THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:

Just sayin'.

MIKE PENCE APPEARANCE AT UNC causes some to leave campus ‘scared for their safety.’

These days colleges are mental institutions.

MEDIA FIGURES address the industry's flaws at Chicago conference.

My take: "Look at me; look how important I am."

NORTH DAKOTA LEGISLATURE passes bill allowing teachers to ignore students’ ‘preferred pronouns’.

Now pass a bill allowing me to use my preferred pronouns, which are he, she, and it.

THE MADNESS of King Joe.

[T]he frank defiance of the Comstock Act prohibition on sending abortion-inducing substances through the mail; the rewriting of Title IX on the fly to include gender identity and to impose new nationwide rules on schools regarding males in women’s sports; and the distortion of the rules to make illegal immigrants covered under DACA — itself the product of an edict with no basis in the law about a decade ago — eligible for ObamaCare.

All of this alone would be a pretty good record of lawlessness.

I would only substitute 'madness' -- as in insanity -- for 'lawlessness' and use it to indict the entire progressive movement.

Read it all.

STUPIDITY SHOULD BE PAINFUL. The ‘hurtful’ idea of scientific merit.

I'm reminded of T.S. Eliot's 1925 poem 'The Hollow Men': "This is the way the world ends: not with a bang but a whimper".

TRUMP'S GOOD IDEA: Reinstate "Schedule F".

[A] President ought to have the power to fire any government official who is in a policy-making capacity. In other words, anyone who has the power, even if delegated properly by Congress to the executive branch, to issue regulations with the force of law ought to be directly accountable to the president, like a Cabinet member or direct presidential appointee would. In what world does it make sense that the president could fire the head of the EPA for going against the president’s policy purposes, but not a bureaucrat who does the same thing?

That's a winning message.

ON THE BRIGHT SIDE we now know who to fire when tenure is revoked.

And it will be.

NON SEQUITUR: Clearly she's learning from the Democrats' playbook.

ENERGY SECRETARY JENNIFER GRANHOLM: DoD will be all-electric vehicles by 2030.

Yeah, and in the next war I can see all (diesel) refueling vehicles towing diesel generators to 'refuel' the tanks.

There is so much stupid in the Biden administration it must be chemically induced....

THE FREE PRESS: Climate activism has a cult problem.

SO, HOLLYWOOD ... How are those unarmed "security ambassadors" working out?

DOES CALIFORNIA EVER THINK ANYTHING THROUGH? Mandating your EV be able to help power the grid.

The California cognoscenti seem to have forgotten that for an EV to power grid or home, its battery has to be charged first.

Also there's that (expensive) little thing called a 'transfer switch'.

WHAT A TRAGEDY: A colon just won't work as a vagina.

DEMOCRATS, DEFAULT IS NOW ON YOUR PLATE: House passes debt ceiling plan.

THE NEW YORK TIMES: Senility is A-OK.

THE COVID LOCKDOWN SCOLDS KILLED PEOPLE — and they still have no shame.

HOW IT STARTED: How it's going.

Blue checks on Twitter are simply signals to ignore the twit....

NEARLY 700 PROFESSORS protest a bill requiring students to study the Constitution.

FROM FOX NEWS "the professors argue the legislation 'violates core principles of academic freedom' and 'substitutes ideological force-feeding for the intellectual expertise of faculty.'"

House Bill 96, would require students to take a 3 credit-hour course covering America's founding and history. Required reading for the course would include the U.S. Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, the Emancipation Proclamation, at least five essays from the Federalist Papers, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s Letter from Birmingham Jail and the Gettysburg Address.

We now know who to fire when tenure is revoked.

ARMED ELDERLY MAN steps in when neighbor's delusional son attacks her with shovel. From the comments (bones56):

Best to leave us old folks alone,we've reached the point where life in prison doesn't mean much to us. I can't run, can no longer fight but I can still pull a trigger. I will take your life in a second.

Agreed.
