Prove You’re Not ‘Easily Led,’ Evangelicals!

In 1986, The New York Times described evangelicals as "more easily led than other kinds of voters." Then in 1993, The Washington Post reported that evangelicals were "largely poor, uneducated and easy to command." (The Washington Post issued a correction; the Times did not.) For the past week, the ...

Mark Cuban

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 ...

Flooded With Good Intentions

Sen. John Kennedy is upset because Sen. Rand Paul wants to limit federal flood insurance. But Paul is right. In my new video, Paul says, "(It) shouldn't be for rich people." That should be obvious. Actually, federal flood insurance shouldn't be for anyone. Government has no business offering it. ...

The Putz and the Pendulum

My 2023 word of the year was “intractable”—problems that aren’t going away. Dysgenic black America, the Israel/Palestinian conflict. Every proposed “final solution” is a fantasy (“national divorce!” “White homeland!” “Two-State!” “From the river to the sea!”). So now I ...

This festive break’s big Christmas and New Year U.S. movie release, Freud’s Last Session, stars Anthony Hopkins as Sigmund Freud, telling the story of the “great” psychoanalyst’s meeting with the rather more genuinely insightful author C.S. Lewis, and their debates about whether or not ...

The Week That Perished

The Week’s Most Shaking, Baking, and Resolution-Breaking Headlines PLATE OUTTA COMPTON As Governor Newsom rolls out statewide free healthcare for all illegals, Californians who complain are scolded about how immigrants are needed because their “food is better.” Well, immigrants giveth and ...

Are you a MAKER or a TAKER?

Politicians are often takers. They take our money (and freedom) in the name of achieving goals they rarely achieve. Elon Musk and Sen. Elizabeth Warren may be the best examples of maker and taker. They're the stars of my video this week. Warren shouts, "Tax the rich!" She especially wants to ...

The Food Police

The world, said James Boswell, is not to be made a great hospital; but to a hammer everything is a nail, and to doctors and medical journals everything is either a medical problem or a medical solution. Looking at the website of the Journal of the American Medical Association today, I came across ...

Black Women in Charge

The Claudine Gay affair reminds me that we need a reckoning on how the "intersectionality" project is going. The idea was that after centuries of being kept down by racism and sexism -- although that didn't seem to hurt accomplished black women like Barbara Jordan, Condi Rice, Jessye Norman, Zora ...

Democracy in Name Only

The word “democracy” comes from the Greek, but when the system was first used, it was a selective one, with men of means being the only ones eligible to vote. It has come a long way since, with American lefty busybodies trying to give the vote even to illegal migrants who have more or less ...
