So, which science are we supposed to believe?

How many of these things have to be launched before NASA gets it right?

Democrats' celebration of these types of events is really, really weird.

“Cain ruled in January that the Civil Rights Act only authorizes enforcement in cases of intentional discrimination.”

Looks like lawfare has hit a brick wall.  Title VI of the Civil Rights Act doesn't allow legal carte blanche after all.

Supporting troops: A bipartisan consensus amidst polarization

“Learn how a whole of nation approach can help recruit the force of tomorrow.”

Oh, no.  If the military can't recruit enough suckers, err... patriots, then the country would have to rely upon citizen militias.  And a President Kamala Harris couldn't lead the country into another quagmire without politically expendable troops. We might even have to resort to military...

It 'Ends Now'—Donald Trump Reveals Surprise Assault On 'Crooked' Wall Street

“Former U.S. president Donald Trump has said it's time to "take a stand" against Wall Street...”

Decentralized finance is a proper policy prescription, IMO.  Finance has gradually become so concentrated and autocratic that it is stifling the general economy.  It's time to break up the monopolies.  Bitcoin, or cryptocurrency, seems to be a rather dodgy tool to achieve decentralization.  But...

“Ukraine has captured dozens of Russian settlements, adding a new twist to a war that had largely settled into grueling fighting in eastern Ukraine.”

Ukraine has gambled and lost.  Ukraine's counter-invasion into Russia's Kursk Oblast was a valid tactic to draw Russian troops away from the front lines in Ukraine.  Unfortunately Russia hasn't take the bait.  So, now the Ukrainian counter-invasion becomes an albatross that cannot be discarded...

Social media calls out Tim Walz coaching history after former players take center stage at DNC

“Walz served as an assistant coach during Mankato West High's state championship run”

Rick Sutton was actually the head coach that turned an 0-27 team into state champions.  In typical grifting style, Tim Walz is stealing more valor. It would've been a lot more impressive if Tim Walz had been a hockey coach.   Go, Wild!

“The Labor Department issued revised figures for the 12 months through March that point to greater economic fragility.”

Bidenomics hasn't really been working after all.  So, now the Dem-o-ratz are doing a little CYA.

Tim Walz has described his family’s IVF experience. But they used a different procedure

Alabama courts did not halt IVF treatments.  That claim is a flagrant lie that isn't even told well.  The Alabama Supreme Court ruled that embryos created as part of the IVF procedure are children.  The immediate result was opening the door for civil suits against IVF providers over destruction...
