Big Dreamers Never Sleep (1987). Thirty years gone.

Sorry; I don't see anything other than a clash of civilizations. Islam and Christianity are oil and water.

Here is Kurt Schlichter's latest column.

Here is Glenn Reynolds's latest column at USA Today. Reynolds, a law professor at the University of Tennessee, is better known as InstaPundit.

The world record for indoor noise at a sports event of 130.4 decibels, set at the Feb. 13 Kansas-West Virginia basketball game, might have also set a record for the number of people whose hearing was damaged at an indoor sports event. (Jan. 14, 1B, “KU survives in overtime”)

Anyone who had ringing in their ears or sound muffling the next day undoubtedly sustained permanent auditory damage.

Hearing is the social sense, needed for spoken communication. It is precious.

Once our ears are damaged, there is no recovery. And hearing aids, even the best digital ones available, are poor substitutes for preserved natural hearing.

Studies of auditory sensitivity in primitive populations, as well as other lines of evidence, show that hearing loss is not part of normal aging but represents cumulative noise damage.

Noise causes deafness. If it sounds too loud, it is too loud.

The NCAA and the University of Kansas should apologize to fans, athletes, Allen Fieldhouse employees and team staff who were deafened by the roar.

Let’s hope this record stands forever so that Guinness will stop documenting such silliness.

Daniel Fink, M.D., is board chair of the Quiet Coalition, a Lincoln, Mass., organization of professionals concerned about the effects of noise on health, environment, learning, productivity and quality of life in America. He is a longtime fan of Kansas coach Bill Self.

My beloved Arizona Wildcats (25-3) have moved to fourth in the ranking (from fifth). It's looking good for a #1 seed in the NCAA tournament!

Give the public a break – The FAKE NEWS media is trying to say that large scale immigration in Sweden is working out just beautifully. NOT!

David Horowitz gets it. Conservatives are sick to death of taking the high road while progressives lie, cheat, steal, batter, and smear. Donald Trump was successful precisely because he fought back against the forces arrayed against him. John McCain, who, by the way, never met a war he didn't like, hates Trump because McCain failed where Trump succeeded. McCain thought that being nice would get him elected. Sorry; it doesn't work that way. Ask Mitt Romney. Moral of the story: While it would be nice if both parties were civil and respectful, it's suicidal to be civil and respectful while your opponent is trying to kill you.
