Glad to see the WH framing the LA riots as LAW AND ORDER issue. Because ARTICLE IV, SECTION 4 is IDEAL for dealing with what the left has planned this summer, and beyond. And part of that is the linguistic TRAP of using the word “insurrection.” Let me explain… 1/

Good thread. DoDEA is the controlling body that sets school curriculum for U.S. schools at military bases, including overseas.

Santa Ono's rejection. Opponents of DEI have long suspected that the embrace of DEI among university leaders is more opportunistic than fanatical. Ono turned out to be a fanatical opportunist, a man without honor or integrity.

"Brian Wilson was one of those rare composers whose work only got better and deeper as he matured." With the news of Beach Boys creator Brian Wilson's passing, we're reminded of Michael Anton's Paradise Lost and Regained: The Beach Boys' Smile is an American masterpiece.

"...patriotism is an inclination and a duty to love one’s own. Accordingly, it will lead us to cheer for our own, fight for our own, and then do business with our own." Center for the American Way of Life's Carson Holloway makes the case for Trump's patriotic view of trade. americanmind.org/salvo/trumps-p…

Nah. A good time to revisit the great sociologist Ed Banfield’s classic essay, “Rioting Mainly for Fun and Profit.” You can find it in this collection: abebooks.com/products/isbn/…
