'Daddy Party' Blames 'Mommy Party" For Own Faults, Always
I'm thinking about two stories this morning -- and in some sense they're the same story.
One story is President Biden's pardon of his son Hunter, which continues to be the media's obsession. The other story is one that won't get the attention it deserves: Amanda Marcotte's report on Pete Hegseth's church. Marcotte reports that in the late 2010s, Hegseth
