CULTURE OF CORRUPTION — AND COLLUSION:

CULTURE OF CORRUPTION:

DISPATCHES FROM THE EDUCATION APOCALYPSE:

MARK FELTON: The Last Shah—How Iran Changed from Western Ally to Enemy (Video).

“VIOLENT RHETORIC” DOESN’T COME FROM DEMOCRATS, IT’S JUST THEIR “PASSION FOR JUSTICE” BEING EXPRESSED:

I’D NEVER HEARD OF HIM: The Most Brilliant Man You’ve Never Heard Of. “What’s of greater interest is how this extraordinary man with incredible insights into the way the mind works lived such an obscure life.”

FASTER, PLEASE:

IT’S OK TO SAY: “All men are created equal.”

From Just the News:

“A federal judge ordered the University of Oregon to pay $191,000 to Portland State University professor Bruce Gilley to cover his legal fees in a successful First Amendment challenge…”

I LIKE THE CUT OF HIS JIB: Nevada governor breaks his own record with 87 vetoes.

Nevada Gov. Joe Lombardo has broken the state record for most vetoes during a single legislative session with 87.

It’s a record he set himself after the previous session in 2023 when he vetoed 75 bills. Nevada is one of four states where the Legislature meets only during odd-numbered years.

This year Lombardo signed 518 bills into law, and his 10-day window to decide on bills passed on Friday.

Despite all of the noise made around Nevada legislators’ efforts to push bills through the state’s narrow 120-day session window, they still have to make it off the Republican governor’s desk. And the Democratic majorities in the Assembly and Senate don’t have enough seats to override Lombardo’s vetoes.

“I did not take lightly the decision to veto 87 bills,” said Lombardo in a press release. “I do not enjoy using the veto pen, but as Governor, it is my responsibility to protect Nevadans from legislation that goes too far, expands government unnecessarily, or creates unintended consequences that hurt families, businesses, or our economy.”

Mister, we could use a lot more men like Joe Lombardo again.

FASTER, PLEASE: ‘America’s Hypercar:’ The New Chevy Corvette ZR1X Aims to Take Down Ferrari.

The 2025 Corvette ZR1 may already be the fastest rear-wheel-drive car to touch down on our planet: A record-stomping track monster that crushes 60 miles per hour in 2.2 seconds, and whose 233-mph top speed reads like an AI hallucination.

Bucket-list ZR1 laps in May at Circuit of the Americas—the kind of Texas-sized corral this raging bull needs to properly fling itself about—find me chasing the very Corvette engineers who’ve been setting production-car lap records in their spare time; smoking a $1.2-million McLaren Senna, shaming a Porsche 911 GT3 RS.

Stretching its jacked legs on COTA’s back straight, my ZR1 reaches 175 mph, then 178 the next lap. 180 mph feels tantalizingly within reach. The 5.5-liter LT7 screams its titanium-hardened lungs out, flexing more turbo horsepower than the F1 cars that fly past and fill these grandstands. This ‘Vette grips harder than Schwarzenegger on the campaign trail, and it’s not the Terminator you might imagine: It’s communicative, (reasonably) accommodating, and daily drivable, still a Corvette at heart.

And it all costs $178,195 to start, including a $3,000 gas-guzzler tax for a ZR1 that can inhale two gallons of premium unleaded per minute at full power. The drinking problem is real, but you can barely buy a 911 GTS for this much cash; the 532-hp Porsche, with precisely half the ZR1’s 1,064 horses, starts from $167,000.

It certainly looks sharp:
