Donald Trump is upping his threats to Harvard, and I am okay with that as long as he stays within the law in doing so.  Trump’s first shot across the bow came when he froze some funding for Harvard, rightly accusing them of violating civil rights laws.

Seriously, what is the point of defending Europe? Well, maybe to defend the Louvre and some monuments to a once-great culture?  I can’t think of many other reasons, now that the continent has descended once-again into the 1930s-style of fascism (no, not the Nazis of the late thirties and 40s, but more Mussolini-style fascism).  Elections...

The Tesla vandalism spree has slowed down but it hasn’t stopped. Earlier this week a man in Mesa, Arizona carried out another arson attack at a Tesla dealership.
