Kinzinger referred to the group as the “White Supremacy Caucus.” The group’s seven-page policy platform, released by Punchbowl News, calls for a “common respect for uniquely Anglo-Saxon political traditions” and a return to an architectural style that “befits the progeny of European architecture.” Anglo-Saxon is a term for white people related to Germanic inhabitants of 5th century England. “I believe anyone that joins this caucus should have their committees stripped, and the Republican conference should expel them from conference participation,” Kinzinger wrote in a Friday evening tweet....

The U.S. saw two mass shootings this month: the first in the Atlanta area left eight people dead, while the second left 10 dead in Boulder, Colorado. Those shootings came after the U.S. saw the highest number of gun-related deaths in at least two decades during the past year.

Al Gore’s speech to the Commonwealth Club last week was intelligent, but ultimately about tactics, not strategy. Gore believes that Saddam Hussein is a growing threat to the United States and the world–and one that must be dealt with, using force if necessary. But he dislikes the manner and sequence in which the president is conducting policy. That makes for a column, not a campaign. Here is the speech that Al Gore should have given:...

South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem’s threats to prosecute pharmacists who dispense the abortion pill seems like showboating. It reminds me of Trumps wall to prevent illegal immigration, when most illegal immigration is caused by people flying in and overstaying their visas. The same thing is going to result here. The governor might very well ban pharmacies from distributing the abortion medications, but ultimately people will acquire it by using telehealth and having it mailed to them....

But did he? It seems like a bunch of guys just scrambling for a loose ball, but the internet isn’t ready to let Allen off the hook. Here’s video of the alleged tripping incident:

Seoul’s new openness to the North made the Okryukwan possible. Franchised by Pyongyang, it is owned by a Korean entrepreneur in Japan, who sells the chance to “experience the exotic world of North Korea” for less than $5 a bowl. Using buckwheat and utensils shipped in from Pyongyang, the Okryukwan makes real Northern specialties like rangmyon noodles in chilled broth. But the ambience is off. Just one tenth the size of the 3,800-seat Pyongyang original, the Seoul Okryukwan also lacks posters crediting its noodles and all good things to “Great Leader” Kim Jong Il....
