Long before Donald Trump took up residence in the White House, he was a celebrity billionaire who rode his populism to defeat Hillary Clinton. But as William McGurn points out in the WSJ, a funny thing happened to DT once he became president. At some point he understood that if he was not to fizzle […]
The Silent Protest Against Political Correctness
Is there a connection between shrinking profits and being vocally progressive? Damian Reilly makes the case in Spectator USA about the “gap between what people think and what they believe they are meant to think,” as Douglas Murray puts it. A silent protest against political correctness seems to be occurring within “the privacy of places.” […]
Why Election Forecasting Will Never Be a Science
Yes models can be helpful, but there are too many “known unknowns.” Despite ongoing efforts to create elaborate predictive election forecasting models, “they are only as good as the assumptions built into them,” Henry Olson reminds readers of American Greatness. In 2016, for example, Slate’s Sasha Issenberg, whom Mr. Olson refers to as “the apostle […]
Sanctuary Cities Signal U.S. Immigration Law Can be Ignored
When one law is not enforced, all sorts of other laws are weakened, explains Victor Davis Hanson in American Greatness. For example, “sanctuary cities” don’t just forbid full immigration enforcement in particular jurisdictions. Sanctuary cities are a signal that U.S. Immigration law, and other laws by extension, can be ignored. Worse still, continues VDH, one […]
Why Journalists Are Personally Wounded and Offended by Trump
“He baits them. And they dive in,” comedian Jon Stewart, referring to President Trump and the media, opined during a interview with CNN’s Christiane Amanpour on Tuesday. What he’s done well is appeal to their own narcissism, to their own ego. The journalists stand up and say: ‘We are noble! We are honorable! How dare […]
Muslim Women Dressed Like “Cousin Itt” from the Addams Family
Is free speech in Europe bowing to Muslim Sharis? Here is Tarod Gray’s take at Taki’s Magazine: In the struggle to balance the “right to freedom of expression with the right of others to have their religious feelings protected,” the court found that native Europeans need to shut their pale pink infidel mouths if they […]
Diffusing the Halloween Minefield with Humor
In case you haven’t heard, Megyn Kelly, the “annoying broadcaster” who has spent her life misspelling her name (according to Takimag), has been taken to task for suggesting on her failing TV show that blackface is O.K. at Halloween. O.K. If America can’t tolerate Megyn Kelly, whom will it tolerate, Jay Nordlinger asks in NRO. […]
America’s Melting Pot – Assimilation, Intermarriage, Integration
The Caravan from Central America, apparently 1,000 miles from the U.S. border, is providing a great source for staged midterm theatrics. Furthermore, the Caravan illustrates the abject ironies and paradoxes of the entire illegal alien project, notes Victor Davis Hanson in American Greatness. Immigrants, the ancestors of most of us, enriched our food, music, fashion, […]
Who Organized and Fronted the Immigrant Caravan?
Thousands of people are reportedly traveling from Central America to the U.S. borders and no one is asking, never mind answering: How have thousands, including women and children, been able to cover 445 miles in 10 days? Who organized them? Who is providing funding? It’s true that there is much poverty and violence, but poverty […]
Pipe Bombs and Politicians? Why Trust the Media?
“The political Left has been known to orchestrate frame-up attacks designed to make it appear that right-leaning opponents are responsible for violent acts and plots,” writes Andrew C. McCarthy in NRO. As Mr. McCarthy then notes, if he had written the above paragraph in the context of reporting or commenting on the pipe bombs that […]
