IN OTHER NEWS, LA COSA NOSTRA BEGS FBI NOT TO INVESTIGATE AL CAPONE: Colleges beg Department of Education not to investigate Princeton: Amherst College President Carolyn “Biddy” Martin and Wesleyan University President Michael S. Roth co-authored a letter to the U.S. Department of Education. The letter was signed by presidents at more than 80 colleges and universities.

Given that Princeton just paid out a big sex discrimination settlement it’s odd that these fellow academics are defending it. Whatever happened to #MeToo?

KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEF: Despicable Media Just Had Its Busiest Day of Carrying Water for Biden Yet. “The Enemy of the People had their hands full covering for Grandpa Gropes on Wednesday once the New York Post story about the Cocaine Kid broke.

KINSLEY GAFFE: “I Strongly Oppose Anti-Fascism,” Says Far-Left Portland Mayoral Candidate Sarah Iannarone:

When she is asked if she is “Antifa,” Iannarone replied, “Antifa is not anything more than an idea, that’s what vice president Biden explained to us. It’s people who oppose anti-fascism. And I strongly oppose anti-fascism and I adopt and implement peaceful responses to that. And that is how I describe my position on this issue.”

Gaffe occurs at about the one minute mark in this video:

“This comes at a time when Iannarone leads incumbent Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler (D) by double digits.” Incidentally, as John Sexton noted at Hot Air on Friday, “She’s a fan of Stalin and Mao too.”

Paraphrasing Mencken, Steve quipped here last week that Portland is about to get it “gooder and harder.”
