Sane risk management, rather than woke policies, would have prevented this bailout, Diana Furchtgott-Roth writes. Starting today, the nation’s capital joins 15 other municipalities in allowing noncitizens to vote, Fred Lucas reports. Plus: a federal court orders Team Biden to stop turning a blind eye to illegal aliens; the overdue campaign to break the drug cartels; and a journalist confesses to drinking the media Kool-Aid on the Capitol riot. On this date in 1964, a jury finds nightclub owner Jack Ruby guilty of murdering Lee Harvey Oswald—accused assassin of President John F. Kennedy—and sentences him to death.
