KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEF: Today We’re Gonna Party Like It’s 2019. “Colorado has 3,000 people a day applying for background checks,” I was told. “The backlog is pretty bad.”
GEORGETOWN’S KNEE-JERK FIRING OF A PROFESSOR HAS BAD CONSEQUENCES FOR BLACK STUDENTS: “Do Black students receive lower grades in law school? If so, why? It has now become dangerous to ask those questions. And that’s very bad news for anyone who cares about systemic racism — or freedom of speech — in the United States. We’ll never solve America’s glaring racial inequities unless we can also talk about them.”
The goal isn’t to “solve” anything, it’s to give people a shot of self-righteous dopamine. Nothing in the “woke” project is about making the actual lives of actual black people better.
YOU KNEW IT: Joe Schoffstall, with help from Matthew Foldi, exposes the left-wing money machine behind Fix Our Senate, the “grassroots” campaign to blow up the filibuster.

SARAH HOYT’S SHOCKED FACE HAS SUFFERED A BREAKDOWN DUE TO EXHAUSTION: Biden aides had ties to large tech companies, disclosures show.
LIBEL WIN: Project Veritas vs. New York Times. “The New York Times is a disgrace to journalism.

In my Rethinking Libel in the 21st Century, I offer some ways courts can fix current libel law, without even having to overturn New York Times v. Sullivan.
ABOUT THAT ‘AMERICAN COMPASS’ LABOR MOVEMENT: Capital Research Center’s (CRC) Michael Watson, intrigued by Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) supporting the unionization movement within Amazon, did some digging into American Compass and found a couple of major Lefty funding outfits.
J. CHRISTIAN ADAMS: Who Actually Broke the Law Regarding the Trump-Georgia Election Phone Call? “Georgia might absolve the person actually running the tape machine, but it also criminalizes in a stand-alone law the act of giving the tape (or electronic file) to a third party.”
So who gave the tape to the Washington Post?
Plus: “Had President Donald Trump been the one to record the conversation with Georgia election officials and then he or his staff released it to PJ Media or Breitbart, we all know what Amy Gardner’s lede would be at the Washington Post. We all know that CNN would have offered wall-to-wall coverage on Georgia’s prohibition on selling or giving recorded wire conversations to third parties. I’d wager even Amy Gardner knows it.”
THE “WELCOME WAGON” PROJECT ISN’T JUST ABOUT MONEY: REASONS PEOPLE ARE MOVING FROM LOS ANGELES TO DALLAS — MORE IMPORTANT THAN ESCAPING HIGHER TAXES.
