Is this going to be yet another one of those signal crimes that all the polite liberals will pretend to never have heard about? The longer NPR goes without figuring out a way to blame it all on Trump, one suspects it might be.

Suppose people who no longer can drive but who don’t want to leave their hometowns had a less costly way of bypassing the one overpriced grocer? What’s in the way of Wisconsin permitting that? badgerinstitute.org/robocars-vs-ov…

St. Vincent of Lérins: “What then will a Catholic Christian do… if some novel contagion seek to infect not merely an insignificant portion of the Church, but the whole? Then it will be his care to cleave to antiquity, which at this day cannot possibly be seduced by any fraud of…

If you need a reminder why it’s so critical to vigorously defend free speech, look no further than “western” countries like Australia (or the U.K.). Check out this piece highlighted by @k_mahlburg. Dr. Jereth Kok is losing his medical license for posting conservative content.

Fully 61% of Wisconsin registered voters polled by Marquette last month have an unfavorable view of the Democratic Party. That’s 10 points worse than Republicans and 14 higher than @GovEvers -- who just threw in the towel. badgerinstitute.org/tony-evers-and…

So in the last two days, the Palestinian propaganda machine has stolen a picture from a neonatal Facebook page and used a child with a muscular disorder (whose family are all well fed) as their proof of a “starvation campaign.” Does no one in the press find that telling?

Islamic State-backed rebels attacked a Catholic church in eastern Congo on Sunday, killing at least 34 people, the Associated Press reported citing a local civil society leader.

Wisconsin's public school districts got $18,592 of revenue per pupil in the most recent state figures. It's an all-time high, even after you account for inflation. And it's more than double what they got in 2000. badgerinstitute.org/numbers/wiscon…

Slavery was standard practice throughout Earth until it was almost entirely ended principally by Anglo-American forces in the 19th and 20th centuries. Slavery still exists in some parts of the world btw. I’m not suggesting Britain was purely angelic, but, nonetheless, this is…

1-2 million white Euros were sold to Muslim and black masters during the Old Wars era - via the Barbary Trade, etc - and ~no one ever discusses this.
