Most of you know that the universities are being destroyed as a haven for knowledge and debate, but it's surprising to see this happening at Christian universities. Students at Taylor U are apoplectic that VP Mike Pence was asked to speak at graduation.
Is college worth the cost? A lot of students aren't learning anything of substance. One reason is that more diversity is lowering standards.
The Southern Policy Law Center which used to be a force for good in civil rights, has become a skam organization devoted to fund raising. Unfortunately, it's taken seriously as it lists Christian organizations as "hate groups"
The Iraq war began sixteen years ago. There is a myth about the war that Ari Fleisher wants to set straight for years. After no WMDs were found, the left claimed "Bush lied. People died." This accusation itself is a lie.
Roger Simon says the american media destroyed themselves over the Mueller investigation.
A NYT review of a book about the history of forced sterilization in America.
San Antonio is banning Chic-fil-A from their airport in violation of the First Amendment. I really like their sandwiches. On that same subject, the Babylon Bee reports that protestors claim victory after blocking access to a Chic-fil-A for an entire Sunday. The Bee is of course a satire site with terrific humor.
Government planners do not understand markets, so they promote overly pricey projects that fail to meet our real-world transportation needs. Rail transit is an obvious example. More here on the fallacy of high-speed rail.
If you dispute the inflated and inconsistent claims of global warming alarmists, you are denounced as anti-science. You may even find yourself under investigation. But is catastrophic anthropogenic global warming actually a scientific theory at all?
Remember the scandals in Virginia involving the top three leaders? They just disappeared because it would hurt the Democrats.
The Democrats want to get rid of the Electoral College because it works. It works to preserve the United States.
Men who identify as women are competing in women's sports; in the process destroying women's college athletics.
With the Mueller report coming out, the question arises: when did he know there was no collusion?

Recycling isn't working
Even the New York Times has figured out that residential recycling is a huge waste of money and other resources since there's no way to recycle all those cans and papers that conscientious people are sorting every day.
The big lie about climate change. And here's a shorter version telling the same story the earth is cooling.
A new HBO documentary on Theranos, the amazing story of a charismatic leader raising $700 million for a technology that didn't work.
An interesting article on the Spanish Inquisition and how driving the Jews out of Spain destroyed the economy. An important lesson for modern anti-semites.
Mick Jagger, a British citizen, can get free health care in his home country. Like many rich and famous people, he went to the US for treatment, because it's better and quicker. What does this say about "Medicare for all"?
NASA fired some rockets into the Northern Lights to do an experiment. Here's the interesting picture. You can see the movie here.
Here's a survey of the 25 most loved brands in the US. Apple didn't make the list.
By now, you have heard that Benjamin Netanyahu won a new term as Prime Minister. What I found interesting in this article in The Times of Israel is how many parties there are in Israel. That sounds like something we need here instead of just two.
Audrey Hepburn was a resistance spy in World War 2. Here is the story told in a new book.
Somewhere up at Boeing there's a programmer that thought using just one angle-of-attack sensors to control the airplane was a good idea. Apparently, they break on a regular basis.
You probably thought that Quantum Mechanics, like global warming, was settled science. There's a new book out that disputes Einstein's theory.
Nobody wants to buy Valerie Jarrett's book, so how did it make the NYT's best seller list?
World War II pilot Dick Cole, the last surviving member of the Doolittle Raid, died last week at age 103. Here's an article from NPR. In his memory, here's a painting of the Hornet sailing under the Golden Gate Bridge. It's by artist William S. Phillips, and is so good that people on Facebook were arguing over whether it was photo-shopped.

Three Mile Island
It's been 40 years since the Three Mile Island incident. Did anything bad happen? Nothing bad happened to the people in the area, but the future of nuclear power was changed forever needlessly, amd nuclear power remains the safest form of energy—safer than wind and sunshine.
The mayor of Baltimore wrote a children's book. She sat on the board of the University of Maryland Medical System hospital, which bought 100,000 copies of her book.
Remember 911? A lot of people don't. We said we would never forget.

