Madcap Campus Hijinx

Deaf Jewish Students at Gallaudet University Forced to Hide From Antisemitic Mob [More]

That badged lump with his hands in his pockets looks like quite the deterrent.

Still, I’m having a tough time getting outraged, except for over the obvious.

Me, I’m hoping that young haranguer in a hijab and thousands like her put on a show at the Democrat Convention. I’m also hoping for some lively antics at tonight’s State of the Union.

“Mental health is already downhill,” said student Loran Jackson. “Why would you even try to put a gun in their hands when they’re mentally not thinking all right?” [More]

The only one in this story mentally not thinking all right appears to be you, Loran.

And the “goal would not be to take another human life,” Virginia, and if you decide to carry, take that language out of your vocabulary lest it come back to haunt you. The goal is to stop an attack, to live.

The Best and the Brightest

A new complaint accuses Alade McKen, Columbia University Medical School’s Diversity, Equity, Inclusion (DEI) chief, of plagiarizing his dissertation, including material from Wikipedia. [More]

That’s because, according to a survey of race-hustling bellyachers with an axe to grind, he had to cheat twice as hard.

I guess that diminishes what my wife and I had to go through with all those minimum wage service and labor jobs in high school and college.

The protests are now havens for foreign students, especially those from Arab and Muslim countries, with their own set of nationalist and tribal grievances against Israel and the United States. In some cases, such foreign students appear to lead the protests in their pro-terrorism chants—some of which are in Arabic, or translations of Arabic slogans. [More]

Rigorous!

What do you want to bet after a terrorist massacre, government traitors counting on this come down with more “Patriot Act”-restrictions on us, “the greatest threat”? Especially if “assault weapons” are used!

The Nutty Professor

You DON’T need an assault weapon to protect your family or house, nor do you need one for hunting, unless you are hunting elephants. The Only ones that need assault weapons is the military and law enforcement. [More]

It figures some insulated Piled Higher and Deeper ivory tower moron who would take on an elephant with a .223 would also express childlike faith in the “Only Ones“…

Meanwhile, Across the Pond…

Hospitals in the United Kingdom have begun using the term “chestfeeding” instead of “breastfeeding,” just years after U.S. academics published a study in which they argued that the promotion of breastfeeding as the “natural” way to feed a child has many negative societal effects. [More]

Talk about milking something for all it’s worth…

What they’re really going for is actualizing an obscene Mr. Natural feeeding a baby underground comic from 50 years ago (and you’ll either know what I’m talking about or you won’t, but I ain’t linking).

I wonder if they think this will make all those “refugees” more or less bold about taking over…

Politico’s Jonathan Martin Can’t Understand Why Anyone’s Talking About the News When There’s FOOTBALL On [More]

I have to say I can’t understand why anyone is surprised that Harvard is run by subversive leeches or expect them to behave any differently, or that when cornered the cowards would throw one of their own under the bus, but I gotta say I’m getting a kick out of seeing another Prizker exposed for what they all are.

And I totally understand why “real reporters” are what they are and do what they do. Martin is the “journalist” who figured the best way to end an article about Obama grilling “would-be appointees” with personal questions about their guns with this quote:

“The real question is whether he’s doing harm to the broader image of Democrats on guns, and the answer is probably no,” he said. “It may gin up 350,000 hard-core NRA types, but it won’t really bother 65 million other gun owners.”
