It’s endemic in the modern university. The PhD in humanities and social science since they were created has been creating a class that always thinks it’s smarter than the invisible hand as a general rule.

I was sitting next to him at his house and got an email on my BlackBerry (if you know, you know). I thought I was being subtle. I slid the BlackBerry out of my pocket, glanced, and slid it back in my pocket. “Do you do that around your kids?” the Vice President of the United

La Guardia was known for campaigning in several languages. That’s not new. The key change is that we’re assimilating immigrants to hyphenated identities that we have created. Hispanic, Asian etc are identities created by us.
When can I expect my apology from the “good” conservatives for the decades of funding so much “legal” immigration that local politicians now campaign in foreign languages? When do they apologize for making my country unrecognizable? When do they get criticized?

Red states should ensure there’s an accurate history of 20th totalitarianism, Nazi and Communist, in the schools, and as part of the Ed School curriculum. I fear we have Sickle Cell Amnesia.

Is there lobster apogee?
Lobster Thermidor is such a good old-timey dish. You take all the lobster meat out of the shell, chop it up, mix it in a creamy sauce, put it back in the lobster, and brown it a little.

Here’s Qatar call someone who cares?
It can be hard to get a piece published on Qatari influence in the US because so many media orgs and think tanks have “partnerships” with the Gulf state. New long read in @Quillette

Worth a read. Qatar sort of is what normies think Israel is, re media influence.

Disestablishment is certainly compatible with a federal government as circumscribed as it was up to the 20th C. It’s much harder to do with our greatly expanded federal government that intrudes regularly into what used to be free civil society.

Man, this is a good idea. Every state should have a central database of developer permits that shows how long it takes, so that we can see exactly who and where are the bad actor bureaucrats dragging their feet to please NIMBY special interests.
Under @GovernorVA Glenn Youngkin, Virginia created a new permitting dashboard, and cut permit processing times by 72%. The state's attracted $125 Billion in capital investment since 2022. Conservative abundance at work.

The smooth and easy part is to condemn Nick Fuentes. But Fuentes is not the most dangerous anti-Semite in America. That title belongs to his enabler, Tucker Carlson. So that’s the tougher and braver call, to condemn both the snake and the snake charmer. Be tough and brave!

The battle of horseshoe bend?
The American far right and far left basically agreed to be antisemitic. But this will be bad for both of them in the long run, and will strengthen the center.

I've been running into this interesting phenomena where I reference some outrageous outcome from the left and people on the left simply tell me it that it didn't happen They don't try to justify it or make an excuse or condemn it as an outlier incident. They just say it's fake

RT @McCormickProf: I'm reposting this tweet of mine from two-and-a-half years ago. The point I made back then is even more urgent today.
