Corporate America Is Obsessed With Debate on Elite Campuses - Bloomberg
...A new study shows that 39 percent of the top U.S. liberal arts campuses haven’t a single Republican faculty member; at many others, the number is insignificant.
Its author, Mitchell Langbert of Brooklyn College, wrote: “Thus, 78.2 percent of the academic departments in my sample have either zero Republicans, or so few as to make no difference.”
...One thing all sides agree on is that what happens on elite campuses influences what happens in corporate America—even if the majority of students view the debate as background noise as they earn credentials and broaden their knowledge.
The battle over how much to protect students from potentially offensive speech is playing out more and more in companies as graduates of elite institutions bring their sensibilities to work..."

- The day Donald Trump was elected, the five-college Claremont campus east of Los Angeles went into mourning.
- Maria Klawe, the president of Harvey Mudd College, sent out an email expressing sympathy for anyone feeling “vulnerable and unsafe.”
- David Oxtoby, president of Pomona College, said, “On a day like this, the personal and the political cannot be separated.”
- Pitzer College President Melvin Oliver urged students to channel energy into activism.

Twitter Refuses Comment On Threatening Message Sent To Sen. Ted Cruz | The Daily Caller
Twitter Refuses Comment On Threatening Message Sent To Sen. Ted Cruz | The Daily Caller:
After a group of Antifa and socialist protesters drove Sen. Cruz out of the high-end restaurant Fiola on Monday night, the account “Smash Racism D.C.” promised future harassment from their members. (RELATED: Antifa Sends Threatening Message To Cruz After Disrupting His Dinner: ‘You Are Not Safe.’)
“You are not safe,” they wrote. “We will find you. We will expose you. We will take from you the peace you have taken from so many others.”

The Democrats have viciously overplayed their hand
The Democrats have viciously overplayed their hand:
Can there be any Americans following this story who are not enraged and offended by the obvious orchestrated smear of a good and decent man? According to some polls, yes. Who are the people who believe these accusers? How could any American fall for such a scam? No mystery there. American educational standards have fallen so drastically that young people have no civic knowledge. They know nothing about American history or the Constitution.
This has been by design. The left has controlled how history is taught for at least three decades. Young people don't even know that one must be presumed innocent until proven guilty. These Ford-supporting senators don't seem to remember this, either. That in itself is stunning. The Democrats have assembled a mob, and "The mob is the mother of tyrants" (Diogenes).
As Blasey Ford's story disintegrates, the Dems conveniently found the second woman willing to throw herself on the pyre of indecency in order to destroy a fine man and his family.

Median income in the US hits all-time high - Business Insider:
It's now the highest income year on record, beating the previous high of $58,655 in 1999 (all numbers are adjusted for inflation).
The US poverty rate simultaneously declined about 1% to 12.7%, returning to nearly the same level as in 2007, prior to the recession. In total, 2.5 million fewer people were in poverty in 2016 than in 2015.
Plus, almost every demographic group experienced a rise in incomes last year, according to the Census, thanks to more Americans securing full-time and better-paying jobs — a total year-over-year rise of about 2.2 million workers.

U.S. Urged to Rapidly Prepare for Electromagnetic Pulse Attack
U.S. Urged to Rapidly Prepare for Electromagnetic Pulse Attack
"The United States is vulnerable to a devastating electromagnetic pulse event caused by a high-altitude nuclear blast or solar superstorm, according to a recently published book.
..."Today the United States and the world faces another existential threat—from an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) catastrophe...topple the technological pillars of modern electronic civilization," said Pry, who served on a congressional EMP commission in the early 2000s.
The book contains fresh assessments of the EMP threat produced by a more recent congressional commission last year that concluded the United States would suffer millions of deaths from a major EMP incident.
..."An extended blackout today could result in the death of a large fraction of the American people through the effects of societal collapse, disease, and starvation," the commission stated in its July 2017 report.
"While national planning and preparation for such events could help mitigate the damage, few such actions are currently underway or even being contemplated."
The book warns that China, Russia, North Korea, and Iran are preparing to use EMP attacks combined with traditional military strikes and new cyber attacks in future conflicts..."

William R. Graham, former head of the EMP commission, stated in a preface to the book that a nationwide electrical blackout of one year "could kill millions, perhaps prove fatal to most Americans, by starvation, disease, and societal collapse."

