While researching what would become their 2009 book, ???Becoming Right: How Campuses Shape Young Conservatives,??? sociologists Amy Binder and Kate Wood conducted extensive student interviews at two schools: Harvard and the University of Colorado at Boulder. Although the faculty members they encountered were overwhelmingly liberal, Ms. Binder and Ms. Wood found that students at Boulder ???were far likelier [than Harvard students] to contend that their professors bring those personal politics into the classroom.??? This stifling ideological conformity, they concluded, caused conservative students to adopt ???the provocative style??? as their favored tactic to fight back.

Trump-Haley in 2020

Putting her on the ticket may win over some moderate, suburban women.

I???m proud to have founded the Democrats for Trump movement in 2016. President Trump???s pro-growth policies have revived the stagnating U.S. economy, and he deserves a second term. But to have the best chance of re-election, he should replace Vice President Mike Pence on the ticket with Nikki Haley.
I mean no disrespect for Mr. Pence, who???s loyally served the president and the nation. But he???s given Mr. Trump all the help he can. He inspired his fellow evangelical Christians to take a chance in 2016. But in 2020 they???ll already be repelled by the Democrats??? embrace of infanticide. Mr. Trump???s greater obstacle to re-election comes from politically moderate suburban women, many of whom see him as divisive.

If you buy one of many new makes and models of car today, you might be surprised to find that, as a standard feature, it can do something your previous car couldn???t: It will take over when it thinks you???re making a mistake.
In the coming years, many cars will do more than that, even driving mostly by themselves, at least on highways. And not just luxury models such as the latest Audi A8 or Cadillac CT6, but something as mainstream as a Nissan Rogue.

???I plan on???if I???m your nominee???winning Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina .??.??. and I believe we can win Texas and Florida,??? Joe Biden declared Monday.
That sounds like campaign hyperbole. After all, in the last five presidential races, Democrats lost those five states 22 of 25 times, carrying North Carolina only once, in 2008, and Florida twice, in 2008 and 2012. In 2016, President Trump won North Carolina by 3.7 points, Georgia by 5.1, Texas by 9 and South Carolina by 14.3. Even when Mr. Biden was on the ballot with President Obama in 2012, they lost North Carolina by 2 points, Georgia by 7.8, South Carolina by 10.5 and Texas by 15.8.

A Connecticut Tax Story

A rate increase yielded less revenue than the state paid in subsidies.

 Photo: Pat Eaton-Robb/Associated Press
United Technologies last week announced plans as part of its merger with Raytheon to relocate its headquarters to Boston from Farmington, Connecticut. CEO Greg Hayes says the move isn???t motivated by taxes. But as a new study documents, more businesses are leaving Connecticut as they get walloped with higher taxes that are bleeding the state.
Democrats in 2015 imposed a 20% surtax on top of the state???s 7.5% corporate rate, effectively raising the tax rate to 9%. They also increased the top income tax rate to 6.99% from 6.7% on individuals earning more than $500,000. The state estimated the corporate tax hike would raise $481 million over two years, but revenue increased by merely $323 million???$161 million a year???according to a new Yankee Institute report.

Too Much Salt Really Is Bad for Your Health

High sodium intake is associated with high blood pressure, a key contributor to heart disease and stroke. These two conditions make up more than one in six premature deaths among adults in New York City.

In ???Are You Getting Too Much Salt in Your Diet? Probably Not??? (op-ed, June 3), Michael H. Alderman and David A. McCarron attempt to detract from the large body of scientific evidence???including an extensive, years long review by experts from the National Academies of Sciences???which demonstrates that sodium intake above 2,300 milligrams a day should be lowered to prevent chronic disease.
High sodium intake is associated with high blood pressure, a key contributor to heart disease and stroke. These two conditions make up more than one in five premature deaths among adults in New York City. Certain populations are more heavily affected, including black and Latino New Yorkers and those in high-poverty neighborhoods.

America Can Face Down a Fragile Iran

The regime is dangerous, but it isn???t nearly strong enough to withstand a prolonged confrontation.

In the U.S. and Europe, much of the mainstream media has swallowed a narrative about Donald Trump and Iran. While Iran is an aggressive authoritarian state, the story goes, it is nonetheless a victim of American belligerence. Tehran was adhering to the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, negotiated by the Obama administration, when the truculent Mr. Trump abruptly abandoned the accord. For more than a year, according to the narrative, the mullahs have shown patience by continuing to abide by the agreement, even with the resurrection of punishing American sanctions.

You Have the Right to Bare Arms, but Why Ink Them?

I shaved my youthful beard and threw away my ugly tie. What would I have done with a tattoo?

Warmer weather comes, and women put on summer dresses. Arms and shoulders may be bared. People will wear shorts, bathing suits. And we will become aware, again, of the tattoos???of the immense acreage of human flesh committed to artists??? ink.
The tattoos may be discreet and coy and subtle, winking from the deltoid, or from halfway up the calf; they may be exotic and cryptic and hieroglyphic, or they may have nothing more interesting to offer than the clich?? of a skull. They may be sweepingly narrative, covering the chest, shoulders and back with constellations and galaxies, or with epic scenes only a little less ambitious than an 18th-century canvas by Jacques-Louis David: Someday I expect to see his ???Oath of the Horatii??? inked across a guy???s chest, armpit to armpit.

The Case for Force in Venezuela

How to back the regime???s opponents without sending in the Marines.

June 2, 2019 4:30 p.m. ET

Opinion: Admiral Faller: Cuba 'Protecting' Maduro 'Mafia'
Admiral Craig Faller, U.S. Southern Command chief, discusses the influence of Cuba, China, Russia, and Iran in embattled Venezuela on May 1, 2019, during a meeting of the House Armed Services Committee. Image: Reuters
Despite extreme repression under the dictatorship of Nicol??s Maduro, the case for a U.S. military invasion of Venezuela remains unconvincing. Yet the case for the use of force by Venezuelans???with organizational and intelligence support from the U.S. and regional allies???has never been stronger.
Venezuela is occupied by Cuba and Russia and by Iranian proxies. China is also a Maduro ally though it relies on commercial relations to sink its claws into the country. These imperialists may not share a common vision. But they have a common interest, which is to redraw the geopolitical map of the Western Hemisphere to minimize U.S. influence.

An Ethanol Sop to Farmers

The EPA allows E15 blends in the summer to offset tariff damage.

June 3, 2019 6:44 p.m. ET

Americans will pay for President Trump???s tariffs in many ways, and on Friday we learned one more. The Environmental Protection Agency released a final rule allowing gasoline to be blended with up to 15% ethanol year-round. The result will be smoggier air and costlier road trips.
The EPA has long restricted E15 sales in the summer. The concern is???or at least was???that the combination of sun, heat and the organic compounds released by ethanol blends would result in much more smog. The Clean Air Act allows the EPA to issue a waiver and allow sales of 10% ethanol blends between June 1 and Sept. 15, but the law includes no such carve-out for E15.
Despite dubious legal authority, the Trump Administration has now granted E15 this pass to pollute during peak smog season. And it might not stop there. Geoff Cooper, ethanol lobbyist at the Renewable Fuels Association, praised the decision as ???a key that finally unlocks the door to greater demand opportunities in the long term.???
