Dipshit college dropout Charlie Kirk tries to con young women to go to college only to find a husband, and never mind the fact fewer men are going to college lest they think it emasculates them.

Obituary: Singer Lou Christie, 82, best known for his 1966 hit "Lightnin' Strikes," complete with the Frankie Valli-style falsetto common during that era, died Wednesday of undisclosed causes. He was from the Pittsburgh area.
Christie had three top 10 singles in the U.S. across a period of six years in the ’60s, the biggest being “Lightnin’ Strikes,” which was released in 1965 and hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in February 1966. Written by Christie with Twyla Herbert, the MGM-label single was famous for a soaring hook with a nearly Frankie Valli-level falsetto.
That career peak was preceded in 1963 with “Two Faces Have I,” which reached No. 6. Also written by Christie and Herbert, the song was not often covered, yet Bruce Springsteen acknowledged it as an inspiration for his song “Two Faces” almost a quarter-century later.
Christie closed out his run in the top 10 in 1969 with “I’m Gonna Make You Mine,” which made it to No. 10 in the U.S., while doing better in the U.K., peaking at No. 2 there.
