Joe Rogan’s Endorsement of Bernie Makes Zero Sense
Though I’m not a regular listener to Joe Rogan’s podcast, when I do tune in I find him to be refreshingly open-minded, smart, and engaging. But Rogan’s stated justification for voting for Bernie Sanders makes no sense:
I think I'll probably vote for Bernie . . . He’s been insanely consistent his entire ...

A Nation of Barbers
It seems almost inevitable that long hair is unwelcome at Barbers Hill High School.
There’s a touch of aptronymic poetry in Texas public-school dress-code disputes. When I was in school in the 1980s, at the height of the Satanism panic, the local school-district superintendent circulated a list of ...

Clarence Thomas Speaks
Those who know Justice Clarence Thomas say that any perception of him as dour or phlegmatic couldn't be more off-base. He's a charming, gracious, jovial man, full of bonhomie and easy with a laugh, or so I'm told by people who know him well. On summer breaks he likes to roam around the country in an RV and stay ...

Nadler’s Folly
Jerry Nadler must have missed the day in law school where they teach you about persuasion. The House Democrat made a critical error early in the trial of President Trump. He didn’t just say that Republican senators, who voted to begin the proceedings without calling witnesses, were part of a cover-up. He said ...

To the 1619 Project: Use More Art, Less Fake History
The 1619 Project, prepared by the New York Times and the Pulitzer Foundation, has taken plenty of hits for factual and intellectual sloppiness and its elevation of ideology -- its high-end race baiting -- over historical truth. The Project, published in August 2019 as a 100-page standalone issue of the New York ...
