ANALYSIS: TRUE. Liz Peek: Trump Has One Card to Play and He Better Play it Now—The Economy.

MUHAMMAD ALI, THE NATION OF ISLAM, AND OUR NATIONAL CONCUSSION.

IT’S COME TO THIS:

As always, IowaHawk nails it:

THEY’D NEVER BUY THESE STUDIES IF THEY WERE AIMED AT WOMEN OR MINORITIES: No, half of college athletes are not rapists.

Another day, another dubious study shared without critical thought throughout a media desperate to prove rape and sexism are everywhere.

This time, a small-scale, online survey of undergraduate college men at a single Southeastern university is being trumpeted as proof that male athletes are rapists. Some media outlets, like the Washington Post and Inside Higher Ed, at least claimed the study showed athletes admitting to “sexual coercion,” which is what the study purported to show. But the Independent went full stop, claiming the study showed “More than half of university sportsmen admit to raping or sexually assaulting women.”

The survey, as with all other surveys purporting to show rampant rape among college students — especially athletes and fraternity members — had some limitations.

It’s just more propaganda fodder in the War On College Men.

OUR BIPOLAR SCHOOL SYSTEM:

Shot: Radicalizing Kindergartners: “Next year, Washington [State] school children as young as five years old will instead be learning about gender fluidity and the differences between gender and sexual identity.”

Chaser: School feared that 9-year-old’s ‘Make America Great Again’ hat could elicit ‘negative emotions.’

FRACK THIS: The Epicenter of America’s Oil Bust Is Drawing Buyers.

Investors hoping for a bargain are buying up oil and gas wells from cash-strapped operators in the state’s Bakken Shale, a bet they will eventually be able to profit off one of the country’s hardest-hit oil plays.

Hundreds of wells have changed hands or are in the process of being sold, state figures show, to a grab bag of fortune seekers ranging from industry experts to first-time wildcatters. They are picking up properties as more established producers scale back or shed assets to pay creditors.

Don’t worry. While this mess gets sorted out, it’s not like the oil is going anywhere.

YES IT IS. IT’S ALSO DISHONEST: State: 75-year estimate for Clinton aides’ emails is ‘not outlandish.’

AND YET THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO CONSIDER THE UNITED NATIONS SOMEHOW MORALLY SUPERIOR: Whistleblower who exposed food-for-child sex among peacekeepers resigns over UN ‘impunity.’ “The UN whistleblower who exposed the rape of children by peacekeepers in Africa has quit his post to protest what he sees as the “complete impunity” of those responsible, he announced in an interview on Tuesday. . . . In July 2014, Mr Kompass leaked a confidential UN report on the sexual abuse of children by peacekeepers in the Central African Republic to prosecutors in France – the former colonial power has a force there – claiming the UN was taking too long to act. A study by independent experts released in December 2015 found “gross institutional failure” by the UN in the way it responded to the abuse allegations. . . . Mr Kompass was suspended for leaking the internal report on the abuse but the independent study exonerated him, IRIN said.”

FORGET BREXIT: Monckton: It’s Time For ‘Texit’ — Texas Should Secede, Thatcher Advisor Says.

In his native Britain, voters are preparing to decide whether they will remain in the European Union.

Here in the United States, Texas just last month considered putting secession on the ballot. The Republican Party of Texas killed the measure.

This week, Monckton — former adviser to British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher — pushed for Texas independence in an exclusive interview with The Daily Caller.

Imagine how bad US employment and economic numbers would look without Texas.

BREXIT: MPs ‘considering using majority’ to keep UK in single market.

Pro-Remain MPs are considering using their Commons majority to keep Britain inside the EU single market if there is a vote for Brexit, the BBC has learned.

The MPs fear a post-Brexit government might negotiate a limited free trade deal with the EU, which they say would damage the UK’s economy.

There is a pro-Remain majority in the House of Commons of 454 MPs to 147.

Perhaps Parliament should dissolve the people and elect a new one.
