The professor who said Texas deservedHurricane Harvey because of how the state voted has been “relieved of his duties,” the University of Tampa announced Tuesday.

"On Sunday, Aug. 27, visiting assistant professor of sociology Kenneth Storey made comments on a private Twitter account that do not reflect UT's community views or values. We condemn the comments and the sentiment behind them, and understand the pain this irresponsible act has caused," the statement read.

"Storey has been relieved of his duties at UT, and his classes will be covered by other sociology faculty. As Floridians, we are well of the destruction and suffering associated with tropical weather. Our thoughts and prayers are with all impacted by Hurricane Harvey," the university concluded.

The good news/bad news see-saw on free speech continues to teeter back and forth. On the positive side of the fulcrum, we have the new poll I wrote about this morning. It shows that supermajorities of Americans are opposed to the phenomenon of weaponized political correctness being wielded to exact economic revenge on people who voice genuine political views. Ideological purges may be all the rage on the 'End of Discussion' Left, but they're not playing well with Americans writ large (I should add that the exhausting scalp-collection wars continue to rage on both sides).

In the midst of a natural disaster, you’d think people would have more important topics to discuss than First Lady Melania Trump’s shoes.

Apparently not.

As I write this, the First Lady is trending on Twitter. Not because she accompanied her husband to Texas to meet with state and local officials. Not because she participated in talks about one of the worst natural disasters in American history. But because as she boarded the plane to Corpus Christi — while she was still in D.C. — she wore stilettos, as the former supermodel tends to do.

As soon as photos of their departure landed on the internet, people freaked out.

Michael Cromartie, a Washington networker who helped rebrand America’s image of Christian political engagement, has died of cancer at age 67.

The news of his death was reported Monday on Twitter and confirmed by colleagues at the Ethics and Public Policy Center (EPPC), the DC-based conservative think tank where he served for more than 30 years.

Cromartie brought Christian thought leaders and secular journalists under the same roof at the Faith Angle Forum, held every year since 1999. Through his work as EPPC vice president, he evoked theologians and philosophers as he advocated for thoughtful engagement in public policy and civil discourse.
