Supporters of former President Donald J. Trump have been forced to endure years of insults and indignity at the hands of the unhinged Resistance which serves as shock troops for the radicalized Democratic Party and now the call has gone out to spit into their drinks, a stunning example of the vile nature of the angry left.
In a video posted to TikTok, a woman with rings through her nose wants to take political hatred to an entirely new level, urging her fellow crazies to “normalize” what can be described as the use of biological warfare against those with whom they disagree.
This unbelievable clip was filmed in Racine, Wisconsin.
The courts recently banned ballot drop boxes in the state but apparently, mobile home traveling voting machines are just fine.
Where is the Republican Party? Absent, once again. It’s as if they’re on the other side!
The city of Racine started using the new “mobile voting precinct” in June 2021.It’s the first of its kind in Wisconsin. Soon Democrats will steal and manufacture all of their ghost votes by mobile precincts.
Ex-President Donald Trump does not think that exchanging the arms dealer labeled as the 'Merchant of Death' in exchange for WNBA star Brittney Griner is a 'very good trade.'
During an appearance on Saturday on 'The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show,' Trump said of Griner: 'She knew you don't go in there loaded up with drugs, and she admitted it.'
He continued: 'I assume she admitted it without too much force because it is what it is, and it certainly doesn't seem like a very good trade, does it?'
Turning to the Merchant of Death aka arms dealer Viktor Bout, Trump said: 'He's absolutely
Voters who support abortion rights are less likely to vote in the November elections than those who think abortion should be illegal, according to a poll released Friday.
Respondents who saw the overturning of Roe v. Wade as a major loss for women’s rights were also less likely to plan on voting in the midterms than those who didn’t, according to the poll, which surveyed 1,026 Americans from July 22 to 24. This presents a challenge for Democrats, who are hoping abortion will be a winning issue for them going into midterms, according to The Washington Post. While 66% of respondents who think abortion should be illegal
The CNN journalist best known for reporting from the burning scene of "fiery but mostly peaceful protests" following the justified non-fatal police shooting of armed sexual-assault suspect Jacob Blake in Kenosha, Wis., has been nominated for an Emmy award.
CNN correspondent Omar Jimenez was one of five nominees in the "Outstanding Emerging Journalist" category. A Washington Free Beacon analysis determined that the word "emerging" is a euphemism for "non-white."
Joe Biden has been re-infected with COVID after taking an anti-viral drug that leaves patients running a 40 per cent risk of flare-up of the virus shortly afterwards. Taking Paxlovid leaves COVID sufferers in danger of testing positive for the virus again very quickly after clearing their initial infection. When Paxlovid came to market in December 2021, studies from Pfizer indicated that only 1-2 percent of patients who took the drug tested positive for Covid again shortly after finishing their dosage.(Snip)While Dr. David Boulware of the University of Minnesota told the magazine that he wants Pfizer to release more in depth study data.
Moms-to-be could soon be watching babies grow in the womb on a smartphone.
Postage stamp-sized adhesive patches have been developed that provide imaging of the heart, lungs, and other organs.
They will be connected to your smartphone device - producing clear and continuous pictures for 48 hours.
While women could see their own fetuses, it would also improve the monitoring of cancer patients' tumors.
Over 10,000 Christians have signed an online petition this week condemning Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene's promotion of Christian nationalism, slamming the Georgia Republican for what they describe as a "betrayal of our faith."
Speaking to the conservative Turning Point USA Student Action Summit in Florida last Saturday, Greene argued that Christian nationalism is "a good thing."
"That's not a bad word," the congresswoman said. "That's actually a good thing. There's nothing wrong with leading with your faith....If we do not live our lives and vote like we are nationalists—caring about our country, and putting our country first
TEXAS, USA — Check your Mega Millions lottery tickets, Texans!
The winning numbers for the $1.28 billion prize were 13-36-45-57-67, Mega Ball 14 and Megaplier 2. The cash option was $747.2 million.
Nobody from Texas bought the jackpot-winning ticket, which was purchased in Illinois. The last time someone won the Mega Millions jackpot was April 15. Nearly 30 consecutive drawings without a winner grew it to almost record-breaking heights.
There were, however, two $1 million dollar winning tickets sold in Texas.
According to the Texas Lottery website, the two winning tickets sold in Texas were bought in Plano and Prairie View.
At first blush I’m inclined to see Jose Ruben Zamora as the Latin version of Jamal Khashoggi; which is to say, he glows CIA.
Yesterday in Guatemala, the government arrested a “journalist” and “businessman” named Jose Ruben Zamora who was the publisher of a national newspaper and strong opposition voice against the conservative government of President Alejandro Giammattei [WSJ link]. Today, Guatemalan President Giammattei is reported to have survived an assassination attempt, leaving people injured as a result of gunfire [details sketchy].
After a state judge refused to disqualify U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) from the ballot, the left-wing group that challenged her candidacy on insurrection grounds is appealing the judge’s ruling to the Georgia Supreme Court.
The state court threw out the challenge on July 25. The appeal was filed July 28.
Greene, an outspoken supporter of former President Donald Trump, represents Georgia’s 14th congressional district. The Christian conservative is known for making strongly worded, often controversial statements. A first-term lawmaker now seeking a second term, she won the Republican primary in her district on May 24 with 70.4 percent of the vote.
Former President Donald Trump was joined by a Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) as he enjoyed another day at Bedminster for the controversial Saudi-backed LIV golf tournament.
Trump, 76, kept on par with his white monogrammed shirt and black slacks has he hit the golf course again for the third day of the LIV tournament.
The former president was joined by the famous and outspoken Republicans, including Greene, 48, Caitlyn Jenner, 72, and his son Eric Trump and his family.
Jenner is competing in the tournament with British golfer Paul Casey, who reportedly said 'she has a pretty good swing.'

