“I’ve written a book. It's difficult, unenjoyable and requires mental stamina. To state it clearly, if Joe Biden is writing a book, then I’m the Dalai Lama.” foxnews.com/opinion/david-…
Huntington elsewhere says Ukraine will be ok as long as it doesn’t choose definitively between East and West. It did, putting Huntington and Mearsheimer on the same page. This is an East-West civilization war as well as a Russia-Ukraine state war, both sides—and outsiders—agree.
John Mearsheimer had been predicting a Russian invasion of Ukraine as much as 30 years ago whereas Huntington threw open scorn upon the idea and his civilizationist model of how the world works instead foresaw a Ukrainian civil war between east and west:
Perfect snapshot of modern “news”: a former White House flack masquerading as an anchor, interviewing an ex-CIA chief-turned-paid-MSNBC analyst, masquerading as a guest — with no journalists in the picture.
On Wednesday John Brennan went on with Jen Psaki to lash out at Tulsi Gabbard, accusing her of lying. Two Obama admin liars lying about lying, running cover for a hoax. Legacy media, defined.
This is the flip side of fewer marriages, isn’t it? The people most likely to marry are those best matched and thus least likely to divorce. As more people marry, more marginal matches means more divorces. Raising the quality of marginal matches is the hard problem.
It looks like new marriages are (shockingly) stronger than in past decades. 🧵
"The number of Americans filing for jobless aid fell for the sixth straight week, hitting the lowest level since mid-April." As illegal migrant labor dries up, demand for legal labor increases. Seems almost obvious. But the press talks only about tariffs. thehill.com/homenews/ap/ap…
This week on his podcast, @ToryAnarchist dives into elite overreach, popular sovereignty, and what Edmund Burke can teach us about Donald Trump and the U.S. Constitution: modernagejournal.com/where-burke-ag…
Excited to join @ISI’s Homecoming Weekend this September to discuss restoring Western civilization from the barbarian hordes & socialist clowns alongside @PhilipBlond, @johnnyburtka, @roddreher, @william_blake, @moveincircles, @ToryAnarchist, @KevinRobertsTX, @JustinShubow If…
Treating Colbert as if he's some brave dissident for mocking Trump is both self-flattering for him and typical liberal neurotic melodrama. Every late-night TV host does exactly the same: Kimmel, John Oliver, Seth Meyers: except for @greggutfeld, who has the largest audience.
The Late Show isn’t dying because people stopped watching late-night TV. It’s being murdered because Stephen Colbert spent the last decade being one of Trump’s most persistent critics on network television. trib.al/PpcyWoP
Maybe not news but -- the USPS will release the William F. Buckley Jr. stamp on September 9 in a New Haven "first issue" ceremony. CC: @NRO @charlescwcooke @jackfowler @jimgeraghty
The nonprofit NGO / Leviathan ecosystem has existed a long, long time. The 1975 Senate Church Committee discovered that nearly half of all international grants from U.S. foundations between 1963 and 1966 were secretly funded by the CIA. Separately: Rockefeller, Carnegie, and…
George Mason University maintains racially segregated "affinity groups" for all racial groups, except whites and Jews—in open violation of the Civil Rights Act. The president of George Mason should resign, or face significant federal civil rights penalties.
The pit bull boom compounds the problem. Pit bulls now make up 6% of dogs but 66% of fatal dog attacks—often on toddlers in their own homes. Cities like DC passed laws banning breed restrictions in housing. The result? You can’t legally keep them out of your elevator
Should I hire the “culturally attuned talent” from India and make short film or publish piece documenting the entire grift end-to-end?
You should hire one of these guys and then do a documentary on it
We asked readers how they prefer their Coca-Cola. Only 2.8% chose high-fructose corn syrup over cane sugar. trib.al/5B0kxPb
“Liberty and equality are antithetical. Every increase in equality brings with it a diminution in liberty.” From Stephen Tonsor: modernagejournal.com/equality-3/243…
“He loved liberty as other men love power,” was the judgment passed on Benjamin Constant by a contemporary. His lifelong concern, both as a writer and politician, was the growth of human freedom. | Ralph Raico mises.org/mises-daily/be…
Elizabeth Anscombe, one of the great philosophers of the twentieth century and an uncompromising defender of the lives of the unborn and of noncombatants, being arrested outside an abortion clinic at which she was protesting.
