This week: days from the Democrat apocalypse, racism in higher-education admissions under SCOTUS scrutiny, no one wants to serve at sea in the Navy, fanatics at the American Historical Association, the ebb of patriotism, finite and infinite games, flying the F-117 at war, good night from Soviet television. Let’s go —
1) “In doubling down on abortion, tax redistribution for student loan forgiveness and electric vehicles and an ultra-progressive race and gender educational agenda, Democratic talking points are music to the ears of these suburban white women voters. They are the sort who spend upwards of $2,500 to hire Saira Rao, a leftist activist and failed congressional candidate, to host dinners where they learn to accept and admit how racist they are over vegan hors d’oeuvres and white wine.”

2) “If Wisconsin is one of the nation’s premier political battlegrounds, Sauk County is the battleground within the battleground, where the party lean is unpredictable and elections swing by hair’s-width margins.”
3) “Christine Drazan—a pro-life, pro-gun rights Republican best known for fighting a state climate-change bill—is in a dead heat to become the next governor of Oregon. I repeat: Oregon.”
4) “The Department of Homeland Security is quietly broadening its efforts to curb speech it considers dangerous, an investigation by The Intercept has found. Years of internal DHS memos, emails, and documents — obtained via leaks and an ongoing lawsuit, as well as public documents — illustrate an expansive effort by the agency to influence tech platforms.”
