HANS A. VON SPAKOVSKY: It’s Now 1984 at the University of Michigan.
It’s weird how the dark night of fascism is always descending in Red America, yet lands only in America’s Blue enclaves.
IT’S DIFFERENT WHEN THEY DO IT (CON’T): Trump-slamming Dem’s companies violated Clean Water Act.
Wait until Michelle Obama discovers who she is married to, and his own successful efforts at besting a female presidential candidate in 2008. Wait until CNN breaks that story and their own complicity in his actions!
EBOLA ERUPTS AGAIN IN AFRICA, only now there’s a vaccine.
BECAUSE LEFTIST POLITICS HAS BECOME A RELIGION: Two thousand years waiting for a restoration of Jewish sovereignty in Jerusalem, and for some American Jews, today’s significance is that it gives them a chance to emote their hostility to Trump. Sad!
THIS IS BIG: The U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights has opened an investigation into alleged anti-male discrimination in several Yale University initiatives. “The investigation was launched after Kursat K. Pekgoz, a lecturer at the University of Southern California, alleged in a February 18 complaint that the Yale initiatives provide unfair advantages to women.”
It’s not hard to file a complaint. But I had wondered if anyone was paying attention.

#TIMESUP: Tasha Reign: I Was Assaulted on a Stormy Daniels Porn Set. And She Did Nothing. “The adult actress Tasha Reign alleges that she was groped and harassed on a porn film Daniels directed in November 2017, and that Daniels ultimately sided with her alleged abuser.”
ASKING THE IMPORTANT QUESTIONS: Why Doesn’t Your Husband Want To Have Sex?
SCIENCE! CUNY Lists ‘Zim,’ ‘Ver,’ ‘Eeirself’ as ‘Gender Pronouns.’
$27,423 a year (for in-state residents) seems like an awful lot of money to learn made-up nonsense words.
ALL THIS AND WORLD WAR II:
● Shot:
In a column for the Politico yesterday, Reason editor Michael Moynihan wrote the left had turned into a “a virtual Bletchley Park of racial cryptographers teasing out the sinister motives and subtexts of McCain’s campaign advertising.”
It was a funny line, but it to dismiss it as just hyperbole would be a big mistake. Responding to McCain’s “The One” ad, a Democratic consulting group put out a frightfully lengthy memo deconstructing it. This excerpt will give you the general thrust of it:
* * * * * * * *
That’s right, after the racist charges didn’t stick and then their ridiculous Nazi accusations were ignored, there was only one other place they could go. Obama’s defenders are now accusing McCain of using his campaign ads to call Obama the anti-Christ. Marvel for a second at the absurdity of that. I have no idea what charge the liberal Bletchley Park could make to further discredit themselves, but where there’s a will, there’s a way.

KARENNA GORE: Religious Leaders Should Urge Climate Activism on ‘Moral and Spiritual Level.’
She’s making a religious appeal because they’ve lost the factual debate, but also because “deep ecology” (and the “climate activism” it inspires) is an anti-human religion.

It’s not my column, it’s by Matt Desch of Iridium — I took the week off from column-writing and it was nice — but as I’ve written before, we need better law. And here’s a longer piece (PDF) that Rob Merges and I wrote for the Environmental Law Reporter.

WARMONGERING: YOU’RE DOING IT WRONG. Trump Administration Readying Israeli-Palestinian Peace Plan.
As the United States takes a historic step towards recognizing Jerusalem as Israel’s capitol, a point vehemently protested by Palestinian leaders, the senior administration official told the Free Beacon that this new reality is not being viewed as an impediment to peace.
The United States is in the “late phase,” in fact, of finalizing its peace plan that will be presented to both sides in the coming months.
The plan has been in the works for at least the past year, according to Trump administration officials, and will be presented “when the time is right.”
“We’ve been working hard and want to give the plan the best chance for success,” a senior administration official told the Free Beacon. “We want to get a lasting deal that is livable for both parties.”
Details of the plan are being kept tightly under wraps, but it is expected a public roll out of the peace plan will arrive within the next month to two months, sources said.
With Jerusalem off the table and the rest of the Arab world tired of Palestinian antics — which, to be fair, they subsidized for decades — the prospects for peace have never been better.
