This one really threw me for a loop, though I can’t say I’m entirely surprised. I was chatting with a sheep (sorry, I just can’t give up the word) the other day, and when I posed the obvious question—“Don’t you want to preserve your freedoms as an individual in…
“Timing, not haste, drives what will happen next.” —Thomas Sowell Minneapolis, the sucking chest wound on America’s body politic, gets a break this week from Gawda’mighty, who is turning the heat down to subzero so that ICE-Watch nose-rings can hole-up in their Soros-paid motels, play League of Legends with their DoorDashed…
The thought begins with anxiety, a tightening of language around color, lineage, numbers, graphs, and futures imagined as shrinking rooms. Preserve, the word says, as if glass already surrounds something fragile, as if history were a museum and blood a specimen. The desire speaks in the language of emergency.
If you’ve never watched this, it takes less than two minutes, and it’s a nice piece of framework: In her much-discussed essay a few months ago, Helen Andrews argued that American institutions have been feminized. Talking about tendencies and averages — “feminine patterns of behavior” — rather…
Twaddle to the right, twaddle to the left, and not a drop to drink. In contemplating China’s meteoric rise (though on thought I am not sure that meteors rise) Americans usually attribute it to cheap labor or theft of intellectual property or unfair governmental subsidies. But our religious faith…
Minneapolis, once a bastion of Scandinavian and Midwestern homogeneity, now grapples with the fallout of unchecked mass immigration. Somali welfare dependency strains resources and cultural clashes erupt daily. Recent ICE controversies have exposed the rot: aggressive raids targeting criminal Somali networks in the Cedar-Riverside “Little Mogadishu” neighborhood sparked outrage from refugee…
The Western media, of course, fail to report the significant domestic support the Iranian regime enjoys in its opposition to Israel and America. Is Trump serious about what many consider imminent airstrikes on Iran? From his administration’s perspective, the campaign against Iran is achieving its intended result: sowing chaos…
It’s the craziest thing. For four years, European “leaders” have puffed out their chests and proclaimed that Russia would be defeated in Ukraine. The preservation of the “rules-based international order,” they’ve told us repeatedly, requires that Russian-speaking peoples be deprived of self-determination and remain part of a post-Cold War-constructed…
I recently saw an article about Minnesota in Time Magazine from 1973 called “Minnesota: A State That Works,” a cover story, with a photo of then-Governor Wendell Anderson. “An extraordinarily successful society,” said Time. “Politics is almost unnaturally clean,” it added. Folks who move to the state say:…
For years now, the H-1B debate has been sold to us as a tech-company issue or a skills argument. But what doesn’t get talked about is how much of the H-1B pipeline starts long before the lottery or the job offers and way before the actual paperwork gets filled…
