TaxProf Blog The 2L At The Center Of The Yale Email Controversy: 'We Must End The Culture Of Performative Repentance'
"We must end the culture of performative repentance. ...
I don’t believe that the now-common ritual of compelled apology, complete with promises to “grow” and “do better” (their words, but ones I’m sure you’ve seen many times before) helps anyone, or is even intended to.

If we continue to indulge this culture of performative denunciation, the very idea of an apology will lose its meaning.

Watch: Joe Biden Praises Governor He Once Accused of Racism - Louder With Crowder:
Joe Biden took time away from being a horrible president to campaign for Terry McAullife in Virginia. It seems like an odd decision since Terry is on record saying how unpopular and unhelpful Biden is. But it's a week until election day and "The Macker" is close to losing the governor's race to Glenn Youngkin. He's desperate, so he had them wake up Joe and drive him to a rally. Once there, Biden was happy to give a shout out to his "pal," current Democrat Governor Ralph Northam. The same Northam he once accused of racism when it was discovered Northam used to like running around in blackface. Biden may have forgotten. We're lucky he remembers his pants. Here's a reminder.

Doctor on FDA panel says only way to learn about COVID vaccine effects in children is to 'start giving it' - TheBlaze:
In fact, according to Rubin, the vaccine should be approved in spite of the unknown, for administering the vaccine is the only way possible to learn of potential side effects.
"It really is going to be a question of what the prevailing conditions are," Rubin said. "But we're never going to learn about how safe this vaccine is unless we start giving it. That's just the way it goes."

Email Shows Biden Ordered Afghanistan Evacuation Flights Be Filled With Unvetted Refugees
Email Shows Biden Ordered Afghanistan Evacuation Flights Be Filled With Unvetted Refugees:
Hawley, who says he obtained the email through a U.S. official who was outraged by the Biden administration's failure to vet Afghan refugees flown into America, published the email Tuesday afternoon on Twitter. Hawley maintains that Afghan evacuees were not throughly screened with intensive interviews before they arrived in the United States.
"This email was shared [with] me by an American official present in Afghanistan during the evacuation who was shocked by administration's failure to vet Afghans before they were evacuated," Hawley wrote. "Email details orders from Joe Biden to fill up the planes—even without vetting."

The Left-Wing Bias in Economics Textbooks - El American
- Academia is largely a left-wing bubble, full of people who teach because they can succeed at nothing else--LAWRENCE W. REED
“Economic illiteracy is dangerous,” warns economist Todd Buchholz. 
“I can ride on a roller coaster without understanding centrifugal force… Physics can protect me, whether I believe it or not.
But if I ignore basic economics, I could go broke.
And if a country ignores basic economics, it could go bankrupt.”
...Most textbooks are written by academics, and that’s a big part of the problem.

'Greatest correction in the history of journalism!': Donald Trump Jr. hails WaPo after it says crowd at September speech was chanting 'F*** Joe Biden!' not 'Let's Go Brandon' - TheBlaze:
Donald Trump Jr. is hailing a correction from the Washington Post after the outlet said it had inaccurately reported that a crowd chanted "Let's go Brandon" at a Trump Jr. speech last month in Georgia. The crowd had actually chanted "F*** Joe Biden!," according to the Post.
"Correction: A previous version of this article incorrectly said a crowd broke into a "Let's go Brandon" chant during a Donald Trump Jr. speech in Georgia. The crowd broke into a "F--- Joe Biden!" chant at that speech in September. The error, which was inserted by an editor, has been corrected," the outlet explained.
Anthony Watts: Data Manipulation Shows Nonexistent Climate Emergency
"Anthony Watts, senior fellow for environment and climate at The Heartland Institute, takes the stage at the 14th International Conference on Climate Change to discuss how data is being manipulated to make temperatures higher than they appear.
Surface temperature stations that are clearly in areas that are artificially warmer than normal are having their data mixed in with proper data.
This causes temperatures to skew hot."
