Biden Touts Women’s Sports After Title IX Debacle – HotAir

President Biden supports women’s sports except when it comes to flipping Title IX.  The Biden White House welcomed the Las Vegas Aces on Thursday at the White House. They are the WNBA 2023 champions.

Just Stop Oil Tries to Destroy Magna Carta – HotAir

Older than Joe Biden and perhaps more brain-dead, too. Two Just Stop Oil idiots took a hammer and chisel (it should have been a Hammer and Sickle!) to the protective glass case in which the Magna Carta was displayed.  The attack took place at the British Library.  https://t.co/HaQ4puvHlB — Just Stop Oil (@JustStop_Oil) May 10, […]

(In February, Foreign Policy Magazine revealed that China’s inflation-adjusted military […]

Will We Never Learn? – HotAir

While it is true that what is good for the goose is good for the gander, some things are good for neither.  A case in point is the new conservative attempt to use the power of government to punish the speech of people we find intolerably offensive. I wrote not too long ago about a […]
