December 14 2021
Good morning from Washington, where the Justice Department seems oddly unconcerned about the black lives being snuffed out in American cities. Rogue prosecutors and Black Lives Matter activists just don’t care, Mike Gonzalez writes. What’s going on in the criminal trial of Jeffrey Epstein’s right-hand woman? Our Christian Mysliwiec asks a former prosecutor. Plus: Rep. Bryan Steil on what Democrats’ spending spree could mean for taxpayers; tornadoes and climate change; the problem with cross-sex hormones; and “Problematic Women” gleans wisdom from The Heritage Foundation’s first female president. On this date in 1911, Norwegian Roald Amundsen becomes the first explorer to reach the South Pole, beating British rival Robert Falcon Scott.
Heritage Foundation’s Zack Smith, a former assistant U.S. attorney in the Northern District of Florida, explains the the details and nuance of this disturbing case.
Just as news outlets reported record rises in murders in 12 cities, Black Lives Matter released a statement doubling down on its call for “the abolition” of police, prisons, and the court system.
Kay C. James, who lived with five siblings in housing projects, says her life “is a model for what can happen in this country with opportunity and seizing the day.”
“Our spending is already out of control,” says Steil, R-Wis., adding that “new government spending is only going to exacerbate [inflation] and make it worse.”
A dirty little secret withheld from people who seek help for gender distress is that cross-sex hormones are anabolic steroids and addictive in the same way as daily consumption of alcohol.
Many school districts embrace “woke math” for K-12 students, lowering standards and focusing on attacking “white supremacy” and “paternalism” while denying objectivity.
