Can we cut the tentacles of foreign mud money out of academia? I doubt it, just make it transparent so that parents have choices where they shouldn’t send their children. I think Chris Christie should drop out and give Nikki Haley a shot at beating Trump. The ONLY ONE BIDEN CAN BEAT IS TRUMP. We don’t need a rematch from hell, and we don’t need an Obama’s 4th term. Two wars and more coming with Biden.
I really, really want a Trump-Ramaswamy ticket. I know Vivek said he wouldn't accept that, but seriously. Those two would straight talk 'America-first' fire breath from here to Brussels to Beijing. We need them.
Editorially, allow me to rewrite the lede of "Bombs and Bloodshed in Iran."
Bomb blasts IN IRAN killed over 100 people YESTERDAY at a ceremony to mark the ONE-YEAR anniversary of the death of former Iranian Revolutionary Guard leader Qasem Soleimani.
NOT: "Bomb blasts killed over 100 people at a ceremony to mark the anniversary of the death of former Iranian Revolutionary Guard leader Qasem Soleimani in Iran yesterday."
I really don't get the Nikki Haley love fest. Other people have said it better, but she's just John McCain in a nice dress! There is not a past, current or future war that she would not support. Blaming Putin for the October 7 massacre? Yikes! Please go away Ms. Haley!
Since DEI is on its way to becoming politically incorrect, the U of Texas committees that will still do that covertly ought to rename themselves IED. Not only is that explosive but it’s a nod to Israel if you read right to left.
The news has been more draining than usual, so it’s good to have a forum for both deeper discussion and this almost-clever suggestion
If one is teaching a college or graduate level history seminar it's plausible to suggest that the American Civil War was as much about economics as it was about slavery. The North was industrial & the South agrarian & dependent on slaves. Many of the founding Fathers including Adams & Franklin owned slaves. Today a politician when asked about the War MUST answer with Slavery. Without slavery there woudn't have been a war.
RE: Any other suggestions for what Texas universities should call DEI departments now that DEI is banned?
I like DIE (Division, Inequity and Exclusion). And the department's motto could be "Let Freedom DIE." Seems fitting.

Umm BATED not baited, and PORING not pouring. Come on TFP you can do better!
what should Texas universities call DEI departments now that DEI is banned?
The Bureau for Underrepresented Likenesses, Learners, Students, Humans, and Indigenous Transpeople
(aka B.U.L.L.S.H.I.T.)

How about the university "Office of Tacit Racism Aimed Only at Those Against Whom It Is Acceptable to Discriminate".
"Gay described her skirmish as “merely a single skirmish in a broader war to unravel public faith in pillars of American society.”"
Always accuse others of what you are doing, its the literal playbook.
Is there anyone unravelling public faith in institutions faster than Woke Progressives?
Gay is a one person wrecking ball considering how much she has destroyed.
Did anybody check Gay's op-ed for plagiarism? If not, I hope the current MIT president can use it as a template for her future departure.
Nellie had the better argument while my personal opinion agrees with Peter. Go figure.
RE: Free Press Fight Club. The notion that Nellie Bowles likes both Gavin Newsom AND Chris Christie is almost too much to bear.
More gin, fewer tennis balls. Please.

You're welcome.

I’ve watched Ricky’s opening monologue probably 20+ times and I still stopped reading to watch. So brilliant.

It's "poring", not pouring.
