The Mellon Foundation just spent $1.5M to help the American Association of University Professors’ Isaac Kamola “name and shame” and delegitimize the new classical civics schools at UF and UT Austin—rare outposts of sanity teaching Western civ and viewpoint diversity inside otherwise leftist-dominated universities.

Here's a list of the reasons women provide for why they got an abortion.
The least common explanation was incest, followed by rape. The most common was that having a baby would be a lot to handle.
No, Pope Leo, you are wrong. Al-Andalus wasn't an interfaith utopia, it was 800 years of jizya, beheaded monks, forced conversions, and Maimonides fleeing for his life. You're peddling a fairy tale that gets Christians killed.

Mohsen Mahdawi is 34 years old.
He first enrolled at Birzeit University in the West Bank in 2008 and studied there for six years. In 2018 he enrolled as an undergraduate at Lehigh University in Pennsylvania. He stayed there until 2021, and never earned a credential despite enrolling as a seventh year senior and being a full time student there for four years. Despite this extremely suspicious academic record, he was admitted as a transfer to Columbia University — a school which rejects over 97% of applicants — where he attended as an undergraduate for another four years.
Columbia’s rules explicitly state that students must be progressing toward an on-time graduation, but they accepted Mahdawi as an eleventh year undergraduate and allowed him to remain a student in good standing even though he was evidently not maintaining a full course load. His student status was a pretext; he was acting as a full-time anti-American, anti-Jewish and pro-terrorism activist. Since he claims to be a Palestinian refugee, it is unclear who was paying his tuition or providing for his rent and expenses in New York City while he was engaged in subverting American institutions.
He finally earned a bachelor’s degree in May 2025 from one of the top five American universities after 17 years as an undergraduate and was accepted to a master’s program at Columbia even though the State Department was already trying to deport him on national security grounds.
Democrats at every level fought hard to keep him in the country.
I don't know what Piketty, Stiglitz, and co. are smoking. Global poverty rates have never been lower. Progress on basic global health and wellbeing measures has been amazing over the past few decades. "End of the road"?!? Come again!?!

As a reviews editor, I once gave a critical race book to a big-name CRT reviewer. A basic criteria of our reviews is that reviewers point out strength AND weaknesses of the book, even for fantastic books.
But over a year later, this reviewer (who clearly had not ...
We’ve got Germans roaming the South talking about how awesome America is while Owens and Carlson try to convince you a dictatorship overrun with alcholics, a 75% divorce rate, and church attendance less than France is a traditionalist paradise.
Wild.
Incredibly, it never seems to occur to Moraff that *he is the establishment.* Moraff went to Brown and has a JD from Yale, and he’s been working in Democratic politics for a decade. He has the ability to show up at someone’s house and say “we’ll raise you a million dollars”... that’s not something most people can do!

