MONA CHAREN: Jimmy Carter’s Legacy.
🚨OVERTIME 🚨Solving the mystery… Of the Ken Griffey, Jr. baseball game, its players, and its music. You didn’t try hard enough, Mark. Last year during his failed Senate primary bid, Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich said, with regard to the election fraud lies: “Most of it’s horses**t, and I’ve been trying to scrape it off my shoes for the last year.” Fast forward to today, when it’s revealed he concealed records that would debunk those claims. Nutso in Idaho… Yesterday, Joe Perticone brought you the details of the secessionists in Idaho and Washington, but it gets better (read: worse) with two Republicans trying to make mRNA vaccines a crime. The Sam Brinton saga takes a turn… The mentally unwell former Biden DOE appointee who has a penchant for stealing luggage, well, just got called out by a fashion designer who brought the receipts. The Fringe Frontier… At Vanity Fair, James Pogue explains how the dissident right is trying to conquer the west. Just what East Palestine, Ohio needs… “Trump Water” and “much lesser quality water” from the guy who gutted the regulations that could have made a difference. Meanwhile, in Saint Louis… The business community is growing tired of a progressive prosecutor, Kim Gardner, who rarely prosecutes after a visiting volleyball player had to get her legs amputated because of a criminal that, elsewhere, would have been locked up. Mayor Tishaura Jones, a fellow Democrat, says that Gardner has “lost the trust of the people” and “needs to do some soul searching.” It’s getting nuts. And in Florida… A veritable Atticus Finch is pushing for a pregnant woman accused of killing another woman to be released, as the unborn child is being held against its will. Could the unborn child be charged with trespassing, one wonders? Your photo of the day… And the story behind it. ![]() 📸: The Pentagon has provided & confirmed authenticity of this selfie taken by a U-2 pilot flying by the Chinese surveillance balloon. CNN reported earlier this month that the photo had reached legendary status in the Pentagon and NORAD. That’s it for me. Tech support questions? Email members@thebulwark.com. Questions for me?
