donald Trump in his Wednesday trip to Ohio briefly channeled the populist energy that distinguished his 2016 campaign from Hillary Clinton and over a dozen Republican rivals.

Both of these men are arguably victims of terrible women.If marriage is to have any value, then it must require a fundamental bidirectional promise to advocate one another’s best interests — something that is notably lacking in the Biden and Fetterman households.

At a forum this week, Buttigieg spoke not a single word about the toxic disaster in Ohio. But he had lots to say about the need to throw white construction workers out of their jobs.

Haley is not just ambitious but also daring in her decision to get into the race. It may not be enough. But if DeSantis seems too calculating and fails to take his opportunity now when the time seems right, there is a good chance that it won’t come again. Who dares wins.
