Huh. Turns out there aren’t any. I suspect that immigrant gardeners are taking away a lot of jobs that young people used to do.

…walks back his claims about Trump and Russia.
“Right Of Return”
We are finally rejecting it for Palestinians. All it ever was was a right to destroy the state of Israel.
Terraforming Mars
John Strickland analyzes the terrible media coverage of that recent report, and points out (as I did at the time) that Mars isn’t a closed system.

The War On Climate Change
How it’s really a war on the world’s poor.
SJWs
…are ruining engineering school.
No surprise, they ruin everything they come near. They have the reverse Midas’ touch.
[Late-afternoon update]
There may be a scientific reason that SJWs are so whiny.
[Update a while later]
The fences are closing in:
Born as free Americans, you are being treated as sheep.
Raised as proud Americans, you are learning the lessons of shame.
Schooled as thinking Americans, now you’re told to abandon open debate, objective truth, even the scientific method and mathematics. They are somehow “racist.” They’re the products of “privilege.”
What do the brilliant minds behind Tim Kaine’s Democrat Party want to replace them with? A set of stern, angry dogmas that have taken over our colleges and our corporate human resource departments. And dogmas like “intersectionalism,” which demonize whole groups of people such as Christians and conservatives. They want to say that their voices shouldn’t be heard and they shouldn’t be protected from hate and discrimination. You should be able to spew hate about them for years, as tech reporter Sarah Jeong did and then still get hired for the editorial page of the New York Times. Andrew Sullivan, a liberal gay writer, warned us in New York magazine that the Democrats have been hijacked by a new, puritanical cult, and it’s already running witch hunts. So Sarah Jeong called him a racist and tried to get him fired. If that can happen to famous, liberal, gay writers, what do you think they’re planning for your pastor? For conservatives who teach school? For you and your children?
The witch hunters can’t afford to let you question them because their excuses will fall apart. So they impose them instead by legal action, by harassment, by collusion and blacklisting. Unable to defend their new creed with reason, these ideologues instead forbid our questions. They isolate, target, and try to destroy dissenters. They spray them with social and professional plutonium as “an example to the others.” That tactic is straight from the playbook of totalitarian movements. We have seen all this before.
Yes. And the irony, of course, is that they call us fascists.
[Monday-morning update]
The story about SJWs ruining engineering is no joke.

Anti-Trump Hyperbole
I thought that Bush derangement was bad, but Trump really has driven them far around the bend.
The Generic Congressional Ballot
…is dead even. Of course, that was from last week, before all of the Manafort/Cohen/etc. craziness.
From Reality TV To Reality Politics
Thoughts from Matthew Continetti on Trump’s media skills, and his vulnerability to others who share them.
As I noted on twitter, it’s stupid to think that the hush money was a campaign contribution, because for many Trump supporters, the notion that he was shtooping porn stars and playmates was part of the appeal.
