quote, significant penalties on people who post hate speech on the net.

He had fond memories of the cross, as he called it, and admired the discipline the Jesuit educators imposed. Today, the college located in Worcester, Massachusetts, is a far different place, a school, that embraces a militant form of political correctness that affects every student on campus. On November 18th, author Heather MacDonald was invited by the school newspaper to speak. Ms. McDonald is the author of the book, The Diversity Delusion, How Race and Gender Pandering, corrupt the university and undermine our culture. Well, with a title like that, The Snowflakes on Campus, were immediately outraged. As is now customary, some far left folks try to shout down Ms. McDonald,

screaming, quote, my oppression is not a delusion. The students eventually left the lecture hall and Ms. McDonnell lamented that she couldn't talk with them as the protest was all about yelling. The author opine that she really wanted to hear all about the oppression at Holy Cross, where tuition-paying students fork over about $50,000 for the school year plus room and board. Now, you might expect the leadership at Holy Cross to discourage assaults on speech, but the dean of students, Michelle Murray, said this to the Wall Street Journal, quote, The subtext of her talk was that discrimination no longer exists, or at least that we should not be bothered.

by it. I would suggest to Ms. McDonnell that the students who disrupted her speech for all of three minutes were not afraid of her, unquote. Nice. Let's enable a shout-down students, right, Dean Murray? But things are far worse at the University of California, Chico. There, the Faculty Association, put out a statement that reads, quote, displaying banners and signs supporting the re-election of the sitting president can be experienced as an act of racist provocation. Unquote. So these faculty members, paid by the California taxpayer, have suspended the constitutional rights of students who might support President Trump. The faculty is publicly saying that such support is racist and therefore should not be tolerated. This is fascism, pure and simple. Stalin would love

this. Unlike the Vietnam era, where the media heavily covered college dissent, you don't see much reportage about the growing totalitarianism on many college campuses, because the constitutional implications are nasty. The truth is that this intolerant trend is a danger to America, which used to defend and even honor opposing points of view. No longer. Now the Maoists are out in force trying to suppress anyone with whom they disagree. And many deans and teachers are right there with them, cheering on the un-American tactics.

update brings you something you might not know. Legendary performer Wayne Newton is world renowned for his iconic voice, feathered hair, and a Vegas career dating back more than six decades. But many forget, 33 years ago today, Wayne Newton won a $20 million landmark lawsuit against NBC News. A jury sided with the singer after the network defamed him in a series of broadcast that connected Wayne with organized crime. The name of the report, Wayne Newton and the mob. Central to the case was whether the media has any limit on freedom of the press

versus the rights of the individual, regardless of celebrity status. In the end, NBC News lost the lawsuit because jurors found sufficient evidence that top executives knew the reports were false, but aired them anyway, to injure Wayne Newton's reputation. A federal appeals court would later reverse some aspects of the decision, insisting NBC did not act deliberately or recklessly. But the issue is as relevant today as it was back in 1986. What is the responsibility of a free press towards its citizens, particularly celebrities and politicians? Example, Donald Trump. Never before in American history has a person been so vilified by the media. In July 2018, the New York Times published an article entitled Trump, treasonous traitor, claiming the president was committing unforgivable crimes by colluding with Russia.

Of course, the story was completely false, but no apology or retraction was ever issued by the Times, which despises Donald Trump. This week, Mike Bloomberg spent millions on a Facebook ad claiming, 21 kids are shot every day because of Trump. It's just the latest exercise in Trump bashing. Yes, it's true. Many Americans don't like the president, but the media is downright persecuting him. Are they not? President Trump has teased the idea of strengthening America's libel laws, saying the current system allows reporters to, quote, say things that are false and smile as the money pours into their bank accounts. Wayne Newton is a guy that might agree with that. Back after this. Do you have trouble falling asleep or staying asleep when it's time to go to bed are racing thoughts keeping you awake?
