BETO O’ROURKE DROPS OUT OF RACE TO SPEND MORE TIME TAKING GUNS FROM HIS FAMILY.

SUZANNE VENKER: Just to be clear: It was women, specifically, who were groomed to shift their values away from marriage and family and onto the self. Men just followed suit. What choice did they have? “In other words, feminists want women to want what feminists want—and women tried. They really did. Now their lives are falling apart.”

J. CHRISTIAN ADAMS: Democrats Launch Effort to Win 2020 Election… in Court. “Democrats have launched a multi-state effort in courts across the nation seeking to tinker with the rules of the 2020 election to help oust President Donald Trump from the White House. These lawsuits are the latest in a longstanding push to use the courts to alter election rules, all in the name of ‘civil rights.’ The lawsuits are funded by dark money sources, and not-so-dark money sources such as George Soros’ Open Society Institute.”

JOE SCARBOROUGH’S ODD FANTASY: Trump Brought Down by a Fox News ‘Cronkite Moment.’
Joe Scarborough turns his lonely eyes… to Fox News??
Looks that way. On today’s Morning Joe, Scarborough dreamed of a scenario in which Fox News would turn against President Trump, thus bringing down his presidency. Scarborough analogized it to a “Cronkite moment.” That was the time in 1968 when CBS News anchorman Walter Cronkite essentially declared the Vietnam War unwinnable. LBJ was reported to have said at the time, “if I’ve lost Cronkite, I’ve lost Middle America.”
