SHE’S RIGHT, YOU KNOW:
These are the chads I would have rolled my eyes at in college for yelling at my friends and I to show them our boobs while we ran by their houses and now they’re … our last line of sanity. https://t.co/SsQvovRm7P

And you know what looks prophetic? Anthony Bradley’s book from last year, Heroic Fraternities: How College Men Can Save Universities and America.
WHEN GARLAND TELLS THE TRUTH, IT’S NEWS: AG Merrick Garland Admits That It’s *Gang* Violence, Not ‘Gun Violence.’
WELL, JUST LOOK AT CAMPUSES TODAY: ChatGPT shows better moral judgment than a college undergrad. If it’s better than an undergrad, it’s probably twice as good as a faculty member. And three times as good as an administrator. . .
21ST CENTURY RELATIONSHIPS: Dobbs didn’t cause the birth dearth. “It is a step in the right direction that liberal columnists such as Catherine Rampell are not only acknowledging that birthrates are declining in the United States but also admitting it is a problem. Unfortunately, Rampell then reverts to fact-free blind partisanship by blaming the Republican Party for the phenomenon.”
That’s the usual progression. First, there is no problem. Second, there is a problem, but it’s the Republicans’ fault. But the facts are different: “The 17 states with the highest general fertility rates are all designated by Cook Political Report as Republican, or GOP-leaning, including such Republican strongholds as North Dakota, Nebraska, Louisiana, Utah, and Texas. By contrast, the bottom six states — and nine of the ten states with the lowest fertility rates — are all either Democratic or Democratic-leaning. … Only two Democratic states have birthrates above the national average, compared with 20 Republican states with above-average fertility.”
WELL, YES: Most gun ‘magazines’ are high capacity, 11 rounds or more. Like basically every other gun control talking point, the “high capacity magazine” thing was a lie.
I SUSPECT THE REASON IS THAT PHARMA CAN NOW MAKE MONEY OFF OF IT: “I remember when it was socially and politically unacceptable to say anything making a problem out of women’s hormones, especially to say that they are skewing us mentally. What’s going on?”
WHY IS WESTMINSTER COLLEGE SCARED OF STRONG, INDEPENDENT BLACK PEOPLE? Black conservative YAF event canceled after university obstacles.
THE ENEMY WITHIN: University of South Florida anti-Israel protester brought firearm to campus, shared Hamas propaganda on Facebook: Police. He doesn’t look much like a student.
HAHA: Pro-Hamas Protesters at Harvard get respect they deserve when Harvard students “streak” the protest site.
NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY SURRENDERS TO PRO-PALESTINIAN DEMONSTRATORS, Antisemitism Task Force Members Resign in Protest.
FROM HER LIPS TO GOD’S EAR: Meghan McCain: ‘Trump is going to win.’
A RELIGIOUS TEST FOR SPACE EXPLORATION?
An editorial recently published on SpaceNews took the position that my company’s Luna Memorial Spaceflight service should not be permitted on the Moon because the Navajo Nation views the Moon as sacred.
In essence, the author is arguing that lawful space missions should be subject to the religious test of a single culture.
No religious tests. And no religious vetoes on humanity’s future.

DON SURBER: Intifada hurt Democrats: Democrats are drinking the venom of anti-Americanism and anti-Semitism.

OPEN THREAD: Hump day.
HE’S A UNITER, NOT A DIVIDER:
Pro and anti-Israel protesters showed up at the University of Alabama today and eventually both sides began chanting “Fuck Joe Biden.” Props to Biden for bringing America together. Roll Tide, y’all. pic.twitter.com/7uXdNbJ3Uz
