The ghost of Hunter Thompson looms over it.

Colleges
Twelve trends that are killing them.
The ones that will die will deserve to.
[Update a while later]
Here’s reason 13: Colleges are turning/have turned into hate-crime hoax mills.
Busy
Light/non-existing posting because since boarding red eye to DC Tuesday night, I’ve been attending the Space Enterprise Summit at the State Department.
Ruining America
Boomers are to blame.
Not me, personally, but yes, my generation has been awful, compared to our parents’ generation.
Lesson For Trump From Media Attacks
Yes, continue to focus on the flawed climate science:
The CNN video ridicules Trump for saying that global warming is “an expensive hoax.” We should respond by outlining the costs involved. Over one billion dollars a day worldwide is now spent on “climate finance,” according to the San Francisco-based Climate Policy Initiative, yet we see no impact on climate. In 2017, Dr. Bjorn Lomborg, president of the Copenhagen Consensus Center, explained that if the UN Paris Agreement targets for 2030 were met and sustained through the rest of the century, there would be 0.3 degrees Fahrenheit less warming in 2100, if the models relied upon by the UN were correct. He explains that the cost of the Paris pact would be $1 – 2 trillion every year. So clearly, CNN’s criticism tells Trump that he should continue calling it “an expensive hoax,” and cite the cost estimates and forecast results to illustrate his point.
Yup.
The University Of Michigan
This kind of thing makes me ashamed to be an alumnus. It makes me wish I were a donor, so I could threaten to stop donating. And good for Tarnow.
California
America’s first Third World state.
[Thursday-afternoon update]
Why are there so many homeless in LA?
Roger actually did live in LA. In the South Bay where we live, it’s a problem, but nothing like downtown or Hollywood.
Guaranteed Student Loans
How they killed the American dream for millions.
I consider it criminal, ethically. Get the damn government out of it.
[Early afternoon update]
“Millennials are the most educated generation in American history, but many college graduates have tens of thousands of dollars in debt to go along with their degrees.”
They are not (necessarily) “educated.” Many, perhaps most, of them are merely credentialed.
Impeach Trump?
No, it’s time to indict Andrew McCabe.
He’s not the only one, and I suspect it’s just a matter of weeks now.
Bet On Bill Barr
An anonymous, but wise, Wyoming rancher recently summarized special counsel Robert Mueller’s report in clear middle-America language: “We know that old boy didn’t actually steal any horses, but he’s obviously guilty of trying to avoid being hanged for it.”
Yep.
