Donald Trump’s war with higher education escalated this week with a series of moves, including an executive order threatening to upend accreditation for Academia. Trump also continued to escalate demand on Harvard specifically, letting other universities know that the White House means business with its enforcement of the Civil Rights Act under its new interpretations....
“Climate change will make earth a living hell!” claims popular astrophysicist Neil DeGrasse Tyson. I don’t believe him. The media say, “All Arctic ice will soon melt away! Polar bears are dying off! Global warming causes food shortages!” Bunk,...
The left’s reaction to the arrest of Wisconsin Judge Hannah Dugan has resulted in exactly the kind of freakout I anticipated it would. This is being treated as the end of America by some Democrats. Understand what this is: If Kash Patel and Donald Trump don’t like a judge, they think they can arrest them....
Why are they gunning for this guy? *snickers* THIS IS WHY Everyone who has been serving on Department of Defense advisory committees is to be thanked for their service and told that said service ‘is concluded‘ aka ‘out of a cushy post.’ Of course, there’s going to be all sorts of caterwauling about the move....
George Clooney should really stay in his lane. That’s my takeaway from the back and forth he’s having with Megyn Kelly. This all apparently started with Clooney who is currently starring in a stage production based upon his film Good Night and Good Luck, which is about journalist Edward R. Murrow. 60 Minutes did a...
Ashley Rindsberg, from whose stories I have riffed on before, has a great piece in Spectator Magazine about the COVID cover-up that adds a new twist. Anthony Fauci, through a Harvard University intermediary, helped funnel money from the Chinese property company Evergrande to Harvard in February 2020. And that contribution was, quite surprisingly, part of...
Something must have happened on the way to the revolution. Earlier this week NBC News revealed that the pro-Hamas activists at Columbia were gearing up for another tent encampment on campus. Last year’s encampment inspired copycat encampments on colleges across the country. It also led to Columbia not being able to hold its main graduation...
This was a really interesting couple of pieces I came across this morning, especially after writing that piece on all the student loan defaults. It seems there might be a trend back towards the trades beginning to appear among the Gen Z crowd. Some of the reasons seem obvious to me – the bloated cost...
Two things can be true. Trump may be exceeding his Constitutional authority in some of his executive orders–that is a matter for serious lawyers and jurists to debate and happens in every presidency–and also that there is an obvious judicial insurrection taking place in which judges declare that any decision they disapprove of is unconstitutional. ...

Remember this guy? In a crowded field of professional liars, he is perhaps the biggest liar elected to congress, at least recently. Today former Rep. George Santos was handed a 78 month sentence after pleading guilty to wire fraud and identity theft last year. He tearfully begged the judge for mercy but didn’t get it. ...
I guess I am a total jerk, but according to The New York Times, I should be deeply concerned that an illegal alien from Jamaica who came here as an adult, was convicted of kidnapping and who spent most of his time in the United States, was deported back to his home country. Nope, not...
As Beege pointed out a couple hours ago, a judge in New Mexico is in some trouble after allowing an armed illegal immigrant with alleged ties to Tren de Aragua to live in his guest house. Today, FBI Director Kash Patel announced another arrest. A judge in Wisconsin allegedly interfered with efforts to arrest an...
I’ve lived in California my entire life. I know the deal here. We technically are able to elect Republicans for governor, and have done so many times. Ronald Reagan and Richard Nixon come to mind, but so also do Pete Wilson and George Deukmejian. It used to be doable until, ironically, when we conservatives passed...
