Has there ever been someone with so few real life accomplishments who got handed such great opportunities as Chelsea Clinton? You may recall her six-figure gig at NBC a few years ago. Now she's moving on to another green pasture, this time at Expedia. CNN reports:
Expedia names Chelsea Clinton to board of directors In a public filing posted Friday, the travel site said it named Clinton -- the daughter of Hillary Clinton -- as a member of its board on Thursday.

After the recent incident at Middlebury College, during which a mob of students prevented Professor Charles Murray from speaking and sent a professor to the emergency room, people are finally starting to notice that protest culture on college campuses is out of control. This wasn't an isolated incident. We've documented similar events on this site numerous times. This time however, people on the left took notice. Frank Bruni writes at the New York Times:
The Dangerous Safety of College The moral of the recent melee at Middlebury College, where students shouted down and chased away a controversial social scientist, isn’t just about free speech, though that’s the rubric under which the ugly incident has been tucked. It’s about emotional coddling. It’s about intellectual impoverishment.

Today is St. Patrick's Day. If you don't have plans to go out for a pint tonight, you may want to just watch a movie at home. There are lots of great films that would fit this list but I'm limiting it to five of my favorites. All of these films are available on Netflix so pick up some Guinness on the way home, I recommend pub draft in cans, and watch a movie.

In the video below, college students are asked for their thoughts on President Trump's Education Secretary Betsy DeVos. Their responses sound like they came right off a Democratic Party memo: "DeVos isn't qualified for the position!" and "Anyone but her would have been a better choice!" and "She doesn't know what she's talking about!" Then the interviewer asks the same students for their thoughts on policies like school choice and vouchers for low income families - policies embraced by DeVos - and the students agree with them.
