.@SecMullinDHS: "He was a thug. He was a gangbanger... should've been deported years ago, but of course, the state of New York is a sanctuary state and these are the kinds of criminals that are running wild."
Author Heather Mac Donald says “systemic racism” is not the reason Black Americans are underrepresented in colleges and professions, she says the real reason is a "skills gap”
“This is something that's very difficult to talk about, and I need to give a trigger warning. But the average skill level of black students is very, very low”
“According to the most widely used, objective, respected measures of student competence, The NAEP, the National Assessment of Educational Progress, which is given to hundreds of thousands of high school students and elementary school students every couple of years, 66% of Black 12th graders do not possess even the most basic 12th grade math skills”
She says it is not racism to notice and talk about these things. She says this is why DEI is so destructive
“That skills gap means that you can have meritocracy in an institution, or you can have diversity. You cannot have both. Am I a racist for bringing this up? I am not.
The facts are the facts. I don't care. The facts need to be looked at. They have been completely kept out of the public eye in order to keep this systemic lie of racism going on”
Let me just say that if the cause of black people not being proficient in certain things really was “systemic racism,” and it really was the White person holding them down, then that would be felt by all races
But it’s not, if you look at the test scores in universities, Asians are beating whites in every category
It has nothing to do with systematic racism
@emilyjashinsky@JSweetLI@FDRLST@briannalyman2 Of course the NYT decided to pick & chose what facts to report. If the facts don't support their agenda, they just ignore them. The facts that would present an alternate view are pesky things that don't need to make it past the reporter/filter. 🙄 Propaganda is not journalism.
If you watch the NYAG Letitita James vs Saritha Komatireddy debate, you come away wondering who is more culpable for reckless stupidity: Letitia James or the fools who vote for her.
“Sexual liberation” was a classic product of 1960’s youth culture—self-involved and ignorant of human nature. It denied the profound differences between the sexes, including the male and female libido and different emotional responses to coitus. But progressives block any attempt to restore essential norms of sexual prudence and instead layer onto this primal, complicated instinct absurd bureaucratic rules regarding “consent.” Jane Doe is the poster child for the disaster wrought by those self-indulgent adolescents frolicking naked in the mud of Woodstock.
I discuss the Cornell 7 case with @megynkelly:
The response to my post last week reinforced my instinct to put the facts out there, trust people to look at them fairly, and let them make up their own minds.
I especially appreciated hearing from people who reconsidered things they had previously believed after seeing the facts.
A recent article brought together many false claims and misperceptions about me that have accumulated and been repeated over the years. Rather than continue responding to them one at a time, I decided to address them all in one place, with supporting documents.
For anyone interested in the facts:

Now, back to work.
On Wednesday, I traveled to the Pnyx, a hillside overlooking the towering columns of the Acropolis in Athens.
There, I delivered a simple message: The West is at a crossroads. The decisions we make in the next decade will define the next century.

Great speech by Marco at one of the birthplaces of Western Civilization today. Our friends in Europe face a stark choice: decline or renewal. I hope they choose wisely.
