“We must heed the call to be radical and progressive.” When Cornell President Elizabeth Garrett uttered these words in her inauguration speech last Friday, Cornell students and faculty rejoiced and Cornell’s PR machine, including all of its social media accounts and the Cornell Daily Sun, had a field day. But just hours later Garrett spoke to a very different tune at “Democracy & Inequality” panel held in Bailey Hall, an event that closed out the Ithaca campus phase of the inauguration ceremonies. Serving as the moderator for the panel discussion, which featured five Cornell professors, Garret inserted herself into a discussion regarding the Citizens United Supreme Court Case, and said the following: “I think one of the things we have to do is change the way we think about corruption in the legal sense, which is the governmental interest that allows us to regulate speech. Speech can be regulated. Speech has to be regulated in the narrowest possible way to serve a compelling state interest.” A recorded version of the event is viewable here; the remarks quoted above occur starting at the 1:02:40 mark. Unfortunately, none of the supposedly esteemed professors on stage—most of whom would probably self-identify as “radical [...]

Climate Alarmist Caught in 'Largest Science Scandal in U.S. History'

ROSEBURG, OR—In the hours following a violent rampage in southwestern Oregon in which a lone attacker killed 10 individuals and seriously injured seven others, citizens living in the only country where this kind of mass killing routinely occurs reportedly concluded Thursday that there was no way to prevent the massacre from taking place.

OK, watch out! Incoming! I’m going to let them have it, full bore. Having just spent a month in the former Soviet Union, specifically Russia and Ukraine, I’m going to say some things that many Americans won’t want to hear. But these things need to be said. As the old saying goes, truth is the best medicine.

The United States, President Obama said at the U.N. General Assembly last week, “worked with many nations in this assembly to prevent a third world war—by forging alliances with old adversaries.” Presumably, the president was not referring to his deeply flawed Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, the recent agreement that the White House has marketed as the only alternative to war with a soon-to-be-nuclear Iran.

On his increasingly popular radio show yesterday, Mark 'The Great One' Levin had some kind words to say about Ted Cruz. Here's what he said in the last 10 minutes of his show:Ted Cruz is the most consistently conservative candidate running.The conservative talker also blasted Mitch McConnell, the Republican majority leader in the Senate, who recently shut down Ted Cruz when he used his time on the Senate floor to educate voters about the deceptive games McConnell and his ilk play.'Today we have a guy by the name of Mitch McConnell . He's got no class whatsoever. And he gets this really sick joy in trying to control the Senate floor within his own caucus. Harry Reid can do whatever he wants, Chuck Schumer can say and do whatever he wants, and all the rest of that of leftwing cooks can do and say whatever they want. Barack Obama runs circles around Mitch McConnell and Republicans in the Senate. But he literally spends hours organizing the Republican caucus to shut down Ted Cruz. Because for Mitch McConnell it's not about the country, it's not about the Constitution, it's personal.'And Cruz has done more to expose that man and expose the cronyism and corruption of the United States Senate and that process than anybody else in the United States Senate.'And so, Levin explained, McConnell has decided to take Cruz down... or -- if he's unable to -- at least to block each and every single attempt of the senator from Texas to get anything worthwhile done.Levin went on to say that Cruz 'comes under attack' for the simple reason that he's actually a principled conservative.'Kasich won't come under attack, because he's a go-along. Bush won't come under attack, he's a go-along. We don't want a go-along, we need leaders, we need the Churchills and the Thatchers and the Reagans.'And, clearly, the Cruzes of this world.Earlier in the show, Levin also went after Rand Paul, who endorsed McConnell when he was up for reelection and who recently attacked Cruz by saying he was 'done here' -- just because the Texan isn't a 'go along to get along' kind of guy. 'The Great One' has little patience with such talking points pushed by the establishment and rightfully put Rand in his place. He concluded:'I like Ted Cruz a lot.... Ted Cruz is the most conservative candidate running. He's the most consistent conservative candidate running.'He then referred to the rating system at ConservativeReview, a great website of which he recently became editor-in-chief. Cruz's 'Liberty Rating'? 96%. Levin:'It doesn't get much better than that!'Although he stressed that he wasn't endorsing anyone yet, Levin made clear that Cruz is one of the (few) Republicans in the Senate he greatly respects. Quite impressive considering this praise is coming from a guy who used to work for Ronald Reagan and who is now one of the most influential conservative commentators in the nation. Rand and McConnell can put that in their pipes and smoke it.Ted Cruz Gives Epic Speech on Senate Floor Exposing Republican Leadership

Looks like Barack Obama truly has transformed America.Chestnut Place is a condo community of about 60 homeowners in the quiet town of Murray, Utah. Apparently, a couple of members of the homeowners' association got 'tired' of looking at all the American flags being flown by residents so they decided to do something about it.The made a rule banning the flying of the American flag.Fox 13:'After the last board meeting, we were leaving and two members of the board and a resident said they were tired of looking at the flag,' said Jo Ann Dugay, who is one of the five board members on the Home Owners Association. 'They said 'is this flag row?' And that something needed to be done about it.”Something was: last week those living in the community were warned to take down the flags.'I'm not taking it down, that's one thing I won't do.' said Erin Worthen, one of the residents asked to remove it.As a result, she was fined $75 and given a notice, which states:'All exterior decorations must be removed within 10 days following the holiday... Please remove your flag from the common area (Utah Community Association Act. 57-8a-219)'Worthen said she was shocked at the language on the notice.'That is not a holiday decoration,' she points out. 'People have died for that, it is not a holiday decoration.'The President of the Home Owners Association was steadfast in her decision to enforce the fine Thursday. She said she was tired of seeing flags, not just the American flag, flying up and down the street all day and night, and 365 days of the year.'Flags are flown on holiday events,' said Lyn Steinbergen, President of the HOA. 'All we are trying to do is regulate when the flag goes up, and when it comes down.”Homeowners were hoping to address the stipulations at an HOA meeting scheduled for Thursday night, but with the room already full, and the meeting set to take place, board members canceled at the last second.'The board wasn't here tonight,' said a lawyer for the HOA. He says one board member was missing and that's why they canceled the meeting.But home owners felt the HOA was simply skirting the issue.'I have a legal right to fly my American Flag, and there’s not a damn thing you can do about it,” yelled a frustrated Worthen.She said she was fined for the flag as well, and had scheduled to talk about it on the meeting agenda. She believes the board is simply trying to avoid addressing the situation, and believes the HOA President is mostly to blame.'Because she is not getting her way, she's going to shut it down,' Worthen said.The cowardly wretches on the board couldn't face the wrath of the people. Well, the story has gone viral and I will be surprised if they're on that board next week.I don't think they would have gotten away with it anyway. Clearly, flying the flag is political speech and no homeowners' association can restrict the exercise of it. If the homeowners who wanted to fly the flag sued, a judge would have slapped the association down right quick.This is not a 'safety' issue which is what schools claim when they ban the flag. God forbid showing the flag would enrage some Mexicans or Muslims. Their justification for banning the flying of the flag is simply personal pique -- they're 'tired' of seeing a bunch of flags flying all the time.Residents say they will call a special meeting next week to vote out the board members. I suggest they bring a barrel of tar and a few feather pillows with them, as well as a nice long rail so they can ride the flag haters out of town.Detroit Police Chief Credits Armed Homeowners for Reducing Crime
