The split-screen news media coverage last week with Harris’s highly anticipated southern border trip to Texas on one side and Buttigieg’s Pride Month East Room event at the White House on the other event previewed a rematch of the 2020 Democratic primary — either in 2024 if Biden opts against seeking a second term or four years after that.

Let Gwen Berry Represent a Country Less Offensive Than the U.S.
This should not be a difficult decision: If an athlete literally representing the U.S. will not stand respectfully for the flag and anthem, the athlete can find another country that doesn’t offend them as much.
Juneteenth Deserves to Be More Than a Political Football
It is not a cardinal sin for us to address the nuances of race relations, as some on the Right feel. Nuance and understanding are the first steps toward unity. As Americans, let’s all truly celebrate this wonderful new holiday.
Chicago Dyke March Chooses Antisemitic Hate
The Chicago Dyke March, on Saturday, is not about promoting Pride but rather a far-left agenda that includes antisemitism. One poster promoting the event includes a woman standing on top of a burning police car while holding burning American and Israeli flags. The woman’s shorts include the initials ACAB (“All Cops Are Bastards”), and the car is marked as belonging to the Chicago PD.
Gen. Milley Deserves No Applause for Defending Critical Race Theory
In a sane world, the people applauding the general would be calling for his resignation for having strayed out of his lane. It’s one thing for Milley to say he wants, personally, to understand CRT. It’s another thing for him to berate lawmakersfor questioning whether members of the military are being indoctrinated with a philosophy that advocates self-hatred, hatred for their own country, and racial enmity.
Uber-Privileged Don Lemon Divides Country While Pretending He Is a Victim
CNN is more of a circus than a proper news network. As viewers vanish, each of its personalities desperately plays a performative role to attract headlines and clicks. Don Lemon — ever the victim, yet always intentionally divisive — is no different.
Democrats Really Don’t Like Democracy
Hugo Gurdon: Party operatives instead say they must rush the radical agenda because it’ll be impossible in an election year or in the next Congress after they’ve lost. Think about that. Democrats know the public hates what they’re doing, so they slam their feet on the accelerator before voters can stop them.
Biden’s Silly Russia Summit
This was a summit without substance. Both sides postured, but only Putin gained the prestige of having brought Biden to the world’s most neutral territory to talk. That makes it a victory for Vlad.
DeSantis and Abbott Could Keep Career Momentum with Losers Challenging Them in 2022
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis must have been saints in a past life because their already successful political careers could keep on rising, as their biggest Democratic challengers in 2022 are perennial losers.
Most of the Media Will Sleep Through the Biden Years
Violent crime in U.S. cities is soaring. Inflation is spiking. The Mexican border crisis is deepening. Cyberattacks against key infrastructure are surging. Gas prices keep increasing.
We Don’t Need Ilhan Omar to “Clarify” Her Typically Anti-Semitic, Anti-American Comments
Democrats can take a real stand against her or they can roll over once again to appease the identity politics fanatics they have created, who only care that Omar is a Muslim woman and will justify every noxious statement she utters.
Universities Prioritize Their Racial Politics Over Academics
In recent years, universities have begun to prioritize promulgating their highly progressive racial politics over instilling students with the appropriate academic knowledge. Colleges, particularly elite colleges, have instituted policies, course requirements, and programs designed to inculcate students with radical, left-leaning values often centered on race and racism.
Kamala Is in Way Over Her Head and Everyone Can See It
For a woman who specialized in badgering political appointees with misleading and ambiguously worded questions when she served in the U.S. Senate, Vice President Kamala Harris sure is a hot mess when it comes to answering even the most straightforward inquiries.
Biden Rejoining World Health Organization Looks Worse Every Day
President Joe Biden’s decision to rejoin the World Health Organization without preconditions was foolish. Now, the organization is making itself an even greater mockery of the credibility that Washington is lending it.
What Did Fauci Know and When Did He Know It?
The newly published emails from Buzzfeed’s FOIA request reveal something that, for the sake of this nation, we hope isn’t true: that Dr. Fauci, the famed immunologist, may have known about Covid-19’s origins since the earliest days of the pandemic.
Following the Science Means Protecting Girls Sports
On Tuesday, the first day of Pride Month, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a bill known as the “Fairness in Women’s Sports Act.” The law prohibits transgender athletes from competing in sports that don’t correspond with the biological sex listed on their original birth certificates. It applies to both high school and college sports in the state of Florida. Controversial as this may be, it is the right move.
Biden Has His MAGA: Make America Goofy Again
Hugo Gurdon: I’ve noted that President Joe Biden steers his administration using his rearview mirror. Whatever President Donald Trump did, he’ll do the opposite. He talks about the future but seems to spend most of his time looking behind him rather than ahead.
Gretchen Whitmer Is the Andrew Cuomo of the Midwest
It is no coincidence that two of the worst coronavirus outbreaks took place in states that failed to protect their vulnerable elderly populations. Both New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer passed policies forcing nursing homes to accept Covid-19-positive patients during the early days of the pandemic, and both states suffered as a result.
China’s Chernobyl
The media and the Biden administration are beginning to acknowledge the real possibility that the coronavirus leaked from the Wuhan Institute of Virology. The only real surprise is that it has taken this long for them to get here.
Rick Santorum Completely Outclasses CNN’s Chris Cuomo
Rick Santorum could teach CNN a lot about honor, decency, and American history.
Why Fauci Is Suddenly Willing to Entertain the Covid-19 Lab Leak Theory
All of the so-called scientific experts knew from the very beginning of this pandemic that it was plausible Covid-19 leaked from the Wuhan Institute of Virology and spread to the rest of the world. They just didn’t want you to know that.
It’s Time to Get Impatient About Lingering Covid Lockdowns
The pandemic is over, as far as the United States is concerned. The brief period during which we should be expected to tolerate continued restrictions on our freedom, and especially on our children, is coming to an end, too.
The Media Must Veto Lori Lightfoot’s Racist Interview Policy
In response to Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot announcing on Tuesday that she will grant one-on-one interviews only to black and brown journalists, media outlets should refuse to interview her until she changes her racist policy.
The Inconvenience of Left-Wing Anti-Semitism
It’s time for the curtain to be pulled back on the nature of anti-semitic hate and media and political hypocrisy. Those who stand against terrorism, racism, and intolerance need to speak out and condemn its existence in every manifestation, regardless of political expediency, whether emanating from the far Left or the far Right.
