NOTABLE QUOTES
Victoria Manning contributor to The Federalist: American education has become a system of force — like that of North Korea or Cuba. How can children be taught about capitalism when they are living the realities of socialism for 13 years of their lives, stuck behind the wall of government schools? The only thing government hasn’t taken over is tucking your children into bed — yet.
Townhall.com X post: Karine Jean-Pierre just used NYPD Officer Jonathan Diller’s death to push for more gun control, while making no mention of Democrat-run cities’ soft-on-crime policies. The man who shot Officer Diller has 21 prior arrests, including for first-degree robbery and selling drugs to an undercover police officer. He also was arrested on a gun charge just last year.
Disnter.com: At the heart of secular ideology is the rejection of any notion of sin, guilt, or shame. By discarding these, society loses its moral compass, leading to an increase in crime, violence, debauchery, and the ultimate temporal judgment of God, sexual anarchy. The absence of shame signifies a culture that no longer recognizes the boundary between right and wrong as defined by Scripture.
Matt Taibbi investigative journalist: The story of “The Twitter Files” is about turning the internet into a tool of surveillance and social control instead of a democratizing tool. If they decide to go all the way with that, we will get that totalitarian outcome. I think it is a very real threat and we all need to worry about it.
Pete McArdle contributor to American Thinker: We look the other way as the Uniparty, federal law enforcement, the media, academia, and left-wing attorney generals and courts all abuse Donald Trump, an American citizen, worse perhaps than anyone in U.S. history. That’s evil, folks. That’s bad. And sadly, other than tending to your own garden, I have no solutions to offer. For these men who are destroying our once great country can’t be bought, bullied, reasoned or negotiated with. They just want to watch the world burn.
Dr. Jay Bhattacharya: It is exactly when there is an emergency that free speech is the most needed.

RCP’s Samizdat Prize, Behind The Scenes Stories Of Censorship: Matt Taibbi, Jay Bhattacharya, And Miranda Devine
Dave Rubin of “The Rubin Report” hosts a panel with the winners of the first RealClearPolitics Samizdat Prize — “Twitter Files” journalist Matt Taibbi, “Great Barrington Declaration” co-author Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, and NY Post reporter and “Laptop From Hell” author Miranda Devine. The three were chosen for their bravery in resisting censorship. They discuss the cost of taking a stand as well as the future of free speech and online discourse. Miranda Devine said if her story about Hunter Biden’s laptop had been able to spread widely before the 2020 election, the outcome might have been different: […] Dr. Jay Bhattacharya said in the early days of the Covid-19 pandemic, he thought the world had gone crazy: […] Matt Taibbi discusses what he found in “The Twitter Files.”

