EXCLUSIVE: Diversity chiefs drowning in dough:

• Records show that America’s flagship universities are doling out an average of $175,088 per year for administrators tasked with leading their diversity efforts.
• Spokespersons for several universities defended the salaries, saying they are commensurate to the job responsibilities, but some outside observers say the money could be better spent on assistance for low-income students.

Records show that America’s flagship universities are doling out an average of $175,088 per year for administrators tasked with leading their diversity efforts.
That’s more than three times the average American household’s annual income, and just about enough to cover the sticker price of out-of-state tuition for six students.
...On average, each administrative position, generally identified as some variation of a chancellor, provost, or dean, earns $175,088—though at least 15 such officials earn well over $200,000 annually, including two administrators who earn more than $300,000 annually..."

Media Blames Dead Vets For Clinton's Loss | The Daily Caller:

"The dead veterans theory is based on a study of the relationship between parts of the country that felt the effects of war through the loss of loved ones and pro-Trump votes. Had those loved ones made it home from the war alive, the theory goes, the election might have flipped to Clinton."

Adorable newborn photoshoot will make you want kittens over kids | New York Post
"These baby photos are pawsitively purr-fect.

A Canadian family photographer put an original spin on the old “newborn photoshoot” by subbing a tiny kitten into the standard scenes of snoozing babies curled up in fuzzy linens.

Shutterbug Jessica M Thomas treats her friend’s six-week-old pet, Rosie, just like she would an infant subject — swaddling her in soft blankets, encircling her little ears in flower headbands and giving every shot a different theme..."

Good News! No One Is Buying Electric Cars. | Daily Wire

Good News! No One Is Buying Electric Cars. | Daily Wire:
"...What I am is a nature lover, someone who within reason and logic and actual science believes in cleanliness and preservation; someone who believes so much in the American Spirit, there is no doubt in my mind (and history and science back me up) that this can all be accomplished without stripping free men of their liberty, their way of life and prosperity.
And this is why, like all red-blooded Americans, I despise electric cars.

• ...First off, electric cars are driven mostly by smug, jerk-offs who believe that the simple act of sitting in a Prius makes them superior to the rest of us.
• But I also hate the LIE of the electric car, the lie that electric cars reduce the carbon footprint, the lie that they do not burn fossil fuel. What kind of moron convinces himself that the electricity that fuels an electric car emanates from a Magic Leprechaun as opposed to burning fossil fuels. Oh.
• Even more than that, though, is what a country full of covered golf carts would signify. Primarily, it would signify that we have been suckered and/or bullied into conforming to the anti-science lie, the left-wing hustle, the CNN propaganda. It would also signify that as a country we had surrendered our can-do spirit to a dystopic world filled with 40 mph sameness. 
• Because that is not America. In America we figure it out — we always find a way to preserve our freedom, our God-given right to own a muscle car in a world filled with fresh air and clean water.

Lawmakers Cite Evidence Russia ‘Colludes’ With US Green Groups to Block Fracking

Lawmakers Cite Evidence Russia ‘Colludes’ With US Green Groups to Block Fracking:

"In their letter to the treasury secretary, Smith and Weber also say the Russians have been able to advance their strategy without “a paper trail.”

They pass along reports that Russia apparently funnels the money through a Bermuda-based “shell company” known as Klein Ltd.

Tens of millions of dollars are moved from Russia through Klein “in the form of anonymous donations” to a U.S.-based nonprofit called the Sea Change Foundation.

The money, the congressmen write, then is moved in the form of grants to U.S. environmental organizations."
