YEAH, IF THIS IS NORMAL, IT SHOULDN’T BE:  Tom Kean Jr.’s Absence Highlights Washington’s Ghosting Problem .

THAT’S NICE. BUT WHAT WE NEED IS A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT TERTIARY EDUCATION SYSTEM:  The Trump Administration Is Cutting College Costs.

MAYBE MORE WILL FOLLOW:  Waking Up To Reality.

I’ll note the make work people aren’t all women. Men in these positions are even more poisonous. OTOH we are at great need for companies to concentrate on doing the thing and not the poisonous politics of the serraglio.

WHAT WE NEED TO DO IS BETTER VET IMMIGRANTS AND NOT HAND OUT CITIZENSHIPS LIKE CANDY:  Excluded!

NOTHING. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING GIVES THEM THAT RIGHT:  The climate scaremongers: What gives Ofcom the right to censor the truth about weather data?

YEAH, BUT THEY MELT AT THE DROP OF A HAT:  Green Energy Cultists Meltdown Over Proposed EV Road-Use Fees.

WELL, THIS IS HOW DEMOCRATS ARE THESE DAYS:  Dem Who Claimed Bondi Beach Massacre was ‘Zionist False Flag’ Wins House Primary.

THIS IS HEARTWARMING:  When I was an IDF soldier, I missed the last bus from a remote military base in the desert. Guess who ended up rescuing me? A bus full of devoted Christians!  When Divine Intervention Arrives by Bus.

INTERESTING:  Anthropic’s “Profitability” Swindle.

INTERESTING THAT:  AIPAC has fought Thomas Massie for years, actually. That’s a shock to his supporters who started following politics 2 seconds ago, but Google is free. Notice how he didn’t lose his primary until he voted against funding ICE, grandstanding against Trump, and cozying up to third-world leftists.

X-cancel.

“GENOCIDE:”

The best ׳genocide׳ ever!

The number of Arabs from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea has grown tenfold over the last 80 years. That's true for Gaza, that's true for Israel, and that's true for the West Bank.

DIVERSITY PROBLEM:

The most striking part of this chart is how much bluer the bluest occupations are than the reddest are red. Progressives & liberals are far likelier to live in a monopartisan/monocultural bubble. pic.twitter.com/ZO4DlKzQjp

SARAH HOYT’S SHOCKED FACE IS IN FULL REMISSION: Austin Spree Shooter Is Illegal Alien. “Democrats also claim to be against “gun violence,” yet when their precious felons do commit crimes with guns, soft-on-crime blue city prosecutors quickly turn them back out on the street to re-offend.
