This dude is a 45-year-old failed comedian who spends tons of money on botted Twitter likes and is mocking a widow based on a completely fake quote posted by Richard Hanania

Lauren Boebert switched to a safer Republican district in 2024 to save her political career, only to lose in 2026 while her old district stayed red. maybe the district wasn't the problem.
Another election handed to Democrats because of the libertarians.

Replying to @SethDillon
No one who openly campaigned for the Democrats in 2024 should be welcome in any sort of prominent position in the Republican Party or conservative movement in let's say, the next decade or so at least.

“Kids can’t learn from teachers they don’t like” 1) Simply not true. I learned plenty from teachers I didn’t care for. 2) They’re going to have to interact and work with people they don’t like their entire life. What a terrible message to communicate

These are all valid points but then the immediate secondary question: with fewer PhD students TAs, who teaches the classes? The answer is self-correcting (more tenure-line professors), but costs money, which is why no university is doing it in fields they'd rather defund.
There is an overproduction of PhDs in many humanities disciplines. There is declining trust on the part of the public regarding the quality and value of a humanities PhD. There is a crisis of wages for PhD students. (I was paid $14,000 per year to teach two 40 student classes per semester, 2015-2021 From my limited standpoint, the answer might be: make it harder to get in, admit fewer students, raise the standards of the programs, pay the students who are admitted better.

The absolute bedrock of grad school advice is never to take on debt for your PhD. You’re committing to being underpaid for ~6 years with no guarantee of employment at the other end. Adding debt to that is ruinous.
Student loans are annoying, but part of the PhD stipend conversation can be addressed with a loan. For example, I could see stipends rising by 10k-20k a year if students are willing to end up with PhD student debt. Maybe employer offers could come with paying some of the debt.

I have been sounding this alarm for years Our state parties have been co-opted by idiots. They are costing us races. Idiot state parties have already their idiocy nationwide
The Kansas GOP is truly a pathetic organisation the last time Kansas voted for a Republican governor was 2014, the same year that Illinois, Wisconsin and Michigan last voted for one for goodness sake, Maryland and Massachusetts have had a GOP governor more recently than Kansas

dems wanting to kill a major sector of the economy will eventually be their downfall because you cannot argue affordability and then kill business expansion

Bari Weiss didn't kill 60 Minutes. She saved it.
Ross Douthat asks the President how his net worth rose by nearly $3 billion, according to a Forbes estimate, since he returned to office. Watch the interview Sunday at 7 p.m. ET/PT on 60 Minutes.

Buy the Bo French ticket, take the Bo French ride.
This is how the conservate movement dies and we end up with AOC as President and the end of The US.
