WASHINGTON EXAMINER — Big companies like Google, Apple, and IBM are no longer requiring applicants to hold a college degree. This is a significant change. Historically, employers have required a college degree whether or not it was necessary to do the job. Is this because colleges are no longer teaching the needed skills, or because there are so many job openings to fill that standards are dropping? Could it be that vocational training and self-taught skills are enough for certain jobs in the modern-day economy?... (more)

WORLDNETDAILY — An explosive new Ivy League university study is being suppressed because it concludes that today's exceptionally rapid growth in cases of transgenderism among children and teens is very likely a result of "social contagion." The Brown University study is titled "Rapid-onset gender dysphoria in adolescents and young adults: A study of parental reports."... (more)

ART MOORE — Republican Congress members who questioned Bruce Ohr behind closed doors Tuesday learned the former top Justice Department official had regular contact in 2016 with Andrew Weissmann -- who is now Robert Mueller's top deputy -- regarding the dubious, anti-Trump dossier of unverified claims that became a major premise for launching the special counsel investigation....

ART MOORE — The explosive charge by Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò that Pope Francis covered up sexual abuse by ex-Cardinal Theodore McCarrick should be taken seriously, contend Catholic leaders who know Viganò, a former Vatican ambassador to the U.S. capital.... (more)

CLIFF KINCAID — As he was preparing to attend a White House dinner of evangelical leaders, Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council (FRC) sent out a fundraising message in support of President Trump's nomination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. What Perkins didn't reveal to FRC supporters is that Kavanaugh's mentor on the court, Justice Anthony Kennedy, supported abortion-on-demand and same-sex marriage, and that Kavanaugh has promised to uphold Court precedents....

JERRY NEWCOMBE — The New York Times' slogan is famously, "All the news that's fit to print." I guess Facebook's slogan should be, "All the liberal news that's fit to print." And not just Facebook, but Google, YouTube, Twitter, Vimeo, and Apple. Look at this variety of recent examples where social media giants are allegedly censoring conservative or Christian content:...

VICTOR DAVIS HANSON — Special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation was star-crossed from the start. His friend and successor as FBI director, James Comey, by his own admission prompted the investigation -- with the deliberate leaking of classified memos about his conversations with President Donald Trump to the press.... (more)

ART MOORE — The former top Justice Department official at the center of the anti-Trump dossier scandal, Bruce Ohr, testified that the FBI was aware when it submitted the dossier as evidence to obtain a warrant to spy on the Trump campaign that the document's author was biased against Trump and that Ohr's wife worked for the company that produced it....

Breitbart News has independently confirmed an earlier report in People magazine, which reported that Palin was not sent an invitation and was told through intermediaries to stay away from the ceremony....

WASHINGTON TIMES — A shock 2016 study argued that the U.S. accounted for nearly one-third of all mass shootings, sparking global headlines about the dangers of an American gun culture. Now another researcher says the original study "botched" the data. John R. Lott Jr., president of the Crime Prevention Research Center, crunched the numbers and said his count shows that the U.S. had less than 3 percent of the world's mass public shootings over a 15-year period....

NEWSMAX — Larry Klayman on Tuesday told Newsmax TV of his intention to file a class action lawsuit this week against Google, Facebook and other companies for anti-trust violations around censorship of conservative websites.... (more)

NATIONAL REVIEW — According to a new piece in Vox, Nabisco's just-redesigned animal-crackers box deserves criticism because it does nothing to "dismantle" capitalism. In case you missed the (very important) news, Nabisco listened to pressure from PETA last week and removed the cage from the design on the box of its animal crackers. It was truly a giant step for humanity. I've been eating and sleeping better just knowing that these imaginary animals have been freed from their imaginary captivity.... (more)

BOB UNRUH — President Trump's economic adviser Tuesday revealed that the idea of regulating Google and other social-media monopolies now is under review. Larry Kudlow's remark came outside the White House just hours after the president unleashed a series of tweets criticizing Google for search results that produce mostly negative assessments of his presidency....

WORLDNETDAILY — Ultra-liberal billionaire George Soros, who is supporting a collaborative effort with Facebook and others to remove President Trump from office, recently made large purchases in social-media stock after bashing the companies.... (more)

JOSEPH FARAH — While the Google-Facebook machine claims to fight fake news, these monopolies are actually spreading fake news while censoring alternative, independent news sources. Let me give you an example. Last week, CNN's Jim Sciutto had two big scoops debunked as false, phony and provably fake news -- not by me, but by his own colleagues. Sciutto is CNN's chief national security correspondent. He joined the network after serving in Barack Obama's White House and is an anti-Donald Trump zealot.... (more)

NEWSMAX — The U.S. Education Department official report on the number of incidents involving a school shooting are much higher than can be confirmed, NPR reported on Tuesday.

WASHINGTON TIMES — Passing legislation hasn't been Rep. Jim Jordan's strong suit, but that isn't dampening the spirit of conservatives who are rallying behind his bid to become the 55th speaker of the House. Instead, it is his ability to gum up the works, along with his near-unwavering support for President Trump, that is enchanting tea party and right-wing groups. They say they have been ill-served by a string of deal-making Republican leaders.... (more)

NEWSMAX — Pennsylvania's top law enforcement official said Tuesday the Vatican knew of the alleged cover-up of predator priests -- but stopped short of including the pope. In an interview on Fox News' "Shepard Smith Reporting," Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro, who issued a bombshell grand jury report revealing that more than 1,000 children were molested by 301 "predator priests" in six dioceses over decades, said "individuals put the reputation" of the church "ahead of people they're supposed to be protecting."...

NATIONAL REVIEW — Almost everyone is familiar with the expression "War is too important to be left to the generals." Credited to Georges Clemenceau, the French prime minister at the end of World War I, the aphorism seems simple on its face. Military leaders, embroiled in the tactics and operations of the battlefield, might lose touch with the larger issues at hand -- especially political ones -- in wartime. The quip has been embraced as a principle by civil-military scholars in democracies over the years to bolster the case for civilian control of the military.... (more)

ALAN KEYES — In the wake of the Pennsylvania Grand Jury report on sex abuse allegations against Catholic clergy, Pope Francis has addressed a letter to "the people of God" in which he says:... (more)
