The Elite College Students Who Can’t Read Books

To read a book in college, it helps to have read a book in high school. - Rose

...This development puzzled Dames until one day during the fall 2022 semester, when a first-year student came to his office hours to share how challenging she had found the early assignments. 

Lit Hum often requires students to read a book, sometimes a very long and dense one, in just a week or two. 

• But the student told Dames that, at her public high school, she had never been required to read an entire book. 

She had been assigned excerpts, poetry, and news articles, but not a single book cover to cover.
“My jaw dropped,” Dames told me...

WTH??!!---In the UK if I get reported to the police by a leftist or Muslim or a random nutjob who is offended by anything I post I can end up in prison...

Daniel Jupp - In the UK if I get reported to the police by a... | Facebook - Daniel

...even if what I post is morally true or factually true, or both.

• It doesn’t matter whether it is true. 
• It only matters if someone is offended.

I can also be imprisoned on the word and subjective feelings of anyone with ‘protected characteristics’, whose offence is legally a weapon they can use against me. 

So I’m particularly vulnerable if any ethnic minority person or Muslim is offended by what I say.
It doesn’t matter either if what I say is rhetorical or metaphorical, or not intended seriously, or obvious hyperbole, or satire, or a joke. 

Everything will be taken literally and anything can be punished...

Chuck Todd *PANICS* over Trump designating Antifa terrorist organization.

"I don't even know what Antifa is. - Jason Cohen @JasonJournoDC

• I know what the definition of Antifa is. 
• There is no group!" 

"But what's dangerous is that by designating it, who's going to define who the group is?" "And if the Trump administration decides to say, 'You, George Soros, are a part of this group that I designated,' and you're like, 'No, I'm not,' and it doesn't matter."

Charlie Kirk showed us the lie at the heart of progressive culture | Blaze Media

Charlie Kirk showed us the lie at the heart of progressive culture | Blaze Media: 

The culture may label us “haters,” but the truth is this: Standing on God’s word is the most loving thing we can do.

Charlie Kirk lived this out boldly. And Franklin Graham’s defense of him reminds us that true Christianity is not about silencing sin or watering down truth. It’s about proclaiming Christ with courage and compassion.

Like Charlie, we are called to hold fast to biblical truth — no matter the cost.

As Bad As You Think the Left Is I ASSURE You, They Are Far Worse

Naively, I thought the actual assassination would be the lowest of the low, but then the Left tried to claim the gunman was a conservative. - Sam J. 
And then when that was debunked, they tried to pull the 'both sides are violent' card, and yet we're not seeing Leftists and Democrats getting shot at.
Or assassinated...

Again, Charlie Kirk was assassinated.

• But we're the bad guys?

The Left never ceases to amaze me in horrible ways.

Concrete action the feds, states, and citizenry can take right now to stop the madness | Blaze Media: 

This moment is historic, and for once the Grand Old Party is poised to meet it. Charlie Kirk’s cowardly assassin changed everything, and Democrats are just beginning to realize the extent of their trouble.

Here’s what this country and its government can do now, and in the near future, to make sure the system that produced and propelled Kirk’s killer is finally and mercifully dismantled.

Charlie Kirk's Last Book with Counter-Cultural Wisdom for Christians Will Be Released Later This Year

Charlie Kirk's Last Book with Counter-Cultural Wisdom for Christians Will Be Released Later This Year: 

Even though Charlie Kirk was murdered in tragic and sudden fashion, his work will outlive him and continue to shape an entire generation of Americans. In the days since his Sept. 10 assassination during a campus event at Utah Valley University, his debates with students, speeches before world leaders, and proclamations of the gospel have gone viral on social media.

They can't stop celebrating his death!

 

Did Michigan's Secretary of State Really Just Approve This License Plate?

We’re not shooting people with whom we disagree politically—you are.  - Matt Vespa

We’re not saying anything inflammatory. 

You are.

Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson approved it.
