Did Texas Hand Biden a Lifeline?
The disaster in Afghanistan vanished from the front pages. Stories on the Texas bill appeared instead. These are stories that Democrats want to see. For the fact of the matter is that the Texas heartbeat law cuts against public opinion on abortion.

The California Public Employees’ Retirement System had more than $3 billion invested in Chinese companies, including 14 state-controlled enterprises blacklisted by the Trump administration, as of June 2020.

Gretchen Whitmer Hates “Out-of-State” Money, Unless It’s Spent to Help Her
Michigan governor Gretchen Whitmer (D.) condemned “out-of-state interests” for “pouring millions of dollars” into her state. That apparently doesn’t apply to her own campaign coffers, which prominent Dems have flooded with cash thanks to a campaign finance loophole. Whitmer raised $8.6 million from Jan. 1 to July 20. Nearly 44 percent of the money came from donors who gave more than Michigan’s $7,150 contribution limit.
Al Sharpton Is the Acceptable Face of Anti-Semitism
Despite his instigating role in the Crown Heights riot, the worst outbreak of anti-Semitic violence in modern American history, Al Sharpton has been embraced as a respected member of the country’s social elite. Celebrities, cultural icons, politicians, and journalists alike—you haven’t really made it until you’ve been photographed with Sharpton, the acceptable face of anti-Semitism.
Jake Sullivan Presides Over Yet Another Foreign Policy Disaster
White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan’s extensive experience as an architect of American failure in Syria, Libya, Ukraine, Iran, and Myanmar, plus the fact that White House press secretary Jen Psaki is mysteriously out of the office, made him a natural choice to defend the Biden administration’s handling of the rapidly deteriorating situation in Afghanistan.
Afghanistan Is the Most Inclusive National Embarrassment in History
The Biden administration’s Afghanistan policy may have failed in the conventional sense, but it was remarkably successful in terms of the gender and racial diversity of the individuals responsible for that failure. Many will die as a result, but blame for their deaths will be shared among an impressive array of female and BIPOC officials. All in all, this was a triumph of American exceptionalism.
The Lucrative Business of Woke Education
A top diversity consultancy has ties to every level of the private school accreditation process creating a lucrative diet of contracts and jobs for its employees.

Weinstein Fixers Donated to Biden Campaign and Serve in the White House

Lincoln Project in Ruins as Disgraced Super PAC Abandons HQ
The Lincoln Project, a Democratic-aligned super PAC widely loathed for enabling the sexual exploitation of young men, has abandoned its once-celebrated headquarters in Park City, Utah.

Time’s Up Founder Helped Cuomo Team Smear Governor’s Accuser

Illegal Parking Icon AOC Is Also Reckless Driver, New Photo Indicates
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D., N.Y.), the socialist firebrand who enjoys illegally parking her expensive Tesla near the Whole Foods in Washington, D.C., could also be a reckless driver.

Biden’s Covid-19 Death Count Hits 200K, the Equivalent of 83 Pearl Harbors
Biden achieved the grim milestone over the weekend as American athletes were embarrassing their country at the Olympics.

Biden, Mark Kelly Worked with Intel Firm Hired to Smear Harvey Weinstein Accusers
The campaigns for President Biden and Sen. Mark Kelly (D., Ariz.) hired the private intelligence firm that Harvey Weinstein’s legal team tapped to investigate and smear a woman who accused the disgraced mogul of sexual assault.
