Wars are rarely kind to the wide-ranging pursuit of the truth. The same goes for culture wars, including the war over fraternities. Harvard University’s recent decision to penalize students who join “final clubs” and other single-sex social organizations is one front in that war. In sober moments, opponents of all-male social organizations concede that they have “positive qualities.” But they demonize them anyway: “the influence of these organizations on campus life and in shaping mindsets,” says one Harvard committee, “is impossible to escape.” No time for nuance when one seeks to break and control the violence of frat boys. Similarly,...

It limits employment to 18-20 year olds. Ineligible for the NFL but good for those who don't belong in a big time college program where they are used as indentured servants for 3+ years. $50k/yr + enrollment at a local community college. NFL style football rather than the spread style college game which is unsuited for training for the NFL. It fills a BIG void. Gainful employment and no pressure as students/celebrities. They can pay their bills while getting more NFL ready. Would it work? Anything that would get the thugs off campus would help clean up the graft going...

When did America lose it’s sense of humor? Sometime between 2000, when George W. won the presidency with hanging chads that led to the left’s unshakeable belief that it was a “stolen election,” and 9/11. The terrorist attack on New York immediately led to mostly leftist declarations of the end of irony, led by Graydon Carter, then editor of Vanity Fair:  "There's going to be a seismic change. I think it's the end of the age of irony."  At about the same time Roger Rosenblatt wrote in an essay for Time: “One good thing could come from this horror: it...

True Pundit has verified the Arkansas Judiciary has reinstated Hillary Clinton’s suspended law license, just days ago — 17 years after it was suspended. Hillary announced last week she would not seek the presidency in 2020 but the quiet mysterious reinstatement of her law license sets the stage for a possible Attorney General post, according to Clinton and DC insiders. Or perhaps the Supreme Court? Revenge personified. Hillary’s law license was reinstated on March 4, 2019, according to Arkansas officials. It had been suspended since March 14, 2002, according to records. The Arkansas Judiciary lists Clinton’s address as a PO...

BOSTON — During a guest lecture at Boston University on Monday, University of Washington Professor Robin DiAngelo told the audience a “dangerous white person” sees people as individuals rather than by skin color. DiAngelo, whose main field of work is “whiteness studies,” added that those who say they were taught to treat everyone the same deny black people of their reality, she said. (snip) DiAngelo’s comments were couched during a section of her talk titled “What Does It Mean To Be White” that discussed colorblindness and those who say “I was taught to treat everyone the same, or some version...

These crazy guys built a homemade cannon using some weird scraps. Such as a frame of a Ford Model T and the suspension of a John Deere 7700, Scott Welker of Leg Arms made this real functional cannon. The video, posted on Welker Farms Inc Youtube, shows these folks shooting at a number of different targets, including the side of a building, an old sedan, a preowned Ford Escape and some random junk. They mix up the projectiles, too, as they start with a whole size turkey before moving on to an actual cannonball. Watching the turkey against the building...

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is an actress. – Everyone should watch this video. Trust me, just watch it. It’ll be the best 23 minutes you invest this week. I’m going to keep this pinned at the top of each piece I post for the next few days in order to maximize its – and her – exposure. Paul Begala is an anti-Semitic sleaze. – The man with the highest forehead on television referred to Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump as “cockroaches” in a clear effort to dehumanize the Jewish couple in the minds of...

On a cold afternoon in late January, I pulled into an industrial side-street of Saint Petersburg. There, I met with a man who I’ll refer to as “Oleg.” Oleg drives a 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee ZJ—an “Orvis Edition” with a 5.2-liter V8. As we stood chatting by the hood of his car, many heads turned, and a fair share of strangers offered their thumbs up. A few others asked if the car was for sale, to which Oleg responded, ominously: “takiye mashini ne prodayutsya” (“cars like this don’t go up for sale”). In America, the Grand Cherokee ZJ is at...

