Fueling Fires

Never one to refrain from pouring gasoline on any racial fire, promoting racial division, or invoking and exploiting racial identity politics, former president Obama today cited an incident in Central Park, comparing it to the death of George Floyd in Minnesota, a death which has sparked violent rioting and caused at least one other death.

The War on White Males

After the past few weeks, who doesn’t have PTSD? The Kavanaugh confirmation process has left everyone in the country stressed, whether they were for Kavanaugh or against him. At least those of us who support the rule of law, the Constitution, and our Republic have the satisfaction of knowing that justice has prevailed (as the Justice has prevailed).

Progressive Fascism

There’s a dangerous trend in this country where progressives, having unilaterally normalized their own political point of view, now do everything they can, by any means necessary, to prevent other people from voicing opposing points of view. 

We see this on college campuses, where “snowflakes” become “triggered” simply by learning that perhaps someone with whom they disagree may be invited to speak on campus; and so to protect their fellow students from “heresy”, the snowflakes protest (or riot) until the person with the opposing view is silenced, one way or another.

Out of Africa? Political Correctness and Science

Regular readers may know that I’m wont to joke that we are all African-Americans, and so should be eligible for minority set-asides, scholarships and/or reparations (should they ever be awarded). My joke is based upon the prevailing hypothesis about the origin of modern Homo sapiens sapiens.  Personally, I’ve never accepted the Out of Africa model (aka single replacement), but it’s been the favored scientific “wisdom” for some time. The proposals of Milford H. Wolpoff, who advances the multiregional hypothesis, have always seemed to make more sense, but even that model envisions Africa as our ultimate homeland.
