Willick is one of my favorite conservative affirmative action hires. A total clown who only got his job to meet some quota for right-wingers in establishment media.

The fact that 12% of federal judges are Black shows the corruption of DEI. The fact that 67% of Supreme Court Justices belong to a small legal cult called the Federalist Society shows the power of meritocracy.

It makes no sense to me either. But we must trust that Trump always has a plan. There is no Trump but Trump and Don Jr is his messenger.
Markwayne Mullin defends Trump pardoning Honduran president who was convicted of drug trafficking: "What the president is doing is always calculated. I haven't had a direct conversation with the president about it, but I do trust his natural reaction and his approach to foreign affairs."

"Kill them all, God will know his own" is possibly the second most famous Crusader statement beyond "God Wills It!" even if the Crusade in question happened in France.
Idk man, the guy with crusader tattoos who spent his whole career defending war criminals who executed prisoners of war sounds exactly like the kind of guy who would order "Kill everybody. Kill the survivors."
GOP Rep. Don Bacon: "I don't think Secretary Hegseth would be foolish enough to make this decision to say, 'Kill everybody. Kill the survivors,' because that's a clear violation of the law of war."

This was handed in for a PSYCH CLASS & when the prof said she didn't use empirical sources but rather submitted op-ed she whined about religious liberty + prof got suspended.

I was a *Religious Studies* major; in my time she would have been rightly BBQ'd had she dared to hand in this absolute drek.

Some ppl have seemingly forgot that political news media spun up a "Biden secretly has parkinsons" story out of a doctor visiting the WH while the admin was working on Parkinsons policy or that Nuzzis big "Biden didnt remember me" piece was written when she was secretly working for RFK Jrs campaign
The actual "worse than watergate" scandal is how much news media collectively worked to ratfuck a Democratic presidency by largely inventing health/mental acuity concerns for hyperventilate about while largely ignoring the very real & worsening issues in front of their faces from Trump

Yea I like a lot of what Micah has to say but I’m a big disagree on this.

Joe, Kamala, Hakeem, Chuck, etc, didn’t hand the country back to Trump.

The voters & the media have agency and they hold the vast majority of the blame. The voters CHOSE this current path we are on.
I’ll put it this way: I have significantly more optimism that we can beat this particular set of fascists than I do that Dems will do what is necessary not to hand the country right back over to the next batch four year later

This week I announced the WELLS ACT, named in honor of Mercedes Wells, a constituent who was discharged from an Indiana hospital while in active labor.

Minutes later, she gave birth on the side of the road. Her husband, Leon, delivered their fourth child. 🧵

Just ahead of the holidays, the Trump administration ripped up new travel rules to rein in airlines and put money back in your pocket.

If you’re watching this and your flight is delayed, spread the word: Trump is only looking out for the giant corporations.

If you are married to a US spouse, your temporary visa (usually for 3 months) will lapse before your case is processed. The government allowed you could stay in the US while awaiting case processing. Now the Trump admin is saying that is a visa overstay and arresting the spouses.

it is *part of your responsibility as a leader* to exercise judgment, there’s nothing more to investigate here, this whole situation simply does not merit your involvement at all, and if you believe it does, you are unqualified for leadership and should resign from it in disgrace
and you know what? these students should also be judged, and judged harshly for this. running to the admins and state legislators and the press because you got a fairly earned failing grade on an assignment is and should be seen as a mark of extremely poor character. it makes you a very bad person.
the primary thing that TPUSA provides to young conservatives is a blueprint for weaponizing the abject cowardice of university administrators against individual teachers and instructors, and university admins should take a long look in the mirror and think about what that says about them

The assignment prompt clearly listed the point breakdown, the student ignored it and wrote something completely different, the instructor very diplomatically explained the rubric again and why it earned no points.

OU just released a statement that they've put the instructor on administrative leave.
