Cornell University students move to ban 'hate speech' - Washington Times

Cornell University students move to ban 'hate speech' - Washington Times:
"A Latino student at Cornell University overheard somebody chanting, “build a wall,” so now the student government passed a resolution condemning “hate speech.”
Whatever that is.
Seriously — what is hate speech?
Read the First Amendment, and it’s not mentioned there.
In fact, the whole concept of the First Amendment was in order that government could not intrude on a citizen’s right to express speech deemed by some as offensive — a sort of constitutional right to say hateful things..."

NFL Ruins Football Sunday | Daily Wire:

"Sports is, for the viewer, an escape from the real world, where we can watch finely tuned athletes play a game at the very highest level. No viewer cares a whit whether Bryce Harper agrees with the president on trade tariffs – nor should they. It's a game – just play it (and make millions while you do it).

So, how all of this should have gone down is simple: Sports teams should have nixed any protest in the bud. Colin Kaepernick wants to protest against police brutality by refusing to stand during the National Anthem? Fired – with a simple message from the owners: You can do whatever you want on your time, but don't bring it to the stadium."

Puerto Rico’s Power Woes Are Decades in the Making - WSJ

Years of underinvestment and massive debts left the energy grid vulnerable

TOA BAJA, Puerto Rico—As residents grapple with power outages across the entire island, the task of turning the lights back on falls to an electrical utility saddled with rickety infrastructure, workforce reductions and financial troubles so deep it declared a form of bankruptcy in July.
Earlier this month, Hurricane Irma sideswiped the island, knocking out power to about 70% of the customers of the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority, or Prepa.
...“This is a major disaster, we have lost 100% of our energy, there has been a lot of flooding,” Gov. Ricardo Rosselló said Sunday.
“People don’t think there will be light until after Christmas,”
...Power outages are common.
A fire at one of the utility’s plants in September triggered a blackout across the island that left many customers without power for days.
Yet prices are high.
In April, Prepa’s average electricity rate was 20.1 cents per kilowatt-hour, down from 25 cents in 2013 but still close to double the average mainland U.S. rate of about 12 cents, according to Moody’s..."

Trump confuses 't-o' and 't-o-o' during Thursday tweet storm

Trump confuses 't-o' and 't-o-o' during Thursday tweet storm:
"WASHINGTON (AP) — Should President Donald Trump thumb through a dictionary before putting his thumbs to work on tweets?
Trump confused “to” and “too” during a series of tweets Thursday morning, getting it right after two tries.
He also replaced “their” with the correct “there” in the same two-part tweet.
Over the weekend, Trump was tripped up by “heel” when he meant to write “heal” in comments about dueling rallies in Boston.
...Trump’s presidential misspelling on Twitter dates to his first full day in office, when he described himself as “honered” to serve as the 45th president..."

CNN Calls 'Ordinary People ... White Supremacists by Default'

CNN Calls 'Ordinary People ... White Supremacists by Default'
"...CNN's John Blake published a story blaming "ordinary people" for making Charlottesville possible, and quoting a history professor who called such people "white supremacists by default."

"We are a country with a few million passionate white supremacists — and tens of millions of white supremacists by default," Mark Naison, a political activist and history professor at Fordham University in New York City, told CNN. 
"You have to have millions of people who are willing to be bystanders, who push aside evidence of racism, Islamophobia, or sexism. You can't have one without the other."

Blake, the CNN reporter, paraphrased activists like Naison saying "the tragedy that took place in Charlottesville this month could not have occurred without the tacit acceptance of millions of ordinary, law-abiding Americans who helped create such a radically explosive climate."

He argued that "it's the ordinary people — the voters who elected a reality TV star with a record of making racially insensitive comments, the people who move out of the neighborhood when people of color move in, the family members who ignore a relative's anti-Semitism — who give these type of men room to operate, they say..."

Betsy DeVos draws praise, outrage for rescinding Obama-era campus sex-assault policy - Washington Times

Betsy DeVos draws praise, outrage for rescinding Obama-era campus sex-assault policy - Washington Times:

"Education Secretary Betsy DeVos on Friday rescinded the Obama administration’s Title IX letter on campus sexual assault, sparking outrage from her foes but relief from those who have lambasted the policy for eroding due process by favoring the accuser over the accused.
Ms. DeVos also issued an interim guidance for schools on “how to investigate and adjudicate allegations of campus sexual misconduct under federal law” while the department proceeds with its rulemaking to replace the 2011 policy."
