OPEN THREAD: Make good use of your time here.
DON’T MESS WITH TEXAS:
Earlier: Socialism: If You Build It, They Will Leave. “California added more than 180,000 people when accounting for births and deaths for the 12 month period ending July 1. But when you include people who moved in and out of the state, California lost 39,500. State officials say it is the first time since the 2010 census that more people left California than moved in over the course of a year, contributing to the state’s slowest recorded growth rate since 1900.”

OUR EDUCATED CLASS IS THE WORST: College-Educated Voters Are Ruining American Politics: Political hobbyism is to public affairs what watching SportsCenter is to playing football. “What explains the rise of political hobbyism? One important historical explanation is the culture of comfort that engulfs college-educated white people, a demographic group that is now predominately Democratic.” They live in a coccoon, and want something to give meaning to their lives. If they chose sports, they’d know it was just a hobby. But they choose politics, which makes them feel important, instead of what they really are, which is actually kind of toxic.

WE’RE MOVIN’ ON UP!
DONALD AT DAVOS: Trump teaches a lesson to the crybabies back home.
The president also had some advice for the crybabies and selfish children who disdain to be pleased. Cheerfulness is better than pouting, he noted, recommending that we ‘reject the perennial prophets of doom and their predictions of the apocalypse.’
‘They are the heirs of yesterday’s foolish fortune-tellers…they predicted an overpopulation crisis in the 1960s, mass starvation in the 1970s, and an end of oil in the 1990s. These alarmists always demand the same thing: absolute power to dominate, transform and control every aspect of our lives. We will never let radical socialists destroy our economy, wreck our country, or eradicate our liberty. America will always be the proud, strong and unyielding bastion of freedom.’
All that will be on the test, class, so take careful notes.

THE 21st CENTURY IS NOT TURNING OUT AS I HAD HOPED: Transgender activist Jessica Yaniv charged with assault. “Yaniv could face five years in prison for the charges. Earlier this month, [Canadian journalist Keenan Bexte] posted a video of Yaniv punching him outside of a courthouse. ‘Get away from me,’ Yaniv yelled while hitting Bexte, who was also filming the altercation. The transgender activist has been forced to appear in court over weapons charges after allegedly possessing illegal weapons.”
WHAT THE LEFT WANTS FOR AMERICA: University of Minnesota student jailed in China over tweets. “A University of Minnesota student has been arrested in China and sentenced to six months in prison for tweets he posted while in the United States, according to a Chinese court document viewed by Axios. Some of the tweets contained images deemed to be unflattering portrayals of a ‘national leader.’ Why it matters: The case represents a dramatic escalation of the Chinese government’s attempts to shut down free speech abroad, and a global expansion of a Chinese police campaign a year ago to track down Twitter users in China who posted content critical of the Chinese government.”
This is where all the special “hate speech” rules lead. And that’s not an accident.

MARK BAUERLEIN: When Will Conservatives Understand That It’s Not a Contest of Ideas? “Conservatives who appeal to liberal ideals in the context of existing institutions, be they the longstanding mores of cooperation in the Senate or academic freedom in the university, are beating their heads against a wall. Are they still naïve enough to assume that Senate decorum is enough to restrain an identity politician such as Senator Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii)?”
