The winning, it just keeps coming.
On Friday Education Secretary Betsy DeVos formally rescinded the infamous 2011 "Dear Colleague" letter that illegally and unconstitutionally mandated extra-judicial punishment for alleged sex offenders on college campuses.
This is great news.
I'm old enough to remember when liberals used to say: "Better ten guilty men go free than an innocent man go to prison."
Under the Obama administration-sponsored Title IX policy, this equation was reversed, and advocates openly gloated that innocents would suffer but that it was all in a good cause. Well of course - anything the left does is a for a cause so good and so righteous that any amount of collateral damage is okay.
On its face, the policy never made sense. If sexual assault was a problem, the solution was to review law enforcement policies, capabilities and also educate students in risk mitigation.
Put bluntly, getting black-out drunk at a party and going home with a guy you just met is extremely unwise.
At the same time, having sex with said person and then decided it was a bad idea the next day isn't rape, it's a wholly understandable sense of remorse and regret for poor behavior.
Feminists are almost entirely to blame for this state of affairs. An earlier generation lauded the "hook-up" culture of easy sex, disregarding the emotional and moral problems it creates.
This was back when "I am woman, hear me roar!" was the operative slogan.
In the last few years that has changed and now feminists insist that women are helpless, weak creatures who need safe spaces and constant attention due to their fragility. Even the slightest amount of alcohol can render them incapable of reasoned judgement and any male persuasion can sweep them off their fickle feet.
In addition, despite thousands of years of documented evidence to the contrary, feminists also insisted women never lie about rape.
The Scottsboro Boys couldn't be reached for comment.
By the way, that reference isn't mere hyperbole - there is a clear racial component here, with white women regularly accusing black men of sexual assault. The exact numbers are known because - strangely - the "civil rights" people running the show refuse to track this vital statistic.
Odd, isn't it? They love tracking disparate impact everywhere else, but campus rape tribunals are one area where "Black Lives Matter" doesn't count.
As expected, the feminist lobby is screaming bloody murder and claiming DeVos is enabling rape. Again, nothing could be further from the truth.
These kangaroo courts had no punishment other than expulsion, so they did nothing to actually stop actual rapists from striking again. Given that women are far more likely to be raped off campus than on it, this did nothing to improve public safety and likely made things worse since it provided a false sense of security and may have convinced people to choose these venues rather than actual law enforcement.
No, the real reason feminists fear and hate DeVos is that she will stop their gravy train from flowing. The Obama administration policy led to a massive growth in bureaucracy and a hiring spree for experts in the useless field of "Gender Studies."
All over the country, otherwise unemployable idiots found lucrative positions as campus inquisitors. DeVos' proposed solution - relying on law enforcement for criminal matters and impartial professional investigative firms for lesser offenses - would destroy their income.
The same people who shrugged nonchalantly about innocent men having their livelihoods destroyed are now up in arms when its their rice bowl being smashed.
Legislatively, Trump remains stalled by the Quisling Never Trump bastards in the House and Senate, but elsewhere, he - and America - is winning bigly.
