NEWSMAX — Tudor Dixon hasn't had much time to revel in Monday's GOP primary victory for Michigan's gubernatorial election, beating her three Republican challengers by at least 19 percentage points and 199,000-plus votes. The reason for the restrained jubilation following the decisive triumph: Dixon is too focused on defeating Gov. Gretchen Whitmer in the general election, and she knows that every second counts in the electoral run-up to November.... (more)

BOB UNRUH — U.S. Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., long has blasted her own party's most recent president: Donald Trump. She criticized him for his beliefs, his comments, and his actions. She even voted to remove him from office on what were the thinnest of allegations, so thin the House didn't even document any "evidence" of anything he'd done. And she's made herself indispensable to Democrats by being the No. 2 person on Nancy Pelosi's partisan congressional committee set up to "investigate" the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the Capitol....

REV. MARK H. CREECH — Not long ago, I finished reading through the entire Bible again. Of course, I finished in the book of Revelation. The experience of reading “The Revelation of Jesus Christ,” as it is referenced in the first verse of the first chapter, was so remarkably moving I decided to park there a while and examine it more carefully. Moreover, I thought it might be beneficial to share with others some of what I gleaned.... (more)

STONE WASHINGTON — “It is time to heed the Constitution and return the issue of abortion to the people’s elected representatives. ‘The permissibility of abortion, and the limitations upon it, are to be resolved like most important questions in our democracy: by citizens trying to persuade one another and then voting.’” ~Justice Samuel Alito, citing the late Justice Antonin Scalia, in writing the majority opinion of Dobbs v. Jackson.... (more)

Wade, Associate Justice Samuel Alito got in a dig at some of the foreign leaders who criticized the historic opinion he authored.

THE FEDERALIST — Two days after the Associated Press wrote off Rep. Liz Cheney as “nowhere” to be found at Cheyenne’s midsummer cowboy festival, the lone congresswoman from Wyoming flipped pancakes for a brief appearance before returning to work on the Jan. 6 Committee. The pancake breakfast held on every other day of the festivities has been a staple of Cheyenne’s Frontier Days celebration since 1986 when the Kiwanis Club adopted the tradition after an historic flood the year prior. For more than three decades after, volunteers with the Kiwanis Club often joined by members of the Boy Scouts and the Air Force have served thousands of pancakes within a short span of two hours....

YOUTUBE — With the 2022 midterm election only 100 days away, voters might want to revisit the malicious, outrageously effective smear of President Trump broadcast Oct. 3, 2020, in an SNL skit that single-handedly exalted wimpy Joe Biden as a political superstar and depicted Trump as a deranged fool—much as the media has done repeatedly for years....

TUCKER CARLSON — On Tucker Carlson Tonight: With new economic numbers showing America's GDP has declined two quarters in a row—the technical definition of a recession—Joe Biden’s handlers led him to the podium Thursday to say something about the economy. In what Tucker said “has got to be one of the weirdest presidential briefings ever," Biden simply announced that there is no recession in the United States, no matter what you may have noticed. More on Tucker's response.... (more)

JERRY NEWCOMBE — Tragically, slavery has been around from the beginning of time. It is still practiced even today in some places where Christianity is not dominant or has not been dominant. But while slavery was a fact of life in the 1700’s—not only in colonial America, but all over the world—it was the system put in place by America’s founding fathers that eventually led to its dissolution....

JOSEPH FARAH — I wonder who gave Joe Biden this idea. It's how to steal the next election. You think he's just so unpopular it can't be done? Think again. Nobody noticed that last year Biden issued Executive Order 14019, "Promoting Access to Voting." It directed every federal agency, agencies that are staffed through partisan appointments, to create a plan to register and mobilize voters. It also orders these agencies to work with organizations such as activist groups to register and mobilize voters in whatever manner they see fit. In doing so, the Biden administration has politicized election processes that were uniquely guarded as nonpartisan since the ratification of the Constitution in 1788.... (more)

PJ MEDIA — We all know that “white supremacists,” also known as “domestic violent extremists,” are the biggest terror threat the nation faces today; after all, Old Joe Biden, Gestapo chief Merrick Garland, and the FBI have told us so, and they wouldn’t lie to us, now, would they? In November 2021, FBI and Homeland Security Department officials increased investigations of “domestic extremists,” reiterating the claim that they are today’s foremost terror threat. The only thing lacking in this scenario has been actual white supremacist terrorists in any significant numbers.... (more)

ART MOORE — Declaring to the nation Wednesday from the Rose Garden at the White House that he's "feeling great" after a bout with COVID-19, President Biden made a series of statements that are not backed by the current science, including suggesting that people wear a mask indoors.
