FLASHBACK: “Under capitalism, rich people become powerful. But under socialism, powerful people become rich.”

JOHN LUCAS: Remembering a Little-Known Veteran.

MAYBE THEY DON’T THINK IT’S THEIR COUNTRY ANYMORE: Americans Don’t Want to Fight For Their Country Anymore.

EVERYTHING IS GOING SWIMMINGLY: Dozens of Chinese ships chase Philippine vessels as US renews warning it will defend its treaty ally. “The U.S. State Department renewed a warning that Washington is obligated to defend the Philippines under a 1951 Mutual Defense Treaty if Filipino forces, public vessels or aircraft, including those of its coast guard ‘face an armed attack “anywhere in the South China Sea.'”

THE GOVERNMENT LETS YOU KNOW WHO ITS CLIENTS ARE: ATF Lets Chicago’s Machine-Gun Toting Thugs Slide, Concentrates Instead on Banning Legal AR-15 Rifles.

JOHN LUCAS: Some Snapshots of History: A Look Back at Army Basic Training in 1963.

LIFE IN THE 21ST CENTURY: AZ health officials announce marijuana recall.

EVERYTHING IS GOING SWIMMINGLY: More U.S. military families turning to food banks.

BILL QUICK: You’re Going to Miss Reality When It’s Gone.

INSURRECTION! House committee hearing on campus free speech disrupted by pro-Palestinian protesters.

IT’S NOT A BAD IDEA: Vivek: Campus anti-Semitism shows why we need to ‘shut down’ the Dept of Ed. ”I don’t think the Department of Education should exist. And the federal government has been a source of toxicity for a long time– self-hating gender ideologies, racial ideologies. Now, this is just another example among many of what happens when you have that cancerous bureaucracy.”

THEY DON’T WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW THAT THE LAND WAS PURCHASED, NOT STOLEN: Concord officials look to cover up Massachusetts historic signs due to their ‘offensive’ nature.

UPDATE: A reader writes: “The sign pictured reflects the inconvenient non-narrative-supporting fact that early settlers bought their land from the locals. Who, in the case of the Wampanoags in what is now southeastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island, had made an alliance with the English to strengthen themselves against the threat from the Narragansetts to the west.”

ACTUALLY, THERE’S PROBABLY MORE OPPORTUNITY TO UNDERSTAND THE REAL WORLD IN GAZA THAN IN CAMBRIDGE:

But how could the Gaza teens have known better? Their world was small. It's Hamas supporters in Oxford, Cambridge, Harvard, MIT, Stanford etc who should have known better. They had the brains. They had the connectivity. Why didn't they?

EVERYTHING IS GOING SWIMMINGLY: Buzz: Top Democrat decries Biden’s age, pollster finds ‘Biden voters for Trump.’

SYSTEMIC RACISM: Tennessee Is One Of Several States With Racial Preferences Embedded In State Board Selection Being Challenged After Recent Supreme Court Ruling.

YALE LAW STUDENTS FOR HAMAS: Yale Law School claims to stand for human rights. So why has it been silent about the rampant anti-Semitism on its campus?

WHY IS HIGHER EDUCATION SUCH A CESSPIT OF BIGOTRY AND DISCRIMINATION? Tax Prof Philip Postlewaite Sues Northwestern, Claims $289,000 Salary Is The Result Of Age Discrimination.

WHAT LOST CREDIBILITY DOES: Entirely predictable: More parents don’t want routine vaccination for their kids. “First, let me say, I warned them. In a column for the Free Press, I argued that the CDC was making a mistake adding unproven COVID19 shots to the kids’ vaccine schedule— making parents feel that COVID shot and MMR vaccine are equally important— and this would result in a widespread mistrust in all vaccines.”

OUT: HUMAN SHIELDS. IN: HUMAN SACRIFICES. Palestinian civilian deaths are at the heart of Hamas’s strategy.

THEY’RE TOOLS. THE QUESTION IS, ULTIMATELY, WHOSE? British Police are ‘Giving in to the Mob.’ “Increasingly, Young said, the police are acting as if they’re ‘the paramilitary wing of The Guardian.'”

MARILYN MOSBY: Former top prosecutor for Baltimore convicted in perjury case tied to purchase of Florida homes. “A former top prosecutor for the city of Baltimore was convicted on Thursday of charges that she lied about the finances of a side business to improperly access retirement funds during the COVID-19 pandemic, using the money to buy two Florida homes. A federal jury convicted former Baltimore state’s attorney Marilyn Mosby of two counts of perjury after a trial that started Monday.”

HITLER YOUTH AT MIT: “Where do these people come from? How did they get into MIT, Penn, etc.? Or alternatively, why are they allowed on campus? I don’t think these educational institutions have any idea how terrible they look to the general public. And I don’t think we can begin to calculate the long-range consequences of the utter moral failure of higher education that we are now witnessing.”

We’re going to need to purge a lot of our institutions of this toxic behavior and thought. And we need to purge our society of the disproportionate influence of these toxic institutions.

Look, I'm as all for vibrant campus diversity as the next guy, I just assumed it wouldn't include baying mobs of Hitler Youth banning Jews from entering classrooms
