El gobierno de izquierda de Honduras está a la defensiva desde su choque diplomático con Washington. Nuestra investigación revela que una red de agentes del cambio de régimen apoyada por el gobierno estadounidense es la que libra los ataques, y que emplean tácticas del lawfare para fabricar un escándalo que se anticipa a las elecciones en Tegucigalpa. El gobierno hondureño ha criticado duramente a los Estados Unidos por su intento de iniciar un “golpe de Estado” en el país centroamericano, […]

Will the media finally concede that she isn’t avoiding their gotcha nonsense because she’s incapable of answering questions? Check this out. It’s masterful: You want issues? She is very good. But I’m sure the media will continue to dog her for constant press conferences, tarmac comments etc because that’s what Donald Trump does. She can do this her own way and it will be fine.

I realize that because I have several chairs, the phrase “my chair” is ambiguous. To reduce confusion, I will refer to the head of my academic department as “my office chair” going forward.

… to the worst health insurance system in the industrialized world JD Vance’s dance across the Sunday shows is one for the ages. We’ve already discussed his admission that they “create stories” (such as immigrants eating pets) in order to “draw attention” to the issues they think benefit them. But he said other things that are almost as interesting — and damning. What asked about Trump’s “concept of a plan” about replacing Obamacare (which just demonstrated in living color the fact that Trump had no plan despite promising for 9 long years) Vance replied: You want to make sure that preexisting coverage – conditions are covered, you want to make sure that people have access to the doctors that they need, and you also want to implement some deregulatory agenda so that people can choose a health care plan that fits them. Think about it: a young American doesn’t have the same health care needs as a 65-year-old American. A 65-year-old American in good health has much different health care needs than a 65-year-old American with a chronic condition. And we want to make sure everybody is covered.

Slate’s Dahlia Lithwick and Mark Joseph Stern, two of he best legal analysts and Supreme Court observers, take a cold hard look at Chief Justice John Roberts’ newly revealed behavior in the big Trump cases last term and ruefully cop to being wrong about him. They discuss his seemingly centrist position in a number of important cases in which he found himself in the minority and his endless paeans to court legitimacy and conclude that he never really cared about the latter and just got tired of losing: Two years ago, in his solo Dobbs concurrence, Roberts faulted both the majority and the dissent for their “relentless freedom from doubt.” We can only guess that some time thereafter, he decided doubt was, in fact, for suckers, and embraced the aggressive activism of his colleagues to the right. We get it: Losing is no fun, and in the early days of the 6–3 court, when Roberts tried to find a middle ground, he sometimes faced the sting of defeat, and rebukes from his own party.

I just found those with a cursory Google search. I’m sure there have been many more and even more than that for President Biden. Trump’s SS team seems to be at his mercy (recall how he insisted on standing up at the Butler event and screaming “fight, fight! against their wishes) and according to these reports he has consistently refused to let them provide proper security at his golf courses. The Washington Post reports: Soon after Donald Trump became president, authorities tried to warn him about the risks posed by golfing at his own courses because of their proximity to public roads. Secret Service agents came armed with unusual evidence: not suspect profiles or spent bullet casings, but simple photographs taken by news crews of him golfing at his private club in Sterling, Va. They reasoned that if photographers with long-range lenses could get the president in their sights while he golfed, so too could potential gunmen, according to former U.S. officials involved in the discussions who, like most others interviewed for this story, spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the matter’s sensitivity.

The wokeness epidemic has infected none of our institutions harder than our nation’s college campuses. It’s a sad sight to see these once bastions of higher learning transformed into little more than leftist indoctrination factories. The issue gets worse and worse each year, but unlike those who cower to the liberal mob, I’m not afraid to call out the root cause of my concern: I graduated from college forty-one years ago and miss being young so, so bad.

Dear God, please make me young again.

Anyone who thinks our universities are still places of serious academia need only take a quick look at their farcical course offerings. “Queer Theory”? “Women’s Studies”? “Computer Science”? Let’s be frank: does anyone actually understand what these mean? I sure don’t, and feeling out of touch scares me so much that I lash out at waitresses.

University life has changed tremendously since I was a student. Back when I was in college, I was a cool, virile twenty-two-year-old with washboard abs and a large group of friends. Students today would struggle to say the same, since I’m sixty-two, my kids hate me, and my doctor says I’m prediabetic.
