HE’S NOT WRONG:

ANTI-GUNNERS’ LAWSUIT AGAINST ARMSLIST FAILS IN WISCONSIN SUPREME COURT. The court found it was barred by Section 230. That’s the right answer, but I’ll bet the old Shirley Abrahamson Wisconsin Court would have found a way to rule against the gun seller.

HIGHER EDUCATION BUBBLE UPDATE: Student’s claim professor charged for recommendation letter goes viral. “Along with the tweet was a screenshot of an email in which a person said to be a professor said he charges $20 per recommendation letter.”

It’s probably a hoax. But these days, who knows?

Well, to be fair, Chavez’s family and hangers-on made plenty of gains. But that’s how socialism works. Talk about equality while cementing a privileged class that loots the country and leaves everyone else poor.

TELEVISION HISTORY: The Remarkable Story of a Woman Who Preserved Over 30 Years of TV History.

The tapes are not in chronological order, or really any order at all. They got a little jumbled as they were transferred. First recorded in Marion Stokes’s home in the Barclay Condominiums in Rittenhouse Square in Philadelphia, the tapes had been distributed among nine additional apartments she purchased solely for storage purposes during her life. Later, they passed on to her children, into storage, and finally to the California-based archive. Although no one knew it at the time, the recordings Stokes made from 1975 until her death in 2012 are the only comprehensive collection preserving this period in television media history.

In 1975, Stokes got a Betamax magnetic videotape recorder and began recording bits of sitcoms, science documentaries, and political news coverage. From the outset of the Iran Hostage Crisis on November 4, 1979, “she hit record and she never stopped,” said her son Michael Metelits in Recorder: The Marion Stokes Project, a newly released documentary about his mother and the archival project that became her life’s work.

“She was interested in access to information, documenting media, making sure people had the information they needed to make good decisions,” says the film’s director, Matt Wolf.

Glad someone did this.

TRINITY COLLEGE HITS A NEW LOW: This week, after Trinity’s student government rejected the student Churchill Club because of its focus on Western civilization, allegedly sinister conservative “rhetoric,” etc., administrators recognized the club so it could at least reserve space, even if it would still not be treated equally in terms of funding. Today, the student government went ballistic over the issue, launching a Change.org petition (nearly 700 signatures so far!) demanding that its power to engage in malicious and discriminatory censorship be respected. It even scheduled an actual, physical protest against the ability of students to disagree with the campus political orthodoxy.

FIRE has launched an email campaign aimed at stiffening the spine of Trinity administrators in the face of these nauseating demands for censorship. Please feel free to let Trinity’s president know your opinion – and if you know any Trinity alums, please pass it on!

JAMES LILEKS: Minneapolis Star Tribune publishes op-ed that argues that not changing the names of buildings away from those who committed doubleplus ungood crimethink in the past is Orwellian. “So: If you decline to rewrite the past to fit the ideas of the present, that’s Orwellian. Also, you’re a Nazi.”

There is no end point that will satisfy the person who is more concerned than the author. The author may believe he represents the point of rational, balanced, necessary concern, but people who come later — say, tomorrow, or the day after — will regard him with pity for not realizing how much more work had to be done. Must be done.

As Brandon Morse of RedState notes, “The Ocasio-Cortez Comic Has a Very Disturbing Depiction of Nancy Pelosi.” And someone obviously based on Dana Loesch, complete with “NRA” emblazoned in red on her black costume. Curiously though, while Pelosi is “supposed to be a good guy, and she looks creepy as hell…Loesch is supposed to be evil and actually looks pretty fierce.”

All of which conclusively proves two things:

1. We are not living in the Matrix, as the computers and robots that created it could never conceive of anything this staggeringly juvenile, and:
2. As Glenn has noted, “getting Reps. Ocasio-Cortez, Tlaib, and Omar elected was Roger Stone’s finest dirty trick.”

MOST USELESS PARLIAMENT SINCE THE RUMP: Not content with betraying Brexit voters, the British parliament has just passed a motion declaring a “climate emergency,” a key demand of the law-breaking Extinction Rebellion movement that has disrupted the lives of thousands of Londoners over the past couple of weeks. This pathetic shower will bow to Brussels bullying and climate clamor, but not to the democratically-expressed wishes of 17 million people. As someone once said, “You have sat too long for any good you have been doing lately… Depart, I say; and let us have done with you. In the name of God, go!”
