Such happy little authoritative Malthusians. The living, breathing adherents and practitioners of the ideology are particularly interesting in localities and states where, for some reason known only to God, they’ve managed to accrue power and wield it with a fierce, unmerciful intensity over their increasingly helpless peasant flock. Conditions are especially egregious in states like...
I had an argument with a friend a few years back about the Hunter Biden laptop cover-up. The basic issue was not about its authenticity or anything like that. It was about the censorship and the conspiracy to “debunk” it–it took over two years for some news organizations to acknowledge the laptop was genuine, and...
Six months after an election that saw the Democratic Party lose, in chronological order, their incumbent presidential candidate, the United States Senate, and the White House, some statistical analysis has come out, primarily in the New York Times but also in some other polling outfits, that indicate the troubles facing the Democratic Party are getting...
Jonathan Capehart is a columnist for the Washington Post and also hosts a Sunday show on MSNBC. Capehart has a new book out titled “Yet Here I Am: Lessons from a Black Man’s Search for Home” which includes an explanation of his decision to quit the Post’s editorial board in 2023. According to Capehart, it...
At the end of April, Democrats across the country were licking their chops. There was a sense of chaos in the markets and that optimism was ebbing across the country in the face of the Trump tariff wars. Consumer confidence slid to a five-year low at the end of the month, coming in under an...
The election of Donald Trump in 2016 proved that there has been an ongoing realignment in American politics, so it’s not quite absurd for Democrats to believe that they may have a chance to win in places that have been hostile to Democrats for decades. The party of Bush and Romney flocked to their antithesis,...
Yesterday, Harvard revoked the tenure of a well-known researcher named Francesca Gino who studies ethics and honesty. Ironically, she has been accused of fabricating data. This is the first time Harvard has stripped a professor of tenure in 80 years. Harvard University revoked the tenure of Harvard Business School professor Francesca Gino after years of...
There’s something very Dennis Green-ish about this latest development from Harvard. And that’s not because the school is winning, either. It’s because the administration and faculty at Harvard are who we thought they were — and they don’t have any compunction about demonstrating it repeatedly. The Department of Homeland Security explicitly cited the grant of...
Everybody knows that Democrats are in a pickle, which I suppose is better than outright rotting. At least pickles are being preserved for later consumption. Even without all the doubt about Trump’s policies and the unrelenting attacks on the president by the media and his opponents–who include almost every major culturally significant figure in the...
I can only assume this is an indictment of blue state governance in general. In one place where it happened, you hear about such things often with an overwhelmed and officially castrated police force trying ineffectually, if at all, to keep the mayhem as contained as possible. Risking life and limb on the scene while...
If Democrats and the New York Times really want to correct their “cultural rejection,” Donald Trump just handed them a golden opportunity. Will Gavin Newsom take it? It’s not as if Newsom can’t recognize the moment. Ever since Donald Trump won election to a second term as president, Newsom has tied himself in knots to...
I dunno. Maybe stop trying to impose radical cultural notions on voters who keep insisting on rejecting them? Maybe start with Latinx and move outward? Just a thought! Anyway, first one has to accept the obvious, and neither Democrats nor the New York Times have gotten to that stage on the Kübler-Ross process. In fact,...
A lot of people I know, coming from the upper-crust of the educated class, are deeply disturbed that President Trump’s administration is picking a fight with Harvard over its civil rights violations and cooperation with China’s government. Unfortunately, while few of these people would deny that Harvard has made a few “mistakes” in dealing with...
A Christian group in Seattle held a concert and prayer meeting in a Seattle park. They had a permit, were totally peaceful, and gathered together to pray for the end of alphabet ideology harming children. Nobody was masked, there was no hate speech, and the goal was to call on Jesus and all good people...
Oh, this is ghastly. And Lord almighty – what a classic British police statement. Police are responding to an incident near the Liverpool Football Club parade after a car collided with several pedestrians. The incident happened as thousands of fans lined the streets of the city to celebrate Liverpool’s Premier League title victory. A police...
