The Antiplanner.

The Mineta Institute — named after a San Jose congressman who was Secretary of Transportation in 2001 through 2006 — has a new report claiming that high-speed rail will produce huge economic and environmental benefits. Rather than being based on any careful analyses, it basically repeats old claims that are even less valid today than when they were first made.

“This pivots of when is learning through practice learning and when is it work.”

No, you haven’t had a stroke, and no, that line was not intended to make any sense. Rather, it is an excerpt of feedback provided for my Master’s thesis. Such is the contempt of the University I attended, that spell-checked exam materials and feedback were luxuries seldom afforded to most students. As graduation approaches, I am left to ponder the previous four years, asking all the while — was it really worth it?

The opening up of higher education to the masses has surely been beneficial to some for whom, like me, going to university 50 years ago would have been little more than a pipe dream. Yet, expanding student numbers to record levels has led many to the bitter understanding that quality education does not scale.

Hamas Should Send The Knesset a Fruit Basket

I have been reading about the Israeli government’s sorry response to the problem of unarmed citizens being murdered by imbeciles from Gaza.

I lived in Israel for 4 months, and back then, guns were everywhere, mainly in the hands of the omnipresent soldiers. I saw soldiers with M16’s on buses and city streets. I also knew a kibbutznik who had a rifle for hunting, and I was with him when he took it to an almond grove. I can’t find information on the history of Israel’s gun laws, but I know that prior to the Gaza ambush, it was very hard for Israelis to get guns. At best, you could get one pistol (pathetic) and 50 rounds of ammunition (enough to last a few minutes at best).

This, in a country where nearly everyone is forced to join the military for two years. It is no exaggeration to say Israel chooses not to trust millions of trained, patriotic soldiers with guns.

Compare and contrast Switzerland.

The Koran was written by Mohammed about 1,400 years ago. Actually, Mohammed was illiterate, so he dictated it to a scribe. Whatever. Then Karl Marx wrote The Communist Manifesto and other works around 150 years ago. Recent events in Israel, and the responses to them by various groups, have gotten me thinking about both of these books.

Followers of Marx killed over 100 million people just in the 1900s. How many people have been raped, tortured, and killed by followers of Mohammed over the past 1,400 years? It’s hard to imagine. I really have no idea, but it’s millions and millions. And they’re not done, as Israelis will attest.

The attack Hamas launched on Israel Saturday was “a genocidal savage rampage by uncontrollable militants who were simply trying to destroy Jews,” says Victoria Coates, who formerly served as a deputy national security advisor to President Donald Trump.

Hundreds of Israelis were killed in the initial attack and the death toll, which includes at least 14 Americans, continues to rise.

Reports of Hamas torturing Israeli citizens and beheading babies are “appalling, and it shows you what these people are capable of,” says Coates, who is vice president of the Institute for National Security and Foreign Policy at The Heritage Foundation.

Identity politics is best understood as a moral caste system. Buying into variants such as critical race theory means accepting that your actions matter less than your race, gender or sexuality. The promised liberation of identity politics imposes the collectivist understanding that nothing you do truly matters outside the constraints of your caste. Who you were born is who you are.

Identity politics denies that any particular human being is an individual and regards him or her simply as an instance of a specified class. Most people don’t even push back; “I am an X” or especially “As an X” is one of the most frequent thing you’ll hear out of most people’s mouths.

Following a day of protests after a former Philadelphia police officer had murder charges tossed by a judge, looters ransacked an Apple Store in Philadelphia’s Center City on September 26.

The thefts, as well as others at other stories throughout the city that night and for several days afterward, had been openly planned on social media, The Philadelphia Inquirer reported. More than 60 people had been arrested after the first two nights of looting throughout the city, although it’s not clear how many of them had been at the Apple Store specifically.

As is usually the case with display iPhones and other items stolen from stores, the stolen devices did not work, and the thieves could be seen on viral videos dropping the useless phones on the ground.

“Congratulations: TO THE TRUTH!”

No, that’s not a tweet from Jennifer Rubin or @NaztyWmn4Biden on Election Day 2020. It’s what famed reporter Bob Woodward wrote in a signed copy of his Watergate book, The Last of the President’s Men, given to Cassidy Hutchinson, the former White House staffer whose “explosive” testimony before the January 6 committee in 2022 fueled several weeks’ worth of hysterical commentary on CNN and MSNBC.

Hutchinson, as expected, has written her own book. (Her name and face appear on the cover, at least.) Enough is a memoir, both personal and political, recounting the author’s breakneck journey from abandoned daughter to homework aficionado to Capital Hill intern to low-level staffer in the Trump White House to high-level staffer to subject of a congressional investigation to divine apostle of TRUTH, hero of the anti-Trump #Resistance, and published author.

The book, as intended, has titillated journalists (and other activist Democrats) with splashy headlines about Rudy Giuliani’s cold-fingered gropey hands and sordid tales of how the Trump White House was “more chaotic than previously known.” Whether out of a cynical desire for clicks and ratings, or due to some undiagnosed mental health disorder, these people insist on making Donald J. Trump the lead character in every story about American politics.

