Remember when Biden called Hunter’s laptop a ‘Russian plant’ during the 2020 debate?

President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump will meet for a debate Thursday for the first time since 2020.

Trump should forget 2020 at debate

If former President Donald Trump wants to win tonight’s debate, he needs not to discuss his theory that President Joe Biden stole the 2020 election.

Trumpism comes to Britain

Trumpism has arrived with a bang in the United Kingdom.

[…]

The only MLB team without a Pride Night sparks ridiculous backlash

Out of 30 MLB teams, only the Texas Rangers do not host a Pride Night in June. As expected, the legacy media meet this news with shock and disgust.

Three special elections that tell us nothing about November

A favorite pastime of political prognosticators is to use out-of-cycle special elections as a predictor for the next major general election, but three recent special House elections show just how useless such analysis is. As much as we look for clues for the electorate’s feelings toward its elected politicians, special elections are never the bellwethers […]
