Biden appears hapless, confused and stymied. He won the presidential election not because of who he was, but because of who he wasn’t. And that means the November election might not only be a rejection of the president’s agenda – a red wave – but a rejection of the president himself.

How should conservatives think about conspiracy claims? We know conspiracies exist — the Clinton-Steele Dossier proved that. But as a rule, be careful about attributing to conspiracy what can just as easily be explained by incompetence or stupidity.

With November midterm elections coming it’s critical that voters feel confidence in the basic accuracy and security of their state election systems. The really good news is that all the evidence so far indicates they can. 

McConnell got done what needed to be done—and with less drama than we’ve seen in the House. He limited the fiscal and political damage Biden’s agenda could have caused, and he bought some much-needed time on fighting Build Back Better.

Manchin demonstrated that a “moderate” Democrat can still make a difference and may have reduced the hit Democrats will likely take in the 2022 midterms.

Progressives' efforts to defund and reform the police has made organized theft very lucrative.

Biden is going to the climate summit in part because he clearly cares about the environment, as we all should. But he has other reasons for going, many of which are more political than environmental.
