Kimball on Kolakowski on Marxism as a Bogus Form of Religion
I have argued time and again that Marxism is not a religion. But many have a burning need so to misunderstand it. What the great Kolakowski says below reinforces me in the correctness of my opinion. As for Fredric Jameson, whom Roger Kimball discusses in his Guilt of the Intellectuals, I haven't read him and…

Diversity = Cultural Enrichment
California, Colorado, and now Ohio. As a former resident of Ohio, this got my attention: Welcome to Springfield, Ohio. It’s a nice town of about 60,000 that the administration decided needed about 20,000 Haitians – flown in directly from Haiti, mind you. Injecting this wonderful diversity from arguably the worst place on the planet into…

The Roots of STEM Excellence
An important WSJ article by Charles Murray. I wish Murray were more direct and less worried about being called a racist and a white supremacist. An excess of prudence and a deficit of courage? It is interesting how these two cardinal virtues pull in opposite directions. Related: Facing Reality: Two Truths about Race

The Integrationist Fantasy
E pluribus unum? Out of many, one? It can work, and it did work for a time, although not perfectly. But no longer. Whether a One can be made of Many depends on the nature of the Many. A viable One cannot be made out of just any Many. To think otherwise is to succumb…

J. D. Vance on Kamala the Chameleon
Under three minutes. Look, Dana, she's not running a political campaign. She's running a movie. She only speaks to voters behind a teleprompter. Everything is scripted. She doesn't have her policy positions out there. She hasn't answered why she wanted to ban fracking, but now she doesn't. She wanted to defund the police, but now…

Dem-Fems for Kamala
Miranda Devine: As polls show America’s young men are lurching rightward at a rapid pace, the Democratic brand has finally evolved into the party of scolding shrews, nagging Karens and “preachy females,” as Dem dinosaur James Carville calls them. Its image is tied to a type of unserious, self-involved, neurotic, dogmatic Dem-fem who insists on telling…

Death by DEI
Politicians are especially in danger, although we are all at risk. Christopher Rufo: To say it plainly: there is no need for women in a president’s security detail. The Secret Service is an elite institution that can funnel down a large number of candidates to select the few who will protect the president. The best…

Did SCOTUS “turn in Trump’s favor”?
Thus CNN. Of course not. What despicable idiots these hate-America leftist journos are! The correct decision happened to redound to his benefit. That's all.

Of DEI and the Devil
Top o' the Stack. Excerpt: The hard Left, which now controls the Democrat Party, is evil at its core. I don't say that every leftist, 'progressive,' and wokester is evil. Most of these folks are useful idiots. A large subset of them are superannuated, low-information, life-long Democrats who are pissing away their 'golden years' in…
