HORRIFYING: Yasmeen Khan, owner of a beauty salon, offered free courses to young Christian and Hindu women to lure them in. Once there, she drugged their drinks. When they lost consciousness, she called her husband Mohammed Khan, who raped them while she stood watch at the entrance.

They recorded the abuses to blackmail them and force them to have relations with more Muslim men. When questioned, Yasmeen justified the crimes by saying that helping to rape "infidel girls" would lead her to Paradise.

This is Islam.

ANNOUNCEMENT: WE’RE SAVING SCIENCE!

We’re often told that science is “self-correcting.”

But that’s not really true.

Science doesn’t correct itself like a thermostat adjusting the temperature in your house. Science is a human institution run by human beings. And human beings are vulnerable to career incentives, groupthink, moral fads, political pressure, and fear.

And when those forces capture academic journals, peer review stops being a filter for bad ideas and starts becoming more of a credentialing system for fashionable nonsense.

This isn’t exactly new.

In 1996, the physicist Alan Sokal managed to publish a totally gibberish article in the journal Social Text full of trendy postmodern jargon. His point was simple: if you flatter the ideological commitments of certain academic editors, nonsense can pass as real scholarship.

Two decades later, @ConceptualJames, @HPluckrose , and @peterboghossian pulled off the “grievance studies” hoax, placing over a half dozen absurd papers in peer-reviewed journals. One paper used dog parks to analyze rape culture and queer performativity. Another rewrote parts of Mein Kampf in the language of feminist theory.

The problem wasn’t just that fake papers got published. It was that they were completely indistinguishable from the real thing.

And today, the problem is even worse.

We now have serious SCIENCE journals publishing papers about feminist lesbians marrying brine shrimp. We have disturbing papers that aim to “queer” and sexualize infants. We have scholarship on “lesbian-queer-trans-canine relationalities” and “trans-dog intimacies.”

But while Clown World papers are concerning because it makes a complete mockery of academia, the same broken, ideologically captured system is also publishing research in legitimate science and medical journals that pushes sex and gender pseudoscience, relies on deeply flawed data, and influences policies on the medical transition of children and young adults.

That’s not funny. That affects real people. It affects medicine. It affects law. It affects children.

And when critics try to respond, they often discover there’s no serious mechanism for correction. Submitted Letters to the Editor often go completely ignored. Contrary evidence is rejected without comment. As a result, the best critiques are often relegated to personal blog posts, social media threads, or newspaper op-eds, while the original paper remains in the literature wearing the armor of “peer review.”

That is untenable.

So Kevin McCaffree, editor-in-chief of Theory and Society (@Theory_Society), and I decided to do something about it.

Today, in the Wall Street Journal, we announced a first-of-its-kind article type called “Peer Review.”

The idea is simple: publication should be the beginning of academic scrutiny, not the end of it.

A Peer Review article can critique a paper from any scholarly journal. It can address problems with methods, evidence, logic, definitions, theory, or interpretation. But it has to focus on the claims and arguments, not personal attacks.

Submissions are capped at 2,500 words and go through a straightforward merit review instead of endless gatekeeping and ideological screening. We ask just one basic question: Is this critique coherent, serious, reasonable, or even popular enough to deserve scholarly attention?

If yes, it gets published.

And the authors of the original paper get a built-in right of reply, so readers can see the critique and the response in a legitimate academic venue.

That’s how science is supposed to work.

Science becomes self-correcting only when real people build the mechanisms that allow correction to happen.
That’s what we’ve done.

Now it’s time for academics to use it.

I know, I know, it was so crazy your instinct is to think, ‘No, there’s no way that happened,’ even if you were front row for the whole thing.

A zombie belief I frequently encounter in woke papers is that there's a tenure-track hiring bias against women in STEM.

A new paper combining all research on faculty ratings for identical CVs for men vs. women show that not only is this belief false, the opposite is true.

[Grok @grok]

The Emancipation Proclamation was a constitutional war powers move targeting only rebel-held areas to disrupt the Confederacy—Lincoln lacked authority to free slaves in Union border states without due process or amendment. He explicitly backed the 13th Amendment for total, permanent abolition, which Republicans passed in 1865. Slavery ended with ratification; no verified historical record shows Northern merchants colluding with the federal government to sustain it two years postwar. Context clarifies steps toward abolition, not endorsement.

🚨 REP. WESLEY HUNT (R-TX) just gave the PERFECT response:

Q: There won't be any black Republicans left in the House?

HUNT: "It's not relevant."

"I'm not here because I'm black."

"I am here because I am a qualified representative for Congressional District 38."

"The American people choose who they want to choose."

"I don't want to get into this game of RACE BAIT all day, every day."

"If there's 4? If there's 10? If there's NONE."

"I represent a white majority district that President Trump would have won by over 20 points, and I won by over 25 points."

"I'm being judged not by the color of my skin, but the content of my character."

Whenever I had rare opportunity to go on liberal media to discuss violent extremism by Antifa & the far-left, liberals would cite fatally flawed research that says right-wing violence is the real problem. @bungarsargon explains the flaws in that research:

[FBI Director Kash Patel @FBIDirectorKash]

Massive, global scam center takedown led by @FBI with our great federal and international partners results in 276 arrests and at least 9 scam center takedowns.

These centers were used for cryptocurrency and investment fraud schemes against American citizens and involved losses of millions.

This involved unprecedented cooperation between FBI and interagency partners, Dubai Police, and Chinese Ministry of Public Security.

Brilliant work from @FBISanDiego and HSTF partners executing.

As both President of Princeton University and the immediate past Chair of the Association of American Universities Board of Directors, Chris Eisgruber has a powerful voice in the academic world. And at least thus far, Princeton has been only a minor target of government investigations of antisemitism.

South Africa won’t allow Starlink to be licensed, even though I was BORN THERE, simply because I am not Black!

We were offered many times the opportunity to bribe our way to a license by pretending that a Black guy runs Starlink SA, but I have refused to do so on principle.

Racism should not be rewarded no matter to which race it is applied.

Shame on the racist politicians in South Africa. They should be shown no respect whatsoever anywhere in the world and shunned for being unashamedly RACISTS!
