WELL, IT’S A HOSTILE ENVIRONMENT: Men say ‘meh’ to college. “Thirty-nine percent of male high school graduates are enrolled in college now, down from 47 percent in 2011, Fry reports. Forty-eight percent of female high school graduates are enrolled in college, down from 48 percent. The gender gap in college-going is widest for white high school graduates, Pew reports.”

The hate has consequences.

THESE ARE THE CRAZY YEARS: The rise of “Multiracial Whiteness.”

And it’s the allegedly smart people — academics, mostly, and some journalists and pundits — who are making them crazy.

THE WAY THINGS WORK IN THE CRAZY YEARS: “Democrats out to save democracy long for a solution to Donald Trump that is anything other than defeating him democratically. The judiciary is supposed to swoop in and rescue Democrats from the task of winning the votes of the people.”

Well, they’re still in the process of dissolving the people and forming another.

SORRY, JOE:

You gotta feel for the Big Guy. He tried buying them off and got Oct 7. Then he tried holding back Israel in Gaza and got the Red Sea crisis. Maybe he'll go back to trying to buy them off again. He's already got two wars. He doesn't need a third.

THE NEW SPACE RACE: Chinese launch startup Galactic Energy raises $154 million for Pallas-1 reusable rocket.

AMERICAN REFUGEES: Americans Vote Red with Their Feet. “Just-released census data show that migration from blue to red continues.”

That, by the way, is the title of Roger Simon’s book, which will be out in a couple of weeks: American Refugees: The Untold Story of the Mass Migration from Blue to Red States. I ran into a friend at the shooting range the other day: He shooting with a couple of recent (“very conservative” in his words) arrivals from California. If he says they are, they are. And my personal experience is that the folks moving here from elsewhere tend to lean right. This is in contrast to the past, because this migration is as much about politics as about economics, though obviously there’s a lot of overlap.

Anyway, I got an advance copy of Roger’s book a while back, and I highly recommend it.
