Stacey Abrams? The same Stacey Abrams who’s been telling voters in Georgia ahead of her next run for governor in 2022 that she’s against boycotts for fear of the economic damage they’ll do to lower-income workers? She couldn’t be saying one thing to the public and another to business leaders behind closed doors, could she?

As we discussed yesterday, Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson inexplicably vetoed a bill on Monday that would have banned doctors from prescribing puberty-blocking drugs or cross-sex hormones to children for the purpose of treating gender dysphoria. The bill would also make it illegal for doctors to perform castrations or other genital mutilations on children for the
A little palate cleanser of a story at the end of a long day. On Monday Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers began a two-week stint as guest host on Jeopardy!. A little fun was had at his expense during the Final round question. The two-day returning champ, Scott Shewfelt, took a not-subtle-at-all jab at
A tasty leftover from yesterday via Breitbart. It caught Politico’s attention last night too. It’s strange that on the very day MLB was preparing to move the All-Star Game from Atlanta to Denver that the White House would strain to minimize Biden’s role in that process. Is Team Joe rethinking the politics here? Watch what
Senator John Barrasso, a Republican from Wyoming, was interviewed on Sunday Morning Futures and made an interesting statement about his recent visit to the U.S.-Mexico border. He said that a Biden administration official instructed the senators in the delegation led by Senators John Cornyn and Ted Cruz to delete their photos. None of the Republican
If I’d asked you to predict 12 and a half months ago as America began locking down whether suicides and road fatalities would rise or fall in 2020, you would have guessed there’d be many more of the former and far fewer of the latter. And when I say “you,” I mean all of you.
An update to last week’s post about case counts declining in the Lone Star state. Not only have cases continued to fall in Texas since then, the seven-day average is now the lowest it’s been since June 18, 2020 according to Worldometer. Yesterday the state was averaging just 3,263 daily confirmed infections. On March 10,
Is it time to cancel Ken Burns at PBS? It’s not easy being a white, male, cisgender filmmaker these days over at the taxpayer-funded public television network. Burns has achieved immense success for his documentaries made for PBS and has been generously rewarded for his work there. A group of nearly 140 filmmakers and other
May all of our readers have a happy and blessed Easter celebration today, as we begin to see light at the end of a tunnel that we started entering about this time last year. We would also like to wish our Jewish readers a belated Passover greeting, as this year both events take place close
Have you ever had one of those moments when it seems as if you’ve slipped through some sort of dimensional doorway into an alternate reality, as happened in some of the original episodes of the Twilight Zone? Reading some of the liberal editorials making the rounds these days can produce a similar effect. That’s what
Senator Ted Cruz and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez are at it again. The two lawmakers are battling on social media over the crisis on the border and immigration reform. AOC called for Cruz’s resignation and Cruz dropped a Rickroll tweet during their back and forth exchange. AOC was tweeting about “Ted Cruz types” taking tours of
Vermont Governor Phil Scott, a Republican, announced the decision to open up Covid-19 vaccination availability to everyone over the age of 16, except for white people. There is a prioritization of anyone who identifies as black, indigenous, or a person of color in Vermont. Governor Scott spread the word via a tweet. It seems like
The United States isn’t the only country struggling with the concept of immunity passports and what they could mean for the freedom and privacy of citizens. Israel has thus far been one of the most successful nations on the planet in terms of getting most of their population vaccinated in record time. They are already
For most of the last forty years, the media has largely treated Nancy Reagan as either a caricature, a kook, or a convenient punching bag. Ronald Reagan always insisted that his wife was also his most important partner, but while the president has reaped the accolades of history in his economics and foreign policy, the
Montana Governor Gov. Greg Gianforte signed a bill banning sanctuary cities in the state. There aren’t any sanctuary cities in Montana but he wants to be proactive. He sends a message that “We are a nation of laws, and immigration laws will be enforced in Montana.” That is clear enough. At a time when a
