As always, Glenn Reynolds captures a key point while linking to a story about three Connecticut girls who have filed a complaint after having two biological males dominating their sport: I’ll bet they supported Biden in 2020 though. By “they,” Reynolds means the three girls, whom odds would place as reflexive Democrats and who are…
This is a couple months old, but with continued pressure for booster shots, it continues to be on my mind: … the recommendations — even those approved unanimously — mask significant dissent and disquiet among those advisers about the need for booster shots in the United States. In interviews last week, several advisers to the…
Rick Moran asks that dangerous question: So what happened to these older, primitive societies — the Clovis people and others who were clearly present in North and Central America before modern Native Americans? They no doubt had what they considered “their land” to hunt and forage. Who stole it from them and wiped them out?…
