THE PRIORITIES OF THE VOTERS ARE SHARPLY DIFFERENT FROM THE PRIORITIES OF THE RULING CLASS: “Axios commissioned a Harris poll and discovered something unsurprising, even if the establishment was shocked. Americans support mass deportations of illegal aliens.”
Pretty much all of our institutions are now set up to ensure that the ruling class gets to enact its priorities instead of the voters’; that has worked so well that much of the ruling class is unaware of what the voters’ priorities even are.
I’VE NEVER BEEN MORE GLAD THAT IT’S RIOT SEASON NOW — THAT MEANS WE’VE GOTTEN THE LOCKDOWNS OUT OF THE WAY ALREADY: Bird flu could jump to humans any day. A former surgeon general says it feels like 2020 again.

RICH LOWRY: It’s Columbia 1968 — the antisemitic version.
Israel is to today’s radicals what the Pentagon was to 1968’s.
Just as the protesters back then demanded the university cut ties with a Defense Department outfit doing research for the Vietnam War, today’s radicals want the university to divest from Israel.
The essential argument is the same — that Columbia bears moral responsibility for crimes against humanity committed in an imperialist war.
Yesteryear’s agitators might have been surprised to learn that student demonstrators acting in the tradition of 1968 have been discomfiting and harassing Jews and expressing support for a horrific terrorist assault.
Here too, though, there are connections to 1968, at least its more extreme elements.
The famed Columbia protest leader Mark Rudd went on to become part of the violent Weather Underground.
The Weather Underground you say? A generation from now, who will emerge from these protests as having shaped American politics at the highest level?

ELON MUSK vs. the Globalist Censors. “Australia’s top thoughtcop – let’s call a spade a spade – is one Julie Inman Grant. She has the power under the Online Safety Act 2021 to demand the removal of ‘Class 1 material’ from the internet. That’s anything that depicts ‘revolting or abhorrent phenomena [that] offend against the standards of morality, decency and propriety’. The vast bulk of what gets wiped off the web is child porn. Sometimes clips of violence are culled, too. Right now, Ms Inman Grant is seeking to excise a video of a stabbing. But here’s the twist: she doesn’t only want to block Aussie eyes from seeing it, but everyone’s eyes. Everyone in the world. All of us. Tyrant much?”
Australia is basically reverting to its prison origins.
TRUTH ISN’T A DEFENSE: A judge on the Superior Court in San Diego has been disqualified from hearing cases under the Racial Justice Act on the ground of bias. In part he is accused of having said: “There is absolutely no evidence that … the proportion of persons in an ethnicity committing a crime must be the same as the proportion in the population.” The problem, of course, is that statement is plainly true.
