EXCLUSIVE: According to a whistleblower, @LockheedMartin awarded employee bonuses “on the basis of their skin color alone and contrary to documented performance." In one case, the company forced managers to remove 18 whites from the bonus list and replace them with 18 "POC." 🧵
Might be an unpopular opinion, but I find Hunter Biden to be an utterly compelling anti-hero. He is honest about his own flaws and sees right through the corruption and artifice of the elite Dem milieu. In a world of thieves, Hunter gets his cut. x.com/i/status/19473…
Hunter Biden breaks down the difference between crack & cocaine and why crack is so addictive
White guilt was the monster that the clashes of the 1960s produced. It has yet to be dealt with to this day. Far too many Americans have preferred the virtue they gained from white guilt -- virtue gained by dissociating from America's racist past -- and they have remained…
Richard Nixon describing the 1960s
Also: "When schools and colleges were transformed from molders of youth to temples of youth, educators abrogated the responsibility to share the wisdom that can only come from having read more, studied more, suffered more, and triumphed more than young people. In the sixties and…
Nixon began the counterrevolution against the administrative state. President Trump must finish it.
It's like a title fight of ideologies, heteropatriarchy vs. heterofatalism
HxA is a co-belligerent in the fight against full-blown woke education, but they still only want to return to the John Dewey-esque progressive model of a century ago. We are not the same at @uaustinorg.
Heterodox Academy is baffling. It's been around for ten years, hasn't accomplished much of anything, then feels the need to lash out at those of us who have scored real-world wins, generally in the same direction. The main conceit is that Heterodox still believes academia can…
Hot take: the fact that world-class scholars like Jim Hankins (one of the very, very few non-progressive humanists at Harvard College) are willing to move from Harvard to Florida is a more fundamental long-term threat to the university than any of its current legal problems.
The University of Florida is the new leader in the study of Western and American civilization. So-called elite universities have abandoned the study of Western culture and politics over the last 25 years, and that betrayal has given other institutions the opportunity to create…
HxA is a hospice for liberal academics. Sad!
I wholeheartedly agree @realchrisrufo. Many of its members are castrated and cowardly academics who wish to signal that they are doing something when in reality they are part of the problem. They never take costly stances. They speak with the same Progressive Lisp as the rest…

This is precisely the kind of partisan, juvenile slop that led to Colbert's unprofitability and, in time, will lead Jon Stewart to the same place. "Yelling expletives at Trump with a gospel choir" is not clever or entertaining. It's garbage.
My statement on The Manhattan Statement on Higher Education, of which I am a proud signatory @realchrisrufo @ManhattanInst @TheFP @agoge_classical Link in reply
Fantastic letter of support for the Manhattan Statement from @uaustinorg, which is pioneering a new model for higher education. UATX's new president, Carlos Carvalho, is a brilliant mind, capable leader, and tough under pressure. A great new institution.
Apparently last week @staceyabrams attacked me @realchrisrufo and @StephenM by saying that we don’t like wheelchair access, that we’re trying to undo 249 years of "progress" and that we unfairly focus on "people of color" as we eliminate DEI. I have a challenge for Stacey. Let’s…
The irony is that Trump is not a cultural conservative, but has advanced the Right’s cultural agenda much further than the “principled conservatives” that came before him. They promised; Trump delivered. There’s a lesson in there.
Katherine Maher has been an incredible asset for conservatives. It's as if we built an AI bot on the most ridiculous over-the-top Fox News parody of a "woke liberal" and asked it to pump out 29,400 tweets.
Today, NPR finally loses its taxpayer funding. So, to celebrate here’s a collection of their far-left CEO’s greatest hits. Brace yourself.
