Rich Liberals to the Rescue! - WSJ
Some of the left’s most generously funded foundations support public broadcasters. - James FreemanBetter late than never, wealthy institutional donors seem poised to take a larger role in funding TV and radio shows they like, rather than letting average taxpayers get stuck with the bill.
The taxpayer savings will not be enormous given the gargantuan scale of federal spending.
Yet it certainly counts as progress to see the un-American phenomenon of state-backed media give way to a healthier model of voluntary support and independent broadcasting...
- Even for those who believe in state-backed media, this does seem to raise questions about the overall amount as well as the allocation of the $1.1 billion in funding.
- After its rescission, CPB support for the most vulnerable stations can be replaced for just $100 million?...

Joe Biden threw open the border to rig the census — and elections for Democrats
There is mounting evidence that the Biden administration tried to cook the books to give Democrats an unfair advantage, which explains why a minority of Democrats (43% compared to 83% Republicans) approve of President Trump’s decision to take a new census that excludes illegal aliens from the population count. - Miranda DevineWe know that the Biden administration deliberately broke the border and ushered in over 20 million illegal aliens, at a huge cost to the nation’s social welfare system, and with a reckless disregard for potential criminality and terrorism.
- Exactly why it did it has always been the burning question.
- A new Rasmussen poll gives us a clue: It’s the census...

Why Are So Many Deportation Protestors Geriatric or Transgender? - Michigan Enjoyer
It was a strange alliance: Hmong immigrants, families of the detained, geriatric white boomers, transgender activists, and zoomer organizers wearing N95 face masks. - Bobby MarsRegarding the issue at hand—ICE claims the detainees have criminal records which make them eligible for deportation...
A quick look down their purported rap sheets: breaking and entering, selling controlled substances, child sex abuse, weapons violations, that sort of thing...
- The Hmong protestors carried signs and placards advocating for the rights of their specific ethnic group like, “Stop Attacking Our Kin” and “Justice for Hmong.”
- The geriatric white boomers carried signs of a more universalist variety, like “Immigrants Make America Great,” or “Protect Refugees” and “Reject Tyranny.”
- A few confused, scattered remnants of the “No Kings” protests showed up, elderly couples in festive costumes. They didn’t get the memo that their slogan failed and it’s time to make new signs, apparently.
- Some boomers went even darker, like “The Holocaust Started as a Mass Deportation.” Another compared ICE to the Gestapo, the Nazi party’s secret police organization.
- My favorite was a man with a cardboard sign that simply read “No.” ...

Instapundit - TBD IF RACIST TWEETS CAN STILL GET YOU FIRED:
“white people don’t have cousin culture. their families are small and uninspired. weird customs. you can see that in kickstarter videos.” —Doreen St. Félix, New Yorker critic - Ed Driscoll
TBD IF RACIST TWEETS CAN STILL GET YOU FIRED:
Two weeks ago, shortly after Sydney Sweeney’s “great
genesjeans” campaign went live, Doreen St. Félix published a piece in The New Yorker, “The Banal Provocation of Sydney Sweeney’s Jeans,” in which she argued the ad depicted America “as a zombie slop of mustangs, denim, and good genes, its lowest-common-denominator stuff.”...The piece was very short, just five paragraphs long, mostly focusing on the aesthetics of Sweeney cleaning her Mustang and lying down wearing jeans. “There’s no irony or camp to leaven the trashy, dog-whistle atmosphere,” St. Félix writes, after unpacking what she sees as the ad’s racial subtext:
“Interestingly, breasts, and the desire for them, are stereotyped as objects of white desire, as opposed to, say, the Black man’s hunger for ass. Sweeney, on the precipice of totalizing fame, has an adoring legion, the most extreme of whom want to recruit her as a kind of Aryan princess.”...
