CHANGE IN THE UK:
Barely any anti-Trump protests in Windsor or London… very different mood to his last state visit, and very revealing about changing attitudes to the President second time round.

MESSAGING:
"Charlie Kirk was a racist because he said that Joy Reid only got into Harvard because of affirmative action."

YOU DON’T WANT THESE: Researchers warn dry eyes are common, but often left untreated.
BARBARA OAKLEY: Censorship Hurts Our Brains—Literally. Neuroscience confirms the importance of free speech to individual citizens—and to democracy itself. “People point to social media as the trigger, but the narrowing of perspective often starts much earlier—in classrooms. The glee some teachers expressed after the killing revealed how easily bias can masquerade as neutrality. Studies find educators lean heavily to one side politically, yet many sincerely believe they’re impartial—the “bias blind spot” in action. From primary school through college, dissent is rare and pressure runs mostly one way, etching patterns that are hard to undo. China has long understood this: It now pulls Tibetan children into state-run schools from the age 4, stripping away language and culture so Communist Party ideology can fix identity before anything else can take root.”
HIGHER EDUCATION BUBBLE UPDATE: UMich professor mocks Kirk’s death as ‘prudent’ and ‘rational.’
ELIMINATIONIST RHETORIC:
So, no, don’t tell me that it’s isolated. https://t.co/pIWXcKun6E

THAT DOESN’T SEEM UNREASONABLE, THOUGH THERE WILL PROBABLY BE PEOPLE COMPARING THIS TO NAZI GERMANY: Feds Denaturalize Immigrant Who Fraudulently Obtained Citizenship After Raping Stepdaughter For Years.
YES.
The entire final chapter of Butler addresses just this— I came up in a newsroom filled with blue-collar people, many who didn’t attend college, who were relentless in getting the story & had a keen connection to the people & places they reported on—I am still that reporter. https://t.co/rqO1fbwIMK

LOL, PETER BAKER:
After the Pulse night club shooting, Barack Hussein Obama flew straight to Florida and did a speech excoriating Republicans for not passing gun laws and directly blamed them for the shooting. https://t.co/5ebocCq1tI

MAYBE SHE’S SMARTER THAN SHE GOT CREDIT FOR: Pam Bondi gets Justice Sotomayor to come out against “Hate Speech” regulation. “And so ends the decades long push — by the left — to criminalize hate speech. Thanks, Justice Sotomayor!”
YOU REALLY DON’T HATE THESE PEOPLE ENOUGH: WATCH: Media Gush Over ‘Touching’ Texts Kirk’s Alleged Assassin Sent to Trans Lover Confessing to the Murder.
I HOPE THINGS GO AS WELL IN MEMPHIS: Crime is Still Down in Washington, DC.
FREDDIE DE BOER ON WHAT MEN ARE LIKE. Just remember, we live in an era where men’s sexuality is presumptively pathological, while women’s sexuality is presumptively virtuous.
This has paradoxical effects.

SALENA ZITO REPORTS:
Just spent 90 minutes sitting on the sidelines of a kids flag football practice. I don’t think cable news “experts” or many Democrats have any idea of how profoundly impacted suburban moms are over what happened to Charlie Kirk & how much they have noticed how poorly many have… https://t.co/rTl3NRpYUX

MY NEW YORK POST COLUMN: Charlie Kirk’s murder will break the left’s hateful cancel tactics.
SNOWFALLS WILL SOON BE JUST A THING OF THE PAST: Fearmongering predictions about climate change keep falling apart.
I WILL HAVE TO CHECK THIS OUT: Smith & Wesson Returns to Training With the Opening of the Smith & Wesson Academy in East Tennessee. “One thing made obvious during the ceremonies was that Maryville, Tennessee definitely isn’t Springfield, Massachusetts. Having taken part in numerous media and training events in Smith’s former Shooting Sports Center in Springfield until its closure in 2017, the depth and breadth of the new facilities is testimony to the expansiveness of the Tennessee campus.”
