HMM: “A tenured professor at Muhlenberg College in Pennsylvania has been fired after making numerous antisemitic and anti-Zionist remarks. At least eight Jewish students complained to the university, stating that her rhetoric made them feel unsafe.”

No, I’m a lefty. I’m supposed to get other people fired for their rhetoric.

FOLLOW THE SCIENCE! Biden-Harris admin’s NSF spent over $2 billion imposing DEI on scientific research: Senate report.

HIGHER EDUCATION BUBBLE UPDATE: Northeastern University Spirituality Center hosts ‘Slime making BIPOC healing space’ in response to Trump victory.

SETH BARRETT TILLMAN ON JACK SMITH’S COLLAPSED TRUMP CASE: “Special Counsel Smith has had a full and fair opportunity to prove—before the trial court and now on appeal—that he was lawfully appointed and lawfully compensated. He failed to establish those specific points in court. As a result, the DOJ may and (in my opinion) should sue for return of illegal salary paid by the U.S. Treasury to Smith and his staff (that is, those not otherwise employed at DOJ). Special Counsel Smith failed to prove that the documents seized by the FBI at Mar-a-Lago belong to the U.S. government or any of its agencies. Trump should move, and if necessary sue, for return of all his files taken by the FBI at Mar-a-Lago.”

Well, I’m a make-the-rubble-bounce kinda guy, so yeah.

ANALYSIS: TRUE. Don Surber: “You’re not the media!” is a compliment.

Plus: “The people who work at NBC News will not have careers in journalism 10 years from now. And the reason they won’t is not because of the technology. It’s because they have no credibility.”

CULTURE OF CORRUPTION: News outlets push pro-union stories while taking undisclosed cash from organized labor.

I had a girlfriend who quit journalism for PR because she said PR is more ethical. She was clearly right.

MARK JUDGE: Washington Post Shake Up Should Shake Out Ruth Marcus. “Marcus is an apologist for the Justice Department and the deep state who rejoices whenever the government abuses its power to destroy people. . . . When Marcus comes across a genuine example of government overreaching to ‘punish enemies,’ she always takes the side of the Stasi.”

AT BOTTOM, IT’S ALL ABOUT THE TRANSFER OF WEALTH: These Four Democratic Firms Raked in $600 Million Running Ads for Kamala’s Failed Campaign: Nearly 70 percent of the Harris campaign’s known total spending went to just four media consulting firms.

IT BEGINS: Rufo set to pitch Trump team on plan to dismantle DEI at US universities.

WELL, GOOD: UTIs are extraordinarily common but kidney infections are not—now doctors know why. “A multidisciplinary team at Cambridge University in England solved the conundrum in an elegant series of experiments. Dr. Andrew P. Stewart and colleagues found that highly specialized biological structures called neutrophil extracellular traps—NETs—are pivotal in protecting the kidneys from infection. NETs are sticky webs of wispy strands that quite literally serve as traps. They ensnare bacteria that attempt to migrate northward to the kidneys from the lower urinary tract. NETs add to an array of antimicrobial activities mounted by the body to beat back infection.”

HMM: Psychosis symptoms found to precede adolescent cannabis use.

SO IT’S SAFER THAN LIVING IN WASHINGTON, DC THEN: Living in space won’t do permanent harm to astronauts’ thinking skills.

CERTAINLY LESS ENJOYMENT OF LIFE: Uterine fibroids, endometriosis linked to shorter life spans.

HE’S RIGHT: To be “the media,” you have to reprint press releases from Democratic operatives without question.
