MARK MIDDLETON, LIKE JEFFREY EPSTEIN, DIDN’T KILL HIMSELF: Family of Bill Clinton advisor who admitted Jeffrey Epstein into White House seven times has blocked release of files detailing the death scene after he was found hanging from a tree with a shotgun blast at a ranch 30 miles from his home. Well, the family doesn’t want to commit suicide by being shot in the back of the head.

We joke about this stuff, but we really do live under a banana-republic gangster government, where questionable “suicides” are a common occurrence.

OH, THAT LIBERAL FASCISM: AOC’s PAC funneled thousands to org financing disruptive climate protest groups.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s political action committee has passed thousands of dollars to an environmental organization funding disruptive climate protest groups, records reviewed by Fox News Digital show.

Courage to Change, the New York Democrat’s PAC, directed a $9,000 donation to the Los Angeles-based Climate Emergency Fund (CEF) in the fall of 2021, according to federal filings. The CEF finances far-left groups worldwide that undertake radical tactics to draw attention to what they say is a rapidly warming planet on the brink of destruction if aggressive policies are not pursued.

“We’re in this kind of surreal situation in which scientists are telling us this is the point of no return,” Margaret Klein Salamon, CEF’s executive director, previously said in a statement shared with Fox News Digital. “And yet all of our institutions — they’re all just marching forward with a little bit of window dressing talk about sustainability, but basically continuing as usual.”

“So these activists intervene and they say, ‘Things are not normal. They’re so bad that I’m gonna do this crazy thing and glue myself to a painting or a frame,'” Salamon continued. “It only makes sense because of how absolutely terrible the climate emergency is.”

Far from the first time AOC has dabbled with those who used violent methods, not to mention the F-word.

HIGHER EDUCATION BUBBLE UPDATE: “Colorado’s top public university says that people should address new acquaintances as transgender until otherwise instructed and that ignoring someone’s pronouns is ‘an act of violence.'”

No it isn’t, and saying otherwise doesn’t change anything.

Also, University DEI administrators are mostly garbage. That you can assume up front.

DISPATCHES FROM WEIMAR AMERICA: University of Colorado: Assume Everyone Is Trans.

Colorado’s top public university says that people should address new acquaintances as transgender until otherwise instructed and that ignoring someone’s pronouns is “an act of violence.”

“Sometimes people just don’t want to share their pronouns and that’s fine,” says the University of Colorado Boulder’s “pronouns” guide. “Usually it’s safe to use they/them/theirs unless that person tells you otherwise.”

“It is never safe* to assume someone’s gender and living a life where people will naturally assume the correct pronouns for you is a privilege that not everyone experiences,” the guide says.

These are just some of the directions from University of Colorado Boulder’s Center for Inclusion and Social Change, which also claims that terms like “ze” and “zir” are legitimate ways to refer to people. Boulder is the flagship University of Colorado campus and also the largest, with more than 36,000 students.

Earlier: The Return of Paganism. As G.K. Chesterton never actually wrote, “When a man ceases to believe in God, it’s not that he believes in nothing, it’s that he’ll believe in anything.”

* It sure isn’t, when the recently aborted “Trans Day of Vengeance” was “originally called the Trans Day of Visibility rally. However, the name change happened after the mass murder by a trans shooter in Nashville.” Speaking of whom, when do we get to see that shooter’s manifesto?

JOURNALISM IN TODAY’S AMERICA:

Why it matters: America’s journalists are out of control. They are a threat to themselves. They threaten the health and safety of innocent civilians. They are a menace to society. They barely survived former president Donald Trump’s first term as president. If Trump wins again in 2024, they will inevitably combust in fits of self-righteous rage.

True.

OKAY, IT’S TIME TO STOP BUYING NARRATIVES: A seventeen year old is not a child. And a “seventeen year old” that came over the border, is probably 30, in point of fact.
