YOU WOULD NEED A HEART OF STONE NOT TO LAUGH: University of Washington anti-Israel encampment postponed over lack of diversity. “A planned anti-Israel encampment at the University of Washington was scrapped at the last minute because of a lack of diversity — following fierce backlash for not involving any Muslim, Palestinian or Arab students.”

OUT: POPULATION BOMB. IN: BABY BUST. U.S. births fall in 2023 to lowest number since 1979. “For American women generally, the decision to have a child seems to have shifted to later in the lifespan, as more women focus on education and careers prior to childrearing.”

DON SURBER: Trump, the Happy Warrior.
In New York, where Alvin the Chipmunk Bragg is trying him because a porn whore extorted money from him, the jolly times continued.
The New York Post reported, “Trump vows to ‘straighten New York out’ while visiting bodega where clerk Jose Alba was hit with murder charge for stabbing an ex-con in self-defense.”
Only public outcry forced Bragg to drop charges against the bodega clerk, who is now suing the bastard.
Trump had them singing the national anthem in Harlem. Colin Kaepernick was the hardest hit.
But read all about the lawfare against him:
Using the courts to kill Donald Trump was well planned and coordinated by the White House. Unfortunately, the planner appears to be the incompetent Kamala Harris fresh off her job as border czar, which saw the largest invasion American history.
The DC press is in denial of course.
On Tuesday Politico said, “Trump and his allies like to complain these days that he is a victim of ‘lawfare’ — some sort of elaborate, multi-jurisdictional conspiracy involving federal and state prosecutors, private civil litigators and judges in different courts across the country to take him down through the court system. The media aids and abets it, in their telling.”
And yet the trials are coordinated so that he is not in two courts at the same time. The press coverage, too, is coordinated, which was the whole point of the Politico story I cited, “Inside the Off-the-Record Calls Held by Anti-Trump Legal Pundits
“Some of the country’s most prominent legal commentators are holding off-the-record sessions to hash out the latest twists and turns in Donald Trump’s legal saga.”
By hash out, Politico meant agree to a narrative.
They continue to play Civilizational Jenga.

RIGGED: Republican AGs accuse Ed Dept. of partisan vote harvesting for Democrats: Biden administration’s effort to pay college students for get out the vote campus campaigns backed by left-wing activists. “Nearly 20 Republican state attorneys general have called on the U.S. Department of Education to rescind guidance telling administrators they can use federal funds to pay students for get-out-the-vote efforts. The seven-page letter essentially describes how the new allowance to hire college students to register voters through the Federal Work-Study Program would amount to partisan vote harvesting for Democrats.”
THE PRIORITIES OF THE VOTERS ARE SHARPLY DIFFERENT FROM THE PRIORITIES OF THE RULING CLASS: “Axios commissioned a Harris poll and discovered something unsurprising, even if the establishment was shocked. Americans support mass deportations of illegal aliens.”
Pretty much all of our institutions are now set up to ensure that the ruling class gets to enact its priorities instead of the voters’; that has worked so well that much of the ruling class is unaware of what the voters’ priorities even are.

ELON MUSK vs. the Globalist Censors. “Australia’s top thoughtcop – let’s call a spade a spade – is one Julie Inman Grant. She has the power under the Online Safety Act 2021 to demand the removal of ‘Class 1 material’ from the internet. That’s anything that depicts ‘revolting or abhorrent phenomena [that] offend against the standards of morality, decency and propriety’. The vast bulk of what gets wiped off the web is child porn. Sometimes clips of violence are culled, too. Right now, Ms Inman Grant is seeking to excise a video of a stabbing. But here’s the twist: she doesn’t only want to block Aussie eyes from seeing it, but everyone’s eyes. Everyone in the world. All of us. Tyrant much?”
Australia is basically reverting to its prison origins.
