This is an insightful but deeply upsetting article about why everyone in the US feels poor, and why the current political situation emerges as a direct result.

NEW: @propublica.org investigated the Chicago apartment raid where kids were zip-tied and citizens detained for hours. They find:
- NONE of the arrested were criminally charged
- NO evidence the building was "filled with TdA terrorists."
- ZERO legitimate reason for DHS to rappel from a Blackhawk.

You just know that “Did Women Ruin the Workplace?” bit would have done NUMBERS in this little clique
Something absolutely perfect about Larry Summers riffing about the scourge of woke cancel culture being unfair to predatory men in a friendly email to his pal JEFFREY EPSTEIN.

Nice to see this at National Review: "Don't Put Limits On Foreign Students.... If we want talented and ambitious students, it would be a mistake to arbitrarily limit the number of foreign students." [George Leef on Ed Gehringer article at Martin Center]
Don’t Put Limits on Foreign Students | National Review
We need to admit students based on their academic abilities, not on the supposed need to fill quotas.

In the century leading up to 1975, nearly 6000 freighters went down in the Great Lakes.
The Edmund Fitzgerald was the last.
The last. In 50 years, not a single commercial freighter has been lost in the Great Lakes.
Why?
It's NOAA. Of course it's NOAA.

Wow. Sidney Reid, the DC woman just found not guilty of assaulting an FBI agent, issues a withering and gutsy statement on Trump through her attorneys.
"I feel sorry for the prosecutors really, who must be burdened by Trump's irrational and unfounded hatred for his fellow man."
It's a must-read:

Earlier this year, Dr. Jane Goodall sat down for an interview for Brad Falchuk’s new Netflix series, Famous Last Words.
The premise of the series is to interview people on the condition that the interview not air until the subject has passed away.

Everyone already knows this but this is so thoroughly illegal that normal law enforcement would be afraid of being sued into oblivion, so the fact they feel comfortable doing this means they are either the thoroughly ignorant of the law and/or dangerously confident they won’t be held accountable.