Science leaders are demanding a crackdown on medical research fraudsters, warning that the worst offenders pose a threat to public health and should be handed prison sentences. And they have also called for academic journals that publish dodgy data to be slapped with hefty fines if they fail to act swiftly when fakes are exposed.
The demands come after bombshell allegations that a pivotal study on the cause of Alzheimer’s disease contained manipulated results, potentially leading other scientists down a blind alley, hindering the development of effective treatments and giving false hope to patients and their families.(Snip)In one of the most egregious examples, allegedly falsified data led to patients

CNN Not ‘Opinion’ replies
Disgraced former CNN host Chris Cuomo claimed during an interview that aired Friday night that CNN was not an opinion network, and he then proceeded to blame those who watch cable news for the toxicity of cable news.
Cuomo, 51, told Bill Maher on HBO’s “Real Time with Bill Maher” that he felt like he lost “a sense of purpose” after getting fired from CNN last year as the far-left network investigated his involvement in helping his brother, then-New York Democrat Governor Andrew Cuomo, navigate a sexual misconduct scandal.
“This is my brother, obviously I’m not objective. Obviously, I’m going to help him,” Cuomo told Maher.
President Biden is expected to travel to Michigan on Tuesday to deliver remarks on Congress’ recent passage of its $280 billion technology spending bill aimed at boosting domestic semiconductor manufacturing and spurring scientific research in a key make-or-break legislative win for the administration. Mr. Biden plans to tout the positive impact that the $52 billion payout for semiconductor manufacturers included in the bill will have on economic and national security, the White House said on Saturday in a statement announcing the trip. The House gave final passage to the bill in a 243-187 vote on Thursday after the Senate passed the measure 64-33 earlier
Hershey Co (HSY.N)said on Thursday it would fall short of meeting demand for the all-important Halloween and Christmas holiday seasons this year, blaming a scarcity of raw ingredients and difficulties in securing suppliers.
Pandemic-induced global supply chain disruptions and the Russia-Ukraine war have crunched supplies of cocoa, edible oil and other food ingredients, pinching production lines of packaged food companies around the world.
Hershey Chief Executive Officer Michele Buck said those issues, along with the company's focus on meeting demand during non-holiday periods, would lead to a likely shortage during Halloween, but added that sales will still top last year.
Rob Reiner has made many wild and unsubstantiated claims on Twitter. On Friday, he managed to top himself by declaring that Joe Biden is the best president in nearly 60 years.
The result has been widespread ridicule, with the term “Meathead” trending on Twitter late Friday. (“Meathead” refers to the dim-witted character Reiner played on the sitcom All in the Family).
Reiner, who was one of Biden’s biggest Hollywood fundraisers during the 2020 election, trumpeted his opinion while acknowledging that it goes against the prevailing popular sentiment. As Breitbart News reported, a recent Yahoo News/YouGov survey found that just one in five Americans want Biden to run for reelection in 2024.
Nashville, Tenn.—Beginning August first, groceries will go tax free in Tennessee—with a few exceptions. A grocery tax suspension, proposed by Governor Bill Lee in March in response to nationwide inflation, will take effect Aug. 1, and remain in effect for 30 days. The suspension applies to all food and food ingredients, and only excludes alcohol, tobacco, candy, dietary supplements and prepared food. “I think it’s fantastic,” Kroger shopper Nancy Andrews said Friday. “Any relief you can give to families and single people is great at this point.”(Snip)“I feel a difference in all the bills,” shopper Domonique Alexander said.

