“State universities are public institutions that must reflect the values of the public,” Chris Rufo correctly points out. But as the headlines below suggest, that is currently not happening in one of the reddest states in America.

HONEST GRADING IS RACIST: It’s ‘racially harmful’ to reform grade inflation at Harvard, student petition argues. “The lobbying comes as a Harvard faculty consider capping the number of A grades they give out in each class. That proposal came after a report published last fall found that 60 percent of all undergraduate grades are now As.”

More:
The reason she is moving at all is that Iran is running out of places to put the oil.
Kharg Island handles roughly ninety percent of Iran’s crude exports. Its onshore tanks had about thirteen million barrels of spare capacity when the US blockade began on April 13. Net inflow since has been running at one million to one point one million barrels per day because exports have collapsed to single digits of vessels while upstream production continues. The math is mechanical. Roughly twelve days of spare capacity. The calendar says that window closes this week.
NASHA is not a strategy. NASHA is what you do when you have run out of strategy.
A two-million-barrel floating storage vessel buys Iran approximately forty-eight hours of continued upstream production. After that, either the wells get shut in or the crude goes somewhere else. The parallel options being pursued, ship-to-ship transfers in the Riau Archipelago, AIS-dark transits, sanctioned VLCCs returning home through the blockade line, are not enough. Lloyd’s List Intelligence has tracked roughly twenty-six Iran-linked vessels evading since April 13. That cannot absorb a million barrels a day.
The wells will shut in. The question is which wells, for how long, and whether they come back.
Bringing those wells back takes months, at least.
This is exactly what Trump meant yesterday when he said time was on his side.

I HOPE YOU WENT LONG ON POPCORN FUTURES: Prominent civil rights activist warns bombshell Southern Poverty Law Center indictment is just ‘tip of the iceberg.’
Bob Woodson, an 89-year-old civil rights champion who faced jail time for his advocacy in the Jim Crow South, condemned the SPLC and admitted he wasn’t “surprised at all” that the nonprofit allegedly funneled more than $3 million to “field sources” to infiltrate extremists groups between between 2014 and 2023.
“This is just a more obvious expression of the contradiction of people who say they are fighting for civil rights, and as a consequence, they are corrupt,” Woodson charged on Fox News’ “The Will Cain Show.”
“This is just the tip of the iceberg. These are people who are supposed to be fighting for civil rights.
“They ask which problems are fundable, not which ones are solvable. So you get this kind of corruption that you’re witnessing,” the octogenarian declared.
More to come — lots more, apparently.

PROTECT WOMEN’S SPACES: Male Prisoners Are Abusing Incarcerated Women in Massachusetts.
Just west of Boston, the state’s MCI–Framingham facility houses at least 11 trans-identified men, including serial rapists, wife-murderers, and child molesters, whose presence imposes degrading and dangerous conditions on female inmates. (MCI–Framingham did not return a request for comment for this article.)
Charles Horton, a level-three sex offender, was sentenced in 2000 to one year of house arrest for raping a minor. In 2019, he was convicted of repeatedly kidnapping and sexually assaulting a 14-year-old at gunpoint. He is now serving a 25- to 35-year sentence at MCI–Framingham as “Charlise.”
Wayne “Veronica” Raymond, classified as a “sexually dangerous person,” spent 24 years at the Massachusetts Treatment Center for sex offenders and was denied parole six times for failing to demonstrate rehabilitative progress. Records describe a manipulative personality and persistent “deviant fantasies,” noting that he has “only recently begun admitting to [his] sexually abusive behaviors.”
Kenneth Hunt, now “Katheena Soneeya,” was convicted of sexually assaulting and murdering two women, including his own cousin, whom he raped with a broom handle and stabbed more than 40 times. Women incarcerated with Hunt describe him as a “pervert”; multiple inmates have accused him of sexual assault and harassment in statements they provided us.
Female prisoners are forced to share intimate spaces, including communal showers, with these men—only a few of the predatory offenders transferred to MCI–Framingham under the 2018 Criminal Justice Reform Act, which does not require even a diagnosis of gender dysphoria.
Read the whole thing — if you think you can stomach it.

CORN, POPPED: House Panel Orders Southern Poverty Law Center to Turn Over Communications With Biden’s DOJ. “House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) on April 23 gave the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) until April 30 to hand over documents regarding its relationship with the Biden–Harris Department of Justice (DOJ) and the FBI, as part of a federal prosecution of the civil rights group.”
ACCOUNTABILITY:
IMO, one of the most basic yet most profound aspects of all of this is that the FBI, DOJ, potentially the CIA, some Democrat members of Congress and potentially at least one Democrat President KNEW what the SPLC was doing and allowed it to happen. MANY people need to go to jail.

KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEFING: Trump’s Flex on the Sinaloa Cartel Gives Me Third Term Vibes. “The toughness that Trump has brought to the GOP all starts with his unflinching honesty about illegal immigration. It is a problem that couldn’t be properly attacked when nobody was being honest about how big it was.”
WE NEED EXPERTS TO TELL US THAT THINGS THAT WORK, WORK: Blue city’s staggering 40% violent crime drop a ‘blueprint for other cities,’ law enforcement expert says.
Data from the Memphis Police Department shows violent crime is down over 40% so far in 2026 compared to the same period last year, following President Donald Trump’s establishment of the Memphis Safe Task Force — a coalition of local, state and federal law enforcement agencies and the Tennessee National Guard.
“Memphis is absolutely a blueprint for other cities around the nation,” National Police Association spokesperson Sgt. Betsy Brantner Smith told Fox News Digital. “When you look at the level of cooperation between state, local and federal law enforcement, and you combine that with prosecutors who were involved and judges who were willing to follow along, that is something that every large crime-ridden city in the nation should take a look at.”
You don’t say.
SOME PEOPLE PRETEND NOT TO UNDERSTAND THIS, SO THE EXPLANATIONS WILL CONTINUE:
The SPLC wasn't paying for the "infiltration" of "hate groups" (not including Antifa, by the way).
It was supervising the posting of racist hate messages and helping with the transport of agitators who provoked riots.
