“Your social systems have to be large enough so they protect you but small enough that you have a place in them.” Professor Peterson on globalism:

The eruption of mob violence and ideological bullying and hooliganism on the Evergreen College campus near Washington State’s capitol is now under review. The man who unknowingly “started” it all by resisting a weirdly racist and segregationist demand from the “equity movement” students and faculty here summarizes the highlights:

Here is the full hearing:

At another hearing on the matter, a rather awkward moment was reached when the interrogations got to security. This is a highly slanted editorial video with animation, comedy and satire thrown in, and may be NSFW. Still…

Tucker Carlson doesn’t like being called a Hitler sympathizer for showing some skepticism about neoconservative plans to engage with bad guys everywhere while demonizing Russia. Make no bones about it!

The humorists over at Reason TV look at bad foreign and domestic policy without jesting using the argumentum ad Hitlerum. They go all the way to referencing House Lannister! (NSFW)

The congressman with two first names also has two faces. In today’s video, Congressman Markwayne Mullin and his wife, Christie, announce that he will break his promise to step down from Congress after three terms, which he repeatedly made to voters in order to win the seat in 2012.

The message of the video, a fake news interview produced by Congressman Mullin, seems to be that Markwayne’s pledge to serve only six years was because he might not like the gig. If he now feels like staying in the congressional job, then his past promise to leave doesn’t count. After all, he says he’s “grown.”

“The last thing we want is to make people think we’re going back on our word,” a reality-resistant Mullin told the Tulsa World. “At the time, we were sincere. But where we’re at today is a different situation.”

The ongoing ObamaCare Repeal fiasco, Dr. Rand Paul explaining:

A slightly different take on the subject … than usual:

An outpouring of grassroots, bipartisan opposition to a pending recommendation by the Ohio Constitutional Modernization Commission caused the commission to table that proposed recommendation concerning citizen-initiated ballot measures — in what may be the last meeting of the commission.

The recommendation would have created numerous double standards between constitutional amendments proposed by citizens and those proposed by legislators — all advantaging legislators and disadvantaging citizens. The most outrageous provision would have required citizen-initiated amendments to pass with a supermajority of at least 55 percent, while the very same amendment proposed by the legislature would only need 50 percent plus one for passage.

The full hearing can be viewed here. A synopsized version, here:

After Paul Jacob, president of Citizens in Charge, testified, a motion was made to table the recommendation. That motion passed with only a single dissenting vote, effectively ending the threat to the initiative rights of Ohioans.

Here are the citizen leaders and groups that came to Columbus to testify:

Jack Boyle — a citizen leader in Solon, Ohio

Dane Waters — chairman of the Initiative & Referendum Institute at the University of Southern California

Ron Alban — a citizen leader in Kettering, Ohio

Corey Roscoe — the Ohio state director of the Humane Society of the U.S.

Robert Ryan — a Blue Ash, Ohio, councilman and head of the Ohio Patient Network, a medical marijuana advocacy group

John Adams — former State Representative
“My past service in the legislature has taught me many things – one of those would be not to trust and definitely to verify.”

Greg Pace — co-founder of Columbus Community Bill of Rights

Look deeply into a funny movie for an important lesson in political philosophy and social ethics:

A few days ago Chelsea Clinton, daughter of failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, proclaimed some trendy wisdom. About “interconnectedness.” How she missed “systemic” we are not sure.

Professor Gad Saad is not impressed.

Rush Limbaugh compares Ms. Clinton to a very different professor.
