LOOK HARDER INTO THIS: In diary entries, Fauci reveled in fawning Leftist college students.

AND THE REST OF US: “Fauci’s testimony is a slap in the face to students like me.”

MY LATEST SUBSTACK ESSAY: Why Fauci Matters.

TRUE: Fauci Should Be in Jail, Not Georgetown: Biden commissars like Fauci have not only avoided punishment for their crimes, they have secured sinecures and pardons – where are they now?

The Left takes care of its own. The Right gets Luigi Mangione.

KIRA DAVIS ASKING THE IMPORTANT QUESTIONS: Why do they all have the same glasses? Liberal white women, big glasses, and the legend of Clipboard Karen. “I’ve said it about the weird Antifa looks – blue hair, septum rings, bad skin – and I’ll say it now. This is a uniform. The reason all the worst (public-facing) women look like this is because it’s a uniform. The colorful hair and the nose rings are the rioter-class uniform. The blond corporate cut and the oversized black, square glasses are the manager-class uniform. Same army, different ranks.”

I’M OKAY WITH THAT: The Iranian Regime Is on a Path to Ultimate Extinction.

OVERPRODUCTION OF ELITES: Degrees of Discontent: How Higher Education Created a Downwardly Mobile Elite: America has produced more credentialed elites than the economy has room for—and the DSA is where the surplus is landing. “Those attracted to the DSA appear to be people whose credentials are misaligned with their economic outcomes. Its members are disproportionately rich in credentials yet occupy positions that fall short of the status and financial success their credentials were expected to deliver. . . . Rather than producing a prosperous professional class, American higher education has produced more graduates with elite aspirations than the economy has elite careers to offer. The result is a growing class of frustrated members of an overproduced elite.”

Kenneth Anderson was onto this back during the “Occupy” Movement (remember that?)

rofessor Kenneth Anderson of American University has suggested that the Occupy movement is best understood as a struggle between the upper and lower tiers of the elite. In recent years, the upper tier, composed of bankers, financiers, etc., has become decoupled from the lower-tier sub-elite of “Virtue Industry” workers in fields like education, nonprofit activism, social work and the like—with the latter feeling betrayed and abandoned.

Mr. Anderson writes: “It was, after all, the upper tier New Class, the private-public finance consortium, that created the student loan business and inflated the bubble in which these lower tier would-be professionals borrowed the money. It’s a securitization machine, not so very different from the subprime mortgage machine. The asset bubble pops, but the upper tier New Class, having insulated itself and, as with subprime, having taken its cut upfront and passed the risk along, is still doing pretty well. It’s not populism versus the bankers so much as internecine warfare between two tiers of elites. The downward mobility is real, however.”

Still true.

ANALYSIS: TRUE.

Republican voters should turn out in this year's midterm elections like President Trump is on the ballot because, once you understand what the Democrats are planning if he loses, you'll understand that he IS on the ballot.