Exclusive: Special Presidential Envoy for Climate John Kerry's family jet has emitted over 300 metric tons of carbon dioxide since the Biden administration began, federal data shows.
Kerry's family jet, a Gulfstream GIV-SP, has made a total of 48 trips lasting more than 60 hours and emitted an estimated 715,886 pounds, or 325 metric tons, of carbon since President Biden was sworn into office, according to federal data obtained by Fox News Digital via FlightAware. The plane belongs to Flying Squirrel LLC., a charter company owned by Kerry's wife Teresa Heinz-Kerry and in which Kerry reported owning a more than $1 million stake on his most recent financial disclosure.
The remnants of a large, recently launched Chinese rocket plunged back to Earth in an uncontrolled re-entry over the Indian Ocean on Saturday afternoon.
US Space Command confirmed that the debris re-entered the atmosphere at approximately 12.45pm ET, referring all questions about the precise location of re-entry and debris dispersal to the Chinese government.
China's embassy to the United States did not immediately respond to a message seeking comment from DailyMail.com.
In the final hours before the rocket booster fell from orbit, a populated area of Mexico on the Baja California peninsula, near Cabo San Lucas, had been in the potential path of the debris,
President Joe Biden has tested positive for COVID-19, sending him back into isolation just three days after he was cleared to resume his duties. In a memo, Biden's physician, Dr. Kevin O'Connor said the president is experiencing no new symptoms and 'continues to feel quite well.' On Saturday afternoon, Bident tweeted: 'Folks, today I tested positive for COVID again. This happens with a small minority of folks. 'I've got no symptoms but I am going to isolate for the safety of everyone around me. 'I'm still at work, and will be back on the road soon.' Biden had tested negative for COVID on Tuesday following five days of isolation
Republicans are preparing to investigate Hunter, James, and President Joe Biden’s history of shady business deals after the GOP likely reclaims the House in the midterm elections. Plans have already begun to investigate the Biden family business. Demand letters are being written and strategies developed to ensure Hunter, Joe, and James Biden are held accountable for the misdeeds and falsehoods perpetrated on American citizens, which includes the establishment media’s suppression of the “Laptop From Hell” leading up to the 2020 presidential election.(Snip)“We’re going to spend a lot of time in the first three, four months having investigation hearings and then we’re going to be very active in the subcommittee
Washington Post columnist Megan McArdle dismissed the semantics debate over whether the U.S. was officially in a recession and warned Democrats that such "word churn" about the state of the economy was not an effective political strategy. In her Friday piece, titled, "Enough with the ‘is this a recession?’ blather," McArdle began by asking, "Are we in a recession? Does it even matter?" She noted "that a preliminary Bureau of Economic Analysis report released Thursday shows that the economy contracted at an annualized pace of 0.9 percent in the second quarter, following a decrease of 1.6 percent in the first quarter."
More than four in ten Americans have been forced to cut back on everyday habits and items, including the amount of groceries they purchase, as a result of Bidenflation, a recent Suffolk University/USA TODAY survey found. They survey asked respondents about the habits they have had to change due to the reality of rising prices in President Biden’s America.(Snip)Perhaps what is more, the cost of basic items, such as food, rose by more than 9.1 percent. Food, for instance, rose 10.4 percent in the last year, and food at home rose 12.2 percent. Energy costs have risen 41.6 percent in the last year, and gasoline, specifically, has risen
“Get ready for war!” read a message posted by China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA) 80th Group over the US visit to Taiwan, as reported on Friday, July 29.
China’s Army’s war message over the potential US visit to Taiwan reportedly generated over 300,000 thumbs-up in just 12 hours, creating “high morale among Chinese soldiers” according to Global Times.
The message was posted on China’s social network Weibo, with pictures of the post since circulating on Twitter:

