Abdul El-Sayed is no JFK
Abdul El-Sayed, the Democratic Senate candidate in Michigan, thinks he’s another JFK, not in terms of charm or wit, but as a fellow victim of religious bigotry. When he ran for president in 1960, Jack Kennedy indeed encountered anti-Catholic prejudice, including the preposterous claim that he’d take orders as president from the Vatican. This was irrational conspiracy theorizing, whereas the questions that El-Sayed is facing about his family’s ties to extremist groups are well-founded.

The anti-French revolt in France
“All my life,” Charles de Gaulle famously said, “I have had a certain idea of France.” This, though, was presumably not what he had in mind. France has been wracked by riots targeting public buildings and symbols of the nation, as well as ordinary commercial concerns. Of course, France has a long tradition of unrest on the streets. If someone isn’t setting a car alight somewhere in the country in protest, you almost wonder what’s gone wrong.

Lowry: Is this the return of woke?
After sweeping the swing states and winning the popular vote in 2024, Donald Trump took office with a sense that he occupied the center and had dealt the cultural left a grave blow. Non-aligned or heterodox voices in the podcasting world and media had gravitated toward him, alienated by the illiberalism and exotic concerns of contemporary Democrats. Significant elements of Silicon Valley swung his way.

Iran exposes an intolerable U.S. vulnerability Original
Churchill said that “Wars are not won by evacuations,” and sometimes, he might have added, they are simply embarrassing. The U.S. hastily flew its B-1 bombers out of RAF Fairford in the U.K. for fear of a potential Iranian drone attack, the latest in a series of successful Iranian operations to crimp U.S. bases, this time more than 2,000 miles away.
Iran War: President Trump Cut the Public Out of Decision to Launch War
President Trump's decision to bypass congressional authorization and launch a conflict without public consensus compounds the political risks for Republicans facing voter frustration over inflation and the war.

LOWRY/Who is Ilhan Omar?
Much of Ilhan Omar’s family story is a black box, but we are presumably about to learn more about it. Federal authorities raided her Washington, D.C., residence in what’s reportedly a probe related to her immigration paperwork. The congresswoman has alleged an effort to weaponize federal law enforcement and silence her.

The Anti-French Revolt in France
Whatever France's immediate future, greatness is not going to be part of the picture.

Lowry: Is it the return of woke?
The culture is unlikely to reach the same level of insanity it did after the death of George Floyd, when seemingly every major institution in American life instantly adopted a DEI mindset, but the woke fever has dissipated, not broken. The most consequential political leaders tend to pull the opposing party in their direction. This is what Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher did with the Democrats and Labor respectively (via Bill Clinton and Tony Blair).

The system worked in the Cornell 7 case
We’ve heard it from politicians, celebrities and influencers — the system failed the accuser in the Cornell 7 case. This near-universal view is advanced with great certainty and a sense of outraged righteousness, but mistaken nonetheless. Based on the information available to them at the time, the authorities handled the matter in keeping with the facts and the law.

The congresswoman has alleged an effort to weaponize federal law enforcement and silence her. She has always responded with angry dismissals, even when the Minneapolis Star Tribune - not exactly a right-wing news source - has made inquiries.

It was the latest in a series of successful Iranian operations aimed at crimping US bases, this time more than 2,000 miles away from Iran itself.
