HISTORY OF THE AMERICANS: Sidebar Conversation: Phil Magness on The 1619 Project.
HE’S NOT WRONG:
I know I’m new to the conservative moment, but…
…can anyone explain to me what is stopping the GOP from bringing up extremely popular, single-issue bills for a vote, every single day of the Trump administration?
I don’t understand.

IT WAS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THERE WOULD BE NO MATH: DNC Tweets, Then Deletes, Chart Showing Soaring Grocery Prices Under Biden: The post, intended to attack Trump, has drawn mockery across social media. “The DNC failed to realize, however, that the chart showed grocery prices skyrocketing beginning in 2021—shortly after Biden took office—and leveling off in late 2024—following Trump’s reelection.”
NOT THE NARRATIVE: WSJ Poll: Trump Bump in the Polls; Dems Dive Even Deeper.
HE’S NOT WRONG:
Republicans in red states are complacent. Look what is happening to Salt Lake City, it’ll be Somalia within a decade. Unless people focus less on hating California and RULE their own states.

“CLIMATE CHANGE” FLASHBACK: Ban A/C for DC: If our rulers think global warming is a crisis, let them be a good example for the rest of us. “We won two world wars without air conditioning our federal employees. Nothing in their performance over the last 50 or 60 years suggests that A/C has improved things. Besides, The Washington Post informs us that A/C is sexist, and that Europeans think it’s stupid.”
HIGHER EDUCATION BUBBLE UPDATE:
If you want to understand why the universities have become stupid, you have to understand that the universities have literally become stupid.

JOHN LUCAS: The Red Army Juggernaut Ain’t What She Used to Be. “Each of these examples of the current Russian approach is in sharp contrast with U.S. doctrine and procedures. I respectfully submit that they reveal real weaknesses in Russian military preparedness.”
ALL THE BEST PEOPLE TOLD ME THAT NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW: Indicting Barack — It Can Be Done And Here Is How. “What if the investigation into a criminal conspiracy surrounding the Russia Collusion Hoax was not about the hoax itself, but instead looks at the ongoing effort to mislead or otherwise obstruct Congress from finding out how the Hoax itself came about, and interfere with congressional investigations into the conduct and the motives of the various actors involved?”
What if, indeed?
WELL, YOU KNOW THEY’RE GOING TO PICK ABORTION, RIGHT? New Yorkers’ Choice: Fight About Abortion or Fight for the State’s Future.
Or at least their political class will, since saving the state will involve things that will cut into their power and graft.
