Danielle Lindemann, a sociologist who studies — wait for it — gender roles, decided to crank the anti-gender role awareness “up to a whole new level” after her daughter took a liking to a Disney princess-themed book she received as a gift.

'My Body, My Choice': Feminist Mom Edits 3YO Daughter's Disney Princess Book. It's Ridiculous. | Daily Wire:
"The lovely edits include rejecting that horrible notion of being kind, promoting abortion, and emasculating Aladdin, along with other silly feel-good feminist nonsense.

"Our system of government is under attack, with the ability of the chief executive to conduct foreign policy crippled by the leak of transcripts of two presidential conversations with foreign leaders.
Any conversation between the POTUS and a foreign leader must be assumed to be taking place in public, so honesty is out of the question.
"Our system of government is under attack, with the ability of the chief executive to conduct foreign policy crippled by the leak of transcripts of two presidential conversations with foreign leaders.
The Washington Post, owned byJeff Bezos, the world’s richest, or second-richest, or at worst third-richest man, fired a warning shot to the leaders of all the world’s nations that they are subject to the public gaze in their conversations with Trump.
The presidency and therefore the nation is in peril.
Does anyone else think that a gazillionaire...attempting to cripple the President of the United States raises some warning signals?
Does the word “plutocracy” occur to no one else?
This inconvenient bit of context aside, even Trump-hating David Frum sees the peril:

This move is part of a larger effort, to overthrow the results of a legitimate election, led by plutocrats and the Deep State.

Donald Trump endorses new immigration bill to cut green card limits, favor English speakers - Washington Times
Donald Trump endorses new immigration bill to cut green card limits, favor English speakers - Washington Times:
"Meeting at the White House with GOP Sens. David Perdue of Georgia and Tom Cotton of Arkansas, the bill’s sponsors, the president said the revised legislation “would represent the most significant reform to our immigration system in half a century.”
The measure, known as the RAISE Act, “will reduce poverty, increase wages and save taxpayers billions and billions of dollars,” Mr. Trump said.
The legislation would slash legal immigration in half, to 500,000 per year, over the next decade. The senators said it would replace the current permanent employment-visa framework with a skills-based system that rewards applicants based on their individual merits."

It often seems that campus activists are less about actually creating positive "change" and more about personal vanity.
The latest entry comes from the upper-crust Sarah Lawrence College, where The College Fix reports that some activists feel they deserve to be compensated for their activism.

And not by the organizations they're working with, but by the very peers they tend to annoy with their antics:
Students at Sarah Lawrence College, a posh, private liberal arts college in New York consistently ranked one of the most expensive colleges in the nation, recently called on peers and others to pay female campus activists for their “emotional labor.”..."

Half of Detroit mayoral candidates are felons
"Detroit — Half of the eight mayoral hopefuls on Detroit’s primary ballot next week have been convicted of felony crimes involving drugs, assault or weapons, a Detroit News analysis shows.
Three were charged with gun crimes and two for assault with intent to commit murder. Some of the offenses date back decades, the earliest to 1977.
The most recent was in 2008.
...Tuesday’s Detroit mayoral primary election is the first since the city exited bankruptcy in 2014. The field of eight will be narrowed to two who will face off in the fall..."

Misery Doesn't Cause Revolution | Faster, Please!
Many reasons:
"I keep watching the videos from Venezuela, hundreds of thousands of protesters calling for an end to the Chavez-Maduro era.
And I ask myself, why is this manifestly failed regime still in place?
People are starving.
The stores are empty.
Doesn’t revolution ensue when misery reaches a turning point?
So how come there’s no evidence that
--Because misery doesn’t cause revolution, whatever you may have been taught.
The revolutionaries think they can change the world, and they think—nowadays, at least—that powerful forces are working on their side...
Not in Venezuela, not in Iran, not in North Korea.
Certainly the citizens in those countries are miserable, but I don’t think that revolution is about to erupt in any of them.
I think that politics is an independent variable, not, as the Marxists would believe, the outcome of certain social conditions.
Its causes are spiritual, not material.
I think that revolution is an act of hope, not a last, desperate throw of the dice. The revolutionaries think they can change the world, and they think—nowadays, at least—that powerful forces are working on their side...
So it’s political.
It’s not the economy, stupid..."

Oregon Gov. Brown under pressure to veto sanctuary-state bill after high-profile arrest - Washington Times:
"“Under no circumstances should an alleged sex-offending criminal illegal alien get off scot free from their heinous crimes,” Senate Minority Whip Dennis Linthicum said in a statement. “This is why we have rules, laws and the legislature … these institutions protect people.”
He said that sanctuary states like Oregon “excuse lawless behavior and perpetuate criminal, rape and gang cultures. Every Oregonian should be outraged to see criminals let loose into the streets. Career Democrats shouldn’t sacrifice Oregonians’ safety on the altar of their extreme political agenda.”"
