NOPE: Did the Texas Senate Really Just Defend the Ku Klux Klan?

BRIAN DUNN: Woke Lips Sink Ships. “Victory in the Cold War was sudden. And in the aftermath, the Navy surface warfare elements forgot that their core task is to control the seas and not merely exploit control of the seas.”

EMPOWERING OUR DESTROYERS: Did Biden pull anti-missile systems from Middle East as a concession to Iran? “Without much fanfare, the United States pulled a number of anti-missile systems from several Middle East countries over the past month. The decision barely caused a ripple in news, but some members of Congress certainly noticed. The Patriot anti-missile systems were pulled from locations in Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Iraq, and Kuwait. They were all systems installed during the Trump administration, intended to act as a deterrent to Iran and defend our allies in the region.”

HMM: California Recall Update: Larry Elder Comes Out Swinging, ‘We Will See Them in Court.’ “While Elder says he doesn’t think he was left off the ballot for a technicality due to nefarious actions, he does believe the Left is afraid of his candidacy and how well he connects with minority voters.”

MISTER, WE COULD USE A MAN LIKE JAIME ESCALANTE AGAIN: ‘Social justice’ math stalls in California. “California’s new Mathematics Curriculum Framework has become a political hot potato, reports Lawrence Richard on Yahoo News. The state education board will postpone a decision on implementation for 10 months in response to critics who charged it would ‘de-mathematize math’ and prevent high achievers from taking advanced classes.”

Matt Margolis: If Democrats Trust the 2020 Results, They Should Support the Forensic Audits. “Democrats hardly have the high ground when it comes to accepting election results.”

Bryan Preston: Biden’s Cuban Refugee Policy Is Brutal and Inhumane.

Yours Truly: The White House Is Panicked Over Inflation (Even Though YOU Have the Most to Lose). “If Hartnett’s numbers are correct (and they are), not only is Washington spending at an unprecedented rate, they’re printing that way, too. Nearly 39¢ of every dollar is magical Fed money.”

EVERGREEN: To the DC elite, only some black lives matter. “It’s why the Nats shooting became national news while the murder of 6-year-old Nyiah Courtney, who was shot alongside five other adults in the Anacostia neighborhood of Congress Heights on Friday, went all but ignored by the national media. It’s why Mayor Muriel Bowser addressed the Nats shooting within 24 hours, but she ignored the murder of Mohammad Anwar, a Pakistani immigrant who was killed by two teenage girls in a carjacking in broad daylight just outside of Nationals Park, just not during a game.”

KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEF: Good News—Megyn Kelly Is Kinda Fun Again. “Ms. Kelly went on to bigger and more biased things at NBC for a while and we know how that worked out. She’s been busy since then counting her buyout money — there was a lot of it — and we haven’t seen as much of her as I personally would like. It looks like Smackdown Megyn is back.”

LOCKDOWN FALLOUT: Colorado fatal drug overdoses up 37.5% last year.

FIVE-ALARM LIAR: Biden’s Response to the Ominous Specter of Inflation Should Set Off More Alarm Bells. “Essentially, Biden said that Americans don’t have to worry about inflation caused by an explosive growth in debt financed by central banks because… he’s going to expand America’s debt through more financing! Don’t worry, the social programs will pay for themselves and fix the problems they create, or something.”
