THE CURRENT POLITICAL ENVIRONMENT SUMMARIZED:
Guy trying to describe how bad Trump is:
“He just shut down a government agency!”
*crowd cheers*
“All the workers are out in the streets crying!”
*crowd cheers more*
“And he’s not done! He’s going to do it more government agencies!”
*crowd goes nuts*

HIGHER EDUCATION BUBBLE UPDATE: Harvard students more focused on extracurriculars than academics: Faculty committee recommends attendance policy after finding few students ‘prioritize their courses.’ “The findings come amid growing skepticism by employers to hire Ivy League graduates, as reports expose grade inflation and students’ struggles to read a single book cover to cover in the course of a four-year undergraduate program.”

GOOD, BECAUSE IT’S VERY UNPOPULAR: The Left won’t let go of woke.
DON SURBER: Trump has frenemies jumping through his hoops.
#JOURNALISM:
Forty-three paragraphs into the NYT's latest hit piece on @elonmusk, the six (!) by-lined reporters reveal that the federal government lost $236 billion to apparent fraud ("improper payments") in 2023 alone. Maybe this isn't the dunk you guys thought it was? pic.twitter.com/7UDVijgVMe

LOL at anyone who pretended Joe Biden was in charge for four years suddenly acting concerned about “shadow government.” https://t.co/j3bYqoBUA8

HE REALLY IS A CARICATURE AT THIS POINT: Father James Martin and the Tired Leftism of the Jesuits.
HAHA: Frank “The End of History” Fukuyama is unhappy with how things are going.
In the year prior to November’s election, there were deep concerns among Donald Trump’s opponents concerning the agenda for attacking the “deep state” that was outlined in detail in the Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025. These plans included resurrecting “Schedule F,” an executive order issued at the end of the first Trump administration that stripped virtually all bureaucrats of their civil service protections and placed them into an “at-will” category that would allow them to be fired without cause. . . .
Well, the new administration took office on January 20, and has now in effect revived Schedule F. What is remarkable is that the mainstream press has failed to pick up on this, or to inform the public of the likely consequences of this move.
Plus: “Consider what this may mean. If Trump hand-picks a new IRS chief, that individual can be pressured by the president to order audits of journalists, CEOs, NGOs and NGO leaders.” Har de har har. We had that throughout the Obama and Biden administrations.
Plus: “DOGE is now acting like a hired gun.” Well, yes. It’s basically there to advise the President on waste and fraud that it finds, which turn out to be copious and shameless. Naturally the establishment doesn’t like this. My take on all these complaints is: You don’t have to sell me, I already voted for him. Or maybe “don’t threaten me with a good time.”

MATT TAIBBI: America’s Smear Machine Put on Trial: A week of heated confirmation hearings served as a referendum on America’s Reputational Death Star. Of course, the dirty and dishonest nature of America’s confirmation process goes back to Advise and Consent. And Allen Drury mocked a press that was not as much better than today’s as you might think.

INDEED HE IS.
You people doxxed a minor for awkwardly smiling. You told the entire world where he went to school. A Disney producer said he wanted to shove him and his friends into a wood chipper.
Trump isn't going to make the left "start to be cruel"
He's going to make you stop. https://t.co/kKfC9WfQwt pic.twitter.com/ul1QgAswJv

I HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU, DEAR READERS:
Six young hyper geniuses now literally have their lives depending on Trump winning it all. Forever.

And that question is, is this part of Elon’s plan? Personally, I think he explained the risks and the target they’d be wearing, and they agreed. It’s also likely, of course, that they were smart enough to know that already.
THE NEW SPACE RACE: A red moon: Will the next ‘Sputnik Moment’ be made in China?
THAT’S RIGHT.
Trump: let’s shrink the government, enforce our laws to protect our citizens, shrink the bureaucracy and guarantee free speech for all.
