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.
…risks life and limb to sell his dangerous book.
Yes, let’s move them out of Washington.
And as Glenn suggests, it would be smart to move them into hinterlands of deep-blue states, so they don’t affect swing states.
Unliked, unwanted, and distrusted in her own home district.
Sounds like she’s ripe for a primary challenge.

AOC’s shameful ignorance of history.
When everything is a “concentration camp,” nothing is.
When it turns into woke apocalypse.
I hope that Oberlin is just the first of many such lawsuits. Enough is enough. It won’t stop until they start to really feel pain.

What happened to Oberlin could happen to any college: They’re all a mess.
To be fair, I doubt if it would happen at Hillsdale. But this is amazing:
Gibson’s attorney Lee Plakas asked Protzman what was the reason for cutting ties with the business they had worked with for more than a century. He pointed out emails from various administrators that the student might have throw a “tantrum” on campus, specifically in the cafeteria while eating dinner, and that might be a good reason to get their cookies and bagels elsewhere.
“The concern was that the students were angry?” Plakas asked. “The fear was that angry students would throw food [made by Gibson’s] on the floor [of the cafeteria] and stomp on it?”
“Yes, that was one of the concerns,” Protzman answered.
“Doesn’t that sound more like a nursery school than a college?” Plakas continued.
“Nursery school students do throw food on the floor, yes,” Protzman said, adding “We are not the students’ parents,” as the reason the school could not tell the students to quit threatening to throw food on the floor and eat their dinner like nice people do.
For those who want more details of the “Student Food Stomp Threat,” the food to be flattened into the cafeteria tile was going to be donuts and bagels made by Gibson’s, but no one could was sure of the students were going to put cream cheese on the bagels before they jumped on them.
These “students” do not belong in college. But it will probably take several more multi-million-dollars verdicts to get their attention. They’re like the mule that has to be hit in the middle of the head with a two by four.

In a lot of cases, I’d expect not.

Why is the University of North Carolina funding a “Hub For Social Justice”?
Because they can. For now.
Sorry, but banning them won’t save the planet.
This is just one of the many idiocies in which California has indulged in the past few years.
During the past week I’ve spoken to a number of skilled and experienced observers of the region, and every one them is hard put to make sense of Iranian motives. In the absence of a rational explanation, let me offer this one: The mullahs are nuts. I don’t mean that they are nuts in the way that a power-mad tinpot dictator is nuts, but rather that they are world-historically, existentially, and metaphysically nuts. Their character and circumstances, that is to say, impel them toward actions that would be irrational for another character under other circumstances.
The treatment of Iran by the Obama administration was probably the biggest (among many) of its foreign-policy disasters.
A party run by children.
Spoiled, ignorant children.
I’m glad to see this getting some coverage, but how effing hard is my name to spell right?
“Mann filed suit against CEI, CEI adjunct fellow Rand Samburg, conservative columnist Mark Steyn and National Review in 2012.”
There are only two vowels in it, and they managed to get them both wrong.
