NEWS YOU CAN USE: “If I Just Talk To The Police I Can Clear This Up” — The Dangerous Delusion. “Good people — honest people — tend to think ‘I’ve done nothing wrong, so if I tell the truth now, I can clear this up.’ They think ‘talking can’t hurt me because I haven’t done anything wrong, and because I won’t lie.’ It would be wonderful if that were true, but it’s not.”

THIS IS KINDA WEIRD: Holy water: Democratic congressman drinks from pope’s discarded glass. “As Congress members rushed to touch Pope Francis after Thursday’s historic address on the House floor, Rep. Bob Brady reportedly made a beeline for the podium to swipe the Holy Father’s discarded water glass. The Pennsylvania congressman immediately took a sip out of the glass and brought it back to his office, ABC News reported. . . . His office confirmed that Mr. Brady drank from the water and shared it with members of his staff and his wife, Debra Brady.”

TEACH WOMEN NOT TO LIE ABOUT RAPE: Prosecutor: NHL Rape Accuser’s Mom Lied. “The Illinois district attorney handling the Patrick Kane rape investigation said Friday that a bag found at the accuser’s mother’s home—which prompted allegations of evidence tampering—was really just an ‘elaborate hoax’ by the mother. ‘The evidence in the case wasn’t tampered with nor was it compromised,’ the district attorney said. The drama around the bag included the accuser’s lawyer saying that it had been left anonymously at the mother’s home, and then retracting that claim. The lawyer subsequently resigned after saying that he no longer believed the story spun by the accuser’s mother.”

WHAT CIVILIZATIONAL DECLINE LOOKS LIKE: High school teen who defended a blind classmate who was being beaten by a bully is SUSPENDED and kicked off football team. “The high school junior was hailed as a hero for intervening after he saw the ‘visually impaired’ student being repeatedly hit round the head during lunch break at Huntington Beach High School, California on Wednesday. Footage, filmed by a bystander, shows the teen knocking the bully to the ground with a single punch to stop the attack. . . .No arrest is expected for the intervening teen who has been praised by his peers and online for standing up for his classmate. But his school took a different approach and are believed to have kicked the have-a-go-hero off the football team after he breached their ‘zero-tolerance’ policy on violence.”

KEEPING AMERICA SAFE: President Obama releases 9/11’s “20th hijacker” from Gitmo. His name is Abdul Rahman Shalabi, and he’s considered by DoD to be a “high” risk to U.S. interests. It’s just another impeachable offense, but who really cares? Certainly not the mainstream media.

JOHN HINDERAKER: “Speaker John Boehner’s resignation reflects the fact that virtually every Republican in the United States is disappointed in the Congress. With Republican majorities in both the House and the Senate, it is hard to point to any significant accomplishments in the last eight months. At a minimum, I had expected a Republican Congress to pass a series of popular, conservative measures which the Democrats would be obliged to filibuster (if they had the votes) or veto. Instead, Congress has done little or nothing to put President Obama on the defensive. . . . Let the Democrats try to explain why they have shut down the government in a fit of pique over funding for Planned Parenthood–which is not even a government agency.”

And this, more than anything, explains the Trump phenomenon.

EMILY YOFFE: Sex On Campus: Why the grim portrait painted by the new AAU study does not reflect reality.

Young women are indeed the victims of sexual assault at the hands of young men—on campus and off. These are terrible crimes, and we should urge, and help, those who are victims to report this to the police. But there is a danger when the findings of surveys like AAU’s are treated as proof that vast numbers of female college students are victims of sexual violations. It puts schools under increasing pressure to prove that they are doing something about this alleged epidemic, and this, in turn, has led to the creation of policies that offer little due process, but severe punishment, for men accused of misconduct. Parents of high school students are surely looking at the AAU list as their children make application decisions. The headlines say these parents should be worried about what will happen in college to their daughters. Surveys like this one, and the way they are described in the press, suggest that they need to worry about their sons, too.

AUSTIN BAY: The Greek Lesson: Economic Reality Shatters Political Fantasy. “Here’s the big story. In Greece, we witness another hard example of an old lesson. Economic reality shakes and eventually shatters political fantasy. Fantasy may fade, but denial tends to die hard. All too often, it dies violently.”

THOUGHTS ON BOEHNER’S TENURE: What would Rahm Emanuel have done with Boehner’s job?

I’M DELIGHTED TO SEE LAMAR ALEXANDER giving the Department of Education a hard time over its War On College Men. But while tough questions are nice, I think we need legislation. Would Obama really veto a law giving college students due process? If so, let him.

THIS IS ACTUALLY BETTER: Consumers Are Embracing Full Fat Foods. “Public health authorities have long urged Americans to cut back on foods high in saturated fat like butter, meat and whole milk. But a new report on dietary-fat consumption suggests that the public is increasingly eating more, not less, of these foods.”

Just ask Gary Taubes.
