When I was in middle school, someone gave me a copy of "The Catcher in the Rye," which, depending on the national mood, has found itself on the banned list of various schools. The adventures of Holden Caulfield were interesting and entertaining. But more often than not, I found myself convulsed with laughter over Holden's observations about the world and the way in which he expressed them. I have often used the phrase "as sensitive as a toilet seat" to describe many people I have met. Moreover, Holden's problems resonated with me. Many young people, and for that matter many adults, can relate to Holden's inability to conform to the

Rice University is offering an 'Afrochemistry' class that promises to analyze science through a 'contemporary African-American lens'.
Marketed as 'the study of black-life matter', a play on words merging science jargon with the Black Lives Matter movement, the course begins this semester.
The course description on the university's website explains students will 'apply chemical tools and analysis to understand black life in the US' and 'implement African American sensibilities to analyze chemistry'.
'Diverse historical and contemporary scientists, intellectuals, and chemical discoveries will inform personal reflections and proposals for addressing inequities in chemistry and chemical education,' it read.

China used to boast that this would be its century, but will there even be a China at the end of this century?
The numbers are not promising.
China’s population fell for the second year in a row in 2023, as deaths outpaced births in what was once the world’s most populous country.
Chinese authorities see the declining population as an existential threat to its economic future.
In 2022, China saw its first population decline since the 1960s, though it still had a population of 1.41175 billion people.
China’s population declined for a second consecutive year in 2023, dropping by about 2.08 million to 1.409 billion people, the country’s National Bureau of Statistics announced Wednesday.

The Nation, a magazine that was founded just after the end of the Civil War but is now farther to the left than Stalin, proudly features Mohammed El-Kurd as its “first-ever Palestine Correspondent.” Apparently El-Kurd took that to mean “Hamas correspondent,” as he just declared, in a chilling glimpse of what the left has in store for us, “We must normalize massacres as the status quo.”
El-Kurd said this Saturday at a pro-Palestinian rally in London and was initially defiant when he started getting negative feedback. He wrote on X: “Lots of ppl reporting this speech to the police. Idgaf. Zionism is indefensible” and “are you gonna arrest me?”

One of climate alarmists’ favorite predictions is that the Arctic is losing its ice due to global warming, something elites have claimed for decades. New data shows, however, that Arctic ice is actually increasing! Climate has always changed and will continue to do so until the real apocalypse (not the fake one climate alarmists have been predicting as imminent for decades). With more than 50 years of failed climate change predictions behind them and a track record of consistent and total untrustworthiness, you’d think that the doom prophets would have given up. Then again, climate change is a convenient way for the greedy to enrich

Throughout the Biden presidency, there's been a constant refrain that eliminating fossil fuels will solve all our environmental problems. A big part of that narrative is the push to encourage, cajole, and force everyone into buying electric vehicles (EVs). The disadvantages of EVs are obvious. They're more expensive than gas-powered cars and don't have a long enough range for traveling, but both facts are lost on the elite leftists who think that EVs are the answer to every question. The charging infrastructure is lacking, and it won't be sufficient to support extensive EV use for a long time.

Just recently, ahead of the anniversary of Jan. 6, President Joe Biden gave a speech near Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, to kick off his 2024 campaign. His theme was that the upcoming presidential election will determine whether or not America remains a democracy because a vote for Donald Trump is a vote to end democracy in America.
Politically speaking, the purpose of the speech was clear. Given that Biden has among the lowest favorability numbers ever recorded for a sitting president, he cannot make the election about his achievements.
Because he has none that warrant his reelection. In every way, he has made America a worse country.

In the movie Bananas, product tester Fielding Mellish (Woody Allen) seeks to impress his left-wing girlfriend Nancy (Louise Lasser) by joining a revolution in the South American country of San Marcos. The rebels oust military dictator Gen. Emilio Vargas (Carlos Montalban) but when Mellish returns stateside he’s put on trial as a traitor. The prosecution’s star witness is Miss America, wonderfully played by Dagne Crane.
“I think Mr. Mellish is a traitor to this country,” Miss America testifies, “because his views are different from the views of president and those of his kind. Differences of opinion should be tolerated, but not when they’re too different. Then he becomes a

The Federal Bureau of Investigation was once considered the greatest investigative organization in the world. Their investigative talents and reputation were unparalleled. The mission, as stated on their website, is to ‘protect the American people and uphold the Constitution of the United States.' And they did. They were men and women in white shirts, clean, dedicated, and by the book. But something happened along the way. They became an arm of the Deep State, the deepest part of the swamp, the establishment in Washington, D.C., principally the Democrat Party, which spent years placing operatives in key permanent positions. The FBI has had some low points, notably Waco and Ruby Ridge,

It seemed like someone decided on Friday that it would be a better idea to send Joe Biden around to local stores in the Allentown, Pennsylvania, area, rather than having him go off on a confused speech.
I don't think that was a smart idea. The more situations that put him in contact with people, the more likelihood you have of him having a problem because of his confusion. But, truly, either way they're going to have a problem because it's Joe. It started off badly. (X) As Joe left the first store, he found out exactly what Pennsylvania voters think of him when someone shouted out, "You're a loser."

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin has been in the news lately more for what he didn't do than what he did. As we wrote previously, Austin kept almost everyone in the White House in the dark about his whereabouts--when he was actually in the hospital, recovering from a major surgery in the wake of a cancer diagnosis. (Snip) But I need to highlight the direction the Biden Administration has been leaning in answering media questions about the man who is supposed to be running the Pentagon right now. My colleague Streiff wrote on Jan. 7 that despite Biden not being told about Austin's condition until Tuesday:

Joe Biden has horrible approval ratings when it comes to the economy.
That's put the Biden team in a quandary as to what to do when the media asks them about this fact. They've claimed it's just bad messaging--that Americans just don't understand what's going on.
That of course is both presumptuous and insulting, acting like Americans are stupid and don't understand when they are paying more for everything.
Biden was in Allentown, Pennsylvania, on Friday. I wrote about some of his remarks about Iran and the Houthis, as well as his scary confusion and creeping on a blonde girl.
