\n Foreign desk: Butt Out, UN!<\/strong><\/p>\n

On Twitter<\/a>, former US Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley blasts the UN Human Rights Council for wading into America\u2019s racial tensions. On Monday, the council announced an \u201curgent\u201d debate on \u201cracially inspired human-rights violations, systemic racism, police brutality and the violence against peaceful protests\u201d in the United States. While \u201cAmerica is not perfect,\u201d Haley notes, the UN mandarins refuse \u201cto debate concentration camps in China, political murders in Cuba, torture in Syria, state-imposed starvation in North Korea and slavery in parts of Africa.\u201d She might have in mind, perhaps, the more than 1 million Muslims the Beijing regime keeps in Orwellian \u201cre-education camps.\u201d Or the North African nation of Mauritania, where rights groups say up to a fifth of the population remains enslaved. Add the mass-killing horrors of Syria and North Korea, and the UN debate on US policing is, as Haley suggests, \u201ca farce.\u201d<\/p>\n

Campus watch: #DefundCollege<\/strong><\/p>\n

While 49 percent of blacks oppose the \u201cidiotic\u201d idea of defunding police, observes Tablet\u2019s Liel Leibovitz, 43 percent of Americans with a post-graduate degree back it. His idea? \u201cDefund the deans\u201d at colleges. Employers should \u201cstop hiring college grads.\u201d The college experience, after all, may explain Urooj Rahman and Colinford Mattis\u2019 \u201csenseless\u201d decision to risk their achievements as lawyers throw Molotov cocktails at a police car in Brooklyn. And why reporters at The New York Times have led it to abandon \u201call traditional tenets of journalism.\u201d Companies should hire \u201cactual hardworking Americans\u201d \u2014 \u201chigh-school graduates\u201d interested in helping people connect respectfully. The path to national healing lies in hiring \u201conly those Americans who did not waste their time and money learning the art of resentment in college.\u201d<\/p>\n

Legal beat: So Much for \u2018But Gorsuch\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ironically, notes The Washington Post\u2019s Henry Olsen, President Trump\u2019s promise to pick a pro-conservative Supreme Court justice, so vital to his 2016 election victory, may have now triggered \u201cthe unraveling\u201d of his coalition. Religious voters, including some Democrats, \u201cclearly expected\u201d Trump\u2019s high-court picks to oppose a progressive \u201ccultural agenda,\u201d but Justice Neil Gorsuch on Monday found that \u201cthe Civil Rights Act of 1964 forbids employment discrimination against LGBTQ Americans\u201d \u2014 rendering him \u201cuntrustworthy\u201d in the eyes of these voters. Even \u201ca small reduction\u201d in Republicans\u2019 \u201cmargin among the devout\u201d could \u201cdestroy\u201d Trump\u2019s re-election chances. The president now will need to \u201cspend more time shoring up his support among religious voters,\u201d yet even that may not make up for voters\u2019 lost faith.<\/p>\n

Tech mogul: Open Platforms Boost Democracy<\/strong><\/p>\n

At USA Today, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg lists what he considers his company\u2019s \u201ccivic responsibilities\u201d ahead of the 2020 election. First, Facebook will create a \u201cVoting Information Center with authoritative information, including how and when to vote.\u201d Second, it will invest in \u201csome of the most advanced systems in the world\u201d to protect against \u201celection interference.\u201d Last, it won\u2019t censor politicians\u2019 speech (except in cases of \u201cimminent physical harm\u201d or voter suppression), even speech many people \u201cviscerally dislike\u201d \u2014 because \u201caccountability only works if we can see what those seeking our votes are saying.\u201d That way, voters will be able to \u201cmake judgments for themselves\u201d and have \u201cas open a platform as possible\u201d for all viewpoints.<\/p>\n

Conservative: NBC\u2019s Censorship \u2018Insanity\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n

On Tuesday, NBC inaccurately reported that Google had blocked The Federalist from collective revenue via Google Ads for violating \u201cpolicies on content related to race\u201d \u2014 a claim, blasts National Review\u2019s David Harsanyi (a former editor at The Federalist), that\u2019s \u201cutter nonsense.\u201d All of the site\u2019s content \u201cfalls well within the parameters of contemporary political discourse.\u201d NBC\u2019s accusation is based on a Federalist piece criticizing Black Lives Matter, not \u201cone word\u201d of which is racist. Plus, Google says NBC got the story wrong, that the tech giant had only warned it \u201ccould\u201d demonetize The Federalist. But NBC clearly wanted to see the publication squashed. \u201cWhere are all the other journalists banding together to defend the ideals of free expression and the First Amendment?\u201d asks Harsanyi. \u201cSo far, nowhere.\u201d<\/p>\n
