As it turned out, this was not a...

Morgan Wallen will miss the upcoming Country Music Association (CMA) Awards on November 10 despite being one of the top performing artists of 2021. The CMA barred Wallen from the event over the release of a video earlier this year, which showed Wallen calling a friend a racial slur after a late night of heavy drinking in Nashville. The CMA has also banned Wallen from winning any individual awards, though it allowed him to compete for awards honoring his work to avoid punishing any of Wallen’s collaborators.

The summer was a rough one for President Biden. Another pandemic surge prompted Mr. Biden, a veteran moderate, to attack Republican governors and embrace vaccine mandates. A bipartisan infrastructure deal hung in the balance. The American withdrawal from Afghanistan, during which 13 service members were killed in a terrorist attack, was criticized as violent and haphazard.

I wouldn’t be a good...
