Black (down to 63% support of Biden), Hispanic (prefers Trump 39% to 34%), young abandon Joe. But the real story is young people. Young (under 35) voters threw heavy support to Biden in 2020, 65% to 32%. Now they back Trump, 37% to 33%.

I like peaty Scotches. If it doesn’t taste like an ashtray, it’s not real Scotch… 😉
I like the old standards like Laphroaig, Lagavulin, Talisker, Ardbeg. BenRiach is my new flavorite. I was an Oban fan for a while. Haven’t had Port Charlotte or Compass Box.

And in a (somewhat) anti-woke movement, MGM’s acclaimed new movie American Fiction tells story of African-American writer who jokingly pens book filled with black stereotypes that’s lauded by powerful white liberals:

A generation ago, the term was political correctness instead of woke, or as George Carlin put it, politically correct was America’s new form of intolerance especially pernicious becomes it comes disguised as tolerance. Political correctness is Fascism pretending to be manners. Joseph Stalin popularized the term “politically correct” incidentally.

I recall the discussion around Marc Tessier-Levigne and remaining in place at Stanford…that he had to be absolutely above reproach.
Here’s more evidence of plagiarism by Dr. Gay.
Harvard Finds More Instances of ‘Duplicative Language’ in President’s Work
Noted lefty Jake Tapper questioning the double standard:
And now, we’re finally getting serious: the House Education Committee will expand its investigation into Dr. Gay. Formerly, it was on the genocide calls for Jewish people, and whether it would be considered harassment. Now, it is including the plagiarism scandal, specifically as to whether Hahvahd has a different standard for faculty as it does for students:

Good article by Peggy Noonan on the degradation of American universities and their migration from being centers of scholastic excellence to institutions pushing political agendas centered around dogmatic ideology and social engineering rather than academic merit.
Covers all the bases…diversity shortcomings, safe spaces, trigger warnings, microaggressions, speech codes, partisanship, silence of the sane Left, sacrifice of the scholar to political fashion, etc.

Cornel West says he won’t be running against Biden, he will run “against the Democrats’ B Team” referring to either Gavin Newsom or Gretchen Whitmer. If they’re the B team, West is…somewhere in the lower half of the alphabet.
West decisively launched his candidacy with the People’s Party, then decisively switched to the Green Party, then decisively switched to an Independent bid. Model of stability, he.

On the other hand, this Forbes article claims Biden would defeat Trump, particularly if Trump is convicted on one or more of the 91 criminal charges in the four trials. The poll shows Trump with a 2% national lead over Biden, but with 26% of voters saying they weren’t sure of the best candidate.
The Reuters poll (4,411 adults nationwide, 2% margin of error) claims Biden has a 4 point lead collectively in the same 7 states that the Bloomberg poll claims Trump has a significant lead.
If RFK Jr. enters the race as a third party, Trump’s lead would widen.
