ICYMI: Affirmative Action’s Demise and Higher Education: Fruits of a credibility collapse.

REASON TV: The Lab Leak Deception. (Bumped).

IT IS PERHAPS FITTING THAT SO MANY STUDENTS’ FIRST ENCOUNTER WITH HIGHER EDUCATION IS A CORRUPT LIE: I Teach at an Elite College. Here’s a Look Inside the Racial Gaming of Admissions. “The Chinese and Korean kids wanted to know how to make their application materials seem less Chinese or Korean. The rich white kids wanted to know ways to seem less rich and less white. The Black kids wanted to make sure they came across as Black enough. Ditto for the Latino and Middle Eastern kids. Seemingly everyone I interacted with as a tutor — white or brown, rich or poor, student or parent — believed that getting into an elite college required what I came to call racial gamification. For these students, the college admissions process had been reduced to performance art, in which they were tasked with either minimizing or maximizing their identity.”

UPDATE:

ABC brought in an incoming Brown University student during their Special Report to speak out in favor of the Supreme Court ruling on affirmative action.

ANOTHER UPDATE: Affirmative action supporter: It has created ‘a warped and race-obsessed American university culture.’ Analysis: True.

I ASSUME THE WHITE HOUSE IS ACTUALLY HOPING THAT DEMONIZATION OF THE GOP CANDIDATE, SOME MANUFACTURED CRISIS, AND A LITTLE CHEATING WILL GET HIM REELECTED: The Bidenomics smokescreen won’t help the president.

Here is the truth about the Biden economy: it is barely growing (real growth in the last quarter was 1.1 percent) despite massive federal stimulus. Trillions in spending have thrust our nation’s debt and deficits into the red zone and kicked off inflation, driving real wages lower for 26 consecutive months. Inflation hitting a 40-year high required one of the largest-ever increases in interest rates, which in turned caused three of the biggest bank failures in our nation’s history.

In addition to huge spending, any number of Biden policies, including the intentional squashing of our fossil fuels industries, the “Buy American at any price” union favoritism and the crushing ramp-up in business regulations, have spurred inflation. That is the nut of Bidenomics.

White House spokesperson Olivia Dalton describes Biden’s economic policies as “incredibly popular.” Like most of Biden’s pitch, that is simply not true; RealClearPolitics places the average of his approval ratings on the economy at a minus 17, with 38 percent approving and 57 percent disapproving.

A Gallup poll showed a slight uptick in June in how Americans view their economic conditions, but it remained in deeply negative territory at -32. Only 19 percent rate the economy as excellent or good, compared to 44 percent who say it is poor. Problematic for Biden: Independents as well as Republicans are sour on the economy, and more than two-thirds of that critical group say it is getting worse.

Meanwhile, the press is lying about wage growth.

CANCEL CULTURE IS REAL: I Was ‘Canceled’ for a Joke.

In 2022 and 2023 I was ranked the Number 1 Comedian in Singapore, but now the entire country from ministers to netizens was turning its back on me.

The harassment had also intensified. Multiple attempts were made to hack my socials, my personal information was exposed, the Comedy Cellar website was hacked, and every venue I had ever worked at was review-bombed and threatened with strong-arming them into not working with me.

IBM called to cancel me for a series of broadcasts I have done for their American and European offices every quarter for the past 2 years because their Malaysian office was unhappy with my joke. A New York comedy club told me that I could no longer be on a show I was previously booked for.

A full-on war was being waged against my mental health and my livelihood. People advised me to just apologize, saying: “Dave Chappelle can afford to not apologize, you can’t.”

Yet instead of folding, the ferociousness of the attack made me more determined to stand firm. I was the latest example in a wave of physical or cyber violence being exacted upon comedians for simply doing our jobs, and I was tired of it.

Read the whole thing.

I’m sorry but it’s f*** hysterical that this white woman falsely claimed to be a person of color for years — using that bogus distinction to her personal & professional advantage — and just this week we discovered she’s actually the descendant of slave owners. Chefs’ kiss 🤌 https://t.co/gaSSxUDxPq

And:

You literally filled out forms by your own hand where you cited “American Indian” as your race at U of Pennsylvania, Harvard, the Assoc of American Law Schools, & your 1986 Texas bar registration card. They falsely advertised you as a minority in faculty directories. Sit down. https://t.co/N47oxDwly1

To be fair, they’re at war with the very concept of “normal.”

Plus: “Fear not, friends, if you object to ‘bonus hole’ you can substitute the more euphonious “front hole” without losing clarity. Your doctor will understand that too.”
