“…let a few states try to protect public school children in kindergarten through third grade from being told, in the words of Florida state Rep. Joe Harding, the sponsor of the Florida bill, that “it’s OK … to have one identity in school and one at home,” or let them try to prevent older kids from having it shoved down their throats that “our national origins [are] based on a negative act (slavery), therefore, everything that follows, including The Constitution, The Declaration of Independence, Capitalism, our healthcare system, road systems, even the foods that we eat are fatally flawed and inherently ‘racist,’” as Missouri state Rep. Brian Seitz put it, and the Left rediscovers its free-speech cojones.”

“President Joe Biden’s latest pick for his Intelligence Advisory Board is an MSNBC pundit who was among dozens of former intelligence officials to sign a letter in 2020 claiming, without evidence, that the Hunter Biden laptop story was part of a Russian disinformation operation.”

“If a U.S. college degree appears to be useless, it is by design. For "liberal arts"= training for upper class free men (liber) who were above having a profession. You learn to earn $$ in vocational or professional schools. Middle class parents were tricked & fleeced.”

“…why do Biden’s experts think all this is good politics? Their reasoning might be that it will delight the beneficiaries, while voters at large will be impressed by the scale of the achievement and unconcerned about the longer-term effects. Therefore, expect a net boost in the Democrats’ popularity. That’s half a trillion dollars well spent. Maybe, but it’s far from certain….First, the claim that the Democrats are doing all they can to get on top on inflation now appears absurd. Second, the plan seems anything but moderate: It’s a win for progressives over Democratic centrists and looks divisive.”

“Crist seems determined to lose. On Saturday, four days after winning the nomination in a primary, Mr. Crist chose Karla Hernández-Mats, president of Miami’s United Teachers of Dade, as his running mate…You’d think Mr. Crist might have learned something from Virginia, where Democrat Terry McAuliffe last year failed to regain the governorship after he declared in a debate: “I don’t think parents should be telling schools what they should teach.” Republican Glenn Youngkin beat him in a state that favored Joe Biden by 10 points. (Donald Trump carried Florida by more than 3 points in 2020.) A Virginia mom told CNN that the “nail in the coffin” was when AFT head Randi Weingarten stumped for Mr. McAuliffe the night before the election.”

“This case may end the use of race in college admissions, but hopefully also create a road map for ending these ever-present racial classification boxes that are used in other areas of our lives such as employment and contracting. These race boxes are the pathways to discrimination.”

“In the face of Biden's announcement, many college graduates who made strategic choices to avoid taking on debt in the first place are now forced to wonder if those sacrifices have put them ahead after all…Would I have spent less time on standardized tests and APs if I hadn't been so concerned about securing a cheap education? Yes. Several of my teenage years were overtaken by me figuring out how to afford the bulk of my adult life. Would I have aimed higher, applied to elite and expensive schools, and felt willing to take out loans if I knew that debt relief would be coming? Of course. Many students who chose a similar path as I did are now looking back on their time in college with a tinge of regret for the experiences we sacrificed…Biden's announcement that the federal government will forgive heaps of student loan debt makes those choices less necessary in retrospect.”

“Just when you think Meghan Markle can’t get any more delusional, she outdoes herself. Her self-regard runs in direct opposition to her waning relevance. She clearly has no real friends left — or even decent publicists — because anyone with an iota of common sense would say, “You know, Meghan, it’s probably best not to compare yourself to Nelson Mandela.”… Just when you think Meghan Markle can’t get any more delusional, she outdoes herself.

“Boland was caught on undercover video, captured by Project Veritas, declaring that he rejects candidates who espouse conservative or Catholic beliefs, are older than 30, or sympathize with concerns about parental rights in education. Instead he prioritizes recruiting non-Catholics because they’re less likely to be conservative, he said, making it easier to advance what he calls “subtle” progressive indoctrination in the classroom… “Believe it or not, the open-minded, more progressive teachers are actually more savvy about delivering a Democratic message without really ever having to mention politics.””

“Student-loan forgiveness isn’t an aberration. It’s the apotheosis of today’s progressivism, which is devoted to transferring wealth upward. … onsider who progressives are—the whitest and most highly educated members of the Democratic coalition. They’re advancing their own economic interests, and there’s nothing wrong with that. But they’re doing it under a false pretense, casting it as a moral battle for the indigent.”

“Biden’s student debt gamble is about 2024 — not 2022: [b]ehind the bravado — complete with a Ron Klain victory lap — Biden remains in a weak position within his own party. And so the college debt move is best understood as a downpayment on 2024: an attempt to shut the door to Biden’s left before anyone can open it. There is a reason the president hesitated over the college debt move for months. The political risks are obvious. But Biden is nothing if not an assiduous manager of internal Democratic Party politics. And that, not the midterms, was surely at the front of his mind as he mulled the move on a Delaware beach in recent weeks before deciding to pull the trigger.”

“It’s not just that woke doesn’t leave room for nuance; it often drains characters of what makes them fascinating and intriguing and exciting to watch. In almost every memorable story, the heroes are flawed, but find it in themselves to rise to the occasion and be heroic anyway. The villains or antagonists are bad or obstacles to the hero, but in their minds, they’re convinced they’re the heroes of the story. But in a political polemic, a flawed hero and a nuanced villain means that the opposing political side might have a point — and woke creators can’t allow their audiences to think that, now, can they?”
