That’s Not Funny!

23rd March 2021

John Hinderaker at PowerLine.

The New York Times, which these days is the Democratic Party’s goon squad, is trying to drive the Babylon Bee out of existence. The Bee hilariously mocks liberalism, and if there is anything liberals can’t tolerate it is humor. So the Times is trying to get social media sites to shut the Bee down.

Cashing In On Government Service – Obama Staffers Return To Biden White House Worth Millions

23rd March 2021

Read it.

Former officials reuniting in the White House under President Joe Biden have gotten dramatically wealthier since the previous Democratic administration, a Sunday report shows.

Officials returning to the White House under the Biden administration have grown much richer and more intimate with the corporate world over the years, ABC News reported.

Domestic Policy Council Director Susan Rice is among the wealthiest in the Biden White House team. Rice has substantially increased her wealth since her previous White House job, reporting between $36 million and $149 million in various assets, according to her latest disclosure report released Saturday.

Doing well by doing good.

The Diversity Tax

21st March 2021

Those Who Can See.

It is in our day an undisputed fact, almost a religious dogma, that ‘diversity is our strength.’ This credo is endlessly repeated by our leaders, including the heads of state of the U.S., Canada, Australia, the U.K., and France.

We at TWCS propose, on the contrary, that in Western countries diversity has proven to be much more like a tax. A tax that falls, like medieval manorial dues, disproportionately on the working classes.

Painters, Pigments, and the Making of the Florentine Codex

20th March 2021

Read it.

When Franciscan missionary Bernardino de Sahagún arrived in New Spain (Mexico) in 1529, he embarked on an extraordinary project: the compilation of an encyclopedic compendium of the world of the Aztecs in the wake of the Spanish conquest a decade earlier.

Finally completed between 1576 and 1577 – essentially Sahagún’s life’s work – the result was the Historia general de las cosas de la Nueva España (the General History of the Things of New Spain). Sometime between 1578 and 1584 the manuscript was taken to Spain and by 1588 Sahagún’s Historia found its way to Florence, part of the Medici family’s magnificent collections. How exactly the Historia came into Medici hands remains unclear but that is where it still resides today, in the Biblioteca Medicea Laurenziana, which explains how the Historia became more commonly known as the Florentine Codex.

When I was in graduate school, a guy in the local SCA group was a bore about Nahuatl. He wandered the town looking for brightly colored feathers from which he planned to make an Aztec feather cloak. Don’t know whether he ever succeeded.

The Reason of Jordan Peterson

20th March 2021

Read it.

If only Hamlet had known Jordan Peterson. To be or not to be, Dr Peterson believes, is indeed the burning question — but it’s a question that can be resolved decisively in favor of Being with a capital B. And he’s willing to walk any modern-day Hamlet who cares to listen through the math.

This reasoned position in favor of existence is at the heart of Jordan Peterson’s latest book, Beyond Chaos: 12 More Rules for Life. It’s also, I’d argue, at the heart of his popular appeal. Sure, his undeniable charisma doesn’t hurt; and of course, he’s brilliant, well-read and articulate. But so are many other public intellectuals. What’s unique about Peterson is his insistence that we can use human observation and reason, guided by traditional wisdom (contained in ‘myths’), to determine that existence is objectively better than non-existence, and that there are demonstrably good reasons (and good ways) to engage energetically in the business of living.

Substack Attack

20th March 2021

Read it.

Different sorts of writers have found a home there: right-leaning commentators like Jonah Goldberg and Erick Erickson, left-wing journalists such as Judd Legum and Luke O’Neil, and a swelling pool of progressive authors who have struggled to fit in at ideologically conformist progressive publications. Among these are Matt Yglesias, Andrew Sullivan and Glenn Greenwald, who left Vox, New York magazine and the Intercept respectively to build their own platforms.

This development has not gone down especially well among progressives, with inevitable results. As The Spectator’s own Stephen L. Miller said in November, ‘It’s only a matter of time before the media tech hall monitors turn their attention to Substack.’

Well, here they come — sizing up the platform like mobsters sizing up a shop that has just opened in their neighborhood.

Project Veritas vs. New York Times

20th March 2021

John Hinderaker at PowerLine.

Last September, Project Veritas released a video that suggested there has been substantial voter fraud in Minnesota elections, particularly in the Somali community, and linked that fraud to Ilhan Omar’s machine. The New York Times then published a series of articles that smeared Veritas and its video as a “coordinated disinformation campaign,” alleging that the video was “deceptive” and “false.” Project Veritas sued the Times in state court in New York, and the Times moved to dismiss the lawsuit for failure to state a claim.

On Thursday, the presiding judge denied the Times’s motion to dismiss in an opinion you can read here. Denial of the motion to dismiss does not mean that Veritas will ultimately win the case, obviously, but it means that Veritas will be able to proceed with discovery and try to prove that the newspaper’s reporters and editors acted with “actual malice.” That means they knew their stories were false, or realized they were likely false, and printed them anyway.

