Matthew Graves just received a court summons. As the U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, Graves is rarely on the receiving end of a legal inquiry. In fact, Graves’ hand must be tired from signing thousands of criminal indictments, sentencing memos, and plea offers related to his ongoing investigation into the events of January 6, 2021. Just this week, the FBI arrested two more individuals on minor offenses, giving Graves’ overstaffed office more fresh meat for the Justice Department’s vengeful retaliation against Americans who protested the certification of Joe Biden’s election that day. No investigative technique is too invasive...

They hate Black people so much that they kill them at higher rates than White people.I think Ku Klux Krashsites would have worked better but alas, no edit button. 😢— Gordon "Soros-Backed" Kushner (@Gordon_Kushner) April 17, 2023Racism. Is there nothing it can’t do?Some wag on Twitter noted that the rambling discourse from Mayor Pete was so absurd that even Al Sharpton appeared not to buy it.Perhaps, but Sharpton always looks sour and I won’t pretend to be able to read...

Wyoming has joined 18 other states in passing a law prohibiting male students from competing in girls’ and women's scholastic sports. Gov. Mark Gordon did not sign nor veto the bill on Friday, allowing it to become law in July. While the governor said he's supportive of women's sports and understands concerns about female students being denied scholarships because a male competitor had an unfair advantage and took their place, he insisted in a letter that the law “is overly draconian ... and pays little attention to fundamental principles of equality.” Senate Enrolled Act 92, also known as Senate File...

JUNCTION, VT – The Mid Vermont Christian School has been banned from competing in future sports tournaments after their team purposely forfeited a game in the girl’s state basketball playoffs in February due to the fact that the opposing team had a male-to-female transgender student on their roster.

Taking an electric car on a road trip can be a stressful experience — at least according to a couple who took their Kia EV6 on a cross-country trip from Michigan to Florida. Axios reporter Joann Muller said her husband took the electric car on a 1,500 mile road trip — she joined him part-way through — to see if the US is truly ready for mass EV adoption. While electric cars are becoming more prevalent, charging infrastructure isn't quite what it should be, Muller wrote. "We were constantly thinking about where to charge next," Muller wrote of her experience...
