Culture in all its manifestations, high and low
The Lincoln Project is planning ads to attack vulnerable senators to pressure them to stonewall President Trump’s nominee to the Supreme Court.
This reveals that their hate for President Trump is not rooted in any “conservative principals.” It is strictly condescending hate for President Trump and Trump voters.... [Read More]
Looking for a good read? Here is a recommendation. I have an unusual approach to reviewing books. I review books I feel merit a review. Each review is an opportunity to recommend a book. If I do not think a book is worth reading, I find another book to review. You do not have to agree with everything every author has written (I do not), but the fiction I review is entertaining (and often thought-provoking) and the non-fiction contain ideas worth reading....

I have seen this in several places on the internet.
Yeah, I know; somebody was wrong on the internet.
What I saw was “77 percent of Catholics favor abortion in all or most circumstances.”

Muslim scum, right? Can’t be trusted. Suspect. Dangerous.
What to do about these seditious Muslim terrorists in the midst? Why let them proliferate and use up resources that decent people need?
Lock them up. Eliminate them. Eliminate all record that they ever existed.

“Gateskeepers.” That was a nice neologism in a clever headline from the Columbia Journalism Review, in an article by Tim Schwab.
He was referring to the curators of news in the Fake News Media. The focus of the article was the huge influence bought by Bill Gates via grants, contributions, seminars, special gifts, etc. I was surprised that they were willing to publish at all on this topic.
While we are all diverted by the pernicious influence of George Soros’s money, hardly any notice is paid to Bill Gates’s money. Perhaps Gates just seems less malevolent.
The article is long and fully packed. Here are the best excerpts:

The fires out here have finally blown the virus out of the government topic of the day. Something about imminent danger and the fact that a poor response is immediately visible to politicians and the voting public seems to change the topic.
We here across the river have smoke and foul air but nothing compared to our former home.... [Read More]
I want to apologize for my mistake in singling out a student and any misunderstandings that arose from that. One of my favorite things about working at a liberal arts institution is that the University community has diverse perspectives. All students, faculty, and staff are able to engage in civil discourse with those whose views may be different from their own, and to learn about those views in an academic setting. I value and support these conversations with students, and I know that students value these conversations with their peers as well.
That is the apology from Dr. Avery Tomkins, “Diversity Scholar.”

Occasionally, one comes across a book so well written that the reader is left awestruck at the skill of the author. This is such a book – a meticulously-researched fictionalized account of an historical event in 1700s Scotland.... [Read More]
