STATE-FUNDED PROPAGANDA: Justice Department spent $100 million pushing DEI in schools, watchdog finds.
A SMALL MEASURE OF ACCOUNTABILITY: Bowdoin College disciplines SJP students after pro-Palestine encampment violates policies.
IT’S NOT MUCH MORE THAN A MONTH SINCE I PREDICTED THAT 2025 WAS GOING TO BE THE YEAR THINGS COME TO A HEAD. Boy, was I ever right!
YES.
It should be a political imperative among conservatives to let the left continue training all their fire — outside of Lawfare 2.0 — on Elon Musk.
Hundred billionaire devotes time, energy, resources — at no cost to taxpayer — to identifying, exposing, and working inside admin…

DON SURBER: Why Democrats hate Hegseth. “Trump hired Hegseth to change the military back into a lean, mean, fighting machine. That is what true warriors want. The president did not have the military behind him in his first term. This time he will succeed because he will have the military on his side instead of the future members of Boeing’s board of directors.”
WAIT, IS THAT SUPPOSED TO BE BAD? Fourteen States Sue DOGE, Claim Musk is a ‘Designated Agent of Chaos.’
WATCH LIVE: VP Vance speaks in Munich as Trump seeks end to Ukraine war.
UPDATE: He’s giving the Euros and UK what-for over their retreat from liberty and their bending over backwards for Muslim immigrants’ sensibilities. And boy is he good: Clear, strong, and direct. “If you’re running in fear of your own voters, there is nothing that America can do for you. . . . You cannot win a democratic mandate by censoring your opposition.”
He’s also subtly warning the EU not to meddle in Germany’s election.
COMMENTING ON YESTERDAY’S COLLISION of the USS Harry S Truman with a civilian bulk freighter, a friend writes: “USS Harry Truman looks like shit in the linked photo. Don’t know when that was taken, but I’ve seen a lot of US Navy ships at home and abroad. Don’t recall seeing one with that kind of rust on the hull.”
Here’s the pic:

I hear people say this a lot about naval vessels in general lately, because it’s true. I believe it’s due to a combination of very long deployments brought about by an understrength Navy, reduced standards, and, I believe, new, inferior “eco friendly” paint. There was always time and money for pronoun training though.
Related: “One of the top priorities of the President and the Secretary of Defense is to excise the cancer that is Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion’s (DEI) cultural-Marxist, socio-political worldview from our military.”
I’M AGAINST IT, BECAUSE I ASSUME IT WOULD EVENTUALLY LOOK LIKE USAID 2.0. An American sovereign wealth fund is risky, but not crazy.
