The NRCC would do well to push @DrZ4AZ and not in an idiotic, pandering identitarian way. Rather, in a "listen-up" way: this guy is a uniquely-talented, unquestionably-accomplished, all-in patriot with keen insight on the the rise of Islamism within the DSA Party ranks, a pressing issue of the day, who would immediately be an international spokesman for peaceful pluralist Muslims--and against expansionist Islamofascists--in America and the larger West. To miss the opportunity to level Dr. Jasser up is live down to the myopic criticisms conservatives have of the party's leadership.

Always an amazing conversation with the brilliant @DanProft @MorningAnswer as we discussed the reality of the threat to Americanism coming from the Marxist-Jihadist “parasitic” movement embodied in the @DemSocialists takeover of the @TheDemocrats . @DrZ4AZ

Like the Red Brigades in Italy in the 1970s and 1980s but slightly more Maoist and less fun-loving while better compensated...

Chicago Teachers Union@CTULocal1

Yesterday, educators, athletic directors, and librarians stood up one by one at the Board of Education meeting to describe exactly what the preliminary budget cuts will do to Chicago students. They will cut lead coach & mentor positions, eliminate high school Athletic Director roles, leave coaches without stipends they're owed, and shut down school libraries. We were loud and clear: CTU is calling on Governor Pritzker and Illinois lawmakers to convene a special session to pay the $2 billion owed to Chicago and fully fund schools statewide before these cuts hit classrooms this fall. 📢Our students deserve nothing less. Fully fund our schools!

Dan Proft welcomed @DrZuhdiJasser, president of the American Islamic Forum for Democracy, co-founder of the Muslim Reform Movement, a former U.S. Navy lieutenant commander, and a Republican candidate for Congress in Arizona’s 4th District, for a wider conversation about the ideological currents he believes are reshaping urban politics.

One of the reasons we have so many droogs roaming the streets is because they don't/can't read and those who read just enough to get into Harvard need "A Clockwork Orange" "translated" into English.
Liza Libes@pensandpoison

The Atlantic’s new cover story on the decline of reading features a Harvard student who complained that he had to read a book written in "Old English." Now, you might be thinking that he was assigned Beowulf or The Canterbury Tales. Nope. This student was assigned A Clockwork Orange—and used ChatGPT to “translate” it. A Clockwork Orange was written in 1962 (not 1692, which is still modern English, by the way). This student’s grandparents were alive in the 60s. Is he also using a translation bot to speak to them? Yes, I had an easier time than most people with the novel's Nadsat slang because I speak Russian, but you catch on very quickly if you turn on more than two brain cells—and the entire point is to compel you to inhabit Alex’s deranged mind, which is cool! For the first time in my life, I feel bad for Alex from A Clockwork Orange for being so misunderstood.

I'm looking forward to Gillum's Platner-like redemption story in a couple of election cycles after a very public conversion to Mandamism after a very public turn away from drugs. His dalliances with male prostitutes will be his Nazi tattoo--just something a guy does when he's goin' through some stuff.

🚨ARRESTED🚨 Former Florida gubernatorial candidate Andrew Gillum, who narrowly lost to Ron DeSantis in 2018, was arrested last week in Alabama on drug charges. Gillum was taken into custody Thursday night in Daphne, AL, and booked into Baldwin County jail for possession of dangerous drugs, drug paraphernalia, and marijuana. Daphne PD has not released further details.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ SOURCE: TMZ

This week's installment of @MorningAnswer's "In Depth History" with Frank the History Teacher from Arlington Heights...because there's nothing new in this world just the history you don't know and Frank does. +++ Passed Ball Good Morning!  “So goes Maine, so goes the nation.” was the old saying before WW2.  And the earliest signal of how the Pine Tree State would vote in November was its early statewide elections held two months earlier.  In 1932, it went Democrat statewide presaging FDR’s victory.  But in 36 it reverted to electing Republicans so the GOP was optimistic they would take back the White House. Of course, Roosevelt beat Alf Landon 46 states to 2, one of which was Maine so the phrase then became “So goes Maine, so goes Vermont”. Why were the Republicans so confident?  Much had to do with the hits the New Deal took at the Supreme Court.  In 1935, in Schechter Poultry Corp vs the USA the court unanimously struck down the National Industrial Recovery Act saying the Congress wrongly delegated its power to the Executive Branch and had exceeded its authority under the Commerce Clause. This decision put on a check on the New Deal’s massive expansion of federal power. But to me the most interesting case was Humphrey Executor vs the US.  Mr. Humphrey, an FTC appointee of President Hoover was asked to resign by FDR because of his conservative views.  Humphrey was fired, then died and his estate sued.  And SCOTUS here unanimously rebuked Roosevelt and severely weakened the theory of the Unitary Executive in vogue since Andrew Jackson.  Basically, the Presidency was weakened versus the bureaucracy. Fortunately, reversing Humphrey has been a long-time goal of Chief Justice Roberts and President Trump rightly recognized the big win here.  But contrast this with the completely wrong birthright citizenship decision, and one wonders whether Roberts will ever deliver a truly great term.  Two reasons say no – first, Amy Souter Barrett has clearly had greater intellectual decay than we thought.  And Roberts, who, in 2005 labeled himself as a judicial umpire calling the balls and strikes, appears to be no better than one of those middle aged prima donna little league umps who take every count full just to make themselves the center of attention.

If only Platner wasn't a SS-cosplaying anti-Semite perhaps he could've gotten the help he needed.

"What makes America great — prepare for a searing insight — is Americans. I don’t mean American politicians; I mean everyday, hardworking, generous, friendly, decent Americans, who I believe greatly outnumber the idiots. I mean the people who hold the door for you, and say 'thank you' when you hold the door for them, and buy Girl Scout cookies even though they already have some at home, and never butt in line, and will lend you their jumper cables...and all the other millions of small but good things that millions of Americans do every day. Which is not to say we can’t be better. But I sincerely believe — and I’m a professionally cynical old guy of 79 — that we’re pretty good." - @rayadverb As I agree with the great humorist Dave Barry--the above is no joke--keep sending in your stories of unsung Americans (in or with a nexus to the Chicago DMA) who lived lives that made and make America great and I'll keep sharing them on @MorningAnswer.
