Cynthia Lummis Booed For ‘Two Sexes’ Claim
“Sen. Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) was resoundingly booed on Saturday while giving a commencement address at the University of Wyoming after she said it is a ‘fundamental scientific truth’ that there can only be males and females,” the HuffPost reports.
Said Lummis: “There are those in government who believe not that the creator endowed us with inalienable rights … but that government created those rights. And the government should redefine those rights, including our rights to freedom of speech, religion, property, assembly and to keep and bear arms. Even fundamental scientific truths — such as the existence of two sexes, male and female — are subject to challenge these days.”
“Students erupted in boos and jeers after that last sentence — and they continued on for nearly 30 seconds as Lummis stood awkwardly smiling onstage.”
Ben Bernanke Sees ‘Stagflation’ Ahead
Former Federal Reserve Board chairman Ben Bernanke to the New York Times:
“Even under the benign scenario, we should have a slowing economy. And inflation’s still too high but coming down. So there should be a period in the next year or two where growth is low, unemployment is at least up a little bit and inflation is still high. So you could call that stagflation.”
U.S. Officially Passes 1 Million Covid Deaths
Associated Press: “The confirmed number of dead is equivalent to a 9/11 attack every day for 336 days. It is roughly equal to how many Americans died in the Civil War and World War II combined. It’s as if Boston and Pittsburgh were wiped out.”
Pennsylvania’s Madness
Charlie Sykes: “The leading GOP candidate for governor, Doug Mastriano, is so batshit bizarre that GOP leaders launched an eleventh-hour attempt to derail him and avert almost certain defeat in November… only to have Trump endorse him.”
“The GOP is also panicking about the Senate primary, as fringe candidate Kathy Barnette has been surging in the polls. Her rise has even rattled and divided the party’s entertainment wing. On Fox, Sean Hannity is savaging her as an unelectable extremist, while Laura Ingraham continues to give her air cover.”

Proposed New York Map Has More Competitive Districts
The new congressional district map for New York proposed by a court-appointed special master leans into competitiveness, according to the Cook Political Report.
As opposed to the struck 22D to 4R gerrymander, this map is more like 15D to 5R and includes six highly-competitive seats.
Here’s the new map.
This draft map is devastating for Democrats — particularly if 2022 is a red wave election.
Tucker Carlson and the Buffalo Shooter, Compared
Tucker Carlson on his Fox News show in 2018:
How, precisely, is diversity our strength? Since you’ve made this our new national motto, please be specific as you explain it. Can you think, for example, of other institutions such as, I don’t know, marriage or military units in which the less people have in common, the more cohesive they are?
Do you get along better with your neighbors, your co-workers if you can’t understand each other or share no common values? Please be honest as you answer this question.
The Buffalo gunman in a 180-page manifesto explaining his motivations behind last weekend’s mass shooting:
Why is diversity said to be our greatest strength? Does anyone even ask why? It is spoken like a mantra and repeated ad infinitum “diversity is our greatest strength, diversity is our greatest strength, diversity is our greatest strength…” Said throughout the media, spoken by politicians, educators and celebrities. But no one ever seems to give a reason why.
Steady Support for Russia Sanctions
A new Monmouth poll finds 77% of Americans back the economic sanctions imposed on Russia in response to its invasion of Ukraine. This is down only slightly from Monmouth’s poll two months ago (81%), due entirely to a decrease among independents (from 78% to 71%).
However, the percentage who support a ban on Russian gas and oil imports (78%) is identical to the March poll.
