Time For Every GOP Candidate Not Named Trump or DeSantis to Drop Out
After watching two horribly moderated GOP debates I have seen enough.
It is time for every single candidate not named Donald Trump or Ron DeSantis to drop out of the race.
The reality is, outside of those two candidates, no one else has a legitimate reason for staying in the race.
Governor Doug Burgum, you are a successful businessman and you seem like a decent person and a competent executive—which is not something we can say about most politicians. In fact, I would probably even enjoy having a beer with you. But as the late Charles Krauthammer might say, there’s a better chance of it snowing in hell than you being the GOP standard bearer.

Kendi’s Troubles Threaten the Whole ‘Antiracist’ Biz
As blue-collar philosopher Eric Hoffer reportedly observed some years back, “Every great cause begins as a movement, becomes a business, and eventually degenerates into a racket.” Ibram X. Kendi’s brand of antiracism skipped the first two phases. It was conceived as a racket.
Like most rackets, Kendi’s depended for its success on finding suckers to support it. Kendi found his at Boston University. In a perverse effort to atone for imagined sins, the BU administration funded a Kendi brainchild, the Center for Antiracist Research. Hysteria over the death of George Floyd inspired the center, but hysteria alone cannot sustain it.
“After suddenly laying off over half his employees last week and with his center producing almost nothing since its founding,” writes David Decosimo in the Wall Street Journal, “Mr. Kendi is now facing an investigation and harsh criticism from numerous colleagues complaining of financial mismanagement, dysfunctional leadership, and failure to honor obligations attached to its millions in grant money.”

Killadelphia: The city’s white, liberal elite were appalled at Josh Kruger’s murder, but didn’t even notice the killings of four ‘nobodies.’
We have noted, really too many times to note all of them, that The Philadelphia Inquirer is not really concerned about individual homicides in the City of Brotherly Love unless an ‘innocent,’ someone already of some note, or a cute little white girl is the victim. On Monday morning, it was reported that Josh Kruger, a freelance journalist of at least some note in Philly was murdered, which we noted here, and the left in Philly — Rue Landau, Inquirer reporter Ellie Rushing, Jordan Winkler, Mayor Jim Kenney, the Liberty City Dems, state Senator Nikil Saval, The New York Times, WPVI-TV, Inquirer editorial writer Daniel Pearson, CNN, Taj Magruder, Maggie Hart, and an untold number of other people are all mourning his death.
Yet what about the three people murdered early this morning, along with a fourth person critically wounded, in the Crascentville section of the city, and the ‘person of interest’ suspected in the killings? They are, as far as the media have told us thus far, not ‘somebodies,’ and there are few tweets about them, few messages I have seen, and, as far as I can tell, other than friends and family, nobody f(ornicating) cares. Mayor Kenney has said nothing about those four people, whom I assume to be black from this photo in the Inky. Mr Kruger was white.

ESPN/Disney Wants to Remind its Customers It Hates Them
“The descendants of slaves in America have earned reparations
Much like BLM, Ibram X. Kendi can only fail upward. No sooner does his Boston University Center for Antiracist Research fall apart, firing employees left and right, accompanied by acrimony, than Disney bails him out.
Boston University professor and author Ibram X. Kendi has kicked off an ESPN+ series that focuses on racism in the sports world.
“Skin in the Game with Dr. Ibram X. Kendi,” which began streaming last month on ESPN+, follows Kendi as he interviews athletes, experts and journalists about racism and sports.
The series is co-produced by ESPN+ Originals and Andscape, in association with Religion of Sports and Kendi’s Maroon Visions.
The series features vignettes from notable names, including W. Kamau Bell and Jemele Hill, and each episode ends with a roundtable discussion led by Kendi.
Disney couldn’t let a week go by without reminding its customers of how much it hates them while continuing to politicize sports. There are Hulu posters everywhere for the racist 1619 Project (misleadingly featuring an African-American boy draped in an American flag) and Disney continues to carry out racialist remakes of its classic films.

The previous articles of this series proposed arming willing school staff, and raised—and countered–many of the primary objections of the uninformed, and of professional anti self-defense, anti-liberty/gun cracktivists. Still, how can school officials be convinced to accept concealed handguns in schools? How can risk-averse superintendents and school boards understand the danger we face even as they remove all police presence from their schools and continue to advertise their schools as free-fire zones for murderous lunatics? Can hard-core democrats/Socialists/Communists be persuaded to accept reality? This article asks and answers these and some additional questions. However, I’ll first provide some useful information on relevant federal law.
In 1990, the Gun Free School Zones Act was written into law as part of the Crime Control Act. Among its provisions was a blanket prohibition on all firearms within 1000 feet of a school. The act relied on the Commerce Clause of the Constitution, asserting Congress had the power to enact the law because most firearms presumably had, at some point, moved in interstate commerce. Actually, Congress seizing power it does not have was asserting they could legislate just about anything under the Commerce Clause. The law turned huge portions of the nation into gun-free zones, making perfectly law abiding gun owners liable for arrest and prosecution because of their unwitting proximity to a school. Any gun shop or other store that sold guns that happened to be within 1000 feet of a school zone, was suddenly violating federal law, even if a school was built—pre or post-1990–next door. Any gun owner whose home was within 1000 feet of a school—3+ football fields–was suddenly a federal felon, as was any citizen lawfully carrying a gun if they happened to drive past a school.
