A group of people deciding that everyone who came to hear a speech may not hear it bc they don’t like the speaker is mob censorship. People who claim shout downs are “just #FreeSpeech ” are either being insincere or not thinking through how clear this would be to them if an angry…

A ceasefire is, by definition, bilateral: it requires BOTH parties to cease hostilities.

Israel has agreed to a ceasefire not once but twice. Hamas has rejected a ceasefire not once but twice.

Expect the international community to villainize Israel rather than Hamas. An…

Almost all of investing/finance can be summed up as shorting abundant things and going long scarce things.

And time is the scarcest thing of all. Have a nice weekend!

Israeli military fired 2 officers and punished 3 others for drone strike in Gaza Monday night that killed 7 aid workers from World Central Kitchen.

Reminder: U.S. defense chief Lloyd Austin declined to punish anyone involved in drone strike that killed 10 Afghans, including 7…

There needs to be infrastructure & it needs to be built quickly.

This isn’t 2020. This isn’t a guerilla war anymore.

President Biden, you're treating the war against Israel as if it were another political point of compromise. There is a primary reality: Hamas is a terror organization and they need to give the hostages back.

The Israel-Hamas War discussion between Joe Rogan and Coleman Hughes

I wrote about the book White Rural Rage and the scapegoating of rural people.

I talked to over 20 experts in the field of rural studies and found a pattern of errors, distortions, and misleading uses of scholarship in Schaller and Waldman’s book. It’s egregious.

Buckle up. 🧵

2023 was the worst year for deplatforming on campus on record.

2024 is on target to blow it out of the water.

This is a point I've made a lot. All surveys of PhD students and young faculty that I've seen show that they are more leftwing and illiberal and politically radical than older faculty. The ideological bias on campuses is only going to get worse.

Not a problem. Here are Raytheon and Disney explicitly rejecting 'equality' in favor of 'equity,' which they define verbatim as 'equality of outcome.'

The entire point of the baseball stadium graphic is to argue that society should treat racial groups differently, according to…

The Nation is witnessing the determined delegitimization of both its Federal and State judiciaries and the systematic dismantling of its system of justice and Rule of Law by a single man – the former President of the United States.
