K-12 IMPLOSION UPDATE: Black teacher who alleged pro-Trump harassment now sues school over racism. “Video evidence available to the public, however, did not indicate racial undercurrents to the impromptu pro-Trump student rally, nor were any photos or videos presented of racist graffiti.”
TAKING SIDES DIDN’T WORK OUT WELL FOR HIGHER ED: Dartmouth implements policy of ‘Institutional Restraint’: Dartmouth College has joined the growing list of elite universities to enact institutional neutrality protocols.
MASS FORMATION PSYCHOSIS:
It's interesting that we continue to see the mental breakdown of the radical American left on a daily basis on our @X timelines and nobody in the establishment media has done a report on a need to do something about the surge in left-wing "hate speech."

YOU GET MORE OF WHAT YOU REWARD AND LESS OF WHAT YOU PUNISH: “More than half of the Army’s senior officers are turning down opportunities to command, choosing instead the stability of staff roles over the high-stakes demands of leadership, or retiring, according to internal service data.”
I hope, and predict, that Pete Hegseth will change this. He needs to.

THEY’LL BE CHANTING “BUILD THAT WALL” SOON: The Democrats’ Hispanic Voter Crash: It’s not as bad as you think—it’s worse. “It’s been widely noted that the Democrats fared very poorly with Hispanic voters in the November election. But I believe that the scale of the Democrats’ crash among Hispanic voters has not yet been fully processed nor the extent to which this crash undermines Democrats’ plans for the future. . . . The Hispanic shift to the right was concentrated among the younger generations of Hispanics who of course are the future of the Hispanic vote. Among Hispanics under 45, the Democratic margin dropped by a shocking 26 points. Trump actually carried working class Hispanic men in this age group by 7 points.”
As I’ve been saying for years, the GOP is now the multiracial party of the working class.

HAHA, CRY MORE. LA Times Owner Killed Another Editorial and Progressives are Worked Up. “Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong, owner of the LA Times, continues to shock the progressives who work at and buy his newspaper. He made news when he killed an endorsement of Kamala Harris prior to the election. This move was overshadowed when the Washington Post, owned by Jeff Bezos, did the same thing. Last month, Dr. Soon-Shiong killed another editorial, this one critical of Trump’s cabinet picks. . . . The editorial never ran. Instead, they went with another piece which was less critical of Trump’s cabinet picks. This is in keeping with a new push at the Times to expand the range of commentary. Last month Dr. Soon-Shiong said he wanted voices from ‘all sides.'”
Plus “He hasn’t done anything wrong here, he’s just telling the progressives who work for him that he wants a new tone at the paper he owns. He has every right to do this, whether they like it or not.” They don’t, and their outraged entitlement is beautiful.
MAKE THEM PAY: George Stephanopoulos and ABC apologize to Trump, are forced to pay $15 million to settle defamation suit. Plus attorney’s fees.
UPDATE (From Ed): Question asked and answered:
So the fact that ABC News and George Stephanopoulos have agreed to pay Donald Trump $15 million for defamation with a false claim of rape is going to be a front-page, lead of the evening news story for the next 3 days, right?
Stop laughing.