Five days after 19 Muslims destroyed the World Trade Center and attacked the Pentagon, the political protege of unrepentant terrorist Bill Ayers, Barack Obama, attended his church. Instead of quoting Jesus and the Bible, the preacher, Jeremiah Wright, quoted a Muslim. Instead of offering comfort and hope, Wright spiked the ball. "America's chickens are coming home," he shouted with joy. The crowd cheered. For eight years, we pretended that Obama was some sort of patriot -- some sort of genius -- some sort of Christian -- some sort of American. Nonsense. No American would have stayed as Wright praised terrorism...

In today's stunning news of a college bribery scandal alleging that ultrawealthy, well-connected, privileged elites conspired with a college preparatory business to falsify their children's test scores and bribe university officials to get them into the country's top schools, is this bit of high-weirdness, reported in CNN: In one case, [Rick Singer, founder of the college prep firm called The Key] even worked with parents to take staged photos of their child engaged in particular sports. In another example, they used stock photos of a person playing a sport and then put the face of a student onto that of...

I do photoshop, but I don't know how to morph AOC into the joker she so richly deserves.

Regardless of migration plans, Facebook users need to rethink connections to a social media Leviathan with shadowy connections to the Deep State, or to the censors who support Americans in name only. Facebook users need to vacate this online version Throughout 2018, social media giants came under serious scrutiny from the federal government. It was a different Administration, and in the aftermath of the data breach of sensitive personal information off of Facebook via Cambridge Analytica as a way of profiling and cataloguing political preferences of American voters, a substantial number of citizens became suspicious of Facebook’s purpose. Since last...

One common thread throughout the Mueller witch hunt for Russian collusion is that the Democrats often accused the Republicans of what they themselves were doing, from leaking secret information to the press, and other unauthorized parties, to the crux of the matter¸ paying British agents and Russian sources to interfere in the 2016 election. Democrats, as part of completing the fundamental transformation of America, were hoping for a twofer – put Hillary in the Oval Office and put Donald Trump in prison even if the agencies of the administration Hillary served had to manufacture some and Hillary paid for it....

Update after Tommy's first day in court. This isn’t the contempt of court prosecution of Tommy — that’s not until March 22nd. This is Tommy going on the offense himself — suing the Cambridgeshire police for abusing his family. Tommy was out at a restaurant with his family — he was taking his kids out to watch soccer — or football as they call it in the UK. And then suddenly a bunch of police swarmed him, and his family, and told him to get out of the city or be arrested.

VIDEO The Democrat National Committee chose Milwaukee as the site for its 2020 convention. Why? For two main reason. One is that Hillary Clinton was too damn lazy to visit Wisconsin during her 2016 presidential campaign and ended up losing that state. The other reason is due to the deviousness of Tom Perez who went through the pretense that Miami (and Houston) were also in contention as convention sites until this week even though he probably knew since at least last summer that it was going to be Milwaukee.

Many AR fans love building their own platform and one of the big thing to get if you like drilling the lower yourself, is getting an 80% lower receiver. 80% AR-15 Lower Receivers is a piece that have not yet reached a stage of manufacture to be considered a firearm. The term “80%” is an industry slang and not endorsed/used by the ATF. Did you Know? When you get your 80% lower, there isn’t any serial number on it. So once you’ve finish drilling your lower, do you need to put a serial number? No, you don’t have to but...

The Afternoon Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) Some mid-day short takes on the passing scene… Everyone should watch this video. – Trust me, just watch it. It’ll be the best 23 minutes you invest this week. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez isn’t a politician, she’s an actress. A puppet whose strings are being pulled behind the scenes by a group that calls itself the Justice Democrats, and is headed by the depraved Cenk Uygur. This is all stuff I was not aware of, and of course our fake news media will never dream of reporting on any of it, so most...

The Hawaii Senate is considering a resolution calling for a repeal of the 2nd Amendment right to bear arms. The heavily Democrat-dominated body (there is only one Republican and 24 Democrats) will most likely pass the resolution. Resolution co-sponsor Roz Baker (D-Maui) says “the era when individuals had to have firearms to hunt for food or ward off criminals is long past. In 1789, help could not be easily summoned and once summoned could take hours or more to respond. Today, police can be summoned in seconds and arrive within minutes. There is no longer a need for individual ownership...
