Vibe Shift: Self-Awareness Triumphs at Columbia

Higher-ed haters (of which, sadly, there are many) would have you believe our elite universities are overrun with self-serious scolds. That students and faculty alike inhabit a cloistered fantasy world, consumed by radical ideologies that preclude them from recognizing how absurd they seem to normal people.

EXPLOSIVE! The Truth About Lindsey Graham's Fatal 'Heart Attack'

No intelligent person believes that Sen. Lindsey Graham (R., S.C.) died of heart failure. Some independent researchers have suggested the Russians had him killed. After all, the senator was just in Ukraine to discuss increased U.S. support for the NATO War of Aggression.

Supremely Progressive: Iran Becomes First Nation in World History Led by Gay Amputee

Credit where credit is due: Iran appears to have scored a remarkable victory for inclusive representation on the global stage. The U.S. intelligence community recently assessed that Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, son of the dearly departed Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, is "probably gay," the New York Post revealed on Monday. The news comes amid reports that "one or two" of the younger Khamenei's legs were amputated after he suffered severe injuries last month in the U.S.-Israeli airstrike that killed his father.

WATCH: Shoddy AI-Generated Campaign Ad Raises Questions About Jasmine Crockett's Competence

Jasmine Crockett is barely trying to win the Democratic primary for U.S. Senate in the state of Texas. No one knows who is managing her campaign. Crockett's opponent, James Talarico—a baby-faced Bible expert who said "God is non-binary"—has spent almost 20 times more on ads. Some of her ads appear to have been created with the help of AI. The most notable thing Crockett has done so far is insinuate that Talarico is racist by amplifying accusations from a TikTok user. Nevertheless, she's probably going to win.
