Biden rejected school safety measures without a plan <[link removed]> - Twenty-one people died in Robb Elementary School. President Joe Biden’s response to the mass murder has been unsatisfying, even ambiguous at times. If he has viable solutions that do not expand the federal footprint in schools, he should articulate them. And he needs to explain why they would be better than ideas offered by local school leaders and law enforcement — ideas his administration has already rejected.

Recall of Chesa Boudin in San Francisco Shows Rogue Prosecutor Movement for Failure It Is <[link removed]> - Chesa Boudin, the rogue prosecutor of San Francisco, was recalled from office Tuesday by voters who were disgusted by his feckless leadership and pro-criminal, anti-victim policies. The recall was organized and funded primarily by liberal Democrats who were fed up with Boudin and his hands-off approach to enforcing the law. Boudin’s recall is significant not just for the voters in the City by the Bay, but nationally, as it is the clearest signal yet that the rogue prosecutor movement, as we have been saying, is a colossal failure.

Biden Administration Using Homeland Security to Drive Narrative <[link removed]> –  Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas issued the sixth National Terrorism Advisory System Bulletin <[link removed]> of the 17-month-old Biden administration on June 7. With a new bulletin every three months, Americans should ask: are the threats facing America changing that rapidly, or is the administration using the bulletin as a tool for some other purpose? Timing is everything in life and especially in Washington, D.C. To help answer this question about why so many Biden administration advisory bulletins coming out of the Department of Homeland Security, one need only look at what else has been happening the past few weeks as we begin the summer, when the left needs voters energized to vote in the November midterms.

Follow South Korea’s Lead: How America Can Push Back On North Korea <[link removed]> - Kim Jong-un is at it again. On June 5, the Supreme Leader of North Korea launched eight short-range ballistic missiles from four locations. The response may have been something he did not expect—and there might be a lesson here, not just for Kim, but for the rest of the world as well. Heritage Expert: James Carafano <[link removed]>
 
A U.S. Embassy Should Fly Only One Flag <[link removed]> - Granting ambassadors the leeway to
fly flags according to their individual ideological bent or local sentiments does not present a united policy front abroad. Rather, it will send confused and uncoordinated messages to our allies as well as our enemies. The Biden administration and Secretary of State Blinken should direct that, henceforth, only the Stars and Stripes fly over our foreign missions. Heritage Expert: Simon Hankinson <[link removed]>
“Ethics and Recusal Reform” Is the Spin; Politicizing the Courts Is the Plan <[link removed]> -  Judicial independence is more important—and the explicit and subtle threats to it are more troubling—than ever before. Undermining judicial independence would disable a key feature of the U.S. system of government that is vital to its purpose of securing inalienable rights. Leaking draft opinions, court-packing, threatening the Supreme Court, attempting to demonize or intimidate individual Justices, and other strategies reject, and may permanently destroy, what the Founders knew was “peculiarly essential” to this system of government that has provided unparalleled liberty.

The Washington Post Is a Model for Media Malfeasance <[link removed]> - The Washington Post is a parody of its former self. Gone are the days of holding truth to power, of Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein and Watergate. Its “Democracy Dies in Darkness” slogan plastered at the top of every page reads more like a joke than a serious endorsement of its journalism. Much like the lion’s share of corporate media outlets, the Post has become a shill for leftist ideology. Heritage Expert: Douglas Blair <[link removed]>
