Meet The AWFL demographic. "The Batshit Crazy demographic (single women) who famously have the highest rates of mental health issues, are obviously driving the Democrat short bus." Meet Nancy Pelosi, conductress of the short bus: "Some pro-Palestinian protests, especially those against Joe Biden, have 'a Russian tinge to it.'"
Meanwhile, here's some crossover hip-hop for your amusement. (NSFW) "Fuck Israel, Israel a bitch / Bitch we out here mobbin’ on some Palestine shit / Free Palestine bitch, Israel gon’ die bitch / Nigga it’s they land why you out here tryna rob it / Bullshit prophets, y’all just want the profit." I wonder if somebody got credit in a Yale victim studies course for composing that. Hail Columbia. "After years of encouraging students to make life difficult for normies like you and me, the revolution is eating its own, as it always does."
Yale, Columbia, Rutgers, George Washington: four Hamas cells with lousy football teams? "At publishing time, the Columbia administration had put forth plans to load Jewish students onto train cars and transport them to special camps to help them concentrate."
The weekly round-up of pithy elaborations on traditional Cold Spring Shops themes follows.
1. There are signs some Americans have had enough. The woke don't like it. "The rot isn't everywhere--there is still an America that works, and works well." They'll continue to attempt to destroy it.
2. The real debt ceiling looms. "10-year Treasury yield leaps to highest level in more than 5 months after GDP report."
3. Message received. "Khameini didn't mention Israel's counterattack."
4. Nyekulturny Joe. "The important thing is not to make jokes about the culture of other people, even if our doddering president thinks his uncle was a two-course meal for cannibals."
5. Campus comity, restored. "Just a few expelled students or deported visa holders would work pour encourager les autres."
6. Prices are signals. "It's important to remember that if a deal seems too good to be true, it probably is. Be wary of prices that are significantly lower than what you would normally expect to pay."
7. Why we might get more Trump? "Trump is appealing to Americans who distrust governing elites in politics, the law, the medical establishment and the media." As if politics, the law, the medical establishment, and the media have done expert things expertly of late.
8. The consequences of denying coherent beliefs? Enjoy the incoherence. "After all, if there is no one objective truth, then reality can be designed and invented by the elites. Facts can be revised or censored as our rulers see fit. We must continue to seek out the truth for truth’s sake, before we lose touch with reality entirely." It's a Kuhnian doom loop of incommensurable paradigms. "What the universities haven’t done is train their students to talk with one another."
9. Postmodern skepticism backfires on Our Political Masters. "The Hunter Biden laptop story is the reason so many people on the right—and some on the left—have grave reservations about the rise of anti-disinformation watchdog groups. Not only were so many so-called experts dead wrong about the Russian connection, they pursued all the wrong policies as a result."
10. Has higher education finally spent all its credibility? "That rot is pervasive and really does make it seem as if there is nothing redeemable in higher education."
11. Sex is binary, personality is a continuum, and there are false binaries to reject. "If you start with a model of sex that is binary, you'll always produce a binary result. And if you insist that it is true, then it is the only answer that you get." The generalization to electoral politics is immediate.
12. Progressivism is an invasive species, with a hate-America agenda. "Biden’s presidency has been what you would assume is a series of mistakes, only it’s the progressive agenda."
14. Long chances shorten lives. "Dali left port anyways despite its clearly unseaworthy condition."
15. Count on the screw up. "It's a world of abundance and prosperity unless politicians screw it up."
16. Celebrate Earth Day. "While you are still allowed, treat yourself to a long drive in your efficient internal combustion-engined car. An ideal destination would be to a heritage railway with multiple locomotives in steam." Indeed.
17. Politics divides. "Having treated the outcomes of our elections as existential crises, it’s not shocking that some handful is willing to use violence." Sometimes in the service of light and transient causes. "Calling it election interference actually cheapens the term and undermines the deadly serious charges in the real election interference cases."
18. Bill Barr: “Trump may be playing Russian roulette but a continuation of the Biden administration is national suicide in my opinion.” I favor rejecting the false binary, dear reader: use your discretion as to what is the lesser evil. "People don't have to be all-in on Trump; they just need to want to put a hard stop to the havoc that the Biden administration is wreaking."
19. We've undergone worse. "An elective despotism is not the government we fought for." Abraham Lincoln knew a thing or two about The Democracy(TM), didn't he? How little things change. "But the problem for Biden and the Democrats is that, when it comes to democracy, many view his party as a worse threat than Trump."
20. Opting out is still an option. "The Republic is on the line, and people don't care. How about that?"
21. Putting profit ahead of principle. "We got Jim Crow laws because free markets weren't willing to discriminate."
22. Putting principle ahead of people. "Greenpeace's morally and scientifically bankrupt campaign against the health of children has notched another despicable victory."
24. O people of Iran, withdraw your consent. "They may conclude that the real enemies of the Iranian nation are not the Jewish people of Israel after all, but their own unhinged Islamist theocrats."
