THEY TOLD ME IF DONALD TRUMP WERE ELECTED PRESIDENT, WE’D SEE OPEN DISCRIMINATION AGAINST UNPOPULAR RELIGIOUS GROUPS. AND THEY WERE RIGHT! I was forced out of my PhD program because of my open faith in Jesus Christ. Here’s my story.

#JOURNALISM: Think of them as lying liars who lie to advance a political narrative and you won’t go far wrong.
FROM . . . TOM FRIEDMAN? China Deserves Donald Trump: It took a human wrecking ball to get China’s attention.
Trump’s a human wrecking ball for a lot of things, and he was elected because a lot of things need wrecking.
THINGS AREN’T THIS BAD: On this day in 1856, Rep. Preston Brooks (D-S.C.) beat Senator Charles Sumner (R-Mass.) nearly to death on the floor of the U.S Senate. As nasty as things are, they aren’t that nasty. (Not yet anyway.)
OPEN THREAD: You know, as usual.
GOOD: China Surveillance Tycoons Lose Billions From Threat of U.S. Sanctions. Frankly, I hope the same happens to U.S. surveillance tycoons.
THE ARROGANCE AND CONDESCENSION ARE SURE TO BRING IN VOTES: Juncker lashes out at ‘stupid nationalists’ on eve of European elections.

CULTURE OF CORRUPTION: Airport bidding’s unclaimed baggage. “The Cuomo administration awarded 54 acres of land rights to a bidder. Suddenly, that award disappeared. It was re-bid by new agency – and went to one of Cuomo’s biggest donors, Adam Katz, who’s flown Cuomo on his luxury private jets a dozen times.”
FLASHBACK: Ana Navarro Compares Stormy Daniels’ Lawyer Michael Avenatti to the Holy Spirit.
She’s just one of many in the MSM who lionized Avenatti: That Time the Media Dubbed Michael Avenatti ‘Savior of the Republic:’
FLASHBACK: Castro, Chavez, and ‘bad luck.’
THE SECRET BALLOT WAS AN AUSTRALIAN INNOVATION: It’s interesting that the polls for the recent election in Australia were wrong. Maybe some voters felt uncomfortable telling pollsters whom they intended to vote for. (Or maybe there were other reasons for the error.) But it is worth pointing out that Australia was the home of the secret ballot in the 1850s. Once commonly known in the USA as the “Australian ballot,” it was not the rule in this country until decades after that.
SCHADENFREUDEMANIA: Avenatti’s “charged with ripping off both Nike and Stormy Daniels? That’s perfect: ‘Just Do It’ and ‘Just Do Me,’” Jim Treacher writes at the PJ Mothership, and he’s just getting started: Michael Avenatti Is in Profonda Merda.
THE RETURN OF ASSASSINATION FASCINATION: Cannes Poster Features First Lady Carrying Donald Trump’s Severed Head.
Remember that poor bastard who made The Innocence of Muslims? You remember, he was Obama’s patsy for the September 11, 2012, Benghazi attack where four Americans were left to die, including our ambassador. Remember how Obama needed to blame anyone but himself and Hillary for the attack, so this poor guy was arrested in the middle of the night and sentenced to a year in prison.
Here’s how THR defended his artistic freedom… Oh, wait, THR never did.
When the left does it, it’s art; when the right does it, it’s hate, bigotry, and violence.
But to defend its championing of When Women Rule the World, THR spends a couple opening paragraphs praising comedienne Kathy Griffin for publishing that photo two years ago where she also carried Trump’s bloody and severed head.
“What she did,” THR informs us, “was kickstart a politically charged dialogue that spread beyond the world of comedy that begged the question: How far is too far?”
Oh, my, yes — a vital “how far is too far” debate from the same Hollywood Reporter that has said nothing in defense of those being buried alive during this fascist woke-wave hitting Hollywood and the tech world.

UNIVERSAL BASIC INCOME: An old idea, wrong as ever.

ONCE AGAIN, THE NARRATIVE IS WRONG: Boys were more likely to report being victims of physical neglect, sexual abuse and violence, the study found. “The study from Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health looked at childhood traumas suffered by 1,284 adolescents aged 10 to 14 in more than a dozen low-income urban settings around the world, such as the United States, China, the United Kingdom, Egypt and Bolivia. Overall, 46 per cent of young adolescents reported experiencing violence, 38 per cent said they suffered emotional neglect and 29 per cent experienced physical neglect. Boys, however, were more likely to report being victims of physical neglect, sexual abuse and violence.”
Plus: “For the past six years, a consortium of 15 countries led by the Bloomberg School of Public Health and the World Health Organization has been working on the global early adolescent study. The aim is to understand how gender norms are formed in early adolescence and how they predispose young people to sexual and other health risks. Evidence gathered by the study indicates boys experience as much disadvantage as girls but are more likely to smoke, drink and suffer injury and death in the second decade of life than their female counterparts.”

VIRGINIA CLOWN SHOW UPDATE: Northam’s Medical School: After Extensive Review, We’ve Figured Out . . . Almost Nothing.
Northam’s yearbook photo now ranks alongside the Easter Island statues, the crystal skulls, the Voynich Manuscript, and the Antikythera mechanism as one of those mysterious artifacts that no one on earth can possibly explain. The picture just appeared on his page one day in the ancient era of the mid-1980s, and not even Virginia’s greatest experts can formulate a plausible explanation of how such a racist image could possibly have ended up on the page of a man whose yearbook declared he had the nickname “Coonman.” Clearly, this is the most enigmatic and baffling image to spontaneously appear, without any indication of human activity, since the Shroud of Turin.
As Jim Geraghty writes, “We all have to stand up to racism . . . unless, you know, it might jeopardize the election chances of one of our alumni; then it’s okay to pretend you didn’t see it.”
