Today, I published a column in the New York Post about the morality crisis on “elite” college campuses.
Celebrating Luigi Mangione’s depraved actions was the latest post-October 7th iteration of the simplistic oppressor-oppressed binary that governs campus leftists’ worldviews.
I’m convinced that people like this can only win because most voters are so poorly informed. Excluding Columbia University extremists like the candidate herself, normal Harlem / uptown voters do *not* want murderers roaming the streets, as Darializa Avila Chavalier seems to want.
And Zohran Mamdani has endorsed this candidate. Don’t let flowery speeches from a failed theater kid distract you from the radical project at hand.
Watch as Darializa Avila Chevalier, prison abolitionist, is asked *four times* how she would handle a murderer, and each time refuses to answer. https://t.co/NFXYotaFx0
How in the hell has a defense witness in the 1993 WTC bombing, with ties to Al-Qaeda been nominated by the Democrats to serve in Congress?
If elected in November, Congress should fully investigate his ties to terrorist organizations and determine whether he is fit to serve.
Graham Platner got his five minutes of fame on The View today....safe to say the ladies were not impressed.
"This man should be nowhere near Congress."
"he's a cheater, he's an anti-semite...he's a liar, a racist....a homophobe....character does matter."
"There is no doubt that this guy Platner is flawed, flawed, flawed in many ways."

My friend, I'll say it clear: I'll state my case, of which I'm certain.
I did it my way”

Over three decades later, we are committed to holding those accountable for the murders of four brave Americans: Carlos Costa, Armando Alejandre Jr., Mario de la Peña, and Pablo Morales. For the first time in nearly 70 years, senior leadership of the Cuban regime has been charged in the United States for alleged acts of violence resulting in the deaths of American citizens. @POTUS and this @TheJusticeDept are committed to restoring a simple principle: if you kill Americans, we will pursue you. No matter who you are. No matter what title you hold.
If a Republican candidate proposed putting Jews in work camps it would be a national media story for days.
There is no version of America where rhetoric like this is acceptable.
Aside from the way that it keeps qualified applicants out of medical school, the way in which DEI leads to failures that force institutions into a self-reinforcing cycle of more egregious DEI policies has been truly unbelievable.
Another fascinating DEI article in @compactmag.
In 2014, white men made up roughly 31 percent of US medical students, a figure closely aligned with their share of the national population.
By 2025, white men accounted for just 20.5 percent.

There are two parallel stories at play here:
1) Top tennis programs barely have American players. Nearly 80% of the men’s team and 65% of the women’s team at Arkansas are international. What few spots exist for D1 tennis are not going to Americans. As @PatrickMcEnroe pointed out, of the ACC + SEC men’s team finals: 24 singles players… 3 Americans.
2) NIL is changing incentives, with NCAA programs needing to devote the most resources possible to football and basketball, thereby reducing the number of, say, tennis programs and further reducing the number of spots for American juniors.
Misaligned incentives will ruin college sports. For the big sports, it will be a free-for-all, and for the small sports, it will be an evaporation.
Back in 2024 when Charlie & I visited campuses, the crazy questions we got came from the woke left, but now there’s a new trend emerging. This was the last question I got at OSU this week (and it wasn’t the only one like it).
And these leftist celebrate rather than bemoan capital flight.
“Eat the rich,” but what about the thousands of construction workers, carpenters, plumbers, etc. whose jobs are predicated on major localized investment?
As I said a week ago, risky strategy @NYCMayor
In an internal email to Citadel NY employees, COO Gerald A. Beeson, says they may not move forward with the new Park Ave construction project now.
“It is shameful that he [Mamdani] used Ken’s name as the example of those who supposedly aren’t carrying their fair share of the burdens associated with New York City’s often costly and wasteful spending. In doing so, the Mayor has once again manifested the ignorance and disdain of the elite political class towards those who have been consistently committed to building one of the greatest cities in the world.”
“We are about to commence the redevelopment of 350 Park Avenue, creating 6,000 highly paid construction jobs and supporting the creation of more than 15,000 permanent jobs in mid-town New York. The project – if we move forward – will entail more than $6 billion dollars of spending.”
Vivek is so obviously correct. Sure, we should probably sunset aid in the future, but the subject of U.S. aid to Israel is the most common question at TPUSA events and talking point among groyper-adjacent fringe candidates like James Fishback. Nobody with a brain wonders why.
Obviously this is plainly antisemitic. But can we discuss the other moronic aspect of Fishback’s argument?
He wants to sign a trade deal with Brazil. Has he read Article I, Section 10 of the Constitution? Plainly unconstitutional.
Deeply unserious and hateful candidate.
1/ President Trump expanded the Republican coalition in 2024 by persuading new types of voters.
But in building a campaign premised on proving his edgier-than-thou credentials, @j_fishback threatens to undo those gains.
My latest @CityJournal:
4/ Fishback isn’t going to be Florida’s next governor. He probably isn’t even eligible. But his campaign typifies the danger of his edgelording game: attention is received through intra-coalition provocation, which invariably threatens the coalition.
It be roundly rejected.
