THEY DIDN'T LISTEN THEN: Six hundred forty-nine years ago, a prominent Muslim scholar warned us about Mayor Mamdani's ideas.

And the're still not listening....

WOKESTERS AND DEMOCRATS won't even talk to you.

They don't need to talk since they already know everything....

POWERLINE'S Week in Pictures. There are many good ones this week without the extra advertising. Here's my favorite:

Fortunately PowerLine seems to have given up on its AI 'nudging' in the Week in Pictures so I'm leaving it on my blogroll for now. But unless it gives up 'nudging' entirely, it's goodbye....

TRUMP: Chicago 'will die' without federal intervention.

So let it die. The people of Illinois bought into Pritzker and Johnson; make them fix it.

DRONES WON’T WIN WARS, but they have changed warfare.

Unfortunately, only boots on the ground win wars.

TOO MANY ACADEMICS: Why Higher Education is likely doomed.

WHILE AMERICAN EDUCATION COLLAPSES, Randi Weingarten turns her teachers’ union [AFT - American Federation of Teachers] into a permanent political campaign.

JELLY ROLL DARES TRUMP FANS to stop listening after playing court jester for Jimmy Kimmel.

He has Trump fans?

WELL, GENOCIDE IS PRETTY EFFECTIVE. Abdul El-Sayed will save Jews from global warming!

HEALTHCARE FOR ALL -- if you can find it.

HIGHER EDUCATION BUBBLE UPDATE: Minnesota State Mankato set to lay off employees and raise tuition.

Lay off faculty and students. Makes all kind of sense....

MONORAIL! Is Austin [TX] seeking another rail boondoggle? Seriously?

Texas is a great state, but Austin? Her sister cities in the U.S. should be Seattle, Portland, San Francisco and Los Angeles.

SURPRISE, SURPRISE, SUPRISE: The most powerful special interests in America are not corporations. They’re public-sector unions.

And clearly the costliest to the taxpayer....

OBVIOUSLY NOT: Are there any working-class people in the Democratic Socialists?

Judging from what I'm seeing in the Democrat's political arena, most are nepo babies cosplaying as 'working class' while being supported by family wealth/connections.

SPEAKING THE TRUTH: Trump’s enemies just fight what Trump does for the sake of fighting Trump.

HE'S BANGING MY DRUM: Kelsey Grammer says privatizing Social Security could make Americans millionaires.
