It’s staggering the number of people I know who absolutely cannot stand Trump but feel their hands have been forced to vote for him because Biden is a bumbling invalid and the Democrats running Washington are far-left lunatics.
This has to be 25% of Trump’s voters.

You might wonder why you should care about what happens at one school. Well, they want it to - in their own words in a CBS interview! - serve as a "model" for how schools conduct investigations in the future.
This isn't about Greek life. It's about administrators.

Some admins genuinely believe they're allowed to break the law and their own administrative rules to achieve ideological ends (be honest: they hate traditional organizations like Greek groups).
It's not about fraternities and sororities. They can do this to anyone.

In Maryland, students are fighting back. But the power imbalance is so real and so terrifying, it takes real courage to do so. UMD's students should be heralded as leaders for standing up for student civil rights.
Will others do the same?

The school broke its own administrative procedures and the law. It's pretty indisputable. Now, a judge is involved, as lawsuits have been filed. A temporary restraining order was initially filed, and the school relented. But, the lawsuits for civil rights violations remain.

The following day, administrators announced a total ban on Greek life. They issued a "NO CONTACT" (in caps) order, forbidding thousands of students from even speaking to each other, including biological siblings, roommates, classmates, group project members, etc.

This Nazi/Soviet style "snitching" was a REQUIREMENT. Admins told the assembled students that a failure to be fully honest about their or other students' organizations could endanger their professional or grad school aspirations. They said they had done it to students before.

I just read two amazing statistics about how generous Americans are:
1) We give $500 billion annually to charity.
2) We perform 4.1 billion hours in service to others.
We're a good and worthy country. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

If the new "model" is empowering admins to suspend civil rights of students without cause, without charges, without following the law, how vulnerable are students who are in their crosshairs? Especially if these students are opposed to their preferred groups?

When the students requested they have attorneys represent them since they were being interrogated by lawyers, the school refused. They were allowed a "support person" to listen in, but this person could not interject or otherwise advocate for the student.

Meanwhile, UMD contracted an outside law firm to begin an investigation of all Greek life. They brought in hundreds of students, including teenage pledges, to be interrogated by lawyers. Students were not accused of any crimes and were not told of any charges against them.

Students could not refuse to participate. Some parents intervened, saying they would direct their children to decline. They were informed by the school that it was required, and a failure to comply would result in disciplinary action. Again, no one had been accused of anything.

Senior administrators gathered leaders from all the fraternities and sororities (historically black organizations were exempted) in a room and gave them sticky notes. They told them to write down any rumors they had heard about OTHER fraternities and sororities.

Bans and investigations lasted 15 days, affecting thousands of individuals (16% of all UMD students). Unaware of their own rights, these students were subjected to an unprecedented infringement of their rights on a global scale - privacy, due process, free speech/association.

Investigators asked intrusive and inappropriate questions on everything ranging from absurd rumors to confidential organizational rituals. They also demanded some students turn over their cell phones (!!) so they could look at texts, photos and calendars.

When students objected to sharing the contents of their private cell phones, investigators said they'd be marked as non-compliant, which could result in disciplinary action. When one sorority president resisted, she was accused of "covering" for fraternities with her refusal.

Eventually, the school lifted the orders against nearly all fraternities and sororities. A handful of investigations remain ongoing (the most long-lasting actions were taken against an organization whose charges were known long before the dragnet investigation took place).

They also announced that all Greek life social activities were canceled. They eventually said that philanthropic activities could continue, but because some were public-facing events with alcohol, groups began to cancel them, leaving charitable partners without needed funds.

Milei is an interesting combination of a total disregard for what other people think of him and a deep commitment to an actual political/economic philosophy. Both of these seem absent in American politics these days, irrespective of party.

The allegations were sensational, and frankly, unbelievable - requiring pledges to lay on a bed of nails or drink urine. Horrifying, if true. But pretty unlikely, so no students took the rumor mill seriously. But the University of Maryland did.

In February, administrators received an anonymous "tip" about hazing and alcohol issues in fraternities and sororities at UMD. Prior to that, students had alerted administrators that a "rumor mill" in Greek life was going crazy as organizations competed for recruits.

What blows my mind is the repeated implication that Republican lawmakers/judges have no personal political philosophy or principled ideologies, so everything they do must be to serve the interest of some sinister outside force.
New: Greg Abbott has campaigned against members of his own party who do not support voucher programs. This fall, he may finally get the votes needed to pass a bill -- a win for the Christian conservative donors who have spent decades lobbying for it.

We’re in a sad era where it’s impossible for your ideological opponents to have views you simply disagree with. It has to be that they’re corrupt, they’re pretending, they’re hypocrites.
It just feels like people aren’t smart enough to tolerate intellectual rigor anymore. 🫢

This is why this fight is so important. Western ideals aren't about geography or demography. It's respect for the inherent rights of the individual. Israel is the West. What happens to them matters. And what happens to Jews in America matters - for their sake and for everyone's.

No Mark Knopfler, JJ Cale , Leo Kottke or John Mayer?
Agree with SRV (should be higher), Jimi (probably too high though), Clapton (not high enough), Buddy Guy and Santana (not high enough)…
Jimmy Page is MUCH too high. Some of these I’m convinced they don’t really listen to.

Since Trump took office, Democrats have been trying to paint the court as corrupt and illegitimate. It’s simply not possible, they insist, for people to be motivated by their own judicial philosophies. They simply must be bought.
And the media have eaten it up.
A solid majority of Americans say Supreme Court justices are more likely to be guided by their own ideology rather than serving as neutral arbiters of government authority, a new poll finds:

Perhaps an enterprising reporter should look into these groups funding anti-alcohol research and find out how they're benefitting from the "sobriety trend." I'm not a big drinker, but the way this fad has swept non-alcoholics is truly remarkable There's a reason it's happening.

There are very few independent pharmacies left in America, especially in towns like Jeanerette that have experienced a lot of the pains of a changing America - crime, drugs, poverty. But there are still hardworking, entrepreneurial people there who have kept it alive.
