Cornell 7 Drama Proves the Campus-Rape Panic Is a Farce
source: NY Post
The campus rape industry cannot tolerate Jane Doe’s earlier honest self-evaluation. If females take full responsibility for their own behavior, the lucrative, bureaucracy-bloated grift will come crashing down. So the college assault complex has a surefire method for erasing such moments of clarity: Don’t believe those “survivor” statements.
How the Sexual Revolution Led to the Cornell 7 Rape Case
source: Wall Street Journal
Both the boys and the girls are encouraged to have sex, including with strangers, including while inebriated. The only rule is that everyone must consent at all times, which sounds simple enough. But, for a young man, this simple rule demands fine-tuned social judgment.
Is Trumpism to Blame for the Cornell 7?
source: American Spectator
By Robert McCain: I despise everything about Cornell University It’s the same with all our rotten “elite” universities. Cornell is almost as bad as Harvard, and nearly worse than Brown. The faculty at Cornell leans so far left, they’re practically horizontal, and the students are mostly Communists, who rioted this week in support of “Jane Doe.”
Cornell Case Is a Moral Failure
source: Townhall
Why does a young woman on a college campus think it's the right thing to go to a fraternity and have a threesome? To let strangers snort drugs off her body? To snort drugs off someone else's body? Why do these young men think that inviting a girl you barely know — or don't know at all — to have an orgy is a perfectly fine thing to do?
The Protests for Cornell’s Jane Doe Are Midterm Turnout Bait
source: FrontPage
The Cornell 7 scandal is meant as an ‘identity politics’ case: alienating women from the Republican Party and the conservative movement, and amplifying Democratic Party turnout by women.
In Cornell Sex Assault Case, Dems Forgot the Lessons of the Duke Lacrosse Scandal
source: Washington Free Beacon
Two decades ago, a spectacular allegation of gang rape at a prestigious university seized the public’s attention. We all know how the Duke lacrosse case ended: with the prosecutor disgraced and disbarred; the accused students declared innocent; and (albeit much later) the accuser admitting that she lied.
Black Cornell 7 Student Booted from Current College Without Due Process
source: Breitbart
Jonathan Newell, a black, 21-year-old former Cornell University student named in a lawsuit by Jane Doe alleging she was gang raped, was just booted from Nova Southeastern University in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, without any apparent due process.
Mamdani’s Oct. 7 Statement Isn’t Pro-Palestinian. It’s Pro-Hamas
source: Washington Examiner
On the anniversary of the worst massacre of Jews since the Holocaust, he devotes most of his message to an indictment of Israel, accusing it of an “ongoing genocide,” invoking “apartheid” and “occupation,” describing American “complicity,” and presenting a litany of Palestinian suffering in which Israel appears almost exclusively as the perpetrator.
NYC Mayor Mamdani’s Oct. 7 Smear
source: The Free Press
In a statement marking the worst mass killing of Jews since the Holocaust, New York’s mayor showed his true colors
Jew-Hating Radicals Are Celebrating the Horrors of Oct. 7 and Organizing Parades Full of Monsters
source: NY Post
Groups calling themselves “anti-Zionists” say they will mark the event with rallies in Gotham and many other cities around the world. In effect, they aim to turn Oct. 7 into an international day of joyful celebration of the butchers who carried out the initial attack, and hail their ultimate cause of eliminating the Jewish state.
Hating Trump Seems to Be the Most Important Issue in America
source: SteveGruber.com
For many voters, opposition to Trump seems to have become their entire political identity. Is their candidate flirting with socialism? Communism? No problem. Trump is worse. Democrats pushing policies allowing minors access to gender-transition procedures? That’s still preferable to the Orange Menace.
“The Social Reckoning,” Aaron Sorkin’s Anti-Trump Movie, Stumbles
source: Hollywood in Toto
“The Social Reckoning” twists that truth into yet another attack on Trump and, in some ways, on free speech. The delayed sequel to “The Social Network” is a far less interesting tale, one with a partisan chip on its shoulder. Director Aaron Sorkin’s film is never dull, but it’s so blinded by ideology it forgets what makes a killer story.
Bring U.S. Forces Home

If assets are under threat even in the UK, it’s time to wind down America’s global presence.
Trans Radical Who Massacred Kids in Canadian School Allegedly Had American Support
source: Blaze Media
A Washington state resident allegedly provided counsel and financial support to the trans-identifying radical who shot up a Canadian school in February.
Global Warming Screed “Digger” Flops All Over the Globe
source: Breitbart
It’s one thing when we uncouth, unsophisticated, gun-loving, Jesus-freak Americans reject a movie. But certainly the oh-so broad-minded, respectable progressive international audience will embrace a piece of auteur cinema that pretends Global Warming is real and shames Western Civilization for embracing the great gift of oil that fueled the Industrial Age.
