'What exactly is your fair share of what someone else has worked for?'

Rebecca Downs, Web Editor at Townhall. com: Ron DeSantis has big plans for ridding the military of wokeness.

DeSantis also holds the distinction of having served in the military. And, if elected, he'd be the first war veteran who served in a war to be president since George H.W. Bush. DeSantis had a commission in the U.S. Navy as a JAG officer, and he also deployed to Iraq, where he earned the Bronze Star Medal for Meritorious Service and the Iraq Campaign Medal. DeSantis looks to use that experience to fix the military, not just to get rid of wokeness, but also 'rejuvenate morale.'

Matt Vespa, Senior Editor at Townhall.com: Why Senate republicans are demanding another special counsel probe for Biden.

We had smoking-gun evidence drop regarding Joe Biden’s alleged involvement in a bribery scheme from his Ukraine days, and it got smothered by news of the Trump indictment. Co-founder of Burisma Holdings, Mykola Zlochevsky, is the foreign national who allegedly bribed Joe and Hunter $5 million each in 2015-16. He has a ledger of the payments, phone calls, and recordings of those calls. If a fake Russian collusion allegation could launch a special investigation, actual evidence of corruption involving the now-president of the United States is in order.

We’ll see if that happens. It should, but we’re dealing in a world where a powerful agency within the executive is moving heaven and earth to protect the president and his allies in the Democratic Party.

Terence P. Jeffrey, editor-in-chief of CNSNews: Joe Biden on 'Transgender Americans'.

What is Biden's answer to these wrongs that he alleges state laws are perpetrating against 'transgender children?'

'That's why the Congress must pass and send me the Equality Act to codify protections for the LGBT community,' he said.

What specifically would this 'Equality Act' do? …

'The bill,' says the summary, 'prohibits an individual from being denied access to a shared facility, including a restroom, a locker room, and a dressing room, that is in accordance with the individual's gender identity.'

Katie Pavlich, Editor of Townhall.com: There's an update in Alvin Bragg's case against Trump.

In the aftermath of President Donald Trump's arraignment in Miami Tuesday on 37 federal criminal charges, the indictment against him in New York City from Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg is about to be put on hold.

According to New York Attorney General Letitia James, Bragg's local and political case against Trump will take a backseat to the Department of Justice. James' civil pursuits against him will suffer the same fate.
