Too little, too late
I’ll never take Tomi Lahren seriously, and you shouldn’t either. Not because she’s a conservative commentator, or once worked for OANN and now works for Fox, neither of which is a reputable media source. The rap on her is she’s an intellectual lightweight; and worse, lacks a [...]

Confederate candidate refuses to concede after losing by 20 points
Michael Peroutka is fighting mad. He’s still angry that Maryland was kept from seceding in 1861 by the state’s then-governor and Lincoln’s machinations (e.g., planting artillery batteries on a hill overlooking Baltimore after federal troops were attacked there; see historical detai[...]

It wasn’t a movie ending, but the “Kentucky judge who signed off on the police raid that resulted in the death of Breonna Taylor lost her reelection bid on Tuesday,” a Louisville newspaper reported (read story here). Judge Mary Shaw “was the only incumbent circuit judge to [...]
