@moveincircles @unherd The problem with women in combat is that cowardice is no shame to a woman, just as unchastity is no shame to a man. Men don't run away from the enemy because they are more afraid of that shame than they are of death. Women have nothing like that motivation.

Their reporting of the General Flynn case shows that the media figure they don’t need to worry about credibility when they have so much blind faith on their side. https://t.co/CzwwZwWgjv

For people who violate the rules that they themselves have formulated or with which they themselves are otherwise identified, there must be something of the thrill of the rebellion in heaven by Lucifer and his angels. https://t.co/24qyu5ZStL

If “the Truth” is your brand, then it isn’t the truth anymore. https://t.co/papqDgPZa8

It’s not just the corona virus. There’s no bad thing in the world that The New York Times can’t find a way to blame on President Trump — even its own mistakes in arithmetic. https://t.co/B9PO2gCnaG

Impeachment appears to have been a complete disaster for Joe Biden; it’s also a disaster for the Democratic narrative about “the deep state” which, until it became heroic, didn’t exist. https://t.co/1vMJpxH07q

Should we see the David Copperfield as created by Charles Dickens as the beneficiary of "white privilege"? Possibly. But if he is so seen, he’s no longer the David Copperfield as created by Charles Dickens but somebody else, traveling under his brand name. https://t.co/nTfV8XPzZF

Political rhetoric — on both sides of the political fence but preponderantly on the Democratic side — is increasingly detached from political reality. Or haven’t you noticed it yet? https://t.co/wZX2mlP2ym

Nancy Pelosi makes a pretty pussy-footing sort of Thomas Paine, but she certainly doesn’t want the Revolution to leave her behind. https://t.co/8pSNmifnwp

I’m nobody! Who are you?
If white or male, you’re nobody too.
To join the swampy gang who croak
You’ve got to be both young and woke.

It’s the age-old question: is The New York Times’s newsroom only head cheer-leader for the Revolution or is it actually leading it? https://t.co/QnEgZtoOMi

Should politicians have to pass a legal test for the purity of their motives on top of mere compliance with the law? If so, we know how such a test will always come out, don’t we?. https://t.co/2O0Nfv18ID

Is Donald Trump responsible for mass shootings? It’s a theory, but one that suggests to me the prior and better claim to responsibility of our most self-important and self-righteous newspaper columnists. https://t.co/vOBIY6rNFK

Do the media ever think of the damage their obsession with scandal is doing to our politics? Yes, but only when scandal threatens to touch one of their own. https://t.co/KwviLdCpgg

The media will go to their graves like beds, apparently, in the sure and certain knowledge that Robert Mueller, after all, got the goods on Donald Trump. https://t.co/7Ekrhft7pP

Not even his friends and supporters are prepared to believe that Joe Biden’s carefully considered — *very* carefully considered — position on abortion owes anything to moral considerations.

Is Joe Biden’s “character” bad enough for him to be a viable candidate for the presidency? https://t.co/Z5Xc6PmBQu

[James V. Bowman @JamesVBowman]

I don’t imagine it will come as any shock that the New York Times’s concern either for the fate of Julian Assange or for that of our brave intelligence services and their confidential sources of information is entirely disinterested. https://t.co/mZxN4zeX6o

Do liberal Democrats run the media? Or do the liberal media run the Democrats? https://t.co/an2A2oNSVF

@charlesmurray Of course masculinity is toxic. So is bleach and Warfarin. But all can be life-saving when taken as directed.
