ICYMI: OVER ON SUBSTACK, ERIC OF SECURITY & CIGARS (WHICH I’VE LINKED A NUMBER OF TIMES) HAS BEEN WRITING A SERIAL NOVEL, BOUGIE APOCALYPSE. “”Bougie Apocalypse” is a serial style post-apocalyptic pulp story. Retired Sergeant Major Jack Harlan and his wife Raych are doing their best to keep civilization alive (real coffee, quality beans instead of MRE’s, refusing to become savages) while the Cough turns people into Zombies. It’s a mix of World War Z realism, Zombieland humor, and Mad Max road survival in the face of collapse. Competent protagonists, zombies, gas station raids, and killing zombies with frying pans!”

HIGHER EDUCATION BUBBLE UPDATE: Low enrollment rocks U. Oregon as it works to slash $65 million, shutters dorms. Hmm… Well.
YURI BEZMENOV: Never Forget the Tiananmen Square Massacre of June 4, 1989. “The MSM no longer mentions Tiananmen Square, so we must amplify it here. Please share far and wide.”
MAYBE, BUT I THINK THE PART WHERE SHE LIED TO INVESTIGATORS IS WORSE: If Judge Eleanor Ross’s “Improper Sexual Activity” “Greatly Damage[s] [Her] Credibility as a Judge,” Does That Satisfy the Standard for Impeachment?
HOW “ANTI-RACISM” WORKS IN PRACTICE:
You want to know why UK police mocked, arrested, and left to die an innocent student while they treated his murderer’s false claims of “racism” as the highest priority?
Because this is the system setup for policing in the UK. pic.twitter.com/HHwheyOFvH

The purpose of a system is what it does.
I WONDER WHY? Karmelo Anthony Trial to Proceed with No Black Jurors. “One juror repeatedly said they wouldn’t feel right putting a ‘brother’ in prison.” We’ve seen an increasing reluctance of black jurors to convict black defendants who target white people. That means that there’s cause to dismiss them if they feel that way, or if prosecutors think they do and use a peremptory challenge.
HIGHER EDUCATION BUBBLE UPDATE: ‘It’s Just Been Agony’: Facing a Big Deficit, the New School Begins Layoffs. “One of New York’s most prominent universities has handed layoff notices to about 15 percent of its employees, marking the latest in a series of cost-cutting measures it’s taken to rectify a budget deficit last reported at $48 million. The New School, a private institution known for its progressive history, is also consolidating its four colleges to two beginning this fall.”
If only there had been some sort of warning.
IF IT SAVES JUST ONE LIFE:
"ALMOST THREE TIMES as many children drown in bathtubs annually as die from ALL firearm accidents combined — including adults. And forty more drown in five-gallon water buckets. The kind you buy at Home Depot for $4.99. I have given this information at talks and watched jaws… https://t.co/6KcFZQoVrx

LEST WE FORGET:
37 years ago today, the Chinese government brutally crushed peaceful protesters in and around Tiananmen Square who were demanding an end to corruption, freedom of speech, and democratic reform. The massacre revealed a truth the world should never forget: the Chinese Communist… pic.twitter.com/yaHqfF5XUu

MY NEW YORK POST COLUMN: From Delaney Hall to ‘Freedom 250,’ lefty violence is what real insurrection looks like. “A duly elected president — one who won a majority of both the electoral vote and the popular vote, as well as carrying every swing state — is trying to enforce valid federal laws widely supported by the public. His political opponents are trying to use violence to stop it.” (Bumped.)
