More than 2,000 young Americans gathered over the weekend in Houston to meet prominent conservatives and hear speeches and Q&As about media, politics, and conservatism.

Rep. Dan Crenshaw, a Texas Republican and former U.S. Navy SEAL who represents part of Houston, organized the event. On hand were Daily Wire founder Ben Shapiro, podcaster Dave Rubin, former Fox News and NBC anchor Megyn Kelly, bestselling author Dr. Jordan Peterson, and several other conservative leaders.

BOXING FANS CHEER TRUMP AT GUEST COMMENTATOR GIG

Youre here because you think conservatism is a better path forward for America, Crenshaw, who descended theatrically from the ceiling in a crowd-pleasing reprise of the campaign ad that showed him jumping out of a helicopter. Youd be right. But I didnt bring you here to rally on and on about how great we are. This isnt a rally I brought you here so that you might have a better understanding of what it means to partake from the rich, conservative, traditions.

Crenshaw held a Q&A with anti-human trafficking activists Jaco Booyens and Courtney Litvak. In 2020, President Donald Trump appointed Litvak, herself a survivor, to the U.S. Advisory Council on Human Trafficking.

Rubin discussed Californias gubernatorial recall election coming up Tuesday and his journey from far-left to center-right commentary. Kelly answered questions about media bias and offered advice about how to foster a burgeoning journalism career.

Weve seen a complete collapse of the journalistic system," Kelly said before urging those in attendance to never settle for less, to stop complaining, and to be excellent in every job they do.

After lunch and a performance by Texas country music stars the Josh Abbott Band, the afternoon session included a speech by Tony Robbins, the motivational speaker of Netflixs I Am Not Your Guru fame.

Elisha Krauss, Antonia Okafor, Benji Backer, and Morgan Zegers spoke on a panel called Youth Outreach and Activism, specifically targeted to their Generation Z audience. Black Rifle Coffee Company founders Mat Best, Jarred Taylor, and Evan Hafer also spoke on entrepreneurship and conservatism.

Although the event felt like a rally with its thumping intro music and bright, colorful lights, Crenshaw said its purpose was to grow the conservative movement, not just get people charged up.

Jordan is well versed in the importance of our player development program and well prepared to lead the Greensboro Swarm in pursuit of this goal. We are excited about the synergy he will bring to Greensboro given his time under Head Coach James Borrego.

Im very appreciative of the opportunity to lead the Greensboro Swarm, said Surenkamp. The time spent helping develop our younger players in Charlotte and learning from Coach Borrego and his staff has prepared me for this opportunity. Im grateful for the trust the Hornets organization, Swarm organization, Mitch Kupchak, Buzz Peterson, Larry Jordan and Coach James Borrego have put in me, and Im excited to get to work with the Swarm.

Before joining the Hornets, Surenkamp kicked off his career in professional basketball with the Brooklyn Nets (2017-18). His tenure with the Nets included head video coordinator duties for their NBA G League affiliate, the Long Island Nets.

Im excited to see what Jordan is able to accomplish with the Swarm in this role, said Borrego. He has been a valued part of my staff in Charlotte, and I am impressed by his work ethic and competitive nature.His passion for helping young players get better will be contagious as he builds a strong culture in Greensboro. I look forward to keeping a strong connection between his staff and mine as we continue building our organization and developing our players.

Surenkamp has a wealth of collegiate experience after spending four seasons at the University of South Alabama under head coach Matthew Graves. From 2015-17 he was the director of basketball operations, a role he was promoted to after spending two seasons (2013-15) as a graduate assistant. Surenkamp earned a masters degree in communication from South Alabama in 2015.

A native of Indianapolis, Surenkamp graduated from Wabash College with a degree in speech communication and rhetoric. He was also a member of the mens basketball program where he earned four letters and appeared in 74 career games.

The 2021-22 NBA G League season will be the Swarns 5th Anniversary celebration, presented by Blue Ridge Companies. The season-long campaign will focus on recognizing the organizations community partners through 5 Months of Giving philanthropic events, in-game entertainment, and social and digital media campaigns.

RED PILL or BLUE PILL? Why The Matrix Matters - The Global Herald - The Global Herald

Thanks to the ongoing pandemic and lockdowns, millions of Australians are cowering under their doonas, desperate for distraction.

Sensing an opportunity, the book industry is rushing out a swathe of new and repackaged books reflecting recent local and global developments. Are they any good?

The old adage Write what you know is advice that has served former defence minister Christopher Pyne well in his first dive into airport fiction.

Drawing heavily from his time in government,The Hunt for Dud Octobertell the story of The Fixer, a plucky able-bodied seaman who, against great odds, establishes a new submarine base in Lake Burley Griffin. Whether hes battling naval top brass, ACT town planners or his own personal demons, readers can rest assured hell fix it.

In this part memoir, part DIY handbook, Porter explains the dark art of not knowing the things you need to know and knowing the people you do but being able to say you dont.

A must-read for anyone on a fixed salary and stuck in a legal or ethical bind, Strangers is a rollicking read of legal derring-do, political intrigue and the gift of moral ambiguity.

This tell-all blows the lid on the high times of football wives and Instagram influencers. It is a rip-snorting, wags-to-witches tale that delivers line after line of chatty, erratic and occasionally overconfident prose. It will leave readers wanting more. Heaps more.

