A RECKONING:

Stephen A. Smith publicly APOLOGIZES to Kyrie Irving after calling him "selfish" for refusing the COVID jab.

GEE, IF ONLY THERE HAD BEEN SOME WARNING THAT SOCIALISM ISN’T GOOD FOR A COUNTRY:  Fed-up Spaniards lash out at socialist prime minister after migrant invasion: ‘A third-world country’.

WHO CARES WHAT LA CAGE AUX NÉVROSÉS THINKS?  Here’s Why BlueSky Is Accusing Jeopardy Host Ken Jennings of Being ‘Transphobic’.

IT’S AS IF SOCIALISM DOESN’T PLAY SO WELL OUTSIDE THE COASTAL ELITES:  Francesca Hong Continues Trying to Distance Herself From the DSA.

IS SHE THE WORST. JUSTICE. EVER?  Wait, Ketanji Brown Jackson Really Said That…on This Podcast?

GOOD:  America Sanctioning Iran’s Mahan Air Network and IRGC-Linked Front Company.

THE INFLUENCE PEDDLING OPERATION IS NO LONGER WORKING:  Hunter Biden: “Hey, I’m Broke … and So Is My Old Man.”

BETTER THAN SPAIN!  Reconquista.

HE’S NOT WRONG:  Fauci the murderer.

IT’S JUST WHAT GREW OUT OF THE FACT THAT HUMANS TRADE NATURALLY:  Nobody “designed” capitalism.

OPEN THREAD: Ring in the weekend.
