NEW COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGIES HAVE ALWAYS CHANGED WHO GETS TO QUESTION AUTHORITY. The printing press brought millions of new minds into the conversation. Social media brought billions. Free speech is what lets that scrutiny produce discovery, correction, and progress.

THE ENEMY WITHIN: Higher Ed’s Secret Foreign Funding.

The Trump administration has made university accountability a signature issue, from combating discrimination to exposing foreign influence on campus. Now the higher-education lobby is trying to block the release of major foreign-donor names. The administration shouldn’t give in.

Universities receiving federal funds have been required by law since 1986 to report foreign gifts and contracts totaling $250,000 or more annually. They haven’t always done so. The first Trump administration uncovered nearly $6.5 billion in foreign gifts and contracts universities failed to disclose. The Biden administration failed to open any foreign-funding investigations, according to a September 2024 report from the House Select Committee on China. The second Trump administration restored enforcement and launched a public dashboard for reported foreign funding.

The disclosures show what’s at stake. In 2025 universities reported more than 8,300 foreign gifts and contracts, worth $5.2 billion, including $1.1 billion from Qatar and $528 million from China. The Education Department has identified roughly $380 million in historical university transactions with entities flagged by the U.S. government. That includes $158 million involving companies on the Defense Department’s Section 1286 list, which identifies foreign institutions and talent programs “confirmed to be engaging in activities that threaten U.S. national security interests.” Another $193 million involves entities on the Commerce Department’s Entity List, which restricts access to sensitive U.S. technology. Most of the flagged entities are Chinese, including organizations tied to Beijing’s military and nuclear program.

All foreign donors and contracting parties should be identified. In July the Education Department promised to publish “the names of all foreign sources from prior reporting cycles.” Yet it has repeatedly delayed doing so as higher-education groups press to keep those identities from public view.

Keep pushing. There’s no good reason for foreign influence-buying to be kept secret.

ARIZONA DIDN’T MAKE THE CUT?

The two countries also finalized a smaller, supplementary contract, valued at 26 million euros, for Israel to provide Greece with drone dome systems.”

STACY MCCAIN: Police Bodycam Video Shows Response to Antifa Terror Attack on Texas ICE Facility.

Within 15 minutes of the shooting that wounded Lt. Gross, one of his fellow officers deduced that this was a “coordinated terror attack” on the ICE facility. Contrary to what defenders of the suspects claimed, their intentions were not peaceful. Benjamin Song has been described as a “charismatic” leader of this particular Antifa cell, and we may surmise that he supplied his comrades with this “cover story,” wherein they claimed to have no idea about the planned violence. But how is it that these allegedly peaceful protesters were unaware of Song’s plans, when they rode from Dallas to Praireland in a van full of guns and ammo?

LIGHTNING DEAL: Commercial Deep Fryer. #CommissionEarned

IT’S GOOD TO BE THE NOMENKLATURA: Troy Jackson Cosponsored Bill Sending Millions of Taxpayer Dollars to His Son’s Lobbying Client.

Chace Jackson’s arrangement with the academy was unusual. He served as the legislative designee while simultaneously representing corporate clients as a lobbyist for the Resurgam Group, the “full service lobbying” firm founded by his father’s former chief of staff and current campaign adviser, B.J. McCollister. State agencies in Maine are required to appoint full-time employees as legislative designees to avoid retaining pricey outside firms for state-level lobbying. The University of Maine’s legislative designee, for example, is its chief governmental affairs officer, Samantha Warren, who has held the role for nearly a decade and has not worked as an outside lobbyist during that time. None of the more than 300 active legislative designees, in fact, are registered lobbyists with outside firms, according to a Free Beacon review.

That the bill passed the Maine Senate but failed to become law came as a pleasant surprise.

MI ATTORNEY GENERAL TO JEWS: Sacrifice Your Very Existence to Elect Democrats.

Have Democrats settled on their argument to Jews for why they should vote for Abdul El-Sayed, despite the fact that he seems content to have them killed in large numbers by Islamists?

Apparently so, and that argument is that Abdul El-Sayed will save the world from global warming.

I first noticed this line of argumentation when Peter Beinart, a Jew himself, argued that voting for El-Sayed was a vote to save the world from burning to a cinder due to global warming.

He, at least, argued that saving the world meant saving Jews too, so that in a larger sense it was a vote for self-defense in a larger sense than just defending Jews from Islamists. By saving the world, they are also saving themselves.

Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel, also a Jew, goes even further. She is arguing to her fellow religionists that they should be willing to suffer a genocide in order to save the world from global warming.

No, I am not kidding.

Back in 2006, Julia Gorin observed in the Christian Science Monitor that, “It’s a peculiar thing that as the threat of global terrorism reaches a crescendo, so apparently does the threat of global warming – at least that’s what some would have us believe:”

Tough language is borrowed from the war on terror and applied to the war on weather. “I really consider this a national security issue,” says celebrity activist and “An Inconvenient Truth” producer Laurie David. “Truth” star Al Gore calls global warming a “planetary emergency.” Bill Clinton’s first worry is climate change: “It’s the only thing that I believe has the power to fundamentally end the march of civilization as we know it.”

Freud called it displacement. People fixate on the environment when they can’t deal with real threats. Combating the climate gives nonhawks a chance to look tough. They can flex their muscle for Mother Nature, take a preemptive strike at an SUV. Forget the Patriot Act, it’s Kyoto that’ll save you.

That’s why in 2004 we got “The Day After Tomorrow” – so we could worry about junk science that may or may not kill us in 1,000 years instead of the people who really are trying to kill us the day after tomorrow.

In order to thread the needle in Michigan, Nessel is taking that theory to absurd conclusions:
