Good morning from Washington, where President Biden used his State of the Union speech to tell Americans to ignore their lyin’ eyes. Victor Davis Hanson elaborates. The Daily Signal formally requests information on why the FBI went after traditional Catholics as “radical,” Tyler O’Neil reports. A pro-life father returns to the scene of his supposed “crime” to pray, Mary Margaret Olohan writes. Plus: the Air and Space Museum apparently has no space for students who oppose abortion; Arkansas says adios to the term Latinx; and Americans hope for a Super Bowl break from politics. On this date in 1878,  the Boston Bicycle Club forms as the first organization for recreational cyclists, as middle class interest in biking grows.  Enjoy your weekend.
