Hamilton Awards Speech: “The Only True ‘Safe Space’ is Liberty and Freedom”

“The only true ‘safe space’ is liberty and freedom”: Heather Mac Donald’s rousing Hamilton Awards speech.

“Can we have a reality check here? Every American college student today, no matter his race or gender, is among the most privileged individuals in human history. Millions of Chinese students are at this very moment studying their butts off in the hope of gaining access to the intellectual resources that American students take for granted.”

These Aren’t The Justice-Involved Individuals You’re Looking For | Stately McDaniel Manor

“The only reasonable conclusion is that Progressives, who essentially control most of our institutions of “higher learning,” and who are so worried about the “rape culture” that has turned their worker’s paradises into places no rational woman would think to set foot, want to solve the problem of the rape culture by importing as many known—actually, unknown to them–rapists and other kinds of criminals as possible. What are the rapes, even the lives, of 25% and more of college women compared to Progressive ideological purity?”

School sends deputy to warn 7-year-old about Bible verses

“Officials at a California public grade school who dispatched a sheriff’s deputy to stop a 7-year-old from sharing Bible verses with his classmates because someone could be “offended” now are being warned of “civil rights violations.” The student regularly shared notes from his mother containing Bible verses that were tucked into his lunch at Desert […]”

The Democrat says in his heart,
“There is no God.”
Their deeds are loathsome and corrupt;
not one does what is good.

All have gone astray;
all alike are perverse.
Not one does what is good,
not even one.

Psalms 14: 1, 3 (NAB)

College Then and Now: Letter to a Bright Young Woman | Fred On Everything

“The purpose of college was the making of cultivated men and women who would understand the world to the extent that it has proved willing to be understood. This meant the liberal arts. “Liberal” didn’t mean “lefty” or “nice.” It implied a broad grounding in languages, literature, history, the sciences, mathematics, economics, philosophy, and art and music.”

How I Acted Like A Pundit And Screwed Up On Donald Trump

“Since Donald Trump effectively wrapped up the Republican nomination this month, I’ve seen a lot of critical self-assessments from empirically minded journalists — FiveThirtyEight included, tw…”

I read this and couldn’t help thinking of the rise of the Mule in Isaac Asimov’s book ‘Foundation and Empire’. The Mule wasn’t predicted by Hari Seldon in the book and the pundits and pollsters didn’t predict Trump. Panic ensued in the book and now in real life.
