The Other McCain

"One should either write ruthlessly what one believes to be the truth, or else shut up." — Arthur Koestler

‘A Massive Problem’: Free Speech for People Who Don’t Want Open Borders

Max Wilkinson is member of the British House of Commons, one of 72 members belonging to the Liberal Democrats, currently the third-largest party behind the ruling Labour majority (which holds 404 seats) and the Conservatives (Tories, with 116 seats). In December, Wilkinson “enjoyed a lively debate at the Demos Collaborative Democracy Network event,” where he […]

Thinking About Mogadishu

Last night, I was inspired to watch Black Hawk Down again, although I’ve seen it many times before, including during its original 2001 release. Perhaps you’ve forgotten this from 2022: Staff Sgt. Robert McCain wanted to be in the Army for as long as his mother can remember. But McCain remembers exactly when he knew […]

An Unjustified Arrogance

The word “diplomat” is often a synonym for spy. The functions of diplomacy and espionage are so closely intertwined that if someone’s resumé includes a stint at the State Department, you are not wrong to suspect them of also being a CIA operative. Over the past decade, Americans have learned that our “intelligence community” does […]

Guess What Time It Is, ‘Iranian Leaders’?

Do me a favor: Somebody translate this into Farsi, and bring it to the attention of the surviving “leadership” in Tehran, because they obviously don’t know what time it is — it’s time to quit, fellows: The U.S. military is preparing to deploy at least 1,000 troops from the 82nd Airborne Division to the Middle […]

Why Is Lindy West Getting Cancelled?

Most people — even people who follow politics closely — never figured out that the Great Feminist Boom of 2014-2017 was not a coincidence. All the institutions of academia and media did not suddenly decide to the embrace and promote #feminist brand by accident. No, that cultural moment was organized to support the Right Side […]

Scandal-Plagued Former FBI Chief Robert Mueller Dies in Disagrace at Age 81

De mortuis nil nisi bonum is always wise policy, which Democrats never follow whenever one of their enemies die. Democrats hate without apology, but become indignant if Republicans return the favor. Readers might notice that the headline of this obituary is perhaps not a model of journalistic objectivity, but that’s the whole point. You see, […]

D.E.I. + A.I. = O.M.G.!

One of my sons is a lawyer, and the youngest is currently a first-year law student, and the stories they tell me about the use of AI (artificial intelligence) by both law students and practicing lawyers are disturbing. You may think “fake news” is bad, but fake law is much worse. Last year, I wrote […]

There Is a Reason Why Taboos Exist

You are an intelligent, responsible adult, which is why you’ve never heard of Taylor Frankie Paul. Until Thursday, I hadn’t heard of her either because — as an intelligent, responsible adult — I pay zero attention to “reality TV.” But before getting to her recent failed attempt to break out from that entertainment ghetto, let’s […]