Enough isn’t a book about Trump, it’s a book about Cassidy Hutchinson. For that reason, it’s one of the most authentically compelling (and terrifying) accounts of the inner workings of official Washington, D.C., sometimes referred to as “The Swamp,” at least since Veep went off the air in 2019. For starters, it’s the first political memoir I’ve seen that is dedicated to the author’s attorneys. It won’t be the last.

Washington Free Beacon.

Let’s say you’re scanning a few labels of convenience foods you have on hand. The “modified starch” in your tub of rice pudding sounds more innocuous than hydroxypropyl distarch phosphate, one of its scientific synthetic names. But maybe the “yellow prussiate of soda” vs. sodium ferrocyanide in your rolled oats is a closer call.

No matter. You as an average consumer in an industrialized nation probably don’t give either of them much thought, even though you are estimated to ingest 17.6 pounds of food additives per year. You assume they have been deemed safe for consumption and that they serve a purpose: to emulsify or stabilize, to extend shelf life, to keep bits from clumping together. Better living through chemistry!

What these ingredients have in common, though, is that they are among the thousands of “self-certified” industrial substances on the FDA’s list of GRAS additives, or Generally Recognized as Safe. Certified, as in, declared safe not by government standards, but by or on behalf of the companies who make and use them.

Independent journalist Tucker Carlson took a deep dive into how genital mutilation and chemical castration became a lucrative industry.

During the October 4th edition of his show, Carlson brought on “investment banker and policy guy” Chris Moritz to discuss who benefits from something as “unnatural and prima-facie demented” as transgenderism. Moritz discussed how companies such as Pfizer profit off of puberty blockers, testosterone and estrogen, while making some disturbing comments about the incentivization of harmful drugs and surgeries. It seems that X (formerly Twitter) categorized the video as what X CEO Linda Yaccarino calls “lawful but awful” as the platform appears to have demonetized the video.

Elon Musk shared the video encouraging his followers to “Follow the money.” However, X demonetized the post, according to Libs of TikTok founder Chaya Raichik. Raichik suggested that the platform may have taken action against the video for using the words “genital mutilation” in the post accompanying the video.

In the video, Moritz explained why the health industry has been so quick to accept transgender ideology.”There are very perverse incentives for health systems to go full on board with this, this line of service and this line of products,” he said. Leftist groups like Human Rights Campaign, Mortiz added, “have established what is essentially ESG for trans. They call it HEI — Health, Equity, Inclusion.” Moritz noted that like ESG, or Environmental, Social and Governance standards, HEI scores entities based on their adherence to woke ideology and pressures them into supporting a leftist agenda. “Human Rights Campaign, about fifteen years ago, established this national benchmarking tool, and it effectively is a equity and inclusion gauge for health systems. And it is used coercively,” said Moritz.

The nine mutinous migrants had been a part of a larger group of 78 people who on the morning of Monday, October 2nd, departed from the North African coast in two separate boats in an attempt to reach the Canary Islands. The incident began after the Dutch ship “Vose Pace”—after realizing the precariousness of the two ships—rescued both, only to have some of those on board the second one threatening them with deadly weapons, El Debate reports.

The threat of violence came, apparently, because the Dutch ship, having rescued the two boats in waters under Moroccan rescue responsibility, received directions from Rabat to return the boats to the southern Moroccan port of Tan-Tan.

Though there’s a long history of scandal in the olive oil world, the problem in the U.S. for consumers is less about oil that isn’t made from olives, and more about olive oil that doesn’t meet the quality standards declared on its label. But since most people in the U.S. can’t tell fusty and musty from pungent and fruity, low-quality olive oil masquerading as extra virgin is a hard problem to fix.

Here’s a story destined for urgent dispatch down the Memory Hole. In fact, if you listen closely, you can already hear it being sucked down through the ducts of the GloboCap Ministry of Truth toward the enormous mnemonic incinerator where all official “unstories” go to die.

Yesterday, it was an embarrassment. Tomorrow, it will no longer be of interest. By next week, it will have never happened.

So, let’s review it before that happens … and perhaps try to understand why it happened.

“Nobody plays with Ken,” Ryan Gosling told Jimmy Fallon in an interview prior to the release of the Barbie movie. “He’s just an accessory and not even one of the cool ones.”

From the original advertising, it seemed that playing Ken was unusual for Gosling, who often portrays complex and troubled male characters. In Blade Runner 2049, for example, his role reflected the sensation of feeling not only lonely, but lost in a world and trying to find purpose within it.

This stands in stark contrast to Ken’s initial depiction as a clingy, unassertive simp who secretly harbours resentment about being in the friendzone. As the infamous Barbie poster says, “She’s everything. He’s just Ken.”

When I was a kid we were taught in school that America is a nation of immigrants. It was seen as something to be proud of, even if it arguably left out Native Americans. But now the phrase is taking on a whole new meaning, as illegal immigrants threaten to take over from childbirth as our main source of population growth.

Slovakia goes to the polls this weekend in an election that The New York Times warns us could be a victory for the “far right” in Europe—and even a harbinger for the return of “fascism.” Why? Because Robert Fico, the right-wing politician who has a good chance of returning to power, is a critic of NATO’s strategy on the Ukraine war. It used to be said that with Washington’s neoconservatives, it is always Munich 1938. Since Russia invaded Ukraine, it has become true of the liberals too.
