Former President Donald Trump on Tuesday won perhaps his biggest victory in his quest for revenge against Republicans who voted to impeach him when Harriet Hageman defeated Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) in the GOP race for Wyoming’s at-large congressional seat.

People are outraged now, but we are about 27 months from that election, and plenty of things will happen between now and then. Heck, at the rate we are going, plenty of things will happen in the next 27 days, let alone 27 months. It’s too far away to make any substantial and legitimate impact on the election.

Politics demands that the Department of Justice must justify the time, resources, and tactics used by the FBI when enforcing federal law. It is entirely unclear if the DOJ can defend the FBI’s unprecedented search of a former president’s home for what appears to be document retention malfeasance .Every day that the DOJ fails to explain why the FBI’s raid was necessary is another day the agency loses more credibility.

David Freddoso: I get it that there are a lot of Trump-deranged liberals on Twitter who are gleeful about this. They are idiots. If this turns out to be yet another flimsy controversy like Jan. 6, the Russia hoax, or either impeachment, the backlash against Biden and Democrats for politicizing the Justice Department is going to be immense. And Trump will have months to make himself the center of everything.

It has embraced a particularly dumb, contentious brand of woke politics at the expense of its sports coverage. It is now part of a thoroughly corrupt corporate structure, as evinced by Disney’s appalling behavior in Florida — and yes, I have a huge problem with their lobbying to sexualize and gender-confuse young children behind their parents’ backs.

But Viktor Bout must not be released.

To declare one’s pronouns is stupid. To change them after declaring them is downright asinine. Singer Demi Lovato announced that she, once again, had changed her pronouns during an interview on the Spout podcast on Tuesday.

Democratic Party strategists increasingly fear that Biden can’t win reelection. Polls show that most Democrats believe he shouldn’t run.

Soros claims to have seen academic studies showing that his handpicked prosecutors are not the cause of the spike in crime that is occurring chiefly in the cities where they operate. He even claims, without offering any specifics, that “murder rates have been rising fastest in some Republican states led by tough-on-crime politicians.”

If the national government throws caution to the wind and legalizes the trade nationally, it will not fix any existing problem facing the nation. It may well exacerbate those problems in ways no one has even anticipated.

Despite Trump and Pence’s speeches being different in content, they both pointed the Republican Party in the wrong direction.

By rewarding shoddy journalism, the Pulitzer board encourages outlets to produce and stand by shoddy journalism and subpar journalists. Retractions are less common because why would you admit you failed as a journalist when someone has attached a prestigious award to your name?

Documents from the Los Angeles Unified School District Human Relations, Diversity, and Equity office contain a month-by-month plan for schools to promote gay and transgender ideology to students. The documents encourage schools to “support students in starting a GSA or Rainbow Club” in August, “prep for next month’s Solidarity Week and teach LGBT- inclusive curriculum all year” in September, and “post LGBTQ-affirming signs in your office, classrooms, and around campus” in December.

Saying climate change is an emergency is a bit like the Chicken Little fable. The public will soon lose interest. Moreover, emergency action without real effect undermines trust in the government. Expectations are raised. Expectations are not realized. The public becomes further alienated.

If someone asks you for your pronouns, don’t feel pressured to answer. Tell them the question makes you uncomfortable, or better yet, find a practitioner that doesn’t partake in these exchanges. For anyone using placatory language like “birth-giver,” remind them that the word they are searching for is “woman.”

Is there any polling out there showing that anyone outside the Beltway can remember Cassidy what’s her name’s surname — Richardson, right? No, wait— it’s Hutchinson! That’s it.

Despite the shootings that receive widespread media coverage, white people make up the demographic with the highest fatalities from police shootings — nearly twice as many white people are killed by police each year.

Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) has done many classless things during his time in Congress. But this past week, he might have outdone himself with a tweet insinuating a connection between Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) and Robert E. Crimo III, the Highland Park shooting suspect.

Biden has never enjoyed support from Republicans, and his support among independents cratered soon after he promised a peaceful withdrawal from Afghanistan that became a historic catastrophe. But a string of new failures, capped off by a weak response to the Supreme Court’s completely foreseeable overturning of Roe v. Wade, has Democrats running to the press with calls for a change in leadership.

A gallon of gas is almost $5, hundreds of airline flights are being canceled every day, and a possible strike by West Coast port unions is threatening to make an already unreliable supply chain even worse. But don’t worry, America, your transportation secretary is focused like a laser on the top issue facing consumers and travelers today: racist roads.

Whatever freaky stuff people want to do behind closed doors, that’s their business. Increasingly, Pride events are attempting to make it everyone’s business, playing to the worst possible stereotypes as they do so. This isn’t a civil rights celebration anymore. As such, it’s time for Pride Month to end.

Some have painted Hutchinson out to be a hero, someone courageous to fulfill her duty of public service. Yet, reading the transcripts, it’s clear that her testimony is mainly based on statements made by others who did not testify. And if the committee believes this is their “star witness,” they have obviously never played the game telephone.

The secular Left’s campaign to purge the public sphere of all religious practice suffered a major defeat Monday when the Supreme Court ruled that a public high school violated a coach’s First Amendment right to exercise his religion when it fired him for praying after a football game.

The Democrats’ made-for-TV hearings revealed virtually no new facts, drew scant public attention, and surely failed to change voting intentions. Instead, they confirmed that the day’s constitutional waywardness did not reflect the Republican Party as a whole and underscored the fact that while Trump behaved dreadfully, other GOP officeholders prudently fulfilled their oaths of office and refused to cooperate with his attempt to overturn the election result.
