I’ve said it many times before, but nearly every week some leftist makes me say it again: when it comes to stupid or crazy, there is no “bottom” for the left to hit. Honestly, they keep getting crazier in all the old ways while finding new and creatives ways to bring insanity to the world. The sad thing is, while we all laugh at each of these new insanities, eventually they become some semblance of normal. Ultimately, the joke is on us.
The latest example is something called “birthing persons,” or “black birthing persons” if you’re one of the racist Democrats who make everything about skin color in the name of “equity.” At a hearing last week, racist Representative Cori Bush used the phrase in her opening statement. The video went viral immediately because it was so damn stupid.
President
Joe Biden’s nominee to lead the Justice Department’s Civil Rights division told senators in a letter that she regretted the “tone” she took when she attacked two of their colleagues on social media.
“In retrospect, I regret the tone I occasionally took,”
Kristen Clarke wrote in the April missive to Sen.
Chuck Grassley (R-IA), the ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Committee. The letter was first obtained by
The Washington Free Beacon.
Clarke, who is presently in her fourth month of seeking the Senate’s approval for her nomination, was speaking in reference to her criticism of Democratic Sen.
To be a conservative at this moment should give you an immense feeling of pride.
Looking back at 2020, it is stunning to see how many of The Heritage Foundation’s ideas were embraced by members of Congress, by the administration, and by allied think tanks and grassroots leaders across America and around the world.
Conservative solutions have proven across time and place to be the only way to ensure the survival of our nation and see us through challenging events like the ones we faced in 2020.
Think about the COVID-19 pandemic. Americans are faring better in states where policymakers have followed Heritage’s recommendations and not imposed sweeping COVID-19 lockdowns, but rather used data to determine whether and where such rash measures are even necessary.
OP-ED: Supreme Court’s ethics problems are bigger than Coney Barrett

A lot of hand-wringing has accompanied Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett’s $2 million book deal (including from those of us who wish we had a $2 million book deal). While there’s always reason to worry when big piles of money land on the court, and Coney Barrett has wasted little time monetizing her new job, some larger points are getting lost in all of this.
After all, Coney Barrett isn’t the first justice to reel in a big book deal. Justice Sonia Sotomayor collected an advance of more than $3 million for her memoir, and Justice Clarence Thomas got $1.5 million for his. Justice Neil Gorsuch was paid $225,000 for a book about the Constitution.
