There are some big changes coming at Veterans Affairs next year, primarily in the form of tens of thousands of people leaving the agency and not being replaced. As is so often the case, the explanation being offered by the government is as clear as mud. They are rushing to assure everyone that they aren’t […]
This certainly isn’t the kind of news you want to see if you’re a public transportation service that is running out of money and about to push for higher taxes on local residents. The Inspector General who oversees the Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) system has identified employees who were clocking in for overtime and […]
For as much and as long as I have been hammering away at the fascist lunatics in Scotland, I have also been watching my other ancestral homeland in abject horror, descending into what can only be described as an authoritarian hellscape. Again, orchestrated by people voted into power by citizens, yes. Again – as with […]
“Laws? Where we’re going, we don’t need any laws.” Rather than a line from the script of a futuristic movie, that may now be an emerging legal concept in the courts of Illinois. This month, an Obama-appointed judge in the Northern District of Illinois dismissed illegal firearm possession charges against an illegal immigrant named Heriberto […]
Academic Jonathan Haidt was on Joe Rogan’s show yesterday. The discussion started with some talk about Haidt’s new book and his arguments about the ways in which smart phones and social media are contributing to the mental health crisis among teens.

Some might be the mothering, smothering kind of individual in their own right, while others might be well-organized and slightly less empathetic.

In January, the University of California announced that it would begin allowing illegal aliens to apply for jobs on campus. There was some pushback against the plan (more on that in a moment), so they decided to hold off on implementing it. But other colleges and universities have been making noises along similar lines, so […]
French Senators from the center-right party Les Républicains have issued a new report which recommends a ban on gender affirming medical care for those under the age of 18. The 340-page report comes in advance of a recommendation by France’s High Authority of Health which is expected sometime soon. A lengthy investigation initiated by centre-right […]
Here are a couple of questions: is Harvard a hotbed of plagiarism, or perhaps academia as a whole?
