Democrat Rita Hart has withdrawn her request for the U.S. House of Representatives to toss out her narrow but certified loss to Republican Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks. What are the details? Hart lost by only six votes to Miller-Meeks in Iowa’s 2nd Congressional District race last November, and the state certified the election results. But the
Socialist firebrand Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) should have checked her own tweets before claiming that the use of the word “surge” is a white supremacist philosophy. Ocasio-Cortez went off on the use of the term when referring to the migrant crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border during an Instagram Live ask-me-anything session on Tuesday. The question

Not all restrictions on the right to vote should be presumed illegitimate. Clear thinking is not enhanced by assailing any restriction of the voting franchise as “voter suppression.” Nor are regulations which have a so-called disparate impact on black Americans necessarily racist.

The libertine left and their publicists in the “objective media” have a funny way of writing on their lobbying campaigns against troubling traditions like the “gender binary.” It goes like this: 1. Push the revolution from the fringes by testing the supposedly outdated cultural boundaries – say, putting “trans women” in girls’ sports. 2.
Thanks to Joe Biden, Mexico could soon suffer collapse and become more of a failed state than it currently is. Mexico already struggles to battle the cartels that dominate the drug and human trafficking trades on its soil. Joe Biden’s policies are not helping.

“The players on the U.S. women’s national team wish they could simply focus on soccer.” If you are at all familiar with the USWNT, you just did a spit take. That sentence opens Caitlyn Murray’s March 30 Yahoo Sports article on the team, and it’s a genuinely funny start for a piece about USWNT trying
The state of Georgia enacted election reform legislation, signed into law last week, that has drawn harsh criticism from the left. President Joe Biden and others have likened it to the Jim Crow era.

Sadly, last week’s mess of racial nonsense wasn’t enough for the family drama Queen Sugar.
