Roe Will Not Be Missed

Washington Examiner

The Roe position, that abortion is a sacred cow that democracy cannot touch, is the credo of high-dollar Democratic donors, but it is not necessarily popular with the broader population — at least not when they are clearly informed of what Roe means. A reversal of Roe will simply restore democracy and federalism.

Does Being a Lesbian Make You Better at Jeopardy?

Washington Examiner

Mattea Roach has become one of the greatest Jeopardy! contestants of all time. NBC News praised Roach’s impressive accomplishments with a recent tweet, but instead of celebrating her brilliance, the tweet rejoiced over her sexual orientation. It is puzzling how NBC News would know this and why it would put that information in a tweet. Why is Roach’s sexual orientation relevant in any way?

Even the Left Is Beginning to Admit It Has Pushed Transgenderism Too Far

Washington Examiner

Transgender orthodoxy has moved so far past the bounds of sanity that any attempt to question its effects is quickly discouraged and punished. We are expected to shut up and accept that public schools are passing policies to keep students’ gender identity transitions from parents, and that medical professionals can file to remove children from their parents’ custody if parents oppose physical and chemical transition efforts None of this is normal or even remotely defensible, and everyone, including many on the Left, know it.

End the Travel Mask Mandate Now

Washington Examiner

What little science there is on the subject shows that airborne disease transmission is not more likely on an airplane than it is indoors, where the CDC has already said masks are no longer needed. If anything, with all the fresh air brought into planes and all the filtering of recycled air, a plane is safer than the average building.

Jen Psaki Should Resign

Washington Examiner

The White House press secretary should have resigned last week when this news broke. This is an unprecedented breach of public ethics. Unfortunately, most of Psaki’s colleagues in the press briefing room seem to be OK with it. Psaki’s move and the media’s nonchalant apathy about it explain so much about what is wrong with the incestuous nature of the Washington media’s relationship with the Biden White House. 

Biden Has Gone Wobbly on Ukraine

Washington Examiner

President Joe Biden has offered a lackluster response to new evidence of Russian war crimes in Ukraine. Contrary to the conspiracy theories offered by some, the evidence for these atrocities is abundant and clear. Yet, when asked by a journalist on Monday what sanctions he would propose in reaction to Russian atrocities, Biden could do no better than “I’ll let you know.”

Culture War Themes Take Center Stage at Oscars

Washington Examiner

Oscar hosts Amy Schumer, Regina Hall, and Wanda Sykes joined forces to open the 2022 Academy Awards as culture war themes often took center stage.  Their opening monologue took aim at Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and Florida’s Parental Rights in Education Act, a bill that many on the Left have dubbed the “Don’t Say Gay” bill.

How Could Any American Patriot Back Putin?

Washington Examiner

Dan Hannan: What is it that Trump and his followers see in Putin in the first place? He does not respect elections. He believes he can make up the rules as he goes along. The sole principle of his foreign policy is Machtpolitik — let the stronger take from the weaker. He has replaced multiparty pluralism with a cult of personality. He can’t tolerate criticism.

Tucker Carlson’s Speech Is Not a Crime

Washington Examiner

Our culture runs amok with vigilante hall monitors looking for people who supposedly pose a “threat to democracy.” It is unreasonable for anyone to suggest that Carlson face a federal criminal investigation for what he says on his show. That kind of illiberalism is what everybody’s supposedly fighting against. It’s Putin that has people arrested for saying the wrong words.
