(And we still don't have any of Platner's activities on Kik.)]]>Thu, 23 Jul 2026 12:40:00 -0400<![CDATA[Ed Morrissey]]><![CDATA[Democrat Party]]><![CDATA[Wisconsin]]><![CDATA[Graham Platner]]>https://hotair.com/ed-morrissey/2026/07/23/too-fun-to-check-dems-desperation-candidate-is-dirt-mcgirk-n3817249<![CDATA[&nbsp;I've written about the WNBA's treatment of Caitlin Clark a couple of times, despite having no particular interest in the WNBA.&nbsp;]]>Thu, 23 Jul 2026 12:00:57 -0400<![CDATA[David Strom]]><![CDATA[Sports]]><![CDATA[Woke]]>https://hotair.com/david-strom/2026/07/23/caitlin-clark-needs-to-get-fouled-because-emmett-till-was-killed-70-years-ago-n3817247<![CDATA[Prichard, Alabama, was, from what I've been told, once a comfortable, working-class little suburb just outside of Mobile proper.
