• Nancy Pelosi’s husband arrested for DUI: Democrat House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s 82-year-old husband Paul was arrested in Napa, California, over the weekend on suspicion of driving drunk. Paul crashed his 2021 Porsche into a Jeep around midnight on Sunday evening. No injuries were reported. Nancy, who was on the East Coast at the time of the incident, released a statement saying that she would not be commenting on this “private matter.” Paul likely faces misdemeanor charges but was released after he posted bail. Beyond the allegation that he was driving drunk, Paul’s advanced age might mean it’s time for him to stop driving and hire a driver. With their tens of millions, there’s no doubt the Pelosis can afford it, and Nancy could finally claim credit for creating a job.

• NRA forges ahead with convention in Houston: Less than a week after the school massacre in Uvalde, Texas, the National Rifle Association pressed on with its scheduled annual convention in Houston, despite a number of significant figures dropping out of the event. One noted individual who refused to bow to the anti-gun pressure groups was Senator Ted Cruz, who delivered a stirring and timely speech in defense of Americans’ right to self-defense. Immediately following the convention, the NRA board announced, predictably, that it had reelected Wayne LaPierre as CEO. Notably, after Mark Alexander wrote critically about the NRA's self-inflicted wounds, including suggesting it's time for new leadership, he was flooded with responses from grassroots folks of all ages — former NRA members and some previously major benefactors — who vowed not to return until LaPierre is gone. Not one single commenter supported LaPierre.

• Forty-seven shot in Chicago over Memorial Day weekend: The all too predictable pattern of violence continued over Memorial Day weekend in Chicago, where the number of individuals shot surpassed last year’s total of 37. This year, 47 individuals were shot, with nine people dying from their wounds. Domestic and gang-related disputes were responsible for most of the violence, with innocent victims unfortunately caught in the crossfire. Sadly, this is nothing new for the Windy City; the weekend prior, 32 people where shot. Meanwhile, prior to the holiday weekend, Mayor Lori Lightfoot changed a citywide youth curfew from 11 p.m to 10 p.m. Clearly, that change had little effect in stopping the violence.
