From @WSJopinion: Biden’s fibs are a 20th-century throwback, writes @Peggynoonannyc. They’re cinematic, as befits a politician who came of age during Hollywood’s golden era. https://t.co/QHWg5MjkaX
Thanks to a new Texas law, Texas A&M has shut down its DEI office. A cabinet-level diversity position has been abolished. Another school has closed an "LGBTQ resource center."
The people most upset about Texas's new law are an undergrad who complains that white uniforms remind her of the KKK, and a worthless professor of public administration currently suing A&M for "employment discrimination."
Banning DEI angers the right people, and more importantly, it works. Every Republican state should do the same.

Hunter’s alleged felonies range from bribery to tax evasion. That he has not yet been prosecuted for anything is scandalous. His exemption is attributable only to Attorney General Merrick Garland’s likely weaponized directives to federal prosecutors to downgrade or forget altogether felony charges against Hunter. https://t.co/1d7Ah86eLC via @VDHanson
The corporate media is churning out negative articles about @elonmusk, who has been generously providing free Starlink internet to Ukraine at a cost exceeding $80 million since the war began.
Why? He doesn't want his satellites used in long-range drone attacks on Russia, as he fears it could worsen the conflict and even trigger a nuclear war.
Musk has firmly rejected the idea of allowing Starlink to be used in a way that could escalate the conflict into World War III.
Here are some quotes from Musk since the war started:
"Starlink is the communication backbone of Ukraine, especially at the front lines, where almost all other Internet connectivity has been destroyed. But we will not enable escalation of conflict that may lead to WW3."
"SpaceX’s out of pocket cost to enable & support Starlink in Ukraine is ~$80M so far. Our support for Russia is $0. Obviously, we are pro Ukraine. Trying to retake Crimea will cause massive death, probably fail & risk nuclear war. This would be terrible for Ukraine & Earth."
"SpaceX Starlink has become the connectivity backbone of Ukraine all the way up to the front lines. This is the damned if you do part. However, we are not allowing Starlink to be used for long-range drone strikes. This is the damned if you don’t part."

It's entirely reasonable not to want your satellite technology involved in triggering a catastrophic world war, especially with Russia, which would have dire consequences for humanity.
Despite Musk's clear public statements that Starlink won't be used for long-range drone attacks, some media outlets are now attempting to tarnish his reputation for not permitting Starlink to be used in such a manner.
In my view, these click-bait sensationalist headlines are disgusting, and I extend my appreciation to @elonmusk for his efforts in preventing a potential nuclear war.
