By: Joe Klein， Substack

The ways and means of elite universities stand as a metaphor for the road the academic-left has traveled away from the rest of America.

'Remember Us': How To Fight Media Bombholing

By: Mark Judge， Chronicles
A couple years ago the journalist Matt Taibbi came up with a telling new term for the way the media works in our time: bombholing. Bombholing is the practice of publishing wild and unsubstantiated stories in the press, then sending those same stories down the memory hole when they turn out to be false. Then the media hits viewers with a new "bombshell," which makes people forget the old "bombshell." Viewers are led "from mania to mania."

What's Happening in Texas Is an Assault on Our Democracy

By: Peniel Joseph， CNN
For nearly a decade, I have been honored to be a faculty member at the University of Texas at Austin. As a scholar whose research and teaching hinge on histories of racism and activism, this April was an exceptionally harsh one for me - and for all of Longhorn Nation. A month that began with the gutting of resources devoted to our students has ended with shocking scenes of crackdowns by law enforcement in our midst. I have been left heartbroken. This spring, our motto, "What Starts Here Changes the World," has taken on a bitterly ironic meaning.

More than six months have passed since the deadly attacks of Oct. 7, 2023.

At Penn, I have been reporting on the ground while protesters chanted "Israelis are pigs," and "Al-Qassam make us proud, take another soldier down." Our famous Ben Franklin statue was even vandalized with the KKK slur "Zios get fuckt." How did the...

The Lagash Lounge

By: John Hamilton， RealClearPolitics
In 2023, an Italo-American archaeological team announced their discovery of a 5,000-year-old tavern in Lagash, an ancient city-state capital in southern Iraq. A cuneiform tablet found among the ruins carried a recipe for beer, which the team believed to be the bar's most popular beverage, even exceeding water. Photos of the site showed piles of broken pottery "mugs" strewn about. The Lagash Lounge must have held a heck of a party the night it closed down.

What To Do When You're Canceled

By: Ilya Shapiro， City Journal
It can happen to anyone. A bad tweet, viral video, or something you say (or text, post, e-mail, or Slack) gets blown out of proportion. Then comes a public pile-on or an official investigation, followed by punishment or ostracism. Cancel culture-the mob-like desire to punish politically incorrect speech-has made modern life into a minefield.

Could Trump Unlock Longer-Term GOP Presidential Success?

By: J.T. Young，＆nbsp；RCP
If Trump wins the White House in November, when will Republicans leave it? Just because Trump is limited to one more term doesn't mean that Republicans are. America's presidential past, Biden's mistakes in office, and a continuity of conservative populism without Trump's baggage could trigger Republican presidential success beyond 2024. Viewed in its broader potential, a Trump victory in November may not be Democrats' biggest worry.
