Stacey Abrams? The same Stacey Abrams who’s been telling voters in Georgia ahead of her next run for governor in 2022 that she’s against boycotts for fear of the economic damage they’ll do to lower-income workers? She couldn’t be saying one thing to the public and another to business leaders behind closed doors, could she?

Welcome to Stephen Breyer’s TED Talk — or at least the Supreme Court justice’s very deliberate effort to school his fellow liberals. Breyer offered an ominous warning to Democrats plotting to “reform” the court, telling Harvard Law students that they should think “long and hard” before making any changes to the institution. Court-packing à la FDR

A little palate cleanser of a story at the end of a long day. On Monday Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers began a two-week stint as guest host on Jeopardy!. A little fun was had at his expense during the Final round question. The two-day returning champ, Scott Shewfelt, took a not-subtle-at-all jab at

Texas Governor Greg Abbott signed an executive order banning all government-mandated vaccine passports in Texas. Abbott stated that it is an infringement on citizens’ rights to track those who have been vaccinated against COVID-19. “Every day, Texans are returning to normal life as more people get the safe and effective COVID-19 vaccine. But, as I’ve

Back when Donald Trump was in the Oval Office and still had his Twitter account, people found all sorts of reasons to try to sue him. One common complaint leading to a lawsuit involved the President’s practice of blocking some of his followers who tweeted critical or unpleasant things in his timeline. This was alleged

Senator John Barrasso, a Republican from Wyoming, was interviewed on Sunday Morning Futures and made an interesting statement about his recent visit to the U.S.-Mexico border. He said that a Biden administration official instructed the senators in the delegation led by Senators John Cornyn and Ted Cruz to delete their photos. None of the Republican

Today Reason published a piece by Jesse Singal about an English professor named Elisa Parrett. Parrett teaches at a public technical college outside of Seattle called the Lake Washington Institute of Technology. Last June 19, in the wake of the death of George Floyd, the school held an event called Courageous Conversations which was based

It looks like Great Britain is going to follow in the path of the United States, Israel and other nations that have begun dividing their societies into two classes of people based on their COVID immunity status. With the soccer championships coming up and plenty of Brits itching to get back out to music concerts

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution (AJC) issued a correction on a story that made some false claims about Georgia’s election law reform legislation. The newspaper made the mistake of printing Democrat talking points, specifically remarks made by President Biden, instead of the truth. AJC originally falsely reported that voting hours had been cut in the bill and

An update to last week’s post about case counts declining in the Lone Star state. Not only have cases continued to fall in Texas since then, the seven-day average is now the lowest it’s been since June 18, 2020 according to Worldometer. Yesterday the state was averaging just 3,263 daily confirmed infections. On March 10,

Is it time to cancel Ken Burns at PBS? It’s not easy being a white, male, cisgender filmmaker these days over at the taxpayer-funded public television network. Burns has achieved immense success for his documentaries made for PBS and has been generously rewarded for his work there. A group of nearly 140 filmmakers and other

May all of our readers have a happy and blessed Easter celebration today, as we begin to see light at the end of a tunnel that we started entering about this time last year. We would also like to wish our Jewish readers a belated Passover greeting, as this year both events take place close

Have you ever had one of those moments when it seems as if you’ve slipped through some sort of dimensional doorway into an alternate reality, as happened in some of the original episodes of the Twilight Zone? Reading some of the liberal editorials making the rounds these days can produce a similar effect. That’s what

Senator Ted Cruz and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez are at it again. The two lawmakers are battling on social media over the crisis on the border and immigration reform. AOC called for Cruz’s resignation and Cruz dropped a Rickroll tweet during their back and forth exchange. AOC was tweeting about “Ted Cruz types” taking tours of

Vermont Governor Phil Scott, a Republican, announced the decision to open up Covid-19 vaccination availability to everyone over the age of 16, except for white people. There is a prioritization of anyone who identifies as black, indigenous, or a person of color in Vermont. Governor Scott spread the word via a tweet. It seems like

Here’s another signpost up ahead from America’s Twilight Zone disaster on the southern border. The Washington Post reports that what used to be record daily numbers of successful evasions have now become commonplace: Nearly 1,000 people per day are sneaking into the United States without being identified or taken into custody because U.S. border agents

Montana Governor Gov. Greg Gianforte signed a bill banning sanctuary cities in the state. There aren’t any sanctuary cities in Montana but he wants to be proactive. He sends a message that “We are a nation of laws, and immigration laws will be enforced in Montana.” That is clear enough. At a time when a

If so, your wait is over tomorrow. On Good Friday, the independent film Roe v Wade will get a wide release in practically every on-line and cable platform. It tells the back story of the court case that became Roe v Wade from the pro-life perspective of Dr. Bernard Nathanson, who was one of the original pro-abortion activists

Today on The Ed Morrissey Show (4 pm ET), we have another great lineup for the news of the day! The show will be streamed on Hot Air’s Facebook page and embedded here and on the show page for those who are not on Facebook. Join us as we welcome: Duane “Generalissimo” Patterson brings us up

As Allahpundit pointed out earlier, both Matt Gaetz and his father Don have provided documentation that backs up their claims about working with the FBI to investigate what Gaetz is calling an extortion plot. But it’s not clear how the people who made the offer to Gaetz would have had any influence over the investigation

The CEO of Delta Airlines is now calling Georgia’s new voting law “unacceptable”. This is a 360-degree reversal of a statement released last Friday by the company, headquartered in Atlanta. That was then, this is now. There is no other way to look at a statement released today by Delta Airlines CEO Ed Bastian but

Overreach in haste, “splinter” at leisure? It’s been mighty quiet lately on the so-called For The People Act, the massive bill that would federalize election jurisdiction and end voter-ID requirements. Until now, Joe Manchin and the filibuster appeared to be the Democrats’ only obstacles, but the New York Times reports that other Senate Democrats might

Rep. Matt Gaetz, who is 38-years-old, is being investigated by the DOJ over a possible sexual relationship with a 17-year-old. According to the Times, this investigation began during the Trump administration: Investigators are examining whether Mr. Gaetz violated federal sex trafficking laws, the people said. A variety of federal statutes make it illegal to induce

One way to distribute Covid-19 vaccinations is for the vaccinations to go to the recipients instead of recipients going to vaccination locations. This line of thought is being presented as a way to ease what is often described as inequities in underserved communities to access vaccinations. This idea is being used by retailers in some

We’ve been hearing this sotto voce for a few weeks, and we’re also seeing it in data from areas with better delivery of inoculations too. However, CDC director Rochelle Walensky offered it as a conclusion last night in an interview with MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow, noting that this has been confirmed by “real-world data” as well

The debate over this issue is overblown. Once reopening begins in earnest this summer, most businesses won’t want to limit their clientele by demanding “vaccine passports.” They know, or soon will, that something like 20 percent of the public doesn’t want to be vaccinated. That’s a lot of customers to write off at a moment

This has been a long time coming. Ghislaine Maxwell, who allegedly served as Jeffrey Epstein’s massage scheduler and procurer of young girls, has been charged with sex trafficking of a 14-year-old. Ghislaine Maxwell, the longtime associate of Jeffrey Epstein, was charged on Monday for the first time with sex-trafficking of a minor, as federal prosecutors

Something fun to cleanse the palate on a slow news day. Meet Dan Rodimer, former pro wrestler, native New Jerseyan, and twice a failed candidate for elected office in Nevada. He lost those races because he had a bit of an image problem: Two 911 calls in 2018 by his then-girlfriend, now-wife, were made public

After a lengthy period of not doing anything terribly provocative, North Korea has “test-fired” at least three and possibly as many as five missiles in the past couple of weeks. Considering how often this used to happen before Donald Trump’s efforts a negotiating with dictator Kim Jong-un, most analysts who study activities on the Korean

Something seems really off about this Asian hate crime narrative being pushed regarding the Georgia spa killings. The facts don’t support the narrative. Cherokee County sheriff’s investigators said the accused shooter was addicted to sex and saw the spas as a temptation in need of elimination. Atlanta police said the man was a customer at