Resisting a Lynch MobThe American Spectator
Resisting a Lynch MobThe American Spectator
"Atticus Finch resisted, but the Democrat lynch mob won.
When it was published in 1960, Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird won the Pulitzer Prize for literature and became an instant classic.
In 1962, it was made into a movie starring Gregory Peck, a role for which he won an Academy Award for Best Actor.
"Atticus Finch resisted, but the Democrat lynch mob won.
When it was published in 1960, Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird won the Pulitzer Prize for literature and became an instant classic. In 1962, it was made into a movie starring Gregory Peck, a role for which he won an Academy Award for Best Actor.
The story is based on Lee’s childhood in rural Alabama during the 1930s.
The narrator is six-year-old Jean Louise Finch. The protagonist is her father, Atticus, who is a small-town lawyer appointed by the court to represent Tom Robinson, a black man who has been charged with raping Mayella Ewell, a young white woman. Despite the community’s near universal condemnation, Atticus defends Tom in and out of court.
One night, Atticus sits vigil outside the county jail where Tom is being held. A lynch mob arrives, and, while Atticus blocks their way, little Jean Louise appears and sweetly greets some of the lynchers by name. Shamed by her innocence, they back down.
At the trial, Mayella testifies unconvincingly that Tom raped her. When Atticus gently cross-examines her, she breaks into tears and angrily repeats her claim.
Under questioning by Atticus, Tom convincingly protests his innocence. After Atticus’ closing argument, it is clear to the reader that Mayella is lying and Tom is innocent.
But facts and logic do not carry the day. The jury quickly convicts Tom. While Atticus is visiting Tom’s wife to discuss the appeal, word comes that Tom has been shot and killed while trying to escape.
Viewing this classic tale from the perspective of 2018 and the #MeToo movement, it is clear that Harper Lee, a female, was a self-hating misogynist who promoted for profit the idea that a woman could actually lie about sexual assault and that such a lie couldunfairly destroy an unjustly accused man’s life.
Atticus Finch, the so-called hero of the story, is glorified for questioning the victim’s credibility, as if that sort of behavior is supposed to be acceptable and, even worse, praiseworthy.
How did such a disgustingpiece of trash get published?
Why haven’t the book and movie been banned for promoting a negative stereotype of women?...

The Accountable Capitalism Act: Socialist and Unconstitutional | The Heritage Foundation
Warren’s Accountable Capitalism Act has serious enforcement powers. It permits the federal government to revoke the charter of a U.S. company if it has engaged in “repeated and egregious illegal conduct” — as defined, of course, by the federal government.
ACA is not a small or even a giant step toward socialism. It is socialism.

Ben Shapiro Dismantles Bernie Sanders' Disparaging View Of America | Daily Wire
Ben Shapiro Dismantles Bernie Sanders' Disparaging View Of America | Daily Wire:
Shapiro then played a clip of the perpetual grumpy Sanders complaining:
"We can’t even use dirty words. This is the United States Senate ... We just starve little children, we go bomb houses and buses of children, and give tax breaks to billionaires, but we don’t use dirty words."
Sanders' "ignorant and unfunny" take on the country, said Shapiro, was important to examine a little more closely because "it reveals a serious gap in the way Americans from the hard Left think versus the rest of America."
"In the view of the hard Left, universal ills are uniquely America’s fault;

New Research Confirms We Got Cholesterol All Wrong - Reason.com
"A comprehensive new study on cholesterol, based on results from more than a million patients, could help upend decades of government advice about diet, nutrition, health, prevention, and medication.
Just don't hold your breath.
The study, published in the Expert Review of Clinical Pharmacology, centers on statins, a class of drugs used to lower levels of LDL-C, the so-called "bad" cholesterol, in the human body.
According to the study, statins are pointless for most people.
"No evidence exists to prove that having high levels of bad cholesterol causes heart disease, leading physicians have claimed" in the study, reports the Daily Mail.
The Express likewise says the new study finds "no evidence that high levels of 'bad' cholesterol cause heart disease."...

How Dianne Feinstein is conspiring to destroy Brett Kavanaugh
How Dianne Feinstein is conspiring to destroy Brett Kavanaugh:
For starters, they argue that Feinstein, who is the top Democrat on the Senate committee vetting Kavanaugh, orchestrated an “11th-hour ambush” of the conservative nod by withholding a letter from the committee’s Republican majority alleging sexual misconduct by Kavanaugh until the day the panel was preparing to take a vote to confirm him — almost two months after receiving the letter and well after the vetting and hearing process.
“You chose to sit on the allegations until a politically opportune moment,” a furious Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) scolded Feinstein in a letter dated Sept. 19.

The city could pay billions for a test that didn’t really discriminate
The city could pay billions for a test that didn’t really discriminate:
"It’s just nuts that the city might have to cough up billions for supposedly racist teacher-certification exams it stopped using long ago.
But don’t count on Mayor de Blasio to fight it.
To be clear: No one has ever had to show that the Liberal Arts and Sciences Test, aka LAST, was actually discriminatory.
“Disparate impact” law makes it necessary to demonstrate only that members of minority groups perform worse on an exam than their peers.
And if officials can’t then prove the tests are effective at screening out unqualified would-be employees — a highly subjective measure — well, case closed.
Thus, federal Judge Kimba Wood found that the fact that more than 90 percent of whites passed the LAST, but less than 62 percent of blacks and 55 percent of Hispanics did, was enough to brand it “biased” and hold the city liable.
Now, as The Post reported Thursday, a court-appointed special master has recommended the city pay $91.6 million to 219 plaintiffs theoretically harmed by the LAST “discrimination.”...

