TONI AIRAKSINEN: What Project 2025 Says About Due Process at Universities: Students accused of sexual misconduct deserve a fair trial before suspension or worse. “Here’s some good news: If you have a son in college, this Project 2025 helps to bolster due process as a legitimate topic of contention related to Title IX. . . . Now that women are 75% of Ivy League presidents, 66% of college adminsistrators, and 60% of the overall student body, men find themselves outnumbered, with women administrators generally making and enforcing rules.”

She’s right. Consider subscribing to her Substack, as I expect she’ll have more pieces on this and related subjects.

PRETTY PRESCIENT STUFF FROM 2020:

INFORMATION INSURRECTIONISTS:

WHEN YOU’RE A LEFTIST YOU KINDA DO: I Do Not Need to Defend Myself for Believing That Political Candidates Should Be Chosen Democratically. “As was to be expected, there was a loud response from a certain vocal faction of Democrats who have relentlessly policed any perceived slight against Kamala Harris, for years, saying that of course I immediately complained about the first Black woman presidential candidate of a major party!, but Kamala is a secondary part of the problem. The major problem is that I think the Democrats have essentially abandoned any pretense that the voters get to choose their candidates, which is part of a larger bad dynamic where the party is increasingly ruled by an utterly unaccountable aristocracy of cutthroat neoliberals. This is intertwined with the deepening gerontocracy problem in American politics, in which the only way senescent political leaders leave the stage is in a coffin. This trouble with elite overriding of popular sentiment is far bigger than Kamala Harris.”

MORE EVIDENCE THAT THEY’RE EXPECTING A WAR:

OPEN THREAD: You know what to do.

SHE’S ACTING LIKE SHE’S PRESIDENT ALREADY, NOT VP:

And shilling for those Dearbornistan votes.

WHEN THEY’RE RIGHT, THEY’RE RIGHT:

NOT A STRETCH: The antisemites burning American flags are the bad guys.

And yet the press is gaslighting us on this, to protect Kamala, who supports the antisemites burning American flags despite lip service to the contrary.

HE’S RIGHT:

STRIPPING DEAD SOLDIERS OF MEDALS WILL BOOST MORALE AND HELP THE RECRUITING CRISIS FOR SURE: Pentagon to review Medals of Honor awarded to soldiers for 1890 Wounded Knee actions.

In the months after the massacre, the Army awarded 18 Medals of Honor to soldiers in the ranks of private to captain, according to service records. The citations justifying the medals ranged greatly. One included just a single word: “Bravery.” Another went into more detail: “Went to rescue of the commanding officer who had fallen severely wounded, picked him up and carried him out of range of the hostile guns.”

I don’t know how you “review” that after 134 years.
