Tea and Racial Sympathy

Hey, white people! Have you had your “racial sympathy index” measured lately? Or ever? No? Nazis! Well, whether you know it or not, the “racial sympathy index” is a thing. Is it a good thing? Take a wild guess. Jennifer Chudy is an assistant professor of political science and the Knafel ...

Feet of Clay Stamping on a Human Face

In last week’s column, after months of being stonewalled I finally confronted one of the authors of a “scientific study” that purported to prove that last summer’s BLM riots actually made the Covid pandemic better. Last year, that study was paraded around like a victorious quarterback atop ...

BLM and Covid: Dissecting a Questionable Study

“Scientists” don’t impress me. I’m the progeny of one of the best of ’em, and I know how the sausage is made. A smart enough “scientist” can finesse any study to reflect a predetermined conclusion. Scientists go where the grant money is. And they go where the government and corporate ...

Follow the Science…Off a Cliff

Meet Paul Goldner. Paul Goldner is a jerk. Paul Goldner is also a teacher, which makes him a dangerous jerk. He’s a high school physics teacher in Newbury, Mass., and a Triton Regional School District Committee member. Paul Goldner wants to keep schools closed. He’s an obedient leftist who ...

How Do You Solve a Problem Like a MAGA Part II: Tard Harder

There are two courses of action that MAGAs can take in the wake of the debacle that was 1/6: learn from one of the worst strategic disasters in American political history, or, conversely, don’t learn a damn thing. Because what’s a mistake if not something to deny and repeat? That’s the ...

How Do You Solve a Problem Like a MAGA?

Sometimes you chase the story, and sometimes the story chases you. Two weeks ago I’m walkin’ through Century City, the business, residential, and dining district adjoining Beverly Hills. This is familiar territory to me; it’s home. So I know— Wait a minute...isn’t that the exact same ...

Well, That Went Great

Fucking idiots. Oh, did I violate the unwritten rule that crass language is most effectively employed as punctuation for effect rather than, say, an opening statement? If so, my apologies. Now back to the cussing. “Fuck you...WAR.” Thousands of you tweeted that old Breitbart clip last week, ...

George Soros

Soros Soars, GOP Cowards Cower

I devoted my Dec. 15 column to newly elected Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón and his benefactor George Soros. Gascón has one goal: to put the people of L.A. at the mercy of criminals. He’s the face of anarcho-tyranny, and George Soros is the wallet. The night after my column, ...

Dr. Kizzmekia Corbett

Dr. Kizzmekia Corbett Presents “Wacky Vaxxers!”

If I were Dr. Kizzmekia Corbett, I’d cool it with the boasting. I’m a bit more weathered and wizened than the 34-year-old immunologist currently being touted as the “curer of Covid,” and one lesson I’ve gleaned from my many years on this earth is that life loves comedic setups and ...