How to know the truth
This is a pretty insightful article on how to know the truth about current events. Just assume that the left is lying about any subject and you will know what's true.
It is well established that fluid injections are causing small earthquakes in Oklahoma. Here's an instance of the same thing happening in South Korea, inducing the government to shut down a geothermal power plant. Geothermal is of course one of the clean energy sources.
Here's a cool time lapse video of planet Earth as it goes through the seasons.
How Chief Justice Roberts negotiated to save Obamacare.
This is a fairly interesting article about Robert Mueller which may cause you to rethink your opinion of him. He spent three years in the Marines and was decorated for fighting in Viet Nam.
Governor Scott Walker with an insightful lecture on marginal tax rates.
Even the Washington Post is critical of the media coverage of the Trump investigation. And if you'ree really into criticism of the media, here's more.
This analysis of the effect on the media by the Mueller results comes highly recommended by Scott Adams, the only person to predict Trumps victory a year ahead of time. Mark Taibbi thinks reporting has been a joke and needs a lot of words to cover their mistakes.
Sharyl Attkinsson thinks the press owes Trump an apology.
The top 20 Mueller memes.
This black Christian was disinvited from a discussion at Cornell University because of her views.

Restorative Justice
There is a thing called “restorative justice.” Based on a highly dubious proposition — that black and Hispanic offenders are punished disproportionately to white students engaged in similar behavior. It is keeping the good kids from learning. There's a reason minorities were getting suspended more.
The fascinating story of the humble zipper, a lesson in business. Did you know Levi's developed during the gold rush didn't have zippers until 1947 despite being patented in 1893?
This is seriously stupid: US judge halts hundreds of drilling projects in groundbreaking climate change ruling.
China has stopped accepting our trash, which means there's no place to put recyclable plastic and paper except in the city dump. Is this the beginning of the end for household recycling?
Something strange is happening at America’s colleges and universities. A movement is arising, undirected and driven largely by students, to scrub campuses clean of words, ideas, and subjects that might cause discomfort or give offense. This is another step in the end of education in America.
The University of Pennsylvania is upset. How come nobody is cheating and bribing to gain entry to this excellent school?
An Oxford mathematician who regular debates intellectual atheists explains why he's a follower of Jesus.
President Carter actually accomplished something. Nasty, 3ft-long parasitic worms are on the cusp of being wiped from the planet. Enjoy the pictures.
KOMO news in Seattle has a story on why the city is dying: it's the benevolent treatment of homeless people. Also mentioned are Portland and San Francisco.
The news has been full of reports on the New Zealand massacre of Muslims. Nowhere do you hear about the massacre of Christians.
The Southern Poverty Law Center publishes maps of "hate groups" that other institutions actually use. Turns out the SPLC has some problems of its own.

The Case for Trump
Victor Davis Hanson has a new book out: "The Case for Trump" available on amazon. If you want to have some fun, read the reviews. There are only two choices: five stars or one star. The one star reviews seem to lack serious analysis, so I suspect they are from liberals.
The reason that renewables can't save the planet. Wind and solar just don't meet the needs.
More here on the subject from Forbes: the real reason they hate nuclear is because it means we don't need renewable energy sources.
Socialism’s millennial fans don’t even know what it is. Millennials — ignorant of socialism’s appalling economic and human-rights history — increasingly embrace socialism and its naively unrealistic prescriptions for ending all human want.
Something unusual. How smart is your dog? Here's a dog puzzle and IQ test. You hide treats under the sliding disks and your dog moves them to find the treats.
Which states will take the most of your income in taxes. Here's the list. Since all taxes are included, you will need to dig down to see your personal situation. For example, several states charge no income tax, so if you have no income, the benefit is minimal.
On the other hand, the cost of housing is important. To rent a 1-bedroom apartment in San Francisco will cost almost $4000 a month. That will buy you a pretty nice house in Grass Valley.
A good short video lecture on the differences between Socialism and Capitalism.
The Democrat party is imploding. Here's the details.
Jeffery Epstein is a pedophile who regular flew guests to a private island on the "Lolita Express". Because of the names of some of the guests, (including a former president) this didn't get much news coverage until they were able to link him to Trump.
One of the longest running climate prediction blunders has disappeared from the Internet: Snowfalls are now just a thing of the past".
If you like to eat, then you should be cheering global warming. CO2 is used to grow vegetables and doesn't seem to be heating the planet much.

There had been much about the Methodist Church going LGBTQ, but it seems the conservative Christians just took over.
Roger Simon thinks the Democrats made a strategic error by scheduling the Cohen testimony during the North Koran nuclear talks.
Michael Barone thinks Democrats getting out on dangerously left-wing limb.

The broad swath of the Trump-hating press that has participated in what has amounted to an unconstitutional attempt to overthrow the government. This is the real scandal of Trump's term.
Liberty is not possible for an unarmed society: a through analysis of Socialism and the need for citizens to have guns.
The Southern Poverty Law Center has added another Christian group to its list of hate organizations.
South Africa has squandered its opportunities and is on the path to becoming a failed state. Government profiteering, race tensions, and shortages are ruining the country.
