The viewers who would be drawn to such explicitly feminist shows surely already know the basics that Hillary Clinton has come to teach them. So is “Gutsy” for women who want to open a central vein to the sisterhood? Women who want to gawk at Abby Wambach and Glennon Doyle’s serene kitchen while pretending they’re doing so in the name of female empowerment? Men?
Op-Eds
Froma Harrop: Democrats we might not mind losing
Even in its best days, the far left never held more than a handful of seats in Congress. Its main political influence has been the ability to freak out moderate voters and thus drain support for Democrats.
Rich Lowry: John Fetterman’s fitness for office is a legitimate issue
There is no doubt that his health status is an entirely legitimate issue and should be fully litigated before Pennsylvania voters choose between Fetterman and his Republican opponent, the TV doctor Mehmet Oz.
Cal Thomas: California dream could become a nightmare
State officials have banned the sale of gas-powered cars by 2035, but a preview of the nightmare that could occur in the near future is happening now.
Jennifer Gingrich: There’s more than abortion at stake for women’s rights
How did we get to the point where simply acknowledging the reality of biological sex is deemed hate? Everyone deserves protection from discrimination in employment, education and housing, but does being inclusive have to preclude common sense? It’s ludicrous to believe that the moment a male declares he feels female, there’s no physical difference between him and me or your mother.
Jim Howaniec: Maine’s criminal court system is in a constitutional emergency
The people of Maine need to understand that if we do not invest in our criminal court system, basic due process rights will continue to be eroded. Without immediate action, the American Civil Liberties Union will prevail in its litigation against the state, and it will be much more costly for taxpayers in the long run.
Froma Harrop: Donald Trump to the Democrats’ rescue
Trump is not going to give up his massive spotlight, not for the good of the party, much less America. It’s Trump to the rescue for Democrats, though. That could finally pull the plug on him.
Rich Lowry: The Democrats have a culture-war midterm strategy
Over the last couple of months, the party has set about to out-culture war the Republicans, using a different set of issues. As Republicans around the country desperately try to keep the focus on the ultimate kitchen-table concern, inflation, Democrats insist on talking about one of the most contentious issues in American politics, abortion.
Leonard Pitts Jr.: Trying to persuade Trump Republicans is a waste of time
Granted, that’s an ominous conclusion. After all, if reasoning is no longer a possibility, you are left only two options for resolving political differences: to impose one side’s will by force of arms or by weight of electoral dominance, i.e., by voting the other side into oblivion.
Cal Thomas: Is the ‘Red Wave’ fading?
It is difficult to believe that voters swimming in a red wave of anger and disgust at the Biden administration and what congressional Democrats have done will suddenly reverse course and either vote for the status quo or stay home, but that’s the goal of Democrats.
