When are eclectic dining tastes not signs of “diverse” interests?
When a Social Justice Warrior says so, and that’s that.
The College Fix recently reported that Sara Kay, a grad student in the field of “Food Services” at New York University, just penned an article for Eater based on her “research” into the use of the word “authentic” when reviewers described dining establishments. And, using…
Leave it to Liz “Faux-a-hontas” Warren to get fundamental facts about virtually anything embarrassingly wrong.
Evidently not satisfied by making a fool of herself for claiming to be an American Indian when applying for a plum position at Harvard, then for years resisting calls to prove it, only to finally release a blood test that showed she had less “ancient American” heritage (heritage…
Billy wants to take a bite out of the Big Apple's private property with the force of government action. "We will seize their buildings," he says.
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio might not have a lot going for him when it comes to grace and erudition, but, in the field of elitist, anti-individual, command-and-control minds, he’s near the top, and Reason’s Joe Setyon just released a story…
Our lesson up front:
This story is only superficially about the “Drag Queen Teen Time” event in Nashua, NH. That’s the flashy, “explosive”, “children-will-see-this?!” title that distracts people from the deeper lesson.
This actually is a story about an axiom in political-economics and ethics, and it can be revealed first, with a fundamental question.
Want to know an easy way to pit…
End-of-the-year summations are popular as reporters look for stories to fill the holiday week between Christmas Eve and the New Year. Often, the releases are fluff, but once in a while, a reader can catch something valuable, and Tyler Durden, of Zerohedge did just that a few days ago. Durden noted the importance of the United Van Lines annual “National Movers’ Study”, which compiles their stats…
Remember when Hillary Clinton laughed about the unconstitutional U.S.-led overthrow of Libya, and when CBS’s obsequious Lesley Stahl asked about the murder of former leader Moammar Gaddafi, Clinton said, “We came. We saw. He died…”
Remember when Barack Obama and his Democrat and RINO allies unconstitutionally tried to overthrow the leader of Syria?
Remember when millions of refugees fled…
My dad, Paul, wrote may pro-freedom aphorisms from the days he was in the Pacific in World War Two to the end of his days on Earth, and one of them stands out with the resonance of a well-struck alarm bell.
In the 1980s, he wrote, “When the shark smiles, beware.”
Nancy Pelosi smiles a lot...
Fake. Plastic. Shifty. Hiding not-so-pleasant plans for you behind the mask.
And David Harsanyi…
One of the important lessons to be derived from observations of politics and economics is this: the larger the sphere of control, the more dangerous it is, and the more prone to mistakes that can damage more people.
As a result, decentralization of political units, run through smaller, autonomous -- or close-to autonomous -- control spheres, is generally more conducive to human freedom and to…
The Identity Politics Chickens have come home to roost.
In a new piece published on December 31, Reason’s Robby Soave reports that the organizers of the Eureka, California, “Women’s March” have cancelled their auspicious Postmodernist, “identity politics”, collectivism-pushing event.
Why? Those who were attending this march to “empower” (i.e. push fascist and collectivist legislation) the “…
TheRoot.com commentator Michael Harriot has a way of infusing his racially charged pieces with a lot of humor, satire, and glib turns of phrase, so it’s easy to enjoy his writing and finish with a neutral feeling of, “well, that one was intense, but he did it with a smile.”
Unfortunately, on December 27, Mr. Harriot lampooned the creation of a man I know, and did a disservice to the…
