    'Murica!

    If I was president, I sure as hell wouldn't let a country who funneled $1.8 billion to Hamas give me a plane to fly without inspection.

    I'm encouraged that you see it that way. I'm not sure Laura Loomer understands Article I, Section 9, Clause 8 of the U.S. Constitution. Even if she doesn't, that total whack job at least understands the moral hazard of accepting lavish gifts from what are essentially foreign agents: for the...

    It's kind of global phenomenon though. Friday morning I was catching up with a fintech prof in Singapore who has sold best-selling Penguin books, etc., who loves teaching. But she’s been pulled into a lot of hybrid MBA programs where the seemingly brightest students, who respond and ask good...

    Schools are screwed anyway. I wouldn't hire anyone under the age of 24 right now. A large percentage of college graduates today are functionally illiterate. https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/openai-chatgpt-ai-cheating-education-college-students-school.html

    Though it must be said 98% of The View's audience is MAGA hate-watchers. I don't know a single person who otherwise watches that crap.

    Remember all the Juve wannabe media pundits who were already asking if we should sign on Coach Sedan full term after just four matches at the helm? I do.
