The Addicted, Petty, and Hysterical Left, by Victor Davis Hanson

By Victor Davis Hanson, American Greatness - After a decade of this unhinged furor, it proved worthless in winning public support—and for two simple reasons... One, after years of Russian collusion hoaxes, the laptop disinformation farce, and the warped lies about the “suckers” and “fine people on both sides”—the shrill left became predictable... So, the bored public began tuning them out, switching channels, hitting the mute button, and pulling the plug... Like the deleterious effects of inflation that eventually render a currency worthless, nonstop hectoring, hysterics, pontification, and distortion finally made all such criticisms of Trump mostly as valueless as 1930s German marks.

State Department Issues a ‘One Flag Policy,’ Banning Pride and BLM Flags, by Elise DeGeeter

By Elise DeGeeter, CatholicVote - The Trump State Department issued a “One Flag Policy” Monday, mandating that only the United States flag is authorized to be flown at all State Department buildings both at home and abroad... The new policy, implemented by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, effectively bans Pride and Black Lives Matter (BLM) flags from federal buildings... The order... states: “Starting immediately, only the United States of America flag is authorized to be flown or displayed at U.S. facilities, both domestic and abroad, and featured in U.S. government content.”

Not Personal, Not Political, But Social, by Jim Tonkowich

By Jim Tonkowich, The Stream - Just in time for the annual March for Life, several homes in my neighborhood have yard signs reading: “Pregnancy Is Personal, Not Political.”... That’s half right: Pregnancy is not political. Politics involves who we elect as president, governor, or mayor. It has to do with strategic energy reserves and borders, diplomacy, and national defense. Politics along with public policy and law are abstract and impersonal. Pregnancy is none of those things, and the countries that are attempting to make pregnancy a political issue are failing.

CatholicVote: Speaker Johnson: House to Probe Controversial Biden Pardons

By CatholicVote - House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-LA, told reporters Wednesday that the Republican-controlled chamber will investigate a series of controversial pre-emptive pardons former President Joe Biden made just hours before President Donald Trump took office... “There’s a lot of attention that’s going to be paid to this and I think that is appropriate and we will be looking at it as well,” Johnson stated... He called Biden’s pardons “shocking” and “breathtaking.” He specifically singled out the former president’s decision to pardon his three siblings and two of their spouses.