With the 2022 midterm elections less than four months away, a New York Times/Siena College poll revealed that just 1 percent of registered voters viewed climate change as a “top priority,” let alone the most important issue facing the nation. The poll placed climate change far behind concerns about inflation, the economy, record crime rates, and the humanitarian crisis on America’s southern border. Even among voters younger than 30 -- the demographic that is typically most energized by debates about environmental policy -- the corresponding figure was a mere 3 percent.
The same poll showed that public concern about climate change has actually declined significantly from the already-low levels of concern
In late May, Conde Nast’s LGBT site them.us went out of its way to distance a nascent viral scourge known as monkeypox from the main demographic who was catching it — gay men.
The piece headlined, “The Monkeypox Virus Is Affecting Queer Men, but Has Nothing to Do With Being Queer,” stated that “while a large fraction of those infected in [the] current global outbreak identify as gay or bisexual men… there is no correlation (Snip)When a communicable disease arises, people deserve to know the facts: How is it spread, and who is mostly likely to suffer from it? Shying away from the truth helps no one.
Local health authorities and lawmakers have repeatedly called on the Biden administration to take more action in response to the monkeypox outbreak. Now, the White House appears to be pushing back by attempting to spread the blame to include state and local governments. Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Xavier Becerra said during a Thursday press briefing on monkeypox that state and local governments “ultimately are the ones that determine how health care is administered in their jurisdictions.” “We believe that we’ve done what helps our state and local health care partners stay ahead of this, and we’ll continue to

FOX News media reporter Joseph Wulfsohn picked up Rep. Jesús “Chuy” Garcia’s vulgar tweet below before it was deleted two hours later. I assume Garcia composed it. I can’t believe a staffer would have the nerve to speak this way under Garcia’s name. Warning: If you click on the tweet you will see the whole thing.
Garcia is (over)sensitive to criticism. The sensitivity also makes me think it is Garcia himself speaking in the tweet. That seems a little unusual for a man whose chosen profession is politics. He really ought to develop a thicker skin.
I wonder if we (I) can learn anything from it. These are my thoughts.
New York—As the monkeypox outbreak shows no sign of slowing in New York, Gov. Kathy Hochul declared a state disaster emergency on Friday. Hochul said this will allow the state to respond promptly and strengthen the ongoing efforts to confront monkeypox, as nearly 1,400 cases were reported in New York on Friday. Nearly 1,300 of those cases are in New York City. The executive order allows who is eligible to administer the vaccines, which includes EMS personnel, pharmacists and midwives. It lets physicians and nurse practitioners issue non-patient-specific standing orders for vaccines.(Snip)More than one in four cases nationwide are in New York State
Former President Donald Trump apologized to Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) for insulting his wife and father during the 2016 GOP presidential primaries, according to a new book by former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort.
Trump apologized to Cruz and his family in person, an unusual act for the former president who has a reputation for refusing to apologize, Manafort said. Trump had insinuated that Cruz's wife Heidi Cruz was ugly, attached Cruz's father to the assassination of former President John F. Kennedy, and questioned whether Cruz could be the next president if he was born in Canada.
With mail-in ballots becoming a feature of all future elections, the United States government, specifically the United States Postal Service (USPS) is now creating a permanent division inside USPS to control the delivery and return of the election ballots.

A massive fire engulfed one of Philadelphia’s most iconic cheesesteak restaurants, severely damaging it.
Firefighters responded to the scene at Jim’s Steaks on the corner of 4th and South Streets in South Philadelphia Friday. The blaze was officially declared a two-alarm fire, but the number of additional crews supporting first responders on site increased the number of crews to the equivalent of a three-alarm fire, the Philadelphia Inquirer reported.
The fire was declared under control at about 1:30 p.m. local time, Friday afternoon, nearly four hours after it began.
Evidence pointed to the fire starting in somewhere in the shop’s HVAC system.
The U.S. government has reached a new deal with Moderna for 65 million additional COVID-19 vaccine doses, the Biden administration announced on July 29.
The deal is valued at $1.7 billion.
Moderna will sell doses of its vaccine that target Omicron subvariants, according to the agencies that announced the agreement. The actual contract has not yet been made public.
Moderna and other vaccine makers have been updating their COVID-19 vaccine formulations because the vaccines are based on the Wuhan strain, which has not been prevalent since 2020. The vaccines have proven increasingly worse at protecting recipients as newer variants emerge.
MSNBC contributor Donny Deutsch said Friday on MSNBC’s “Deadline” that to win the majorities in November, Democrats have to “scare the hell out of people” by saying Republicans are “crazy fascists.”

