Friday Fun: McEnany Spars with Press on Reopening Churches, Flynn Case

Friday brought us another White House press briefing featuring Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany batting behind President Trump and Dr. Deborah Birx and, predictably, McEnany continued to impress (except the ardent anti-Trump liberal media).

Michele Norris has “a sense of vertigo and justifiable anger.” Perhaps because the latest product line she and others in the race industry are hawking isn’t quite catching on. It’s the idea that those who want to go back to work, or go shopping, or have a beer on a sunny day, are, in Norris’s formulation, “impervious to black pain.”

Cuban Tells Hannity Trump Failing to Lead During Pandemic

Yes, we should really be listening to Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban when he speaks on the stuff that leaders are made of. Mr. Cuban forfeited his credibility on this subject in 2018 when he was forced by the NBA to pay $10 million to women's leadership and domestic violence organizations. Why?