This reprint includes a new foreword by the author in which she apologises for the way her work has unintentionally inspired and emboldened oppressive chauvinists from Texas to Kabul. The book was always intended to be a warning. Sadly, for too many men, my speculative fiction has become a kind of Misogyny for Dummies, Atwood said.

Similar rereleases are expected for The Plague by Albert Camus, Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, and Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury.

A trenchantly, non-rhetorical follow-up to How Good is Scott Morrison, Van Onselens new work is a pithy and well-told tale, although the central characters unreliable narration can grate.

Marie Kondos world-conquering debut The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up was carefully constructed around a single powerful idea: if your stuff doesnt bring you joy, bin it. For this book, the core message appears to be: Dont just do something, sit there.

It explores the languid allure of indolence, sloth, prevarication, avoidance, denial, lethargy and meh. Essential reading, particularly during a third wave.

Its hard to know if Mark Mansons follow-up to Everything is F*cked is a carefully calibrated satire on the vagaries of modern-day book marketing, or a cynical cash-in. Either way, there are plenty of laughs as Manson drops f-bombs into classics such as: Pride and F*cking Prejudice, Moby F*cking Dick, The F*cked Gatsby, F*cker in the Rye and F*cking Boy Swallows F*cking Universe. Not too f*cking shabby.

In 12 Rules for Being Incel Catnip, public thinker and clinical psychologist Jordan Peterson attempts to understand why so many of his readers are sad and broken misogynists and why they use his books to justify their terrible memes and poor hygiene. After 674 long pages, and several quixotic tilts at political correctness and feminism, Peterson concludes absolutely none of it is his fault.

Often referred to as Australias best storyteller, and not just by himself, Peter FitzSimons has crash-tackled some of our nations tallest tales Gallipoli, Kokoda, James Cook, Ned Kelly and, um, Kim Beazley. Now hes set his sights on the biggest target yet: himself.

In this hard-hitting expose, FitzSimons asks: Should I have done more to stop Malcolm Turnbull screwing up the republic referendum?, Is there anyone who doesnt know Ive given up the grog? and How funky do those bandanas get under studio lights?

A worthy addition to the canon.

Its more than a newsletter. Its where readers expect more fearless journalism from a truly independent perspective. We dont pander to anyones party biases. We question everything, explore the uncomfortable and dig deeper.

And now you get more from your membership than ever before.

The senior class should invite Jordan Peterson to deliver the colleges commencement address inMay.

For a school that studies the classic tradition while fighting for freedom in modern politics, Peterson is an excellentfit.

A public intellectual and clinical psychologist, he speaks on eternal truths and classic texts, and applies their lessons to todays controversies. A New Yorker article called Peterson the most influentialand polarizingpublic intellectuals in the English-speaking world.

Peterson came to public attention in 2016 when he opposed an amendment to Canadas criminal code that added gender identity as a protected category. Peterson argued that the change would criminalize a persons refusal to use they/them pronouns and ultimately push Canada toward tyrannya concept he has studied foryears.

Ive studied authoritarianism for a very long timefor 40 yearsand theyre started by peoples attempts to control the ideological and linguistic territory, he told the BBC in2016.

He stands strongly against cultural insanity while not becoming an ordinary talking head on a nightly shout show. He has spoken out against the sexual revolution and transgender radicalism while defending family values andtradition.

Since entering the spotlight, Peterson has captivated audiences everywhere. He has written two best-selling books on life improvement and traveled across the world speaking to thousands of people on ideas like responsibility anddiscipline.

Adopt responsibility for your own well-being, Peterson said in a video. Try to put your family together, try to serve your community, try to seek for eternal truth thats the sort of thing that can ground you in your life, enough so that you can withstand the difficulty oflife.

Self-responsibility is a core theme of Petersons messagepractically identical to the principle of self-government this college holdsclosely.

Almost all the meaning that you will need to get you through the hard times of your life is going to be a consequence of adopting responsibility, he said in onelecture.

But theres another reason to invite Peterson to campus. We have the unique opportunity to teach one of the worlds leading intellectuals alesson.

Peterson has spoken out about the decline of the university countless times. The crackdowns on free speech, the decreased diversity of thought, and increased reliance on feelings and identity are among hiscomplaints.

At a 2019 Heritage Foundation event, Peterson said what universities fundamentally manage to achieve is leaving studentsdefeated.

What people are being taught, Peterson said referring to the modern university, is of no utility as a guiding light to anyone. And its a catastrophe to take young people in their formative yearsand to tear the substructure out from underneaththem.

Peterson spends hours on podcasts lamenting the failure of modern education. On his Aug. 2 podcast he talks to seven guests about their experiences on American campuses, including a North Korean defector who said her time at Columbia University made her very pessimistic about the Westernworld.

Hillsdale College should show him an example of a successful collegeone that pursues truth, encourages diversity of thought, and stands firmly against the race-obsessed and emotionally-charged curriculums ruining most institutions.

He will see, in Hillsdale, an example of education done right. He will finally have an example to point to of an intellectually serious and open-minded college.

What he says matters and when he talks, millionslisten.

In a time of disillusionment and turmoil, Peterson speaks to the sanity and truth we crave. We should invite him to send us off into theworld.
