WHEN REALITY BITES ANTHONY FAUCI: He took the Fifth 119 times in response to questions a Senate panel about statements and actions he took from 2014 to January 2025, a period covered by the presidential pardon Anthony Fauci got from Joe Biden. But Fauci’s evasions, misrepresentations and outright lies are catching up with him, as I report on PJ Media, and that presidential pardon won’t help him if and when Florida’s Attorney General hauls Fauci into state court.

HERE’S THE REAL REASON DEMS LOVE OBAMACARE SUBSIDIES: It’s called campaign cash and its worth hundreds of millions of dollars in contributions to Democrats in Congress by the biggest health insurance companies.

As I explain today on Substack, those subsidies, by the way, generated $27 billion in federal tax dollars going to those same companies who in turn wrote beacoup checks to their Democratic friends. Let’s see now, does such an arrangement qualify as a conflict-of-interest, a con game, or just pure political corruption?

You haven’t heard a word about this from the Mainstream Media, but, boy, are we all going to hear from now till Election day in November about how terrible are President Donald Trump and (all but four) Senate Republicans because they allowed the temporary Obamacare insurance subsidies to expire as scheduled on the last day of December 2025.

BRENDAN O’NEILL: We should call the Ceuta border breach an invasion.

Spain was invaded yesterday. There is no other way to put it. Close to 50,000 foreigners, mostly men, swarmed into Spanish territory and laughed and jeered as they went. Every generation before ours would have called that an invasion, and we should too. The era of euphemism is over. The left’s house of lies has fallen. We can all now see with our own eyes that our nations are being overwhelmed by cocky, often hostile men from afar.

It isn’t only Spain’s sovereign integrity that lies in tatters following the storming of Ceuta – so does the tyranny of euphemism we’ve all been forced to labor under these past few years

The footage from Ceuta is extraordinary – throngs of foreigners, mostly men from Morocco, gatecrashed an enclave of the Spanish kingdom. They scaled fences, kicked down gates, colonized the beach. Some punched the air with glee, clearly delighted with their successful storming of Spanish territory. I dare the left to call this “asylum seeking.”

It isn’t only Spain’s sovereign integrity that lies in tatters following the storming of Ceuta – so does the tyranny of euphemism we’ve all been forced to labor under these past few years. Europe’s rulers have more keenly policed our language than the borders. They savaged every right-winger who used words like “invasion” or “colonization” to describe illegal immigration. Such patrician censure is surely untenable in the wake of Ceuta.

Elon Musk sounded remarkably prescient in his recent interview with a robotic Zanny Minton Beddoes of the Economist:

MORE FROM THE INDISPENSABLE CITY JOURNAL: “Students Need Consequences, Not “Restorative Justice.” And when one student is allowed to disrupt class, the other students can’t learn either.

For decades, federal bureaucrats have been telling school districts that “disparate impact” in school discipline is a violation of the regulations promulgated under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.  Translation:  Even though low-income African American students disrupt class at greater rates than low-income Asian or white students, these bureaucrats insist that their regulations prohibit schools from suspending them from class at that greater rate.  The “solution” has been a general relaxation of discipline and more chaotic classrooms (along with a bit of punishing Asian and white students for behavior that would not be punished for African American students).

The Trump Administration is making some progress toward getting the federal government off the backs of the local districts on this issue of school discipline.  But more progress is necessary.  As Alison Somin and I have argued, Department of Education bureaucrats are interpreting those regulations incorrectly.  Moreover,  if one assumes that they are right about the interpretation,  that only means the regulations go far beyond the Title VI rule making power given to executive branch by Congress.  Repealing or amending those rules is necessary to prevent future left-of-center Presidents from re-starting the pressure on school districts.

And, of course, once we get the federal government off the backs of school districts, then the hard work continues:  The school districts themselves need to understand that their approach to discipline has only made things worse for students of all races and ethnicities.
