TEMPERAMENT.

“Don’t pour a pot of boiling potatoes on your spouse’s head” is a single sex neutral standard of conduct that virtually all seekers of high office of both sexes manage to meet, and that no man would be able to continue running for governor having failed to meet https://t.co/jvtKCWkrFL

Anatoli Vyatkin and Wolf Offen have graduated from college into a major economic slump, and no job offers at all.

THEY DON’T DO GRADUATION ADDRESSES LIKE THIS NOW: Every Tuesday on HillFaith there appears a featured post entitled “FAITH OF THE FOUNDERS” that provides readers with a quote illustrating the deep influence on that remarkable generation.

Today’s installment is a passage from the address by then-Columbia University President William Samuel Johnson to the first graduating class after the American Revolution’s successful conclusion. Johnson was a delegate to the Constitutional Convention and was subsequently elected to the Senate. His father had previously served as Columbia’s first president.

The contrast between his deeply faith-informed address and the typical Critical Race Theory-based orations heard on today’s campuses points to the vast distance our nation has travelled in the wrong direction.

HOW IT STARTED:

HOW IT’S GOING:

I’m all for free speech an all, but I have zero sympathy for a group that calls for their university to go after a student group, and then gets mad when the university goes after them instead. Just desserts, it seems to me.