THE CORRUPT & DANGEROUS U.S. INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES & THE ADMINISTRATIVE STATE APPARATUS
Singh: Democrats Quietly Telling Biden Admin To Churn Out Regulations At Breakneck Speed As 2024 Election Looms
The Biden administration has pursued an aggressive regulatory agenda to implement President Joe Biden’s political priorities, including measures to encourage the production of more electric vehicles, forgive student loans, restrict “junk fees” by service providers and ban non-competition clauses in contracts, among many others. Amid concerns that Biden may not win the election against former President Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee, Democrats have been encouraging the administration to finalize rules as soon as possible to preclude their expeditious reversal if Biden loses office, Punchbowl News reported. […] The administration is currently in the process of finalizing several high-profile regulatory actions that affect multiple aspects of American life. These include . . .
Ross: DHS Official [Who] Worked With Anti-Israel Group Tied to Embattled Biden Judicial Nominee
A top Department of Homeland Security civil rights official has previously unreported ties to a Rutgers University think tank that congressional investigators are calling a “hotbed of radical antisemitic, anti-American, anti-Israel, and pro-terrorist activity.” Shoba Sivaprasad Wadhia served as a faculty affiliate of the Rutgers Law School Center for Security, Race, and Rights until she joined the Department of Homeland Security last year as officer for civil rights and civil liberties. In her current role, Wadhia advises DHS leadership on the civil rights ramifications of agency policies and leads investigations into civil rights and civil liberties complaints from members of the public. But Wadhia’s affiliation with the Rutgers center could call her fitness for the job into question. The House Committee on Education and the Workforce launched an investigation this week into Rutgers’s failure to address anti-Semitic activities on campus. The investigation focuses on the Rutgers Center for Security, Race, and Rights, which has come under scrutiny amid the confirmation process for Biden judicial nominee Adeel Mangi, who served on the center’s advisory board until last year. […] Wadhia throughout her career has pushed for lenient immigration policies, including calling for an end to the deportation of convicted felons. She has lamented the use of the term “illegal alien” and advocated against the deportation of illegal aliens convicted of serious felonies . . .
TYRANNY IN THE NAME OF CLIMATE DOOM MYTH: GLOBALIST POLITICIANS & BIG BUSINESS ACCUMULATE MORE POWER & CONTROL
Murphy: Texas Solar Farm Devastated by Hailstorm; Residents Fear Toxic Consequences
“The hailstorm we experienced Saturday morning was unimaginable,” area resident Nick Kaminski told KTRK in Houston. “We’ve never seen anything like it in our lifetime.” Kaminski painted a vivid picture of how the hailstorm treated the solar panels. “They look like somebody took a shotgun and blasted it into the air and let the pellets fall down and shatter holes all in them,” he said. Kaminski is worried that toxins from the destroyed solar panels could leak into his well water. […] Fellow resident Mikes Fugua claimed that area residents have been concerned about the possible environmental impacts of the solar farm for a while now. […] Fighting Jays is not the only solar farm in America that’s struggled with hail in the last year. Last June, a large solar farm in Scottsbluff, Nebraska, was virtually destroyed by a similar storm featuring baseball-sized hail.
Giebel: University launches semester-long ‘climate emergency’ campaign to protect ‘Mother Earth’
Western Michigan University is hosting a semester-long “emergency” climate change campaign to encourage students to take action on the “crisis.” It includes an event focused on “climate action” in connection to “Mother Earth.” […] The goal is “to educate people about the threat the climate crisis poses and to build the movement toward urgent and rapid action to head off the worst consequences,” Bertman told The Fix last week. Through “Climate Emergency: Spring into Action 2024,” the university wants to “inspire” students to become more involved in the issue, according to a university news release. It cited a 2021 Pew Research survey that found 76 percent of young Americans consider climate change a big concern, and more than a third say it is their top concern. […] “Assuming a university is leading a one-sided campaign, this will inevitably chill speech,” he said. “After all, that university will have said what it thinks is right and students will respond accordingly. They will be scared to counter the views from people who are in positions of authority.”
Schiffren: University of California system rolls out group-therapy climate anxiety course
All nine campuses of the University of California system are offering a new class on climate change. The class, called “Building Psychosocial and Planetary Resilience,” starts this spring quarter. The important thing to understand is that it is fundamentally a psychology class, not an environmental science class. The class was designed by a professor of psychiatry and a professor of psychology, according to the Daily Nexus, UC Santa Barbara’s student newspaper. […] In other words, having scared the hell out of Gen Z over an exaggerated climate change crisis — telling young people that the world is basically ending in the next few decades — the UC system now seeks to remediate things with what amounts to a coping class complete with group therapy sessions. This is not a brand new trend, there’s a branch of psychology called “climate anxiety” that’s emerged in recent years.
THE FIGHT FOR ELECTION INTEGRITY
Knudsen: Exclusive – Michael Whatley: RNC Hiring ‘Election Integrity Councils’ in Battleground States
When asked how Republicans can feel confident that every vote was counted properly in November, Whatley said “there’s really two components to it.” “Number one, you got to get out the vote. Number two, you have to protect the ballot, and we absolutely are focused on making sure that we have election integrity around the country,” he said, explaining that the RNC is “making sure that we have the laws, the rules and regulations in place in every state that are going to allow a fair election” and “working with legislators” as well as boards of elections and secretaries of state. “And then when they don’t, we’re going to the courts,” he said.
BIDEN/HARRIS/OBAMA’S AMERICA LAST REGIME: RADICAL TRANSFORMATION OF FOREIGN POLICY
Silver: To AOC: You keep using that word
Despite the fact that you have gone on TV and couldn’t define what “the occupation of Palestine” really meant and admitted that you weren’t “an expert in geopolitics,” that doesn’t seem to have stopped you from weighing in on things that you don’t actually understand very well. […] The situation in Gaza is absolutely horrific. As a mother, I look at the kids who are teetering on the brink of starvation, and my heart cries out for them. As a human being, I look at the realities of their lives, and I feel broken-hearted. And as a scholar of genocide, this falls short on every level, but let’s come back to that question later. Let’s say you are right, there is a forced famine in Gaza. Then aren’t you actually calling Hamas genocidal? (That would be something else you and I agree on). Hear me out. You said on CNN that the actions of Hamas don’t excuse the starvation of the Palestinian people. I agree with you there. But what about when the actions of Hamas are, in fact, stealing said food aid? I notice that you don’t mention that. Why are people in Gaza complaining that the food aid is “too expensive” or that it is “missing protein”? Why is aid food for sale? Why is it of poor quality? Because Hamas has taken almost all of it.

