More people were sentenced in Rotherham for the summer riots than for decades-long rape gangs in the town.
Starmer’s called for countless national inquiries – but not one into rape gangs.

WHEN YOU REALIZE THAT ENVIRONMENTALISTS BASICALLY WANT TO MAKE LIFE WORSE FOR NORMAL PEOPLE, EVERYTHING MAKES SENSE.
🚨#BREAKING: Environmentalists are now SUING the Trump Administration for allowing timber companies to clear forest floors of fallen trees in Western North Carolina.
The lumber from the trees could be used to rebuild homes cheaper…

INFLATION FALLS:
Incredible news. Inflation even lower than expected! https://t.co/QBeHSYhldb
— JD Vance (@JDVance) April 10, 2025
Prediction: Near-instant pivot from “Trump promised to lower inflation, where’s progress?” to “Ackshually, low inflation is bad.”
That said, a tip-over to actual deflation would be bad, since deflation hurts debtors more than creditors, and the United States is the world’s biggest debtor.
HOLLY MATHNERD: Idea for Graduation Season Consideration: Don’t send your kids to college. I have a nephew who’s 22. Went to welding school instead of college. Now making close to six figures, and heading for nuclear-welding training where he’ll make well into six figures. Likes the work, likes the people, has a good reputation for quality and punctuality, and a delightful fiancee.
HUH. I WONDER WHY THAT WOULD BE?

DON SURBER: World cheers Trump’s 10% tariff: On Wednesday, he created Wall Street’s biggest day in 24 years. “Watching the Trump’s Tariff War from afar, I find it hilarious. He has managed in the past week to get the world to accept a 10% tariff on everything while triggering Red China to engage in an actual tariff war that is financially suicidal for the communist regime. The headline from Never Trumpland was ‘Trump Caves on Tariffs After Insisting They Were Essential.’ These clowns must work for minimum wage because their negotiating skills are nonexistent.”

CHRIS BRAY: Eisgruber Pretends (But Arguments Work Better When They’re True).
On NPR this week — the broadcast version of The Atlantic, the place for utterly conventional thought from people who are always wrong — a deeply concerned interviewer sat down with the president of Princeton University, Christopher Eisgruber, to talk about the vicious monster Trump’s anti-intellectual assault on the modern research university. The discussion became quaint immediately, as Eisgruber spooled out a depiction of the university as a great citadel of knowledge, a castle of wisdom where disinterested experts fearlessly seek out only the purest expressions of truth, striving selflessly as servants to the people . . . Actual research: How lesbians feel about Dawson’s Creek. Universities have been hollowed out, are being hollowed out, and have been politicized. You can’t set foot on a campus and not see the centrality of left-focused activism to academic culture. Which is fine, to a point, and everybody gets to believe what they want to believe, although part two of that argument is that no one has a right to other people’s money. But for crying out loud, don’t pretend that academia is an open culture engaged in a disinterested pursuit of truth, and don’t pretend that suddenly — suddenly, for the first time ever! — Donald Trump is politicizing the modern American university. The modern American university is politicized. We know. It’s kind of not that hard to figure out.
And he has the poster.
FAT CHANCE: Macron Should Be a Statesman and Pardon Le Pen.
TRUE:
Any nation that can’t transport thousands of drones across oceans – and can’t reload and refuel them with sealift – won’t just fall behind, it’ll vanish from the battlefield. Logistics wins wars. https://t.co/HP9SsgCXvE

Of all the many media hoaxes, the one I laugh about the most was when the New York Times assured us "anonymous" was a HUGE, Cabinet Secretary-level figure and it turned out that they were 1000% lying and it was Miles Taylor, IV.

Trump just forced 75+ countries to the negotiating table to fix our trade deficits on a tight timeline
That’s a huge win