If so, your wait is over tomorrow. On Good Friday, the independent film Roe v Wade will get a wide release in practically every on-line and cable platform. It tells the back story of the court case that became Roe v Wade from the pro-life perspective of Dr. Bernard Nathanson, who was one of the original pro-abortion activists
The CEO of Delta Airlines is now calling Georgia’s new voting law “unacceptable”. This is a 360-degree reversal of a statement released last Friday by the company, headquartered in Atlanta. That was then, this is now. There is no other way to look at a statement released today by Delta Airlines CEO Ed Bastian but
Thus endeth Tony Evers’ end run around the Wisconsin statute and the state constitution. In a narrow 4-3 decision, the state supreme court ended Evers’ efforts to keep issuing emergency declarations in order to maintain control of COVID-19 policies and enforcement. That means the state’s mask mandate will end immediately, unless Evers can convince the
One way to distribute Covid-19 vaccinations is for the vaccinations to go to the recipients instead of recipients going to vaccination locations. This line of thought is being presented as a way to ease what is often described as inequities in underserved communities to access vaccinations. This idea is being used by retailers in some
Chuck Schumer and his Senate Democrat colleagues have a gun control problem on their hands. President Joe Biden has already promised his liberal supporters that he was going to get some gun control legislation passed, but even the bill viewed as having the best chance of reaching his desk has been declared “dead on arrival”
*blink blink* Say what? Just days after WHO tried to quash any discussion of alternative theories about COVID-19’s origin other than the presumed zoonotic jump, its director has thrown open the floor again. Did someone block Xi Jinping’s texts on Tedros Gheyebresus’ phone? For months, scientists, politicians and others outside China have promoted the theory
This has been a long time coming. Ghislaine Maxwell, who allegedly served as Jeffrey Epstein’s massage scheduler and procurer of young girls, has been charged with sex trafficking of a 14-year-old. Ghislaine Maxwell, the longtime associate of Jeffrey Epstein, was charged on Monday for the first time with sex-trafficking of a minor, as federal prosecutors
Seems ludicrous given how small the risk of infection is, but you know how it goes with Fauci and other public health experts. If there’s any risk, you take precautions. Even, I guess, with a bunch of five-year-olds chasing each other around a playground in the open air. PLAYGROUP GUIDANCE: Even as more parents receive
If the CDC hadn’t crapped the bed on distributing an accurate diagnostic test expeditiously last January and February, and if experts hadn’t told the public a “noble lie” early about masks being ineffective in order to preserve the existing supply for medical personnel, we might have been able to limit the first 100,000 too. A
Montero Lamar Hill a.k.a. rapper Lil Nas X has a new video out now that is controversial, to say the least. On March 25 he released his newest song which is a letter written to his younger self. The timing of the video and a pair of sneakers being promoted in conjunction with the new
After a lengthy period of not doing anything terribly provocative, North Korea has “test-fired” at least three and possibly as many as five missiles in the past couple of weeks. Considering how often this used to happen before Donald Trump’s efforts a negotiating with dictator Kim Jong-un, most analysts who study activities on the Korean
Something seems really off about this Asian hate crime narrative being pushed regarding the Georgia spa killings. The facts don’t support the narrative. Cherokee County sheriff’s investigators said the accused shooter was addicted to sex and saw the spas as a temptation in need of elimination. Atlanta police said the man was a customer at
Former late-night television host Jay Leno has issued a public apology to Asian-Americans for jokes he has told over his career. The apology came during a conference call he participated in with an Asian-American advocacy group. Leno is going out of his way to say that this isn’t an example of cancel culture, but rather
A group of Republican senators made a trip to the Texas-Mexico border Thursday night. Led by Texas Senators Cornyn and Cruz, the senators were able to see nighttime activity on the Rio Grande River as border patrol officers worked the midnight patrol. A smaller group of House Democrats toured a detention facility in a town
There’s spin, and then there’s … this. Donald Trump called into Laura Ingraham’s show on Fox News to discuss the Capitol riot, and Trump considers the whole issue overblown. “It was zero threat, right from the start,” Trump says, which is a curious way to describe a riot that produced injuries to 138 police officers (at