BREAKING NEWS: Australia's public broadcaster ABC News just accused @elonmusk of ''inciting racial tension'' in Belfast because he did not censor footage showing a Sudanese refugee attempting to behead someone.
They're angrier at Elon than at the stabber.
FOUR YEARS AGO TODAY: Felix Ngole is told his job offer is withdrawn unless he commits to "promoting and embracing" LGBT ideology
After being expelled from his social work course in 2016 for quoting verses on Facebook that oppose homosexuality, Felix Ngole finally won his case in the Court of Appeal in 2019 with our legal support.
But in 2022, this win came back to haunt him.
After applying for a job as a social worker with Touchstone Support Leeds, Felix gained the highest marks of any candidate on an equality and diversity assessment, and was offered the role of Mental Health Support Worker.
Then, Touchstone Support Leeds found out about Felix's free speech win in his previous case, and withdrew his job offer.
He was told that unless he committed to “promoting and embracing” LGBT ideology, he would not be employed.
With the help of Christian Concern and the Christian Legal Centre, Felix took legal action against Touchstone Support Leeds and won his case at the Employment Appeal Tribunal in London.
We continue to support him as he appeals aspects of this ruling to the Court of Appeal, in an attempt to further clarify and entrench Christian freedoms.
Watch Felix's story here👇
Disclaimer: this video was created ahead of Felix's win, so some details may be out of date.
Let these numbers sink in:
"From 1936–8, between 700,000 and 1.2 million people were tried and executed on trumped-up charges of hatching a Trotsky-Hitler plot to overthrow the Soviet Union."
Individualized justice under the rule of law has no meaning to tribal peoples. When a tribes kills or rapes a member of a different tribe, the response is communal, it must be if one is to secure a balance of terror that secures a modicum of social peace.
The failure of a communal response is understood by the aggressing tribe as a kind of consent. Western Europeans, long ago subdued by systems of individualized justice and rule of law, have largely relinquished the collective instinct for such conduct. Having imported tribal peoples from the dark and backward corners of the earth en masse, they effectively acquiesce to the mass rape of their own daughters. This would be true even if Western European criminal justice was swift and decisive rather than constrained by a mind virus that has judges forbidding the deportation of rapists to their home countries in deference to the human rights of the rapists that turned police into active collaborators in the gang rape of British children for decades.
Northern Ireland is a small pocket that retains some of its tribal character and capacity for communal violence. The way to preserve Western Europe as a place beyond tribalistic hatreds and violence was to keep out those who would not live by the same law governed protocols. Having failed in this reasonable and moderate course through the fecklessness of its political elites, now some degree of reversion to practices drawn from Europe's tribalistic past seems already baked into the cake.
Russia: 75% divorce rate. Collapsed birth rates. Sky-high alcoholism, sex-trafficking, and domestic abuse. Very low church attendance.
The only way you can say Russia isn’t in sharper decline is if you’re being paid to say that.
Coincidently, know the op when you see it.
Friendly reminder that Turkey is a Central Asian settler colony in Anatolia that was created through the worst genocide in Middle Eastern history during which it murdered millions of Greeks, Armenians, and other Christians, and is currently occupying and colonizing two countries.
This guy was a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford and a professor at Columbia, so of course he was in favor of defunding the police in 2020 and against it now. These people master the ability to play mind games at an Olympic level.
He essentially says “Of course I used to be in favor of defunding the police; I was a professor after all. Now that I’m a senate candidate, naturally I have to be in favor of the police.” Incredible.
As a journalist, I embedded with multiple groups of migrants during 2015-16 "Syrian" wave (only about a third were fleeing the civil war in Syria, from my observation). I even lived in a smuggler's safe house in Istanbul, waiting for weather conditions to permit a dinghy crossing from Izmir to Lesbos.
I went into that experience basically an open-borders person and left a restrictionist. Merkel's flinging the gates to more than 1 million newcomers was madness, sheer madness.
Even if these were the most aspirational migrants imaginable --- and they weren't, gotta be honest --- the numbers, the cultural distance, and the conditions of European society should've prompted a rethink. But no. Wir schaffen das.
I tried to put myself in the shoes of native working classes in the transit countries (the Balkans, Hungary, etc.) and the recipients (Germany, Sweden, etc.). It was obvious that they would experience it as a cataclysm.
Even if most wouldn't become victims of crime, this many newcomers were bound to generate acute incohesion experienced at the street, social services, and housing levels, mostly burdening the native poor and those on the lower rungs of the labor market.
The engine of assimilation, not particularly robust in most of Europe to begin with, breaks down in the face of sheer numbers. In retrospect, I've come to believe that this was the single worst and most consequential decision taken by European leaders in the 21st century.
I don't understand it. I remember @DouglasKMurray telling me at the early stages that the best way to help was in-country, meaning humanitarian assitance in the Middle East and North Africa, not by bringing them over. He was 100% correct.
The passage you accuse me of "leaving out" does not exonerate Slobodian's misrepresentation of a different passage. Nor have you made a compelling case for why your passage is singularly important to this issue.
Indeed, your passage isn't even from the same book. It's a different passage in Mises's 1922 book "Socialism," whereas Slobodian's misquotation is from his 1919 book "Nation, State, and Economy."
One might even conclude that YOU are the one being deceptive here, @jamesconran1, because you passed it off as if it was an omission by me from the 1919 text when it comes from a different work with a different context to the point being made.
Dear Harvard: It's not too late to right the wrong done to Carole Hooven. Please invite her to return to her teaching post at the University. Not only would it rectify an injustice, it would send a signal that Harvard honors academic freedom and intellectual integrity and no longer caves to mobs.
