The Times They Are a-Changin’

Why is Trump ahead in the polls over Biden, even though several traditional measures of electoral viability suggest the incumbent should be in good shape? For example, the Dow Jones average was over 38,000 on Monday. I can recall when Dow 36,000 was considered an ironic joke. A fairly sensible ...

The Blame Game

One of the stranger aspects of the long-running American affirmative action debate is that both supporters and critics of racial quotas seldom admit in public how scarce blacks would be in cognitively elite institutions without the now traditional massive thumb on the scale in their favor. Liberal ...

What’s the New Current Thing?

I’m not much in the business of making predictions about the future, because it’s hard enough to understand what’s happening in the present. I don’t forecast the next big thing so much as try to notice the current thing. My goal is to be a historian of the present. Back in May 2013, I ...

The Kansas City Question

Last week’s Super Bowl parade shooting in Kansas City in which one was killed and 22 wounded was another validation of both Coulter’s and Sailer’s Laws of Mass Shootings. Ann devised her insight back in 2015 after two Muslim terrorists of Pakistani origin murdered fourteen at a government ...

Latinos and the Law

Nature and Nurture in the NFL

This Sunday’s Super Bowl between the San Francisco 49ers and the Kansas City Chiefs includes a fun cast of characters, such as Christian McCaffrey, Patrick Mahomes, Nick Bosa, Travis Kelce, and Taylor Swift, straight out of countless posts I’ve done over the years about stereotypes, exceptions ...

The Ever-Present Questions

The race-IQ question remains the most controversial in all of American discourse. In this column, however, I’m going to step back from my hectic and hilarious week dismantling the tweets of outraged midwit Will Stancil, who has been inadvertently conducting a one-man marketing campaign for my new ...

Unnecessary Deaths

I have good news and bad news. Murders and fatal car crashes fell last year to the lowest point of the Bloody 2020s. You’ll be hearing a lot about the homicide decline because it’s thought to be in Joe Biden’s interest. For example, last week The Atlantic trumpeted: Last year, the crime and ...

Drowning in Data

I think I’ve stumbled upon one type of education that actually would effectively reduce an unfortunate racial gap. Most forms of instruction don’t, of course. In the first dozen years of this century, billionaires such as Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg and politicians like George W. Bush and ...

Mark Cuban: The Bumptious Billionaire

It’s a striking aspect of how out-of-fashion Diversity-Inclusion-Equity has suddenly become in the wake of Claudine Gay’s ouster as the president of Harvard that the most prominent person to take to Twitter to defend DIE has been Mark Cuban: DEI does not mean you dont hire on merit. Of course ...
