I stated this in a previous post and will state it again: NO college ANYWHERE should be the recipient of federal funds. Zero, zip, nada. If these colleges cannot figure out how to be profitable without being subsidized, let them go out of business.

In re that news headline "FBI seeks motive, " I have a different take from yours. I think you got crossed up in your : "doubt Kash Patel’s FBI is actually this clueless, but our media certainly isn’t:" To me, that headline, along with the babbling of DC & Justice dept officials at the podium, shows that regardless of Who may privately think like an adult who understands the logical power of evidence and inference, we, the entire USA, have fir over 20 years fallen under the spell of mind- stunting, kindergarten-teacher, psychofeminism-inspired babble !!!! So... somewhere inside Patels Dept there may be some clear evidentiary/inferential thinking, but all public utterances must be feminist- kindergarten jargon. Thus, we'll never know. Makes it difficult for the adults.

I posted this on X, not that anyone will see it:

For all those of us distraught by the brutal murders at the Jewish museum:

1. This was a public gathering at an openly Jewish event, with members of the Israeli Embassy staff present.

2. There was security present. In fact, it's reported that a "security person" let the shooter in to the event.

3. The shooter lingered after the shooting, apparently pretending to be a "witness".

Given the above, I haven't seen anyone asking the question: How was this allowed to happen, given an ongoing war in Gaza; given semi-violent demonstrations around the U.S. against Israelis and Jews?

Someone at the Israeli Embassy should answer, I think, for the appalling deficiencies in security.

Not only should the Justice Department seek the death penalty, but they should put his execution by firing square on pay per view to raise money for the families of victims of Hamas and Palenstinian violence against Israelis and Jews. I'll pony up.

The whole idea of the District of Columbia is to carve out a federal enclave unbeholden to any state. There should be no separate DC city government at all, on principle.
