BIDEN EARNS BACKLASH OVER TWEET REGARDING WOMEN ATHLETES

Editorial Comment

If female sports generated revenue equal to what men’s sports do, female athletes would be paid accordingly. But they don’t. For example, last year, the NBA generated $10 billion in revenue, while the WNBA generated a measly $60 million.

An unnamed radio personality made the point that male models are paid considerably less than female models. So why isn’t O’Biden whining about male models not getting their “fair share”? - @BillKriebel

ERODING THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE ERODES AMERICANS’ VOTING RIGHTS

Commentary by Laura Hollis

The structure of the American government was designed by the Founders to prevent raw majoritarianism: the three branches of government and their checks and balances, the allocation of power between the state and federal governments, constitutional limits on the federal government’s power, the differing composition of the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate, and the Electoral College.
