How have America’s universities become hotbeds of rabid Islamist rhetoric, foaming-at-the-mouth Jew-hate, and flat-out anti-American insanity? It’s simple. It was purchased with Arab money. Oh, Academia was primed for that sort of crap, since those beliefs are its default, but for a long time was some rough balance. Academia actually had a vibrant, if small…

The Morning Rant: Boeing Is Floundering
There is nothing remotely troubling about corporations raising money on the debt markets. It’s smart financial planning in many cases, doesn’t dilute the stock price like issuing more shares, and with a steady revenue stream the cost of the money raised is easily managed. And it benefits the economy by providing a reasonable return that…
Blue-On-Blue Fighting! Cheer For Casualties On Both Sides!
The Kennedy family is bathed in the blood of others: from Joe Kennedy’s bootlegging criminality that built the foundations of their sordid little empire, to JFK’s expansion of America’s presence in Vietnam and cowardice in the face of communist expansion in our hemisphere , to the execrable Ted Kennedy’s destruction of our immigration system, serial…
The Morning Rant: Distorted Labor Markets, Courtesy Of Our Idiot Legislators
Who could possibly have predicted this shockingly unexpected result of increasing labor costs via government mandate? The idea that if wages go up, demand for workers will decrease and the price of goods and services will increase is insane! No economist could have foreseen this Black Swan event! There is simply no experience anywhere in…
The Morning Rant: Jews Need To Fight
The archetype of the European Jew has subsumed the reality of worldwide Jewry. Scholarly, studious, non-confrontational, more interested in the intellectual than the physical. And of course the prevailing historical truism that millions of Jews went meekly to the slaughter from 1933 to 1945. And this well-meaning fool accepts the paradigm that Jews don’t fight,…
The Freedom Ratchet Only Goes One Way, And It’s The Wrong Way
Facial Recognition. Digital IDs. Electronic Funds. License Plate Readers. Surveillance Cameras. Internet Usage Tracking. National Gun Database. You name the technology program, and the odds are that it will reduce individual freedom. Where are the robust safeguards against government misuse of all of these data? They do not exist, except as a throwaway comment from…
The Morning Rant
I don’t much care how NPR is funded. I know that it gets public money. They are welcome to play accounting games and lie to the American people, but the fact remains that CPB (Corporation for Public Broadcasting) gets several hundred million dollars from the federal government, and that means that we are paying this…
Israel War
By most measures, the Iranian attack on Israel was a colossal failure. It demonstrated that Iranian technology is at least one generation behind Israel’s and the West’s, and it also showed how well several Western-armed forces managed a combined military response. There were no friendly-fire incidents…that in itself is impressive. So what is next? Should…
The Israel War
UN chief calls for maximum restraint after Iran’s attack on Israel Guterres, speaking to a meeting of the UN Security Council, told member states that the UN charter bars the use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state as he condemned Iran’s attack on Israel and warned against further escalation….
Watermelons vs. Traditional Progressives: Internecine Warfare At The NY Times!
There’s not much better than a nasty little spat in the newsroom of the Old Gray Whore. All of those earnest little communists being pumped out by the “elite” J schools yearn to work for the NYT and transform the fourth estate into the masturbatory fantasies they had in college. Unfortunately for them, and fortunate…
