‘Crash Out Kylie’: How a Queer Feminist Became Famous (Not in a Good Way)

Because I don’t pay much attention to podcasts, I overlooked some delicious drama last year, when an Ivy League-educated “queer feminist” named Kylie Brewer went on the popular “Whatever” show, hosted by Brian Atlas. The show flew her out from Chicago to California for her spotlight appearance, where she was confronted by a well-known Christian […]

The Ivy League Is Decadent and Depraved

Very seldom do I use the same headline twice in one week, but seldom does an idea as monstrously bad as Samuel Monyn’s attract my attention. To summarize as succinctly as possible, Moyn’s argument is this: “Old people have too much stuff. We should kill them and steal their stuff.” Have I exaggerated for the […]

The Ivy League Is Decadent and Depraved

For a decade or so now, I’ve been using that headline — a literary allusion to the famous 1970 article in which Hunter S. Thompson pioneered “Gonzo journalism” — in posts about elite academia. The decadence and depravity are mainly a function of the liberal hegemony on these campuses, where Republicans are so scarce among […]

What Causes Racism?

The answer in two words: Cornell University. Cornell University causes racism: I applied to countless tenure-track positions across the country in 2019 and 2020. One of those applications went to Cornell, for a position in their Neurobiology and Behavior department. Unknown to me, a few months later Cornell initiated a separate search for a faculty […]

‘Selma Envy’ and the Left’s Increasing Embrace of ‘Eliminationist Rhetoric’

For at least 30 years, going back to when I was covering local schools for the Rome (Ga.) News-Tribune, I’ve been worried about how history is taught in America’s education system. This problem was apparent to me by the time our oldest child was in kindergarten, and I didn’t at first fully understand until, working […]

Academia’s DEI ‘Oppression’ Racket and the Demonization of Jews on Campus

Harvard University alumna Dara Horn published a very interesting article in The Atlantic last month talking about the climate on elite campuses, the subject of congressional hearings: The problem was not that Jewish students on American university campuses didn’t want free speech, or that they didn’t want to hear criticism of Israel. Instead, they didn’t […]

Pouncing? Yes, But Also Seizing: GOP Gets Credit for Resignation of Harvard University’s Plagiarist President

Speaking on behalf of the “far right,” I must express our collective gratitude to the media for recognizing our work. Strange as it might seem, some journalists apparently believe it’s a bad thing to force the president of Harvard University to resign amid a plagiarism scandal, which followed close on the heels of Claudine Gay’s […]

BREAKING: Penn’s Magill Resigns

Mere hours after I blogged about this (“‘Context Dependent’: Ivy League President Belatedly Realizes Maybe She Answered That Question About Genocide Wrong”), now the University of Pennsylvania’s embattled President Liz Magill has resigned: University of Pennsylvania President Liz Magill has resigned as president of the university in the wake of intense backlash over her failure […]