It’s around the grievances over the election, and I think in Pennsylvania, you’ve seen some of the extremist groups marching openly in broad daylight on the streets.

Billionaire David Rubenstein’s philanthropic efforts trash the Founding Fathers, even though his own business has made a fortune from deals that have profited off the less fortunate. Since 2013, Rubenstein, 72, who co-founded the private equity giant the Carlyle Group, has given millions to entities that repair and upgrade historical monuments and landmarks like the Lincoln Memorial and the Washington Monument as well as Monticello and Montpelier, the homes of US presidents Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. But some say the restoration at the presidential homes has recast the presidents as sinister racists while downplaying their accomplishments.
So here we are again. An armed suspect runs from the police only to be pursued, subdued, disarmed, and arrested. In a sane world, the officers would be lauded for their efforts. Alas, the world is far from sane, and few portions of it are farther from sanity than Chicago and its surrounding communities. So, instead of being praised for removing an armed criminal from the streets, the officers find themselves villainized for using what the uninformed or willfully blind perceive as excessive force. The incident was captured on police and bystander cameras, and when the footage hit social media and the television news, it inspired indignation among
One of the most powerful tools of social control is capacity to define words. George Orwell established the ominous potential of the political darkness extending from such power. We in the United States find ourselves subjugated increasingly to a dangerous rhetorical world of doublespeak. Al Gore recently compared the killing of 19 children and teachers at Uvalde to the refusal to hear children crying out as victims of climate change. His comparison is not unlike his longstanding comparison of disagreement with his interpretation of the Earth’s proper temperature as analogous to Holocaust denial.
A Russian named Aleksandr Viktorovich Ionov has been charged with “orchestrating a years-long foreign malign influence campaign that used various U.S. political groups to sow discord, spread pro-Russian propaganda, and interfere in elections within the United States.” According to a DOJ press release, Ionov was directed by FSB and gained influence with three separate groups in Florida, Georgia and California.
None of those groups were named in the indictment but the identity of the Florida group was revealed after the group’s headquarters was searched by the FBI. The group in question is part of something called the Uhuru Movement which is run by the African People’s Socialist Party.
After leftists yelled that "walls don't work" and Joe Biden declared that "not another foot" of President Trump's border wall would be built on his watch during his presidential campaign, Biden is now "quietly" completing parts of the President Trump's border wall now that three million illegal aliens have surged on in.
According to the Associated Press:
PHOENIX — The Biden administration on Thursday authorized completion of the Trump-funded U.S.-Mexico border wall in an open area of southern Arizona near Yuma, where four wide gaps make it among the busiest corridors for illegal crossings.
Although inflation — which surged to 9.1% in June — is driving up the cost of everyday goods, consumers are feeling a significant amount of pain when it comes to buying food.
According to the Consumer Price Index (CPI) – which is a broad measure of the price for everyday goods – food prices have outpaced overall inflation, rising 10.4% in June compared to a year ago. This takes into account food at home and at restaurants.
Inflation for food-at-home, which accounts for grocery store and supermarket food purchases, rose even higher to 12.2%, underscoring how consumers are not getting much reprieve by trying to cook at home.
The next political crisis may be triggered by a further loss of trust in authority, coupled with another institutional demand for power. Even before the Covid pandemic broke out, faith in institutions was at an all-time low — and falling. In 2022 trust in organized religion was more than four times higher than in Congress. No branch of government was trusted by more than 50% of the public except the military, not even the police.
Yet this loss in institutional trust coincided with unprecedented demands by institutions for a vast increase in power. It included the power to regulate nearly anything
Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia stunned many by striking an agreement for a $790 billion climate, healthcare, and tax package.

But the most carefully negotiated deals can still be upended in an environment where no margin of error exists. Manchin is on a collision course with Sen. Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona over a small part of the bill. The pair disagree on carried interest, a loophole
They Can't Let Him Back In

The people who really run the United States of America have made it clear that they can’t, and won’t, if they can help it, allow Donald Trump to be president again. In fact, they made this clear in 2020, in a series of public statements. Simply for quoting their words in an essay for The American Mind, I was mercilessly mocked and attacked. But they were quite clear. Trump won’t be president at noon, Jan. 20, 2021, even if we have to use the military to drag him out of there.