The ‘Extremist’ Boomerang

20th March 2021

The Other McCain.

Why has the media become so obsessed with “white nationalism” as a domestic terrorist threat? Kyle Shideler makes an interesting argument that what has happened is an indirect consequence of the refusal of national-security officials, in the post-9/11 environment, to be specific in naming the nature of the threat we faced. Because they did not wish to define the threat as Islamic terrorism, instead the national security establishment defined the problem as “extremism.”

“With Terror and Slaughter Return”

20th March 2021

John Derbyshire.

The message we’re getting here from the Gods of the Market Place is, that because the sinister, evil Donald Trump told us that Covid-19 was a Chinese virus, his followers—who are, of course, all gap-toothed white supremacist persecutors of nonwhites—have been attacking anyone who looks Asian: sucker-punching them, shoving them under subway train s, and so on.

The problem with that narrative is, as even the normally race-shy Tucker Carlson noted in his March 18th show (at 6m22s here), quoting figures from the Bureau of Justice Statistics, that blacks are far more likely than any other race to attack Asian Americans.

While the case did not specifically relate to either paper, the judge used his opinion to argue that the Times and Post served largely as mouthpieces for the Democratic Party, adding “the news section of The Wall Street Journal leans in the same direction.”

Ancient Native Americans Were Among the World’s First Coppersmiths

20th March 2021

Read it.

About 8500 years ago, hunter-gatherers living beside Eagle Lake in Wisconsin hammered out a conical, 10-centimeter-long projectile point made of pure copper. The finely crafted point, used to hunt big game, highlights a New World technological triumph—and a puzzle. A new study of that artifact and other traces of prehistoric mining concludes that what is known as the Old Copper Culture emerged, then mysteriously faded, far earlier than once thought.

Spacecraft in a ‘Warp Bubble’ Could Travel Faster Than Light, Claims Physicist

20th March 2021

Read it.

Lentz proposes that conventional energy sources could be capable of arranging the structure of spacetime in the form of a soliton – a robust singular wave. This soliton would act like a “warp bubble’”, contracting space in front of it and expanding space behind. Unlike objects within spacetime, spacetime itself can bend, expand or warp at any speed. Therefore, a spacecraft contained in a hyper-fast bubble could arrive at its destination faster than light would in normal space without breaking any physical laws, even Einstein’s cosmic speed limit.

Government Power Grab Thwarted By ‘Unconstitutional’ Eviction Moratorium

20th March 2021

Read it.

As Americans reflect on the past year and how much power the federal government has taken for itself in the name of COVID-19, one of the most far-reaching power grabs came directly from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) in the form of a nationwide eviction moratorium order.

Under the order, private property owners are required to allow non-paying renters to live rent-free until the federal government says otherwise, costing landlords billions of dollars in unpaid rent — all while landowners remain responsible for property taxes, mortgages, and the costs of their property. And if a property owner tries to get their property back by filing an eviction case, the federal government says it can fine them up to $100,000 and even put them in jail.

How Not to Do Diplomacy

20th March 2021

Read it.

During the last four years, one of the regular complaints about President Trump was that he was too nice to our enemies. He met with them (gasp!), he spoke well of them (horrors!), he complimented them (mon dieu!). And this was why Democrats (and far too many Republicans) kept insisting he was an agent of Russia or some such nonsense.

The fact is, when you’re trying to get someone on your side, you do exactly what President Trump did. You kill them with kindness. You show an interest in them. You speak well of them. You highlight their successes. It’s all right there in How to Win Friends and Influence People, the kajillion-selling book by Dale Carnegie. (A book I recommend to everyone, but especially those who seek public office.) It’s probably found in The Art of the Deal, too, but I haven’t read that one.

It seemed as if Democrats (and far too many Republicans) wanted President Trump to enter into delicate negotiations by insulting world leaders or otherwise telling them off.

How well does that tactic work?

Biden Administration Silent After Ford Ditches Ohio For Mexico

19th March 2021

Read it.

Ford announced it is moving a nearly $1 billion project from Ohio to Mexico, prompting criticism from a major labor union and silence from the Biden administration, which has pledged to invest in domestic union projects.

Perhaps they decided that the easiest place to hire Mexicans is in, you know, Mexico.

Watch CNN’s Fake Fact Check of Fox on Immigration Fail Miserably

19th March 2021

Read it.

On Wednesday’s New Day show, CNN analyst John Avlon delivered a misleading “Reality Check” that promised to explain “what is really going on” at the border with Mexico, suggesting that “right-wing media” like Fox News are spreading misinformation.

In actual “reality,” regular Fox News viewers would be better informed about why the large number of illegal border crossings is happening than those of CNN. In fact, just recently, Fox News ran a report informing viewers that the overwhelming majority of asylum requests by illegal immigrants are frivolous and are rejected — the kind of critical information you’d never hear on CNN or other liberal media outlets.

CNN is turning into the Comedy Channel.
