HONG KONG’S BALLOTS CHALLENGE CHAIRMAN MAO’S GUN BARRELS:

The Hong Kong pro-democracy movement’s overwhelming Nov. 24 election victory demonstrates that the city’s brave citizens disdain Mao Zedong’s political ditties almost as much as they scorn the crooked Chinese Communist Party tyranny the mass-murdering former chairman created.

Mao, who fancied himself a poet and philosopher, declared that political power grows from the barrel of a gun. From the Soviet Kremlin to the University of California, Berkeley to Jane Fonda, the global left waved Mao’s Little Red Book, applauded his so-called “thoughts” and proclaimed radical Marxism to be humanity’s future.

Hong Kong’s 2019 protests and the recent district election results are actions –deeds, not words — that directly challenge Mao’s gun barrel maxim and lay claim to a future where political power expresses the will of free people.

MY USA TODAY COLUMN: Donald Trump’s Invisible Support Army — Of Democrats. “All the Democrats had to do was not be crazy, and they couldn’t even do that. They started out after the last election demanding that Donald Trump not be ‘normalized’ as president — and then proceeded to act as abnormally as possible. Weirdly, this strategy seems to be backfiring.”

KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEF: Sexist Dems Are Souring On Fauxcahontas.

With Warren moving to the bottom of the top tier and Harris having exited it permanently, the top is heavy with Y chromosomes.

Whiter than white Y chromosomes.

The Democrats constantly revel in their diversity and appeal to youth. Their flying monkeys in the media never let us forget about it. They have a chance in this election to make all of that mean something but it’s not playing out that way. It really never was going to. I’ve been having fun dragging them about this since earlier in the year.

They’ve reached a point of intersectionality cross-cancelation, from which only a straight white male can emerge.

FEAR OF IDEAS IS A HALLMARK OF EXCESSIVE PRIVILEGE: Heather Mac Donald: Why Are College Students So Afraid Of Me?

Few things upset American college students more than being told they aren’t oppressed. I recently spoke at the College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, Mass. I argued that American undergraduates are among the most privileged individuals in history by virtue of their unfettered access to knowledge. Far from being discriminated against, students are surrounded by well-meaning faculty who want all of them to succeed.

About 15 minutes into my talk, as I was discussing Renaissance humanism, a majority of the audience in the packed auditorium stood up and started chanting: “My oppression is not a delusion!” The chanters then declared that my sexism, racism and homophobia weren’t welcome on campus. “You are not welcome,” they added, as if I didn’t know.

The protesters drowned out my response before filing slowly out of the room, still loudly announcing their victimhood and leaving dozens of seats empty that could have been filled by students who had been turned away for lack of space. (The protesters had hoped to occupy the entire auditorium before vacating it, so no one else could hear me speak.)

In a subsequent open letter, a senior claimed that I came to Holy Cross to “discredit, humiliate, and deny the existence of minority students.” In fact, I came to urge the entire student body to seize their boundless opportunities for learning with joy and gratitude.

The maudlin self-pity on display at Holy Cross doesn’t arise spontaneously. It is actively cultivated by adults on campus. A few days before the Holy Cross protest, faculty and administrators at Bucknell University in Lewisburg, Pa., convened a therapeutic “scholars” panel to take place during another talk of mine. The goal was to inoculate the university against the violence that I allegedly represented.

Bucknell’s interpersonal violence prevention coordinator; the director of its Women’s Resource Center; the interim associate provost for diversity, equity, and inclusion; a women’s and gender studies professor; and an economics professor discussed rape culture, trauma and racism. Students and faculty were then invited to join in painting “self-care” rocks.

This craft activity, in which participants write feel-good messages on stones, was originally designed for K-5 classrooms. It may not be what parents paying Bucknell’s $72,000 annual tuition and fees had in mind.

Weird that people are beginning to wonder if higher education is a value proposition.
