Welcome, folks!

I've got good news for conservatives today. Conservatism is back. Not sneaking through the back door. Not hiding in the bushes wearing a fake mustache. I'm talking about kicking the front door open, flipping on the lights, and discovering that half the country was afraid of the dark for no reason.

Consider what happened after Team USA beat Australia 2-0. The players stopped and prayed.

Remember when they told us faith was finished? Remember when the experts assured us religion would be replaced by social media influencers and emotional support llamas?

Instead, Team USA wins, prays, and much of the world cheers America. Imagine that. The same people who spent years telling us America was the villain suddenly found themselves singing our National Anthem. It's almost like people secretly prefer confidence over self-loathing.

Meanwhile, down in Colombia, voters just handed socialism another eviction notice.

Socialism has become the world's longest-running infomercial. Every season starts with promises of equality and ends with somebody standing in line for toilet paper wondering where all the economists disappeared.

The Left keeps treating socialism like that ex who emptied your bank account. "This time it'll be different." Sure. And this time the raccoon won't get into the bird feeder.

Speaking of things not working out, let's travel to New York, where a Pride organization announced it's dissolving after its drag queen founder was arrested on child pornography charges.

Now before anybody starts hyperventilating, the point isn't that one criminal represents everyone. The point is how quickly the media's curiosity evaporates when a story points in the wrong ideological direction.

These are the same people who can spot systemic injustice from orbit but suddenly develop cataracts when an uncomfortable headline appears.

Then there's Los Angeles.

Federal agents reportedly descended on Skid Row investigating allegations tied to voter registration fraud.

Think about the symbolism.

California spent years telling us voter fraud was rarer than a unicorn riding a bicycle. Then investigators show up on Skid Row like they're filming a crossover episode between Law & Order and The Walking Dead.

You know what's remarkable?

California will allegedly investigate whether you're sufficiently gay to qualify for certain diversity contracting programs.

California businesses have to go through a “gay-certification” process to receive special contracts meant for gay-owned companies, Christopher Rufo of City Journal reported Tuesday.

If these business owners fail to sufficiently prove their claimed gayness, they may face up to a year in jail, while California’s vetting process for voters is practically nonexistent.

That's right.
