There is much to feel outraged about in Attorney General Merrick Garland's memorandum advising the DOJ on the dangers of moms showing up at school board meetings to complain about Critical Race Theory and mask mandates.
Such as:
- The DOJ appeasing a left-wing interest group that complained
- The DOJ effectively criminalizing speech
- The DOJ suppressing public debate through a "chilling effect"
- The DOJ likening ordinary objection to CRT as violence or terrorism
- Garland, a supposedly moderate liberal, carrying out a radical left agenda
- Garland's left-wing subordinates hiding behind the veneer of his moderation
- The DOJ showing more interest in school moms than Antifa terrorists
To the last point, Ari Fleischer tweeted: "The cultural left/much of the media are fine with harrassing a US Senator in a bathroom, barring Sarah Sanders from eating at a restaurant, and chasing Sen. Ted Cruz and his wife out of a restaurant, but they're opposed to parents speaking at school board meetings."
Amazing.

I should have noted in my message about the weekly Torah portion that this week is Shabbat Chazon, the Sabbath of Vision. We are about to mourn -- but see through that pain to something better that lies beyond, on the other side.
Wishing you the best vision -- and an incredible reality to follow. It happens!
We begin the final speech of Moses to the people of Israel before they enter the Promised Land. He relates the ups and downs of the years of wandering in the desert, before, finally, the people have the merit to enter the land itself.
This Sabbath always precedes Tisha B'Av, the Ninth of Av, the saddest day on the Jewish calendar. It is the anniversary of the destruction of both of the Holy Temples, and a catch-all for many calamities that befell the Jewish people.
A word on Tisha B'Av. This year I am leaving for an overseas trip during the afternoon of the holiday -- in the middle of a fast day. Not idea, but there was no other choice. But my flight is in the afternoon, which is significant.
We relax some of the harsh, mournful customs of the day in the afternoon. We start to pray normally; we sit on regular chairs; we start to have hope again in the redemption that will, one day, lead us all back from exile to our home.
I'll be taking a trip to a land where an important part of ...
President Trump is in Scotland, playing golf and making big trade deals -- a major deal with the EU, in fact. Meanwhile, there is a global outcry about humanitarian aid to Palestinians (not about the Israeli hostages, mind you).
On top of that, Democrats are at their lowest polling numbers ever -- so they are trying to win control of the House by redistricting in the middle of a 10-year Census cycle. Oh, economic optimism is up, so they have a tough road.
And Tulsi Gabbard's revelations about the Russia collusion investigation make it clear that Obama's lieutenants lied to Congress. How deeply was he himself involved? The media continue to ignore the evidence, but we certainly won't.

Frances Martel - Breitbart News foreign editor, on Trump abroad and Russia
John Spencer - urban warfare expert, on humanitarian aid and war in Gaza
