HIGHER EDUCATION BUBBLE UPDATE: Med school prof claims there are student ‘concerns’ over Israeli student’s ‘participation’ in ‘genocide’ due to IDF service.

WELL, WITH TODAY’S LEFT IT’S MORE LIKE HYDE TO HYDER:

THIS IS JUST TERRORISM: Protesters Force UC-Berkeley FedSoc Event On Judicial Reform in Israel To Shift Online; Dean Chemerinsky To Pursue Disciplinary Action Against Disruptive Students. Punish them severely, not just with a slap on the wrist. The leftist culture of impunity needs to end.

PUBLIC SCHOOL TEACHERS OFTEN ENCOURAGE THE BULLYING OF NERDS: The public school teacher would like to make the young guy seem like the nerd that “popular” kids shun? If that’s a debate strategy, I hope to detect it in real time.

It won’t be hard.

“I’D RATHER HAVE A SISTER IN A WHOREHOUSE THAN A BROTHER IN THE FBI.” The FBI Raided the Wrong Home—the Government Refuses to Pay for the Damage. “The FBI had a warrant—for a house with a different address number on a different street. Now, the Institute for Justice (IJ) is asking the U.S. Supreme Court to revive their lawsuit for accountability, which has been thrown out by the lower courts.”

Classical reference in headline.

THE MYSTERY OF THE DISAPPEARING LATINOS: “Lest the headline seems a tad bit confusing, we’re not discussing Latino voters in the United States who have begun vanishing without a trace, perhaps being sucked up into some sort of premature Rapture falling across the land. These voters are not disappearing entirely. They are simply no longer showing up in the polls as supporters of Kamala Harris the way they traditionally have turned out for other Democrats.”

IT’S NOT A KATRINA MOMENT UNLESS THE PRESS DOGPILES YOU: Trump, Republicans Attack Biden and Harris for Slow Federal Response to Appalachia Storm Damage: Search-and-rescue operations are underway following what some residents of the region are calling Appalachia’s own ‘Katrina moment.’

YES: The Killing of Nasrallah—and the Virtue of Escalation. The best way to end a regional war is to win it.

“Escalation managers” work to prolong a war. Why?