Boehm: The Obscure Protectionist Law That Will Slow Clean-up of the Baltimore Bridge Disaster
Until the bridge’s wreckage can be cleared away, the Port of Baltimore is cut off from the Chesapeake Bay, the Atlantic Ocean, and the global supply chains beyond. […] The Foreign Dredge Act is an older cousin to the more well-known and infamous Jones Act, which bans foreign-built ships from moving goods between American ports. As a result, it drives up shipping prices to places to Puerto Rico and Hawaii, adds traffic to American highways, and leaves sizable parts of the country without access to natural gas. Like the Jones Act, the Foreign Dredge Act is a purely protectionist law that forbids . . .
DEMOCRAT PARTY MARXIST PLAYBOOK: SEVER THE PARENT/CHILD BOND
Manning: What Kid Needs Parents When Government Schools Dish Out Everything From Dinner To Hormones?
Leftist activists are all in on controlling your kids from “cradle to career.” This is evident in federally funded Head Start programs, which currently enroll infants. No need for parents to care for their own children — just drop them off with state-appointed caretakers. Then as the children grow, school districts across the nation serve three meals each day. No need to buy groceries anymore when you can send the kids to school to eat. In a complete role reversal, schools give parents permission to come visit their children at school for “homework din[n]ers.” No need for private family meals. The government will now even provide “health care” to your children at school — or whatever passes for it. School-based health clinics or “wellness centers” may sound benign, but they are the new avenue by which government schools exert more control, taking away yet another parenting responsibility.

Fernndez: Kentucky Legislature cuts Democratic governor out of picking potential McConnell replacement
The Kentucky state Legislature passed legislation on Thursday that would change how vacancies in the U.S. Senate are filled, over the objections of Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear. The Republican-sponsored bill, which would require a special election to choose a senator in the case of an open seat in the unexpired term, passed with bipartisan support as the Legislature nears the end of its session. It passed both chambers with veto-proof majorities. It’s a significant change from how the process currently works. […] The bill now heads to Beshear’s desk. Should he veto the legislation, the GOP supermajority can override it, even without Democrats.

Greenfield: The More Powerful the Teachers Union, the Less the Children Learned
The Biden administration is on a hunt for systemic racism. Thus far it’s found systemic racism everywhere from the highway system to the military, but the one place it hasn’t looked is among the ranks of the teachers unions who provide much of its cash and its election foot soldiers.
But new data reported by the New York Times shows that the pandemic school closures demanded by teachers unions were the single greatest act of systemic racism in 50 years. During the pandemic, members of the corrupt teachers union machine demanded school closures to “save lives”. Unwilling to do their jobs, they instead marched around brandishing coffins at political protests while warning that if they had to go and teach, everyone would die.

THE DEMOCRAT PARTY MARXIST PLAYBOOK: PROMOTE, GLORIFY, & NORMALIZE GENDER DYSPHORIA A MENTAL ILLNESS
(And the health risk to the newborn?) Ward: Duke University researchers help transgender woman, 50, breastfeed her GRANDCHILD using experimental hormone drugs so she could feel what it’s like to be a real mom – but critics call it ‘frankly disturbing’
The unidentified 50-year-old was helped to express up to 30ml of milk at a time, after a four week course of hormone treatment. Researchers from Duke University reported the woman ‘lactated for a total of two weeks’ and was able to feed the four-month-old baby. The motivation for inducing lactation was to create a ‘bond from breastfeeding that she had not been able to experience with her own five children’. She was moved to tears by the experience, which she said had the added benefit of affirming her female gender and making her breasts larger.
WHERE ARE THE FEMINISTS?
Haug: Feminist Silence: Hamas’s Sexual Violence
- In November 2023, it was reported that the United Nations’ Special Rapporteur on Violence Against Women and Girls, Reem Alsalem, notwithstanding overwhelming evidence to the contrary, claimed the evidence against Hamas “was ‘not solid’ enough to warrant a statement” — to which London’s Victims’ Commissioner, Claire Waxman, replied: “How can we talk about eliminating violence against women and girls if we are tacitly saying its acceptable to rape Jewish ones?”
- Alsalem, from Jordan, claims the charges against Israeli forces are “reasonably credible,” but refuses to divulge the source. In reality, no credible or proven instance of this behaviour by Israel’s forces in Gaza since October 7 has been publicly recorded.
- “Organizations that fight for LGBT rights condemned the country that allows freedom, and marched for a terrorist organization that punishes gay people with death.” — Jared Kushner, townhall.com, March 7, 2024.
- “Above all, we must at all times remember what intellectuals habitually forget: that people matter more than concepts and must come first. The worst of all despotisms is the heartless tyranny of ideas.” — Paul Johnson, historian, thepublicdiscourse.com, January 23, 2023.

