GROUPS OF JEWISH STUDENTS SHOULD BE ROAMING THE CAMPUS WITH AXE HANDLES INSTEAD OF COWERING IN THEIR ROOMS: Cornell Lockdown Due to Threats.

Make it expensive to be a Nazi and there will be fewer of them. Don’t believe me? Ask Curtis LeMay. And hey, just a few years ago all the best people were encouraging me to punch a Nazi.

BIDEN’S FREEFALL CONTINUES: “Ordinarily presidents enjoy some upward bump in their approval rating when there is a world crisis such as the new war in Israel, but Biden continues to sink despite his high-profile visit to Israel and Oval Office speech. According to the latest Gallup Poll Biden’s approval rating has fallen four points from 41 percent last month to 37 percent now—an all time low in Gallup’s series.”

To be fair, that’s only because he’s awful.

OPEN THREAD: Ring out the weekend.

IN SHORT, THEY’RE GARBAGE PEOPLE:

CAMPUS INQUISITORS: Harvard’s Double Standard for Free Speech. At the university, you’re free to excuse Hamas’ atrocities and put up murals in Harvard Yard slurring Jews. The Crimson student newspaper will defend your First Amendment rights, and professors will even argue that you deserve to be exempt from criticism. But don’t dare to offend progressives with your research findings, political views or even isolated comments in an interview or blog post.

After the backlash against student groups who blamed Israel for Hamas’ terrorism, the school’s president, Claudine Gay, proclaimed that Harvard protects free speech and academic freedom. Tell that to the scholars with unpopular views who have been denounced, investigated, disinvited, or punished by her and other administrators, and who have endured the Crimson’s outrageous campaigns to slander, silence, sanction, and banish them. My City Journal article details how hard Harvard has been working to earn its ranking from FIRE as America’s worst campus  for free speech.

 

 

USMC ROBOT GOAT: It’s a combat robot goat. The four-legged robot in the photo is carrying an M72 Light Anti-Tank Weapon (LAW). In 2014 Israel ordered 25,000 LAWs. As the 2014 update notes, the LAW is “often used against enemy troops inside bunkers and buildings.” It packs a punch and is light enough to be carried by…an infantryman or a robot goat.

LITTLE WARS AND BIG BIG WARS: America Faces Multi-Front Proxy Warfare

Defeat in detail, a classic military stratagem, occurs when a comparatively weaker combatant secures victory over a more powerful opponent through the piecemeal destruction of the stronger force. The weaker combatant never lets the stronger adversary bring all of its power to bear.

Bit by bit the piecemeal attrition degrades the strong to the point the once-powerful retreats.
