Democrats blame Trump, MAGA for illegal alien attack on Pelosi
Miranda Devine: Joe Biden lost no time blaming ultra-mega-semi-fascist-MAGA Donald Trump supporters for the strange attack on Paul Pelosi in his San Francisco home early Friday. Barack Obama did the same, using a rally in Michigan for failed Gov. Gretchen Whitmer to rail against “politicians who work to stir up division to try to make us angry and afraid of one another for their own advantage.” So did Hillary Clinton, who tweeted: “The Republican Party and its mouthpieces now regularly spread hate and deranged conspiracy theories.

Democrat wokeness degrading US military
Sen. Tom Cotton: America’s military is the finest fighting force in the world, but its strength isn’t inevitable and can’t be taken for granted. It’s an inheritance from past generations of patriots, who created its culture and traditions on the battlefields at great cost. Maintaining this inheritance takes sweat, money, and above all respect for our forefathers and our country. Sadly, there is ample reason to believe our military’s traditions and combat effectiveness are declining, thanks in part to Democrats’ woke obsessions, which put divisive identity politics before cohesio... read more
