CNN’s Anderson Cooper’s mockery of White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham ([link removed]) was snide and condescending. Anderson’s ridicule of Grisham is in the tradition of the mainstream media’s inevitable verbal attacks on conservative women.

** Meet Debbie Brown: She Amplifies the Message. ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
"When I have economic freedom ([link removed]) , I have the ability to grow my business, support myself and my children as a single mom. I have the freedom to care for my parents. I have the freedom to make decisions for myself. And to me that’s appealing."

Supporters of judicial activism think that unelected judicial elites should make decisions for everyday Americans. ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
Some activists want courts to make the law or to change laws ([link removed]) they don't like. But that job belongs to the elected representatives of the people. If people think laws should change, they can elect representatives who promise reform. The role of the courts is to interpret and apply the law as written, not respond to political pressure.

** Governor Newsom Loses the ACLU on His Latest Red Flag Scheme ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
California Governor Gavin Newsom signed a bill that would expand the types of people who can request a so-called Red Flag Restraining Order, an order that temporarily takes guns away from gun owners due to reports that they pose a risk. Even the usually left-leaning ACLU opposes California’s enhanced ERPO law, since it “poses a significant threat to civil liberties.”

** Elizabeth Warren Keeps Dodging How She’ll Pay for Medicare-for-All ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
Senator Elizabeth Warren was asked half a dozen times whether she would raise taxes on middle-class Americans to pay for Medicare-for-All. She. Dodged. It. Every. Time. Warren needs to be honest and tell Americans that under her leadership, her answer to improving health care would be higher taxes and delayed care.
