The racial group with which Trump has the highest approval rating, at 63 percent, is...Hispanics. It's ceasing to be a narrative violation that as the salience of deportations increases, his popularity with Hispanics grows. This is just what they want.

These optics are amazing except for the purposes of achieving the political goal the protest says it wants

Debunking podcaster Michael Hobbes weighs in on Megan McArdle criticizing Bloooskǐe as a fading echo chamber. Hobbes is the 257th most followed account on a site that at least nominally has 36 million users.

I’ve always said that illegal immigrants are mostly courageous, enterprising people who made a bet that they could cross the border in defiance of US immigration law with impunity. For decades that was a good bet, and that’s fine. I’ve also said that the politics of the country

Average right wing critique of menswear guy: "you like traditional menswear yet you spurn the traditions and institutions of the society that made it." Average leftwing critique of menswear guy: "your family should have been shot in the revolution and we'll finish the job."

Washington Post just casually re-writing history about the 50 migrants Ron DeSantis flew to Martha’s Vineyard in 2022. Massachusetts activated the National Guard (for 50 migrants!!) and within 44 hours of their arrival they were shipped to a military base.

Academia has blatantly discriminated against conservatives for years, peaking over the last ten. If we somehow got a job, progs would do almost anything to cancel us. They still do. NYT doesn't care about academic freedom. It just wants to keep progressive hegemony normative.

The Left is giving Trump all of the visual symbolism he needs: rioting, burning cars, assaulting police, while waving the flag of a foreign nation. They are making his case for him.

The best post I’ve read on r/MBA in 2025. So funny I cried. 6 screenshots

People have a hard time taking seriously the reality of malevolent evil. They don’t think that it’s REAL. I wish that Star Trek morality were right, and that malevolence always came down to a misunderstanding. But that is not so.

Think of the bind Gavin Newsom is in. He wants desperately to be POTUS. His best argument in his favor would be a well run, orderly California. But in order to have a chance at the Democratic nomination, he has to go along with the freakshow and destroy his state.

Public trust in and support for science will not recover until scientists, science administrators, science journal editors, and science professional society heads who defrauded the public about the origin of COVID are repudiated by, and removed from, the scientific establishment.

I was just reading the comments on a Facebook post from my county’s scanner about a guy who got trapped in an industrial shredder and died. There is a woman complaining that including the name of the location creates “an absolute nightmare” for the human resources staff.
