Greetings! More Trouble for Troy? The Maine Wire reports that Troy Jackson, Maine’s Democratic candidate for the U.S. Senate, fathered two children with his second cousin by blood.  The Wire’s article did mention that Jackson’s cousin is his longtime partner and they have been together since high school. Worth noting: The Maine Policy Institute, a conservative think tank, owns The Maine Wire....The American Conservative throws some serious shade on the recently deceased Lindsey Graham.  Contributor Doug Bandow writes that Graham “supported foreign policy catastrophes that harmed America.” The headline on his article asserts that Washington’s celebration of Graham was “unseemly”...The headline writers at the Washington Examiner earned their money this week. Today’s gem: It’s Not Just Biden – Washington Is an Assisted-Living Facility with Nuclear Keys....Macho Alert! The Daily Wire names three Russell Crowe movies every young man should watch: “Gladiator,” “Cinderella Man” and “Master Commander: The Far Side of the World”...Weekend Watch (retro edition): The 2022 #MeToo drama She Said, which I watched for the first time last week, seems especially appropriate for the summer of 2026. It’s based on the reporting of NY Times reporters Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey who exposed the sexual misconduct allegations against powerful movie mogul Harvey Weinstein that ultimately sent him to jail. As the Trump administration intensifies its attacks on the press and hurls baseless charges of “fake news,” “She Said” is a powerful reminder of the dedication of hard-working reporters committed to the truth and the strength of institutions like the Times that stands up to forces that would silence their journalists.

Fauci’s Silence on His Montrous Covid Sins Spoke Volumes and Solidified Him as a Reprehensible Villain

source: NY Post

What a cowardly and shameful final chapter for Dr. Anthony Fauci, who pleaded the Fifth 111 times in the Senate Wednesday even though he has a pre-emptive presidential pardon that gives him immunity from prosecution. In the history of Congress, only a couple of mob bosses have invoked the privilege more.

Was the tradwife lifestyle and accompanying “Little House on the Prairie” Instagram aesthetic, with its insistence on homegrown, homemade everything, simply too hard for women to stick to over time?

Before Trump, There Was Pat Buchanan

Buchanan never became president or won the Republican nomination. Yet on July 21, 2016, Trump accepted the GOP nomination after running on many of the same themes Buchanan had championed for decades. Some 24 years after Houston GOP convention, Buchanan’s ideas had become the Republican Party’s platform.

TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Greetings! The conservative Victory Girls blog offers a decent reason why so much secrecy surrounds Sen. Mitch McConnell’s (R-KY) poorly explained six-week stay in a hospital and rehab facility. “The moment it becomes clear McConnell cannot return, the conversation immediately shifts to resignation, succession, and control of a Senate seat,” writes Carol Marks. “Keeping information tightly controlled also keeps that political pressure at bay”... The American Conservative names three GOP senators who could derail what the editors are calling a “Vance/Rubio coronation.” They include Josh Hawley, Ted Cruz and Rand Paul....Agree! The Washington Examiner offers four reasons why Todd Blanche is “too dangerous” to helm Trump’s Department of Justice....TheRighting just published its first-ever list of the top 20 right-wing YouTube creators.  Podcaster superstar Ben Shapiro leads the group with seven million (!!!) subscribers. Extremist Candace Owens slithered into second place with six million subscribers. Her estimated monthly income can be as high as $121,000, according to Social Blade which furnished the raw data. And that  proves that outrage is a successful business model...WNBA superstar Sophie Cunningham is becoming a darling of the right for publicly proclaiming that transgender athletes should be barred from competing against biological females.  Furthermore, the Washington Free Beacon observes, the Indiana Fever guard has become a WNBA superstar in a sport “where attractive white women have long been marginalized and underrepresented”...Wedding Bells: Faded former right-wing politician Marjorie Taylor Greene wedded Brian Glenn, a correspondent for the far-right-leaning Real America’s Voice, in Las Vegas Tuesday night.  It was the second wedding for both of them.

Coward: Fauci Pleads the Fifth

source: Victory Girls

Of course the malignant little troll went that route. The coward just had to invoke the 5th. Fauci thinks he won by using this gambit during today’s hearing.

Fauci’s Cowardly Fifth Amendment Evasion

source: Washington Examiner

There is some legal question as to whether a person who has received a pardon loses his ability to plead the Fifth since the assertion is predicated on shielding them from future crimes, like lying to Congress.

Fauci Takes the Fifth, Alas

source: Wall Street Journal

The pandemic oracle is getting the scrutiny he dodged during Covid.

Fauci’s Legacy Was Cemented in His Pathetic Senate Appearance

source: Townhall

It was not what was expected – the weaselly Anthony Fauci pleading the Fifth Amendment, protecting himself from self-incrimination – but it was more of an admission of guilt, ultimately, than if he’d simply confessed to creating the Covid-19 virus in his basement himself.

Fauci’s Mockery of the Fifth Amendment Demands Senate’s Contempt

source: NY Post

America deserves answers about the feds and Covid, from the effort to determine the virus’ origin to public-health officials’ diktats on masking and lockdown — but got none of them from Wednesday’s Senate Homeland Security Committee hearing, because Fauci chose to take the Fifth for four hours, 111 times, never answering a single question even from the Democratic side.
