"Any university leader who signs on to this compact would betray everything good and solid about the university and would do deep and permanent harm to the United States and the world. "

Imagine running a marathon in a war zone.

Brilliant!

One thing that's probably important to add about Trump's address in Norfolk is the following quote. I do appreciate that the sailors immediately stopped clapping when he said it. bsky.app/profile/atru...

"Have You Ever Seen the Rain" - CCR
"It Never Rains in Southern California" - Albert Hammond
"Rainy Days and Mondays" - Carpenters
"Here Comes the Rain Again" - Eurythmics
"A Hard Rain's Gonna Fall" - Dylan

Fun Post! Those were the (Bo) days in A2! Was there '84-'86 and one of those years I think they were 6-6 and everyone thought the world was going to end. I was excited as my undergrad teams were something like a combined 6-34 :-) Hope you're enjoying being back - The law school is gorgeous.

You mean by having an educated populace? An independent press that isn't owned by oligarchs? Sigh. We voted in someone who tried to overthrow the government and cheered on death threats to his Vice President. How do we prevent that in a democracy?

I know at UVa, the Board of Visitors is appointed by the Governor (Youngkin), so there's a very conservative bunch in their leadership at the moment and with elections coming next month, they seem to be seizing the opportunity while they can. It won't go over well with most students and faculty.

I'm looking forward to your insights on the administration's recent "overture" to the 9 universities. Jefferson must be rolling in his grave over the suspension of our inalienable rights.

Past tense at this point, of course. Two additional questions after naming the pedophiles, who has the videos and who stands to profit from them by controlling so many in our government?

Between this meeting and the shutdown, we are once again, farther from the promise of our Constitution. Thank you for providing another historical record for these extraordinary times.

Who has watched the 24 hour live stream so far that the house Dems are doing on the shutdown?????

This should be the biggest story right now and literally 45 people are watching

Mike Johnson continues to refuse to swear in a Democrat who won in a landslide.

Why can’t all of the Democrats be posting social media like this?? Thank you Representative Sarah McBride, the escalator shoutout was top tier 🤌

This is Trump’s Government Shutdown.

Since it is the end of the month and I have a few articles to gift, this is a very worthwhile interview to listen to and contemplate.

Absolutely not. And there was a bit of TIC there.

Certainly is starting to feel like Epstein is going to be a common denominator to the group of men responsible for this chaos and destruction of democracy. They would do better to confess and relieve themselves of the guilt that is burdening them and making us all miserable.

We don't want the Amelia Earhart files, MLK files, Kennedy files, and UFO files released. There's only one set of files that matter - and that's the Epstein Files. Surely someone can find a way to get that out. Where's this generation's Deep Throat?

Getting closer to his "Let them eat cake" moment all the time.

Government shutdown and recalling military leadership in the same week seems pretty ominous, especially as Putin is testing defense lines.

If his lips are moving and all... but still, an interesting change of message. Why and why now? Just another confuse a cat move or something more? It's not like he was holding anything back at the UN. Oh well, in the meantime, release the files!
