JOANNE JACOBS: Is talent a myth? Can anyone learn anything? I don’t think so. “Testing may favor children who’ve been exposed to museums and libraries and know that a pig says ‘oink.’ But relying on teacher recommendations is far more biased, as Arnold-Ratliff concedes. Universal testing is the most effective way to get more minority and lower-income students into challenging programs.”
THE 21ST CENTURY RELATIONSHIPS/HIGHER EDUCATION BUBBLE CROSSOVER YOU’VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR: Dating at Princeton: It’s Complicated.
“Princeton Mom” Susan Patton, who got a lot of flak for her 2013 oped offering marital advice to Princeton students, comes in for Strange New Respect. “From what I gathered, the initial response to this op-ed was quite negative. Today it’s more of, she lowkey was right.”
WEAPONIZED JUSTICE:
“If they do this, they might as well rename the damn thing the Anti-MAGA Task Force.” Those words from internal memos shed new light on not just the targeting of parents at school board meetings as possible terrorists, but the legacy of Merrick Garland… https://t.co/GL2SedP9Dk

ANALYSIS: TRUE.
DSA is essentially a wealthy, white, highly educated movement which very carefully selects candidates from their 0.00001% members of color to try and sell the ideas to black and brown people who are historically extremely averse to socialism https://t.co/mtgng1v8ps

Voting by group identity is easily exploited, and exploitation is the name of the Left’s game.
CHANGE: Pizza Hut restaurant chain to be sold for $2.7 billion. “Yum Brands, which also owns KFC and Taco Bell, began to explore its options for Pizza Hut in November. Last year, Yum Brands’ global sales rose 5% but Pizza Hut’s sales fell 2%.”

DISPATCHES FROM THE BLUE ZONES: How Deep Are the Newsoms In It? THIS Deep. “It seems impossible — or just too revolting — to keep up with the financial hanky-panky of California Gov. Gavin Newsom and First Partner (gag) Jennifer Siebel Newsom. But thanks to a couple of investigative reporters with stronger stomachs than I have, let’s see if I can’t put everything you need to know into one easily digestible column.”

OOF: OpenAI’s financials have leaked, showing $21 billion in losses against $13 billion in revenue. “Is there a path to profitability? Maybe. OpenAI’s two biggest expenses are R&D and marketing. Budget cuts there, coupled with an ability to raise prices or win new sources of revenue, could see the company move into the black over time. Cutting R&D would be the most difficult part of that, given that AI companies can only hold onto their customers by generating the best-performing models.”
Switching is easy and cheap for customers, retaining them is difficult — and expensive.

A civilization can survive disagreement.
It cannot survive a ruling class that is more afraid of bad headlines than harmed children.

THE SUPPLY OF WHITE SUPREMACY IS NOWHERE NEAR AS LARGE AS THE DEMAND: Asian Chicago college student admits to burning cross as part of Trump protest. “Lu graduated from Neuqua Valley High School in the wealthy Naperville suburb of Chicago. . . . The hoax occurred just a mile away from where actor Jussie Smollett faked being attacked by Trump supporters in January 2019.”
GOODER AND HARDER, VIRGINIA:

SAY, THAT DOESN’T QUITE JIBE WITH WHAT LEFTIES CLAIM ABOUT EPSTEIN AND TRUMP: Jeffrey Epstein was obsessed with trying to take down Trump before suicide, report says.
Child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein tried to dig up dirt on President Trump in a desperate bid for leniency in the days leading up to his suicide, but was unable to deliver anything of substance, according to a report.
Epstein became fixated on the president after he was arrested in 2019, as his lawyers tried to hammer out a deal with prosecutors if the disgraced financier could provide helpful information about other defendants, according to the New York Times.
During his many marathon meetings with his parade of lawyers while he was locked up in a federal jail in Lower Manhattan, Epstein often had his nose buried in a legal pad scrawling disjointed one-liners about the commander-in-chief, such as “Trump is a total con artist — smoke & mirrors” and “Never had money.”
The deranged scribblings suggest that Epstein had nothing on Trump, who was serving his first term in office at the time.
Now Trump is serving his second term, despite whatever Epstein and his enablers could throw at him.
THAT’S DIFFERENT BECAUSE IT’S RACIST TO MENTION THE PAKISTANI GROOMERS RAPING WHITE GIRLS:

KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEFING: California Gay Business Certification Another Dem Lurch to the Prog Fringe. “Don’t they care about gay business owners who may not be able to provide ‘Proof of domestic partnership health insurance utilization’ or any of the other proof of gayness documents that the Golden State wants before it signs any checks?”
THEN HE FELL IN LOVE WITH THE SOUTH: PJ Media’s Chris Queen — a true Southerner whose book “Neon Crosses” is well-worth your reading if you want an accurate view of Dixie — follows Freddy, the German here with FIFA. Freddy had dinner at Buc’ees at 1 am and fell in love with the joint, and that’s just one of the many discoveries that blow away the warnings he got before coming from the Left about the “dangers” below the Mason-Dixie.
#RESIST:
This morning, I appeared on Good Morning Britain in a live interview about the grooming gangs. Before I went on air, I was told not to mention the race of the perpetrators. I, of course, didn’t listen.
I have now received an apology from the editor.

THIS SHOULD HARDLY BE NECESSARY, YET HERE WE ARE: Daughters of the American Revolution to Vote on Definition of ‘Woman’ Amid Criticism of Transgender Policy.
The Daughters of the American Revolution currently allows men who identify as women to join, but the group will vote on a resolution to reverse that policy and formally define “woman,” the Daily Signal has learned.
“Members of the Daughters of the American Revolution will take an historic vote to define the word ‘woman’ on Friday, June 26, 2026, at Memorial Continental Hall in Washington, D.C.,” Laura McDonald, founder and president of Daughters Advocating for Restoration and a member of Daughters of the American Revolution since 2018, told the Daily Signal.
“Daughters all across the country have relentlessly pursued all avenues and have succeeded in their demand for this historic vote,” she added.
The resolution, provided to the Daily Signal, argues that the bylaws, which state that eligibility only applies to women, “should be interpreted in accordance with the intention of the society at the time the bylaw was adopted.” There is no question that DAR’s founders in 1890 did not envision men identifying as women as eligible for membership.
Well, good.
