Liz the Mommy is no more convincing a con than Elizabeth the Girlboss, yet elite gatekeepers from politics to C-suites continue to buy the ruse.

We must ask why passengers felt they had to restrain Jordan Neely in the first place. The answer is simple: Radical politicians have drained cities such as New York of any law enforcement presence, with no care shown for the average citizens being deliberately placed in harm’s way.

The U.S. military is failing to meet its recruitment goals. The Army reported falling short last year by 25%, or 15,000 recruits. So how will the military attract new talent? Someone at the Pentagon apparently decided the answer is drag queens . Sadly, they weren’t joking.

Ever hear of Ottawa County, Michigan? It’s the epicenter of the “War on Woke,” the great battle of ideas on which the future of the American republic might hinge.

Those who have already written his career obituary will be sorely disappointed, and their brief delight over his firing may soon turn to abject fear.

Carlson has no chance of winning the Republican presidential nomination if he did run. He is a talk show host and journalist and was immensely popular, but he wasn’t so popular that he could turn it into a successful presidential campaign. Plus, if we look strictly at numbers, Carlson’s show wasn’t even the most popular on Fox. That honor belonged to The Five.

The sooner Republican voters accept this, the better their chances of kicking Democrats out of the Oval Office in the 2024 election. Otherwise, the extremely liberal Democrats will keep running the country, all because Republican voters chose to stamp their feet and insist on nominating Trump, rather than somebody who can actually win.

Poor Pete Buttigieg. He can escape from South Bend by moving to Michigan, but he can’t escape the reputation he earned in that northern Indiana city for racial insensitivity.

Let’s not mince words: Fox was wrong in how it presented the topic of then-President Donald Trump’s lies that the 2020 election was stolen from him. Deeply, unethically wrong.

Washington Examiner

The younger Trump is wrong to go lenient on Bud Light, and so is any other so-called conservative Republican echoing such absurd pusillanimity. We need leaders with courage and conviction, not plutocrats genuflecting to currency.

Washington Examiner

That would be true even if he did not have indictments and legal proceedings weighing him down. He has not said or done anything since election night in November 2020 that encourages people who voted against him in 2020 to vote for him in 2024.

It’s hard to tell what is most preposterous about Biden’s new mandate that two-thirds of all new cars sold in 2032 must be electric vehicles. Is it the huge shortage of critical minerals needed to meet such a goal? Is it that our electrical grid has nowhere near the capacity to charge that many EVs?

Unlike Right-wing racism, Left-wing racism is not confined to the fringes but has been woven into the fabric of what it means to be a mainstream Democrat. Without it, just to take one obvious example, the displacement of “equality” by “equity” would be impossible.

As a jurist, Thomas is a bold, thoughtful, and articulate defender of the Constitution. He deserves lionization, not just in the future but right now. To begin, we should laud Thomas’s approach to constitutional interpretation.

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.

Washington Examiner

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.

Washington Examiner

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.
