WHY IS HIGHER EDUCATION SUCH A CESSPIT OF BIGOTRY? U. Oregon law review accused of rejecting professor’s article because he’s Israeli.
“EQUITY IN SCHOLARSHIP:”
In the humanities, 82% of all published articles get zero citations. Most of these are mediocre pieces by mediocre scholars. Citation justice would require citing these articles as often as the most informative, original, and best written articles. https://t.co/QbjY6T0gf3

LOL. LIKE MOST LEFTIST ICONOGRAPHY, IT’S A LIE.
Agreed, not a very good “depiction” at all. pic.twitter.com/SVKcbzHkc5

CULTURE OF CORRUPTION:
So a Fed governor gets popped for potential mortgage fraud and NOW a Fed president is excusing it by saying mortgage paperwork is too complicated for a Federal Reserve official?!

If you’re not smart enough to get a mortgage, you shouldn’t be a fed governor. And if mortgages are too complicated for fed governors to understand, then the mortgage regulators should all be sacked.
UNINTENTIONALLY HILARIOUS: How European Leaders Studied Trump and Learned to Speak His Language: Officials made concessions and worked to improve relationship with president, seeking to keep trans-Atlantic alliance alive.
“The default setting of the Europeans is to wait, worry and complain,” said Kurt Volker, who was U.S. special representative for Ukraine during Trump’s first term.
“This is the worst instinct possible for dealing with Trump. What you need to do is be positive, do your own homework and make your own proposals and be proactive. I think Monday was a good demonstration of everybody figuring out how to do that.”
In other words, “leaders” should act like leaders, not spoiled children. An idea so crazy it just might work! The whole article is pretty charitable to the Europeans, but it literally boils down to taking some responsibility and displaying absolutely basic political skills.
DON’T FORGET THIS SCANDAL, WHICH IS PROBABLY ALSO A CRIME:
…With Biden effectively abdicating his own responsibility, staffers were allowed to effectively add names to a signed blank page, exercising a presidential power with the level of circumspection of an inter-office memo.

Feels surreal to have an administration that recognizes a problem, takes action, fixes it. Trump 2.0 is a sanity revolution. https://t.co/R7nKgZLt7P

HMM. I WONDER IF THERE ARE SIMILAR EFFECTS FROM THE VACCINE? THEY SAY NOT. Researchers find premature aging in blood vessels of COVID-19 patients.
PDE5 inhibitors tend to have a rejuvenating effect on the vascular endothelium so I wonder if low-dose tadalafil or something might help reverse this?
