ANN COULTER: Lindsay Clancy Democrats — A Girl for Luigi.

I guess the Lindsay Clancy trial has put an end to that whole thing about a woman being president. Clancy has become a feminist hero for slaughtering her three children, whose names, in case anyone cares, were Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months.

For that brave response to “postpartum depression,” she’s attracted hundreds of female admirers, who stand petulantly outside the courthouse in pink T-shirts, demanding her acquittal.

When Muslims pull this crap, blaming their gang rapes on the trauma of being asylum seekers, we’re not as understanding. But when women claim mental anguish from giving birth, we’re supposed to treat it as if it’s a disease as real as cancer and blame the doctors for not dispensing a magic pill to cure the batty lady.

Whether Lindsay has postpartum psychosis, is bipolar or a witch, to quote another witch, “What difference, at this point, does it make?” She still twisted an exercise band around the neck of her 3-year-old, his little legs kicking, then strangled her 5-year-old daughter until she went limp, before proceeding to garrote her 8-month-old baby.

A woman’s work is never done!

The pink ladies seem to think that if enough of them say, That could have been me, everyone will shout in unison, LET THAT POOR WOMAN GO! as opposed to, No. Woman. President. Ever. Thus, the organizer of the pink ladies, Renee Kimball, said of Clancy, “Any one of us could be sitting in her chair.” Okay, fine. But then none of you should ever be sitting in a chair at the Resolute Desk.

Earlier, from Nick Freitas: “I honestly don’t think that women understand what a catalyst moment this is. There’s been a lot of conditions set for young men to just be fed up. This is the one where I don’t think they realize you could look back in 20 years and be like, ‘Oh, this is where we lost the right to vote.’”

UPDATE: Mister, we could use a man like Norm Macdonald again:

SO FLOODING THE STREETS HAS TWO PURPOSES. It shows the government that people are mad. And it’s an implicit threat that all those mad people will do something about it if the government doesn’t change.

Leftist governments in Europe don’t care if people are mad, and they’re not afraid that the people will do anything. Some lamppost hangings may be required if the people are to get the message across.

ROGER KIMBALL: Sciolistic and Treadless: The Democrats’ Rough 2026. “Suffering from an acute, and possibly terminal, case of Trump Derangement Syndrome, the Democrats have been assiduous in shredding their credibility since the 2024 election.”

TODDLER MODE: Journalists Fume, Pout Over Accurate Headline That Makes Democrat Look Bad.

Employees accused [Bari] Weiss of tweaking the story’s headline—a brazen display of editorial activism that would never happen in a proper newsroom. It was a “shameful” breach of norms, they complained, not to mention overtly Islamophobic. Only an inexperienced and racist moron could think the deleted posts “were scandalous enough to report on,” the Daily Beast implied.

“They took a small nugget of news, forced it into something much larger,” a CBS News staffer told Darcy.

If that sounds familiar, it’s because that’s exactly how the media have reported on Republicans for decades. Mitt Romney’s binders full of women (and other gaffes). Pete Hegseth’s Christian tattoos. Calling Tom Cotton a racist for opposing riots, or suggesting COVID might have leaked from a Chinese lab. Casually dismissing stories about Joe Biden’s non-functioning brain as right-wing “disinformation.” The list goes on.

Weiss, the LGBTQ+ icon, has merely upended this longstanding tradition of prioritizing stories that make Republicans look bad while ignoring or downplaying the ones that make Democrats look bad.

Most journalists find this rather confusing, so naturally they’re lashing out.

Bless their hearts, the poor things.

To be fair, that’s an exceedingly new development at CBS News, which for about 70 years now has been exclusively a house organ for Democrats, so I can understand why Weiss’s underlings are in shock. Not to mention, the sheer chutzpah of an editor actually doing some, err, editing:

THE SPICE MUST FLOW:

Oil Flowing Through the Strait.The Trump administration has been saying for a while that as many as nine million barrels of oil a day are traversing the Strait of Hormuz. That claim has been “fact checked” and derided by just about everyone. Politico is one of many instances: “Trump’s rosy Hormuz claims collide with tanker data.”
…
Only – oops – it turns out that President Trump and Secretary Wright, one of his cabinet’s most impressive members, were right all along, as Kpler now confirms.

If only the correction were as big as the original report.

Actually, any correction at all would be nice — I couldn’t find one at Politico.

DISPATCHES FROM THE EDUCATION APOCALYPSE: U. Maryland lab begs students to sign up for class on ‘Indigenous Feminism’ and ‘monsters.’

Only six students were signed up for the 21-seat class “Indigenous Feminisms 101” with Professor Shelbi Meissner as of Monday afternoon, the first day of classes at the public university, according to the Office of the Registrar website.

This is despite the Instagram account for the UMD Indigenous Futures Lab, which Meissner runs, promoting the class several times in mid-August.

One post read: “sign up for Shelbi’s class please it’s really fun we make monsters and learn stuff about Indigenous Feminisms.”

Maybe the kids are starting to wise up.

PROFILES IN COWARDICE: House Passes Gov’t Funding Bill That Does Nothing To Fix Debt Crisis. “The national debt surpassed $40 trillion on Aug. 20 and the deficit reached $2 trillion in the 2026 fiscal year. The 30-year Treasury bond yield reached a 19-year high due to the soaring government debt, prompting the Department of Treasury to double the size of its long-dated Treasury buybacks from $2 billion to at least $4 billion per operation.”

“If something cannot go on forever, it will stop,” the wise man once said.
