PRIORITIES: Dems Turn Major China Bill Into Green Slush Fund. “Meeks introduced the EAGLE Act—the House Version of the bipartisan Strategic Competition Act—in May and included measures to boost a global climate change plan while eviscerating sections related to affirming support for Taiwan. Meeks also rejected several suggestions from House Republicans on national security challenges related to the Chinese Communist Party.”
THAT WOULD BE NICE: Stop Gaslighting Parents on Critical Race Theory.
Some pundits claim that CRT is exclusively a school of thought taught in legal academia. On her MSNBC show, Joy Reid claimed that “law school is really the only place it is taught. NBC has looked into everywhere.” Former Lincoln Project co-founder George Conway tweeted: “I don’t think critical legal studies should be taught in elementary schools, and I am ready to die on that hill[.]”
Some journalists, informed by other “experts,” contend that CRT is synonymous with “talking about racism.” NPR defined CRT as “teaching about the effects of racism”; the New York Times called it “classroom discussion of race, racism.” NBC News labeled it the “academic study of racism’s pervasive impact.”
These definitions are, of course, mutually exclusive. But they both serve to paint parents into a corner. If CRT is defined just as talking about racism, then parental objections to it must be rooted in racism. If CRT is defined just as a thesis discussed in law schools, then parental objections to it must be rooted in ignorance.
Heads, I win. Tails, you lose.
JOANNE JACOBS: Goodbye to Joe College.
College enrollment has declined by more than 14 percent in the last 10 years, the National Student Clearinghouse reports. The decline for men was 18 percent, nearly double the decline for female students, writes Vedder. “In the 2020-21 year, for example, the number of women enrolled declined by nearly 203,000, but the male decline was nearly double that, over 400,000.”
He suspects young men don’t feel welcome at colleges where professors and activists “rant about ‘white male privilege’ and diversity bureaucrats favor women over men, Vedder writes.
Why go where you’re considered “toxic” — and take on a load of debt — when there are coding academies and welding schools?
Indeed. But count on the Left to denigrate these savvy and well-trained young men as uneducated boors.
KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEF: Democrats’ Cop-Hating ‘Defund the Police’ Failure Is Complete. “His High Holiness the Lightbringer Barack Obama firmly established the Democrats as the political party of cop haters when he perpetuated the lie about Michael Brown that gave us the Ferguson riots in 2014.”
THAT ’70S SHOW: Now Prices Are Really Soaring: June Rent Jump Is Biggest On Record. “While soaring housing costs had put homeownership out of reach for most Americans, rents had been relatively tame for much of 2020. But in recent months, rents have also soared as vaccines fuel optimism about a rebound from the pandemic, and a reversal in the city-to-suburbs exodus. The increases, as Bloomberg so eloquently puts it, ‘may add to concerns about inflation pressures.'”
You don’t say.

PUNCH BACK TWICE AS HARD: GOP Calls Democrats’ Bluff on the Capitol Riot. “Democrats are posturing as defenders of the peace, defenders of order, defenders of ‘the temple of democracy’ itself. Yet Democrats have a humongous gaping weakness when it comes to defending order, and Republicans are deftly moving to expose it.”
NO, THEY’RE BURNING US: Is the Fed Getting Burned Again? “As in the stagflationary 1970s, the US Federal Reserve is once again denying that its own policies are the reason for a recent surge of inflation, even though there is good reason to think that they are. It is not too late to learn from past mistakes and reverse course – but the clock is quickly ticking down.”