[…] To be expected, radical feminist groups rebel against criticism of their failure to firmly condemn Hamas’s sexual assaults. An article published February 29, 2024 in Portside Magazine, by an anonymous group, projected the blame onto Israel: “Israel’s current campaign to discredit feminists – especially feminists of color, Arab feminists, and Jewish anti-Zionist feminists – and others critical of its lethal offensive against Palestinians is insulting and dishonest, but it is nothing new.” They did not write a single word condemning Hamas’s use of systemic rape and mutilation as terror. In striving for purported social justice, contemporary radical feminists seem to perceive crucial issues like race and gender through the lens of “critical race theory.”

WAR IN ISRAEL
Amalaraj: October 7 terrorist’s shocking video testimony is revealed by Israel as he describes sexually assaulting ‘terrified’ woman: ‘I stripped off her clothes. The devil took over me, and I did what I did […] I raped her’
The detained terrorist, who identifies himself as 28-year-old Manar Mahmoud Muhammad Qasem, said he broke into a house in an unnamed kibbutz in Israel and found a lone, terrified woman, according to a video shared with MailOnline. ‘At first when I entered there was no one, then I entered a room and someone was there and was scared of me,’ he said in an interrogation room while sitting in front of an Israeli flag. ‘She told me to help her, I took her and threw her on the couch.’ He then described in sickening detail how he sexually assaulted the woman. ‘The devil took over me, I laid her down started undressing her and did what I did.’ But the interrogator, from Unit 504 of the IDF’s intelligence arm, pressed him, and the terrorist says he ‘slept with her’. The interrogator angrily says: ‘You did not sleep with her, sleep is to sleep. So what did you do?’ The dead-eyed terrorist then admits: ‘I raped her.’

Jesse Waters: For two decades, Diddy was the Democrats’ biggest black celebrity influencer. Democrats used Diddy’s charisma, star power and street cred in the black community, every single election. He was a political enforcer and in the back pocket of the powerful. That made him powerful, with a free pass. Now if Diddy’s found guilty, he’s a combination of Harvey Weinstein and Jeffrey Epstein. So how prevalent is sexual blackmail in American industry and Democrat politics? It’s more than you think. And the powerful not only tolerate it, they participate in it.

Perez: Professors get $1 million to apply ‘critical race studies’ to the classics
Critical race theory will be applied to the classics thanks to a $1 million grant given to two Ivy League professors. The Mellon Foundation granted the funds to Brown University Professor Sasha-Mae Eccleston and Dan-el Peralta, a Princeton University professor, for their “Racing the Classics” fellowship. […] The fellowship program, which will begin in 2025, continues a project the two began with a conference in 2017. “The inaugural event invited participants to unabashedly center race and ethnicity in their research in order to counter the dangerously universalizing pretensions of ‘Western Civilization’ and other white supremacist ideologies suffusing the academy,” a description states.
Bates & Cirronee: Sam Bankman-Fried sentencing: Sam Bankman Fried is jailed for 25 YEARS for $8bn crypto fraud, as FTX scammer ignores grim-faced parents in court and judge slams him for perjury
‘A lot of people feel really let down and they were very let down. I’m sorry about that. I’m sorry about what happened at every stage,’ Bankman-Fried said. ‘Things I should have done, things I shouldn’t have.’ Judge Lewis Kaplan said the 32-year-old FTX founder – commonly known as SBF – was being sentenced to 300 months and forfeit more than $11billion. The judge also blasted him for committing perjury three times during the October trial that saw him convicted by a jury. The prosecution wants the disgraced crypto exec to spend 40 to 50 years behind bars, while the defense is asking for a much more lenient sentence of no greater than six and a half years. Judge Lewis Kaplan was quick to bash Bankman-Fried during the hearing and noted the fraudster committed perjury multiple times during a trial that saw him convicted on all counts by a jury.
Hutchinson & Sarnoff: What to know about the deadly Rockford, Illinois, stabbing spree
A 22-year-old man has been arrested in connection with a stabbing rampage Wednesday afternoon in Rockford, Illinois, that left four people dead in 20 minutes, including a U.S. postal worker and a teenage girl, and seven other victims injured, police said. Following his arrest in the frenzied attack, the suspect, Christian Soto, waived his Miranda rights to remain silent and told investigators he was high on marijuana he claimed was given to him by one of the slaying victims that he believed was laced with a strong narcotic, Winnebago County State’s Attorney J. Hanley said at a news conference Thursday. But Hanley said Soto was conscious throughout the entire rampage and recalled details of each attack in his interview with investigators. “I don’t have a real answer for that,” Hanley said of the possible motive. “And I’m not sure we will.” Soto faces four counts of murder and seven counts of attempted murder, as well as two counts of home invasion with a dangerous weapon, Hanley said. Soto is scheduled to be arraigned Thursday afternoon.
