For freedom to thrive, college campuses must die | Blaze Media:
Every donor needs to denounce these ideological terror cells masquerading as universities, withdraw their financial support, and demand the resignation of these vanguards of terror posturing as administrative leaders. They are the moral equivalents of the Weimar Republic intellectual terrorists who provided the intellectual ammunition for the Holocaust in the years preceding the rise of Nazism.

Argue with dangerous speech instead of banning it | Blaze Media
Argue with dangerous speech instead of banning it | Blaze Media:
For 20 years, American colleges have been driven toward ruin by the cultural cancer of “safetyism” and “crybullying.” Famously, Harvard Law School professor Jeannie Suk Gersen wrote an essay for the New Yorker about her bruising institutional fight to teach students in criminal law classes about the laws governing sexual offenses. She was, students explained, hurting them. They went to the dean because they felt unsafe. Saying “rape” in class was violence. Professors who teach rape law are mean.
“One teacher I know was recently asked by a student not to use the word ‘violate’ in class — as in ‘Does this conduct violate the law?’ — because the word was triggering,” she wrote. “Some students have even suggested that rape law should not be taught because of its potential to cause distress.”

Physicians propose med schools focus more on ‘oppression,’ ‘race’ than ‘medical expertise’ MICAIAH BILGER - ASSISTANT EDITOR"A Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons proposal to teach Canadian medical students more about “anti-racism” and “oppression” than “medical expertise” has doctors and academics alarmed...
- “The Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons may force medical students to learn more about ‘anti-racism’ than actual medicine. Canadian health care is on the fast track to racial division and discrimination,” the organization stated Monday...
- Medical training should center around “values such as anti-oppression, anti-racism, and social justice, rather than medical expertise,” according to the report, shared in late November by a member of the working group...

Why University Presidents Are (Almost) Never Fired | City Journal - Paul du Quenoy
Despite the media noise, the truth is that neither the three presidents who embarrassed themselves before Congress nor any other university president is likely to resign or be fired for their conduct...
- Even amid recent events, deferential trustees are likely to keep incumbents in power.
Despite the media noise, the truth is that neither the three presidents who embarrassed themselves before Congress nor any other university president is likely to resign or be fired for their conduct...
- How can this be?...
In my three-year term as a member of a governing board of an American university abroad from 2018 to 2021, for example, I never had any sense from the president about the institution’s problems, student complaints, or the faculty’s concerns.
- After I tried to learn more, the board did not renew my appointment. I was never told why...
Schumer goes 'nuts' when GOP senators try to discuss border crisis during classified briefing that descended into total chaos | Blaze Media
Schumer goes 'nuts' when GOP senators try to discuss border crisis during classified briefing that descended into total chaos | Blaze Media:
According to reports, a classified briefing about Ukraine funding — led by Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, and Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Charles Brown Jr. — became heated when Republican lawmakers began asking the officials direct questions about border security.
Schumer, however, immediately tried to stop such inquiries, demanding lawmakers speak only about Ukraine funding.
Had enough? Woman revives racist allegations against Trader Joe’s. But this time, reaction is VERY different
Had enough? Woman revives racist allegations against Trader Joe’s. But this time, reaction is VERY different - Vivek Saxena
"Trader Joe’s, the popular grocery store, is once again facing drummed-up backlash over its allegedly racist ways.
The latest controversy started late last month when an Asian woman published a TikTok video taking note of how Trader Joe’s brands its mandarin orange chicken under the name “Trader Ming’s.”

A funny thing happened when Kamala Harris visited Texas | Blaze Media
A funny thing happened when Kamala Harris visited Texas | Blaze Media:
Yet the vice president’s trip shows the Biden administration continues to fundamentally misunderstand the hardworking, tradition-minded Hispanic community. It turns out that they’re not so interested in government handouts, Ivy League radicalism, or free abortions on demand; they’re far more focused on freedom and opportunity for their families.
And the Biden administration’s policies put those goals further and further out of reach.

I just ordered it!-----A Call to Battle: Liz Wheeler’s ‘Hide Your Children’
A Call to Battle: Liz Wheeler’s ‘Hide Your Children’"In Hide Your Children: Exposing the Marxists Behind the Attack on America’s Kids, podcast host Liz Wheeler pulls back the curtain on many of the people and organizations behind these assaults on our young people, the nuclear family, and American culture in general.
- In the book’s introduction, she outlines the topics she will cover, including critical race theory and queer theory, the thought reform tactics behind DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion), and the radical ideas that have infected our schools, libraries, corporations, and government.
- She then proceeds in a methodical and lively manner to dig down and reveal the Marxist roots of these pernicious weeds...
All too often we hear of
- libraries sponsoring drag queen readings or of
- children being taught that whites are inherently evil or
- that sex is not determined by biology but by our preferences,
and we wonder who came up with such outlandish ideas.
Hide Your Children is replete with examples and data exposing the Marxism at work behind these activities...
Only Reason To Delay Hunter Indictment: 2020 Election Interference
Only Reason To Delay Hunter Indictment: 2020 Election Interference BY: MARGOT CLEVELAND
- The charges are so straightforward and stale, it is incomprehensible they were not brought against Hunter Biden in 2019 or early 2020.
Weiss instead limited the charges to the crimes that fell into his lap.
The simplicity of the charges underscores the protect-Biden racket that operated out of the Delaware U.S. attorney’s office for the last several years...
At the UN climate conference, NGO vanity rules the day | Blaze Media
At the UN climate conference, NGO vanity rules the day | Blaze Media:
Apparently, these holier-than-thou climate warriors missed the memo about buying only three garments per year and flying in an airplane only once every three years. The U.N. has a program called the #ActNow fashion challenge. According to the program’s propaganda, the fashion industry is responsible for 8% to 10% of global carbon dioxide emissions. (If we were to add up the asserted emissions percentages of this sector and that, I am quite sure the number is well over 100%.)
How are people supposed to reduce fashion industry CO2 emissions? The U.N. has an answer for that, too. Rent clothes when you can, buy secondhand clothes when you must buy, and buy fewer clothes even if you are buying from Goodwill.
