Musings is Fun & Politics — Tech is just Tech 
K–5 charter schools sound harmless until you see a mother choose a school that advertises her six‑year‑old will be raised with “social justice first” instead of reading, writing, and arithmetic. When that same mother is anti‑ICE “warrior” Renee Nicole Good, shot dead in a street confrontation with a federal agent, the lesson plan stops being theoretical and starts colliding with the law.
Legacy media elites think you’re a “village idiot” — and this week they went ahead and said it out loud. CBS’s new Evening News anchor Tony Dokoupil posted a video promising to stop leaning on “advocates” and “academics or elites” and instead put the average American at the center of the broadcast, and the very people he was talking about instantly proved his point.
Bari Weiss CBS wasn’t supposed to matter this fast—but within weeks of taking over as editor-in-chief, the new boss yanked a 60 Minutes Trump deportation hit piece just hours before airtime and sent a shockwave through legacy media.
A segment built around sympathetic Venezuelan deportees inside El Salvador’s notorious CECOT mega-prison went from heavily promoted to “postponed” after Weiss ordered more reporting, more on-the-record Trump administration voices, and tougher scrutiny of a narrative that had all the fingerprints of activist television, not journalism.
President ‘Toast’ headlines the latest implosion in MAGA-land, as Trump demands blind loyalty from all—even when he’s wrong, lying, or caught flip-flopping on core promises. MTG, much like Jennifer Lopez’s iconic character in “Enough,” has declared she won’t stand for it anymore, exposing Trump’s true colors right when cracks in his party can least be hidden.
Bottom Line Up Front: In a pre-shooting note, assassin Tyler Robinson scrawled: “Some hatred cannot be negotiated with.” That phrase — echoed in his texts and in FBI briefings — became the stated rationale for targeting Charlie Kirk over blunt anti-affirmative-action and anti-DEI critiques. Reporting since the killing has been chaotic: outlets recycle decontextualized clips and social-media snippets; at the same time, pro-Kirk networks compile doxx lists and push to get critics fired.
The Democratic Party limits black Americans to a narrow definition of success – either through affirmative action credentials or sports achievements. Aren’t black Americans equal and free to stand on their own merit without government programs propping up select individuals? What about everyone else who doesn’t get that assistance? Was the racist affirmative action Kirk’s target instead of him being the racist?
