ASKING THE IMPORTANT QUESTIONS: Kurt Schlichter: Why Are Male-Identifying Democrat Candidates All Creepy Weirdos? If you ever wanted irrefutable evidence of Democrats’ hate for white men, all you’d have to do is point to the rogues’ gallery of weirdos, losers, and mutations they’ve nominated over the last few election cycles. It’s like they don’t actually know any normal white dudes, because the people they pick in a baffling attempt to recapture this large and crucial group of voters—who have almost completely rejected the Democrats—are simply bizarre. How did they ever get the impression that these freakish nominees would somehow make normal white guys go, ‘Yeah, I identify with him. I’ll vote for him. Now, it’s off to the Porta-Potty with some champagne and a dozen roses.’”

“MEDICAL CARE.”

The Cleveland Clinic settled with the State of Ohio and USDOJ Friday after an investigation revealed they mis-coded Medicaid billing to disguise transgender procedures on minors.

They agreed to halt of procedures for 20 years, and funding $2 million and transitioning care.

THE LEFT DOESN’T REALLY “GO” NUTS. THE LEFT IS NUTS.

French decide to have banquets celebrating local culture, food, and Frenchness and Left goes nuts.

They don't want the French to be French, Romanians to be Romanians, or Austrians to be Austrians.

There are moments where these ladies can’t hide why they got into journalism: a seething rage that is occasionally triggered by someone like Trump. Pelley has it too, you can see it in his quivering jaw that he juts out bizarrely. https://t.co/HMPzGni8DO

DON SURBER: Trump ignores RNC, gets half the Hispanic vote: Democrats are peeing their pants over losing 40-point majorities among Hispanics.

“The latest Economist/YouGov survey from May 22-26 shows just 39% of Hispanics plan to support a Democrat for Congress. That is over a twenty-point decline for Democrats in four short years and a thirty-point decline in eight years.”

RICHARD FERNANDEZ: The Blockade of Hormuz Revisited.. “The economic damage that the U.S. blockade has caused can well be imagined. In April 2026, Iran exported 29.7 million barrels by sea. After a month of blockade, exports plunged to 2.01 million barrels (a 93% drop). As a recent article put it, ‘Trump’s Blockade Is Zeroing Out Iran’s Oil Exports.'”

IT’S BECAUSE THEY’RE CHEATING. DUH. “Why Can’t California Count?”

THIS IS WHAT THEY MEAN BY “OUR DEMOCRACY:”

One thing is for sure. When Democrats are counting votes, crazy, statistically impossible things are possible.

Joe Biden can lose 18 out of 19 bellwether counties. He can lose Iowa, Ohio, and Florida. He can lose massive House seats and still get the most votes in presidential…
