Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey (R), heretofore known only for her stridently pro-gun stance, has caved to a gun control push that intends to ban Glock switches in Alabama, even though possession of the devices is already banned federally. The Associated Press quoted Ivey spokeswoman Gina Maiola saying, “Governor Ivey supports getting dangerous Glock switches out of the hands of gangs and criminals.

She expects the package to have bipartisan support.” Mike Blo0mberg-affiliated Everytown for Gun Safety cheered Ivey’s...

Anti-meat eaters are gonna have a cow. Fast foodies are just finding out that Wendy’s much-fabled “T-Rex” isn’t a mere myth but, instead, a hulking hot commodity on the restaurant’s top-secret menu. “Nine patties,” raved virtual chowhound @JoeOhEats before struggling to wrap his mouth around the dinosaur-esque sandwich. “Pure cow,” continued the Chicago-based content creator between messy bites of the greasy, goopy grub for more than 1.2 million TikTok viewers.

Mitt Romney is an intelligent man who sometimes seems eager to find bushel baskets under which to hide his light. Romney faults Rudy Giuliani for opposing the presidential line-item veto. But Giuliani doesn't, unfortunately. The facts -- not that they loom large in this skirmish -- are: When in 1997 Bill Clinton used the line-item veto, with which Congress had just armed him, to cancel $200 million for New York state, Giuliani harried Clinton all the way to the Supreme Court.