There’s an approach by Democrats to problem-solving that is becoming increasingly common, and it’s a tactic that focuses on our language. Rather than fixing problems, they instead attempt to either eliminate words from our daily lexicon or simply change the definition of the word. In March in the deep blue state of New Jersey, for instance, we saw the practice in action when state lawmakers eliminated the word “inmate” from their criminal code in favor of “incarcerated person.” We saw another example of it this week when the Biden Administration insisted on trying to redefine the term “recession.”
The first Biden administration press secretary, Jen Psaki, was snarky and dishonest but she wasn’t stupid. The same cannot be said about Karine Jean-Pierre. Jean-Pierre, who defines herself by her race, gender, and sexuality, rather than by her abilities (which is really sad when you think about it), is staggeringly bad at her job, daily exposing the vast chasm behind her eyes and between her ears. The latest example is her response when asked about why it’s fine for the administration to fly illegal aliens across America but not fine for Texas to send them to Biden’s and Jean-Pierre’s hometown of Washington D.C.
I have no idea where the video came from, but I think it’s worth noting because it seems to show that the Democrat party has so successfully racialized America in the last 15 years or so that we are beginning to live out Charles Manson’s “Helter Skelter” madness. Manson’s dream was to destroy society, so it’s up to us to recognize what’s going on and fight back against this almost apocalyptic racial division.
The video is a simple one: Someone inside a busy urban venue (it seems like a coffee shop) is filming a brutal beatdown on the street outside. Two young Black men are attacking an older White man.
There is perhaps no better example of a privileged, leftist elitist than the Duke of Sussex: aka Britain’s Prince Harry. He was born with a platinum spoon in his mouth and has lived a life so detached from reality that he can’t begin to relate to regular folks, yet he somehow feels empowered, or perhaps obligated, to lecture the rest of us after a caviar brunch and immediately prior to being whisked away with bodyguards in a limousine.
Add to the equation Harry’s apparently unavoidable penchant for condescension and pompousness, along with his complete betrayal of his family, and the prince
The House GOP leadership has released a brief and vague two-page policy platform on border security for the 2022 election, after more than a year of inaction.
Titled “House Republicans: We Must Secure the Southern Border,” the low-drama paper ignores the voter-mobilizing, economic impact of legal and illegal migration, and was released on a Friday before the weekend.
But the platform does include significant promises of 2023 legislation to reform current laws on asylum, parole, and other high-profile issues outside the narrow issue of border control.
A key measure of inflation showed prices soaring by more than expected in June.
The personal consumption expenditure price index rose by 6.8 percent compared with 12 months earlier, an acceleration of inflation from the 6.3 percent annual gain in May, according to data released Friday by the Bureau of Economic Analysis. Economists had expected a slightly lower reading of 6.6 percent. This is the biggest year-0ver-year gain since January of 1982.

After Authorizing Resumed Construction

The White House said Friday that border walls were ineffective, even though President Joe Biden’s administration authorized more construction on former President Donald Trump’s signature border security project.
“A border wall is an ineffective use of taxpayer dollars,” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said during the daily briefing.
The Department of Homeland Security said Thursday they would resume construction on four wide gaps in the wall near Yuma, Arizona, that were not completed yet. When Biden took office, he halted the construction of the wall, but some gaps remain.
The announcement signals a betrayal of Biden’s campaign promise to cease wall construction entirely.

Rethinking Higher Education
replies
The coronavirus pandemic has taken a toll on college enrollments. Overall, undergraduate enrollments have declined by 9.4 percent, or about 1.4 million students. The most obvious reasons for the decline are the disruptions caused by the virus. However, some experts feel that increasing numbers of high school graduates are concluding that college is just too expensive, which is not surprising considering the costs of college have more than doubled over the last 20 years. All of which suggests it might be an appropriate time to begin to rethink American higher education and examine alternatives to it.

For the past few days, I’ve been trying to explain to a millennial the concept of that “Great America” that is encompassed in Trump’s MAGA slogan (“Make America Great Again”). Marinated in modern academia, which hates America, he simply doesn’t get it. Perhaps that’s why I was stunned by the perspicacity in Michael Anton’s latest, which looks at the ruling class’s vision of America, a vision that, in its own way, is even more antithetical to the MAGA viewpoint than this young man’s generalized disdain.
