Russians are now sending weapons to Fiji in an effort further to destabilize the region. It’s crucial for Russia that there is as much instability as possible everywhere in the world.
Prissy tone-policing is not just a Liberal thing. See Christie flip out over an innocent touch of levity on Rubio’s part.
An anti-Semitic history professor might have been an ISIS recruiter.
How can anybody trust economics if it’s such an ideological field?
In spite of the sentimental idealization they are so often subjected to, hunter-gatherers were just as violent as later civilizations.
[Russian] Russian racists have a bizarre fixation on antibellum South.
There are many annoying things about Rod Dreher, not the least of which is his pathological hatred of women, but this is good, insightful writing: “It frustrated me to no end that reason was useless; “ideologically unmoored cultural passions” weren’t just something, they were the only thing. This was a tribal conservatism, one that had very little to do with ideas, and everything to do with nationalism and a sense of us-versus-them. To be a conservative is to agree with Us; to disagree with us means you must be a liberal.” Of course, the same can be said about Liberals.
“21.5 percent – The probability that a white, middle-age, college-educated American is a millionaire.” And still, people whine and moan and feel massively sorry for themselves. Truly, a wondrous country.
Rapist Holtzclaw has been sentenced to 263 years in jail. I hope all the losers who belly ached about “the all-white jury” that was supposedly eager to acquit at least have the decency to feel some shame.

“Less than 2% of the people in America hold Ph.Ds. Those with doctorates are regularly asked their opinion on societal issues. When Ph.Ds. speak, people listen. Regardless of what discipline your degree is in, people believe that you should know the answer to everything, no matter how absurd that may sound. You have forfeited your right to say “I don’t know.” Once you graduate you will be looked upon by many people as a member of society’s elite.” All true. It’s both flattering and scary, and I totally dig it.
The so-called “holistic admissions criteria” suck! They are a horrible idea!
