Harvard has announced a hiring freeze, although they don’t quite call it that. The language is turgid, but the point comes through: Universities throughout the nation face substantial financial uncertainties driven by rapidly shifting federal policies. Yes, we now have an administration that is opposed to anti-Semitism. Effective immediately, Harvard will » Read more... Responses March 10, 2025 — Steven HaywardThe Daily Chart: Measly MeaslesSo Democrats and the media (but I repeat) are in full whoop war cry about an uptick in measles cases this year, and it’s only sheer coincidence that the Dem-media are shining a spotlight on this story right after RFK Jr. became secretary of Health and Human Services.  Stop the presses: measles is not “making a comeback.” Here’s the long-term trend in measles in the U.S., showing that measles cases »Read more...

He took over as governor of a state that had always been low-crime, and now, for the first time ever, Minnesota’s serious crime rate is higher than the national average. He became governor of a state that had long been prosperous, and after six years, again for the first time ever, Minnesota’s per capita GDP is below the national average. Despite spending astonishing amounts of money, »Read more... Responses March 10, 2025 — John HinderakerTerrorism on the LeftOn the American Left, the fascist impulse is never far below the surface. At the moment, the leftists’ number one target is Elon Musk. They are invading Tesla showrooms, vandalizing Teslas, selling bumper stickers denouncing Musk–ironically!–as a fascist, because he wants to shrink the size of government and reduce its power. You can’t make this stuff up. BREAKING: HUNDREDS of New Yorkers have swarmed and shut down the Tesla dealer »Read more... Responses March 10, 2025 — Scott JohnsonTucker does IranThis past November, Erica Orden reported that “Iran ordered an operative to assassinate Trump before the election, federal prosecutors say.” Politico posted the criminal complaint online here. Unfortunately, the alleged would-be assassin is believed to be in Iran and remains at large. The same criminal complaint also charges two other men — Carlisle Rivera and Jonathan Loadholt — with a separate attempted murder-for-hire scheme targeting an American citizen of Iranian »Read more... Responses March 9, 2025 — Steven HaywardVance Memes Trolling the Humorless LeftFor some strange reason I recently picked up and flipped through a few pages of a long-forgotten memoir from the old “popular front” days of the 1930s, I Change Worlds by Anna Louise Strong. Strong was a true-believing Stalinist, and her account of the glorious Soviet Five-Year Plans, the communal spirit of Soviet workers, and the glittering industrial accomplishments of the Soviet regime make for comical reading today. It culminates »Read more... Responses March 9, 2025 — John HinderakerDrain the Swamp!It is a truism of polling that the answer you get depends on the question you ask. This is why, for example Democrats are always rattling on about “MAGA”–MAGA polls poorly. On the other hand, what happens if you ask voters about draining the swamp? Rasmussen asked: “Do you agree or disagree with the following statement – ‘It’s time to drain the swamp in Washington, D.C.’?” President Donald Trump’s repeated »Read more... Responses March 9, 2025 — Scott JohnsonRedistributing daylightDaylight saving time is mistakenly credited to Benjamin Franklin. It may still be a good idea even if it wasn’t inspired by Franklin. Nevertheless, I find the commencement of daylight saving time today annoying. As a morning person, I am not the least bit pleased by the extension of dawn by an hour so early in the year. By the same token, do we really need to move sunset back »Read more... Responses March 8, 2025 — Steven HaywardPodcast Time: the 3WHH on Sister Souljah, and Ricochet with Gerard BakerAnother two-fer podcast Saturday, with the 3WHH back to full strength (both in personnel and in whisky), with John Yoo in the host chair skillfully leading our unruly gang in a round-robin three-subject format that we’re alternating this year. I lead off wondering if Gavin Newsom, and Senate Democrats, are at last having their “Sister Souljah” moment about the transgender millstone around their neck, though I point out that Democrats »Read more... Responses March 8, 2025 — Scott JohnsonFeeding Our Fraud: Aimee Bock takes the standJudge Brasel held a pretrial hearing in another serious multiparty criminal case from 9:00 until about 10:45 yesterday morning. The case allegedly involves members of Minneapolis’s Highs gang. It’s charged as a RICO case. Earlier this week Judge Brasel sentenced one of the co-defendants in the case — Deandre Poe, a.k.a. “Squizzy” or “Fat Squad” — to 168 months in prison.

Responses March 9, 2025 — Steven HaywardScenes from the Gender MeltdownWe noted here the other day that Gavin Newsom had his own “Sister Souljah moment” over transgender women in women’s sports (and several other issues), which has ignited a predictable new front in the civil war inside the Democratic Party. Democrat grandee Debbie Wasserman Schultz has dissented already, saying “We have to stand on principle and make sure that everyone is treated equally. I’m not shrinking away from this issue.” »Read more... Responses March 9, 2025 — John HinderakerA Realistic Future For GazaFrance, Germany, Italy and the U.K. are now backing the Egyptian/Arab plan to rebuild Gaza at a cost of $53 billion, while leaving the Gazans in place. This proposal is touted as a “realistic” alternative to President Trump’s “Middle East Riviera” concept. Perhaps I am an outlier here, but I am not in favor of any plan to rebuild Gaza at the expense of others. Should Gaza’s attempted genocide really »Read more... Responses March 9, 2025 — Scott JohnsonSunday morning coming downI’ve posted a remembrance of singer-songwriter Jesse Winchester every few years since his death in 2014. In search of a musical change of pace I thought I would draw on my tribute for this expanded edition some ten years on. I saw Jesse Winchester perform on the St. Paul campus of the University of Minnesota some 40 years years ago and he bowled me over. There couldn’t have been more »Read more... Responses March 8, 2025 — John HinderakerPerkins Coie Reaps the WhirlwindTop Democratic Party lawyer Marc Elias and his then-law firm, Perkins Coie, played a disgraceful part in the Russia collusion hoax. I am not sure why no one in the Hillary Clinton campaign, nor anyone at Perkins Coie, was criminally prosecuted as a result of that fraud, which included the filing of false documents with the FEC. Perhaps investigators concluded that no crime was committed, or perhaps a policy decision »Read more...

Vance needed to be the newest object of memortalization. (Yes, I made up that word.) I kept chanting to myself, “Musk. Not. Give. In!” (I see what you did there!)
