THE FEDERALIST — If the last two election cycles have proven anything, it’s that Democrats hold an undeniable double standard when it comes to objecting to elections. The radically different treatment Republicans receive when contesting poorly administered elections intensified this week when Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel charged 16 Republican electors in her state for participating in what she deemed a “false electors scheme.” Defendants, all 55 years or older, each face eight various conspiracy and forgery felony counts that carry a sentence of five to 14 years in prison each....

SLATE — Question: Can I level with you? I’m not always sure I know what people are talking about when they say algorithm?

THE FEDERALIST — Gary Shapley, a veteran agent with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), told House lawmakers Wednesday that the Justice Department slow-walked criminal proceedings into Hunter Biden to allow the statute of limitations to expire. Shapley testified as one of two IRS whistleblowers on Capitol Hill alleging widespread interference in their criminal tax investigation of the Biden family. The second whistleblower revealed his identity at the Wednesday hearing as Joseph Ziegler, a gay Democrat with over a decade of tenure at the federal tax agency. Both served lead roles in the Biden investigation and said their efforts were hampered by officials at the Department of Justice (DOJ).... (more)

THE FEDERALIST — J. Robert Oppenheimer, “the father of the atomic bomb,” has long been a darling of the left, and not because he oversaw the creation of the most devastating weapon ever used. No, for them Oppenheimer is the tortured conscience of the Cold War and the martyred saint of McCarthyism. Kai Bird, co-author of the excellent biography on which Christopher Nolan’s film “Oppenheimer” is based, has penned a column in The New York Times lamenting the tragic life of the physicist, who lost security clearance in 1953. Oppenheimer was, writes Bird, “destroyed by a political movement characterized by rank know-nothing, anti-intellectual, xenophobic demagogues, [and] the witch-hunters of that season are the direct ancestors of our current political actors of a certain paranoid style.” The main culprit in this ugly tale, according to the author, is Roy Cohn, Joe McCarthy’s chief counsel, “who taught former President Donald Trump his brash, wholly deranged style of politics.”...

NY POST EDITORIAL BOARD — “Donald Trump promises a post-democratic second term,” the Washington Post blared Monday, arguing that Trump already showed contempt for “rules” when in office, and “acted as though they didn’t exist.” Boy, if you think that’s a story, have we got a scoop for you!...

TAX POLICY CENTER — In February 2020, an Idaho lawmaker called the property tax “inherently evil” and suggested the state repeal it and replace the foregone revenue with a higher sales tax. He described the property tax in feudal terms, saying it “dates back to the dark ages or the middle ages when the lords of the manor had to pay taxes to the Kings and the Queens – otherwise they didn't get to keep their land.”...

FOX NEWS — Is Maureen Dowd a slow learner – only now discovering Joe Biden is not who he pretends to be – or has the liberal media suddenly been given a green light to criticize the president? Are Democrat leaders conspiring to push him out as scandal envelopes the White House and the president’s approval ratings drop to levels not seen since Jimmy Carter? New York Times columnist Dowd caused something of a commotion over the weekend by criticizing Joe Biden, a rare event for the Left-leaning press.... (more)

In a nearly party line vote, the House decided 221 to 213 on an amendment prohibiting the Department of Defense (DOD) from reimbursing servicemembers for travel expenses incurred when seeking abortions and a handful of other reproductive procedures out-of-state, records show. Lawmakers also tackled DOD funding of transgender treatments in a package designed to maintain GOP unity and allow the yearly defense policy bill to move forward on the House floor, the New York Times reported....

JERRY NEWCOMBE — A British cleric created a stir recently by accusing Jesus of teaching something wrong. Jesus told us that when we pray, we should say, “Our Father….” But the Archbishop of York told his fellow clergymen: “I know the word ‘father’ is problematic for those whose experience of earthly fathers has been destructive and abusive, and for all of us who have laboured rather too much from an oppressively patriarchal grip on life.”...

TOWNHALL — President Joe Biden's Department of Justice quietly removed significant portions regarding child sex trafficking from its website as officials warn the violent sex crime is getting out of control in the U.S. Vital information on "International Sex Trafficking of Minors," "Domestic Sex Trafficking of Minors," and "Child Victims of Prostitution" have all been taken down, as well as a section warning that sex trafficking can involve "the cross border transportation of children."...

DAVID HARSANYI — The left likes to treat skeptics of electrical cars as if they were Luddites. Truth is, making an existing product less efficient but more expensive doesn't really meet the definition of innovation. Even the purported amenities and technological advances EV makers like to brag about in their ads have been a regular feature of gas-powered vehicles going back generations. At best, EVs, if they fulfill their promise, are a lateral technology.... (more)

PETER LABARBERA — A powerful new Twitter video put out by Senate Republicans blames the Biden administration for 85,000 missing illegal migrant children and, in effect, creating "the largest child-trafficking ring in U.S. history." The short video contains several Capitol Hill remarks from Republican Senators connecting Biden to the hordes of missing children who are unaccounted for despite being placed with American sponsors. Above the video it states: "Over 85,000. That's how many children are missing under Joe Biden. He has created the largest child trafficking ring in U.S. history."... (more)

MICHAEL BRESCIANI — This author has reviewed 15 movies over the last twenty years. I was sure that I would be reviewing “Sound of Freedom” only minutes after viewing it in our local theater. It was the first time in my life I have ever seen a movie theater completely sold out. Not a single seat was empty, and no one dared to speak or make a sound. They were transfixed by the horror, and the sheer inhumanity displayed by a pack of perverts with the morality of a nest of cockroaches.... (more)
