BARONE: Different Groups That 'Don't Look Like America' Produce Success Together in America

News stories have reported that – despite the Supreme Court's recent decision in the cases against Harvard and the University of North Carolina – those and other selective schools still want to employ racial quotas and preferences in admissions. Selective schools say they want student bodies that "look like America." But, whether you like it or not...

HANSON: Here's 10 Reasons Why Affirmative Action Died

No one, of course – in today's race-obsessed culture – has ever objected to the fact that white males died at twice their demographic rate during the wars in Afghanistan & Iraq. That, and numerous other such measures, have always been the hallmark of American Value in our nation's tribally-blind standards that once led the U.S. to outshine the world by discarding old class-race prejudices.

THOMAS: The Subject Is No longer on the Fringes... Get Tested, Joe

Axios reported this week that "President Biden – behind closed doors – has a temper that sees him yelling at staff and shouting obscenities. In fact, his temper's so bad that some staff try to avoid meeting alone with him." According to website Dementia Care Central, "One common complaint & concern frequently expressed by loved ones of a dementia patient is the use of swear words, foul language."

McCAUGHEY: Biden Trashes the U.S. Constitution (Again,) in Effort to Try and Muzzle Critics

Joe Biden is the defendant in a lawsuit accused of what Federal District Court Judge Terry Doughty calls "the most massive attack against free speech in United States history" – yet the appeal Biden filed Monday is devoid of even one winning argument in his defense. Count on it to go nowhere. Biden's been caught red-handed violating the Constitution, and Judge Doughty was confirmed 98-0 by U.S. Senate.

THOMAS: Vice President Harris' Unique & Unknown Language

Though Joe Biden's poll numbers are currently not much better than Vice President Kamala Harris', the latest Los Angeles Times Poll finds that "41% of Registered Voters had a favorable opinion of Harris, and 53% had an unfavorable opinion – a net rating of -12%." One has to wonder what those 41% see as Harris' accomplishments, because there have been none as far as I can tell.

SCHLICHTER: Senate Races Set Up Dems for Some Delicious Agony

Love him or hate him, no discussion of the Senate GOP is complete without talking about Mitch McConnell. He's been the dominant force in the Senate for years now… and yet we barely hear anything from him lately. It's no surprise that Senate races are getting short-shrift compared to the Presidential & U.S. House races this year, but don’t overlook them – in fact, look the hell out for them.

STAR PARKER: The Supreme Court's Decisions Bring 'A New Birth of Freedom'

The series of decisions handed down by the U.S. Supreme Court in its latest session are so consequential that I would call it "A New Birth of Freedom." These are, of course, the words of Abraham Lincoln at the bloody battlefield at Gettysburg. And, there's a deep and meaningful connection between President Lincoln's words then, in 1863, and the words of our Supreme Court now in 2023.

HANSON: Here Are the Real 'Existential Threats' by the Bidens to American Rule of Law

Millions of Americans might shrug and say, "If Joe Biden, President of the United States, and his criminally minded son can get away with avoiding millions of dollars in taxes, why shouldn't I at least have the right to avoid hundreds of dollars in taxes?" The Bidens, along with Attorney General Merrick Garland, are imperiling a hallowed American tradition – self-reported income tax computation and voluntary compliance.

McCAUGHEY: All Racism is Evil, the Supreme Court Finally Rules

Contrary to what most Americans assume, affirmative action has never helped poor kids. In fact Harvard favors wealthy kids – only 3% of the Student Body there comes from low-income families. A staggering 67% come from families in the top fifth of the nation's earners. Nearly 75% of Harvard's Black & Hispanic Students come from high-earning families. The real opportunity gap is between rich and poor.

HAMMER: Supreme Court Ends the Last Vestige of 'Systemic Racism' in America

"I hold out enduring hope that this country will live up to its principles so clearly enunciated in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States: that all men are created equal, are equal citizens, and must be treated equally before the law," said Justice Clarence Thomas. ​​​​​​​The last trace of genuine, government-legitimized "systemic racism" in America is no more. Good riddance.

Pride vs. Shame

After Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) was recently censured by the Republican House for promoting the Russia collusion fiction in the 2020 election, Democrats chanted "shame, shame, shame." It's nice to know they have some standards besides the double standards they usually display.

YORK: One Thing Republicans Do Agree On

On June 8th former president Trump's lead over top challenger Gov. Ron DeSantis was 30.3% in the RealClearPolitics average of National Polls. Today Trump's lead over DeSantis is 30.6%. A federal indictment, on top of a local prosecutor's indictment in New York City, seems not to have affected Trump's national poll numbers at all.

Stop Being Stupid, Republicans

In the rush to “own the libs,” many people are making whatever issues they claim they’re trying to address much worse than they otherwise would be. Proving, once again, how the biggest obstacle conservatives face is their own inability to not step on rakes.

As Biden Falters: NBC, Harvard-Harris, Rasmussen Polls Say Trump Looks Even Better

When one of Donald Trump's rivals for the 2024 GOP nomination (Chris Christie) criticized him, he was loudly booed. When North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson endorsed him, the crowd rose to its feet in support. Americans understand President Trump's been targeted from the beginning – and Americans remember he achieved energy independence, a secure border, and a strong economy. Under Joe Biden, the world's in chaos.

CHAIRMAN MURR: Paxton’s Defenders Should Welcome a Senate Trial

When the Texas House of Representatives cast an overwhelming 121-23 vote to impeach Attorney General Ken Paxton, we fully understood the gravity of his flagrant abuses of office – and of the public's trust. House members fulfilled our constitutional responsibility & adhered to our oaths of office. Now the Texas Senate has the opportunity to exercise theirs.

The Dangerous Trump Indictment

Clinton, it should be remembered, held tens of thousands of emails on a private server, dozens of which were classified; James Comey, then head of the FBI, admitted that there was a good shot that foreign sources could have accessed that server; the emails themselves were then destroyed by Clinton's team, and her hard drive cleansed; nonetheless, months later, copies of those emails showed up on the laptop of moral derelict Anthony Weiner.

Indict Walt Nauta? Why Not the Biggest Liars First?

Walt Nauta is a 10-year veteran of the Navy and served as an aide to former President Donald Trump both in and out of office. . . Special Counsel Jack Smith has now indicted him for allegedly "making false statements in interviews with the FBI." The indictment's subtext is that Nauta refused to cooperate with and turn the state's evidence to the special counsel in its efforts to convict Trump.

McCAUGHEY: Obeying the Constitution Is Not Optional, Yet Dems Are Trashing It

Is this even America? The law being challenged is exactly what you'd find in George Orwell's "1984" – a novel depicting socialist despotism. The government dictates the price for your product, but calls it a "negotiation." If you refuse, your business is taxed to death overnight and you are gagged from disclosing what is happening, and forced to declare the price "fair."

While Democrats Abuse Trump, Why are Republicans Protecting Biden?

With mounting evidence now having been revealed to Members of Congress, a growing number of legislators say there's enough reason to initiate impeachment hearings against President Joe Biden. And Cong. Marjorie Taylor Greene says she's “dumbfounded” that more Republicans aren't joining her in supporting Biden’s impeachment. In fact, a Special Counsel even been named to investigate.

Do Social Media Apps Pose a Threat, or Does Government Overreach?

While it's true that the Texas Legislature put forth a TikTok ban on state-owned devises, they refused to ban the controversial social media app outright. Scores of small businesses in Texas rely on TikTok for their marketing, including Tevin Hamilton, the owner of Hamilton’s Woodworks. Tevin is an African-American Veteran who says, “TikTok has been a blessing to market and grow my business.”
