Stephen Miller@StephenM, "It’s been 2 months since the media conceded Biden was mentally gone, party donors crowned Kamala, and for all practical purposes Kamala became acting President.

VodkaPundit, So Now Conservatives Are Evil for Liking — [Checks Notes] — Attractive Women?

Yet here we are, courtesy of Newsweek's Marni Rose McFall and her 2,000-word article that seems far more obsessed with "hot girls" — and the conservative men and women who admire them — than your typical high school boys' locker room.

The story begins, as these things always seem to do, with Sydney Sweeney's breasts.

"Sweeney appears to have kicked off the latest wave of conservative hot girls," McFall wrote, "at a time when conventional beauty standards have been adopted as a purported antidote to 'wokeness.'" Bournemouth University's Amy Tatum added, "This focus on 'hot girls' is a way for the right in the U.S. to fight back against perceptions of 'wokeness,' holding up women in a sexualized fashion could be a tactic to reinforce gender stereotypes around women's appearances."

Ace's THE MORNING RANT: Starbucks Should Not Have Alienated Conservatives as It Now Battles the NLRB and the Anti-Carbon Left "A quarter-century ago I would have been allied with Starbucks in this battle against unionization, but that was before companies like Starbucks allied with radical leftists in declaring culture war on half of the country. My principles also would have led me to strongly oppose the National Labor Relations Board dictating to Starbucks what stores it can operate, and how. But again, Starbucks declared war on me, so I don’t care. If Starbucks wants those of us who are “pro-business” conservatives to care about their battle against economic communists, maybe the company shouldn’t have embraced cultural communism. Let their good friends on the left save them from the NLRB."
