Hugh Hewitt and Jean Case on 5 Principles for a Life of Breakthroughs and Purpose

Americans already suspect that higher education is a politicized grift. And Jason Arday’s story won’t convince them otherwise.

Arday was celebrated as the youngest black person ever appointed to a professorship at Cambridge — despite a history of fabulism that defies belief. He’s claimed to have been nonverbal until age 11; unable to read until 18; to have run 600 miles in 65 days; raised more than $7 million for charity; survived a coma; and beaten cancer.

Neither Cambridge nor Simon & Schuster, publisher of his autobiography, apparently thought to verify his claims. He’s resigned after a plagiarism scandal and a pending investigation about his academic qualifications and honorary appointments.

Here’s the lesson: Rather than making academia more inclusive and equitable, DEI has exposed just how corrupt the whole enterprise has become.

Carol Platt Liebau: Corruption Exposed at Cambridge

Representative Alexandria Ocasio Cortez recently told a credulous Jonathan Karl of ABC that “Woke 1.0 was crazy,” when asked about certain Democratic Socialists of America candidate positions from the recent past.  She then went on to state “[D]uring Covid, there was a huge opening of the Overton Window. We were shut down….I think that during lockdown…rhetoric in that time is not rhetoric that we would use today.”

It didn’t occur to Karl to ask what Covid had to do with nostrums like abolishing the police, men could be women, Thanksgiving should be cancelled, riots (if from the left) were peaceful.  Of course, the answer is: Nothing.  And if Woke 1.0 is now passe, why? And is it better than Woke 2.0, which now includes defending and marching for terrorist organizations, including the day after they slaughtered hundreds of innocents, including dozens of Americans?

AOC is a member of the DSA. Their party has a number Marxist caucuses today. If Woke 1.0 is outdated, beware of Woke 2.0.

It’s better labeled Marxist-Islamism.

Abdul El-Sayed won Michigan's recent primary for the United States Senate seat that is open in Michigan. He's the most radical Democratic nominee for the Senate since the Civil War. He'll face GOP congressmen and army veteran, FBI, special agent as well, Mike Rogers in the fall.

El-Sayed campaigns with an Islamist supporting extremist by the name of Hasan Piker, who's also a racist and a misogynist.

That El-Sayed hates the state of Israel is not open for debate. He does.

Most Jews and many non-Jews believe that El-Sayed is antisemitic to the core.

Rogers v. El-Sayed is the most important race of 2026.

Michigan's collective common sense will be tested over the next three months.

Will they vote for an experienced, responsible, serious legislator who understands the world and America's role in it and support Mike Rogers?

Or will they vote for the radical who cares for “from the river to the sea” more than he does the national security of the United States?  

My money is on Mike Rogers.
