A student notices a curious gap in the discourse at Harvard:
“Examining the public comments of Harvard’s last four presidents, I was unable to find one reference to radical Islamism, even while they addressed major attacks.”

“Why aren’t we talking about this?”
To ask the question is to answer it.
NICE WORK, FELLAS: U.S. Troops Help Capture Narcos In Ecuador. “The drug war has long been thought to be unwinnable, but Democrats also swore up and down that the border was unsecurable as well. Here, as in so many areas, the Trump Administration refuses to be bound by conventional wisdom. CJNG has American blood on its hands, and the U.S. has been partnering with Ecuador to fight the drug trade since 2025.”
AN IMPORTANT REMINDER:
It should be pointed out that all of this is happening at one of the most left-wing colleges in the country, at an institution run exclusively by leftists, where almost all of the students are Democrats. pic.twitter.com/C8Z7I4xnuz

SCOTUS PREVIEW: The Supreme Court Opens Monday. Here’s What’s Worth Watching.
THEY MIGHT NOT KILL YOU FIRST…:
Correct. "Populist left" is a misnomer; the only thing that makes them "populist" is that they're anti-NATO and anti-Israel.
It's always dangerous when the dissident right talks about allying with them. They're trading a fake perception of foreign control (Israel) for a very…

But, yeah, that’s the end game.
YOU GO, GIRL: More Than the ‘Assault Weapons’ SCOTUS Case, THIS is What Terrifies the Gun Control Industry Most of All.
“In recent years, women made up almost half of all new gun owners, a striking shift from the historical norm, when women accounted for about 24 percent of gun owners,” Rosanna Smart and Andrew R. Morral of the RAND Corporation recently wrote. “After more than a decade of stable gun ownership, women’s ownership rose starkly between 2018 and 2021, going from 10 percent of adult women owning guns in 2018 to 15 percent in 2021, then up again slightly to 16 percent by 2024.”
They add that the big surge in women’s gun ownership has occurred since 2018 and, almost without exception, is seen across the board without regard to race, age, income, party identification, or education. Men, too, have bought guns amidst record firearms sales boosted by the chaos of 2020, though not to the same transformative extent as women. As broad demand for the means of self-defense has put the lie to the already overstated argument that gun ownership was a passing fixation of rural white men, women have rushed to take advantage of the empowering technology.
Firearms are the great equalizer.
IF IT’S BEEN MODIFIED, WE MIGHT FIND OUT IN A NOT-SO-NICE WAY:

KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEFING: It Feels Like It Should Be Easier to Defeat Abdul El-Sayed. “What the heck is going on here in Michigan? I’ve been here for over seven weeks this time, most of it spent in Ann Arbor, which is the off-the-deep-end leftist crazy zone in the state. I knew that Abdul El-Sayed fever would be strong here. Indeed, the place is polluted with ‘Sayed’ yard signs. I don’t know why they have dropped the ‘El’ for the signs. Just noticing that probably makes me Islamophobic or something.”
A TRIAL LAWYER WEIGHS IN:
My new @Townhallcom column takes no prisoners…
“We don’t owe accusers anything except to treat the accusation seriously, to investigate both sides’ claims, and to test the admissible evidence against clear laws. But that’s not what the leftists and feminists want to do here.…

“But that’s not what the leftists and feminists want to do here. That’s not what New York Gov. Kathy Hochul wanted done by appointing New York Attorney General Letitia James as special prosecutor. Hochul had already framed the young woman as a victim who was ‘literally gang raped,’ and said she deserves to have ‘justice pursued.’ Her catspaw James is supposed to run an objective criminal investigation? That’s a travesty. She has her marching orders, and she will march accordingly.”
It’s Kurt, so read the whole thing.
THAT WON’T STOP THEM, FIRST OPPORTUNITY VOTERS ARE SILLY ENOUGH TO GIVE THEM: 6 In 10 Americans Oppose Democrats’ Plan To Pack The Supreme Court.
The new poll asked respondents: “Would you support or oppose an Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, Called ‘Keep Nine’ Which States: ‘The Supreme Court of the United States shall be composed of nine justices?’”
Amongst all respondents, nearly 64 percent supported the amendment while nearly 18 percent opposed it. When broken down among party lines, 46 percent of Democrats support the Keep Nine Amendment and 54 percent of independents support it.
Yet despite the public favoring keeping the court at nine justices by a more than 3-1 margin, Democrats are promising to expand the court should they take back power.
Vote as though your life, liberty, and property depend upon it.

FRAUD ALL THE WAY DOWN: ‘Phantom’ ObamaCare accounts spark new crackdown as Oz targets broker fraud.
Oz told Fox News Digital that the administration is encouraging health insurance companies to get involved in the anti-fraud push.
“From now on, we’re asking insurance companies to work with brokers who record the conversations,” Oz said.
“Why wouldn’t you?” he said. “What are you nervous about? What are you worried about? Why don’t you want me to hear what you discussed?”
The move would help create transparency among the recipients who are applying to receive aid through Obamacare, ideally showing that the customer authorizing the transaction is verifiable and actually qualifies for the program.
Oz is throwing sand into the gears of Obama’s well-oiled fraud machine.
Good.

Robert Nozick explains socialism's attraction to intellectuals: they don't care about the "working class". Rather, they resent capitalists for earning more money than them, despite their apparently inferior merit. They're disappointed meritocrats, not suffering laborers. pic.twitter.com/b12rl8cA0h

WELL, GOOD: Ken Paxton Takes On The Bar Association. “For the majority of America’s history, lawyers didn’t need either American Bar Association imprimatur (or even a law degree) to practice law. Abraham Lincoln and Clarence Darrow never went to law school. Parallel to the New Deal, the ABA and the Association of American Law Schools (AALS) sought to cartelize the legal profession to restrict access and raise rates. Previously, self-study and apprenticeship was the path to a legal career.”