Tech Giants Spend $80 Billion To Make Sure No One Else Can Compete - Slashdot
"An anonymous reader quotes a report from Bloomberg:
Google parent Alphabet and the other four dominant U.S. technology companies -- Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, and Facebook -- are fast becoming industrial giants.
They spent a combined $80 billion in the last year on big-ticket physical assets, including manufacturing equipment and specialized tools for assembling iPhones and the powerful computers and undersea internet cables Facebook needs to fire up Instagram videos in a flash.
Thanks to this surge in spending -- up from $40 billion in 2015 -- they've joined the ranks of automakers, telephone companies, and oil drillers as the country's biggest spenders on capital goods, items including factories, heavy equipment, and real estate that are considered long-term investments. Their combined outlay is about 10 times what GM spends annually on its plants, vehicle-assembly robots, and other materials.
...The $80 billion tab also is a snapshot of why it's tough to unseat the tech giants.
How can a company hope to compete with Google's driverless cars when it spends $20 billion a year to ensure it has the best laser-guided sensors and computer chips?..."

Kavanaugh fires back at latest allegation, says he won’t be ‘intimidated into withdrawing’ | Fox News:
“I will not be intimidated into withdrawing from this process,” Kavanaugh wrote in the letter. “The coordinated effort to destroy my good name will not drive me out. The vile threats of violence against my family will not drive me out. The last minute character assassination will not succeed.”
Kavanaugh, who intends to testify Thursday before the committee about the allegations along with the first accuser, has been hit with fresh but uncorroborated accusations.
“There is now a frenzy to come up with something—anything—that will block this process and a vote on my confirmation from occurring,” Kavanaugh wrote. “These are smears, pure and simple. And they debase our public discourse.”

Public sector unions must be reined in
"Public sector unions have long exploited taxpayers by pushing for higher taxes, higher spending, and generous benefits and extravagant pensions for government workers while opposing efforts to hold bureaucrats accountable.
...Although the public sector is much smaller than the private sector, public sector union members make up nearly half of all union members.
... 34.4 percent of the public sector was unionized while only 6.5 percent of the private sector was unionized.

- including public unions’ free use of taxpayer-funded office space,
- numerous federal employees conducting union business on government time, and lengthy firing processes for underperforming workers.
In the short term, Congress should at least allow for the firing of federal government workers on an expedited basis, while still providing due process rights, by immediately passing the MERIT Act.
Of course, Democrats can be expected to obstruct almost any effort to rein in public sector unions or to streamline the removal of incompetent bureaucrats..."

Report: Congress Should Stop Funding International Junk Science Agency | Competitive Enterprise Institute
"American taxpayers fund an international agency that puts out junk science, scaring consumers and leading to costly jury decisions and unnecessary product bans, a new Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI) report documents.
The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) is an influential but secretive research group, funded by world governments and housed within the World Health Organization.
...The agency focuses on determining if a chemical or activity poses a “hazard,” but that should be just the first step in risk assessment.
The next steps should consider dose and exposure and whether actual human exposures are significant enough to matter.
“IARC’s hazard-based approach results in nonsensical cancer classifications, placing plutonium and smoking in the same carcinogenic category as salty fish and processed meats,” said Angela Logomasini, CEI senior fellow and author of the report.

"The academic debate over gun control consists mainly of a war of statistics.
...How should untrained laypersons go about interpreting the findings of statistical studies?
- It’s About Resistance, Not Prevention
Statistics come in all shapes and sizes, so the first thing we need to do is determine which kinds of statistics are relevant to the gun control debate and which are irrelevant.
...To illustrate the difference, let’s suppose that I encounter a mugger while taking a walk.
To do this, we need a clear understanding of what the gun control debate is fundamentally about.
We can’t separate the relevant from the irrelevant if we aren’t clear about how to frame the issue.
So, what is the debate over gun ownership fundamentally about?
Many seem to think that it’s about deterrence; that is, whether gun ownership prevents crime. 
...To illustrate the difference, let’s suppose that I encounter a mugger while taking a walk.
I brandish my firearm to the mugger, who is undeterred and rushes me with a knife.
I then shoot the mugger, stopping the crime.
In that situation, my gun has failed to prevent a crime, but it was successful at resisting a crime.
The gun was an effective and reasonable means of self-defense even though it failed to deter the would-be mugger.
This is a very crucial point that must be carefully appreciated.
Even if guns don't prevent crime by reducing the overall crime rate, it wouldn’t mean that guns are not a reasonable means of resisting crime.
As far as gun rights are concerned, the single most important issue is simply the question of whether guns do a good job when deployed against a criminal assailant.
Deterrence is not the key issue at stake..."
