In one stroke, no-nonsense Elon Musk exposed the Left-wing prejudices at the heart of Auntie’s reporting Every so often, there comes along a piece of car-crash TV so deliciously excruciating that it affords hours of harmless fun. Think of Prof Robert Kelly in the middle of a solemn live interview on North Korea when his gleeful toddler, pursued by her horrified mother, came crashing through the study door to say hi to Daddy. Even better for sheer comic embarrassment, I reckon, is the interview the BBC’s North America Technology reporter, James Clayton, did this week with the world’s second-richest man...

It highlights the role of a nonprofit called “BCFS” which, according to Time, has received more than $280 million since December to operate temporary housing shelters for children who illegally cross the Mexican border into the U.S. On July 7, two days before [the charity head] met Obama in Dallas, the Department of Health and Human Services awarded BCFS $190,707,505 in a single grant.

(VIDEO-AT-LINK)On Thursday’s “Outnumbered” on the Fox News Channel, panelists Tucker Carlson and Kirsten Powers had a heated exchange over the ongoing border crisis and whether or not it was this country’s so-called Christian duty to grant those unaccompanied minors entering the United States asylum.

As you start to read all this, you'll laugh at how incestuous it all gets. Let's start with the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, which as I've noted in the past is tied in with the Soros foundation. Together, the two worked on something called The Project on Death in America.(PDIA) http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2341083/posts And speaking of Mr Soros, he himself(his foundations) have given directly to NPR.

Columbia students who want to enroll in the Reserve Officers Training Corps must continue to do so at nearby universities, including the Bronx campus of Fordham University. The vote is a setback for a group of students, professors and alumni who have been campaigning on campus to change the perception of the military and build momentum for the return of the R.O.T.C. Susan Brown, a spokeswoman for the university, said in...
