Sports Illustrated did something new and outrage-inducing this year to get attention for the dying publication’s swimsuit issue. This time around, one of the three covers will feature Leyna Bloom, a biologically male, 27-year-old transgender woman.

Vaccine-Hesitant People Have Legitimate Concerns That Must Be Addressed
The hostility toward the vaccine hesitant makes much more sense once you understand why there are still so many in the vaccine-hesitant camp. They’re not all conspiracy theorists, and they’re not morons. They’re people who have been let down and lied to by public health officials, and the concerns that have arisen from this breach of trust are legitimate.
The Delta Variant Is No Excuse to Return to Covid-19 Authoritarianism
The pandemic was exploited by proponents of big government and used to usher in unprecedented restrictions on individual freedom, mind-boggling levels of government spending, and an expansion of the welfare state that would make FDR blush. And, now, even with huge swaths of the public vaccinated and case counts and deaths a tiny fraction of what they once were, some power-hungry government officials aren’t willing to let this crisis end.
In Biden’s America, Everyone Is Entitled to Everything
Biden is supersizing the entitlement state of America at a pace that makes LBJ’s Great Society initiatives seem like a fiscal bargain. By the way, that was the infamous War on Poverty that spent more than $5 trillion over the next 25 years, and as the old saying goes: We fought a war on poverty and poverty won.
Biden’s White House Stumbles as Cubans Stand
Before this era of all-out leftism among Democrats, their party’s politicians used to show proud anti-communist colors. Today, it takes more courage for Biden to do the right thing than it did for JFK. He must tell his party’s radicals, people who still romanticize mass murderers such as Castro and Che Guevara, to pound sand.
Yes, Critical Race Theory Is Being Taught in Public Schools
While we all debate what critical race theory is and whether lawmakers should ban it from public schools, every honest person should agree on one thing: This theory is behind the curricula in school districts all over the country, shaping the minds of unsuspecting, malleable children.
The Press’s Michael Avenatti Humiliation Is 100% of Their Own Making
Avenatti’s rise and fall is yet another mark against a media that are already struggling to be taken seriously by a distrusting public. Newsrooms willingly latched on to the attorney because they latched on to anything in the Trump era that stood upright and said, “The president is bad.”
Why Trump as Speaker of the House Isn’t as Crazy as It Sounds
For an individual who relied so heavily on garnering attention, both positive and negative, this descent into relative obscurity could prove fatal to the former president’s political clout. Becoming the speaker of the House provides an answer to that threat.
Children Don’t Need to See Kink at Pride Parades
Pride parades that flaunt kinky sexual acts are not for children. They are for adults, and they must be kept that way. This is not about equality, freedom, vitality of life, or sexuality: This is about the safety and security of children.
Pelosi Cancels Fourth of July
Rep. Rodney Davis: During an average year, the U.S. Capitol welcomes 2.5 million visitors, but House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has refused to reopen the Capitol to visitors. And her refusal even to allow visitors on the Capitol grounds resulted in the outdoor concert regularly held on the Capitol’s west front to celebrate our nation’s independence being canceled.
ESPN’s Rough Week Shows Its Decay at the Hands of Liberal Politics
ESPN analyst Jay Williams congratulated new Boston Celtics head coach Ime Udoka on being the “first head coach of color” for the Celtics. The problem with that? Udoka was actually the sixth…In a rush to make Udoka’s hiring about race, Williams made a fool of himself (he claims that he was hacked, for whatever that’s worth).
Harris and Buttigieg Jostle for Limelight in Preview of Future Primary Fight
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.
